After a few months apart, Nanzhao Suya looked much thinner, but luckily, her body was not weakened.

Su Yan figured she should be dying to win over Chu Yuxiao’s heart.

If that’s true, then she would make the decision to let her go out more and find her a suitable husband.

Well, she thought that General Gao’s younger brother, Gao Sheji, seemed quite a good match.

With the victory in this war, the young deputy General Gao might get promoted, and he would be a perfect match for Nanzhao Suya.

After the formalities, Nanzhao Suya stated her purpose; she wanted to leave the palace to offer incense at Pufo Temple for her deceased father and mother.

Su Yan searched her memory and remembered that Qingming Festival was approaching.

After all, she had spent a few days as father-daughter and mother-daughter with the previous dynasty’s Emperor and Empress. Out of affection and courtesy, she should agree to let Su Ya go offer incense.

"By then, have some guards accompany you to ensure your safety along the way," Su Yan replied.

Su Ya knew this was a sign of agreement, and a flash of joy quickly passed through her eyes.

"Thank you, Empress, for granting me this."

Then, without saying anything further, she took her leave.

Watching her departing figure, Su Yan smiled slightly, then picked up a book from the table and continued reading.

In front of her were several books, all brought from Chu Yuxiao’s study.

These books were all about the geography, history, and cultural customs of the six countries...

Previously, she had no interest in reading these books, but now she was very interested.

Because she didn’t want to be unable to contribute to the conversation when Chu Yuxiao was elaborating on the situations of various countries.

At the very least, she needed to know a little so she could have common topics to discuss with Chu Yuxiao.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Good news came from the front lines; in the first battle, the Great Nan Dynasty was victorious, and now General Gao was leading the troops, intending to rest for a few days before striking Moyan Country again.

Chu Yuxiao, holding the letter in his hand, spoke in a calm and steady tone, yet his eyes subtly revealed a trace of joy. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Su Yan smiled slightly and said, "If you’re happy, just be happy, why hold back."

Chu Yuxiao suddenly broke into hearty laughter, as if with that laugh, all of his pent-up emotions dissipated.

"Gao Anbang says he won the first battle in just two days, and they have already captured one city. He plans to capture another before deciding to withdraw the troops."
