It was already dark when the group arrived at the palace.
To avoid attracting attention, Long Jingchen got off the carriage at the palace gate and walked in with the others, quietly holding Sang Jiang's hand the whole way.
Sang Jiang watched him walk steadily and calmly, not at all like someone who had been injured, and couldn't help but marvel.
People who practice martial arts have really good physiques; if it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to get up for at least ten days.
Long Jingchen felt her gaze and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you captivated by my handsomeness?"
Sang Jiang: ...
She looked Long Jingchen up and down a few times and replied seriously, "Just a show-off."
As soon as they returned to Mingyue Palace, Long Jingchen went straight to the soft couch and lay down. Sang Jiang, having slept all day, was no longer sleepy and asked Kou'er and Aya to prepare some food.
When everything was ready, Sang Jiang was about to wake Long Jingchen up to eat something when she saw that he had already fallen asleep.
She didn't ask him to eat anything, then washed up and went to bed to get a blanket for Long Jingchen and cover him with it.
Being injured makes a difference. Usually, Long Jingchen would wake up as soon as she made a sound, but this time he didn't.
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow slightly, reached out and touched his forehead to make sure he didn't have a fever before returning to bed to sleep.
When Long Jingchen woke up, it was already midnight. He habitually reached out to touch Sang Jiang beside him, only to find that he had fallen asleep on the soft couch when he touched the small table.
He sat up and looked around, only to find Sang Jiang sleeping soundly in bed.
Long Jingchen: ...
He kicked off the blanket covering him, walked to the bedside, lay down, and then pulled Sang Jiang's blanket over himself.
As soon as Sang Jiang felt the warmth, she immediately snuggled up to him, tightly hugging Long Jingchen's waist with both hands, and pressing her legs against him without hesitation.
She's always been afraid of the cold and has a habit of sleeping with a doll, so now Long Jingchen is like a doll to her.
Long Jingchen smiled slightly as he felt her movements. He tightened his grip on Sang Jiang's arm and bit her ear, saying, "You little ingrate."
Sang Jiang cried out in pain a few times and then fell asleep again.
Long Jingchen held her and watched her for a while, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
...
The next morning, when Sang Jiang woke up, Long Jingchen was no longer there. Looking at the cup on the soft couch and remembering the bear she had been hugging in her dream, she realized that the man must have climbed into her bed in the middle of the night.
He even bit her ear!
Thinking of this, Sang Jiang's face flushed red. She smiled and got out of bed.
Kou'er had already prepared the food, and as soon as she saw her go out, she immediately had it brought in.
After eating and drinking her fill, Sang Jiang, unusually energetic, got up and wandered around Mingyue Palace a few times. Finally, feeling bored, she asked Kou'er to make some chicken soup and led her to Chaochengshun Hall.
When she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she heard her own name called. Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.
"Have you heard? The Emperor didn't come back to court yesterday because of this Sang Jiang."
"Huh? What does this have to do with the Imperial Noble Consort?"
"Yes, sister, do you have some inside information?"
"I overheard it by accident when I went to the Empress's palace yesterday."
—"Really?"
"How could the Empress's information be false?"
"That Imperial Noble Consort is going too far! She's already monopolized the Emperor's attention all this time, and now she's even affecting the Emperor's court proceedings!"
"Don't you have anything better to do all day than gossip?"
