"Is that so?" Long Jingchen watched as his expression slowly darkened.
"Yes, this old minister has been working tirelessly lately, hoping to find Jiang'er as soon as possible." He said, even wiping away tears as if to pretend.
He was almost moved to tears by his own words.
Long Jingchen suddenly laughed, picked up a letter from the table, and threw it at Sang Hongfu's head: "Take a good look. Sang Jiang has been in the Western Phoenix Kingdom's palace for a long time. Surely the Prime Minister doesn't know that yet?"
Sang Hongfu quickly picked up the envelope from the ground and carefully examined it. He was completely stunned.
These past few days, he's been so busy having fun with Yang Liu that he's completely forgotten about Sang Jiang.
He was stunned when he saw the letter.
Seeing his expression, Long Jingchen knew he was completely unaware of the matter. He snorted coldly, "This is what the Prime Minister has been thinking about day and night? You say the noblewoman is fasting and chanting Buddhist prayers for Sang Jiang? She probably doesn't have that in mind right now!"
Sang Hongfu didn't care about anything else. He kowtowed to him and lay prostrate on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, this old minister is terrified. This old minister really did not receive these messages, but this old minister and his wife have indeed been thinking of that fourth girl all along!"
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Long Jingchen decided not to waste any more time with him: "Prime Minister, instead of wasting time talking to me about these things, you should really clean up your own household! Look at what's going on outside!"
Only then did Sang Hongfu realize what Long Jingchen was angry about. Without looking up, he said, "This old minister understands. This old minister will definitely reflect on his mistakes after returning home."
"Reflect on your mistakes? Does Your Excellency think that reflecting on your mistakes alone will bring Sang Jiang back?" Long Jingchen's emotions became slightly out of control when he said this.
He didn't know whether he was angry at Sang Hongfu or at himself. If he really wanted to say that Sang Jiang had gotten to where she was today, it was all his fault.
Before Sang Hongfu could speak, Long Jingchen waved his hand at him and said, "Alright, go back now. Use your brain more often. You're supposed to be the Prime Minister!"
Sang Hongfu addressed Long Jingchen as if granting him a pardon: "Your subject obeys the decree and takes his leave."
After saying that, he ran out of Chengshun Hall with small, quick steps. As soon as he stepped out, his legs went weak and he almost sat down on the ground. Fortunately, the servant next to him helped him up in time.
"master."
Sang Hongfu looked around and coughed a few times. He steadied himself and tugged at his clothes: "Let's go back first."
The two left the palace and boarded the carriage again. The carriage drove all the way to the Prime Minister's residence. Sang Hongfu got out of the carriage and looked at the servant beside him seriously and said, "Go and find out what the Emperor is talking about, and why I haven't received the young master's letter."
The servant nodded and went to carry out the order.
Sang Hongfu went straight to Yang Liu's residence shortly after arriving.
Yang Liu was lying outside sunbathing when she heard footsteps and got up to greet him: "Master, you're back."
Upon seeing Yang Liu, Sang Hongfu's anger subsided considerably. He supported Yang Liu, suppressing his anger, and asked softly, "Why did you come out?"
Yang Liu smiled gently and said, "I was worried because my master hadn't returned for so long, so I came out to greet him. Now that I see that my master has returned, I can finally put my mind at ease."
Looking at her, Sang Hongfu didn't know if he was infected by her smile or something else, but he felt a sense of relaxation as he smelled the faint fragrance on Yang Liu's body.
