The saying "Out of poor mountains and bad waters come hooligans" is never wrong.
Tang Youyou was rather curious about what means a person like Rong Xun would use to handle such a matter.
These people must have been fully prepared before daring to cause trouble. Perhaps there were even people in the court backing them up.
Nine out of ten people who came here were nobles. But having been in a dull situation for so long, many had forgotten their former identities.
They were also pitiful people gathering together.
Hearing this, Rong Xun replied without hesitation, "Of course, I'll use some gentle means to make these people retreat in the face of difficulties and dare not act recklessly."
Hearing the words "gentle means", Tang Youyou felt relieved. In her current state, she simply couldn't argue with those people or handle the matter.
She let out a sigh of relief, meeting Rong Xun's purple star - like eyes. "Okay, I'll follow your lead."
After comforting Tang Youyou, Rong Xun walked towards the door. Looking at the people outside the gate, each of them was holding hoes, pitchforks, and some even had shovels.
Were they preparing for a big fight?
However, Rong Xun still maintained a calm and composed expression. Looking at the bustling scene, he stared silently at the leading old man.
Only to hear this man shout, "People inside, listen up! Since we all live here, there's no need to hide anything. People outside are on the verge of death, while you inside seem to have an inexhaustible supply of money and food. There must be something wrong with you!"
Hearing this, Rong Xun finally understood why these people had discovered something.
He said coldly, "Everyone, please calm down. I'd like to remind you that our family affairs are none of anyone else's business. Finally, I'm about to see you off. Please go back."
Immediately, several people finally quieted down. They peeked at each other's eyes until a few shouts came from behind.
"Do you think we'll just listen to you? We're almost out of food. We're about to starve to death! Is human life really that worthless in your eyes?"
Hearing this, Rong Xun finally showed a blood - thirsty smile. He said, "In that case, none of you should leave."
He waved his long sword and struck at the person in front of him. In an instant, the head fell to the ground. The people who were still shouting just now fell silent.
Rong Xun raised his eyes again and looked at the leading old man. He smiled again and said, "You don't need to stay either..."
Hearing this, the old man quickly knelt on the ground. He finally realized the cruelty of the man in front of him.
However, it was already too late.
Rong Xun had already drawn his long sword. With another swift movement, the man would never be able to speak again.
The remaining people looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to say another word. When Rong Xun just looked up at them, they quickly left the place.
The two corpses on the ground were also dragged away and cleaned up by those people under Rong Xun's hint.
Seeing this scene, Qingyu was so frightened that she couldn't say a word for a long time. She thought the emperor had really changed his ways and would be gentle.
Who would have thought that he was still the same, or even more cruel and bloody than before.
He was simply a living Yama. Except when dealing with the Empress Dowager, when he was like a gentle lion, for others, it was a disaster.
Tang Youyou in the room sensed something was wrong. She propped herself up with difficulty and was about to get up and walk towards the door while holding on to the wall. But halfway through, she was "intercepted" by Rong Xun.
Rong Xun frowned worriedly and said, "Wife, are you in such a hurry to go out? Your husband can do it for you."
As he was speaking, Tang Youyou was stunned for a moment and then questioned, "Did you go out and kill someone?"
Hearing this, Rong Xun smiled slightly and said, "Wife still has a sharp nose. Your husband forgot to wash just now. I'll go and wash now."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was completely helpless.
She looked at the person in front of her and didn't know what to say. She just changed the topic. "Can you tell who those people at the door are..."
Before Tang Youyou could finish speaking, Rong Xun continued, "Those are all high - ranking officials and nobles. You can tell from their clothes."
They were all wolves in sheep's clothing. So what if he killed them?
Hearing Rong Xun's words, Tang Youyou finally felt relieved. She took out the Qilin Pendant from under the pillow again.
Turning around, she looked at Rong Xun and said, "I'd like you to hold this. The person above will come again. I'm afraid something might go wrong."
Knowing Tang Youyou's concerns, Rong Xun smiled and said, "Wife, your worry is unnecessary. As long as your husband is here, no one can hurt you."
"Just like those people outside the door just now. They like to bully the weak and fear the strong, and your husband is here to support you."
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou frowned again. She was a bit puzzled and said, "Yesterday, how did you know that the woman was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and how did you know about the third prince of the Cang Kingdom? I always feel that you're hiding something."
When facing Tang Youyou's doubts, Rong Xun was not surprised at all. He calmly looked at Tang Youyou and said helplessly, "Because he has lost his memory, and your husband was not born in the Daming Kingdom."
This statement shocked Tang Youyou. Who would have known that the previous emperor of the Daming Kingdom was actually a foreigner!
Now, it was only right that the throne was returned to Su Jin.
No wonder Rong Xun had no interest in the throne at all. But if that was the case, since he was not from the Daming Kingdom and knew so much about the Cang Kingdom, perhaps he himself was from the Cang Kingdom.
"Rong Xun, which country are you from?"
Seeing Tang Youyou's delicate face suddenly tense up, Rong Xun smiled and stroked Tang Youyou's fluffy head. He smiled and said,
"Your husband is from the Cang Kingdom. If your husband wants you to go to the Cang Kingdom with me, would you be willing?"
Tang Youyou blurted out two words, "Unwilling."
"Unwilling?"
Rong Xun repeated in disbelief.
Tang Youyou nodded. "Unwilling. I'm not willing to follow you to a place I know nothing about. It's your hometown, but there are still people I cherish here."
It wasn't that she didn't love Rong Xun, but everything had its trade - offs.
Looking at Tang Youyou's determined eyes, Rong Xun sighed slightly. "Little You'er, perhaps in the not - too - distant future, we may go our separate ways, but in the end, we will surely meet again. For now, your husband just wants to take good care of you. That's all."
He didn't want the person he cherished deeply to be in pain, so there was no need to make these things public.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou's originally bright eyes instantly dimmed, for she understood...
