Su Yan was stunned. Jin Tong has become the empress of the Southern Kingdom?
She looked at Gu Ruoyun and An Yi. They were not surprised and Su Yan knew that now was not the time to ask. She could only follow the two and leave.
Gu Ruoyun walked past Jin Tong and said, “I, Gu Ruoyun, owe you a favor today. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Imperial Kingdom and look for me.”
Jin Tong’s expression changed but she did not say anything. She waved his hand and asked the soldiers to open a path for them.
An Yi walked past her but the two of them did not speak. They did not even make eye contact.
After the three of them left, they heard in an inn on their way that the new empress of the Southern Kingdom was going to marry Young Master Cao from the number one noble family in the Southern Kingdom.
Su Yan’s first reaction was to raise her head to look at An Yi but he did not react. He continued to drink his tea calmly.
Gu Ruoyun knocked on Su Yan’s forehead and said, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat.”
Su Yan endured it and said, “Some things are lost forever if you miss them.”
An Yi tightened his grip on his chopsticks. This change made Su Yan smile and said, “Ruoyun, let’s go back.”
Gu Ruoyun sighed. He could only pamper her own princess consort.
The three of them rushed back to the Southern Kingdom. As soon as they entered the city, they saw red paper plastered all over the streets, signifying the wedding of the new empress of the Southern Kingdom.
They checked into an inn and found out that today was their wedding. Su Yan was puzzled, “Why are they in such a hurry?”
Gu Ruoyun knew what was going on but he did not explain. He only looked at An Yi and said, “From now on, it’s up to you. You don’t have to follow us.”
An Yi’s body stiffened as he walked out of the room.
At night, Su Yan, who had been keeping an eye on the room next door, heard the sound of the window being opened and immediately said, “Ruoyun, quick, let’s follow.”
Gu Ruoyun sighed helplessly and said, “Are you that interested in other people’s affairs?”
Su Yan pulled him and said, “I’m worried. Let’s go and take a look. I won’t make a sound.”
Gu Ruoyun did not believe her but he could only bring her along with him.
The two of them arrived at the imperial palace of the Southern Kingdom. They found the empress’s bedroom in the imperial palace and saw a black figure standing on the roof in a daze.
Su Yan and Gu Ruoyun had been here for quite some time. They stood on a big tree next to the bedroom and looked at An Yi who was motionless. Su Yan was so anxious that she wanted to kick him down.
Fifteen minutes later, An Yi finally broke through the window and entered the room.
Gu Ruoyun brought Su Yan up to the roof and opened a stone slab to observe the situation below.
Jin Tong saw the figure that had suddenly appeared. She raised the whip in her hand and attacked An Yi. An Yi grabbed each and every one of her attacks.
When she saw that it was An Yi, she looked a little dazed and asked, “What are you doing here?”
As soon as she said that, she realized that she was actually sobbing.
An Yi pursed his lips and asked, “Are you really going to marry that Cao Jiangcheng?”
Although he did not seem to care about it, he had already thoroughly investigated the Cao family.
Jin Tong let go of the whip in her hand and walked to the bedside to sit properly. She said, “Yes.”
An Yi looked at Jin Tong, who was dressed in a red wedding dress. Her delicate and beautiful face looked even more delicate under the contrast of the bright red color.
He did not say anything. Jin Tong asked, “Is that what you came here to ask?”
An Yi frowned and said, “Yes.”
Jin Tong chuckled and said, “Then you can leave.”
After a long while, An Yi said hoarsely, “Can you not marry?”
Jin Tong’s eyes turned warm and she quickly turned her head and said, “No.”
An Yi lowered his head and left through the window without saying a word.
Jin Tong could no longer hold it in and covered her face as she cried bitterly.
An Yi stood outside the window and heard her voice.
Su Yan frowned and was about to go down when Gu Ruoyun stopped her, “What did you promise me just now?”
Su Yan replied, “If they became a couple, I naturally wouldn’t interfere. However, it’s obvious that their behavior is wrong..”
