She had been attending to Rong Xun for a whole day and night, not daring to entrust this task to others. However, somehow the concubines in the harem got wind of this and flocked to the Cool Palace, wailing and crying.
From afar, Wen Ruxue could be seen rushing towards the palace with large and small packages in her hands.
When she saw Tang Youyou, instead of her usual respectful attitude, her eyes were filled with anger.
Seeing Tang Youyou, Wen Ruxue sneered, "Your Majesty the Queen, the Emperor was resting well in your palace yesterday. How come he's seriously injured today? If the court officials find out about this, what will they think?"
"If His Majesty's injury is caused by the lack of peace in the Queen's palace, how can we not be worried?"
Wen Ruxue's words instantly ignited the anger of everyone present, and they all directed their fury at Tang Youyou.
Among them was Su Nian'e, who limped over with difficulty. Seeing Tang Youyou being pointed at and criticized by the crowd, she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you punished me for my lack of etiquette yesterday. But today, because of your negligence, the Emperor was injured. Aren't you being too irresponsible?"
Before Tang Youyou could say a word, Rong Xun on the bed slowly sat up. With an imposing manner, he calmly stared at Su Nian'e.
"The Queen punished you yesterday, and today you're still being unreasonable and forgetful?"
Hearing this, Su Nian'e, who had been so aggressive just now, immediately shut her mouth. Wen Ruxue beside her also fell silent. The concubines looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Rong Xun's long and narrow eyes swept across everyone present. Their panicked expressions seemed to show concern, but beneath that concern, each had their own agenda.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wen Ruxue slowly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we know our mistakes. We were just worried about the Emperor's health and didn't mean to say those things. If the Queen's palace were more peaceful, the Emperor wouldn't have been injured."
Just as she finished speaking, the imperial physician appeared at the door again. As usual, he would check the Emperor's pulse.
Everyone was waiting for him to speak. Unexpectedly, the old man smiled slightly, then turned to look at Tang Youyou and said, "The Queen is really considerate. In just over a day, she has taken such good care of the Emperor that his health has improved significantly."
As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines who were about to add fuel to the fire also shut their mouths. Seeing this, Tang Youyou felt extremely satisfied. After all, it was a public humiliation based on facts.
She seriously suspected that this imperial physician was sent by Rong Xun to anger these people on purpose.
After a while, the imperial physician revised the prescription again. But this time, he didn't give many instructions. He only said that the Emperor would recover completely in about ten days.
Hearing this, the expressions of the people present were extremely colorful and interesting.
Now that everything had been clarified, Tang Youyou found it convenient to see the guests off. Ignoring the doting look in Rong Xun's eyes behind her, she raised her eyes to meet the concubines who had "gathered to cause trouble" and said with a smile, "Since the Emperor is in good health, please don't worry anymore. I am the Emperor's legitimate wife, and I would never harm him. Please go back to your palaces and rest. Don't disturb the Emperor's peace."
With this clear order to leave, the concubines left the Cool Palace one after another. Many of them whispered to each other, discussing Tang Youyou's actions.
But when these "stayers" saw Kang Fuhai walking in, they disappeared without a trace in an instant. It was really true that the wicked were always afraid of someone more wicked.
Most of them knew Kang Fuhai's temper and naturally didn't dare to offend him.
After everything was done, Tang Youyou clapped her hands gently and then remembered the patient behind her.
She walked over slowly, looking at Rong Xun's pale lips and sallow complexion, and couldn't help but click her tongue twice.
This look of hers once again made Rong Xun on the bed start to have wild thoughts. He smiled and said, "You'er, don't worry about your husband's health. It's worth it for your husband to do anything for you."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was slightly stunned at first, and then couldn't help but shake her head. She said seriously, "Rong Xun, don't you feel that anyone who gets close to you always has bad luck?"
Thinking about it, Rong Xun was also stunned. It seemed that it was really as she said. But he just regarded this as a joke from Tang Youyou.
But Tang Youyou didn't think so.
After a whole afternoon, Tang Youyou was sweating profusely from her busy work. Taking care of Rong Xun's daily life was really a time - consuming task. She didn't know that even the basins used by an emperor in ancient times for going to the toilet were divided into five types.
It was really... inhumane.
This was probably the life of the rich.
But now, she finally had some free time. While Rong Xun was sleeping, she quietly slipped into her study. Looking at the big and small boxes here, she packed them all up.
Inside these boxes were the jewels and gold she had accumulated over the years. This was all her wealth. Anyway, taking advantage of the dark and windy night, if she slipped away at this moment, not many people would notice.
In a flash, Tang Youyou finally got her luggage ready and stepped out of the Cool Palace.
Looking at the scenery in the imperial garden, she felt it was a pity that she hadn't eaten enough of the lotus seeds here.
But in an instant, her nostalgic expression turned into determination. She left without hesitation. However, in a short while, Rong Xun's coughing face appeared in her mind again.
She couldn't help but turn back to the Cool Palace again. But this time, when she passed by the imperial garden, she unexpectedly met Yue Fusheng.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Yue Fusheng was puzzled. Looking at Tang Youyou's sneaky appearance, it didn't seem like she was doing something good. Could it be...
As soon as he finished speaking, the package on Tang Youyou's back suddenly fell to the ground, and the gold and jewels inside scattered everywhere. The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
Tang Youyou finally began to explain, "I just want to live in a different place, so I'm taking some things and leaving here."
Hearing this, Yue Fusheng couldn't hold it in anymore. He was so angry that his face turned red, and he stared straight into Tang Youyou's eyes.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you've been living so well in the palace. Why do you want to leave?"
But Tang Youyou was very confident. Although she had been caught, there was no sign of retreat in her words. "That's not okay. I don't want to be a caged bird in the palace. Whoever wants to live this kind of life can have it. Anyway, I don't care about it."
