At this point, Eunuch Yang suddenly changed his tone: "It's a secret."
Wan Ting: ...
So he just talked nonsense?
Seeing Wan Ting's slightly darkened face, Eunuch Yang smiled and said, "Miss Wan Ting, are you still pretending to be stupid? We know everything."
After saying that, he left immediately.
Wan Ting was left alone, speechless.
...
After closing the window, Sang Jiang lay back down on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did, even though she used to fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She tossed and turned on the bed, making a huge mess of it.
Kou'er pouted and looked at her, unable to help but say, "Miss, please leave this bed alone, you've practically worn it out from lying on it."
Sang Jiang raised her phoenix eyes, glanced at her twice, and then lay back down.
"Your young lady is annoyed."
"Miss, would you like to go on a southern tour?" Kou'er took two steps forward and sat down on the floor beside her bed. "But there's not much fun to be had on a southern tour, is there?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Jiang sat up abruptly in bed: "You don't understand, do you? Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let's go find Sang Ruo."
After saying that, she got up, put on her shoes, and ran outside, with Kou'er quickly following behind.
"This humble woman greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort." Sang Jiang smiled and curtsied to Sang Ruo.
Sang Ruo couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw her like this.
Sang Jiang knew that she must have something to ask her again. Usually, Sang Jiang would call her Sang Ruo, and she was always in a hurry when she came. It was rare for her to be so quiet.
Sang Jiang wasn't annoyed that she didn't speak. She got up on her own and walked behind Sang Ruo to massage her shoulders.
After a long while, Sang Ruo finally put down her embroidery: "Why are you being so attentive for no reason?"
"Hehe." Sang Jiang chuckled twice. "How's it going? Are you comfortable? I've been feeling a bit embarrassed staying here for so long, haven't I?
Sang Ruo raised an eyebrow: "Want to leave the palace?"
Sang Jiang stopped what she was doing, sat down next to her, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Sigh." Sang Ruo sighed and pretended to be embarrassed.
"It's not that it's impossible, but since you were left behind by the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid we'd need her permission."
Upon hearing this, Sang Jiang deflated like a punctured balloon; it seemed unlikely that the Empress Dowager would agree.
She thought about it for a long time after she got back. Although the Southern Tour sounded fun, her father wasn't the emperor. Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. As a tragic supporting character, she didn't have the protagonist's halo.
But... never mind!
"Does Your Majesty have any plans to go on a southern tour?" Sang Jiang asked, her mouth full of osmanthus cake, her words somewhat muffled.
However, Sang Ruo still understood what she was saying, and without hesitation, she shook her head and said, "No interest."
If I go, I'll have to ride in the same carriage as Long Jingchen, and we might even have to stay together at night. It's not as comfortable as staying in the palace.
She wasn't too disappointed to see Sang Jiang reject her; it was expected.
Have you ever been there?
Sang Ruo: ...
Doesn't she know whether she's been there or not?
"Was the Southern Tour fun?"
Sang Ruo: ...
"Sigh, I'm so pitiful. First I fell into the water, then my engagement was called off, and then I was inexplicably sent to the palace and placed under house arrest. Now I can't even go on the southern tour..."
Sang Ruo: ...
She had made up her mind, and she would remain silent no matter what Sang Jiang said.
Jingren Palace.
"You said the Emperor went to see Sang Jiang again and talked about the southern tour?" The Empress narrowed her eyes and looked sharply at the little palace maid kneeling below.
The palace maid nodded: "I heard it with my own ears. The Emperor said that if Sang Jiang wants to go on a southern tour, she should ask the Imperial Concubine."
Upon hearing this, the Empress clenched her fists tightly. After a long while, she nodded and said, "I understand. You may go back now and continue to keep an eye on things."
"Yes, this servant will take her leave."
The moment the palace maid left, the Empress's expression changed drastically: "Bitch! That bitch Sang Jiang! Where is my brother? When is he coming! This time, I will definitely not let her off!"
"Your Highness!" Granny Lin interrupted her in time.
"What's wrong? I can't even speak in my own palace! This time I must..."
