All that he had just seen and heard left him utterly perplexed.
The so - called Wine of Fusang first emerged three hundred years ago.
The reason this wine was considered strange was that it was documented in ancient texts.
The Wine of Fusang: A beautiful woman serves as the catalyst for the wine, and her tears are the essence. The more torment the beauty endures, the sweeter the wine becomes. It is through the sacrifice of a beautiful woman that a jar of this world - renowned wine is created.
However, since this wine was made at the cost of a human life, no one dared to drink it anymore. Yet, just now, Tang Youyou had gulped down a large amount of it.
And she got drunk!
The old man was completely speechless. Facing such a girl, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The two were led to the Good Diet Chamber. With great difficulty, they laid Tang Youyou on the bed. Before they could catch their breath, the seemingly drunk Tang Youyou suddenly sat up.
She looked at the old man, then turned her head and spat out the wine in her mouth.
Immediately after, she grabbed the handkerchief in the room, wiped her mouth, and then rinsed with disgust.
"Did you two get a clear look at the people at the door?"
The old man was shocked by Tang Youyou's actions, while Ye Yue calmly replied,
"There were two people at the door, four at the main entrance, and six on the beams. Their martial arts skills are inferior to mine."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou cast an appreciative look at Ye Yue.
"Good. So, do you have the ability to get us out of here?"
Ye Yue fell silent and then shook his head. "No. I can only leave on my own. If I were to take two people who don't know any martial arts, I'm afraid in the end..."
Ye Yue's concerns were exactly what Tang Youyou was worried about. At this moment, Tang Youyou just hoped that the two of them could go back first, and then she would figure out a way to escape on her own.
If all three of them were trapped here because of her, it would be a great loss.
After a while, a voice came from the courtyard.
The next moment, the guards at the door of the Good Diet Chamber also spoke up.
"Your subordinates welcome His Highness the Han King."
Rong Jiangyu waved his hand, signaling them to step back.
Then he strode in, looking at Tang Youyou inside. Rong Jiangyu wore a gentle smile as he walked in calmly.
He glanced at Ye Yue. "How is Young Master Tang's health?"
By now, Tang Youyou had already lain back on the couch and was quietly looking at Rong Jiangyu in front of her.
"I'm feeling much better now. But may I ask what brings you here?"
Rong Jiangyu was unhurried, showing no trace of panic in his eyes. "Of course, I'm here to check on you all and make sure you haven't suffered any unnecessary harm."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou found it even more ironic. Didn't he think she was a fool?
"I haven't suffered any harm, but there is a hooligan around."
As she said this, Tang Youyou casually glanced at Rong Jiangyu in front of her. Rong Jiangyu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "The Western Regions have been rather unstable recently. So, you all should stay in the palace for the time being. I'll let you leave when the time is right."
Rong Jiangyu's words left no room for negotiation. He didn't give Tang Youyou and the others any choice.
And all this was exactly what Tang Youyou had expected.
Ye Yue, who had a different thought from Tang Youyou, was puzzled. The thing he was worried about had finally happened. Rong Jiangyu was just using the pretext of being good to Tang Youyou to imprison her.
Tang Youyou might be in great danger this time.
However, Tang Youyou herself remained calm, with a grateful smile on her face. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know where to go."
Tang Youyou's words instantly pleased Rong Jiangyu. He nodded contentedly. What he wanted was for Tang Youyou to stay obediently by his side.
In this way, Rong Xun over there would have something interesting to deal with.
To him, she was something lost and then found, and also an important handle.
Rong Jiangyu raised his hand and gently placed it on Tang Youyou's shoulder. Then he smiled again. "Good. If there's anything you want to eat or use, just tell the servants. They will surely satisfy you."
After saying that, as if there were other matters pressing on him, Rong Jiangyu quickly left.
Tang Youyou then turned her gaze to the soldiers at the door. If it were just ordinary hospitality, these people should have been very relaxed.
But now, these people were wearing swords, and some even carried crossbows.
This was clearly imprisonment!
Tang Youyou sat down at the table helplessly and poured herself a cup of tea. She no longer looked drunk. At this moment, she was very calm.
The old man also sat down beside her, and the words he said shocked her.
"Young Master Tang, do you know why you feel that meeting the old monk is so strange?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was extremely surprised. How did he know that her feeling towards him was different from that towards others?
Every time she saw the old man get hurt, she felt a pain deep in her soul.
This pain was like nails being driven into her heart one after another.
Tang Youyou glanced at Ye Yue in the distance and signaled him to leave first. Ye Yue was very cooperative. Without waiting for Tang Youyou to say more, he turned around and left the room.
The old man took a deep breath and then let it out slowly. For him, he had been holding this secret for a long time.
"Actually, girl, you and I are related."
Girl? Tang Youyou had long known that the old man had seen through her identity and had been covering for her in front of others.
"So, what exactly do you want to say?"
The old man sighed and then blurted out everything in his mind.
"Your mother was from the Wen family. The Wen family was originally a family of medical experts. In a century - long war, the entire Wen family was wiped out, including your mother."
Hearing this news, Tang Youyou was completely shocked.
Her... mother?
"So, why was she killed, and who was the one who secretly struck?"
There was a murderous look in Tang Youyou's cold eyes as she quietly waited for the old man to continue.
The old man said, "She was framed by the powerful Qingyun Sect at that time. She was dedicated to the people, but was eventually deceived and fell into the hands of the Qingyun Sect. The entire Qingyun Sect massacred her family in one day."
At this point, Tang Youyou could no longer contain her emotions. She felt extremely depressed.
