Before long, Su Yuxin was tied up by Ye Yun and dragged to a corner of the backyard.

Xuanyuan Zhan was already waiting there.

Ye Yun forced Su Yuxin to kneel down: "Your Highness, the person has been brought."

When Ye Yun grabbed Su Yuxin just now, Su Yuxin was terrified. But now that she saw Xuan Yuanzhan, she was suddenly not so scared anymore. Instead, she was amazed by his handsome face.

She naturally recognized the Holy King. Although he was not often in the capital, she had seen him several times during grand banquets in the palace, but each time she had only seen him from a distance. This was the first time she had seen the Holy King up close.

The Holy King was incredibly handsome, with exquisite features and a pair of misty gray eyes that added to his mysterious and melancholic appearance. He was even more handsome than the Third Prince.

Su Xuening is so lucky! Her face was ruined like that, yet she still managed to marry such a handsome man as the Holy King!

The thought that her innocence had been ruined by those beggars made Su Yuxin want to kill Su Xuening!

Looking at Su Yuxin's adoring gaze, Xuan Yuanzhan felt disgusted and wanted to strangle her, but thinking of the important matter, he still gave Ye Yun a look.

Ye Yun understood and stepped forward to remove the gag from Su Yuxin's mouth.

"Are you the third son of the Su family?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked, staring at Su Yuxin.

"Yes." Su Yuxin didn't know why Xuan Yuanzhan had captured her, but since he was a prince, she didn't dare to be presumptuous and nodded immediately.

"Was it you who plotted to murder my princess back then?" Xuan Yuanzhan's voice was extremely cold, as if he could immediately chop off Su Yuxin's head if she simply nodded and said something.

Su Yuxin was terrified and shook her head without thinking, saying, "It wasn't me, it was Su Feiling. She's the one who gave Su Xuening the drug 'Drunken Aphrodisiac'!"

"Drunken Aphrodisiac?" Xuan Yuanzhan instantly grasped the key point in Su Yuxin's words and frowned, "You gave her Drunken Aphrodisiac?"

Su Yuxin couldn't figure out what Xuan Yuanzhan meant, but Xuan Yuanzhan's aura was too strong, making it impossible for her to think so much. She blurted out, "It has nothing to do with me. It was all arranged by Su Feiling. She was the one who gave Su Xuening the drug 'Drunken Aphrodisiac'. I was just a scapegoat she pushed out. I am truly innocent."

At this moment, Su Yuxin had no idea how formidable Su Feiling was, and she had completely forgotten the hush money Su Feiling had given her. All she wanted now was to save her life!

Xuanyuan Zhan frowned deeply, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions.

Su Xuening was poisoned with the drug "Drunken Aphrodisiac." The only antidote to "Drunken Aphrodisiac" is sexual intercourse; otherwise, she will die suddenly. If Su Xuening is indeed poisoned with "Drunken Aphrodisiac," then she will definitely not be a virgin.

Could it be that the woman in the cold pool really is her?

Xuanyuan Zhan became excited at the thought and looked at Su Yuxin impatiently: "You, recount to me the whole story of what happened at the dilapidated temple that day!"

Seeing how concerned Xuan Yuanzhan was, Su Yuxin became even more nervous: "That day, Su Feiling bribed many beggars beforehand and drugged Su Xuening with aphrodisiacs. Su Xuening fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up. Then, she took me and Su Xuening to a dilapidated temple. Afterward, she told me to watch over Su Xuening while she went to call people to catch them in the act. I thought Su Xuening was really unconscious, so I said a few words to her, but I didn't expect that she was just unconscious. While I was turning around, she knocked me unconscious with something. When I woke up again, I was violated by those beggars..."

Su Yuxin dared not lie and recounted the events in detail. However, when she thought about what had happened, the despair that she had buried overwhelmed her again, causing her to burst into tears.

Hearing these things, Xuan Yuanzhan felt a pang of pain in his heart.

She had long known that her life would not be easy after General Su passed away, but she never expected that the second branch of the Su family would dare to use such a vicious scheme to plot against her!

With so many beggars, if they succeed, her whole life will be ruined!

These people deserve to die!!!

Seeing Su Yuxin crying, Xuan Yuanzhan said coldly with disgust, "You've reaped what you sowed, and you still have the nerve to cry!"

Startled by Xuan Yuanzhan's sudden cold shout, Su Yuxin trembled, tears welling in her eyes, but she dared not let them fall.

"You said you drugged her with the 'Drunken Aphrodisiac,' but when you tore her sleeve, she clearly had the 'virginity mark.' You couldn't possibly not know the effects and antidote of the 'Drunken Aphrodisiac,' could you?" Xuan Yuanzhan stared coldly at Su Yuxin.

"This..." Su Yuxin was completely stumped by Xuan Yuanzhan's question. This was also the matter that had puzzled her for the past few days at Jing'an Temple.

Even though Su Xuening had already been drugged with the Drunken Harmony Potion, she couldn't understand why she still had the virginity mark on her arm.

"to be honest!"

Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly shouted again, startling Su Yuxin. She dared not hesitate any longer and said urgently, "This humble woman dares not lie. Everything I have said is true. It was Su Feiling who told me that Su Xuening was poisoned by the Drunken Aphrodisiac. It's possible that Su Feiling lied to me, and that she didn't actually give Su Xuening the Drunken Aphrodisiac. Or perhaps Su Feiling thought Su Xuening was poisoned by her Drunken Aphrodisiac, but Su Xuening escaped it. From beginning to end, Su Xuening was faking it, just to make us suffer the consequences. Or perhaps Su Xuening was poisoned by the Drunken Aphrodisiac, but she also found another man, and that virginity mark was fake. There are only these three possibilities!"

These were the three possibilities she could think of at Jing'an Temple, and there were only these three possibilities; there were no other possibilities!

Xuan Yuanzhan frowned. It seemed that this woman really hadn't given Su Xuening the drug, so she couldn't figure out whether Su Xuening had been drugged with the "Intoxicating Harmony" potion.

Clearly, today's questioning did not resolve Xuan Yuanzhan's doubts; instead, it added to his questions.

Xuan Yuanzhan was somewhat disappointed, staring coldly at Su Yuxin: "This woman is not pure of heart. Take her to Master Mingjing and let her punish her severely!"

Su Yuxin was shocked upon hearing this. He knew that her words would make the abbot think that she was seducing him. The abbot hated nuns in the temple making such mistakes, and the punishment was very severe.

"No, Your Highness..."

Just as Su Yuxin was about to plead for mercy, Ye Yun covered her mouth again and then dragged her away.

After Ye Yun delivered Su Yuxin to Mingjing, when he came to find Xuan Yuanzhan, he discovered that Xuan Yuanzhan had already left Jing'an Temple. He quickly chased after him, saying, "Your Highness."

Xuanyuan Zhan ignored him and went down the mountain in silence.

Ye Yun seemed to know what Xuan Yuanzhan was thinking and pressed him for an answer, saying, "Your Highness, please don't overthink it. The Princess Consort could never be that girl from the Cold Pool."

"Why?" Xuan Yuanzhan turned around and glared at Ye Yun unhappily: "Couldn't it be that she was poisoned by the Drunken Aphrodisiac, so she found my antidote, and then predicted what they were going to do, and deliberately applied a fake virginity mark?"
