Xuan Yuanzhan snapped back to reality, realizing the shameless thing he had been thinking. His face flushed red, and he casually pointed at Su Xuening's face: "I'll have the imperial physician treat that scar for you."
Su Xuening frowned slightly; he had been staring at the scar on her face.
"No need, it's not a serious injury, so there's no need to trouble the imperial physician."
Su Xuening's voice was somewhat cold, making Xuan Yuanzhan feel inexplicably guilty: "Ahem~ I saw a similar injury on your arm before, why didn't you get it treated?"
The injury is so severe, yet you still say it's not a serious one.
Su Xuening frowned even more: "Does Your Highness think I'm ugly?"
"No! This injury doesn't detract from your beauty at all; it's a minor flaw that doesn't overshadow your overall charm." Xuan Yuanzhan responded without hesitation, his expression serious and earnest.
Su Xuening's brows relaxed slightly: "Since Your Highness doesn't care, then there's no need for treatment."
...Xuanyuan Zhan was speechless for a moment.
What did he say? She's giving up treatment?
Why is she so resistant to getting her face treated? What woman in the world is as indifferent to her appearance as she is?
Their conversation reached an impasse again, and they remained silent for the rest of the way.
After being caught by Su Xuening, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't dare to stare at people and let his mind wander, but he was still thinking about testing them.
I'll definitely give it a try when I get home tonight!
By the time they returned to the Holy King's Palace, it was already dark.
Su Xuening went back to the main house to change her clothes, and then Madam Bai had someone call her to have dinner.
Having made a mistake at dinner last night, Xuan Yuanzhan dared not splash hot water or soup on Su Xuening again today. After all, he could say it was an accident this time, but he couldn't cover it up two or three times.
So tonight, Xuan Yuanzhan was unusually well-behaved. He would add whatever dishes Bai Shi asked him to serve Su Xuening, but he resolutely refused to touch any soup or broth.
After what happened yesterday, Su Xuening was extra wary of Xuan Yuanzhan today, trying to prevent him from splashing soup on her wrist again.
If it happened again, then Xuanyuan Zhan would definitely be doing it on purpose.
Fortunately, dinner was peaceful tonight, as if she had just been overthinking things.
After dinner, Madam Bai smiled and said to Su Xuening, "Ning'er, tomorrow is your homecoming day. Your mother has prepared a gift for you. Let Zhan'er accompany you on your homecoming tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at Su Xuening and said, "I'll accompany you back tomorrow."
Su Xuening originally wanted to tell them about this: "Mother, Your Highness, there is no one left in the General's Mansion. There is no point in me going back to the General's Mansion tomorrow. I would like to go and see my younger brother."
"Where is your brother? Isn't he at the General's Mansion?" Bai asked curiously.
She still had a deep impression of that child; he looked a lot like Ning'er, and it seemed that his face had also been burned before.
Su Xuening explained, "After I got married, Yun'an was left alone in the General's Mansion. He is still young, and I was worried about leaving him alone in the General's Mansion. Since he wanted to learn martial arts, I found him a master and sent him there. The place where he learns martial arts is not far from the capital; it only takes an hour or two by carriage."
Bai understood. Now that Ning'er had married into the Holy King's Mansion, there was indeed no one to take care of the child. Finding him a master to learn martial arts was a good thing. Firstly, someone could take care of him, and secondly, he could learn some skills.
"Since your brother is no longer at the General's Mansion, there's really no point in going back. Let Zhan'er accompany you to see your brother."
Although the General's Mansion is empty, the homecoming ceremony still has to be performed, as it is a matter of face for a married woman. As for whether she goes back to the General's Mansion or somewhere else, she doesn't care.
Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan again and said with difficulty, "Yun An's master has a rather eccentric temperament and is unwilling to see outsiders, so I would like to go and see him myself tomorrow."
She wanted to go back tomorrow to ask her master about the Love Flower Gu, so how could she bring Xuan Yuanzhan back with her?
Moreover, she didn't want to reveal her medical skills yet, nor did she want to expose her master to the public too early, especially since her master's medical book was inextricably linked to the death of her child. She couldn't let Su Feiling and the others know about her master's existence too soon.
Therefore, she does not plan to let anyone know about her master for the time being, including Xuan Yuanzhan.
Both Bai Shi and Xuan Yuanzhan looked surprised.
"Is that so? It's not impossible for you not to have Zhan'er with you." Madam Bai was quite open-minded, but she was also worried about Su Xuening's safety: "How about this, I'll give you two guards."
Before Su Xuening could even reply, Bai called out, "Ye Yu, Ye Xue."
Soon, a male guard entered from outside, and a female guard in black appeared in the room out of nowhere.
"Ye Yu, Ye Xue, pay your respects to the Dowager Consort, the Prince, and the Princess." Ye Yu and Ye Xue bowed to the three of them together.
Bai introduced the two guards to her, saying, "One of them is named Ye Yu, and the other is named Ye Xue. Ye Yu is the open guard, and Ye Xue is the covert guard. From now on, they will follow you. They can protect you, and you can also order them to do anything you need."
Su Xuening was somewhat moved, but dared not ask for her people casually: "I have Bihe and Lülian by my side, so Mother should keep them for herself."
Madam Bai smiled and gave her a reproachful look: "Silly child, do you think your mother only has these two guards? Your mother has others who can help you, so let Ye Yu and Ye Xue go with you. That way, your mother will feel at ease. Tomorrow, you can take them with you. If it's inconvenient for them to go in, just have them wait outside. Besides, Ye Xue is a secret guard, so she can protect your safety at all times."
Having heard many stories from Ye Yun about how she was framed and plotted against, Xuan Yuanzhan said, "Since Mother is giving it to you, just accept it."
With Ye Yu and Ye Xue by her side from now on, she should be much safer!
Su Xuening knew that Madam Bai truly meant well for her, and said with emotion, "Then thank you very much, Mother."
"This child is still being so polite with his mother," Madam Bai said with a smile. Then, looking at Ye Yu and Ye Xue, she instructed them, "From now on, you are the Princess's people. You only need to serve the Princess as your master, and you don't need to listen to anyone else."
These words were meant to tell Su Xuening that once these two people were given to her, they were now hers, and she and Xuan Yuanzhan were no longer their masters.
The two immediately knelt before Su Xuening: "Your subordinates greet Your Highness."
Su Xuening naturally understood Bai's words and felt grateful: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The two stood up, one went out, and the other disappeared.
Just then, Granny Shang brought a soup bowl into the room.
Seeing Granny Shang come in, Madam Bai was delighted and said to the two of them with a smile, "Come, come, your mother has also made some nourishing soup for you."
Bai Shi personally took the soup bowl and served each of them a bowl of soup: "This soup is very nourishing, you should all try it."
Su Xuening scooped up a spoonful of soup, and her pupils contracted slightly as she smelled it.
