Chapter 179: Pleasant Surprise

Gu Ruoyun flashed a smile at her defeated expression.

He waved his hand and dismissed the crowd.

Su Yan reluctantly took one last look at the lotus pod in his hand and asked, “What have you been busy with recently? I haven’t seen you properly in two months. Tell me, what have you been up to?”

Gu Ruoyun’s expression darkened and said, “You’ll find out tonight.”

Su Yan was unhappy with him for keeping her in suspense and was anxious to find out. She had tried all kinds of threats and enticements but he had not relented.

In the end, she had even tried to use a honey trap, but it still did not work.

Su Yan lay gloomily on the small bed because Gu Ruoyun had disappeared again.

She sighed.

Chu Tao, who had just entered, heard her. She smiled and asked, “Princess Consort, why are you sighing again?”

Su Yan did not hide the truth from her and asked, “What did Gu Ruoyun do behind my back?”

Chu Tao could not figure it out either and replied, “Didn’t the Royal Highness say that you would find out tonight?”

Su Yan looked at the sky and said, “There are still a few hours before nightfall.”

Chun Xia also walked in and laughed out loud when she heard this. She said, “I think Princess Consort is not trying to find out the answer, she’s thinking of His Royal Highness.”

Su Yan’s face was filled with shame and anger. She threw a blanket over and said, “You servant girl, you’re getting more and more impudent.”

Chun Xia begged for mercy while Chu Tao watched them play around.

For the first time, she did not say anything to stop Chun Xia from being reckless.

After Su Yan had made such a scene, she no longer hesitated. She pulled the two of them into the small kitchen to cook something delicious.

The moon gradually rose to the top of the sky.

Gu Ruoyun still had not appeared. Su Yan was starting to get anxious again.

He could not be lying to her, right?

Chu Tao had already come to ask Su Yan to wash up. When she saw Su Yan lying on the windowsill in a gloomy mood, her expression froze.

She quietly went out of the door and went to the front hall to gather some information.

Just as she stepped out of the door, she met An Yi and Jin Tong.

An Yi said, “His Royal highness has invited the Princess Consort to a place.”

Chu Tao nodded with a smile and quickly went to inform Su Yan.

“Princess Consort, His Royal Highness invites you to a place.”

Su Yan was stunned and even more puzzled. However, she still quickly packed up and left the residence.

An Yi and Jin Tong were already waiting beside the carriage.

Su Yan said in surprise, “Do we still need to take the carriage?”

An Yi was as cold as ever. He only nodded and made a welcoming gesture.

Jin Tong grinned and said, “Princess Consort, it’s better for you to quickly get on the carriage.”

Su Yan could only get on the carriage.

The carriage went further and further away. If it wasn’t for An Yi who was driving the carriage outside, Su Yan would have thought that she had been betrayed.

Along the way, Su Yan was trying to get information from Jin Tong. It was obvious that she knew something.

Jin Tong gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

Su Yan could only give up.

Jin Tong said helplessly, “Anyway, you’ll know in a while. Do you still care about this little bit of time?”

Su Yan knew that what she said was right, but she still wanted to know sooner.

The carriage stopped. At this time, the sky had completely darkened.

Su Yan got off the carriage, but she did not know where she was.

There was a large open space around her. The sky was dark and she could not see clearly. She could only feel that she was stepping on sand.

An empty field with sand, this is…

A military camp!

Su Yan had just figured it out when she realized that she was the only one here.

An Yi and the others had disappeared without a trace. Even Chu Tao had been forcefully dragged away by them.

Su Yan turned around and looked around. She was even more confused as to what Gu Ruoyun was up to.

Flames suddenly lit up the surroundings.

Su Yan was so excited by the sudden light that she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she could see that there was a circle of soldiers standing around her. They were all holding torches in their hands and everything around them was lit up.

Gu Ruoyun was standing opposite her as she slowly walked over. He was wearing wedding attire.

Su Yan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Gu Ruoyun walked up to her and said, “During the wedding, I did not give you a complete wedding due to my health problems. I’ll return it to you today.”
