Looking at Granny Xuan in front of her, who was looking at her seriously.
"Granny Xuan will surely help you. As for what you've mentioned, this old one doesn't know about it. But if it's something you ask for, this old one will surely be able to do it."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded. "In that case, it's a blessing for this junior."
Now that she had Granny Xuan's support, Tang Youyou had nothing to worry about. Looking at the people coming and going in the Rouge Workshop, she fell into silence.
The next day, Su Jin successfully ascended the throne and announced it to the world.
Surprisingly, on the day of his ascension, this emperor bestowed a Grand Empress Dowager's Mansion on Tang Youyou.
The Grand Empress Dowager's Mansion was extremely luxurious, located in a prime area. Even the bathing pool was made of emerald. All the good things were placed there.
In the eyes of outsiders, this newly - enthroned emperor was a filial and good emperor, while she, Tang Youyou, had become the object of criticism, a person known for her extravagance and decadence.
Such a person, even in a prosperous era, would become the target of public disputes and insults. In a prosperous age, people most feared extravagance. If this prosperous era declined, then Tang Youyou would be the sinner of this prosperous era. Even being sliced into a thousand pieces would be too light a punishment.
However, Tang Youyou was not afraid of such things. Knowing there was a pit of fire, she would jump right in. If she didn't, it wouldn't be in line with her way of dealing with things.
Looking at the little eunuch sent by the emperor above, who casually placed the imperial edict in Tang Youyou's hand without saying a single extra word, then turned around and left.
She took the heavy imperial edict and turned to look at the people in the Rouge Workshop behind her, showing a smile.
"Granny Xuan, Old Tang, let's pack up our things and get ready to move. We're going to live in a comfortable place."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was clear enough for the onlookers around to hear.
Suddenly, the murmur of discussions boiled over again.
The smile on Tang Youyou's face deepened. She didn't hide anything from anyone because the people above had simply left her with no way out.
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, Granny Xuan immediately understood. She grabbed Old Tang, who was still in a daze behind her.
She said proudly, "Since Little You'er has said so, let's go with her and enjoy a comfortable life."
Hearing this, Old Tang was completely confused. Looking at the people in front of him, he was utterly bewildered.
"What are you talking about?"
As soon as he said this, he was met with Granny Xuan's death glare. Seeing this, he quickly swallowed back the second half of the sentence he wanted to say.
"Alright, alright. Since you've already made this decision, of course I have no other opinions. Even if I did..."
Once they arrived at the Grand Empress Dowager's Mansion, they saw that it was resplendent inside, with pavilions and towers that were truly luxurious.
This was the life Tang Youyou had always dreamed of. It was even more luxurious than the Cool Palace. Even the toilet was inlaid with gold.
Truly, comparing people could be so shocking.
When Old Tang saw this scene, he immediately rushed towards the pool, jumped in with a splash, and the few of them couldn't help but laugh.
"Your grandfather has this naughty old - child personality. He's not as steady as your father. But it's not easy for them to have raised you safely."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou asked curiously, "Granny Xuan, does this mean you know something about this junior's background?"
"Your background? Isn't it just those past things?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou didn't say anything more.
She walked into the luxurious room and looked at the gold and jewels inside, but she wasn't excited at all. She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
The next day, a ragged man appeared at the gate of the Grand Empress Dowager's Mansion for some unknown reason.
This man was unkempt, his face as pale as paper. He looked as if a gentle breeze could blow him down.
Qingyu saw this man and frowned worriedly. "Young man, do you need any help?"
After she finished speaking, the man slowly raised his head. His facial features were sunken, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. He said weakly, "Good sister, give me something to eat. I'm about to die."
Hearing this, Qingyu quickly served out the sumptuous delicacies from the mansion. As soon as she served them out, the man began to gobble them up.
After a hearty meal, he looked up at Qingyu. "Is the Empress Dowager inside?"
Hearing this, Qingyu nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
"I want to see her!" With that, he quickly got up from the ground and shouted that he wanted to rush into the Grand Empress Dowager's Mansion.
Seeing this, Qingyu quickly called for people, fearing that this hungry man would do something stupid.
Kang Fuhai heard the commotion outside and walked out in a hurry. Looking at the man in front of him, he stood still.
He had served so many empresses in the palace that he naturally recognized the man in front of him as Xu Mo, the son of the court official Xu Songming.
"Master Xu Mo!" he blurted out.
Hearing someone call his name, Xu Mo quickly looked up at Kang Fuhai. "Do you... know where the Empress Dowager is? This young master knows the current whereabouts of the emperor and has to tell her."
Hearing this, Kang Fuhai frowned. This was something that many people didn't know, yet this playboy knew it.
"Is what Master Xu Mo said true?"
"Of course. Please trouble the eunuch to inform her. As for the rest, this young master has a plan in mind."
Before the two of them could finish their conversation, the people inside had slowly walked out. Looking at Xu Mo in such a sorry state, surprise flashed in Tang Youyou's eyes.
However, this look disappeared in a flash.
"Master Xu Mo, come in and talk."
Hearing this, Xu Mo suddenly felt a chill down his back. He actually felt the same kind of imposing manner from Tang Youyou as he did from Rong Xun.
Truly... two devils together.
"Okay."
In the luxurious main hall, he sat upright. As he looked at Tang Youyou, he noticed that she was sizing him up.
"Empress Dowager, the emperor is seriously injured now and has returned to his clan. He may not be able to attend to the affairs of the Great Ming Kingdom in the future."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou's hand that was about to pick up the teacup paused slightly. She looked at the man in front of her and squinted her eyes slightly.
"Oh? I wonder how the young master came to know this, and why you had to come here in such a state to see this empress?"
Looking at Xu Mo's foolish look, the credibility of his words didn't seem very high.
Hearing this, Xu Mo immediately stood up and looked at Tang Youyou seriously, angrily saying, "This is something he wrote for you. If it weren't for the emperor's personal instruction, this young master wouldn't have endured poverty and come here!"
