Chapter 183 - Black Heart (1/2)
Su Yan was in the imperial study with Nalan Cui, reading books that could bury him.
Su Yan frowned, ”Why are you reading so many books?”
Nalan Cui's eyes flashed, ”Guang Pingwang asked me to read these. He said that I should finish reading them before he returns.”
Su Yan heard that it was Gu Ruoyun who had arranged it, so she nodded and asked, ”How long will he be gone for?”
She casually flipped through the thicker and thicker books and thought that he would be gone for at least a few months this time.
Nalan Cui replied, ”If it's soon, half a month.”
Su Yan widened her eyes in shock and asked, ”Half a month? You want to read so many books in half a month?”
Nalan Cui nodded obediently as if he was not in a difficult position at all.
However, he suddenly raised his head with a faint look of exhaustion on his face.
When Su Yan saw this, her heart ached, ”Did you not rest well last night?”
Nalan Cui replied, ”I slept for half an hour this morning.”
Didn't this mean that he did not sleep at all?
Su Yan could not help but feel a little angry. He was still a child and Gu Ruoyun really did not care about his health at all.
She said, ”Take your time. There's no rush. If you really can't finish it, I'll help you plead for mercy.”
Nalan Cui smiled, ”Thank you, big sister. But I know that Guang Pingwang is doing this for my good. I'll read it carefully.”
Su Yan lovingly stroked his head and said emotionally, ”Just you wait. Sister will make you some delicious food. You've lost weight in the past few days.”
Nalan Cui watched her run out in a hurry and a smile flashed across his eyes.
He smiled triumphantly and continued to read the book in his hand.
Gu Ruoyun was still on the road and had no idea that a little fox was stepping on him to climb to the top.
A few days passed in a row and Su Yan was bored as she passed the time in the Imperial Garden.
The sight of a hundred flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden was extremely beautiful. However, one would get tired of seeing the same scenery too much.
