This sentence was simply the greatest blow to Xu Mo, who valued his pride.
"Since I've protected your woman for you, you should speak to me more politely. Look at yourself now. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?"
Hearing this, Rong Xun was momentarily speechless. His originally furrowed brows smoothed out.
"So, you have objections to me now?"
Rong Xun glanced at the person in front of him casually, while Xu Mo had his own hardships and couldn't voice them. In the face of absolute authority and power, he chose to keep silent.
Seeing Xu Mo fall silent, Rong Xun half - squinted his eyes. His smile was as warm as the spring sunlight in March, but in the eyes of Xu Mo, who had worked with him for many years, this smile was clearly a malicious one.
He was so scared by Rong Xun that he took several steps back, crossing his hands in front of his chest and wishing he could keep a distance of ten meters from Rong Xun.
Then Rong Xun spoke calmly.
"I need you to do something. Go and investigate the Hidden Machine Pavilion. They dare to provoke trouble again and again. Although You'er can tolerate it, I can't."
Hearing this, Xu Mo's legs went weak from fear. After taking two steps back,
"Yes, I'll obey your order." He bowed respectfully and then left.
Rong Xun, who remained standing there, was silent for a moment before speaking.
His pleasant voice was as melodious as the sound of a zither, but the words he said were like those of the King of Hell pronouncing a death sentence.
"Ye Bai."
A figure in white leaped down from the roof. It was Ye Bai. She stopped in front of Rong Xun. Her peach - blossom eyes were very innocent, but the intense hostility on her body made her originally spiritual face look cold.
"I'm here."
Rong Xun said, "For those who escaped from the Black Forest on Luyang Road, leave none of them alive."
He spoke very calmly. Clearly, it was a matter of silencing witnesses, but he said it so casually, which was completely different from his image in the palace.
Receiving Rong Xun's personal order, Ye Bai tilted her head slightly. She carefully raised her eyes in surprise and saw the determination in Rong Xun's eyes.
"Yes, I'll go and handle it right away."
After saying that, she leaped up and used her light - body skill to move through the streets and alleys.
...
Tang Youyou, walking on the streets of the Western Regions, was looking at the local snacks with great interest. The food here really tasted good.
However, her hands were full of snacks, and she had no free hand to go on a shopping spree.
"Yue Ye, you see..."
As she said this, she turned to look at Yue Ye behind her. All she saw was a small mountain of stacked boxes, but she couldn't see Yue Ye's face behind them.
At this moment, Yue Ye was still struggling to respond, "Young Master Tang, if you have any instructions, just say it."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou finally realized that she had over - shopped today.
"Nothing, nothing. I just want to ask if you've brought enough money. Later, we'll go to the restaurant to rest, and then we'll have to prepare for a long - distance journey."
However, Tang Youyou didn't plan to walk back on her own.
In the Western Regions, most people used camels as mounts. So she actually wanted to bring a camel back. It would be so cool.
But at the moment, they were carrying a lot of things, a dozen or so items in total. Among them, Tang Youyou only had two items in her hands, a bunch of candied haws and a box of osmanthus cakes.
Hearing Tang Youyou's so - called "thoughtful" concern, Yue Ye was extremely happy. He finally waited for such a good thing.
Originally, he thought that the queen must be as domineering and stunning as the queens in the past.
But Tang Youyou only had the latter quality, not the former. She was clearly a useless person who could only survive relying on his master.
The contempt in his heart made Yue Ye even more hateful in his actions. Every time he looked at the gluttonous Tang Youyou, he thought this person was the one who disturbed the emperor's mind and brought disaster to the country.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the restaurant, a woman greeted them. The woman had a flattering smile on her face, which made Tang Youyou frown involuntarily.
Her resistant expression was almost written all over her face, but the woman still kept teasing Tang Youyou.
"Sir, are you here to have fun or to meet someone?"
Tang Youyou said coldly, "I'm here to take a rest. Can you wait for me?"
After saying that, the woman's face instantly turned red from being rebuked by Tang Youyou. She didn't expect that there could be someone in the world who would reject her, and so directly!
The woman nodded awkwardly, and then led Tang Youyou to a private room on the second - floor attic. The room was very tidy.
Tang Youyou strode in, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself two cups of tea. Then she gulped it down.
"Ah, so refreshing!"
Then she saw the woman still standing there stupidly at the door. "What are you still doing here?"
The woman awkwardly showed a smile again. Looking at Tang Youyou, this handsome and energetic young man, she actually felt a little flustered in her heart.
However, she was afraid that she was not worthy of someone like Tang Youyou.
A man's voice came from downstairs. The woman could only lower her head and walk downstairs.
After seeing the woman leave, Tang Youyou casually grabbed the snacks that Yue Ye had placed on the table.
At the same time, two more people walked into the restaurant from the front door downstairs. Coincidentally, they were Rong Jiangyu and Bulun.
The spoiled and arrogant An Suzhi had now changed into the local clothing of the Western Regions. With the jewels in her hair and her heavily - made - up face, she looked like a Western - Regions dancer, extremely charming.
An Suzhi looked around the environment of the restaurant. After a while, she started to click her tongue.
"How can such a shabby restaurant entertain this princess well!"
Hearing this, Bulun was silent for a moment and then sighed, "Suzhi, when you're away from home, don't forget your identity. If others see you like this, they'll use it as a handle to say that you, the princess, are too domineering."
Hearing this, An Suzhi finally restrained herself a little, but her eyebrows were still tightly furrowed. Even when she was sitting on the shabby chair, she felt like sitting on pins and needles.
This expression really made Bulun laugh and cry.
"Just bear with it for a while. We're here to wait for someone."
An Suzhi nodded and said no more.
After a while, a woman walked in through the door. Her eyes scanned the whole restaurant, and finally her gaze stopped on Rong Jiangyu, who was sitting in the hall.
She walked towards Rong Jiangyu. When she reached the table, she slapped the thing in her hand on the table.
It was a secret letter.
"This is from that dog emperor. You handle it yourself."
This woman was An Lingrong, the elder sister of the current emperor of the Western Regions. The elder sister of the Western - Regions emperor had always been at odds with him, and their relationship was like fire and water.
