Chapter 109: An Inexplicable Stabbing Pain in Her Heart

Su Yan closed her eyes in a daze. In the next second, she was jolted awake.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and said, “Why didn’t you call me? I am going to send you off.”

Gu Ruoyun held her flustered shoulders and said, “It’s alright if you don’t send me off.”

Su Yan hugged his waist and did not say anything. It was not comfortable for her to hug him in his armor, but Su Yan still did not want to let go.

After a few short moments, Su Yan let go. She ignored his attempts to stop her and insisted on getting up to send him off.

Standing at the city gate and watching his back as he rode on his horse, Su Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. She weakly supported herself against the city wall before she could stabilize her body.

An Yi suddenly appeared beside her and asked, “Princess, what’s the matter?”

Su Yan shook her head. She wanted to say that she was fine, but the sharp pain in her heart made her unable to speak.

After a while, the pain in her heart slowly disappeared. When Su Yan returned to the imperial residence, An Yi immediately called the imperial residence’s doctor over to take a look at Su Yan.

The doctor took her pulse and reached out to touch his white beard. He said, “There is nothing wrong with the princess’ body.”

Su Yan asked, “I just felt a burst of pain in my heart. What is the reason?”

The doctor looked at her face and shook his head. “The princess is in good health. Maybe it’s because the Royal Highness went on an expedition and was worried about him.”

It could only be explained in this way, but Su Yan still felt uneasy.

After sending the doctor away, Su Yan came to Gu An.

Gu An was still dressed in white. She slowly tidied up the medicinal herbs on the shelf. It seemed that every time she came, she was tidying up the medicinal herbs. Day after day, she did not feel bored at all.

Su Yan stood quietly at the door, feeling much better.

After a long while, Gu An was the first to notice Su Yan’s presence. She asked calmly, “When did the Princess arrive?”

Su Yan thought that perhaps she was worried because of Gu Ruoyun’s expedition.

She did not explain her purpose for coming. She shook her head and said, “I’ve come to see you.”

Gu An was startled and allowed her to come in.

Looking at her expression, she said, “You don’t look well.”

Su Yan leaned on the stone table in the courtyard and said gloomily, “Yes, so do you want to accompany me to eat barbecue?”

Looking at the person who had a sad expression just now and her eyes that sparkled when she talked about food, a trace of a smile flashed through Gu An’s eyes. She could not help but nod.

Su Yan’s eyes lit up. She pulled her hand and walked out. As they walked, she said, “Let’s go now. I heard that the capital recently opened a very delicious barbecue restaurant. Let’s go and have a taste.”

Gu An did not have time to react before she pulled her this way.

An Yi followed behind them. When he saw Su Yan and Gu An’s hand together, he furrowed his brows.

He took a step forward and separated the two of them.

Su Yan looked at the hand that had suddenly been severed and at An Yi behind her. She was somewhat dumbfounded.

An Yi’s face was still expressionless without any explanation.

Su Yan said, “You also want to eat barbecued meat?”

An Yi nodded with a slightly stiff expression.

Su Yan’s eyes lit up and she said excitedly, “I didn’t expect you to be a foodie.”

She patted his shoulder and said, “Haha, in the future, if you follow me, I’ll take you to eat all over the capital.”

An Yi’s desire to live was very strong, so he took a step back and avoided her hand.

Su Yan didn’t care. The three of them left the manor together and headed straight for the barbecue restaurant that was said to be very delicious.

The name of the barbecue restaurant was very artistic. It was called “Yu Qin Zhai”

There was an endless stream of people coming in and out of the door. It looked like business was booming.

Su Yan did not put on airs. She excitedly led the two of them to line up.

She even turned to the two of them and said, “This kind of very famous restaurant is the most delicious if you go through the queue to eat it.”

An Yi and Gu An could not understand where her excitement came from.
