Inside the palace.
Xuanyuan Peng was both angry and helpless as he listened to Zong Jiu's report on the outcome of the fight between Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Yu.
He knew they were going to fight; it wasn't the first or second time, and he was used to it.
However, the second brother didn't participate in the battle this time. The second brother is much more scheming than the eldest brother!
But the third son's family does have some brains.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Peng felt more and more that he had not made a mistake in bestowing these two marriages.
This third one is a bit stubborn; he just can't give up. It's really a headache!
However, thinking back to his own past, Xuanyuan Peng could understand.
Back then, I wasn't even more stubborn than him.
Thinking of the crazy things he had done to win back Ya'er, Xuan Yuanpeng became worried again.
He was genuinely afraid that his sons would fight each other in the future; if any of them were hurt, it would be like tearing flesh from his own body!
Xuanyuan Peng pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Seeing Xuan Yuanpeng's appearance, Zong Jiu thought he was worried about Xuan Yuanyu and the others' injuries, so he quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the imperial physician just reported that the Third Prince and the Third Prince's wife are both fine and have been saved. It's just that the Third Prince suffered some internal injuries."
Xuanyuan Peng snorted angrily, "He deserved to suffer internal injuries. He should be taught a lesson, otherwise who knows what kind of joke he'll make in the future!"
Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Yu had been fighting for quite some time, and he knew that Xuanyuan Zhan usually wouldn't kill Xuanyuan Yu. This time, Xuanyuan Yu's internal injuries must have angered Xuanyuan Zhan, which is why Xuanyuan Zhan resorted to such force.
It's good to teach Xuanyuan Yu a lesson, so he won't be so clueless all day long, thinking about women instead of doing anything important!
As Xuanyuan Peng spoke, he looked at Zong Jiu and said, "Prepare some tonics for me and send them to the Third Prince's Consort."
"Yes." Zong Jiu didn't dare to delay and immediately went to prepare.
The Holy King's Palace.
When Su Xuening came out of Yalan Garden, she saw Xuan Yuanzhan outside, as if he was waiting for her.
"Your Highness," Su Xuening walked over and curtsied to Xuan Yuanzhan, "Would Your Highness like to go in and see your mother?"
Xuan Yuanzhan raised an eyebrow slightly: "There are some things you've already told her." He decided not to go in and join the fun.
He has never liked to talk about things that happened in the palace since he was a child. He is not like Xuan Yuan Yu who likes to complain everywhere. He prefers to solve problems on his own.
And he and Bai Fuya...
Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at Su Xuening and thought that it was a good idea to marry her as his wife. He could leave the communication with Bai Fuya to her, which would save him from having to stare at Bai Fuya anymore. It just so happened that Bai Fuya liked her very much.
"Let's go back."
Xuanyuan Zhan walked beside Su Xuening and returned to Linshui Pavilion with her.
Back in the main house, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and said somewhat shyly, "Your Highness, I would like to take a bath and change my clothes."
Xuanyuan Zhan understood perfectly and tactfully replied, "I still have some official business to attend to in my study."
After saying that, Xuan Yuanzhan turned and left without waiting for Su Xuening to speak.
Su Xuening looked at his slightly flustered back and couldn't help but smile.
He really knows his stuff!
Is this person simply smart, or does he understand women's hearts, or... he just understands her?
In the main house, Su Xuening was enjoying a comfortable hot bath.
In the study, Xuan Yuanzhan was hatching another scheme.
She's taking a bath right now, and given the temperature of the hot water, if she really were that woman from the Cold Pool, her wrists would definitely be covered in red flower patterns. After all, her wrists also had those patterns when she bathed before.
So now he might as well sneak up onto the roof and take a look.
That was his main house. He had climbed the roof countless times when he was a child, so he knew it very well. He could easily go and take a look there quietly.
Some beautiful images involuntarily flashed through my mind, and I even recalled that tender kiss from that night.
But after thinking for a while, Xuan Yuanzhan's nose suddenly tightened, and that familiar feeling came again.
Xuanyuan Zhan immediately covered his nose and hurriedly began to pull a handkerchief into his robes.
"Your Highness..." Ye Yun had just entered the room when he saw that Xuan Yuanzhan was bleeding from his nose. He was immediately frightened and quickly went over to cover Xuan Yuanzhan's nose with a handkerchief: "Your Highness, why is your nose bleeding? I'll go and call the imperial physician to take a look at you."
Xuanyuan Zhan was already embarrassed and ashamed, and when he heard Ye Yun was about to call the imperial physician, he immediately grabbed him: "Why call the imperial physician? I'm not sick!"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhan smacked himself on the head in frustration.
Damn it, what kind of wicked thoughts is he having!
How could he possibly peep at someone taking a bath? That's shameless!
Ye Yun stared blankly at Xuan Yuanzhan, whose expressions were constantly changing, feeling somewhat bewildered.
What happened to the prince?
They've already self-harmed, and they still say they're not sick?
"Your Highness..."
Ye Yun was about to speak again, but Xuan Yuanzhan glared at him: "If I say you're not sick, then you're not sick!"
Ye Yun pursed his lips and stammered, "What I was trying to say was, would Your Highness like to take a bath? The water in the small kitchen is ready."
Xuanyuan Zhan: "..."
Xuan Yuanzhan was a little embarrassed, and glared at Ye Yun again: "What do you think!"
What else could Ye Yun say? He didn't dare utter a word and went to prepare hot water.
While taking a shower, Xuan Yuanzhan rubbed the tooth mark on his shoulder and frowned.
Ye Yun saw through his thoughts and explained, "When we found this tooth mark, it was quite deep. We thought that Your Highness might be able to recognize the girl from the cold pool by this tooth mark in the future, so we didn't give Your Highness any medicine. However, now that the scar has formed, it may not be easy to treat."
Xuanyuan Zhan stared at the teeth marks, feeling somewhat irritated again.
Although he didn't really want to see that woman anymore, he had still hurt her in the end. Now that woman had transferred his love potion, he didn't know how much torment she would suffer.
I don't know what kind of woman she was that brought him together with this fate.
Xuan Yuanzhan thought of Su Xuening again.
Judging from all the signs, Su Xuening is now the most likely candidate to be the woman from the Cold Pool.
If it really is Su Xuening, then she should be able to recognize the teeth marks on his shoulder!
Why don't we use this tooth mark to test her?
But if it wasn't her, wouldn't he be exposed...?
However, it wasn't his own choice. At the time, he was under the influence of the Love Flower Gu and had no consciousness of his own. Moreover, he has no memory of it now, so she probably won't care.
What if she cares?
Xuanyuan Zhan scratched his hair in frustration.
This is so annoying. Why does something so troublesome have to happen?
The teeth marks are neither good to show nor bad to hide!
However, if he wanted to continue testing whether she was a woman of the Cold Pool, he would have to make her fall in love. That would happen naturally... and the teeth marks would be revealed sooner or later!
Why not give it a try? If it really is her, then we can solve the problem. If it's not her, then we can explain to her that he's been afflicted by the Love Flower Gu.
