It was unclear how much time had passed, but when Su Xuening nestled weakly in Xuan Yuanzhan's arms, Xuan Yuanzhan reluctantly released her.
Su Xuening felt as if all her strength had been drained away again. She buried her face in his chest once more and reached out her small hand to pinch his strong waist.
Has this guy forgotten that she has the Love Flower Gu inside her again?
"Mmm~" Xuan Yuanzhan trembled all over as she pinched him, and his already aroused body became even more aroused.
Xuan Yuanzhan quickly pressed down on the small hand on her waist, leaned down and gently bit her earlobe: "Ning'er, you can't pinch a man's waist."
Su Xuening was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. If her hands hadn't been held down by him, she would have definitely pinched his waist hard!
If you can't pinch, twist it. How can he be allowed to tease her but she's not allowed to do anything in return?
Xuanyuan Zhan loved her so much that holding her tightly wasn't enough; he wished he could meld her into his very bones.
After a long while, once he had calmed down a bit, Xuan Yuanzhan finally spoke, "Ning'er, let me take you to the bamboo forest in the western suburbs."
Su Xuening was used to being held by him. Even though she was strong enough to sit up on her own, she still habitually lay in his arms: "Why?"
Why are we suddenly going to the bamboo forest in the western suburbs again?
Xuan Yuanzhan played with Su Xuening's small hand and said, "That woman Long Jiaojiao is quite skilled in martial arts. It will probably take some effort to capture her alive. I think I should send you to Master first. Master is safer there. I will find a way to capture that woman Long Jiaojiao as soon as possible."
This is already the second full moon, and he doesn't want to drag things out until the third full moon. He must remove the Love Flower Gu from Ning'er's body as soon as possible!
His battle with Long Jiaojiao was inevitable.
Moreover, he should have settled the score with Long Jiaojiao long ago for the scheming she had plotted against him!
Su Xuening naturally wanted to get rid of the Love Flower Gu as soon as possible, but she had a better way than to capture the Southern Border Saintess by fighting.
“I won’t go to Master’s place; I’ll help you deal with that woman.”
Xuanyuan Zhan raised an eyebrow: "You have a plan?"
Su Xuening whispered a few words in Xuan Yuanzhan's ear, and Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes instantly lit up.
It wasn't until late at night that the two returned to the Holy King's Mansion.
Xuanyuan Zhan immediately asked Ye Yun to fetch hot water.
Xuan Yuanzhan wanted to take a hot bath with Su Xuening, since the wooden tub was big enough, but Su Xuening pushed him away: "Go wash next door!"
She doesn't want to shower with him!
Without giving Xuan Yuanzhan a chance to speak, Su Xuening slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, Xuan Yuanzhan and Ye Yun stared at each other.
Ye Yun looked at Xuan Yuanzhan with a strange expression, as if he was disgusted that his prince had not yet won over the princess, even though he had just told him to cover his ears.
Even though their ears were covered, nothing happened on the carriage?
Xuan Yuanzhan was provoked by Ye Yun's expression and glared at him unhappily, saying, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and fetch two more buckets of hot water!"
"Yes." Ye Yun dared not complain in his heart anymore and immediately went to prepare hot water.
Inside the room, Su Xuening sat in the warm water, staring intently at the blooming love flowers on her wrist. Involuntarily, she recalled the feeling that Xuan Yuanzhan had given her by the cold pool.
In an instant, the already scattered love flowers seemed to receive blood-red nourishment, spreading and blooming wildly.
Su Xuening snapped out of her daze and immediately shook her head.
No, no, I can't let my mind wander. I've finally managed to suppress the Love Flower Gu, and I can't let it flare up again!
Su Xuening submerged her head in the water, trying to force herself not to think wildly, but the suffocating feeling in the water reminded her of their entanglement in the cold pool.
...It's over, she must have been poisoned by that guy, the kind that can't be cured!
While Xuanyuan Zhan was taking a bath next door, he was thinking about Su Xuening all the time, so he didn't soak for long. He just dipped his feet in the hot water a couple of times to wash away the chill before hurrying out.
When he changed into clean clothes and returned to the main house, Su Xuening had already taken a bath and gone to bed.
Xuan Yuanzhan tiptoed onto the bed. Just as he was about to hug Su Xuening, he noticed that her hair was wet. He frowned and said, "Why did you go to sleep without drying your hair? Be careful you don't get migraines later."
As he spoke, Xuan Yuanzhan got up to get a cloth and lifted Su Xuening onto his lap to wring her hair.
"Bihe and Lülian are both asleep, and I don't want to wake them. I'm also too lazy to do it myself." Su Xuening closed her eyes and enjoyed Xuan Yuanzhan's service.
"I'll help you from now on." Xuan Yuanzhan gently and carefully twisted her hair, afraid of hurting her.
Perhaps it was because Xuan Yuanzhan's movements were too gentle, or perhaps she was too tired after a whole night of tossing and turning, Su Xuening lay on Xuan Yuanzhan's lap and fell asleep in no time.
Xuan Yuanzhan wrung out Su Xuening's hair before realizing she was asleep. He lovingly stole a kiss on her lips and then held her as they slept.
After sleeping for more than an hour, Xuanyuan Zhan went to court.
Su Xuening slept until the sun was high in the sky, and no one came to wake her.
When Su Xuening woke up, it was already noon.
When Bihe and Lülian came in to help her wash up, Su Xuening asked, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
It's already noon, getting up this late looks really bad.
Bihe smiled and said, "Before the prince went to court, he specifically instructed us not to disturb the princess's sleep."
Green Lotus also said, "The prince really dotes on the princess."
Thinking of Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Xuening's lips unconsciously curled up: "Has he finished court?"
"Not yet," Bihe said, then added, "but the Dowager Consort just sent someone to ask if you'd like to have lunch at Ningxiang Garden."
Su Xuening naturally had no reason not to go.
After washing up, she took Bihe and Lülian to Ningxiang Garden.
Madam Bai had already asked Granny Shang to wait in the courtyard. As soon as Su Xuening arrived, Granny Shang led her into the house.
"Mother."
"Don't be so polite, come and sit down." Bai Shi smiled broadly when she saw Su Xuening.
This girl is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at her. She is beautiful, well-educated, and fertile. She got pregnant just over a month after getting married. If word got out, I wonder how many mistresses in the capital would envy her!
Su Xuening sat down as instructed, and Madam Bai immediately served her a bowl of soup: "I've prepared a few refreshing stir-fries today, see if you like them?"
Su Xuening glanced at the dishes on the table and was somewhat surprised: "Thank you, Mother, these are all my favorites."
Madam Bai smiled and said, "I dare not take credit for this. It was that boy Xuanyuan Zhan who asked the main kitchen to prepare it. I knew you would like to eat it."
Su Xuening hadn't expected Xuan Yuanzhan to be so thoughtful and considerate.
However, considering that he had gone to the Liyou Pavilion specifically to prepare some of her favorite foods, it all seemed like a small matter.
