On the rooftop, Xuan Yuanzhan looked down at the men and women intertwined and undulating in the red tent below, and felt so disgusted that he felt like his eyes had developed sores.
Especially when Xuan Yuan Yu kept calling out "Ning'er," Xuan Yuan Zhan felt like he wanted to go down and strangle Xuan Yuan Yu.
That damned Xuanyuan Yu, how dare he harbor such fantasies about Ning'er! He deserves to become Long Jiaojiao's cauldron, having his yang energy drained by her!
The dragon-like creature inside the red tent seemed to sense something. It glanced at the roof and, while desperately absorbing Xuan Yuan Yu's yang energy, cried out even more wildly, as if deliberately provoking Xuan Yuan Zhan.
Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Zhan only felt disgusted, which amplified his aversion to her.
Long Jiaojiao is really something. She got into Xuan Yuan Yu's bed in just one day. She really couldn't wait even a day!
Xuan Yuanzhan had no interest in watching their lovemaking. After confirming that Long Jiaojiao was with Xuan Yuanyu, he returned to Jinhua Palace.
He didn't know which palace Xuanyuan Peng had arranged for Long Jiaojiao to stay in, but he did know that Long Jiaojiao had a secret guard.
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Zhan sensed the presence of the Wuhuan in one of the palaces of the Jinhua Palace.
Xuanyuan Zhan did not force his way into the house, but instead said sarcastically in a cold voice, "You are really generous. Long Jiaojiao is having a good time in Jingfeng Palace, while you are here guarding the house for her."
Wu Huan appeared, looking at Xuan Yuanzhan with an unpleasant expression: "With me here, you can't get into this room."
Xuanyuan Zhan scoffed disdainfully, "What? You think you can stop me?"
Karasuma's expression turned even more unpleasant. In terms of martial arts, he was indeed no match for him!
"I can't stop you, but you can't find the mother Gu either!"
Xuanyuan Zhan's gaze suddenly turned cold as he stared at Wuwan and said, "Actually, we can cooperate. You give me the mother Gu, and I can help you get that woman!"
Wu Huan completely ignored Xuan Yuanzhan's attempt to sow discord: "I will not betray the Holy Maiden!"
The saintess said that no matter how many men she has, in the end, only he will stay by her side!
...Xuanyuan Zhan was immediately speechless.
That woman, Long Jiaojiao, really knows how to manage men. Despite her wanton behavior, she can still make so many men devoted to her and willing to risk their lives for her!
Xuanyuan Zhan felt that Wuwan didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that the mother Gu wasn't in this palace?
However, the palace is currently guarded by Wuhuan, so even if he gets in, it's unlikely he can take away the mother Gu. Since he now knows which palace Long Jiaojiao lives in, he might as well go back first and explore it again later when he has the chance.
Xuanyuan Zhan leaped into the air and disappeared into the darkness.
As Wuwan watched Xuanyuan Zhan's disappearing figure, he glanced back at Jingfeng Palace not far away, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart. However, he remained standing guard in Jinhua Hall without moving.
Xuanyuan Zhan left the palace and returned to the Holy King's Mansion.
Back in the main house, Su Xuening was still asleep.
Xuan Yuanzhan took off his night clothes and quietly got into bed, but instead of sleeping in his own quilt, he crawled into Su Xuening's quilt.
He gently stroked her still flat stomach with his large hand, feeling the surge of blood flowing between them.
He had to find the mother Gu no matter what; he couldn't harm Ning'er and the child at the same time.
Now that Long Jiaojiao is in the capital, it's an opportunity for him; otherwise, he would have to go to the Southern Frontier to find her.
He must seize this opportunity to obtain the mother Gu!
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't sleep all night and got up early the next morning.
Su Xuening was awakened by his noise. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she frowned and asked, "Why is Your Highness up so early?"
Seeing that Su Xuening had been woken up, Xuan Yuanzhan quickly explained, "The person from yesterday sent someone to tell me to go to court today."
Su Xuening was stunned. He had been back in the capital for more than a month, and it was indeed time for him to go to court.
Su Xuening wanted to get up to help Xuan Yuanzhan change his clothes, but Xuan Yuanzhan pressed her back down: "It's not dawn yet, you should sleep a little longer."
Xuanyuan Zhan quickly dressed himself and tiptoed out.
After Xuan Yuanzhan left, Su Xuening lost her composure.
She lay in bed lost in thought for a while, and didn't get up until dawn.
After a quick wash and breakfast, Su Xuening took Bihe and Lülian out.
Because she didn't know how to explain her whereabouts to Madam Bai, Su Xuening didn't report to Madam Bai before leaving the mansion.
Su Xuening originally wanted to check her birth date and time with the official matchmaker first, but the matchmakers and fortune tellers in Kyoto did not have such a special birth date and time, so she could only try her luck with the official matchmaker.
But the thought that Xuan Yuan Yu had such a birth date and time made her uneasy again.
She knew that the man in the cold pool that night was definitely not Xuan Yuan Yu, but she still had to find out the truth. She wouldn't be at ease until she found out!
Su Xuening took a deep breath and said to Ye Yu, who was driving, "Let's go to the Imperial Observatory first."
"Yes." Ye Yu didn't ask any questions and turned his horse around to head towards the Imperial Observatory.
The Imperial Observatory's office was located next to the Imperial Palace and was considered part of the Imperial Palace.
With the token from the Holy King's Mansion in hand, Su Xuening successfully led Bihe and Lülian into the Imperial Observatory.
When Li Si, the director of the Imperial Observatory, heard that Su Xuening had arrived at the Imperial Observatory, he immediately led a group of subordinates out to greet her: "Your subject pays respects to the Holy Princess."
"No need for formalities," Su Xuening said personally.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone then stood up.
"I wonder what brings Your Highness to the Imperial Observatory today?" Director Li Si asked Su Xuening cautiously.
He also attended the Emperor's birthday banquet yesterday; the Holy Princess's favor with the Emperor is truly remarkable.
The Emperor's most favored people were the Holy Princess Dowager and the Holy Prince, while the Holy Princess Dowager and the Holy Prince's most favored person was this Holy Princess!
The person you absolutely cannot offend in the entire capital city right now is this Holy Princess, so you have to be careful and attentive to her.
Su Xuening waved to the officials behind Li Si: "Li Jianzheng is here to answer my questions. Everyone else, go about your business."
"We take our leave."
These officials dared not disobey, and they all bowed and withdrew.
After everyone had left, Su Xuening looked at Li Si and said, "The Imperial Observatory should have the birth dates and times of all members of our Xuanyuan royal family, right?"
Li Si paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
In addition to observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars, the Imperial Observatory also kept the birth dates and times of all members of the Xuanyuan royal family, which could be considered as a way to understand destiny and match birth dates and times.
Su Xuening was overjoyed and immediately said, "Then may I take out these birth dates and times and have them taken a look?"
Li Si was immediately put in a difficult position: "You also know that the Emperor's birth date and time cannot be revealed. Please, Your Highness, do not make things difficult for me."
Su Xuening had no interest in the Emperor's birth date and time, because it couldn't possibly be the Emperor. Besides, the Emperor's birthday was yesterday, so the birth date and time didn't match.
"I didn't say I wanted to see the Emperor's birth date and time. Apart from the Emperor, I should be able to see the birth dates and times of other people!"
Asking Xuan Yuan Yu alone felt a bit too abrupt, so she decided to look at everyone's birth dates and times, just in case there were other members of the Xuan Yuan royal family with similar birth dates and times.
