Seeing Tang Youyou looking so serious, Rong Xun still said gently, "Since my little You'er has said so, I'll do everything as you say."
However, the words he had just said had deeply planted a seed in Tang Youyou's heart.
As they were talking, they saw the people from Qingyun Sect enter the palace.
Among them, the leading figure was an old man with white hair. Tang Youyou had never seen him before. Beside him was a woman. This woman was dressed grandly, but when she looked at Tang Youyou, her eyes were full of contempt.
"We commoners pay our respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and prosperous."
Seeing this, Rong Xun said coldly, "Rise."
The old man was the second elder of Qingyun Sect. He had been staying in the medicine garden all year round, constantly researching the properties of herbs with his disciples.
He had come here today only because the first elder had suddenly disappeared, and there was no news about Snow White Princess who was far away in the imperial city.
In order to find out what was going on, they had come from afar.
At this moment, Rong Xun looked serious, completely different from the way he had been talking to Tang Youyou just now.
Although the second elder looked kind, his words were full of pressure. He always thought that Qingyun Sect could rule the roost everywhere.
The woman beside him said with a smiling face, "Your Majesty, I'm the eldest disciple of the second elder. I've come here only because my younger sister came to the Great Ming but hasn't returned yet. I'm worried about her, so I've come to bother Your Majesty."
Seeing that they showed no respect at all, Tang Youyou smiled and said, "The person you're looking for is in the imperial city. She's resting in the Administrative Hall now."
Hearing this, the woman immediately stood up. She pulled the second elder beside her, and then the old man slowly opened his mouth. His voice was full of hoarseness.
"In that case, I'll go and see Miss Xue'er with Ling'er. I'm sure that girl has been causing a lot of trouble here with Your Majesty. I'll go and teach her a lesson and take her back so as not to bother Your Majesty anymore."
After he finished speaking, Tang Youyou raised her right hand and made a "please" gesture. "Elder, you've come a long way to the palace. Even if you see Miss Snow White Princess, don't get angry. Miss White is a gentlewoman. She naturally knows what's right and won't cause any trouble."
Hearing what Tang Youyou said, Rong Xun beside her couldn't help laughing. He really couldn't forget what she had done to Snow White Princess before.
Such a fierce person was now so proficient in flattering. She was really outstanding.
These two people were successfully fascinated by Tang Youyou's flattery. Ling'er glanced at Tang Youyou lightly, and the jealousy in her eyes was almost written on her face.
It had to be said that a woman like Tang Youyou was a rare beauty. Even she couldn't compare with the queen of the Great Ming.
However, such a woman was just a good-for-nothing in her eyes, beautiful but useless.
Thinking of this, Ling'er finally showed a smile. She asked indirectly, "Your Majesty the Queen must be highly skilled to take on the important task of the National Protector Lady, right?"
Facing this person's malicious question, Tang Youyou certainly wouldn't answer directly. She smiled gently and said, "Miss, you're really overestimating me. I'm just a woman. No matter what, I'm just a naive girl in the boudoir. How can I be highly skilled?"
In just a few words, she had simply evaded the question Ling'er had thrown out.
But for the woman in front of her, she always felt that Tang Youyou was hiding something, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
When they came to the Administrative Hall, they saw Snow White Princess dressed in gorgeous clothes. Her bright red dress and delicate makeup made her look even more beautiful than before.
This girl had changed a lot.
In fact, it was the inconspicuous Tang Youyou who had arranged all this. Between these two women, Tang Youyou just wanted to sit back and watch the show.
Ling'er slowly walked up to Snow White Princess. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she frowned and said gently, "Sister Xue'er, when we saw the spiritual butterfly you sent, we thought something had happened to you. We came here specially to see you. Since you're okay, that's good."
But there was clearly a hint of solemnity between her eyebrows. And these words also made the second elder frown. He looked up at Snow White Princess and snorted.
"Your master should have picked you up and returned to Qingyun Sect seven days ago according to the rules. But now she has disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be your second uncle who would come to look for you and take you back."
It could be heard that the relationship between these two people wasn't very good. And according to what the second elder said, the first elder had disappeared for a long time and hadn't been seen yet. Could it be that Rong Xun had really dealt with this person?
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou looked at Rong Xun beside her. He seemed to understand what she was thinking and nodded slightly, confirming her doubts.
Looking at the two people who were close to her, Snow White Princess couldn't say a word. At this moment, two people walked over from a distance. They were pushing a person wrapped in white bandages. The white bandages on this person were stained with red blood. He couldn't move at all, only his chest was slightly rising.
As soon as she saw this person, Snow White Princess felt a tightness in her chest. She looked at Tang Youyou in surprise, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
Ling'er immediately noticed the panic in Snow White Princess's eyes. She saw the two servants push the disabled person to Snow White Princess's side.
Before Tang Youyou could say anything, Ling'er said first, "This person, isn't he the person you said you loved before?"
Hearing this, Snow White Princess nodded reluctantly. "Sister Ling'er, can you help me see if this person can still be saved?"
Ling'er stood there stiffly, looking a bit disgusted. She asked coldly, "Who is he?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou said, "He's the crown prince of the palace. He was secretly attacked by someone a few days ago. No one knows why he suddenly became like this overnight. I don't know if this person can still be saved."
Snow White Princess blinked her eyes, looked at Tang Youyou, and then lowered her head silently.
Tang Youyou certainly knew what this person was thinking. She just wanted to confirm whether this poison could be cured and also wanted to verify whether she really had to rely on Tang Youyou.
And now Tang Youyou had spoken first just to follow her wishes. More importantly, she wanted her to completely give up hope.
For such a person, it was better for her to say the ugly words first and do the cruel things in advance.
People who were selfish in their hearts were the easiest to control. Because once such people had their weak points grasped, they would be very afraid of death and wouldn't betray anyone.
Hearing that this person was the crown prince of the palace, Ling'er put away her disgusted expression and looked at the second elder beside her.
