Ye Yun hung the outer robe that Xuan Yuanzhan had taken off on the screen: "Your Highness, weren't you unconscious before? One group of imperial physicians came after another, but none of them could wake you up. Wasn't the Dowager Consort anxious? So she wanted to bring you good luck and chose the Princess Consort."
Xuan Yuanzhan snorted coldly: "She chose Su Xuening, so Su Xuening is willing to come and ward off bad luck?"
Are the Su family really that easy to talk to?
Leaving aside others, Xuanyuan Yu alone would refuse!
"But we still have the Emperor, don't we?" Ye Yun's smug words had barely left his mouth when Xuan Yuanzhan's sharp eyes shot over.
Ye Yun was instantly speechless. Oh no, he had forgotten that the prince hated the emperor the most, but he couldn't leave the emperor out of this matter.
"Ahem~" Ye Yun could only cough lightly and said cautiously, "The marriage was personally bestowed upon you and the Princess by the Emperor. How could the Princess possibly refuse to marry him!"
Xuanyuan Zhan's brows furrowed suddenly, and he said with a frown, "So you're saying she didn't marry me willingly?"
If she had been forced, he might have let her go, but now they've already...
Thinking of the awkwardness between the two of them just now, Xuan Yuanzhan felt both helpless and at a loss.
"Well..." Ye Yun glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan's unpleasant expression and defended Su Xuening, "No, that's not true. His Highness the Third Prince has been proposing to our Princess Consort, but she hasn't agreed. She still chose to marry into the Holy Prince's Mansion. I don't think the Princess Consort was unwilling to marry the Prince."
These words did not comfort Xuan Yuanzhan; instead, they made his face darken even more: "Xuan Yuanyu... he proposed to Su Xuening?"
Ye Yun took the undergarment that Xuan Yuanzhan threw to him, and by the time he hung it up, Xuan Yuanzhan had already gone into the water.
Ye Yun hurried over to serve her: "The Third Prince's selection banquet for his consort was held a few days ago. The competition was fierce. The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family and Miss Su were vying for the position of the Third Prince's principal wife. But the Third Prince didn't take a liking to either of them. He insisted on marrying our Princess Consort. If it weren't for our Dowager Consort's quick action, getting the Emperor... cough, to bestow the marriage, our Princess Consort might have ended up marrying the Third Prince. Because of this, Consort Su and the Third Prince are both dissatisfied and even want to change the bridal sedan chair today!"
"They still want to change the bridal sedan chair?" Xuan Yuanzhan listened intently to Ye Yun's words, though he was in the bathtub, his mind was not on bathing.
While rubbing Xuan Yuanzhan's back, Ye Yun muttered, "Of course! The Emperor not only bestowed a marriage upon you and the Princess, but also upon the Third Prince and the Prime Minister's eldest daughter. The wedding dates are both today. You have no idea how wicked Consort Su is. Yesterday, she had the Imperial Household Department send the same bridal sedan chairs to the General's Mansion and the Holy Prince's Mansion as those used to pick up the brides at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Fortunately, the Princess was clever and noticed something amiss. She sent someone to report to the Dowager Consort, who then changed the sedan chairs at the last minute, and their plan failed."
Upon hearing that Su Xuening had discovered the clues and informed the Holy King's Mansion, Xuan Yuanzhan's dark expression immediately brightened considerably.
She's quite clever; it seems she doesn't want to marry Xuan Yuan Yu either!
Even if she might not truly want to marry him, it's certain that she doesn't want to marry Xuan Yuan Yu.
Otherwise, given how infatuated Xuanyuan Yu was with her, if she really wanted to marry Xuanyuan Yu, she would never have made it to the Holy King's Mansion today!
Thinking about what happened this morning, Ye Yun said indignantly, "As a result, this morning our two wedding processions bumped into each other by Mingyue Lake. When Yueyuan and Yueque saw that our bridal sedan chair was different from theirs, they tried to change the sedan chair and then tried to steal the bride!"
