Su Xuening didn't love Xuan Yuanzhan because of who he was; she fell in love with him because she mistook him for someone else.
Actually, the person she loved wasn't Xuan Yuanzhan at all, but him!!!
Xuanyuan Yu's mood immediately brightened, and he felt a refreshing sense of relief, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon!
"I'll go find Ning'er now and explain things to her."
Xuanyuan Yu turned around impatiently to find Su Xuening, but was stopped by Long Jiaojiao: "What's the use of talking to her now? She's already mistaken you for someone else. She won't believe anything you say!"
Xuan Yuan Yu froze, thinking of how Su Xue Ning trusted Xuan Yuan Zhan completely. He frowned and looked at Long Jiao Jiao: "What can you do to make her believe me?"
Long Jiaojiao's alluring eyes darted around: "Actually, if you just tell Su Xuening what I told you, she should believe you. Also, she once bit your shoulder, but the wound wasn't deep and didn't leave any marks."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu subconsciously touched his shoulder, realizing he had absolutely no recollection of these events.
However, this woman probably had no reason to fabricate such a lie to deceive him.
Seeing his skeptical expression, Long Jiaojiao continued, "Now that Su Xuening has mistaken Xuan Yuanzhan for you, she can't possibly come out to see you alone. We need to find a suitable opportunity so that you can see Su Xuening alone and tell her the truth!"
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Long Jiaojiao suspiciously: "Why are you helping me?"
"Hasn't this Holy Maiden made it clear yet? This Holy Maiden wants Xuan Yuanzhan, and you want Su Xuening. We're a perfect match!" Long Jiaojiao said, giving Xuan Yuanyu a flirtatious wink.
Xuanyuan Yu frowned, but the thought of Su Xuening filled him with joy: "Okay, let's cooperate!"
He would do anything as long as he could clear up the misunderstanding with Ning'er and make her fall in love with him!
It was late at night when Long Jiaojiao came out of Xuanyuan Yu's room. Wuwan followed behind her and whispered, "Can Xuanyuan Yu believe you brainwashing him like this?"
Long Jiaojiao coldly scoffed, "Xuanyuan Yu is a fool, obsessed with Su Xuening to the point of madness. His obsession with Su Xuening doesn't allow him to disbelieve this Holy Maiden!"
Even though Xuanyuan Yu still had the rationality to know that what she said was a lie, his deep infatuation with Su Xuening would make him blindly believe her!
Unlike Long Jiaojiao, Wuwan frowned and said, "But will this method work? What if Xuanyuan Zhan has already told his queen about the whole thing? Wouldn't your plan have failed?"
The tasks that the Holy Maiden asked Xuan Yuan Yu to undertake all depended on the premise that the couple had not yet recognized each other. If they had already recognized each other, then the Holy Maiden's plan was destined to fail.
“Xuanyuan Zhan probably hasn’t said anything yet.” Long Jiaojiao was quite confident about this.
If Xuan Yuanzhan had told Su Xuening the whole truth, why didn't they consummate their marriage on the night of the full moon to restrain the love flower poison? Why did Xuan Yuanzhan need to go through all that trouble to learn some secret techniques for serving women at a brothel?
Moreover, she would sense if they consummated their marriage. She knew they hadn't consummated their marriage all this time, so they must not have revealed the truth yet. Su Xuening was afraid of causing Xuan Yuanzhan's death, so she hadn't dared to consummate their marriage.
As for Xuanyuan Zhan, he was probably worried that she would really kill the mother Gu, so he kept his promise.
"What if..." Karasumaru was still worried.
Long Jiaojiao waved her hand casually: "Don't worry, Xuan Yuan Yu is just one part of my plan. Even if Xuan Yuan Yu fails, it won't affect my ability to win over Xuan Yuan Zhan. This time, I will succeed no matter what!"
Long Jiaojiao's gaze was firm, his face showing determination!
Karasuma glanced at the expression on Long Jiaojiao's face, and his eyes involuntarily dimmed.
Xuanyuan Zhan and Su Xuening were unaware of the sordid affairs in the palace. He held Su Xuening in his arms and slept peacefully through the night.
The next day, after attending court, Xuan Yuanzhan went to the imperial study to review memorials. There, he heard Xuan Yuanpeng ask, "What's going on between you and that Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier?"
He heard yesterday that they almost got into a fight in the Imperial Garden.
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't even raise his head before saying disdainfully, "I had some grudges with her back in Xiangnan, but we'll settle those privately. Now that she's here as a guest in Dongchu, I won't make things difficult for her!"
Once that woman leaves Dongchu, he will settle all his scores and grievances!
Xuanyuan Peng really didn't expect that these two not only had no feelings for each other, but also had enmity. But didn't that Southern Border Saintess seem to really like this brat?
Xuanyuan Peng glanced at Xuanyuan Zhan, who was engrossed in reviewing memorials, and could understand him somewhat.
This guy probably only cares about his queen; no other woman catches his eye, and he's clueless about other women. That's why he can't see other women's feelings for him and has even made enemies with them.
However, his ability to put his personal grudges before national affairs is commendable!
"Alright, I don't care what grudges or grievances you have, and I don't want to interfere. The Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang has come to bid me farewell today."
"Saying goodbye?" Xuan Yuanzhan finally raised his head in shock: "She's leaving?"
Xuanyuan Peng nodded: "Yes, she said she'll be leaving in the next few days. I plan to give her a farewell dinner tonight. You and your princess consort should come too!"
Xuan Yuanzhan's gray eyes shimmered slightly; he neither refused nor agreed.
Did he and Ning'er really provoke that woman Long Jiaojiao too much yesterday? Is that why she's leaving?
No!
There must be some conspiracy involved, otherwise, given Long Jiaojiao's personality, he wouldn't have compromised so easily!
Because he had something on his mind, Xuanyuan Zhan didn't stay in the imperial study for long before returning home.
Xuanyuan Peng thought there would be a farewell banquet that evening, so he didn't ask him to stay.
When Xuan Yuanzhan returned to the Holy King's Mansion, Su Xuening had just gotten up and was about to go to accompany Bai Shi when she saw Xuan Yuanzhan in his arms. She asked in surprise, "Why are you back so early today? Don't you need to help review the memorials?"
Xuan Yuanzhan stepped forward, took her hand, and led her back to the room. He then waved away the people inside, saying, "That woman, Long Jiaojiao, is leaving."
"So fast!" Su Xuening was also surprised, and frowned, "This shouldn't be the case. We provoked her so much yesterday, and she just left like that?"
Xuan Yuanzhan narrowed his eyes and said, "She said goodbye to Xuan Yuanpeng today, but this matter is probably not that simple. She's probably up to something bad!"
Su Xuening suddenly realized: "Perhaps we provoked her too much yesterday, and she couldn't wait any longer."
Xuanyuan Zhan held her hand in his palm and played with it: "Xuanyuan Peng has prepared a farewell banquet for her tonight, shall we go?"
Su Xuening also thought of something and curled her lips into a smile: "Since she's coming for us, if we don't go, how can she continue this act!"
Moreover, they were just waiting for her to put on this show; whether they could get the mother Gu depended on this opportunity.
