She walked closer to take a look. Nalan Cui’s small figure was still buried on the desk that was taller than others, reading a book.
Su Yan felt a little guilty and walked in with a light cough.
Nalan Cui heard the voice and smiled as if he had just seen her. “Sister, are you done?”
Su Yan nodded guiltily. She thought of something and took out a small pastry and handed it to him. “This is the osmanthus cake that I made personally with picked osmanthus. Try It.”
Nalan Cui looked at her, who was much more attentive and smiled.
Su Yan saw that he had eaten the pastry and rubbed her hands together, saying, “It’s okay if you can’t finish reading these books. I will put in a good word for you tomorrow. You have really worked hard during this short period of time. It’s his fault for assigning the task.”
Nalan Cui smiled and agreed.
Su Yan also smiled and pulled him up, saying, “Let’s go. We will go and rest. You are still young and growing. You have to go to bed early and wake up early. Otherwise, you won’t grow in the future.”
Nalan Cui was in a good mood as he listened to her nagging along the way.
Nalan Cui watched her enter the bedroom before walking towards his own.
Without Su Yan by his side, his expression instantly darkened.
He had long finished reading those books. All he wanted was for Su Yan to care about him.
When Gu Ruoyun returned the next day, Su Yan’s mind would be on him again, right?
His hand was unconsciously pinching a flower. In the end, the eunuch cried out in surprise and saw that the flower had been crushed by his pinching.
He glared coldly at the eunuch who had just spoken.
The eunuch quickly knelt down and apologized in fear and trepidation, “Your Majesty, please spare my life.”
Nalan Cui crouched down and pinched his chin, “I didn’t punish you for offending me. Why should I spare your life?”
The eunuch thought that Nalan Cui would not mind this matter and was just about to thank him.
Nalan Cui continued, “Since you’re looking for death, I’ll grant you your wish.”
The eunuch was instantly terrified. Before he could say anything, the guard behind him covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Nalan Cui coldly took out a handkerchief and fiercely wiped the fingers that had touched him. He calmed the rage in his heart and raised his head again, looking like a simple young man.
Gu Ruoyun went straight to the imperial palace after he returned to the capital. Before this, Guang Pingwang had always gone straight to Guang Residence after his expeditions. When had he ever come to the imperial palace to report?
However, when the palace servants saw that he had gone straight to the harem, they knew the reason.
It was because of Princess Consort Guang Pingwang.
At this moment, everyone in the palace was envious of the love between Guang Pingwang and his wife.
Su Yan was alone in the imperial garden. When she heard some movement, she turned around and saw a familiar figure. It was Liu Runyan, who had saved her last time.
Liu Runyan was not surprised when he saw her. He quickly walked over and said, “Princess Consort Guang Pingwang, we meet again.”
Su Yan looked at him in confusion and asked, “Why are you in the imperial palace?”
Could it be that he was also a chancellor?
Liu Runyan saw through her thoughts and said, “I have something important to tell Guang Pingwang.”
Su Yan asked in confusion, “Then why aren’t you looking for him?”
He smiled bitterly and said, “If His Royal Highness sees me, he’ll probably kill me.”
Su Yan wanted to ask more but he suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her into the bushes.
He quickly whispered, “Princess Consort, wait a moment. I really have something very important to do.”
Gu Ruoyun did not see Su Yan. After asking the servants, he went to the imperial garden.
The imperial garden was completely empty. However, there were pastries on the stone table and half a cup of tea. This meant that there was someone here just now.
Su Yan saw him and wanted to struggle but she was hugged even tighter by Liu Runyan who was behind her. She could not move.
She could only watch as Gu Ruoyun walked past her.
After a while, Gu Ruoyun returned.
Liu Runyan’s body tensed up again. He must not be discovered.
Gu Ruoyun’s expression did not change. He merely waved his hand and a black shadow appeared in front of him. The two of them communicated with each other but their voices were too soft for others to hear clearly..
