When Tang Youyou finally calmed down again, the few people around her could finally relax. They carefully lowered the curtain and slowly approached her step by step. But just as their hands were about to touch her, they froze once more.
A tall and lean figure appeared at the door at some unknown time. Looking along the figure, the person was dressed in military uniform. It was none other than General Yu from earlier that day.
Tang Youyou recognized him at a glance. It was Rong Xun, who had been missing for a long time.
It really had been a long time!
At this moment, Tang Youyou didn't even care about the people she had beaten to a pulp. Her eyes were fixed firmly on Rong Xun. The man who had left so coldly back then had unexpectedly reappeared.
The Rong Xun in front of her was as capable as ever. After just a few rounds, he had taken care of the people in front of him.
These people fell to the ground, clutching their heads and screaming in pain.
Seeing them quiet down, Rong Xun walked over to Tang Youyou and looked down at her from above.
"Who are you?"
Tang Youyou looked at the man in front of her. She didn't know if he was really confused or just pretending. She sneered and said, "Your Majesty, may you enjoy eternal peace!"
There was a hint of anger in her words. Rong Xun wasn't stupid and could naturally tell that there was more to her words than met the ear.
His cold eyes were filled with confusion. As he looked at Tang Youyou, he said coldly, "Have I ever met you? Or have I ever offended you?"
When Rong Xun said the second half of the sentence, his words were full of threat, leaving no room for Tang Youyou to deny.
But Tang Youyou replied unhurriedly, "I wouldn't dare to say such a thing. Your Majesty's grace is boundless. How could you have any dealings with a lowly commoner? It's already a blessing I've earned in eight lifetimes to see Your Majesty today."
The flattering words rolled off Tang Youyou's tongue, but to Rong Xun's ears, they sounded sarcastic. Looking at the person in front of him, there was an indescribable smile on her face as she spoke.
It was a smile that seemed more like a forced one.
Hearing this, Rong Xun felt that the person in front of him seemed to be deliberately provoking him, which always made him feel uncomfortable.
"Why did you come here? Everyone who comes to this place is here to fight in the army. With your build, you're probably not one of my soldiers, right?"
Being asked this by Rong Xun, Tang Youyou let out a muffled laugh and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is absolutely right. I'm just here to do odd jobs. I'm currently doing laundry and cooking in the logistics."
She deliberately didn't mention her own affairs. Seeing that Rong Xun was still pretending, she simply didn't say much and just went along with his words.
But after hearing this, Rong Xun slowly nodded and then thought seriously, "From now on, you don't need to do odd jobs in the logistics anymore. Come directly to my military camp."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her right on the head. She was completely speechless.
What on earth was this guy up to? Why had he become like this!
In her anger, Tang Youyou saw many generals walking over from afar. Among them was General Yu, who was looking majestic with a long sword on his back.
General Yu was also looking at Tang Youyou in a daze. Then he saw the frustrated-looking emperor and felt a bit helpless in his heart.
This kid had only been out of his sight for a while, and yet she had caused so much trouble again. She really was not a worry-free child.
General Yu had already seen Tang Youyou's capabilities before, so he naturally wanted to protect her.
But then he thought of what the emperor had just said, which was roughly that he wanted this child to serve him. However, it seemed that this person should be in no danger.
So, he didn't need to worry too much.
Watching Tang Youyou being taken away by these people, General Yu just shook his head.
He looked at the calm emperor in front of him and added another sentence, "Your Majesty, if this child has offended you before, I hope Your Majesty won't take it to heart. This child just doesn't know how to speak properly."
Hearing this, Rong Xun looked at General Yu with a half-smile. General Yu was completely flustered by this look. There seemed to be a hint of indescribable killing intent in Rong Xun's eyes.
This...
Not long ago, there were rumors in the streets that the current emperor seemed to have undergone a great change in his temperament. He was decisive in killing, so during this period, many people had died an untimely death. Most of those people had said things they shouldn't have.
So, at this moment, General Yu was already sweating profusely, feeling as if he was facing a great enemy.
But Rong Xun laughed and said, "I understand everything General Yu said. This child is a good talent, but she still needs to be taught well. Otherwise, who knows what might happen in the future."
Rong Xun's words left General Yu speechless. He naturally understood that Tang Youyou was probably in for a rough time today.
After that, these people took Tang Youyou to where Rong Xun was.
Looking at the environment here, in this luxurious tent, the furnishings were no different from those in the palace.
This guy really knew how to enjoy himself.
Tang Youyou also saw the wine cup on Rong Xun's table. It was made of purple clay, but strangely, the wall of the cup was faintly black.
Just as she was about to pick it up to take a closer look, she was immediately interrupted by someone behind her.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you touch things in His Majesty's residence? Aren't you afraid of death?"
A shrill voice came from behind. Tang Youyou turned around and saw that the girl was looking domineering. She pointed at Tang Youyou and scolded her.
Seeing that Tang Youyou didn't say a word, the maid thought she was scared and started chattering again.
"This is His Majesty's residence. You, a lowly commoner, have no right to touch anything. No matter who you are today, if you come here and break the rules, then you'd better leave quickly. This is not a place for someone like you to stay."
After saying that, Tang Youyou didn't say a word. She picked up her luggage and was about to leave.
She was just hoping for such an opportunity. It was just that this brainless maid was still bossing her around here. Well, sorry about that, little sister.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou quickly prepared to lift the curtain. But just at this moment, a person walked in right in front of her at the door. Coincidentally, it was Rong Xun!
She really was the unluckiest person in the world. She couldn't even leave in peace.
Seeing Rong Xun looking straight at her, Tang Youyou couldn't help but feel nervous. She deliberately avoided his gaze. Just then, the maid behind her spoke again, stealing all the limelight.
"Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, just now your humble servant saw this person sneaking into your tent and secretly looking at something here. She clearly has sticky fingers."
