Tang Youyou also understood that for Tang Jun, she was merely an heir and an emotional sustenance for his longing for family.
However, since he had saved her life, she would recognize this grandfather.
At night, the sky was dotted with twinkling stars, looking extremely beautiful.
Tang Youyou sat alone in the courtyard. She looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, but when she lowered her head, there was only her own reflection.
Her abdomen was slightly bulging, though it wasn't very noticeable.
She gently placed her delicate hand on her abdomen and whispered softly and tenderly to herself, "Little one, it's really a pity for you to have a mother like me."
Tang Youyou was well - aware of her own misfortunes, but there was nothing she could do to change the situation.
She stayed awake all night. The next day, with two big dark circles under her eyes, Tang Youyou walked towards the courtyard.
At the same time, Rong Jiangyu, who had just returned from the morning court, was hurrying towards Tang Youyou. Seeing her staggering appearance, Rong Jiangyu gave a gentle smile.
"Brother Tang, did you not sleep well last night?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded subconsciously and then shook her head.
"No, Your Highness the King of Han is over - worrying. The place where Your Highness lives is naturally good. It's just that I'm not acclimated to the local environment."
What she really meant was that she couldn't stand staying in this place any longer.
But the man in front of her just pretended to be stupid. With his intelligent eyes, he said something really thoughtless.
"According to what you said, I should have someone bring more food from the Ming Dynasty. It's my negligence. I've made Brother Tang suffer."
Tang Youyou knew that this man was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she didn't know how to talk to him about it.
She could only listen to him beating around the bush while he rambled on about all sorts of nonsense.
Then, Tang Youyou suddenly asked, "Your Highness the King of Han, do you know anything about the Qingyun Sect?"
Hearing this, Rong Jiangyu frowned. Under his mask, the corner of his mouth curled up into a devilish smile.
"When did Brother Tang start to be interested in the Qingyun Sect?"
Tang Youyou said calmly, "I just heard some things, so I thought I'd ask you what kind of place it is."
"The Qingyun Sect is a holy land for learning medicine."
The man stopped halfway through his sentence and fixed his eyes on Tang Youyou. He looked at her from head to toe, as if he wanted to see through her.
He hid his smile well, but when he looked into Tang Youyou's eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashed across his eyes.
"So, in this holy land for learning medicine, there are many sages. Among them, some are the descendants of medical families."
"Those who can get the guidance of the six elders from the six peaks of the Qingyun Sect will have an unimaginable improvement in both knowledge and status."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded quietly.
Rong Jiangyu in front of her looked at her curiously and said softly, "So, are you planning to go there?"
Tang Youyou remained silent.
In the side - room of the courtyard, Old Tang slowly walked out. He glanced at Ye Yue, who had been guarding beside Tang Youyou all the time, and then came to Tang Youyou.
"What are you guys chatting about so early in the morning?"
Tang Youyou just glanced at Old Tang and then blurted out without hesitation, "We're talking about the Qingyun Sect."
Tang Jun looked at Tang Youyou's calm expression, and the stone that had been put down in his heart was lifted up again.
Looking at Tang Youyou in front of him, he felt as if that girl had come back again. They were so alike.
Old Tang sat on the stone bench beside Tang Youyou. "Why are you talking about the Qingyun Sect?"
His deliberate question made Tang Youyou's eyes fall on him involuntarily. Tang Youyou slowly said, "Because of a friend, I want to find out more about that place. I'm afraid, senior, that you haven't been there for a long time."
Tang Youyou was telling the truth, but Old Tang also had his own hardships.
Rong Jiangyu took Tang Youyou's words seriously and joked, "Could it be your lover that you're going to look for?"
Tang Youyou nodded. "Yes. But my wife is introverted and doesn't want to see people, so I have to go and find her."
Hearing this, Rong Jiangyu thought for a moment, and then suddenly had an idea.
"Recently, there will be a group of distinguished guests coming from the Qingyun Sect. They are coming to treat the Khan. For some reason, the Khan has been looking for doctors all over the world."
Hearing what he said, Tang Youyou naturally understood that when a man was about to die, he would grasp at straws.
The Qingyun Sect was a place where everyone was skilled in medicine. If they came, maybe the half - dead Khan could be saved.
Rong Jiangyu then said, "If Brother Tang wants to go to the Qingyun Sect, I can plead on your behalf and ask them to take you there. How about it?"
Tang Youyou immediately clasped his fists and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. "If Your Highness can help me so much, it will be my great honor. I'm extremely grateful."
After saying that, Tang Youyou spoke again.
"I also have one more thing to ask Your Highness."
Seeing that she still had something to ask, Rong Jiangyu was not in a hurry. With a curious look in his eyes, he looked at her calm face. When his eyes fell on the old man beside her, he frowned slightly.
Although the old man was just listening, his eyes were full of worry.
This was not the expression that a listener should have, nor was it the caring look that a subordinate should show.
Rong Jiangyu put away his doubts and looked at Tang Youyou again. "What's the question? Just ask."
Tang Youyou nodded slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, do you know the specific things about the Qingyun Sect?"
Just as her voice fell, a hoarse voice came from afar. The man's eyes were full of terror, and his legs were trembling when he looked at Rong Jiangyu.
It seemed that Rong Jiangyu was a very terrifying figure in other people's eyes.
The hoarse - voiced man walked with small steps towards Rong Jiangyu. With a thud, he knelt down on the ground straightly, with tears in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Khan doesn't have much time left."
But Rong Jiangyu remained calm, or rather, completely unfazed. He looked at the hoarse - voiced man with his good - looking eyes, and at the wounds on his knees that were caused by running all the way. He silently picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Tang Youyou quietly watched the man's every move. She knew very well that the Khan could live for at least half a year. Now, this sudden news seemed unbelievable to her.
Or rather, someone had used some means to shorten his lifespan.
For a lecherous man whose body was poisoned, there was only one way to accelerate the onset of the poison.
