Xuanyuan Yu covered his head, feeling dizzy and on the verge of a splitting headache.
The constant collisions between the small boat and the lake shore gradually cleared his mind.
Meanwhile, Su Feiling, who had already woken up and listened to the opera for a while, was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.
Everything was going according to her plan. She had calculated that Su Xuening and Zhao Zhenzhen's bridal sedan chairs would meet at Mingyue Lake, which was why she chose to bring Xuan Yuan Yu to the lakeside. Her goal was to make sure that when they met, they could both see that she and Xuan Yuan Yu were a match made in heaven.
But to her surprise, Consort Su actually intended to abduct the bride, and the two sides immediately started fighting. Before she could even deliberately wake Xuan Yuan Yu, he was already awakened by their commotion.
However, it seems that Zhao Zhenzhen has fallen into the lake. This is truly an unexpected surprise. If Zhao Zhenzhen had drowned, Su Xuening would have been in trouble. If she hadn't drowned and had been rescued by someone else, she would have lost her innocence. It's truly a stroke of luck for her!
As consciousness gradually returned, Xuanyuan Yu looked at his naked body under the thin blanket and finally remembered what happened last night.
Last night, Ning'er gave him a token, so he rushed to Bright Moon Lake to meet her, and they even...
The thought of his intimate moment with Ning'er last night filled Xuan Yuan Yu with joy. He completely disregarded the noise outside and stroked the bare shoulder of the girl who was facing away from him, saying, "Ning'er, I'll go back to Father Emperor now and ask him to grant us a new marriage..."
Xuanyuan Yu turned the person over, only to see an unexpected face. He was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "How is it you?"
How could this be? How could it be Su Feiling? It's clearly Ning'er's!!!
"Cousin Yu?" Su Feiling seemed to be woken up by the noise. She barely opened her eyes and saw Xuan Yuan Yu looking at her with a puzzled expression. When she saw that she was naked, she screamed in shock, "Ah!"
...When Xuanyuan Yu saw her still calling out, his expression darkened even more, and he demanded sharply, "What exactly happened? Why was it you! Where is Ning'er!"
The person on this boat last night was clearly Ning'er. Where did she take Ning'er?
Seeing his sudden anger, Su Feiling pretended to be very scared, grabbing the thin blanket and shrinking into the corner: "Cousin Yu, what are you talking about? It's just the two of us the whole time, how could my older sister be here?"
The thin blanket was moved aside, revealing a white handkerchief stained with specks of blood, and Xuan Yuan Yu was immediately stunned.
He and Su Feiling...
Suddenly, Xuan Yuan Yu's head felt like it was about to explode, his head throbbing with pain. The scene from last night when he first boarded the ship flashed through his mind. Yesterday, when he lifted the gauze curtain on the ship, he seemed to have indeed seen Su Fei Ling's face, but later he clearly saw Ning'er, and he and Ning'er were...
Xuanyuan Yu shook his head violently. What was going on? Why did Su Feiling turn into Ning'er? And Ning'er turned into Su Feiling again?
"No! It wasn't you last night! It was Ning'er! Where did you take Ning'er!" Xuan Yuan Yu refused to admit that he had a relationship with Su Fei Ling, grabbing Su Fei Ling's shoulders and shaking her desperately, forcing her to hand over Su Xue Ning.
Hearing that Xuan Yuan Yu denied what happened last night, Su Fei Ling became anxious and hurriedly called out, "It really is Ling'er, there is no one else."
"Ning'er..."
Xuanyuan Yu muttered a sentence to himself, quickly got up and dressed, not wanting to stay on the ship for even a moment longer.
When he finished dressing, Xuanyuan Yu saw the red plum blossom hairpin on the bed and was immediately delighted: "With this red plum blossom hairpin, it must have been Ning'er last night."
After Xuanyuan Yu finished speaking, he excitedly grabbed the hairpin and went out.
Su Feiling was surprised that Xuan Yuan Yu would turn his back on her so blatantly. Not wanting all her hard work to be denied by him, she immediately put on her clothes, grabbed her handkerchief, and followed him out.
When Xuanyuan Yu stepped out of the cabin, he saw a scene of chaos outside. Many people had fallen into the water, and even the bridal sedan chair had sunk to the bottom of the lake. There was also a group of people fighting on the shore, and those fighting were his personal guards.
Xuanyuan Yu immediately noticed the waxing and waning of the moon and roared, "What's going on here?"
"Your Highness?"
The two were originally fighting Ye Feng and Ye Yun, but when they saw Xuan Yuan Yu, they instantly lost interest in fighting them and ran to the lakeside.
"Your Highness, what brings you here? We searched high and low for you last night."
They searched all night but couldn't find anyone, so early this morning Consort Su had him and Yue Que come to pick up the bride in place of the prince, right?
Who would have thought that the Prince would be by Mingyue Lake? What a coincidence!
Xuanyuan Yu didn't want to explain why he was there. With a dark face, he asked, "Why did they start fighting?"
Speaking of this, Yueyuan felt a little guilty and leaned closer to whisper, "This is because the wedding sedan chair is different and can't be changed, so we wanted to help you snatch the bride. Miss Su is in that wedding sedan chair right now."
Yueyuan pointed to the bridal sedan chair leaning against the wall.
Upon seeing the bridal sedan chair, Xuan Yuan Yu instantly recalled his previous plan. His mother had originally said she would prepare the same bridal sedan chair for him, and since they would be getting married on the same day with similar routes, he could create some chaos and switch the sedan chairs, and he would still be able to marry Ning'er.
As a result, he received Ning'er's letter last night, which made him forget all his plans for today.
Beside the bridal sedan chair on the shore, Green Lotus saw Xuan Yuan Yu suddenly appear and immediately reported to Su Xue Ning inside the sedan chair: "Miss, this servant saw the Third Prince. He is on a small boat by Mingyue Lake."
Su Xuening was stunned and exclaimed in shock, "She's here! Where's Su Feiling?"
Green Lotus craned her neck to take a look and saw Su Feiling also coming out of the cabin: "Second Miss is out too, she's on the ship!"
