"Your Majesty the Queen, His Majesty has ordered us servants to place the food on the couch so that it will be convenient for Your Majesty to eat."
Looking at these young maids blushing one by one, she more or less knew what Rong Xun had told them.
She really wanted to give Rong Xun a big slap in the face.
After he had taken advantage of her, he even made it public.
She was really speechless!
However, looking at the table full of delicious delicacies, her stomach had already started growling uncontrollably. In just a short while, she had devoured most of the food on the table like a whirlwind.
It seemed that sexual intercourse was really a strenuous activity.
But when she thought of Yue Fusheng, who was still suffering, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. For some reason, she always felt that this incident was all her fault.
If she hadn't arbitrarily changed all the events in the plot, Yue Fusheng wouldn't have been injured, let alone be on the verge of death because of her.
Thinking of this, tears glistened in Tang Youyou's eyes. She didn't know what she should do in this situation to save Yue Fusheng.
At the same time, the main door of the distant palace hall was opened again. This time, it was another friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
Today, Wen Ruxue was wearing a red dress. On closer inspection, this dress was about 80% similar to the ones she usually wore.
When did this woman stop being a scheming bitch and start imitating her style?
This was really strange.
While she was deep in thought, Wen Ruxue was already burning with jealousy in her heart. If she had done such a thing, Rong Xun would never have gone to such great lengths.
But she just couldn't understand why Tang Youyou could enjoy such treatment. What right did she have to rise to power?
Clearly, it was Tang Youyou who was unchaste, who had eloped with someone, and who had endured all kinds of bad things from Rong Xun. How could she be protected by Rong Xun again and again?
"Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty the Queen."
Seeing the scheming bitch return, Tang Youyou's face showed obvious disgust.
However, she still needed to fulfill her role as the queen.
She said gently and gracefully, "Sister, you've come all the way to the palace hall. What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruxue was slightly stunned. She didn't even know why she had come here. She had just been so angry that she wanted to come and see Tang Youyou's face.
But now, it seemed that Rong Xun had already forgiven Tang Youyou.
Thinking of this, the jealousy in her heart was clearly written on her face. Her ferocious facial features made her once-beautiful appearance look terrifying.
Tang Youyou knew that this woman must have come to check if she had been executed. Unfortunately for her, she had miscalculated this time.
And she remembered the group of assassins they had encountered with Yue Fusheng a few days ago. They were different from the people in the palace. Instead, they were more like mercenaries.
What were mercenaries? It was very simple. They were people who were hired to kill for money. In this palace, there were only three people who could do such a thing.
Among the concubines in the palace, the only one with such courage and scheming was probably Su Nian'e, but it was more likely to be this scheming bitch.
Wen Ruxue pondered for a while. Her facial expressions changed constantly, which was quite a spectacle.
Finally, she managed to blurt out a sentence, "Your Majesty the Queen, your humble servant just thought that Your Majesty has been working so hard every day, so I was anxious to come and see if Your Majesty's body is in good condition, lest Your Majesty gets injured and has no one to take care of you."
So, she had come all the way here just to pay her respects.
If this got out, it would surely make people laugh their heads off.
Tang Youyou rarely burst out laughing. Looking at the defeated Wen Ruxue, she said, "Then I really appreciate your kind concern, sister. Do you know that pink doesn't suit you?"
Tang Youyou glanced at the dress on her. The main color of this dress was bright red, but it was complemented by pink.
Being told this, Wen Ruxue immediately frowned, but still politely asked, "What does Your Majesty the Queen mean by this?"
Tang Youyou said coldly, "Pink is a delicate color. How old are you now?"
Yes, she had never known that Wen Ruxue was actually 28 years old. In the harem, she was considered the oldest.
If she hadn't heard the rumors, she might really have been deceived by her appearance and dressing style.
And what she had just said was like stabbing a knife into Wen Ruxue's heart. Age and background were the things she couldn't accept the most, so she naturally didn't like others pointing fingers at them.
Tang Youyou had accurately stepped on her landmine. But after all, she was the queen, and no matter what, Wen Ruxue was just a concubine.
She was completely helpless against Tang Youyou.
"Your Majesty the Queen is right. Your humble servant will remember Your Majesty's instructions. Your humble servant still has some things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Go, go."
Tang Youyou couldn't wait for this woman to fly out of the palace hall immediately. Her presence here was just annoying her.
Wait, something wasn't right. This woman seemed to be a "malleable talent". If she could make good use of her, maybe she could "achieve great things".
But this woman had already left. She'd have to wait until she could get out of bed and go back before thinking about it.
Then, after a hearty meal, Tang Youyou half - lay on the couch, put her hands behind her head, and started to think deeply again.
She really wanted to return to her own world, but when she thought of Rong Xun's face, she felt both love and fear. She never thought that one day she would be attracted to a man.
What exactly was this feeling?
She had no idea.
But right now, there was one more very important thing.
Sleep!
After a series of belches, there came a steady snoring sound.
The maids in the palace hall were shocked by it. Tang Youyou actually slept until the afternoon. When she woke up again, she saw an extra person beside her.
Rong Xun was staring straight into her eyes. Seeing that she had woken up, he strode over.
"Since you're awake, it's time to eat. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. I saw that you were sleeping soundly at noon, so I didn't wake you up."
Tang Youyou was still drowsy, but the next moment, she was easily picked up by Rong Xun again.
By the time she was fully awake, she was already sitting on a chair.
The dinner dishes were basically full of bright red chili peppers, different from the light and bland breakfast.
However, when Tang Youyou picked up her chopsticks, she noticed that Rong Xun didn't move his.
She asked curiously, "Eat. Why aren't you eating?"
Her urging was seen as concern by Rong Xun. Rong Xun nodded silently, picked up a piece of spicy meat with red chilies, and put it into his mouth.
He showed no expression at all, which left Tang Youyou stunned.
"Are you okay?"
