Ye Yun knew that this was what his lord was thinking, but he was really wrong: "You're really overthinking it. The princess's virginity mark is real."
Seeing his confident assertion, Xuan Yuanzhan became angry: "So you know that too?"
Even he, her husband, wasn't sure if her virginity mark was real or not, so what did he know?
Ye Yun said firmly, "I really know, but you don't. This isn't the only time the Princess Consort has been proven innocent. A few days before your wedding, on the day the Third Prince was choosing his consort, the Yong'an Marquis's residence, now the General's residence, caught fire..."
"A fire?" Before Ye Yun could finish explaining, Xuan Yuanzhan caught the key word he was concerned about and frowned suddenly: "So the burns on her body were from that time?"
Ye Yun's explanation was interrupted by Xuan Yuanzhan and was forced to stop.
"No, the princess was burned in a fire before. I heard that the house of the young master of the Su family caught fire, and the princess was burned when she went into the fire to save the young master of the Su family. The young master was also burned on the face."
Xuan Yuanzhan frowned and said coldly, "Was this fire also set by the second branch of the Su family?"
"It should be," Ye Yun affirmed.
"Damn it!" Xuan Yuanzhan cursed under his breath, his eyes filled with malice.
This is clearly an attempt to kill the siblings! It's not enough that the second branch of the Su family has the title of the eldest branch; they even want to harm their own bloodline. They are utterly heartless and insane!
Ye Yun also said indignantly, "The people from the second branch of the Su family are indeed scoundrels. The first fire burned down the young master's room, and the second fire burned down our princess's room. That day, the eldest young master of the Su family got drunk and barged into the princess's room, and even tried to take liberties with her!"
"What?" Xuan Yuanzhan was shocked again, and said angrily, "When did this happen?"
How long had he been unconscious? So many things had happened in Kyoto that he was unaware of.
They had never crossed paths before, and he hadn't paid any attention to her at all. He never imagined that even Su Linyuan would covet her. Su Linyuan was her own cousin! How dare he?!
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was angry, Ye Yun quickly reassured him: "It happened three days before your wedding, but don't worry, the eldest son of the Su family didn't succeed. He was even knocked unconscious by the princess and left in the room. As a result, the second branch of the family set fire to the princess's room. The eldest son of the Su family not only had his leg broken in the fire and became a cripple, but he was also exiled by the emperor and just left the capital a few days ago."
Xuanyuan Zhan gritted his teeth in anger.
Those people from the second branch of the Su family are truly disgusting! The man tried to take advantage of her, and the woman drugged and framed her. They are birds of a feather and utterly despicable!
"That's exactly what I wanted to say," Ye Yun continued, picking up where he had left off. "That day, the fourth young lady of the Su family tried to smear the Princess's reputation, insisting that the Princess had been drugged with 'Drunken Aphrodisiac' and was no longer a virgin. The Princess had the imperial physicians examine her pulse, and they confirmed that our Princess was indeed a virgin. The fourth young lady of the Su family still made a scene, so the Princess had the nanny who served the Princess examine her as well. In the end, it was proven that the Princess was indeed a virgin, and the fourth young lady of the Su family even had her tongue cut out by the Emperor. Therefore, our Princess is truly a virgin and could not possibly be that girl from the Cold Pool."
...Xuanyuan Zhan's mood plummeted. He had initially felt a glimmer of hope when he heard that she might have been poisoned by the Drunken Aphrodisiac, but he never expected that hope to be shattered so quickly.
The imperial physicians took his pulse? And the old nanny examined him, so what on earth are they doing? Why don't they give him even the slightest hope!
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan remained silent, Ye Yun continued to ramble on: "So, the possibility you mentioned is simply impossible. The truth is that Miss Su the Second thought our Princess Consort had fallen for her 'Drunken Harmony' drug, but our Princess Consort managed to evade it. Think about it, how clever our Princess Consort is! She can handle the entire second branch of the Su family all by herself. How could she fall for Miss Su the Second's scheme? She must have been pretending on purpose, just to make them suffer the consequences! And Miss Su the Third suffered the consequences!"
Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Ye Yun: "Do you know that I want to strangle you right now!"
Listening to him ramble on and on, mainly because he kept putting him down, Xuan Yuanzhan really wanted to strangle him.
Startled by Xuan Yuanzhan's fierce gaze, Ye Yun stammered pitifully, "What I said is true. That day was the Third Prince's selection banquet for his concubines. All the wives of officials in the capital were there, including our Dowager Consort. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can ask the Dowager Consort."
Xuanyuan Zhan was absolutely furious: "Where are the gold ingots I gave you?!"
Ye Yun froze for a moment, then pulled out the large gold ingot from his pocket with a bewildered look: "Here it is."
Xuanyuan Zhan snatched the gold ingot fiercely and turned to leave.
...Ye Yun was completely dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He hurriedly chased after Xuan Yuanzhan, saying, "Your Highness..."
"You're not allowed to follow me," Xuan Yuanzhan roared impatiently. Then, as if remembering something, he turned around and asked, "Has Su Linyuan from the Su family really been exiled?"
Ye Yun quickly followed: "They were indeed exiled, and have been gone for several days."
Xuan Yuanzhan gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Find someone to go and kill him!"
"Understood," Ye Yun replied quickly.
Xuanyuan Zhan hurried down the mountain. When he arrived at the bottom, Bai Shi and Su Xuening were already in the carriage.
Xuan Yuanzhan got into the carriage he shared with Su Xuening and looked at her, explaining, "Sorry, I had an upset stomach and was delayed."
"It's alright." Su Xuening didn't mind waiting a little while.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhan had also boarded the carriage, Bai Shi instructed the driver to drive back to the Holy King's Mansion.
Inside the carriage, Xuan Yuanzhan continued to stare at Su Xuening.
Why is he so unwilling to accept this?
He knew perfectly well that she couldn't possibly be that woman from Hantan, but he just couldn't accept it!
She was born in the same year, month, hour, and day of the Yin calendar, so why isn't that woman her?
no!
Now nothing they say to him works!
Even with countless pieces of evidence presented to him, telling him that the woman in Hantan could not possibly be Su Xuening, he still couldn't give up!
Longya Mountain is so close to that dilapidated temple, and she was tricked and may have been drugged. And coincidentally, she has an extremely yin constitution and the ability to remove his Love Flower Gu.
There were too many coincidences, so he was unwilling to give up. He had to try a few more times no matter what!
Yesterday's chicken soup...
Chicken soup for the soul doesn't seem to work very well. If you don't control the heat properly, it can easily hurt her. It's really hard to manage.
Besides producing red flowers that twine around branches when exposed to heat, the Love Flower Gu can also be activated by romantic feelings.
Moved...
The beautiful scene he saw that night when he crawled into her bed instantly flashed into Xuan Yuanzhan's mind.
Hey, how about we try it tonight?
Just as Xuanyuan Zhan was lost in thought, Su Xuening suddenly spoke up: "Is there something on my face?"
