Just a few dishes, yet they could be so expensive. Isn't this just swindling?
Before Tang Youyou could fly into a rage, Li Yu spoke up again to explain, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, as the noble Empress Dowager, you should know the principle that everything has its price secretly marked, right?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou temporarily suppressed the anger in her chest. Meanwhile, the young girl still strolled around leisurely, showing no sign of fear towards Tang Youyou.
After a while, the girl brought up quite a few scrolls. The ink on these scrolls was still wet. Seeing these things, Tang Youyou looked at Li Yu in confusion.
"What is the shopkeeper doing?"
"These are the dishes you ordered. They're all yours, and only you can open them."
After she finished speaking, Tang Youyou opened the scroll. Looking at the dense words on it, they were actually about the situation on Chang'an Street in recent days, and even some urgent reports from the border areas.
This... This woman actually had such a powerful influence.
Even the emperor sitting on the throne might not receive such information in a timely manner. But in this out - of - the - way place, there was actually such a remarkable person.
No wonder she was the owner of the workshop.
Looking at the content on the scroll, it only mentioned two things, but these two things were exactly what she wanted to know the most. One had to admit that this "dish" was worth the money.
In the Daming Palace, the emperor was fatuous and incompetent, becoming a new King Zhou. And the woman beside him, like Daji, had become a demonic person who brought disaster to the country.
The common people in Chang'an City were suffering. After being tormented by this so - called Daji, they no longer had the patience to serve this emperor.
The people were living in dire straits, and even many people began to call for Tang Youyou to return and take charge of the court.
The popular voice was getting louder and louder, and the crisis on the border was becoming more and more urgent.
The Xia Kingdom had come to the Daming Kingdom many times. After each negotiation with the current emperor, the entire Daming Kingdom would face an unprecedented economic blow.
Now, the Daming Kingdom had no more use value for the Xia Kingdom, so the Xia Kingdom began to repeatedly invade the border of the Daming Kingdom.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou was slightly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu took out another scroll from her waist and placed it in Tang Youyou's hand. She smiled and said, "I see that the young lady is a new customer. This thing is a gift for you."
Taking this thing, there were hundreds of words written on the scroll, and it was actually about the Cang Kingdom.
It seemed that this woman already knew all about her.
Just as Tang Youyou was suspicious, the woman said again, "Don't worry, young lady. I'm just a businesswoman. I don't care about some things, and I don't want to know too much. Otherwise, it will only hurt my head and heart."
Saying this, she picked up the pipe in her hand again, took a deep puff, and then turned around and left.
Carrying these scrolls, Tang Youyou frowned. Ignoring the growling stomachs of the few people, she walked towards the door.
Only to hear Old Man Tang remind her, "Granddaughter, can we believe what that woman said just now?"
Tang Youyou paused slightly in her steps and nodded hesitantly, "Yes."
She believed that such a person didn't have many desires. She seemed to have no wants or longings left.
"It's good that you believe her, granddaughter. If this person can help you, it will be a great thing."
A great thing? Tang Youyou of course understood that whether this place was good or bad just depended on how she made use of it.
In a blink of an eye, the number of people on the street had decreased by half. The few of them bought a lot of food and daily necessities and then returned to the Supreme Court of Judicature.
It was just that everyone was already tired.
At night, everyone returned to their rooms. Rong Xun stayed beside Tang Youyou. Seeing the little girl with a worried face, he gently stroked her face.
"Little You'er, are you still upset because of the girl you met just now?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou didn't answer but just let out a long sigh.
"So what if I am? This girl knows too much. It scares me a bit."
Rong Xun said gently, "Madam is overthinking. That woman is no ordinary person. She is a remnant of the previous dynasty. She only achieved what she has today by relying on the connections she had accumulated behind her."
"Among those who come here, which one doesn't have the idea of making a comeback? So, it's reasonable for her to take this money."
After hearing Rong Xun's advice, Tang Youyou suddenly felt enlightened.
Yes, she was just a remnant and only wanted a place to settle down. Even if Li Yu knew these things, she might not be able to guess what she wanted to do.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou finally opened her heart knot. At the same time, Rong Xun beside her could no longer hold back the itch in his heart. He turned over and pressed Tang Youyou under him.
His gentle and charming voice came into Tang Youyou's ears.
"My lady, I miss you."
...
The two of them stayed up all night. Until the next day, Tang Youyou was lying flat on the couch. Looking at Rong Xun with a naughty smile on his face, she thought he looked extremely charming at this moment.
No wonder he was the man who made her revel.
Rong Xun looked at Tang Youyou with satisfaction and took care of her daily life.
She couldn't even stand up when she wanted to get out of bed.
Outside the door, Qingyu came in with food, her head down. Seeing the person still in bed recuperating, she asked worriedly, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, you..."
Yi Ran quickly followed and put the things in Qingyu's hand on the table. Then she pulled Qingyu away in a hurry and didn't forget to close the door when she left.
Seeing this, a blush crept up Tang Youyou's originally fair face. Looking at the person feeding her, she snorted.
"You're such a good husband now. But how did you bully me last night?"
Hearing Tang Youyou's complaint, Rong Xun smiled and said, "That was just my love for you, my lady. It's just that this love is too heavy, which made you tired."
Just as his voice fell, there came a burst of voices from outside the door. These voices immediately made Tang Youyou feel unhappy.
She asked impatiently, "Rong Xun, is there someone outside?"
Not long after, Kang Fuhai started knocking on the door and said, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, there are quite a few people outside. They said they came here to ask for some food."
Ask for food? Hearing this, Tang Youyou rarely laughed.
How did these people know that there was food here? Did someone spread the word, or were there some people following them all the time?
Seeing Tang Youyou deep in thought again, Rong Xun said indifferently, "Madam, why don't I handle this matter for you?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou joked, "You'll help me? How do you plan to help me?"
"Those people outside are all hooligans, you know?"
