Chapter 72: Why Did the Princess Consort Marry You

Of course, she avoided the dangerous details. Otherwise, these two girls would cry again.

An Yi left Su Yan’s courtyard and went to Gu Ruoyun’s room next door.

“Your Highness.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded and continued to read the letter in his hand. Just like Su Yan had said, the Imperial Court had started to be in turmoil recently.

It seems that his ‘unconsciousness’ had made many people’s minds come alive.

It was precisely because of this that it had become more difficult for him to find the person who had poisoned him in the past.

Gu Ruoyun looked at An Yi’s hesitant expression.

He found it strange that such a rich expression had appeared on this expressionless face for the first time.

He asked in amusement, “What has made you so worried?”

An Yi paused and replied, “Wasn’t Your Highness wondering why the Princess Consort was so determined to marry you all of a sudden?”

Gu Ruoyun nodded. He had indeed been puzzled before.

But now, he had an answer.

An Yi continued, “I think I know the reason.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled, “So you’re worried about this sort of thing. I’ve known the answer for a long time.”

An Yi looked at Gu Ruoyun in surprise, “Your Highness, you’ve known about the affairs between Doctor An and the Princess Consort since long ago?”

Gu Ruoyun was stunned, “What does it have to do with Gu An? Didn’t the Princess Consort marry me because she adores me?”

Looking at Gu Ruoyun’s confident face, An Yi was suddenly at a loss for words.

There was a conflicted look on his face.

Seeing how awkward An Yi’s expression was, Gu Ruoyun’s expression slowly turned solemn.

“What did you discover?”

An Yi sighed in relief when he heard the question. He then told Gu Ruoyun everything he had seen today.

The more Gu Ruoyun listened, the more he frowned.

He glanced at the serious An Yi. He wouldn’t have believed these words if someone else than An Yi had told him so.

However, An Yi would not speak nonsense. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have said such a thing.

But Gu Ruoyun still refused to give up and asked, “You saw it clearly?”

An Yi nodded.

Gu Ruoyun pondered for a moment before he looked at An Yi and asked, “So you think that the little girl married me for Gu An?”

An Yi replied, “I don’t have any evidence, but Miracle Doctor An and the Princess Consort should be old acquaintances. The atmosphere between them is a little strange, as if they have some sort of secret.”

Gu Ruoyun did not immediately come to a conclusion on this matter. He waved his hand and let An Yi leave.

After Su Yan had tidied up, she lay down on the bed comfortably.

She then remembered that she had not gone to see Gu Ruoyun today.

However, she remembered that he had already regained consciousness, so it did not matter whether she went to see him or not. With that, she went to sleep with an easy conscience.

She slept with a peace of mind. Ever since she had met Gu Ruoyun, Su Yan had felt a sense of security.

She had been worried about what would happen in the Imperial Court previously, but she was just a woman and could not come in contact with such affairs. However, all would be well if Gu Ruoyun was here. Su Yan, who had let go of her biggest worry, fell into a deep sleep.

A certain someone who had been waiting for Su Yan to come over in the neighboring courtyard had opened and closed his eyes several times.

He opened his eyes once again and saw that it was already very late.

Gu Ruoyun got off the bed with a displeased expression.

In a flash, he arrived at Su Yan’s room.

When he saw the woman that was already sleeping soundly, his eyes darkened completely.

He reached out and pinched the delicate nose of the person on the bed. Su Yan struggled uncomfortably. Her nose was blocked and she could only open her red lips to breathe.

However, breathing through her mouth was clearly not as comfortable as doing so with her nose. She furrowed her eyebrows.

In the end, Gu Ruoyun could not bear torturing her so he let go.

Seeing that Su Yan did not wake up even with his actions, he chuckled, “Little lazy pig.”

His gaze shifted to her red lips, which she hadn’t close in time, and his eyes darkened.

He bent down and bit her gently. Su Yan moaned and turned her head to the side.

Gu Ruoyun’s lips landed on her earlobe. He took the opportunity to kiss her and said fiercely in her ear, “No matter what the reason is, you’ve already become my Princess Consort, and you’ll be my Princess Consort for the rest of my life.”
