Xuanyuan Jing wasn't used to how polite Yu Yan was when she spoke to him just now. He waved his hand generously and said with a smile,""It's only right for me to come to Zhao Yang palace to visit you. Why are you so polite to this king? This is too polite.”
"Yes." Yu Yan only smiled at Xuanyuan Jingyan 'er before looking away.
Xuanyuan Jing sat in Clear Sun Palace for more than ten minutes. Because Yuyan wasn't very familiar with Xuanyuan Jing and didn't understand him, she didn't say much to him.
After a few minutes, Xuanyuan Jing took the initiative to ask Yu Yan questions. After answering, Yu Yan fell silent.
Xuanyuan Jing felt that something was wrong with Zi Xuan. The usually lively, cute, and eloquent Zi Xuan had become quiet in front of him today. She spoke carefully, as if she had something on her mind that she did not want him to know.
"Little Xuan, I still have some things to deal with in my residence. I'll go back first. When I'm free, I'll come to Zhao Yang palace to chat with you.”Xuanyuan Jing stood up, looked at Yu Yan, and said gently.
"En, Chun Junwang, take care." Yu Yan stood up and said politely to Xuanyuan Jing.
Yu Yan politely escorted Xuanyuan Jing to the entrance of the hall. She only returned to the hall and sat down after Xuanyuan Jing left the Zhaoyang Palace.
Xuanyuan Jing wasn't the only one who felt that Zi Xuan was a stranger. Even Bing 'er and Ding Xiang, who were waiting in the hall, felt that Zi Xuan was not like her usual self. She had become so quiet all of a sudden.
"Princess, why didn't you answer when Prince Chun asked you just now? What are you thinking?”Bing-Er asked carefully.
"Have you all forgotten that I have lost my memory now? I have completely forgotten everything that happened in the past. How could I remember the Prince of Chun, let alone answer his question? What if I say something wrong and make His Highness unhappy?”Yu Yan reminded her worriedly.
"No, how could Prince Chun be unhappy? He won't care about these things.”Bing-Er comforted her.
"There are some things that I can talk about after I get to know him better. It's not appropriate to say too much now.”Yu Yan reminded them.
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Jing left Zhaoyang Palace with a heart full of doubts. He didn't go to Funing Palace again to inquire about Zi Xuan's recent situation in the palace from the Empress Dowager. He was preparing to return to Prince Chun's residence.
Just as Xuanyuan Jing walked out of Bright Sun Palace, he happened to meet Situ Mo, who was walking toward him.
As the two approached, they stopped in their tracks. Xuanyuan Jing only called out politely,""Prince Yu."
"Xuanyuan Jing, why did you enter the palace today? Where did you just come from?”Situ Mo asked curiously.
"I entered the palace today especially to visit the empress dowager and also went to Zhao Yang palace to visit Xiao Xuan. I was just about to return to the wang fu but I didn't expect to meet prince Yu here.”Xuanyuan Jing asked.
"So you met Zi Xuan at Bright Sun Palace?”Hearing Xuanyuan Jing mention Yuyan, Situ Mo immediately perked up and asked.
"Of course, if I go to Clear Sun Palace, I will definitely be able to see Little Xuan. Why would Prince Yu ask this?”Xuanyuan Jing said with a smile.
"No, this king didn't mean that.”Prince Yu hurriedly said.
"Do you have something to say to me?”Xuanyuan Jing asked tentatively.
"Let's talk as we walk." Situ Mo said.
"Please."
"You should know that a few days ago, Imperial Brother betrothed Zi Xuan to Nangong Rui in the Imperial Court.”Situ Mo reminded him.
"Of course I know about this. I haven't been to Zhao Yang Palace to visit Xiao Xuan these past few days because of Nangong Rui's rejection of the marriage. I was afraid that Xiao Xuan would be in a bad mood, so I didn't disturb her anymore.”Xuanyuan Jing asked in confusion. What did Prince Yu want to say to him?
"Did you notice anything wrong with Zi Xuan when you were in Bright Sun Palace? For example, she obviously spoke less than before and became quieter. Did it make you feel that Zi Xuan was like a stranger in front of you and you couldn't get used to it?”Situ Mo reminded him.
Xuanyuan Jing immediately stopped in his tracks after hearing Situ Mo's question. He was worried about this matter and didn't know who to ask.
He didn't expect Situ Mo to take the initiative to mention this matter to him at this time.
Situ Mo must have known the reason for this. Otherwise, why would he bring this up today for no reason?
"When I was talking to Xiaoxuan in Zhaoyang Palace just now, I did sense that Xiaoxuan's behavior was different from before. She seemed to have changed into a different person. She was much quieter than before and was very polite when she talked to me. After a few days, I always felt that Xiaoxuan had become more distant in front of me. I was also very confused.”Xuanyuan Jing was confused and shook his head gently.
"You feel a little unfamiliar with the current Zi Xuan and feel that she's a completely different person compared to before. In fact, it's not just you, even this king, royal brother, and mother feel the same.”Situ Mo sighed.
"Why is this? Could it be that Xiao Xuan became like this because of Nangong Rui's rejection of the marriage a few days ago?”Xuanyuan Jing asked worriedly.
"There is one thing that this king has not told you. It seems that today, this matter can no longer be hidden.”Situ Mo said.
"Your Highness, please speak." Xuanyuan Jing said politely.
" It's about Little Xuan. You know that Nangong Rui publicly disobeyed the decree in front of all the ministers in the main hall a few days ago. He would rather marry the daughter of the General's Estate than become the Emperor's son-in-law of the Tianqi Kingdom. When this matter reached Zi Xuan's ears, she couldn't accept it for a moment and felt that she had lost all her face.”
"You know Zi Xuan's personality. How could she suffer such grievances? She couldn't think straight and was so stupid as to joke around with her life. She did not hesitate to slit her wrists and commit suicide in Bright Sun Palace. Fortunately, the servants of Bright Sun Palace discovered her in time and she lay in bed for four to five days. She was unconscious until two days ago when Zi Xuan woke up.”Situ Mo was still angry at Nangong Rui when he mentioned this matter. He felt that it was not worth it to replace Zi Xuan's leg.
"How could Xiao Xuan be so stupid and do such a stupid thing? Why didn't I hear the Empress Dowager and the emperor mention this? Why didn't they tell me all this time?”Xuanyuan Jing's heart sank when he heard Situ Mo's words. He was even more worried.
"Other than the servants of the Clear Sun Palace and the imperial physicians in the palace, no one else knows about this. Imperial Brother has decreed that this matter must not be spread out, so he has not told you about this.”Situ Mo reminded him.
