But how can that be?
Just as she was panicking, there was a knock on the door: "Honey, are you done?"
Sang Jiang quickly snapped out of her thoughts, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on before rushing to the door and opening it.
"Alright, alright, what's the rush?" Although her words sounded fierce, her tone was weak and somewhat coquettish.
Long Jingchen pouted: "Wife, you're being mean to me."
Sang Jiang: ...
She ignored the dramatic man and walked straight outside.
Long Jingchen quickly grabbed his things and followed behind her.
The two walked together to the palace gate, where a carriage was waiting for them.
With Long Jingchen's help, Sang Jiang sat in the carriage, and Long Jingchen followed closely behind. The carriage then sped away.
...
Jingren Palace.
Upon hearing Magpie's words, the Empress threw the cup in her hand away: "How dare the Emperor treat me like this!"
The magpie hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty."
The Empress glanced at her and suppressed her anger: "Get up."
The magpie got up and stepped aside.
The Empress pursed her lips and after a long while spoke again: "Have Nian Shihua go with them."
"Yes," the magpie replied and walked into the tunnel.
...
Once inside the carriage, Sang Jiang was like a rabbit let loose, looking left and right with great interest.
Seeing that her attention was focused on the market, Long Jingchen couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "Wife, you haven't looked at me once since you left the palace."
Sang Jiang put down the curtain in her hand, picked up a glass of water from the table, and casually replied, "Looking at you that day, what's so interesting about you? I can't leave the palace every day."
Long Jingchen pouted and moved closer to Sang Jiang, looking at her expectantly as he stood right next to her: "Am I not pretty?"
Sang Jiang frowned, looked at his face carefully for a few moments, and then nodded seriously: "He is handsome, but after looking at him for a long time, you will inevitably get tired of his appearance."
"Aesthetic fatigue?" Long Jingchen frowned, thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure out what aesthetic fatigue meant.
Sang Jiang ignored him and stopped Yang Qi at the market entrance. She then jumped off the carriage without hesitation.
Long Jingchen quickly followed behind her.
Yang Qi handed the carriage to another eunuch and hurriedly followed.
Then Sang Jiang went on a shopping spree, buying everything she saw that she hadn't eaten or played with before.
Anyway, the emperor is right behind me, and he's so rich, I can't possibly bankrupt him.
After buying all the ginger on the street, she lost all motivation. She swung her legs around to relieve the pain in her calves.
Long Jingchen chuckled as he looked at her, but was interrupted by a burst of sword energy near his ear. He quickly turned around and saw several men in black flying towards her. Yang Qi panicked instantly and shouted, "Guards! Protect the young master and madam!"
The guards also poured in from all directions, and the two groups quickly started fighting.
Seeing this, the people quickly ran away and hid in their homes, locking the doors tightly.
Anyone who dares to commit violence in public is clearly not an ordinary person.
So no one dared to go out and get into trouble.
Just as the men in black were about to be overpowered and captured, the leader suddenly turned and lunged at Sang Jiang, the tip of his sword about to pierce her...
