As soon as Sang Yun entered the palace, he went straight to Chengshun Hall.
"Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty!" He knelt before Long Jingchen.
Long Jingchen stepped forward and helped him up: "My dear minister, please get up quickly. Is there something you need so late?"
He knew that Sang Yun had just returned from Xifeng Kingdom, so when he saw him rushing into the palace, he assumed that something had happened to Sang Jiang.
Sang Yun avoided the emperor's hand and continued kneeling: "Your subject is guilty, Your subject cannot rise."
Long Jingchen withdrew his hand and took a step back: "What do you mean by that, my dear minister?"
Sang Yun lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "I... brought Yang Liu home. She is now six months pregnant."
"What!" Long Jingchen frowned: "She's already pregnant with your child?"
He had a vague guess in his mind, but he still tentatively asked it out loud.
Sang Yun pursed his lips awkwardly: "No, he is my... younger brother."
He practically squeezed out the word "younger brother" through gritted teeth.
Long Jingchen coughed lightly: "I understand, but this is ultimately your family matter. You should know Yang Liu's character. How do you plan to handle this?"
Sang Yun thought for a moment and said, "I would like to discuss this matter with Her Highness the Imperial Concubine."
“Alright, but the Imperial Concubine should be resting by now. Why don’t you come again tomorrow?” Long Jingchen nodded slightly.
Although this matter is a family affair of the Sang family, Yang Liu's behavior has violated the law. However, this matter involves Sang Hongfu, and he believes that even if he doesn't interfere, Sang Yun can handle it properly. So why not just pass the matter on to him?
Sang Yun nodded: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave if there is nothing else."
"Mm." Long Jingchen nodded.
"Wait a moment!"
Sang Yun had just gotten up and taken two steps when Long Jingchen called her back again.
He turned to look at Long Jingchen: "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"
Long Jingchen touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed: "Did Princess Mingyue say anything?"
Sang Yun thought for a moment and then didn't know how to start the conversation.
After everything he'd been through, even if he were stupid, he could tell that Long Jingchen liked his fourth sister, but the fourth sister really hadn't said anything.
Could he tell Long Jingchen that he didn't?
Sang Yun raised her eyes slightly, about to say no, but was forced back by Long Jingchen's gaze: "Your Majesty, Princess Mingyue said that she has forgiven Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty not to worry."
After finishing speaking, Sang Yun quickly lowered her eyes.
Fourth sister, please don't blame your second brother. He really didn't mean to sell you.
Long Jingchen seemed not to have heard the answer he wanted. His expression did not change, and he simply nodded slightly: "I understand. You may go back now."
"Your subject takes his leave." After saying this, Sang Yun turned around and left without looking back.
He was afraid that Long Jingchen would suddenly stop him and ask if Sang Jiang had anything else to say.
You should know that Sang Jiang never mentioned him from beginning to end. Isn't he making things difficult for him by asking him this now?
Sang Yun frowned the whole way back to the Prime Minister's residence. He didn't know if Yang Liu would be able to keep her composure when he saw her. Thinking about what she had done to Sang Jiang, he wanted nothing more than to throw her out. But if he confronted her now, how could he make her slip up later?
Men understand men best. Given Sang Hongfu's joy at having a child late in life, he would absolutely not let Sang Yun drive Yang Liu away...
