Thankfully, the moonlight made the path visible, or wandering outside this late at night would scare a person to death.
"Whoosh—" Something suddenly flew past behind her.
Su Yan immediately turned around, but she saw nothing.
"Princess, did you hear that too?" Jin Hua moved closer to Su Yan and whispered.
At the same time, she subtly positioned her body in front of Su Yan, ready to protect her at a moment's notice.
Su Yan nodded slightly, her eyes thoughtful.
If she wasn't mistaken, someone had flown past behind them.
Could it be a flying thief?
"Let's go." She turned and continued walking forward. As long as they didn't bother her, she would not care about this matter.
Upon her safe return to the house, she heard that Chu Yuxiao had not yet returned.
Su Yan sneered. It seemed he wouldn't come back tonight; hadn't he said that he was going to thoroughly satisfy Liu Sisi?
Only half a day had passed, surely not enough to satisfy that woman; he would need to add an entire night for that.
The only question was whether Chu Yuxiao's body could handle it; he better not work himself to death!
"Princess, are you thinking about the Marquis?" Jin Hua cautiously asked after Jin Lan had left.
"Is my expression that obvious?" Su Yan asked, surprised.
Jin Hua was speechless. Ever since leaving the Yihong Pavilion, you've had a look of gritted teeth. If it's not the Marquis, then who could it be?
"Princess." Jin Hua looked around vigilantly and whispered into her ear.
"Please don't fall in love with the Marquis."
"Why?" Su Yan asked instinctively.
Jin Hua pulled out a yellow envelope from her sleeve and stuffed it into Su Yan's hand.
"Princess, don't read this now. Read it when you're alone at night. After you've read it, remember to burn the letter, or else you'll invite endless trouble."
A chill ran down Su Yan's spine, and she gave Jin Hua a puzzled look.
She was being so secretive; what exactly was she hiding? Besides, Jin Hua seemed to be quite complicated...
In the solitude of the evening, Su Yan solemnly opened the letter.
It was a letter from the Empress, and the gist of it was that after regaining her senses, she should covertly monitor Chu Yuxiao's every move and report back to her at any time.
