Almost as soon as Sang Hongfu left, Wei Qing appeared out of nowhere and entered Yunshuang Courtyard with Nian Shihua.
Sang Jiang glanced at Chunhe when she saw the two of them, and Chunhe immediately turned around, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
Wei Qing didn't waste any time and looked directly at the group, saying, "If we leave before the wedding, it might attract attention. So I discussed it with Nian Shihua and we decided that when the banquet is almost over, you and Consort Sang should pretend to be drunk. When you return to Yunshuang Courtyard, our people will come to meet you."
"Yes." Sang Jiang looked at Wei Qing and nodded heavily.
After Wei Qing left, she stared blankly at his retreating figure.
Is she really leaving?
Why am I hesitant?
What exactly are Long Jingchen and Long Jingyu plotting?
Could it be... a dark tribe?
"Never mind," Sang Jiang shook her head in frustration.
Whatever the reason, she could no longer stay in the palace.
Sang Ruo walked to her side and put a hand on her shoulder: "Jiang Jiang, if you don't want to leave..."
"No!" Sang Jiang interrupted her before she could finish speaking: "I don't not want to leave."
Sang Ruo looked at her, pursed her lips, and then stopped talking.
She was a little scared; she was afraid that Sang Jiang would back down and not leave.
This was her last chance. She wanted to be selfish and let Sang Jiang go with her, but she was also afraid that Sang Jiang would miss out on her whole life because of it.
Therefore, she was conflicted.
Sang Jiang stared outside for a long while before turning her gaze to Sang Ruo: "Ruo Ruo, will you regret this?"
"Ah?" A hint of panic flashed in Sang Ruo's eyes.
Sang Jiang...do you really not want to leave?
She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Jiang Jiang, if you really..."
"No." Sang Jiang interrupted her again, yawning before continuing, "I can't guarantee you what kind of life we'll have after we leave. Ruoruo, will you regret it without the luxuries?"
"No!" Sang Ruo looked at Sang Jiang firmly without hesitation and said, "Jiang Jiang, without Brother Hua, a life of luxury means nothing to me."
"Okay." Sang Jiang nodded and then stopped talking.
She walked to the soft couch next to her and slowly lay down.
They didn't know when the banquet would start, and all they could do now was wait.
On the other hand, after leaving Yunshuang Courtyard, Nian Shihua went directly to the Imperial Palace.
He slightly raised his eyes to look at the Empress sitting at the head of the table: "Your Majesty, I have already inquired and found out that the Imperial Noble Consort and Consort Sang are currently waiting for the banquet to begin at the Yunshuang Courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence. I have not yet discovered what they are plotting."
The Empress narrowed her eyes slightly, sitting upright and looking at Nian Shihua. Only after confirming that Nian Shihua was not acting strangely did she speak: "Well, then let's keep an eye on her. Report any unusual activity immediately. I want to see what kind of trouble these two sisters are up to."
“Yes!” Nian Shihua immediately nodded in response.
Seeing that she was being so cooperative, the Empress continued, "Shihua, haven't I treated you well all these years?"
"Your Majesty?" Nian Shihua looked up at the Empress with a hint of fear in her eyes.
The Empress smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Don't worry. We were once mistress and servant. I know this is a difficult situation for you. How about I let you go after this is over?"
Nian Shihua never imagined she would have such a kind heart; the Empress was the most suspicious person...
