Song Xumo stole a glance. When he was a subject under Rong Xun, he had also seen the queen a few times, but only from afar.
At that time, there were rumors in the court that the emperor and the queen were on bad terms.
Now it seems that these rumors have self - destructed.
"It's really nothing, just a bit of a shock. There's no need to take medicine. If there's anywhere you feel uncomfortable, tell me."
Tang Youyou nodded. She herself knew a bit of medicine, but was not very proficient. Moreover, she was not very good at treating herself. She could still diagnose others, but only simple ailments.
After a while, the food had been served. Rong Xun had also specifically ordered for bird's nest to be prepared for stewing, and ginseng and red dates had been added inside.
"Where did you get all these?"
When she saw the full bowl of bird's nest with red dates and ginseng, her eyes widened. Was he trying to make her nosebleed from all this nourishment?
"Don't worry about where it came from. Just eat, You'er."
She had always disliked bird's nest and shark fin, and rarely ate them in the palace.
After a small taste, the taste and texture were actually pretty good, much better than the ones she had eaten before.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Rong Xun thoughtfully wiped the corner of her mouth. This action really shocked Song Xumo who had witnessed it.
Where had the formerly imposing monarch gone?
After the group had finished their meal, Tang Youyou was feeling sleepy. She had reached the stage where she was hungry and sleepy all the time, and her stomach was also more obvious than before.
"Sleepy?"
Rong Xun saw her yawn, and helped her upstairs to rest.
Song Xumo stroked his chin. The current Emperor Rong was like a different person. In his few years in the court, he had never heard that the two of them had such a good relationship.
Perhaps he could start with the queen and have her persuade Rong Xun to return to the throne. In this way, the chances of success might be greater.
When Tang Youyou woke up, it was already the middle of the night. The sandstorm outside was very strong. The wind was howling, and it made a clanging sound as it passed by the window. She did not really want to go out, but suddenly heard a noise downstairs.
She was a little worried, so she thought of going down to take a look, but was immediately hugged by Rong Xun on her side.
"Where are you going?"
She was slightly startled. In the darkness, her attention was focused on the wind outside, and she had completely forgotten that there was a person beside her.
"I'm going to take a look at what the noise downstairs is."
"Night Moon and the others are here. You don't have to worry. If anything happens, they will inform me immediately."
Although he said so, Tang Youyou was still worried.
"I'll just take a look."
Rong Xun saw that he could not stop this woman who always did as she pleased, and sighed to himself. His You'er was still the same as before.
When he saw her getting out of bed, Rong Xun also followed. He put on his clothes first, and then put on her clothes. Only then did the two of them go downstairs.
When they went downstairs, they did not see anything, but Night Moon and Song Xumo were in the lobby.
"Why aren't the two of you sleeping upstairs? What are you doing here?"
When he saw Tang Youyou coming down, Song Xumo was very happy, but then he saw Rong Xun following behind, and the smile on his face froze for a few seconds.
Although his expression changed very quickly, Rong Xun still noticed this, and immediately became vigilant.
"I can't sleep. I'm here to drink some tea."
Night Moon's look at him was also unusual. Like Rong Xun, he was on his guard against this person.
However, Tang Youyou did not notice the change in the two of them, because she did not sense any hostility from this person, but instead a sense of familiarity.
"I heard a noise downstairs just now, so I thought of coming down to take a look. Did you notice what the noise was?" Tang Youyou asked.
At this moment, Song Xumo lowered his head in embarrassment. He raised his hand to touch his nose, and coughed twice, before saying, "It was me. I accidentally tripped."
Just now, he had come downstairs and was planning to find a way to call Tang Youyou down. Just as he was hesitating back and forth at the stairs, he almost tripped over a foot that suddenly appeared.
When Night Moon was patrolling, he saw this person acting suspiciously downstairs. He wanted to go up, but was a little afraid. He did not know what this person was planning to do, so he went forward to check.
Night Moon immediately saw that this person was planning something related to his master or Tang Youyou. He wanted to scare him, so he walked over silently.
Who would have thought that this person did not look at the road, and stepped on his foot. He almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he was quick, and managed to pull him in time when he was about to fall. Only then was he spared.
"Really?"
Rong Xun suddenly said. He hugged Tang Youyou beside him, and his look at him was no longer as gentle as before.
"Let's go up first. Night Moon, you and Wen Xue watch the situation below."
"Yes."
When Song Xumo heard this, he was a little anxious, but he also knew that this was not the time, so he could only shut up.
Tang Youyou saw him looking like he wanted to say something, and wanted to ask him what he wanted to say, but was interrupted by Rong Xun.
"You need to rest well now. Let's go. Upstairs. If you can't sleep, I'll have someone make you a bowl of calming soup."
"No need. I just slept too much during the day, so I can't sleep now."
After the two of them returned to their room, Night Moon downstairs immediately interrogated Song Xumo.
"Speak. What do you want to do? Don't think that I don't know. I saw your every move. Did you want to go upstairs just now?"
Song Xumo naturally knew that those who could work beside Rong Xun were definitely not ordinary people. Facing Night Moon's question, he did not think of resisting.
He saw Song Xumo sipping his tea, and said, "That's right. I was planning to find a way to attract the attention of the people upstairs. It's just that I didn't pay attention to my feet for a moment, so I almost fell. I still have to thank you for saving me, brother."
Regarding his gratitude, Night Moon only said slowly, "There's no need to thank me. It was just a small thing. You said that you wanted to attract the attention of my master and the mistress of the pavilion? What exactly is going on?"
Facing Night Moon's question, Song Xumo saw that he was a trustworthy person, so he told him his innermost thoughts. This person had been serving beside Rong Xun for such a long time, so he should be trustworthy.
After Night Moon heard his thoughts, the expression on his face became a little disdainful.
"You want my master to return to the throne? Don't dream. It's impossible. Moreover, didn't you already recommend that Xu Songlin? Why do you still have designs on my master?"
"Of course it's because no one in the world is more suitable than Master Rong to be the monarch of the Ming Dynasty."
Night Moon snorted. "I advise you. Don't waste your efforts. Master won't consider it. Moreover, be careful not to let Master know, or else I won't plead for you."
Hearing him say so, Song Xumo immediately felt cold in his heart.
