Tang Youyou noticed that this man had changed a lot. No matter how she looked at him, he seemed to have a completely different personality from the protagonist in the book who would sentence people to death at the slightest provocation.
After experiencing so many life - and - death situations, had the protagonist's temperament also changed?
The lotus seed soup was really heart - warming after she drank it, and this man seemed much more pleasant to look at.
"What are you staring at me for?"
Rong Xun noticed that this woman had been staring at his face. "Is there something on my face?"
Tang Youyou pursed her lips and laughed. "Yes, there is something."
"It should have gotten on me when I was in the kitchen. Where?"
He reached out to wipe it, but Tang Youyou got there first. She stroked his smooth and fair cheek and whispered, "It's all over the face. This kind of beauty can't be wiped off."
The male protagonist in the book was originally set as the most handsome man in the world. This was not an exaggeration at all. No matter where this face went, it would become the focus of everyone's attention.
The third floor of this inn had been rented out by Ye Yue, so not many people came to admire his peerless beauty.
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, Rong Xun actually blushed for a moment.
This was really unexpected. Tang Youyou thought she might have been mistaken. She blinked her eyes and looked again. Although it wasn't very obvious on his face, the tips of his red ears didn't lie.
Wow, it was really a long - awaited sight. This man could actually be shy.
Tang Youyou wanted to reach out and touch his red - translucent ears, but because there were other people around, she restrained herself.
The person hidden at the stairway was watching everything downstairs. All the intimate actions of these two people fell into Lin Sheng's eyes.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug deep into her palms. The blood was almost dripping out, but her face remained expressionless as she stared at them.
"Why can you two laugh so happily while I can only hide in the dark? Why!"
Lin Sheng gritted her teeth and stared with a fierce look in her eyes. If looks could kill, they would have died countless times.
She had already figured out Tang Youyou's diet. There were special people to prepare three meals a day for her. Although the food was cooked in the back kitchen of the inn, there were always guards standing outside, not allowing anyone to get close.
This wouldn't do. Moreover, that person had high martial arts skills. If she confronted them head - on, she would surely be defeated.
She noticed that Tang Youyou often drank a kind of medicine before going to sleep. This medicine was freshly brewed. Although there were also people watching, the medicinal materials had to be fetched from the pharmacy.
Lin Sheng seized this opportunity and just waited for the person who delivered the medicine to come.
One night, she quietly followed the young servant who delivered the medicine and found out where the pharmacy was. Then she sneaked in secretly.
She found the several kinds of medicine that Tang Youyou took. When it was late at night and there was no one around, she pulled open the drawers and sprinkled the pre - prepared poison into the ones that contained the medicinal materials.
This poison was specially prepared by her and her aunt. It was extremely effective. When dissolved in water, it was colorless and odorless, and ordinary people could hardly detect its existence.
After she sprinkled the poison on the medicinal materials, she heard some movement outside and immediately disappeared from the pharmacy.
The young servant who delivered the medicine came to prepare the medicinal materials needed for tomorrow morning. When he walked to the medicine cabinet, he found that the drawer was not closed tightly.
"I clearly closed it before I left. Why is it still open?" He stepped forward to close it tightly and then found all the medicinal materials listed in the prescription one by one.
After he had prepared the medicine, he left.
Lin Sheng was hiding behind the door. She felt relieved when she saw him leave with the medicine bag.
Early the next morning, the young servant came to the inn to deliver the medicine and successfully handed the medicinal materials to Ye Yue.
Ye Yue took them and went straight to the back kitchen. He put these medicinal materials into the frying pan, lit a small fire and simmered slowly. He watched the fire carefully, afraid that the heat would be too low or too high.
Throughout the whole process, his every move was under Lin Sheng's surveillance. Seeing that Ye Yue was always guarding, even though she couldn't get close, she wasn't worried. The poison was quite heat - resistant and would not lose its effectiveness no matter how long it was brewed.
The medicine was brewed. At this time, Rong Xun walked in from outside and saw Ye Yue pouring the medicinal soup.
"Let me do it."
He took over and carefully poured all the medicinal soup into the bowl. It was another black - looking bowl. You'er would surely be reluctant to take it obediently when she saw it later.
Suddenly, Rong Xun suddenly looked up in the direction of the stairway.
Lin Sheng quickly hid herself. If she had been a second slower, she might have been exposed.
Ye Yue followed his gaze but didn't see anything, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'll take this medicine over. You go and prepare some candied fruits."
"Yes."
Ye Yue was already very familiar with this kind of thing. When they were in Dashuiwan before, Tang Youyou never took her medicine obediently. She always had to wait until the desserts or fruits were ready.
Rong Xun carried the medicine up the stairs. The feeling of being stared at all the time made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
That person had been staring at him, not since the medicine - brewing started, but since two days ago.
When he reached the upper floor, Rong Xun used his peripheral vision to signal Tie Shou, who was hiding in the dark, to find out who that person was.
Tie Shou had just returned from outside when he received Rong Xun's order. Without saying a word, he immediately took action. But he didn't rush to confront this person head - on. Instead, he secretly followed her to see what she was up to.
Tang Youyou had just come out of the room. Before she could even take a look outside, she saw Rong Xun take a big step and stand in front of her.
"What's wrong?"
Why was this man acting so strangely today?
She tried to walk past him, but Rong Xun seemed to be deliberately blocking her way.
"What are you doing?" Tang Youyou looked at him in confusion. She had just praised him a little yesterday, and today he was already getting carried away. This was too fast.
"I'll give you a surprise."
As Rong Xun said this, he took out a delicate red sandalwood box from somewhere.
"What's this?"
"Open it and see."
Tang Youyou took the box and saw that there was a golden lock on it. She needed a key to open it.
"Where's the key?"
Rong Xun glanced at her bedside. "Under the pillow."
When did this man put it under her pillow? She hadn't noticed at all. Did he secretly put it there while she was sleeping?
She turned around and walked over, but unexpectedly, Rong Xun took a step ahead of her, lifted her pillow and took out a small key from under it.
"Here."
Tang Youyou thought he was really strange, but she didn't think much about it. Now she just wanted to know what treasure was in this box.
She used the key to open it. When she lifted the lid, she saw two shiny gold bracelets.
These gold bracelets were different from ordinary ones. If you looked closely, there were dense patterns carved on them, which looked like dragon patterns.
Moreover, there were green jade stones inlaid on the bracelets. The color was extremely beautiful when seen under the light.
"Do you like it? This is a gift for his birth."
