Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

The poison was extremely serious and no one dared to plead for the Cui family.

Ye Yunsheng usually had no chance to meet a nobleman like Li Xuan'an, whose words could make the final decision in the court. At most, he was invited to check on the women in the mansion. It was extremely difficult to get close to the person in power.

Ye Yunsheng did not dare to say that the Cui family was investigated for bringing poison into the capital, and only said that there was a problem with this batch of goods. "Master Imperial Master, since I remember the old friendship between me and the Marquis, please help the Ye family."

Seeing that he looked innocent and sad, Ye Zhen acted so shamelessly. She secretly waved at Li Xuan and mouthed "Don't bother him".

It was the first time that Li Xuan saw her acting like a child. He couldn't help but smile, "I have never been involved in government affairs, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

The more Ye Yunsheng begged for help but failed, the more flustered he became. Seeing Li Xuan looking at Ye Zhen, he suddenly had an idea, "I dare not plead for my wife, but the Ye family knows nothing."

"It's fine if you implicate me, but Ye Zhen and Jing Lan are innocent."

Before Li Xuan'an could say anything, Ye Zhen felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

Two days ago, Ye Yunsheng gritted his teeth and told himself to stay away from the National Master and not to have any improper thoughts, but now he is using himself to ask for favors from Li Xuan.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen someone who is shameless himself and drags his children along.

Ye Zhen walked over and poured tea for Li Xuan, saying unhappily, "We don't know what's going on yet. Maybe we made a mistake. Father, don't be too pessimistic."

Ye Yunsheng glared at her, and for Li Xuan's sake, he said in a gentle voice, "The shop and the people are under control, how could it be a mistake?"

"You are young and don't know the seriousness of the matter."

Ye Zhen replaced the empty teapot on the table with a fresh one. Considering that Li Xuan hadn't eaten anything and drinking too much tea would make his stomach uncomfortable, she said gently, "Let Liuxia heat up the date cake again. It's better for Second Master to fill his stomach before drinking tea."

Li Xuan had already picked up the teacup, but he slowly put it down after hearing what she said, "Okay."

Ye Zhen was relieved and turned to Ye Yunsheng, "Father, don't worry. After so long without any news, maybe it's not as serious as you think."

It is precisely because no information can be obtained that it shows the seriousness of the situation. Ye Yunsheng saw that Ye Zhen still had the mind to invite Li Xuan to eat date cake, and had no idea that the Ye family was in great trouble, and did not help him to ask the imperial master for help!

So he told the truth in a hurry, "How can it not be serious to bring poison into the capital privately?"

Ye Zhen pretended to be panicked and covered her lips, "Gu, Gu poison? Why is the Cui family still doing this business?"

Ye Yunsheng was also helpless, "How should I know! The Ye family will be badly harmed by them."

"This thing is a banned item. The Cui family should have hidden it. How did they find it? And what did they bring it to Beijing for?"

Ye Zhen seemed flustered, but in fact, she was trying to get Ye Yunsheng to talk in an orderly manner.

Li Xuan held his chin with one hand, squinted slightly under the light, and looked at her without blinking.

Ye Zhen had beautiful eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and her exquisite features were almost engraved into his mind, making him unable to look away.

She was calm and intelligent, and even the cunning Ye Yunsheng was easily tricked by her without realizing it.

She is so courageous.

But Li Xuan was very happy because the fact that she could do something under his nose showed that she trusted him.

Ye Yunsheng was impatient to answer, but after she asked this question, he suddenly discovered a clue. The business done by the Cui family in private was not clean. If it was clean, they would not make so much money.

This might not be the first time this has happened, but it happened this time! In the past, I could just give him some money and he would be fine, but this time he was caught red-handed. I'm afraid someone set him up.

So what is this person's purpose?

Could it be that other merchants took the opportunity to eliminate the Cui family's eligibility to run for the imperial merchant? But... the Cui family would not be stupid enough to let others discover something like poison.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunsheng felt even more wronged and aggrieved. "The Cui family must have offended someone and was set up. In this case, we are even more innocent."

Ye Zhen was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that he could still think of this at this time. Then she lightly poured cold water on Ye Yunsheng, "That's because the Cui family has facts first. If they are upright, they won't be afraid of their shadows."

Ye Yunsheng choked, and after a long while he gritted his teeth again, "If I knew who was behind this, I would..."

"What is necessary?"

Li Xuan raised his eyelids slightly, with a nonchalant and weary look, but he clearly felt an invisible pressure looming over him.

Ye Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, as if his soul was suddenly taken away by something, and the harsh words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back into his throat.

Ye Zhen was also frightened by Li Xuan's sudden coldness, just like the day he encountered the assassin and felt cold all over when he drew his sword.

Li Xuan saw that she was stunned for a moment before taking the date cake from Liuxia, so he took the opportunity to drink tea to calm down, but his eyes looking at Ye Yunsheng became more sharp.

"I discovered the poison from Master Ye's pulse. I guessed that there was something wrong with the medicine that Madam Ye gave Master Ye every year, so I asked the Royal Guards to keep an eye out for the Cui family's caravan."

The whole courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Ye Zhen looked at the people around her in amazement, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

He came here today to accept Jinglan into the Qing Sect and he had made all the preparations!

After all, Cui was her stepmother, and there were plenty of ways to stop them. Although she knew that Cui had asked the elders of the clan to spread the news in time to alienate them, it was actually difficult to really hurt Cui herself.

Before, Rong Fei was asked to find a way to find the prescription that Cui gave to Jing Lan, and then try to find clues from the medicine. Ye Zhen instinctively felt that she would be able to hold something against Cui, but with her ability, Rong Fei returned empty-handed for a while.

So a few days ago, when Cui used Jing Lan to force her to return to Li Chengge, she looked calm but was actually very helpless. She even thought about how she would live after marrying a fool.

And now, the Taoist priest named Li Xuan who was standing beside her solved all her problems with ease, leaving her with no worries.

Although she was calm and composed, her slightly trembling shoulders and her hands tightly twisting the handkerchief betrayed the trembling in her heart.

"National Master, you..." Ye Yunsheng's face turned pale, his brows tightened and then spread, and then tightened again, with many complex emotions flashing across his face, "Why, why?"

"Why do you want to harm the Ye family!"

Li Xuan's narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous aura, "Dean Ye, why don't you ask your wife why she wants to use these things to destroy your only son. And even if you give them to Master Ye, you don't need such a large amount."

"Master Ye, I saved your life for the sake of my father, mother, and Second Miss Ye."

The deep voice seemed to have some kind of magical power that could captivate people. Ye Yunsheng stared at the face in front of him, feeling weak and scared. Before he could recover from the shock of knowing that Li Xuan was the mastermind behind it, he was furious at the Cui family's audacity.

Ultimately, this matter is all the fault of the Cui family!

Ye Yunsheng was unable to argue with Li Xuan, so he gritted his teeth and turned around to find Cui to ask for clarification!

Ye Zhen stared at her father's disappearing back, and was slow to come back to her senses. She also didn't notice that Li Xuan was tilting his head as if admiring some treasure, with a gleam in his eyes, staring at her without blinking.

"Second Miss is distressed?"
