Chapter 171: Rivals Meet

Following the sound, they saw that the person coming was none other than Lin Xiao, who had accompanied Tang Jun to the military camp.

Seeing that everyone present was just staring at each other in silence, he immediately turned his gaze to the person on the bed. This was...

This was actually the person he had admired for so long! And she was a woman!

Lin Xiao looked at Tang Jun beside Tang Youyou in disbelief. He whispered, "Senior, is the young master Tang Jun you've been looking for the one on the bed?"

Hearing this, Old Man Tang nodded without hesitation, but he forgot that Lin Xiao didn't know Tang Youyou's true identity yet.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was at a loss. His idol turned out to be a woman in men's clothing. He had no idea that there could be such a remarkable woman in the world.

Lin Xiao just quietly stayed by Tang Youyou's bedside, ignoring Rong Xun's expression on the other side. He just quietly accompanied her.

Old Man Tang naturally didn't object. Afraid that Rong Xun might have some ill intentions towards Lin Xiao, he even reminded, "Your Majesty, this person is my disciple and also Young Lady You's senior brother. Please understand his eagerness to save people."

After saying that, Old Man Tang walked out leisurely. He also gave Su Ningde a look. Then, the two of them, along with the remaining soldiers, left one after another.

Looking at Su Ningde beside him, his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Old Man Tang sighed with emotion, "Old Su, I never thought that even now you're still by Jun's side. You really don't know how to take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Su Ningde shook his head with a bitter smile. "It all depends on this servant's ability. If I had the ability, I would have left long ago. If not, staying here is my only way out."

Hearing Su Ningde's words, Tang Jun just smiled faintly.

Night fell.

Inside the tent, the lights were bright. The two men in front were taking turns lying beside Tang Youyou's bedside, quietly waiting for her to wake up.

They were afraid that when Tang Youyou woke up, she wouldn't see either of them.

However, there was a warning look in Rong Xun's eyes. He grinned sinisterly while looking at Lin Xiao, who was also staring longingly at Tang Youyou.

"I naturally understand your eagerness to care about your family, but this woman is my wife. I will never let her suffer any grievances. You don't need to stay here. Go and rest."

Rong Xun's words were not only full of warnings but also had a hint of driving him away.

But Lin Xiao was not one to be trifled with. He immediately retorted, "My younger sister was injured while saving Your Majesty. I naturally understand the ins and outs of this matter. So, as You'er's family member, I must take good care of her myself."

But what he didn't know was that Rong Xun had already regarded him as a thorn in his side.

Just as Rong Xun was about to flare up, Tang Youyou happened to wake up at this moment.

Tang Youyou looked at the ceiling and then blankly at the surrounding environment. Everything here seemed so strange. It wasn't until she saw the two flushed men that she was stunned.

"Why are you two here?"

Because Tang Youyou was seriously injured, her voice was hoarse when she spoke.

She asked curiously.

Rong Xun spoke first. "Just now, you were injured. Your... grandfather came to save you. It's just that..."

Rong Xun only said half of his sentence when he saw Tang Youyou frantically touching her belly. She looked at Rong Xun in shock and immediately questioned him, "Where's my child? Where's our child? What did you do with our child!"

"Where's the child!"

Tang Youyou became more and more agitated. She kept touching her belly but still felt nothing. There was only a dull pain in her belly, and she couldn't feel anything else.

It was as if the child had never been in her womb.

Seeing that Rong Xun refused to answer her question, she knew the answer.

Tang Youyou angrily looked outside the tent and shouted, "It's all because of Wen Ruxue, that poisonous woman! It's all because of her that my child is gone!"

Tang Youyou's voice filled the entire tent. Even the soldiers and Old Man Tang outside could hear it clearly, and they felt heartache. They never thought that the queen would become like this because of a child.

This Tang Youyou, in Rong Xun's eyes, for the first time became a real person with flesh and blood. Her eyes were red as she stared fixedly outside the tent.

Then, with all her strength, she grabbed Lin Xiao beside her. She said weakly, "Lin Xiao, go and kill Wen Ruxue. I want her to pay with her life. I want her to never be reincarnated! I want her dead!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's hand trembled slightly. He could see that Tang Youyou was in great pain at the moment. He comforted her, "Your Majesty the Queen, please don't get excited. It's not good for your health. The person who hurt you will surely end up badly. You can rest assured about this."

But hearing Lin Xiao's words, Tang Youyou's breathing became more and more rapid. She even began to gasp for air. At this moment, Rong Xun didn't know when he had come to the head of Tang Youyou's bed.

With a chop of his hand, he made Tang Youyou pass out instantly. He gently laid Tang Youyou on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and his loving gaze slowly moved away from her.

Just as Rong Xun was about to leave, Lin Xiao slowly got up. He said, "Your Majesty, now that the queen has suffered such humiliation, how can you bear to let her endure this? This is the pain of losing a child!"

"Isn't your royal family most concerned about the heir? Now that the heir is gone because of that woman, shouldn't you have her cut into a thousand pieces? Why are you still so indifferent!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Rong Xun didn't say much. He just walked straight out of the tent.

Along the way, he saw many soldiers standing there in a daze. They seemed to have a thousand words to say, but they didn't dare to say a single word.

This matter was fundamentally related to the country. They didn't have the right to comment. As for that once-popular Concubine Wen, it seemed that she was doomed this time.

What she had done this time would surely cost her dearly.

Rong Xun came to an enclosed area. This was the dungeon on the border of the Ming Dynasty.

In this dungeon, all the prisoners were the most heinous criminals. The reason why Wen Ruxue was kept here was just to let her know how deep the sins she had committed were.
