"Your Majesty, I am fine." She said, looking at Long Jingchen with a smile and shaking her head.
Long Jingchen glanced at her and nodded directly: "Well, since the Empress is alright, I'll head back now."
I wonder if he can still have his good fortune after he goes back. If the Empress hadn't interrupted him so late at night, Sang Jiangji would have already been completely taken advantage of by him.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face grew increasingly gloomy.
But the Empress seemed oblivious. Just as Long Jingchen was about to get up and leave, she suddenly called out to him.
"Your Majesty, since you're here, please keep me company." Her tone was slightly pleading.
Without even glancing at her, Long Jingchen turned his back and said, "The Empress isn't sick. I'm afraid you'll pass your illness on to me."
Upon hearing his words, the Empress became anxious. She sat up and called out to Long Jingchen, "Your Majesty, I just have a slight headache, but it's nothing serious."
"Oh?" Long Jingchen turned around and looked at her with a mocking expression: "So, the Empress was lying to me when she said she was seriously ill?"
The Empress panicked upon hearing his words. She looked at Long Jingchen and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, I didn't have any. I think it must be a magpie, but she meant well, Your Majesty."
"Is deceiving the emperor also a matter of good intentions?" As he said this, a hint of murderous intent crept into his voice.
The Empress panicked immediately and hurriedly explained to Long Jingchen, "Your Majesty, Magpie is just worried about me. Your Majesty hasn't visited my palace for so long, and outsiders are spreading rumors about me. Magpie just wants to spare me some of the gossip, Your Majesty!"
"Ha!" Long Jingchen chuckled. "You've been subjected to gossip? How come I don't know of anyone in the entire capital who would dare to spread rumors about you?"
"I..." The Empress was speechless for a moment.
Long Jingchen gave him a cold glance and then said directly to Yang Qi, "Since the Empress is unwell, let her rest well. From now on, the affairs of the Empress's palace will be handled by Consort Lan. No one may disturb the Empress without my permission."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
The Empress jumped up from the bed: "No! Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this! What's the difference between this and deposing me! You can't! You mustn't!"
Unfortunately, Long Jingchen showed no intention of turning back. As he walked out, he coldly said, "If I depose you, you won't even be the Empress anymore!"
Upon hearing his words, the Empress sat down abruptly, tears streaming down her face. She never imagined things would turn out this way.
The palace servants of Jingren Palace also slowly withdrew. The Empress was in a bad mood, and no one wanted to frown here.
For a moment, only the Empress, Magpie, and Granny Lin remained in the vast palace.
Magpie and Granny Lin exchanged a glance and wisely kept quiet.
Meanwhile, at the Prime Minister's residence.
Sang Yun, Yang Mu'an, and Qing Ying had also arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence.
Yang Muchen received the message and was already waiting at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. When Yang Mu'an saw him, she blushed and lowered her head slightly.
Sang Yun glanced at her and immediately lifted her off the horse.
Yang Muchen watched her take a few steps forward and said, "If you've had enough fun, come back with me."
Yang Mu'an pursed his lips, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Yang Muchen noticed her hesitation, so he stepped forward, patted her head, and spoke softly...
