"Cough cough!" Mu Lingchen choked on the wine and coughed several times before he could catch his breath. He stared at Xuan Yuanzhan in disbelief: "Is there something wrong with my ears? Or is there something wrong with your mouth? I actually heard a woman coming from your mouth?"
Wasn't this guy supposed to be averse to women and avoid them like the plague?
Why are you suddenly bringing up women?
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at him, but didn't answer. He continued to hold the wine jar and pour wine.
Mu Lingchen, however, became interested and moved her stool next to him: "Don't tell me you only asked me to come out and drink with you because of a woman!"
This time, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't even bother to glance at him when he asked that question.
Having grown up together since childhood, how could Mu Lingchen not know what Xuan Yuanzhan was thinking? His silence was the most powerful answer: "So you really are doing this for a woman? For whom?"
Mu Lingchen was really curious, mainly because this guy had never been interested in women before. This time, it was like the sun had risen in the west.
Mu Lingchen actually asked him who he was doing this for? Xuan Yuanzhan glared at him angrily again: "Who else could I be doing this for? Do you think I'm such a disrespectful person?"
"Pfft!" Luckily, Mu Lingchen didn't have any wine in his mouth, otherwise he would have spat it out.
He must have been possessed by a ghost today, otherwise how could he have heard such disgusting words coming from Xuan Yuanzhan's mouth?!
He's even brought up the virtue of male virtue. Is this still the Xuanyuan Zhan he knows?
But what he said...
Mu Lingchen finally realized who he was talking about: "You're drinking because of my little cousin? That doesn't make sense. My little cousin is so gentle and quiet. What did she do to you to drive you like this?"
They had only met once since he woke up, and they barely exchanged a few words before he went back. He had completely forgotten about his marriage to his cousin Ning'er.
"What do you mean 'your family'? She's my princess now!" Mu Lingchen kept calling her "my little cousin," which made Xuan Yuanzhan extremely jealous.
"Cough!" Mu Lingchen was completely defeated by Xuan Yuanzhan, and tried hard to suppress his laughter as he teased, "Xuan Yuanzhan, you've been poisoned by my little cousin, haven't you!"
How could Xuanyuan Zhan have ever said such a thing before?
But he's only been married to his cousin Ning'er for a month, how could he be so severely poisoned in just one month?
Xuanyuan Zhan still didn't want to talk to him and continued to drink alone.
Mu Lingchen, however, was extremely curious: "Tell me, what happened between you two?"
Xuanyuan Zhan remained silent, only drinking in silence.
He didn't want to tell anyone about his relationship with her, not even Mu Lingchen.
Mu Lingchen stayed with Xuan Yuanzhan until midnight, but couldn't get Xuan Yuanzhan to talk. Xuan Yuanzhan, on the other hand, drank two whole jars of wine, finishing not only his own jar but also Mu Lingchen's.
If Mu Lingchen hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to drink it.
"Alright, stop drinking. It's getting late, we should head back."
Mu Lingchen threw the empty wine jar in Xuan Yuanzhan's hand and then called Ye Yun over.
When Ye Yun saw that Xuan Yuanzhan was so drunk he couldn't even stand, he immediately became anxious: "My lord, didn't I ask you to keep an eye on our prince? How could you let him get so drunk?"
While supporting Xuan Yuanzhan, Mu Lingchen said, "If I don't keep an eye on him, do you believe I could drink all the wine in Yunhe Tower?"
Ye Yun didn't dare to disbelieve it, and together with Mu Lingchen, they helped Xuan Yuanzhan out.
"What's the situation between your prince and your princess?" Mu Lingchen couldn't get any information out of Xuan Yuanzhan, so she tried to get it out of Ye Yun.
Ye Yun dared not say anything more: "I'm just a guard, how would I know anything about this?"
They probably don't even know what happened to their own prince. How would he know?
Besides, even if he knew, he shouldn't gossip about his master's private affairs!
The two of them helped Xuan Yuanzhan into the carriage, and Mu Lingchen followed suit.
Ye Yun looked at Mu Lingchen and said, "There's no need to trouble the Marquis. I will take the Prince back."
“This is the first time I’ve seen him so drunk. How can I let him go back to the palace alone? I’d better take him back myself,” Mu Lingchen said, supporting Xuan Yuanzhan.
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan could barely sit still by himself, Ye Yun didn't say anything more and drove back to the Holy King's Mansion.
Upon arriving at the Holy King's Mansion, the two of them helped Xuan Yuanzhan back to the Linshui Pavilion.
Mu Lingchen had no idea that Xuan Yuanzhan had been sleeping in the side room since yesterday, so she went straight over and knocked on the door of the main house.
Ye Yun wanted to stop him, but after glancing at Xuan Yuanzhan, who was so drunk, he shut his mouth.
Since the prince is so drunk, it's probably best for the princess to take care of him.
Moreover, the atmosphere between the prince and princess is delicate. Sending the prince back to the main house might reconcile the young couple.
As the saying goes, young couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed! Sending the prince back to the main house is still the best course of action.
Inside the house, Su Xuening was half-asleep when she heard a knock on the door, and thought she was dreaming.
These past two days, she has been preoccupied with many thoughts and has been sleeping restlessly, tossing and turning as if she had just fallen asleep when she had this dream again.
"Knock knock knock!" Outside, Mu Lingchen knocked on the door twice but no one answered, so he knocked three more times.
Su Xuening heard the knocking again and finally realized she wasn't dreaming, so she quickly opened her eyes.
Since the incident at the Cold Pool, she rarely had Green Lotus and Green Lotus keep watch at night, and this became an even more common practice after she married into the Holy King's Mansion.
Su Xuening had no choice but to get up herself, put on her coat, and go out to open the door.
Upon seeing Mu Lingchen at the door, Su Xuening was visibly stunned for a moment: "Cousin Chen?"
