After returning home, Su Xuening took a bath and changed her clothes, then sat in the room in a daze.

Starting tomorrow, she will no longer go to the temple; if she wants to find someone, she should look for them in Kyoto.

But Kyoto is such a big city, and there are so many important people. Where is she supposed to find this person?

She only had his birth date and time...

Birth date and time (based on the Chinese astrological system)?!

Su Xuening thought of the time when the Empress Dowager helped her and Xuan Yuanzhan match their birth dates and times. The fortune teller who specializes in matching birth dates and times should have a lot of people's birth dates and times.

There should also be information from matchmakers and official media, so she should start her investigation from these people.

Just as Su Xuening was thinking, she saw a figure standing outside. Judging from the figure, Su Xuening already knew who it was.

Thinking of Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Xuening felt as if her heart had been squeezed hard, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.

Su Xuening waited for him to knock on the door, but he stood at the door for a long time without knocking.

Su Xuening suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for this person. He must be driven crazy by her. Such a proud and carefree person had become so hesitant and indecisive because of her.

As if she had made up her mind, Su Xuening got up and opened the door.

Outside the door, Xuan Yuanzhan held his hand up for a long time, but didn't have the courage to knock. The door opened by itself.

He met her eyes so suddenly that he felt as guilty as the most evil demon in the world!

He lowered his eyes in a panic, as if all his courage had been drained away, leaving him with not a shred of courage to face her.

Su Xuening, however, made up her mind and turned slightly to look at Xuan Yuanzhan, saying, "Your Highness, please come inside."

Xuan Yuanzhan was surprised that Su Xuening would let him into the house today, and in his surprise, he followed her into the house in a daze.

Su Xuening closed the door and turned around to see Xuan Yuanzhan standing stiffly in the room.

Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan so reserved, Su Xuening felt an unprecedented sense of ease, for some reason.

Perhaps it was because she had decided to be honest, and she had considered all the possible outcomes and was willing to accept them, that she felt much lighter.

"Your Highness, please sit down."

Su Xuening pulled Xuan Yuanzhan to sit in the main seat, and before Xuan Yuanzhan could even sit down properly, she knelt down herself.

Xuan Yuanzhan was startled and quickly reached out to help her up: "What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Su Xuening refused to get up, grabbing Xuan Yuanzhan's hand as he tried to help her up: "Your Highness has always wanted to hear my explanation, so today I will tell Your Highness everything."

She was so tired, both physically and mentally. She didn't want to hide it anymore, nor did she want to wait until the three-day deadline. Since he had come to see her today, she would tell him everything today.

Perhaps by speaking out, she herself felt relieved.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan froze, suddenly finding himself unable to listen to her speak.

Just before today, he was so eager to hear her explanation, even finding the three days unbearable. But now, he no longer had that courage!

He was terrified, terrified of hearing her resentment and hatred towards him; even a single word would pierce his heart like a thousand arrows.

Xuanyuan Zhan pulled her along and said with difficulty, "Then, get up first and we'll talk later."

"Your Highness, please let me kneel. I want to speak while kneeling." Su Xuening was extremely ashamed. Only kneeling could make her feel better.

"Your Highness, please sit down." Su Xuening not only knelt down herself, but also pressed Xuan Yuanzhan back into the chair.

The chair felt like it was made of nails; Xuan Yuanzhan was so uncomfortable that he wished he could kneel down with Su Xuening.

Su Xuening was lost in her own thoughts, wondering where to begin telling Xuan Yuanzhan about this, and didn't notice Xuan Yuanzhan's unusual behavior.

After hesitating and agonizing, Su Xuening mustered her courage and suddenly said, "Xuanyuan Zhan, I'm pregnant, but the child isn't yours!"

"What did you say!" These words startled Xuan Yuanzhan so much that he jumped up from his chair, but the sudden movement aggravated his already torn wound.

Xuan Yuanzhan clutched his chest, his face deathly pale. The tearing pain there spread to his brain, leaving his mind blank for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Xuening noticed that Xuan Yuanzhan's expression was off and he was clutching his chest. She immediately remembered his injuries and quickly got up to help him.

Xuanyuan Zhan, completely disregarding his own injuries, grabbed her hand and exclaimed excitedly, "What did you say? You..."

"I'm pregnant." Su Xuening said it again, finding it hard to say.

Sure enough, once I said the hardest thing to say in one breath, the rest wasn't so difficult.

Upon hearing the definite answer again, Xuan Yuanzhan's face turned deathly pale.

Is she pregnant?

She's pregnant!

Their child...

Xuan Yuanzhan never expected that his worst fears would come true. Why did this happen? Why was fate tormenting them like this?!

It wasn't enough to torment the two of them; they also had to torment their child.

Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was not in a good state, Su Xuening worriedly helped him sit down: "How are you? Did your wound reopen? Let me take a look at your wound first."

Su Xuening was ashamed and worried that the fact that the child was not her own had upset him so much. She reached out to loosen his clothes to check his wounds.

"Leave me alone!" Xuan Yuanzhan grabbed her hand again in a panic, staring at her stomach, and asked breathlessly, "How could you be pregnant! The baby..."

She got pregnant with his child after just one time.

The master said that children can transfer the Love Flower Gu.

Why should they pass on the suffering they endure to their children?

It's all his fault! If he hadn't been poisoned by that damned Love Flower Gu, how could he have harmed her and the child?!

At that moment, Xuan Yuanzhan felt so guilty that he wanted to kill himself.

Seeing his inner turmoil and pain, Su Xuening assumed he was concerned about the matter and questioned him about it. Her shame made it impossible for her to look Xuan Yuanzhan in the eye, but she still mustered her courage and answered again: "The child is not yours."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly coughed violently after Su Xuening said that.

Su Xuening thought he had been provoked again, and looked at him with shame and worry: "Are you really okay?"

Despite her worries, Su Xuening didn't touch it again, afraid that she would be disliked.

Xuan Yuanzhan finally stopped coughing, then frowned and looked at Su Xuening.

He really didn't know what to do with her.

The child is his; how is he going to explain this to her?

Su Xuening suddenly knelt down in front of Xuan Yuanzhan again: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. Actually, I never consummated our marriage. The blood on the handkerchief was from a finger I cut. At that time, my mother... no, the Dowager Consort said she hoped I would consummate our marriage to bring you good luck, so I resorted to this desperate measure. It's all my fault! I shouldn't have lied to you and the Dowager Consort. Divorce or being divorced, I'll accept it!"

"Cough cough..." Upon hearing about divorcing his wife, Xuan Yuanzhan coughed again, feeling guilty.
