Su Ningde worriedly asked, "General, is this person still alive?"
The general was stunned for a long while before slowly saying, "Yes, she's alive. But the problem is that she won't wake up."
Both of them were puzzled for quite some time because Tang Youyou was in a deep slumber. They didn't know that this girl had been busy all night for those clothes. Anyone would be exhausted like this.
Moreover, Tang Youyou was a heavy sleeper. Even if the sky were to fall, she might not wake up.
Seeing Su Ningde anxiously pacing back and forth, the general suggested, "If you're in a hurry, Your Excellency, I'll have her carried over with the quilt. In this way, you can complete your task and give an account to the emperor."
Hearing this, Su Ningde immediately nodded in agreement. "That's great. If so, I'll have to trouble the general."
"It's nothing. We're all serving the emperor."
After saying that, the general called two soldiers. They lifted Tang Youyou up in the air. Tang Youyou, lying on the cushion and covered with the quilt, was still sleeping soundly.
This scene made the passing soldiers and captives burst into laughter.
They had lived for so long, but it was the first time they had seen such a strange thing.
Tang Youyou in her dream didn't know that after today, she would become famous throughout the military camp.
In a short while, Tang Youyou was carried into Rong Xun's tent. But at this moment, Rong Xun was still in the training camp and not here.
After the general put her down, he was about to leave. And Su Ningde, in order to avoid another scolding from Rong Xun, also had to leave quickly.
For a moment, in the huge tent, there was only Tang Youyou, lying on the ground of the main hall, snoring loudly.
When Rong Xun returned, it was already night. Dragging his tired body, he walked into the tent and saw a curled-up object on the ground.
Rong Xun instinctively drew his sword and approached. It was only under the candlelight that he recognized the face of this person.
Good! No matter how he called her, she didn't come. She had disappeared for a whole day and finally fell asleep in his main hall!
At this moment, Rong Xun was furious. He looked at Tang Youyou coldly and gently kicked her on the buttocks.
This kick only used one-tenth of his strength, neither too light nor too heavy.
Feeling the pain from behind, Tang Youyou slowly woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around blankly, as if she didn't know where she was.
"Awake?"
The next moment, she heard a cold voice behind her.
Tang Youyou instantly woke up. She was in Rong Xun's place. Then she looked down and saw that not only was she in his place, but she had also fallen asleep here.
What a strange plot! How could this be!
Wasn't she on the lawn just now...
For a moment, she seemed to remember that she had been carried here by someone just now.
Su Ningde, you're really so straightforward. You don't know how to be tactful at all when doing things.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou slowly turned around and saw Rong Xun with a livid face behind her. She knew that this person was extremely angry.
"May the emperor be in good health."
As she said this, she didn't forget to squeeze out a smile. Looking at the person in front of her, she then said, "I wonder what the emperor wants this humble scholar to do?"
Seeing Tang Youyou trying to change the subject, Rong Xun wasn't too angry. He sneered and said, "I borrowed some Tibetan books from the Western Regions the other day. I want to keep some in the palace. So I called you here to copy some documents."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou became interested. She looked at the mattress and quilt under her body and smiled. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. These things will definitely be done well by this commoner. This commoner is physically disabled but mentally strong. Even though I'm prone to sleepiness, I'm not afraid. Isn't this why I've brought all the things for sleeping?"
At this point, Tang Youyou almost believed her own words. Seeing the person in front of her expressionless, she quickly said, "Your Majesty, then please tell me where the things that you need this commoner to copy are?"
"This commoner will go and copy the books right away."
Hearing this, Rong Xun glanced at the stack of books piled up like a small hill in the distance. "Over there. That whole stack of books needs to be copied by you. Each book needs to be copied three times."
Looking in the direction Rong Xun pointed, there were actually more than twenty books over there. Even if she were asked to copy each book once, it would be impossible!
But looking at Rong Xun in front of her, she saw that there was no expression on his face at all, as if he was silently saying that if you don't write today, you won't see the rising sun tomorrow.
So, Tang Youyou had to come to the pile of books. With great difficulty, she carried the books over. Just as she had carried them over, she saw that there was a small table beside Rong Xun's desk.
On this small table, there was only a writing brush and an inkstone.
Seeing Tang Youyou come over, Rong Xun coldly said, "You copy beside me. I'd like to see how determined you are."
Seeing this, Tang Youyou could only bury her head and copy hard. But under the candlelight, she saw that the rice paper on the table was blurred.
Then she rubbed her eyes and stared hard at the words. When she started writing, the characters were well - formed, but the further she wrote, the more the words looked like the crawling of ants.
Rong Xun, on one side, was reviewing the memorials in his hand while quietly looking at Tang Youyou's serious appearance. Even though his memory reminded him to stay away from the person in front of him, he still didn't want to leave.
He always felt that the arrival of this person seemed to fill the void in his heart that had been there for a long time.
Every day, the two of them presented such a scene. The passing soldiers reporting the military situation were all very strange when they saw Tang Youyou copying hard on one side.
But they were fobbed off by Rong Xun with a few words.
These soldiers didn't dare to ask more questions. Even General Yu, who came here to report, was extremely shocked when he saw Tang Youyou dozing off beside the emperor.
This kid had really reached the position of "second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people". So far, he had never seen anyone who could sleep in this position.
Just like this, after two days and three nights, Tang Youyou finally managed to copy these books with great difficulty.
At night, Tang Youyou held her achievements in her hands. She carefully bound these books and presented them on Rong Xun's desk, waiting for Rong Xun to come back from the training camp.
There was full of expectation in her eyes, and even her hands were tightly clenched, full of sweat.
Somehow, she had already been full of expectation for Rong Xun.
And she had a different feeling for Rong Xun. This feeling was different from before. It seemed that there were more memories in the two people's interactions.
As night fell, Rong Xun slowly returned. He was alone.
