He was now somewhat grateful for the purse; thankfully, Chunhe had forced this evidence on him, otherwise Long Jingchen would probably have eaten him alive.
Your Highness, please don't blame me for taking the bullet for you; I simply couldn't stop it.
Long Jingchen took the purse from his hand, glanced at it a few times, and then threw it back into his hand: "Since it was a gift from the Imperial Concubine, you can take it."
"This servant thanks Your Majesty for the reward." Yang Qi took a few steps back and bowed in thanks.
Long Jingchen seemed to be in a good mood, and he slightly smiled, "You should thank the Imperial Concubine."
Seeing that he was clearly pleased, Yang Qi quickly stepped forward and continued to flatter him: "Your Majesty is right. The Empress is all yours, so what belongs to the Empress is also yours. This servant thanks you as much as the Empress thanks you."
"Hmph." Long Jingchen snorted at him, but it was clearly not very powerful.
Yang Qi smiled broadly, but didn't say anything.
Long Jingchen glanced at him and then picked up the memorial to read it in a good mood.
It was already past midnight when all the memorials were read.
He stretched and slowly got up to loosen his muscles.
Yang Qi shook his head, still feeling drowsy, as he watched her get up: "Where will Your Majesty be sleeping tonight?"
Long Jingchen thought for a moment and waved his hand at him: "You can go back first. I need to go out for a bit."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight outside.
Yang Qi nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong. By the time he realized what was going on, Long Jingchen had already disappeared.
Yang Qi stood at the door, speechless as he looked at the empty courtyard.
He paused for a moment, yawned, then turned and walked back.
If nothing unexpected happens, his master must have gone to find Princess Mingyue. He wondered why the usually taciturn Long Jingchen had been asking about the Prime Minister's residence earlier. Now he realized that he wasn't asking about the Prime Minister's residence at all, but was obviously trying to find out about Princess Mingyue.
After leaving the palace, Long Jingchen arrived at the Prime Minister's residence with ease. However, upon arriving, he encountered a problem: he did not know where Yunshuang Courtyard was.
He had never heard of any Yunshuang Courtyard in the Prime Minister's residence before.
He moved back and forth in the Prime Minister's residence.
"What are you afraid of? That old bastard Sang Hongfu doesn't have time to care about you right now."
"Yes, cousin is right. Rong'er loves you."
"I love Rong'er too."
Long Jingchen raised an eyebrow and left. He had no interest in other people's family affairs, nor in eavesdropping.
He looked around in the moonlight. It was an abandoned, empty courtyard. The surrounding area was very spacious. Sang Jiang had returned this time in the name of a princess. Even if Sang Hongfu had the audacity, he would never allow her to stay here.
He searched further inside, and only when he saw the three characters "Yunshuang Courtyard" did he understand why he had never seen this courtyard before.
This courtyard is right behind Sang Hongfu's courtyard and very close to it. He had never opened it before and thought it was an abandoned courtyard. Now it seems that this courtyard probably has some stories to tell.
He climbed over the wall and immediately saw a maidservant guarding the courtyard outside.
He stopped on a tree in front of the house, stared at the window for a long time until he was sure the person inside was really asleep, and then quietly climbed in through the window.
He tiptoed to the bedside and, sure enough, saw Sang Jiang sleeping soundly.
Upon seeing the face he had longed for day and night, his first reaction was to reach out and touch it…
