Su Xuening frowned slightly. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the soup; it was just that it was too nourishing. If she drank it, something bad would happen to her.
"What kind of soup is this?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked with a look of disgust.
"It's just a nourishing soup, what else could it be?" Bai glanced at him meaningfully.
He's in poor health, doesn't he know that? And he still has the nerve to ask what kind of soup it is?
If he consciously goes back to the main house to sleep with Ning'er every day, would she need to make nourishing soup for them?
...Seeing Bai's disdainful look, Xuan Yuanzhan instantly felt insulted!
Bai Shi ignored him and just smiled at Su Xuening: "Ning'er, don't pay attention to him. This soup was simmered for several hours with dozens of ingredients. It's very nourishing and perfect for you to drink now. Drink it quickly."
Bai looked at her attentively. Su Xuening wanted to refuse, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to say it and had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a sip.
"Drink more, it's good for your health." Bai looked at Su Xuening with bright eyes, her expectant expression as if she could hold her grandson soon.
Under Bai's watchful eye, Su Xuening had no choice but to drink some more, finishing half a cup. Su Xuening dared not drink any more: "I ate a bit too much for dinner, I really can't drink anymore."
Seeing that she had drunk half a cup, which was enough, Madam Bai smiled and said, "Then don't drink anymore. It's not good to eat too much at night."
After Bai finished speaking, she supervised Xuanyuan Zhan: "Why aren't you drinking it? It will get cold and affect the efficacy."
Upon hearing the word "therapeutic effect," Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes and eyebrows twitched violently: "I won't drink it!"
He's not afraid at all! Not afraid at all!! Not afraid at all!!
Why would I need to drink any nourishing soup?
"You have to drink it! I specially stewed it for you, and Ning'er drank it all!" Seeing that he refused to drink, Bai Shi became anxious and looked like she was about to force him to drink it.
"Drink, drink, drink!" Xuan Yuanzhan was also impressed. He impatiently picked up the soup bowl and drank the whole bowl of nourishing soup in one gulp.
Seeing how much Xuan Yuanzhan had drunk, Su Xuening couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.
Drinking so much is going to cause trouble!
However, considering that he wouldn't be sleeping in the same room as her, Su Xuening wasn't so worried.
It's just a nourishing soup, not medicine, so it should be nothing serious.
When Madam Bai saw that Xuanyuan Zhan had drunk her tonic soup, she was extremely satisfied: "Alright, you two don't need to keep your mother company anymore. It's getting late, go back and rest."
Madam Bai looked at the two of them with a beaming smile, her eyes full of anticipation, as if they could give her a grandson at any moment.
Su Xuening blushed slightly under Bai Shi's gaze, and the nourishing soup was also making her feel a bit overwhelmed, so she got up to take her leave: "Your Majesty, I take my leave."
Su Xuening bowed to Bai Shi, then bowed to Xuan Yuanzhan, and then left with Bihe and Lülian.
When Su Xuening came out of the room, Ye Yu also bowed to her and followed her back to Linshui Pavilion.
Seeing that Su Xuening had left, Xuan Yuanzhan followed her.
As Bai watched his retreating figure, she called out, "Remember to sleep in the main house tonight!"
"Understood." Xuan Yuanzhan said without turning his head and went back to Linshui Pavilion.
He is indeed going back to the main house to sleep tonight!
Linshui Pavilion.
Su Xuening returned to the main house and then called Ye Yu and Ye Xue over.
"Your Highness." The two immediately appeared and bowed to Su Xuening.
Su Xuening looked at the two of them and said, "The Prince's residence is very safe. While we are here, you don't need to guard me. Go back and rest."
The two looked at each other, both hesitant.
"I will take you with me when I go out tomorrow, so you don't need to stay here tonight."
Su Xuening's expression was somewhat serious, which made Ye Yu and Ye Xue dare not disobey.
"Yes," the two replied, bowing as they stepped down.
After Ye Yu and Ye Xue left, Su Xuening instructed Bihe and Lülian: "I want to take a bath. Go and fetch some water. It's a bit hot today, so make sure the water is cooled down."
"yes."
The two immediately went to fetch water.
After the two left, Su Xuening lifted her sleeves, revealing her wrist covered in red flowers.
The Empress Dowager's tonic soup was indeed nourishing; she knew it would be like this!
After bathing, the red flower vines on Su Xuening's hands did not fade; instead, they grew even more.
Even a slightly cool bath didn't help; it seems the tonic soup has only just started to work.
"You don't need to keep watch tonight, you can all go and get some rest."
"Yes." Bihe and Lülian withdrew together.
Su Xuening, wearing her nightgown, had just lain down on the bed, wondering how she would spend the night, when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Upon seeing Xuan Yuanzhan enter the room, Su Xuening was startled: "Your Highness?"
Xuanyuan Zhan closed the door, pretended to be calm, walked into the inner room, and began to take off his clothes.
Su Xuening turned pale with fright upon seeing this.
What's the meaning?
Is he going to stay in the main house tonight?
Xuanyuan Zhan appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was actually racing.
Before returning to his room, he made a point of taking a bath and changing clothes in the study, cleaning himself up thoroughly. No matter what, he was determined to try it out tonight.
After taking off his clothes, Xuan Yuanzhan blew out the candles, got into bed, and pulled Su Xuening's blanket up, crawling into her bed.
Su Xuening was instantly stunned. She froze, gripping the corner of the blanket, not daring to move, and even her breathing became shallow.
Why did he come here?
Does he realize how dangerous what they're doing is?
In fact, Xuan Yuanzhan was also a little nervous, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
The two lay there, neither daring to move.
Yet, in the darkness, their silent breathing and unspoken ambiguity continued to grow.
He didn’t know if it was because Bai’s soup was too strong, but Xuan Yuanzhan felt unbearably hot all over. The heat emanating from his body was even more torturous than the love flower poison.
Su Xuening was also extremely flustered. The hot body of the person next to her, coupled with the secret hidden within her body, made her feel completely lost.
Finally, Su Xuening couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, will you be sleeping in the main room tonight?"
There was no sound in the quiet room.
Su Xuening's voice was very soft, but the two were very close, and Su Xuening knew that he had heard her, but he did not answer.
So that means I'll be staying here tonight.
Su Xuening was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Your Majesty, I will go and get a quilt."
Su Xuening had just stood up when Xuan Yuanzhan pulled her back.
Caught off guard, Su Xuening fell directly into Xuan Yuanzhan's arms. Xuan Yuanzhan took the opportunity to embrace her: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that we are husband and wife? And we have already consummated our marriage."
The last sentence sounds exactly like Xuan Yuanzhan encouraging himself.
The husky voice whispered in her earlobe, making her feel weak all over for no reason.
The two were so close that Xuan Yuanzhan could smell her unique fragrance, see her delicate, porcelain-like skin, and feel the tingling sensation spraying against his neck.
Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but swallow hard and reached out to untie her clothes.
