Seeing her nonchalant expression, Sang Ruo didn't bother beating around the bush and said directly, "There are rumors outside that you seduced the Eighth Prince, and that you committed suicide by drowning yourself after your advances were rejected."
Sangjiang: ? ? ?
Is that true? How come she didn't know?
She thought Long Jingyu was good-looking and clean-cut, but it didn't mean she would commit suicide by drowning for him.
Seeing the complicated expression on her face, Sang Ruo continued, "I really don't know if they're blind. You tried to drown yourself after your advances were rejected, and I just laughed!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.
Sang Jiang burst out laughing.
"You can still laugh?" Sang Ruo looked at Sang Jiang with a gloomy face.
Sang Jiang didn't care about any of this. As an independent woman, she didn't care about these things at all. Besides, these people only dared to criticize her, but dared not criticize the Eighth Prince. This group of people was really...
...
Long Jingchen's expression at this moment was exactly the same as Sang Ruo's, as if they were facing life and death.
"She really cried and jumped into the lake?" Long Jingchen looked at An Ying with a dark face.
Looking at his expression, Shadow nodded with difficulty: "Yes."
"She was carried back by Long Jingyu?" Long Jingchen's face darkened further as he said this.
Shadow: "Yes."
He desperately wanted to escape. He had already said it once, so why was the Emperor repeating it to him? Moreover, seeing Long Jingchen's increasingly dark face, he dared not lower his head any further.
Long Jingchen stared at him for a full half minute before continuing, "So why didn't you call me to save her?"
His tone was thick with jealousy; even he himself didn't realize how sour he was when he said those words.
Shadow: ? ? ?
He blinked, then blinked again. So, was the Emperor serious?
He silently calculated in his mind how long it would take if he really ran back from the lotus pond to tell the emperor and then went with the emperor to rescue Sang Jiang. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take at least a quarter of an hour, and by then Sang Jiang would probably have drowned.
Long Jingchen looked at the shadows and grew increasingly annoyed: "So what's the meaning of those rumors outside? What about Sang Jiang drowning herself in a lake after her advances were rejected? Who spread those rumors?"
Shadow: "This, I do not know."
He genuinely didn't know about this. Ever since he left Kou'er and returned, he had been waiting at the door for Long Jingchen and the ministers to discuss disaster relief, which only ended ten minutes ago.
He had been standing guard in front of the main hall, afraid of missing the time, so she had no idea what was going on.
Long Jingchen was just looking for a way to vent his anger, and now that An Ying had said that, he had found a perfect outlet for his frustration.
He looked at the shadows, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and a slight smile curved his lips.
As soon as Shadow saw his expression, he knew he was probably doomed today.
"So, what exactly are you following her for?"
Shadow: "...This subordinate knows his guilt; it is because this subordinate is useless."
All he wanted right now was for Long Jingchen to get rid of him as soon as possible; he was really feeling miserable in this oppressive atmosphere.
"You're pretty useless. Go to the training room and go through everything before you come back to see me!"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Shadow now truly regrets why he didn't agree to go to Xifeng Kingdom to investigate Nangong Jin. Just thinking about the training room makes his teeth itch. He's afraid he won't come back alive this time.
Even after he left, Long Jingchen still couldn't calm down. He picked up the memorial to try and distract himself, but the more he read, the more upset he became.
Seeing Long Jingchen's irritable appearance, Yang Qi simply kept quiet and focused on his own thoughts. Although he didn't know why the emperor was in a bad mood, he knew that it was best for him to remain silent at this moment.
"Bang!" Long Jingchen suddenly threw down the memorial in his hand in frustration...
