Hearing this, Tang Youyou looked back and saw Rong Jiangyu dressed in a golden dragon robe. He was just as luxurious as Rong Xun in the Ming Dynasty.
She even once thought whether these two were really brothers. They were both insanely wealthy and regarded gold, silver, and jewels as dung.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. It's just a hobby of mine. Not worth mentioning," Tang Youyou said modestly.
Seeing her modesty, a hint of sinister glint flashed in Rong Jiangyu's good - looking eyes.
"I've recently heard that you, Young Master Tang, have been practicing medical skills in the Imperial Dietetic Institute."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou shuddered. She forced a smile and looked warily at Rong Jiangyu in front of her.
"I'm just bored. If Your Majesty could let me leave, I might abandon my studies and leave tomorrow."
Rong Jiangyu didn't ask further. He just said a few words of concern before leaving.
"If Brother Tang is fond of medical skills, I'd like to lend you the precious medical classics in the library."
Upon hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded repeatedly. Although she didn't know why this man was helping her, she really needed these precious books at the moment.
"If so, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I'll accept your offer."
While they were talking, Ye Yue silently remembered every move they made.
That night, a dark shadow slipped out of the Western Region Palace. Ye Yue used his light - footed kung fu and soon arrived at Rong Xun's palace.
As soon as he landed on the ground outside Rong Xun's window, the person inside immediately stopped writing. Rong Xun looked out of the window, and his cold voice filled the entire Administrative Hall.
"Come in."
Hearing this, Ye Yue outside immediately climbed in through the window. Looking at the serious - looking Rong Xun, he knelt on one knee.
"Your subordinate pays respects to the Emperor."
As Ye Yue finished speaking, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
"How's the matter going?" Rong Xun asked.
Ye Yue replied, "Rong Jiangyu killed the king and seized the throne. The Empress is being imprisoned in the Western Region Palace. She's using the books in Rong Jiangyu's library to learn medical skills. It seems that the Empress quite likes the Western Region Palace."
As he spoke, he nervously counted his fingers. Looking down, he seemed to see the killing intent in Rong Xun's eyes.
Then, a mocking laugh, like a harsh bell toll, rang in his ears. This man was like a ghost king from the underworld, extremely terrifying.
Rong Xun opened his good - looking eyes and glanced casually at Ye Yue kneeling on the ground. His pleasant voice, with a bewitching power, penetrated Ye Yue's mind.
"She likes the Western Region Palace?"
Rong Xun asked.
Ye Yue quickly nodded, "Yes!"
"Then let my little You'er play there for a while longer. By the way, since little You'er likes medical skills, you go and fetch a few good books and send them to her."
Hearing this, Ye Yue didn't dare to be negligent and was about to leave. But just as he was about to go, the terrifying and demonic voice behind him came again.
"By the way, if that brat still has any ill intentions, I don't mind you cutting off his hands."
After saying that, Ye Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the Administrative Hall. Before he left, he seemed to see a demonic smile on Rong Xun's handsome face.
He shivered.
This devil was really terrifying. Having such a person as his master was simply a nightmare!
However, he was still his master after all. He didn't expect that such a shabby palace like Rong Jiangyu's could make their Empress like it so much. This was really...
Thinking of this, he quickly used his light - footed kung fu and returned to the Western Region Palace.
Seeing that the lights in Tang Youyou's room in the Imperial Dietetic Institute were out, Ye Yue felt relieved.
As long as this little ancestor didn't cause any trouble, everything would be fine!
However, he didn't expect that there was no one in the room at all. And the person sleeping in the quilt on the bed was not Tang Youyou, but just the pillow she usually hugged.
At this moment, Tang Youyou was lying on the beam of the house. She carefully avoided many people and came to the most important place in the Western Region Palace, the library.
However, there was a drawback to this library. There were too few guards.
The guards standing at the door were all dozing off. Tang Youyou took out a paper - wrapped packet from her bosom, carefully unwrapped the paper, and gently blew out the purple powder inside.
In the gentle breeze, the powder quickly filled the area around the library.
In an instant, the guards who were dozing off and struggling to stay awake all fell to the ground motionless as if they were in a trance.
"I've succeeded!" Tang Youyou whispered excitedly.
Then, she jumped down and came to the door of the library. Looking at the sleeping guards on the ground, she casually kicked one of them and pulled out the key from his body.
After opening the library, she saw that the place was filled with books. The books were stacked very high, and the place was brightly lit, which was quite convenient for her.
Tang Youyou walked to one side and saw a pile of books in front of her, neatly placed. It seemed that these were the most valuable books in the library.
Tang Youyou casually opened one of the books and saw that it clearly showed the human skeleton. What was more, it was depicted in great detail.
It was even more detailed than what she had seen in modern times.
"The Nine - Silver Acupuncture"
This book was good. She'd take it back!
Then, Tang Youyou looked at a few other books and took back all the good ones.
Finally, she managed to return to her residence. But she saw that her courtyard was full of people. The whole courtyard was filled with noise. They were talking and pointing at her house.
Realizing that something was wrong, Tang Youyou quickly climbed in through the window. She carefully hid the stolen books and then lay on the bed pretending to be dead.
Hearing the noise outside getting louder, Tang Youyou pretended to have just woken up. She walked out unsteadily with a sleepy face and opened the door.
When the people outside saw Tang Youyou, their voices suddenly stopped.
These people were all royal relatives and nobles. What did they want from her? Tang Youyou rubbed her head while thinking.
"Have you all come to the wrong place?"
Hearing this, the leading official among them looked serious. He thought for a while and then slowly said, "Imperial Censor Tang, if you don't mind, my daughter has been living in seclusion at home. She's proficient in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, and is extremely beautiful. I've come here to propose marriage on her behalf. I hope you won't refuse."
Refuse?
