In her past life, her father was murdered, her mother was imprisoned, her brother was violated, and her son had his heart gouged out. Su Xuening feigned madness her entire life but still couldn'...
"What?" Xuan Yuanzhan was instantly shocked: "Su Xuening was also born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour?"
Ye Yun nodded with certainty: "It's true. The matchmaker must have her birth date and time. When you and the Princess got married, the Dowager Princess should have also matched your birth dates and times. The Dowager Princess must also have the Princess's birth date and time."
Xuan Yuanzhan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly got up to ask Su Xuening for her birth date and time, but Ye Yun grabbed him and said, "Your Highness, please don't be in such a hurry. Although the princess was born in the year of Guihai, the month of Hai, the day of Hai, and the hour of Hai, which is the kind of girl we are looking for who was born in the year, month, day, and hour of Yin, she is definitely not the girl you met at the Cold Pool!"
"Why?" Seeing Ye Yun's certainty, Xuan Yuanzhan frowned.
Ye Yun and Ye Feng exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "On the night of the full moon, you and that girl from the Cold Pool must have consummated your marriage at the bottom of the Cold Pool. Otherwise, the Love Flower Gu on your body would not have been able to be removed, and she even left teeth marks on you."
To prove his point, Ye Yun also pointed out the teeth marks on Xuan Yuanzhan's shoulder.
These words were like a wake-up call. Xuan Yuanzhan immediately thought of the handkerchief with red plum blossoms that he had seen on the night of his wedding to Su Xuening.
Su Xuening is a virgin; she could not possibly be a woman from the Cold Pool!
Xuan Yuanzhan felt a little disappointed. He had actually been secretly pleased when he heard that Su Xuening was also born in the year, month, day, and hour of the Yin.
If that woman really is Su Xuening, then he doesn't need to be so conflicted; he can simply spend the rest of his life making amends to her.
But now...
Thinking about what happened on their wedding night, Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly felt a glimmer of hope again.
What if Su Xuening was faking it all? After all, he had absolutely no recollection of consummating his marriage with Su Xuening.
Although when he woke up that night, their state seemed very much like they had consummated their marriage, he genuinely had no recollection of it. What if Su Xuening was acting? What if…
Before Xuan Yuanzhan could think any further, Ye Yun seemed to have seen through something and interrupted his fantasy: "Your Highness, please stop thinking about it. The Princess Consort really can't be Miss Han Tan."
Xuanyuan Zhan glared at Ye Yun unhappily. Did he know everything again?
"Ahem~" Ye Yun coughed lightly and leaned closer to whisper, "On the night of the full moon, besides your accident at the Cold Pool, there was another major event in the capital that was related to the Princess."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan immediately looked at Ye Feng: "You're the one who investigated this matter, and it's related to the Princess?"
"Yes," Ye Feng replied, then reported, "Nothing particularly noteworthy happened in the capital that night of the full moon, except for one rather significant incident. That night, in a dilapidated temple on the eastern outskirts of the capital, the Princess Consort was plotted against by the third young lady of the Su family..."
Ye Feng recounted the events of that night at the dilapidated temple to Xuan Yuanzhan in detail: "In the end, it was the Princess who retaliated against Miss Su, and Miss Su was attacked by those beggars..."
Xuan Yuanzhan understood. The Su family was truly despicable, scheming against her like this. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and didn't let them succeed. Instead, she turned the tables on them.
But that's not the point. The point is...
"You said the princess was drugged by that third son of the Su family, so how did she get the antidote?"
Su Xuening has been drugged, so she probably needs an antidote, right? Or perhaps she needs a man like him?
Most importantly, he knew about the dilapidated temple in the eastern suburbs of the imperial city; it was very close to Longya Mountain, not far at all.
What a coincidence! She was drugged, and he was cured of the curse, and it all happened at the same time. It's too much of a coincidence!
"This..." Ye Feng looked uneasy. How could he possibly know this?
Ye Yun was quite quick-witted. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood Xuan Yuanzhan's thoughts and added, "It shouldn't be the method you're thinking of. When I returned to the capital, people were still discussing this matter. I heard that the Third Prince and the Marquis of Yong'an were taken to the ruined temple that night to catch them in the act of adultery. There was also a squad of city guards following them. In the end, they arrested Miss Su. Miss Su insisted that our Princess Consort was drugged and was impure. She tore the Princess Consort's sleeve in public, revealing the Princess Consort's virginity mark. Her lie was exposed. The Third Prince and the city guards saw the virginity mark on the Princess Consort's arm..."
Ye Yun's voice grew softer and softer as he noticed his lord's face darkening. Realizing he had spoken out of turn, he dared not continue.
Xuan Yuanzhan's face was indeed terrifyingly dark.
That third son of the Su family is truly despicable! How dare he bully her like this!
Xuanyuan Zhan was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
However, if that's the case, Su Xuening really isn't the girl from Hantan anymore. After all, something must have happened between them that night at Hantan. Although he has no memory of it, his Love Flower Gu was indeed cured.
Then it couldn't be Su Xuening!
Xuanyuan Zhan scratched his hair in disappointment and frustration.
Damn it, what kind of evil spirit possessed him? Why does he have no memory of losing his virginity twice?
Whether at the bottom of the cold pool or on his wedding night, he had no memory of it. If his love potion hadn't been cured, if he hadn't seen the handkerchief stained with red plum blossoms with his own eyes, and if he hadn't felt the awkwardness between the two of them, he really wouldn't have believed that he had inexplicably lost his virginity twice, and to two different women!
Xuan Yuanzhan felt like he wanted to kill himself!
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's agitation, Ye Yun and Ye Feng exchanged a glance and cautiously asked, "Your Highness, should we still investigate that Miss Han Tan?"
It seems the prince is starting to develop feelings for the princess. Is there still a need to investigate that girl from the cold pool?
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned. Normally, he could pretend that nothing had happened and not investigate or ask about things that he had no memory of and that did not cause him any loss.
But when he thought of what Master Daoyi had told him, he felt incredibly guilty.
He may have ruined that girl's life; how can we not investigate this!
Xuanyuan Zhan took a deep breath: "Investigate! Keep investigating! Investigate carefully! Didn't you just give me a list? Start investigating from the three girls on the list. Since they have consummated their marriage with me, they must not be virgins anymore. Investigate in that direction."
"How am I supposed to investigate this?" Ye Yun's face instantly fell.
He's not a notorious womanizer, so how can he possibly investigate him?
Xuanyuan Zhan glared at him with a dark face and said angrily, "Send a woman to investigate, or bribe someone's maid. Use your brain! What are you thinking!"
Seeing his lord's irritable state, Ye Yun didn't dare to say another word and immediately bowed and withdrew.
Xuan Yuanzhan then looked at Ye Feng: "Where is that third son of the Su family now?"
"It seems they were sent to Jing'an Temple by the Su family."
“Jing’an Temple?” Xuan Yuanzhan muttered to himself with a furrowed brow, then looked up and said, “Continue to investigate the matter I asked you to investigate before. Investigate anything strange or illogical, big or small.”
"Yes," Ye Feng replied and withdrew.
