Xuanyuan Zhan turned around and saw that Su Xuening was dressed before he went to open the door.
"Your Highness." Granny Shang greeted Xuan Yuanzhan at the door, "This is ice that the Dowager Consort asked me to bring to Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Zhan took the bag of ice.
Su Xuening also came out from the inner room and said to Granny Shang, "Please thank my mother for me and tell her that I had a check-up after returning and there's nothing seriously wrong."
Granny Shang breathed a sigh of relief and curtsied to Su Xuening, saying, "That's good. The Dowager Consort was just worried and wondering if she should call the imperial physician. It's good that the Princess is alright."
As she spoke, Granny Shang looked at the two of them and said, "The Dowager Consort said that she would like to invite the Prince and Princess to Jing'an Temple tomorrow to fulfill their vows."
"Fulfilling a vow?" Xuan Yuanzhan frowned suddenly. "Fulfill what vow?"
Granny Shang looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and said, "The prince had been unconscious for a while, so the Dowager Consort went to Jing'an Temple to pray to the Bodhisattva for the prince's protection. Now that the prince has woken up, it is only natural that we should go to fulfill our vow."
Xuanyuan Zhan had never believed in bodhisattvas or deities, but the fact that this time, the "lucky marriage" had awakened him was rather mysterious.
Let's fulfill our vow!
But that Jing'an Temple sounds so familiar...
Su Xuening immediately thought of Su Yuxin in Jing'an Temple, but she didn't care. Jing'an Temple was so big that they might not run into Su Yuxin. Even if they did, Su Yuxin wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Granny Shang delivered the items that needed to be sent, and if anyone wanted to take them with them, she took them and then left.
After Granny Shang left, Xuan Yuanzhan came to his senses and looked at Su Xuening with an ice pack in hand: "Do you want me to put some ice on your wrist?"
Su Xuening gave him a forced smile and said, "Just let Bihe come."
Before Xuan Yuanzhan could react, Bihe stepped forward and took the ice pack from his hand.
Xuan Yuanzhan genuinely wanted to take a closer look at Su Xuening's wrist, but she didn't want him to apply it. He had indeed seen clearly that there were no red flowers or branches wrapped around her wrist.
Xuan Yuanzhan felt an indescribable sense of loss, and instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
Su Xuening glanced at him and said directly, "Your Highness, may I step out for a moment? I just got some soup on me, and I would like to take a bath and change my clothes."
Xuanyuan Zhan felt a little wronged. This was originally his room, but now he wasn't even allowed to stay there?
However, since it was his fault, he didn't dare say anything more and just left.
As soon as Xuanyuan Zhan stepped out of the room, the door closed.
Xuanyuan Zhan felt even more aggrieved and went to the study with a pitiful expression.
Watching Xuan Yuanzhan walk away from the window, Su Xuening finally breathed a sigh of relief, almost collapsing onto the couch.
"Miss." Bihe was really frightened and quickly stepped forward to support Su Xuening.
She really didn't expect that flowers could bloom on her young lady's wrist, and that the young lady even said that those flowers were given to her by that man. Luckily, the young lady was quick-witted, otherwise she would have been exposed.
Su Xuening rolled up her sleeve and looked at her entire wrist, which was covered in lard.
Fortunately, she had just sent Bihe to fetch lard to cover up the red flowers entwined on the branches, otherwise she would have really been exposed.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Zhan didn't get too close, otherwise we would have smelled the lard.
She had calculated that Xuan Yuanzhan was a gentleman and that he wouldn't go into the inner room dressed like that, but who would have thought he almost came in just now.
Thinking about what had just happened, Su Xuening felt a wave of fear.
Although they barely escaped this calamity, the two of them shared a bed every day, so how many more times could they possibly escape it?
She still needs to see her master as soon as possible.
Xuanyuan Zhan went to the study and took out Su Xuening's handkerchief.
It seems Su Xuening really isn't that woman from Hantan!
But why is he so unwilling to accept this?
Are we going to Jing'an Temple tomorrow?
Jing'an Temple!
Oh, right, it seems that the third son of the Su family was sent to Jing'an Temple!
Since that's the case, he'll go ask the third son of the Su family tomorrow about the specifics of what happened at the dilapidated temple that night. Even if there's still a sliver of hope, he still wants to find out.
That night, Xuanyuan Zhan did not go back to the main house to sleep, but went directly to the study to rest.
Perhaps knowing that Su Xuening was not a woman from the Cold Pool, Xuan Yuanzhan was somewhat disappointed and didn't know how to face her.
This also relieved Su Xuening, who was afraid that if she shared a bed with Xuan Yuanzhan every day, her secret would be impossible to keep hidden.
Now it's perfect. She doesn't have to face Xuan Yuanzhan, so she doesn't have to worry about her secret being exposed, and she can finally get a good night's sleep.
Hearing that Xuan Yuanzhan hadn't gone back to the main house to sleep but instead slept in the study, Madam Bai became worried again. She turned to Granny Shang and said, "You know, this boy has such a beautiful wife in his room, why doesn't he go back to sleep there? Is there gold in the study?"
It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!
Granny Shang smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, this old servant thinks that the Prince still cares about the Princess. They've only just gotten married, haven't they? The Prince used to be averse to women, and now that he's suddenly married, you have to give him time to adjust!"
How could Lady Bai not be anxious: "How long will it take him to adjust? If he refuses to go back to the main house to sleep every day, when will I be able to hold my grandson!"
As if remembering something, Bai suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Do you think I should give him some serious bait?"
...Granny Shang was speechless.
You are truly the prince's own mother!
At Linshui Pavilion, Su Xuening slept soundly all night, but Xuan Yuanzhan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep all night.
Early in the morning, Xuanyuan Zhan sat on the bed in a daze.
Although he does have a problem with sleeping in unfamiliar beds, he used to sleep more in the study than in the main house when he returned to Beijing. How could he not be able to sleep in the study now?
