As Xuan Yuanzhan applied the medicine to Su Xuening, he kept a close eye on Su Xuening's fair wrist.
Su Xuening was terrified. This was no longer a matter of reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra; she closed her eyes and recalled all the blood feuds from her past life.
Her father was murdered on the battlefield, her mother was imprisoned, her son had his heart ripped out, and everything in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion was usurped by the second branch of the Su family. As for her, she pretended to be crazy for so many years, but no one could protect her. In the end, even Yun'an was violated and torn apart by five horses.
Thinking of the blood feuds from her past life, Su Xuening instantly became calm as still water. All desires and emotions remained, leaving only a heart full of hatred and anger.
Xuan Yuanzhan applied the medicine for a while, occasionally blowing on her wound, hoping that love flowers would bloom on her wrist. However, even after the medicine was applied, there was still no sign of it.
Xuan Yuanzhan looked up at Su Xuening again and saw that she had her eyes closed and her face was slightly red, as if she was a little shy.
That shouldn't be happening!
If she really was under the influence of the Love Flower Gu, given his condition, there's no way her wrist wouldn't have reacted!
What exactly happened?
Could it be that she really isn't a woman from the Cold Pool, and he's just overthinking things?
Su Xuening completely suppressed the thoughts she shouldn't have before slowly opening her eyes.
Seeing that no red flowers or branches had grown on her wrist, Su Xuening silently breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her wrist: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xuan Yuanzhan was genuinely disappointed that he didn't see what he wanted to see.
However, it's possible that I didn't flirt with her enough. Just a little teasing wasn't enough to move her. I need to keep trying!
There will be another chance later.
Xuan Yuanzhan thought for a moment and then placed the ointment on the small table beside the bed: "Apply this ointment twice a day. I'll apply it for you again tomorrow morning."
...Su Xuening's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Are you coming again tomorrow morning?
"These small matters can be handled by Bihe and Lülian from now on, so there's no need to trouble Your Highness."
To prevent him from applying the ointment, Su Xuening simply took it away.
Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to apply the ointment to her, but seeing that she seemed unwilling, and considering that applying the ointment wouldn't arouse her, he didn't insist anymore: "Alright, just don't forget to apply it."
"No, Your Majesty, I will apply it every day until the wound heals," Su Xuening assured him.
Since the scars on her face are useless to Xuan Yuan Yu, there's no need to keep them. She had planned to heal them anyway, so why not use Xuan Yuan Zhan's ointment to heal the scars on her face?
Xuan Yuanzhan understood what Su Xuening was saying. Seeing that she was willing to treat his injuries, Xuan Yuanzhan was quite happy: "Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, or if the treatment is slow, we'll find another doctor to take a look."
If she is willing to seek treatment, there will definitely be a way to heal her injuries.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Su Xuening said gratefully.
"It's getting late, let's rest."
Xuanyuan Zhan's hands were sticky, so he got up and went to the side room to wash them.
Su Xuening breathed a sigh of relief after he left.
Thankfully, she managed to control herself, otherwise she would have been completely ruined!
Su Xuening glanced at the medicine box in her hand, opened it, and smelled it to discern the medicine's effects.
The medicine was indeed quite good, as it came from the imperial physician. However, it was far inferior to the medicine she and her master used. If she applied this medicine, it would take at least a year or two to recover.
Su Xuening planned to replace the ointment with her own. She didn't expect it to heal completely in three to five days, but seven or eight days would be enough.
When Xuan Yuanzhan returned after washing his hands, Su Xuening was already in bed. However, she slept in a separate bed for herself, and a separate bed was prepared for him as well.
...Xuanyuan Zhan was unhappy.
He had originally wanted to try again, but how could he try these two blankets now?
Su Xuening closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring why Xuan Yuanzhan was standing by the bed without moving.
She's "asleep," so he probably won't do those things to her anymore.
Xuanyuan Zhan really didn't know how to start.
After standing by the bed for a while, Xuan Yuanzhan went to extinguish the candle and came back to lie down in the bed that Su Xuening had arranged for him.
He wanted to shamelessly crawl into her bed, but unfortunately, he wasn't thick-skinned enough.
Seeing that she had her eyes closed, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't dare to say a word to her and just looked at her sideways.
Is Su Xuening really that woman from Han Tan?
He was actually very conflicted. On one hand, he hoped she was the one, so he wouldn't have to look for other women; she would be his only one. To be honest, if it were another woman he didn't know, he would still feel resistant; deep down, he still hoped she would be his only woman.
However, if she really is that woman from the Cold Pool, then she is currently afflicted by the Love Flower Gu. He himself had been afflicted by the Love Flower Gu for three years, and he knew all too well the torment it caused, especially during the full moon, which was truly unbearable. He didn't want her to suffer like that, but the crucial point was that he had no way to remove the Love Flower Gu.
As Master Daoyi said, the Love Flower Gu could even be passed on to their child, which is something he definitely doesn't want to see.
So he was really conflicted, hoping she was, yet also hoping she wasn't.
Two little figures were constantly fighting in Xuan Yuanzhan's mind, as if they were trying to split him apart.
In the end, Xuanyuan Zhan didn't know how he fell asleep, but it seemed that he could fall asleep very easily whenever he lay next to her.
Su Xuening heard Xuan Yuanzhan's breathing before she secretly opened her eyes.
Seeing that he was asleep, Su Xuening finally relaxed completely.
If she could endure another month, she would have a reason to sleep in a separate bed from him.
However, this man was a decent gentleman; he never did anything to her after she "fell asleep," so his claim of being averse to women wasn't fake. She even suspected that yesterday he might have only wanted to be with her because they were husband and wife...
The kiss from last night involuntarily surfaced in my mind.
I can't think about it!!!
Before she could get emotional again, Su Xuening suddenly gritted her teeth, pulled the covers over her head again, and began to silently recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.
This Love Flower Gu is really too torturous. You really can't think about these things at all, let alone have any random or messy thoughts.
She remembered that in her past life, she was also afflicted by the Love Flower Gu, but she had no men around her. It was really only occasionally, probably once a month. Although it was tough, she survived it.
After giving birth, she no longer experienced such hardship, and the most difficult time of the month was gone. In her past life, she didn't understand; it must have been because her Love Flower Gu had disappeared. But she hadn't done anything in her past life, so the Love Flower Gu wouldn't disappear for no reason. That's why she's now worried that the Love Flower Gu might harm her child.
In her past life, her child was killed at birth. In this life, she must protect her child and remove the Love Flower Gu so as not to truly harm the child!
