Linshui Pavilion.
Xuanyuan Zhan got up early specifically to accompany Su Xuening to the temple, but when he finished washing up and went out to look for Su Xuening, he found that she had already left.
"So early?" Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at the sky, which was not yet fully bright, and felt annoyed again.
Was she deliberately avoiding him, so she left before dawn?
“The princess has been gone for an hour,” Bihe replied with a bow.
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned as he looked at Bihe and Lülian: "She didn't even bring you two?"
What exactly does she do at the temple every day? She doesn't take anyone with her.
Bihe and Lülian felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this.
It seems that since Miss married into the Holy King's Mansion, she has rarely had them serve her anymore, and she rarely takes them with her wherever she goes.
I don't know if there's something wrong with what they did?
Having gotten up very early but still missing it, Xuan Yuanzhan was so frustrated that he practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard again.
Ye Yun looked helplessly at Xuan Yuanzhan, who was flying up and down without any restraint, and was extremely worried.
The prince is covered in wounds, and it's unclear whether they've fully healed. He spends his days drinking and practicing swordsmanship, doesn't he worry about reopening his wounds?
Just as Ye Yun was worrying, Mu Lingchen came over.
Today, Mu Lingchen was dressed in a moon-white long robe, which gave him a rather elegant and refined air.
"Hey, you're in good spirits, getting up so early to practice your swordplay!" Mu Lingchen couldn't help but tease, seeing Xuan Yuanzhan fighting fiercely against the begonia petals.
Xuanyuan Zhan seemed not to hear Mu Lingchen's teasing and continued to chop at the falling crabapple petals.
Upon seeing Mu Lingchen arrive, Ye Yun immediately rushed over to plead for help: "Lord Marquis, you've come at the right time! Please help persuade the Prince. He's still injured, and it would be troublesome if his wounds were reopened."
Mu Lingchen was obedient and went straight to Xuan Yuanzhan.
Seeing Mu Lingchen rush off to find Xuan Yuanzhan so abruptly, Ye Yun was truly terrified for him.
Swords have no eyes, and the prince is in a bad mood, so the marquis is truly not afraid!
Xuan Yuanzhan was venting his anger on the begonia flower when he saw Mu Lingchen coming to get in his way. He could only stop awkwardly and glared at him impatiently: "What are you doing here?"
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's childish expression, Mu Lingchen couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, the tree is completely bare, just let him go."
Mu Lingchen took the sword directly from his hand: "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
"Where to?" Xuan Yuanzhan didn't want to go anywhere and was very impatient.
"Anyway, my little cousin isn't paying attention to you. Instead of staying here and brooding, why don't you go out for a walk?" Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Lingchen pulled him away.
Mu Lingchen was deliberately bringing up a sore spot. Thinking about how he was disliked, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't even have the will to resist and was just dragged away by Mu Lingchen.
Mu Lingchen pulled Xuan Yuanzhan into the carriage.
Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan was sitting silently, Mu Lingchen poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "It seems that you were really drunk the night before last. You didn't even take the opportunity to make up with my little cousin. I even created an opportunity for you."
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at him: "Thanks for that night."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingchen's eyes lit up: "You still know how to thank me? So, something did happen that night."
Mu Lingchen crept closer, looking like he was ready to listen to some gossip.
Seeing Mu Lingchen's cheeky appearance, Xuan Yuanzhan slapped him on the forehead with disgust and pushed him away: "Just tell me where you want to take me?"
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's expression, Mu Lingchen knew that they hadn't completely reconciled yet. He sighed and said, "Seeing that you're in a bad mood, I'll take you to the villa to relax. Wasn't your love potion cured? We can go to my villa for a hot spring bath."
Xuanyuan Zhan remained noncommittal. He had never actually soaked in a hot spring, but he did soak in a cold pool every month.
An hour later, Xuan Yuanzhan sat in the hot spring pool in the backyard of Mu Lingchen Manor.
He used to soak in cold pools, but this was his first time in a hot spring. The warm and soothing feeling was quite different from the icy cold of a pool.
Seeing him relaxing in the hot spring, Mu Lingchen smiled and said, "Looks like your Love Flower Gu has really been cured?"
If he doesn't understand, he can't possibly soak in this hot spring.
Xuan Yuanzhan didn't want to talk much about his Love Flower Gu.
Since he couldn't find that woman from Hantan, he didn't want to look for her anymore. Now he just wanted to live a good life with Su Xuening.
"Are you really not going to see that woman anymore? Does my little cousin know about these things?" Mu Lingchen was very curious about how Xuan Yuanzhan was afflicted with the Love Flower Gu and then inexplicably cured of it, as well as the relationship between Xuan Yuanzhan, that mysterious woman, and his cousin Ning'er.
Before Mu Lingchen could speak, Xuan Yuanzhan shot him a sharp glare.
"Ahem!" Mu Lingchen coughed lightly and quickly assured her, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and I definitely won't tell my little cousin anything."
Xuanyuan Zhan sighed again, lay back on the water, and muttered, "It'll be brought up sooner or later."
He had originally planned to tell her, but she'd been having a tantrum lately, so he hadn't had a chance.
Actually, he wasn't sure himself. He was afraid that if he told her, they would never be able to go back to how things were before, so he kept putting it off.
As Xuan Yuanzhan lay on his back, Mu Lingchen immediately noticed the teeth marks on his shoulder and asked curiously, "Who bit you on the shoulder?"
It's really no wonder Mu Lingchen was curious. The main reason is that Xuan Yuanzhan has never been interested in women. Suddenly, he has two women involved. One helped him get rid of the curse, and the other helped him get a happy marriage. They have a deep connection, so how could people not be curious?
"Curiosity killed the cat!" Xuan Yuanzhan ignored him and simply covered his face with a wet cloth.
"Alright! You're so tight-lipped, I won't ask anymore. Take your time soaking in the water. It's a rare treat to come here, so soak a little longer." Seeing that Xuan Yuanzhan didn't intend to speak, Mu Lingchen wisely stopped asking and got up to leave.
He didn't just bring Xuanyuan Zhan to the hot springs; there were other things at the resort that he needed to take care of, and he took advantage of Xuanyuan Zhan's time to do so.
Without Mu Lingchen's constant chatter, things became much quieter, and Xuan Yuanzhan was finally able to soak in the hot spring in peace.
Mu Lingchen's villa is connected to a mountain range. Apart from the sounds of the wind, insects, and the occasional birds and animals, there is not much noise, and it is indeed very quiet.
Enjoying the rare tranquility and the soothing warmth of the pool, Xuan Yuanzhan felt so comfortable that he wanted to fall asleep.
Just as Xuanyuan Zhan was about to fall asleep, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly removed the wet cloth from his face, revealing a face with an exotic look that appeared before him unexpectedly.
"It's you!" Upon seeing Long Jiaojiao, Xuanyuan Zhan immediately leaned back warily.
Long Jiaojiao stepped into the hot spring pool, her slender fingers reaching out to wickedly lift his chin: "Ah Zhan, Ah Zhan, you are so heartless. This holy maiden has cured you of the love flower curse, why don't you come to see me?"
