Seeing her over - reactive, Rong Jiangyu quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground.
He even stepped forward considerately to comfort her. "Are you still feeling sick?"
After drinking some water, Tang Youyou finally recovered from the nausea. "This gift is really peculiar. You've put so much effort into it. Don't do this again next time. My heart can't take it."
Rong Jiangyu laughed. "Tang Youyou, why have you become so timid? Since you don't like it, forget it."
Timid? Tang Youyou couldn't help sneering. She was nauseated, not scared.
Now that Su Jin was dead, she thought the Great Ming must be in a complete mess.
However, that was not the case. Since Rong Xun's "death", although there had been no wise monarch, some of the court officials were still capable, especially Xu Song, the prime minister of the current dynasty.
This man stood out in the court. Whether in military strategy or governing the country, no one in the Great Ming could match him.
This was exactly what Rong Jiangyu worried about the most. The reason was that as long as the emperor of the Great Ming was absent, he could attack the imperial city without any worry. But the existence of Xu Song had become the biggest obstacle to his plan.
Despite this threat, Rong Jiangyu could no longer tolerate any delay in his plan.
He took out the tiger tally he had obtained from General Lan Er. This was the token that could mobilize more than half of the troops in the Xia Kingdom. With this, the soldiers under Lan Er's command would now be completely under his flag, and he no longer had to be restricted by Lan Er.
Even if Lan Er wanted to interfere, now he could only do so in the underworld.
Rong Xun took out another pill and handed it to Tang Youyou. "This pill can calm your mind and soothe your qi."
Tang Youyou was an expert in refining medicine and pills, but this time she had been taken hostage in a hurry and basically brought nothing with her.
She took the pill and smelled it under her nose. It was indeed good, made of high - quality ingredients.
She threw it into her mouth and swallowed it, then asked, "Did you refine this pill yourself?"
"No."
These pills were all bought at a high price from a doctor.
She didn't continue to ask. Refining pills was a rather private matter, and people wouldn't easily reveal the formula to others. It was reasonable for him not to want to talk about it.
Tang Youyou felt bored staying in the tent and wanted to go out for a walk. Just as she got up and was about to go outside, she found a cloak had been put on her.
She saw it was the doctor who had put it on. She knew this doctor had been threatened by that Rong Jiangyu, but she didn't expect this man to be so considerate. Sure enough, those who studied medicine all had a compassionate heart.
It was early spring, the season when sandstorms were frequent. Although it wasn't as cold as in winter outside, the strong wind blew on her body like a knife.
The patrolling soldiers often passed by her tent. Although they hadn't seen her much, they all knew that there was a woman living in their king's tent. Presumably, it was this woman.
Tang Youyou wanted to find Ye Yue, but there were too many tents here. It was simply unrealistic to look for him one by one.
So she stopped a person and described Ye Yue's general appearance. "Have you seen a young man who is about a head taller than me, with a burly build and a handsome face?"
The man stared at her blankly and said, "No."
She knew her description might not be very accurate. Now the only one who knew where Ye Yue was was that Rong Jiangyu.
Tang Youyou found the tent where he lived. Just as she was about to go in, she was blocked outside by two guards.
"I have something to see your master."
The two guards glanced at each other. One of them put away the sword that was in front of her and simply said, "Wait."
The man went in and came out a few seconds later. "You're allowed to go in." He then glanced at the doctor following her. "But he can't. Only one person can go in."
Tang Youyou looked at the doctor. "You just wait for me here." Then she walked in.
Rong Xun was quite dissatisfied with being left outside mercilessly, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
After Tang Youyou went in, she saw Rong Jiangyu lying on his side on the bed, holding a little girl in his arms. This little girl looked somewhat familiar.
She remembered that this was the little girl who had been taking care of her since she came here.
She had also heard before that this little girl had been bought by their master from the street and was one of the people involved in the street killing this time.
The girl on the bed saw someone coming in and quickly got up to put on her clothes. Her shy face was blushing like crazy.
"Rong Jiangyu, where is the guard who came with me?"
Ye Yue was highly skilled in martial arts and almost invincible, but his biggest nemesis was this kind of insidious and cunning person.
Rong Jiangyu propped himself up on his arm and sat up on the couch. He half - lay and looked at her. "How would I know?"
Hearing this answer, Tang Youyou was really furious.
"The person was abducted by you. If you don't know, who does? Hurry up and tell me. Where on earth is he?"
Ye Yue was Rong Xun's man. If Rong Xun knew that his capable subordinate had disappeared because of her, how would Rong Xun react?
"Ah, you mean that person. What's your relationship with him?"
Tang Youyou really wanted to punch him, but she held back.
"He's my guard. What do you think our relationship is?"
"Was he sent to you by that Rong Xun?" Rong Jiangyu squinted his eyes, looking just like a lazy cat.
"What are you talking nonsense about? He's the guard left to me by my grandfather. What does he have to do with that heartless man, Rong Xun?"
Tang Youyou showed a displeased look and pretended to leave immediately. "Since you won't say, I'll just look for him one by one."
"Wait. What does 'heartless man' mean?"
Although Tang Youyou was lying to some extent, when she thought of the words "heartless man", she felt that this word really suited Rong Xun.
She didn't hide anything and told the truth about what had happened before.
"You should also know that Rong Xun is not dead. Not only is he alive, but he has already married someone else. I saw him with my own eyes wearing a bright red wedding dress and getting married to another woman."
Tang Youyou thought that if this was in modern times, Rong Xun should be in jail by now, after all, this was bigamy.
Rong Jiangyu heard about this for the first time and couldn't help but be curious.
"Oh? He actually left you and married someone else?"
"Indeed. Since I'm no longer the queen of the Great Ming, there's no longer any relationship between us. Now whom he marries and has children with has nothing to do with me."
She said this insincerely, but there was also a bit of anger in her words.
"Really? Then who did he marry?"
Tang Youyou said straightforwardly, "A woman named Lin Sheng. Well, I've said everything I need to say. If he was sent by Rong Xun, would I still keep him by my side? I don't even want things from such a person."
