Thinking this, Xuan Yuanqing's heart clenched.

He raised his wine cup again and drank a cup of wine.

At this moment, Su Yan suddenly stood up and whispered a few words in Yuwen Xu's ear.

Then he left his seat.

Almost irresistibly, Xuan Yuanqing also stood up.

He knew this was his only chance to be alone with her.

He clenched his fists and couldn't help but glance in Yuwen Xu's direction.

It was as if they had made up their minds.

Then, he left his position.

What did Su Yan go to do?

Hmm... she ate too much, and the dishes on the table were changed a third time.

No one else ate that much, only she did.

So I plan to come out for a while, rest, and then go back to continue eating.

As we wandered around, we arrived at the Imperial Garden.

The peonies in the Imperial Garden were all incredibly beautiful, a vibrant red.

Under the moonlight, if you smell carefully, you can still smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

Mmm, it smells really good.

As she was thinking this, Su Yan bent down.

I took a closer look.

This scene, viewed from a distance, is absolutely beautiful.

A woman dressed in white stood amidst the flowers in the garden, her eyes lowered as she inhaled their fragrance and smiled gently.

Under the moonlight, she looked like a fairy descending to earth.

But this fairy is a little different...

Suddenly, the 'fairy' opened her mouth and bit off most of the peony flower in one go.

The petals fell to the ground in fright.

A few petals remain on the peony branch, swaying sadly in the cool breeze.

Su Yan stood still as if nothing had happened.

Chew slowly.

Hmm, the taste is still just average.

It's no different from the flowers in the Prince's Mansion.

Her eyes swept around, and well, there was nothing left to eat.

We've been outside for a while already, shouldn't we go back and continue eating?

After thinking about it, I decided to go back.

Before they had taken more than two steps, they saw a person dressed in foreign clothes walking down the path.

Su Yan didn't pay any attention and continued walking forward.

However, the man's eyes lit up when he saw her.

Then he stood in front of her and didn't move.

Su Yan found it inexplicable and decided to avoid it.

But then they suddenly heard the man's slightly agitated voice.

"How has Miss Su Yan been lately?"

Su Yan glanced at him, um... she didn't recognize him.

She nodded casually, walked around him, and headed down a side path.

But as soon as she left, the man became even more agitated.

He tried to reach out and grab Su Yan's arm, but she dodged him.

She stopped, puzzled.

"What's up?"

Xuan Yuanqing probably didn't expect her to be so cold.

After organizing his words for a long time, he covered his chest with one hand and put the other behind his back, giving Su Yan an apologetic bow.

“Young lady, I apologize for what happened that day. It was truly unintentional; I didn’t know that the snake belonged to you.”

The mere mention of snakes brought back memories for Su Yan.

This is the person who put Xiaohong in a bag and tossed her around repeatedly.

Not only that, but as if he couldn't understand human speech, he insisted on breaking Xiaohong's two front teeth.

Su Yan's breath was flat

"Yes, I accept your apology."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But this person... doesn't seem to want her to leave.

So much so that he immediately blocked her way.

"Please don't rush off, young lady. I just have a few words I'd like to say to you."

Su Yan looked at him and frowned.

The food is getting cold, isn't it?

She still prefers to eat it hot.

"Speak quickly."
