The Emperor glanced at her and said irritably to Eunuch Li, "Consort Shu has been disrespectful and offended me in front of the palace. From today onwards, she is confined to Changchun Palace and is not allowed to step out of the palace gates without my permission."
Consort Shu was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. As soon as she did, she shouted at the Emperor, "No! Your Majesty! No! I know I was wrong, Your Majesty! At least wait for my Luo Ying to return!"
The Emperor didn't even want to see her anymore, so he waved to Eunuch Li, signaling him to take her away.
Eunuch Li immediately summoned two maids who, one on each side, dragged Consort Shu out.
As soon as Consort Shu left, Consort Xian let go of Nangong Huai's hand and walked towards Sang Jiang. She tried to take Sang Jiang's hand, but Sang Jiang dodged her.
Consort Xian smiled awkwardly: "Jiang Jiang..."
"Alright, you may go back now. I have some things to say to the princess."
She was interrupted by the Emperor before she could finish speaking.
Consort Xian's smile froze on her face. She withdrew her hand and glanced at Nangong Huai: "This concubine takes her leave."
Nangong Hui followed closely behind her, saying, "Your subject will also take his leave now."
The emperor had no desire to say anything more to them, and he simply waved his hand at the two of them.
After the two left, he walked to Sang Jiang's side with red eyes: "Jiang'er... Father really... If you don't want to go, Father will protect you even if it costs him everything."
Sang Jiang pursed her lips and gently shook her head: "Your subject is willing to go."
The Emperor looked at her for a long time before sighing, "Fine, if that's how it is, then go. But remember, never get involved with Long Jingyu. He's not someone you can control."
Sang Jiang touched the jade pendant on her sleeve with her hand inside, and nodded slightly.
The more she liked Long Jingyu, the less she could be with him.
She firmly believed that she would return to the modern world one day, so she wanted to nip the seed of love in the bud as soon as possible.
The Emperor saw her nod, and his eyes reddened even more. This was the first time his eyes had reddened since the Empress's death. He took Sang Jiang's hand and held it tightly in his hand: "Jiang'er, you must remember, no matter what happens in the future, Xifeng will always be your home, and you will always be Princess Mingyue of my Xifeng Kingdom. I will always be there for you."
Sang Jiang couldn't help but tear up when she heard his words.
Her father had said something similar to her before. He told her that if she suffered any injustice outside, she should go back and tell him that he would always be her strong support.
Sang Jiang sniffed and hugged the Emperor: "Father, don't worry, I know everything."
The Emperor nodded: "Good, good!"
He said "okay" twice in a row, but he held Sang Jiang tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go for even a moment.
...
It was already evening when Sang Jiang boarded the carriage leaving the palace. After being subjected to all sorts of formalities during the day, she could barely keep her eyes open.
Chunhe glanced at her, then at the palace that was receding into the distance, and couldn't help but quietly wipe away her tears. She didn't dare to make a sound, afraid of disturbing Sang Jiang.
Sang Jiang handed her the handkerchief in her hand: "You don't necessarily have to come with me."
Chunhe returned the handkerchief to Sangjiang, picked up her own handkerchief, and wiped her tears: "It's alright. Ever since I followed the princess, I've decided that I belong to the princess in life and in death. I've been an orphan since childhood, and I'm grateful to the crown prince for taking me in. It's my blessing to be with the princess now..."
