Almost simultaneously, everyone turned their attention to Su Liangdi, as long as Caiyun was busy finding someone to help Zhao Lianyan.
Nangong Jin picked up Su Liangdi and put her aside, then pulled up Sang Jiang who was lying on the ground.
Sang Jiang's legs gave way and she fell forward.
Before Nangong Jin could make a move, the Emperor preemptively picked up Sang Jiang.
Both Nangong Jin and Consort Xian looked up at the Emperor in disbelief.
Unfortunately, the Emperor's attention was completely elsewhere: "Imperial Physician! Quickly, summon the Imperial Physician!"
Not only were the two of them dumbfounded, but Sang Jiang was also stunned.
She shook her head to force herself to wake up, and then struggled to get down.
The Emperor glanced down at her, then ignored her struggles and carried her into the room.
Consort Xian stared at the Emperor's retreating figure, lost in thought. She carefully recalled Sang Jiang's face and was suddenly stunned.
So alike! Absolutely so!
The nanny beside her also saw her face, and she tugged at Consort Xian's sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness."
Consort Xian snapped out of her daze and hurriedly followed behind the Emperor.
Nangong Jin looked at the two of them with confusion, he really had no idea what the emperor was up to.
Could it be that he's taken a liking to Sang Jiang? That shouldn't be the case; he hasn't taken any concubines since his mother died. Besides, Sang Jiang is so young.
He glanced at the stunned Consort Su beside him, then swept her up in his arms and followed behind Consort Xian, leaving Zhao Lianyan, who had just been pulled out of the water, alone there, pounding her chest and stamping her feet in anger.
After settling Consort Su in, he went straight to Sang Jiang's room. Upon entering, he saw his father staring at her for a while.
He frowned: "What does Father mean by this?"
The Emperor was somewhat agitated at this moment. He held Nangong Jin's hand, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Jin'er, what is her name?"
Nangong Jin: "Sang Jiang".
"A person from Dongchen Kingdom?"
"right."
"Yes! That's right! Excellent! Excellent!" The Emperor was even more excited when he heard the answer he had thought of.
Nangong Jin was even more puzzled.
Consort Xian, standing beside her, understood perfectly.
Sang Jiang frowned as well, and looked at the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"
The Emperor then looked at her again: "Sang Jiang, right? Jiang'er! Father has finally found you!"
Sangjiang: ? ? ?
Another cheap daddy?
Nangong Jin: ? ? ?
Father? So Sang Jiang is his sister?
Sang Jiang was now sobered up by his address of "father." She pursed her lips and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you must be mistaken. I am the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister of Dongchen Kingdom."
The Emperor saw that her eyes were red and said firmly, "No! I couldn't be wrong! That peony on your shoulder was tattooed on you by your mother! I couldn't be wrong! You were so small back then."
As he spoke, a single tear rolled down his cheek.
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, let alone an emperor.
Sang Jiang frowned as she looked at him.
He continued, "Back then, the Western Wind Kingdom wasn't so powerful. Your mother and I were detained by a group of people on our way back from paying tribute to the Eastern Chen Kingdom. Your mother gave birth to you at that time. But we didn't even know if we could leave alive, so we thought of having your aunt take you away, so that at least you could survive."
"aunt?"
"Yes, actually, your current mother is just your aunt. Your mother was afraid that your aunt would eventually be captured and brought back, so she tattooed this peony on her shoulder and told your aunt that if there was any danger, no matter if she was poor or rich, she must send you away."
