Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen held her breath and concentrated. If Sancho showed any sign of misbehavior at this moment, she would give him a needle.

In the past, when killing fish, just one shot would paralyze the fish.

Sancho also gasped. He felt something was wrong from the moment Li Xuan took the initiative to stuff medicine into Ye Zhen's mouth, and then there was suddenly a handkerchief embroidered with bamboo leaves on his body.

He was just testing the waters, but he didn't expect Ye Zhen to tell him everything. He then recalled the aura that lingered on Li Xuan'an that night.

Turns out they were in the attic... cough cough cough.

Although Li Xuan'an is not from the Quanzhen sect, as the second son of a marquisate, he will have to marry and have children sooner or later.

But he is now the Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor has given him power over everyone else, and he only listens to orders and not to announcements. Most likely, he also saw that he had no intention of marrying and having children, and would not form cliques in the future.

Another thing is that Li Xuan'an has a good spiritual energy. If he has a woman by his side, it will greatly affect his status in the Taoist world. Just like his mother, who was extremely talented, but could not reach a higher level because she got married and had children, she became a regrettable existence in the Taoist world.

Li Xuan must not follow in his mother's footsteps!

On second thought, Ye Zhen and Li Chengge were having a big fight, could it be that she wanted to curry favor with the Imperial Master?

Sancho used all his wisdom and energy in this life in this moment. He clenched the handkerchief, and his face was solemn when he turned around. His cold eyes were more like a shining stone washed by ice water, which made Ye Zhen feel cold in her heart.

"Second Miss, it is understandable that you were drugged, but you don't know that our spiritual roots are as important as a woman's chastity. Once something goes wrong, you will be unable to escape from reincarnation for generations to come."

Seeing him approaching, Ye Zhen subconsciously took two steps back.

What does he mean by that? Not asking for money or something?

"I didn't put a knife to your neck to force you. It's you who have an unstable mind and impure six senses." Ye Zhen was not polite. "I thought you were just being dishonest, but I didn't expect you to be a villain in Taoist robes, and you want to put the blame on a woman like me."

"You brought my little clothes with you and asked me to come here. Do I need to say who is more shameless?"

Ye Zhen was very satisfied with the affair, but she hated this person.

Seeing her aggressiveness, Sancho felt that he had misjudged her. He had never expected that the reputation of the second young lady of the Ye family for being gentle and respectful was all fake! Fortunately, it was him who came today. If it was Li Xuan, who would have been in trouble?

Sancho put his backhand on the whisk at his waist, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a murderous intent deeper than the night, "Second Miss, whether you resent or hate me, just count it under my name, Yu Chenzi."

"I will never let you ruin the reputation of the Taoist sect today."

As she finished her words, the whisk swept up the fallen flowers all over the ground. Ye Zhen felt a chill on her face. Her breathing quickened and she clenched the silver needle in her hand, waiting for the other party to get close so that she could hit him with one strike.

Before that, she couldn't show off her fancy moves, as it would be troublesome if the other party was on guard.

But Ye Zhen didn't know any real kung fu. Although Sancho didn't come close to her, the soft whisk was like a sword, pointing straight at her chest.

She was unable to resist the terrifying force, and it was as if her limbs were controlled by an invisible force, unable to dodge. All she had left was a face full of fear and a heart waiting to be pierced.

It was even more terrifying than being strangled to death by Li Chengge in the previous life.

Her heart stopped suddenly, and her clear pupils reflected Sancho's cold and grim face. She subconsciously closed her eyes the moment the whisk touched her clothes.

But the strong wind suddenly stopped, and the next second she was pulled into the arms of a pair of slightly cool arms, and the fragrant smell of sandalwood mixed with the scent of crabapple overwhelmed her.

Li Xuan'an's sleeves were wider than those of ordinary scholars. He protected her in his arms with one hand, and gently pressed his palm against her cheek. The emerald collar touched Ye Zhen's temple, and her blank thoughts suddenly returned.

Then she heard Li Xuan'an's heartbeat in his chest, beating very fast, but she felt that she was wrong and it must be because her heart was too nervous.

Li Xuan stood tall and graceful, with a white robe, like a god descending from heaven. The newly blossomed crabapples rustled like raindrops. He held Ye Zhen in one hand and used the other hand to concentrate his inner energy to control Sancho's whisk in his palm.