...Xuanyuan Zhan was instantly speechless. One minute they were changing the bridal sedan chair, the next they were trying to snatch the bride. When would this ever end?!
Sensing the chill emanating from Xuan Yuanzhan, Ye Yun quickly added, "Fortunately, Ye Feng and I fought tooth and nail to protect the Princess, preventing them from getting close to the bridal sedan chair. That Third Prince is disgusting too. On his own wedding day, instead of going to fetch the bride, he was having a secret rendezvous with the Second Miss Su on a small boat by Mingyue Lake, and we caught them red-handed."
"There's more to this story!" The matter seemed quite interesting, so Xuan Yuanzhan lost all interest in bathing and turned around to listen to Ye Yun's story.
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was interested, Ye Yun told him in detail what had happened that morning when they went to pick up the bride: "That Third Prince is shameless. He even insisted that the person he had a secret rendezvous with last night was the Princess Consort."
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan's face visibly darkened, Ye Yun explained on Su Xuening's behalf: "It absolutely couldn't be the Princess Consort. Last night, the Dowager Consort was worried that Consort Su might cause trouble again, so she had me and Ye Feng secretly keep watch over the Princess Consort. I and Ye Feng stayed outside the General's Mansion all night. The Princess Consort didn't even leave the General's Mansion. How could she have gone to meet with the Third Prince again? Fortunately, our Princess Consort is calm and quick-witted and produced evidence to prove her innocence. Otherwise, more unsavory rumors would have spread."
Hearing Ye Yun's words, Xuan Yuanzhan became even more certain that Su Xuening did not want to marry Xuan Yuanyu.
Xuan Yuan Yu's actions last night must have been orchestrated. As for how many people were involved, that's hard to say. Su Fei Ling is definitely one of them, but it's unknown whether Su Xue Ning was involved.
Since she was so reluctant to marry Xuan Yuan Yu, it was likely that she was behind it all.
"Speaking of this matter, it's absolutely right that the Princess Consort didn't choose the Third Prince. In terms of not being interested in women, aren't you tens of thousands of times better than the Third Prince?" Ye Yun praised Xuan Yuanzhan, but then suddenly seemed to remember something and changed the subject: "You're not so uninterested in women after all."
Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at Ye Yun, puzzled.
What does this mean?
When did he start getting close to women?
Speaking of being close to women, Xuan Yuanzhan thought of the beautiful scene he had just experienced in bed. His breath became hot, and he felt a burning sensation inside his body.
He doesn't seem to be as averse to women as he appears!
Just as Xuanyuan Zhan was reminiscing about their previous intimate moments, Ye Yun spoke up again: "Your Highness, do you remember how you suddenly fell into a coma?"
Xuanyuan Zhan snapped out of his reverie and frowned as he looked at Ye Yun: "I was about to ask you the same thing. How did I suddenly fall ill?"
Seeing the confusion in Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes, Ye Yun was somewhat shocked: "You really don't remember anything?"
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at him, his expression saying, "Does the King of Dungeons still need to ask you?"
Ye Yun leaned closer to Xuan Yuanzhan and whispered a reminder: "Didn't you go to the Cold Pool to restrain the Love Flower Gu every full moon night before?"
"A cold pool?" Ye Yun's reminder was like a sudden awakening for Xuan Yuanzhan. Countless dark images flooded his mind. There seemed to be many images, but each one was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
The hot water in the bathtub suddenly became as icy cold as the water in the cold pool. He tried hard to see the darkness clearly, but it was all in vain.
In an instant, Xuan Yuanzhan felt as if his head was about to explode.
"Your Highness!" Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was not in a good state, Ye Yun immediately called out to him anxiously: "If you can't remember, then don't think about it anymore."
Xuan Yuanzhan's face turned deathly pale, and he was covered in cold sweat. He finally realized that something was wrong. He had clearly been moved by love in the main house, but his Love Flower Gu had not taken effect!
Xuanyuan Zhan raised his hand, looking at the smooth area on his wrist, his breath coming in ragged gasps of shock: "Where did the red flower and branch ornament on my wrist go?"
