Where is she?!
Before An Ye could finish speaking, Long Jingchen grabbed her shoulder tightly.
Looking into his bloodshot eyes, An Ye swallowed hard. "Your subordinate... Your subordinate means... I know the reason why the Imperial Noble Consort left..."
After he finished speaking, Long Jingchen released his arm, but still stared intently at him: "What's the reason?"
“I overheard it from Kou’er just now, but she didn’t tell me,” An Ye said, then lowered his eyes.
Kou'er is Sang Jiang's person, and Long Jingchen definitely won't touch her. Moreover, he genuinely hopes that Long Jingchen and Sang Jiang can reconcile as soon as possible, which is why he chose to tell Long Jingchen about this.
In the four years since Sang Jiang left, he has become a living corpse, neither human nor ghost, forcing himself to train soldiers or handle various government affairs every day.
He had followed Long Jingchen for so many years, and seeing him like this naturally pained him. Thinking back to when Sang Jiang was around, he was like a real, flesh-and-blood person.
"Kou'er?" Long Jingchen frowned. Kou'er was Sang Jiang's person, so he had never thought of questioning her over the years. Only after hearing An Ye mention it did he realize that he might have overlooked something: "Go and bring her here."
"Yes, I'll go right away." As for having someone else bring Kou'er over, An Ye still hoped he would go himself, since he would be gentle with Kou'er, while others wouldn't.
Long Jingchen watched his departing figure and sat down wearily.
Jiang Jiang, where are you?
If I have really done something wrong, shouldn't you have punished me enough?
Soon, An Ye pulled Kou'er over.
As Kou'er walked away, she cursed and shouted, "Let me go! You're crazy! I've already said I didn't! Don't even mention you asking, even if it were the Emperor, my young lady really didn't say anything! I've been looking for my young lady for so many years, if I really knew something, would I still be here looking for her?!"
An Ye remained silent, letting her pull and tear at his arm.
Kou'er only let go of his hand when he pushed open Long Jingchen's door.
Seeing Long Jingchen's unfriendly expression, she curtsied and said, "This servant greets Your Majesty and pays respects to Your Majesty."
After she finished speaking, she fell silent on the other side.
Long Jingchen stared at her for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice, "Do you know why Jiang Jiang left?"
Kou'er pursed her lips and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, this servant does not know. This servant does not know where An Ye heard these rumors."
"Kou'er," An Ye called her softly.
Kou'er turned and glared at him before continuing, "This servant truly does not know the reason for my young lady's departure, and the Emperor is well aware of these matters, so why ask this servant again?"
"I know perfectly well what's going on?" Long Jingchen was completely bewildered by her pointed remark.
"Does Your Majesty really not know?" For some reason, Kou'er suddenly mustered up the courage to fight him to the bitter end today.
Long Jingchen was even more bewildered. He stared intently at Kou'er and asked, "Do you know something?"
"This servant doesn't know." Kou'er shook her head firmly as before: "But this servant knows that His Majesty must know. My young lady loves His Majesty so much, does His Majesty really not know?"
"I..." Hearing her words, Long Jingchen felt as if his heart was being torn apart...