The strong wind blew up the strands of hair on his temples. Compared to Sancho's gritting his teeth, he looked relaxed, as if he was joking with others.

Sancho didn't have the energy to speak, but his strength showed his attitude.

Li Xuan frowned, shook his right arm, and the whisk fell from Sancho's hand, blowing away all the fallen flowers around it.

Sancho's back was covered in sweat, and he said anxiously, "You are still protecting her? You, you and her..."

Li Xuan said calmly, "If I really want to silence her, it's not her I want to kill, it's you."

Sancho was stunned for a moment, and didn't mind that he said he wanted to kill himself, but he did react.

Li Xuan looked at him, "Will you tell this to others?"

"Of course not! I won't let anyone know even if I die! There must be no mistakes in the reputation of the Taoist sect and His Majesty!"

Li Xu'an pursed his lips, "That's all."

"But, but she..."

Sancho was worried about Ye Zhen.

"She is a woman, and the world is much harsher on her than it is on you and me. If you hadn't provoked her with the handkerchief, this wouldn't have happened."

Sancho lowered his head. "I...she, you...never mind. Just keep my score."

Sancho turned around in annoyance, angry at himself for being reckless, but also felt that he couldn't bear to watch the two of them hugging each other.

Only after he left did Ye Zhen come to her senses.

Was the person that night Li Xuan? In his previous life, he didn't touch Ye Xue even after getting married, and let her live a life of widowhood until he stole her away. How could he do that again in the attic... It's terrible!

Ye Zhen's eyes were filled with shock, and she didn't even notice that her hair was messy.

Li Xuan let her curl up in his arms. He saw her thick eyelashes fluttering like a fan, which felt like something sweeping across his heart, soft and velvety.

There were a few crystal beads of sweat on the tip of her small nose, and her red lips were slightly open, revealing teeth as white as snow.

Li Xuan's Adam's apple moved and he raised his hand to help her tidy up her hair.

They had obviously done more intimate things before, so this was nothing. However, Ye Zhen pushed him away immediately and bit her lip, "Give me the thing."

She looked away, instinctively knowing that she couldn't look into his eyes like that, as it would cause trouble.

It’s not a good time to think too much about it now. Anyway, Xiaoyi must not be left in the hands of others.

She was like an angry little lion, with a furrowed brow and a stern tone.

Li Xuan'an's smile faded away like smoke, and he calmly put the handkerchief on his waist, "No."

"what do you want?"

The corners of his eyes curved slightly, "Leave it as a thought."

What is there to think about!

Ye Zhen couldn't help but blushing, but she couldn't force it. The guy looked so nonchalant. She thought to herself, "Then you better hide well, Second Master. If I find out that you have bad intentions or want to do something..."

She clenched her fists and threatened viciously, "Don't blame me for ruining your reputation."

His status and position are far more afraid of falling into the abyss than himself.

Ye Zhen was worried that he would kill her in anger, but Li Xuan was not angry at all. Instead, there was a smile in his eyes. "Even if I become disgraced one day, I will never let you get hurt."

His eyes were clear and deep, like a pool of water, making people want to get close to him, yet afraid that there was danger hidden deep inside.

Although there was no wind at the moment, Ye Zhen felt as if her breathing was held down by a gust of wind, and every word was magnified in her mind.

"You..." She choked, "No matter what your purpose is, I will not have any contact with the Second Master in the future. That night in the attic was an accident. You, you and I should forget it."

Li Xuan lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

"Second Master, please stay."

Ye Zhen took a few steps back and turned around without hesitation. After taking two steps, he said, "Don't go southeast. Find another way back."

Ye Zhen didn't know how she was controlled by him. She changed direction obediently, without looking back, and fled back to Ningguang Courtyard.

After about a cup of tea, Rong Fei returned the same way.

Since she was prepared to kill someone, she naturally had to arrange her own people to guard the place, so that it would be easier to deal with it afterwards. But when she came back, she forgot that Rong Fei was still waiting outside.

However, Rong Fei said with a stern face, "Fortunately, the Second Miss did not come back the same way. I was waiting outside and saw Hongluo, the maidservant beside the Third Miss."
