As Su Yan read the letter, the more numb she felt. She felt that Gu Ruoyun was becoming more and more like her mother’s tone. She was not allowed to do this or that.
Su Yan could not stop cursing in her heart but anyone could see the smile on her face.
She did not go out either. She opened the window and shouted to Chu Tao outside, “Chu Tao, Chu Tao, bring me a brush and ink.”
Chu Tao and the others looked at each other and said with a smile, “Yes, Princess Consort.”
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, “Forget it, I’ll go to the study by myself.”
As she said that, she was about to rush out of the room. Just as she took a step out, without waiting for Chu Tao’s reminder, her body froze. She consciously put on her shoes and put on a coat before going out.
Chu Tao’s hand, which was about to help her, stopped in mid-air, wondering why she was so obedient on that day.
Su Yan rushed to the imperial study.
Coincidentally, Nalan Cui was also inside. Su Yan was used to it. Except going to court and sleep, he would stay in the imperial study to read.
Su Yan greeted him and sat behind her desk.
After a while, Chu Tao caught up with her while panting and bowed to Nalan Cui.
Nalan Cui asked curiously, “Sister Yan’er, why are you in such a hurry?”
He saw that Su Yan was writing something with her head lowered, so he directly asked Chu Tao.
Chu Tao bowed and said, “Your Majesty, a letter was sent by the Lord. Princess Consort is probably writing a reply.”
There was a smile in her voice.
Nalan Cui raised his eyebrows in understanding. So, that was the case.
Su Yan was concentrating on fighting with the brush and ink. She frowned and looked like she had a deep hatred.
She finally managed to write a little but threw the ball of paper away when she was dissatisfied.
Chu Tao was helping her grind the ink and clean up the discarded paper.
By the time Su Yan had finally finished writing a letter to her satisfaction, the sky had already darkened.
She looked at the letter in her hand with satisfaction. When she thought of the expression on Gu Ruoyun’s face when he received the letter, she could not help but chuckle.
Nalan Cui suddenly asked, “What did Sister write?”
Only then did Su Yan realize that Nalan Cui was already standing behind her.
Recalling the contents of the letter, she quickly covered the letter under a pile of waste paper out of shyness.
She replied, “Nothing, nothing. Why aren’t you busy?”
Seeing that Nalan Cui was still very interested, she could only change the topic.
Nalan Cui did not make things difficult for her and said, “I’ve been reading for a few days. It’s time to relax.”
Su Yan was a little surprised, but then she said with relief, “That’s right. Studying should be a combination of work and rest.”
She thought of something and said excitedly, “Why don’t we go out of the palace to play?”
Nalan Cui naturally agreed.
Su Yan stood up and took two steps, then stepped back and said with a smile, “Wait for me at the door. I’ll be there in a while.”
Nalan Cui glanced at the letter that was still under a pile of paper and nodded before leaving.
Su Yan quickly asked Chu Tao to bring over an envelope. Then, she hurriedly put the letter in and handed it to Chu Tao for her to send the letter out.
When she reached the door, Su Yan stopped in her tracks. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Nalan Cui walked in and asked, “Sister, is there anything that you haven’t done?”
Su Yan only felt that she had stuffed something into the envelope just now, but it was probably an illusion. Seeing that Chu Tao was already far away, there was no need to call her back, so she shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
The two of them left the palace.
One of them was Princess Consort Guang Pingwang, and the other was the emperor. They naturally could not go out carelessly.
However, the two of them were unwilling to make a big fuss, so the inner guards were protecting them secretly.
Su Yan and Nalan Cui walked aimlessly on the street. When they saw the crowd running in the same direction, they followed.
There were many people surrounding each other, completely blocking the scene inside.
