Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and while protecting Su Xuening, he unleashed his inner force to block.
With a "snap!", before Long Jiaojiao's whip could even reach Su Xuening, it was blasted away by Xuan Yuanzhan's internal force, flying straight towards the lotus pond.
Wu Huan, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared, wanting to retrieve the thorn whip for Long Jiao Jiao before it fell into the water, but it was too late.
"Thump!"
Seeing Wuhuan fall into the water along with the thorn whip, Long Jiaojiao glared at Xuanyuan Zhan with bloodshot eyes and roared without regard for anything else, "Xuanyuan Zhan, do you want her dead?"
The moment Long Jiaojiao roared those words, all the Imperial Guards in the Imperial Garden rushed into the pavilion and surrounded Long Jiaojiao.
Seeing the Imperial Guards mobilized, all the palace servants were quite frightened, and Long Jiaojiao also instantly became vigilant.
Xuan Yuanzhan first glanced down at Su Xuening in his arms. Seeing that she wasn't frightened, he then looked coldly at Long Jiaojiao: "You really think this is the Southern Frontier? That you can do whatever you want here! You should be glad you didn't hurt my queen. Otherwise, if she lost even a single hair, I would make you pay with your life!"
He could tolerate being attacked, but he absolutely could not tolerate being attacked by Ning'er!
As Xuanyuan Zhan said this, the Imperial Guards once again surrounded Long Jiaojiao.
Long Jiaojiao's expression suddenly changed. At this moment, she truly realized that this was the Eastern Chu Imperial Palace, Xuan Yuanzhan's territory, not her Southern Frontier.
However, Long Jiaojiao was, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier, and her status was special. Without Xuan Yuanzhan's real order, the Imperial Guards would not dare to actually attack her.
Of course, since Long Jiaojiao has the mother Gu in her body, Xuan Yuanzhan will not really harm her.
"I will let it go this time because you are a guest of Dongchu. But if you dare to lay a hand on my queen again, I will not be so lenient!"
If it weren't for the mother Gu, how could he have let her go!
Because of the Imperial Guards around them, Long Jiaojiao only glared fiercely at Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening, and said nothing more.
This is, after all, the Eastern Chu Imperial Palace, and she doesn't want things to get too tense!
Seeing that Long Jiaojiao had softened his stance, Xuanyuan Zhan raised his hand, and the Imperial Guards quickly withdrew from the pavilion.
Wu Huan retrieved Long Jiao Jiao's thorny whip from the lotus pond.
Long Jiaojiao grabbed the thorny whip and turned to leave with Wuwan.
However, she did not actually leave the Imperial Garden. She stopped at a secluded corner and continued to stare at the pavilion with a sinister gaze.
Inside the pavilion, Xuan Yuan Yu still stared intently at Su Xue Ning, as if he had been provoked.
Xuan Yuan Yu's undisguised resentment and jealousy made Xuan Yuan Zhan's face turn completely dark: "Xuan Yuan Yu, what's wrong with you now?"
Xuanyuan Yu didn't want to pay any attention to Xuanyuan Zhan at all, and only looked at Su Xuening, who was buried in Xuanyuan Zhan's arms, with a resentful look: "Ning'er, did Xuanyuan Zhan force you to do these things?"
If it weren't for Xuan Yuanzhan forcing her, how could she, a lady from a prestigious family, who used to be so reserved, never even letting him hold her hand since she was seven years old, do such an outrageous thing in public!
Su Feiling, who was following behind Xuan Yuanyu, looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Even now, he doesn't still think Su Xuening was forced into being with Xuan Yuanzhan, does he?
With Su Xuening's abilities, if she herself is unwilling, can Xuan Yuanzhan really force her?
Besides, they just saw it; the two of them were clearly very affectionate!
Su Xuening and Xuan Yuanzhan's original plan was just to show off their affection and provoke the Southern Border Saintess, but they didn't expect to provoke Xuan Yuanyu as well!
Just now, Xuan Yuanzhan covered her with his cloak, and she didn't want to face Long Jiaojiao and Xuan Yuanyu. She wanted to be an ostrich and leave everything to Xuan Yuanzhan. But Xuan Yuanyu just wouldn't let her go!
Having no other choice, Su Xuening could only lift her head from Xuan Yuanzhan's embrace and look at Xuan Yuanyu coldly, saying, "Please, Your Highness, have some self-respect. I am your cousin-in-law, and you should not call me by my maiden name anymore."
Compared to her shy and sweet demeanor when facing Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Xuening's attitude towards Xuan Yuanyu was not only cold but also tinged with disgust.
It's estimated that only Xuanyuan Yu himself couldn't understand it, while everyone else could see it clearly.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't believe that Su Xuening would really be so cruel to him, and suppressed his sadness as he said, "Ning'er, I want to talk to you alone."
He hadn't had a chance to speak to her alone since she got married. He had so much to say to her!
How could Su Xuening possibly want to be alone with Xuan Yuan Yu? "Your Highness, you can say whatever you want here. There are no secrets between me and my lord!"
Su Xuening's ruthlessness was undoubtedly another slap in the face to Xuan Yuan Yu, infuriating him to the point of insane jealousy.
"Come with me!" Xuan Yuan Yu was no longer willing to tolerate it and stepped forward to grab Su Xue Ning's hand.
Su Xuening was instantly terrified by Xuan Yuan Yu's crazy appearance and instinctively hid in Xuan Yuan Zhan's arms.
The instant Xuan Yuan Yu reached out, Xuan Yuan Zhan suddenly grabbed his wrist: "Xuan Yuan Yu! If you don't want your hand anymore, I can cripple it right now!"
It has to be said that Su Xuening's actions of avoiding him like the plague once again drove Xuan Yuan Yu crazy. So when Xuan Yuan Zhan made his harsh words, Xuan Yuan Yu also attacked him in a fit of rage.
Xuan Yuanzhan was naturally not afraid of Xuan Yuanyu. While fighting with Xuan Yuanyu, he didn't forget to press Su Xuening's head into his arms so she wouldn't see them fighting.
Su Xuening completely trusted Xuan Yuanzhan, nestled in his arms without moving, not disturbing his battle with Xuan Yuanyu, and not afraid at all, because she knew that Xuan Yuanzhan would not let her get hurt.
The more Su Xuening relied on Xuan Yuanzhan, the more insanely jealous Xuan Yuanyu became, and the more outrageous his actions became.
Of course, if Xuan Yuanzhan hadn't been mindful of Su Xuening in his arms, Xuan Yuanyu wouldn't have been able to fight him for so long; he would have been beaten down and thrashed long ago!
The two started fighting in the pavilion, and the imperial guards who had rushed into the pavilion earlier dared not go in to interfere with their fight.
They couldn't afford to offend either of these two, so they couldn't side with either of them!
Moreover, without the orders of the Holy Prince and the Third Prince, who would dare to interfere?
Even Ye Yun only looked at Xuan Yuanzhan with concern and did not step forward to help.
The prince's martial arts skills are far superior to those of the third prince. The third prince is definitely no match for the prince, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
Moreover, the prince and the third prince often fight, which is not something a mere guard like him can get involved in.
Of course, it wasn't just him.
Ye Yun glanced at the full moon and the waning moon that had come with Xuan Yuan Yu.
As long as those two don't move, he can't get involved!
After fighting for a while, seeing that Xuan Yuan Yu was relentlessly pestering Xuan Yuan Zhan, Su Xue Ning finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Stop fighting!"
