Su Xuening saw Xuan Yuanzhan's shame and self-blame, and her heart immediately felt heavy.
Now she understood a little better; he was actually more angry with her than with her!
Although he always called her Bai Fuya, he probably cared a lot about the Dowager Consort deep down.
Looking back, how could they, a mother and son, an orphan and a widow, not care about each other?
Perhaps the Dowager Princess understood him, so whenever he lost his temper, she always indulged him and never truly blamed him.
Su Xuening didn't try to persuade her anymore, because she knew that the mother and son understood each other and were both working hard to be each other's support, so they didn't need her to comfort them at all!
Silently bandaging his wound, Su Xuening then covered him with a blanket: "Your Highness, please get some sleep. You won't feel the pain when you're asleep."
Su Xuening was about to get up and leave when Xuan Yuanzhan pulled her back.
Su Xuening stumbled and fell directly into Xuan Yuanzhan's chest.
Su Xuening was afraid of pressing on his wound and hurriedly tried to get up, but Xuan Yuanzhan refused to let go: "Don't move, just lie here with me for a while."
"Your Highness is injured." Su Xuening frowned, not daring to move for fear of touching his wounds.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Xuan Yuanzhan said softly, pressing his head against hers.
Seeing how he always described his injuries so casually, Su Xuening was both amused and exasperated.
This guy really doesn't take his body seriously; he's probably been injured quite a few times before.
Su Xuening originally only wanted to comfort Xuan Yuanzhan, thinking that she would get up after lying in his arms for a while, but she didn't expect to fall asleep while lying down.
Xuan Yuanzhan only realized she had fallen asleep when he heard Su Xuening's even breathing.
She hadn't slept for a day and a night. Not only was she busy all day and night yesterday, but she was also at the palace this morning. She must be exhausted after not resting for so long.
Looking at her beautiful features, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but gently lift the veil from her face.
Her stunningly beautiful face was revealed, and Xuan Yuanzhan was once again amazed.
She was truly beautiful, so pure and sacred that no one dared to approach her. Perhaps she was even more beautiful than the fairies of the Heavenly Palace!
Xuanyuan Zhan leaned closer to examine the wound on her face and discovered that the thick scar had completely disappeared. The wound was now as flawless as the rest of her face, and her skin was as delicate and translucent as a freshly peeled egg.
Xuan Yuanzhan stared intently at her face, so perfect that not a single pore could be seen, so delicate and tender as a baby's. He couldn't help but lower his head. As soon as his thin lips touched hers, she seemed to feel a tickle, twitched her nose, and snuggled into his arms.
Xuanyuan Zhan was so frightened that he dared not move until she found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to sleep soundly. Only then did his stiff body relax a little, and he dared not have any evil thoughts. He then shared half of the blanket with her.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't slept for a long time, or perhaps it was because Su Xuening was in his arms, he fell asleep in no time.
The two slept until the next morning.
Because they had gotten enough sleep, both of them woke up very early.
The first thing Su Xuening did upon waking up was to check Xuan Yuanzhan's wound. Seeing that the wound had begun to scab over, Su Xuening breathed a sigh of relief: "The wound is healing quite well, but Your Highness should rest and not attend the hunting competition today."
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned: "How can that be? How can we change things so easily after we've made a plan?"
They have important things to do at today's hunting festival!
"But His Highness's injuries are serious..."
"I already said it's a minor injury, I'm fine."
Before Su Xuening could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanzhan sat up abruptly.
Su Xuening felt somewhat helpless, but considering her plan, it was indeed best if Xuan Yuanzhan was present.
"Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort." It was Bihe's voice from outside.
Su Xuening got up and went to open the door.
Bihe and Lülian were outside when they carried a basin of water into the house.
Originally, they were also supposed to help Xuan Yuanzhan with his washing and grooming, but Xuan Yuanzhan had never had any maids around him since he was a child and was not used to being served by them, so he put on his clothes and went to the side room next door to have Ye Yun help him with his washing and grooming.
"Miss, your facial injury has healed!"
While helping Su Xuening wash up, Bihe and Lülian noticed that the injuries on Su Xuening's face had completely healed.
"There's not a single scar left, it looks exactly the same as before the injury!"
Bihe carefully observed Su Xuening's face and said happily.
Green Lotus also laughed and said, "What kind of miraculous medicine did Miss obtain? It's so effective!"
She had thought that the injury on her young lady's face could be healed, but she never expected it to be healed so quickly, and so perfectly, without a trace.
Su Xuening only found out that her face had completely healed after they told her.
Looking at the two identical faces reflected in the bronze mirror, Su Xuening didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Her face is healed, but this will probably make it even harder for her to get rid of Xuanyuan Yu.
However, Xuan Yuanzhan was right. That person's obsession with her had become pathological. He would not give up because of the injury on her face. Even though he had long since despised her, his pathological obsession still drove him to want her.
Since you can't get rid of him, there's no need to keep putting on an ugly face for someone like that.
"I'm going to the hunting grounds today, so a simple and neat bun will do."
Although her face had healed, Su Xuening didn't want to show it yet. Firstly, she didn't want others to know that her face had healed so quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion. Secondly, wearing a veil could block out a lot of troublesome gazes and make her feel a little more at ease.
Because she had to wear a veil, Bihe and Lülian covered it up when they were doing her makeup.
Bihe and Lülian followed Su Xuening's wishes and styled her hair into a simple and neat bun, just a single strand, like a ponytail, clean and tidy enough.
Su Xuening had just finished washing up and was struggling with what neat and tidy clothes to wear when Ye Yun brought her some clothes: "These were made in advance by the embroidery workshop at the prince's request."
Su Xuening glanced at the clothes Ye Yun had brought and saw that it was a bright red riding outfit, which immediately moved her.
He was very thoughtful. They had only decided to participate in the hunting competition a couple of days ago, and he had even arranged riding clothes for her, in her favorite color.
Su Xuening changed into the riding outfit and also changed her veil to fiery red.
Xuanyuan Zhan was already waiting in the courtyard. Hearing the door open behind him, he subconsciously turned around and saw Su Xuening dressed in a fiery red riding outfit, with her hair in a high ponytail and wearing a fiery red veil as she stepped out into the light. The golden sunlight shone on her, as if she were gilded with a layer of gold, making her look as beautiful as a goddess who had just descended from the clouds!
