"Make it up to me?"
She said self - deprecatingly, "Do you think your so - called amends mean anything to me? Will it just add to my sense of guilt, or are you hoping I'll forgive you?"
As she spoke, she looked at the weak figure on the couch. She saw him struggling to prop himself up halfway with his hands.
"You'er, I'm... sorry for you, my daughter," he said.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou strode towards the door.
Ye Yue had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as he saw Tang Youyou coming out, he said, "Your Majesty the Queen, the Emperor has agreed to your request. However, the sedan chair will arrive tomorrow."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was not surprised. She nodded and said, "It's okay. Tomorrow will be just the right time."
After that, Tang Youyou returned to her own quarters and stayed awake all night.
The silver moon in the sky cast a cold and lonely light.
Tang Youyou didn't close her eyes until the next day.
Ye Yue was waiting at the door, hunched over, quietly waiting for Tang Youyou to step out.
"Your Majesty the Queen, here are your clothes. At the gate of the sect, the imperial entourage for the Queen sent by the Emperor has already arrived. Please get ready quickly," Ye Yue said, then turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
Tang Youyou took the things handed over. There were a red dress and a phoenix crown on it. The phoenix crown was extremely gorgeous. Tang Youyou carefully put them on.
After dressing up, she stood in front of the bronze mirror and stared quietly at the reflection in it.
Then, she stepped out of the door. This time, dozens of servants were waiting for her at the door. All of them had their heads bowed, waiting for her to get on the sedan chair.
It wasn't until Tang Youyou got on the sedan chair that these servants rushed to follow behind it.
Behind this group of people, there was another person watching silently. An old man stood beside him with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "You'll meet this child again in the future."
Hearing this, Liu Cheng said calmly, "You don't really need to involve yourself in these matters."
"Don't say that. You've been kind to me. Besides, it was your daughter who saved you. You should be happy. You've managed to regain your life. Cherish it."
At the foot of Qingyun Sect, the streets were bustling with people.
Tang Youyou was sitting in the sedan chair, wearing gorgeous clothes and a phoenix crown, with delicate makeup on her face. She quietly looked at the streets outside the sedan chair.
As the sedan chair jolted, she frowned and said coldly, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Hearing this, Ye Yue approached the sedan chair and whispered, "Your Majesty the Queen, they are all from noble families. Because Your Majesty the Queen saved their children, they are extremely grateful and have come to thank you."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded and said, "Tell them to take a less crowded road and return to the palace quickly. Don't attract too much attention."
Hearing the slight anger in Tang Youyou's words, Ye Yue immediately told the bearers to hurry up.
In a short while, the noisy voices finally disappeared.
In one day, Tang Youyou returned to Chang'an City. Looking at the familiar streets and scenes in Chang'an, Tang Youyou subconsciously looked at the rouge shop.
The people inside were still busy. It wasn't until they saw the imperial entourage for the Queen that they stumbled out in a hurry.
Looking at the magnificent Tang Youyou, whose beauty was peerless and amazing to everyone, the red lotus on her forehead made her fair and jade - like face look even more delicate and grand.
Such a high - profile return to the palace made the common people in the streets remember Tang Youyou's face clearly.
The streets were filled with kneeling common people. All of them were looking at Tang Youyou excitedly and saying respectful words.
"Your Majesty the Queen is a paragon of virtue. You are the savior of us common people!"
"Yes. If it weren't for Your Majesty the Queen, I don't know how much suffering my child would have endured in Qingyun Sect. We really owe it all to Your Majesty the Queen!"
Their words were so sincere that Tang Youyou felt a bit uncomfortable.
She opened the curtain and said to Ye Yue, "Stop at the rouge shop later. I have some things to take care of."
Hearing this, Ye Yue replied, "We've already arrived. I was just about to ask Your Majesty the Queen..."
Ye Yue's efficiency was truly remarkable. He knew what she wanted.
"Help me get off the sedan chair," Tang Youyou said.
After her words, a servant knelt on the ground, waiting for Tang Youyou to step on his back to get off. Seeing this, Tang Youyou frowned slightly.
"What's this for?"
Maybe it was because she had never seen the etiquette for the Queen before. She was not used to it at all.
A eunuch walked over. Tang Youyou recognized him at a glance. "Kang Fuhai?"
Hearing Tang Youyou call out his name immediately, he showed a surprised expression and quickly explained, "Your humble servant, Kang Fuhai, pays respects to Your Majesty the Queen. May Your Majesty live long."
But Tang Youyou hated such cumbersome etiquette. She said coldly, "Don't bother with these useless etiquettes in front of me. Tell this kneeling eunuch to get out of my sight. I can get off by myself."
After saying that, she jumped down directly and landed on the ground. Then she patted the dust off her clothes and looked at Qingyu and Yiran kneeling at the door of the rouge shop.
She walked straight up to them and suddenly said, "What's going on? It's only been a few months. You two..."
Hearing this, Yiran looked up at Tang Youyou tremblingly and saw that her eyes were filled with tears.
She patted Qingyu beside her and said in a trembling voice, "Qingyu, look! Your Majesty the Queen has finally come back to see us."
The two of them were crying loudly. But Tang Youyou didn't come here to catch up. She came to take these people back to the palace.
"Now, arrange the matters in the rouge shop properly. Then follow me back to the palace later. We're going to fight a tough battle!"
Hearing this, the two of them immediately turned around and went back into the shop. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they came out again.
"Your Majesty, we're ready," they said.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded. There was a murderous look in her cold eyes as she said coldly, "Set off for the palace!"
Ye Yue, who had witnessed Tang Youyou's fierceness, could already imagine the soon - to - be - dead state of the Western Regions princess just by seeing her expression. Thinking of this, he shivered all over and quickly followed up.
Tang Youyou's return to the palace was meant to strike terror into the enemy.
