In the blink of an eye, Tang Youyou looked around at the shrubs. She didn't know why she was so jumpy now.
Sure enough, as expected.
A number of people suddenly jumped out of the bushes again.
These people were dressed in dark purple clothes. It was obvious that they were from the palace.
Among them, the leader was an old acquaintance.
Yin Jianchen wore a malicious smile on his face and greeted Tang Youyou politely, "Your Majesty the Queen, long time no see."
As soon as he said this, the first one to be shocked was Yi Ran, Tang Youyou's little follower beside her. Yi Ran looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. This was clearly a man!
Why was this the case!
Yi Ran stared at Tang Youyou with wide eyes but didn't say a word.
Tang Youyou also let out a laugh and said helplessly, "You guys are really... like ghosts that won't leave me alone."
In an instant, Yin Jianchen, who had been polite just now, suddenly changed his expression. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yue Fusheng was full of provocation. He raised his gloved hand and said with a slight curl of his lips, "Take the Queen away. Kill the rest without mercy!"
As his voice fell, a group of people immediately rushed forward. In an instant, under the glint of swords and daggers, a fierce battle began.
Obviously, these people were targeting Yue Fusheng. Tang Youyou didn't expect that they were really going to do it for real. For a moment, she was so frightened that she stood still and just watched the fight.
She saw a man in the distance with a slightly solemn look in his eyes. Seeing that Yue Fusheng had perfectly dodged all the attacks, he jumped and landed behind Tang Youyou. Then he raised his sword and struck.
Swish!
A shrill scream instantly echoed through the entire forest. Looking over, they saw Yue Fusheng standing in front of Tang Youyou. One of his arms had been cut off, and blood spurted out. The scene was too horrible to look at.
Tang Youyou screamed non - stop. She hugged Yue Fusheng tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She looked at Yue Fusheng in her arms with heartache.
He looked worried and didn't forget to raise his long sword with his other hand, staring at the people in front of him. Among them, there was definitely a group of people who were not sent by the emperor.
"Eunuch Yin really has good tricks. You can bribe the wrong people among the palace servants. If the emperor finds out, what crime will you deserve!"
As soon as she said this, Yin Jianchen, who had not really wanted to kill Tang Youyou before, finally couldn't hold back. He looked up and met Tang Youyou's proud gaze, and sneered, "In that case, none of you need to live any longer."
As his voice fell, the guards who had been somewhat scrupulous before gradually let loose. Their eyes were filled with excitement, as if they were looking at a dying man.
But just as these people were about to make a move, a voice came from behind them.
As everyone fell silent, they quietly watched the person walking from afar.
Rong Xun walked through the crowd and came in front of Tang Youyou. Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, he showed no surprise at all. He looked at Tang Youyou with cold eyes, and there was only a chill in his eyes.
"Why did you run away?"
Facing Rong Xun's suspicion, Tang Youyou couldn't reply. She looked at Yue Fusheng, who was still in pain, and finally gave in.
"Rong Xun, I beg you. Can you spare Yue Fusheng? I don't understand why you are targeting him like this. Spare his life."
Seeing that Tang Youyou was still pleading non - stop, in his eyes, this was more like a provocation and a betrayal.
Rong Xun had a charming smile on his lips. His anger had made the air around him turn colder. He sneered, "Now, has he already bewitched you like this?"
Tang Youyou was confused when she heard this. She didn't understand why Rong Xun would say such a thing.
"It's not a matter of being bewitched. I just don't want to involve irrelevant people. If there's anything, let's solve it properly. Don't hurt others."
However, at this moment, Rong Xun had a kind of extremely charming and sickly feeling. A blood - thirsty smile appeared on his already good - looking face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. It was obvious that he was probably so angry that he laughed.
While analyzing, Tang Youyou carefully bandaged Yue Fusheng in her arms. This scene was extremely annoying in Rong Xun's eyes.
Rong Xun said, "What did you use to bandage him?"
His voice was irresistible, and Tang Youyou couldn't help but tell the truth, "I tore it from my skirt."
At this moment, although it was midsummer, everyone was shivering with fear. The king of hell was about to lose his temper. Who wasn't afraid in their hearts?
This person who threatened their lives every day. Anyone would be worried about life and death.
But Tang Youyou could always accurately predict and step on Rong Xun's explosive point every time.
Rong Xun took a deep breath, glanced at the people beside him, and said coldly, "Return to the palace."
At this moment, the people who were about to make a move had no choice but to stop.
When Tang Youyou returned to the palace again, looking at the familiar scenes in the palace, her heart was filled with indescribable sadness. After all the back - and - forth, she still came back in the end.
Seeing Tang Youyou looking so bitter, Rong Xun didn't blame her. After all, he had finally brought her back. A few people came to the Xingzheng Hall together.
He glanced at Yue Fusheng, who was covered in blood, and then saw Tang Youyou's determined face. Then he called the imperial physician to treat Yue Fusheng.
Rong Xun looked up at her and asked in a tone that was hard to detect any emotion, "Why did you leave the palace, and why did you take the people beside you with you?"
Hearing what Rong Xun said, she could understand the first half of the sentence, but the second half left her confused. How was this related to Yue Fusheng?
"Yue Fusheng was just someone I met on the road. He was afraid that I would be in danger when I went out, so he followed me."
Tang Youyou's simple explanation eased the knot in Rong Xun's heart a lot. At this moment, he didn't know what to say to Tang Youyou.
"Go back to the Qingliang Hall. You are confined for a month to reflect on your mistakes."
Rong Xun's words were full of helplessness. Facing Tang Youyou, he didn't know whether to beat or scold her.
The imperial physician at the door saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, so he carefully tiptoed over and walked step by step towards Rong Xun.
"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be in good health."
Hearing this, Rong Xun waved his hand and pointed at Yue Fusheng with his big finger wearing the Buddhist beads, indicating for him to be treated.
The eunuch immediately walked towards him. They saw that Yue Fusheng's wound had already suppurated. If it wasn't treated in time, he might be in danger of losing his life.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became strange. Tang Youyou stood still, not knowing why things had turned out like this. Rong Xun felt mixed emotions in his heart and was determined to find out whether what Tang Youyou said was true or false.
The imperial physician clicked his tongue as he looked at Yue Fusheng, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Seeing the imperial physician busy and flustered, Tang Youyou felt even more guilty. She said, "Imperial physician, how is this person?"
