Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Baoyue Tower.

Sancho had already made up for several days of morning and evening classes, and his notebooks were filled up on both sides. He finally caught Li Xuan and brought him back home, and he climbed on his desk and refused to leave.

When Sancho heard that it was Ye Zhen's letter, the pain on his face disappeared instantly and he walked skillfully along the edge of the table.

The moment he caught a glimpse of the handwriting, Li Xuan shook the letter paper imperceptibly and changed the angle so that Sancho could not see it.

Well, I can’t see it anymore.

Sancho held his chin with one hand, "What are you planning to do? You have met with her in private, and you have also exchanged private messages with her. You have to pretend to be a hero who saves the beauty in front of others every now and then. If I were Miss Ye, I would have married you a long time ago."

Li Xuan read her letter and frowned slightly.

She asked to put pressure on Ye Yunsheng. The Cui family made such a big mistake, the Ye family could not get away with it.

Li Xuan wondered if she was worried that he would be criticized for protecting the Ye family, or if she just didn't want to accept his favor?

In fact, it was not difficult for him to erase all traces related to the Ye family, just to prevent her and Ye Jinglan from being implicated, and he kept silent and left himself a way out.

If the Ye family is convicted, she will become the daughter of a criminal, and it will take some effort to get her back in the future.

Ye Zhen was his favorite, and he was reluctant to reject her, but he hesitated this time. He also heard Sancho say that other women had already married him, but Ye Zhen didn't even have any plans for the future.

Li Xuan was not happy, and crumpled the letter into a ball and held it in his palm, "My junior master's pearls are round and smooth, I am not lucky enough to enjoy them."

Sancho curled his lips and said, "I have lost weight these days doing morning and evening lessons! How can I be round again?"

"You should lose weight, or you won't be able to wear the yellow robe."

Sancho had no way to refute it, so he took a breath and said resignedly, "You can't chase Miss Ye Er, so you can't always give me a cold shoulder, right?"

"I have been looking through the storybooks overnight to find a solution for you! I just don't have that kind of luck in this life, otherwise I would look for ten or eight people first, and they would have their experiences to pass on to you."

"Just tell me whether it was a good idea to ask Miss Ye Er to make a handkerchief for you last time or not?"

"She didn't refuse, which means she has you in her heart. Didn't she ask you to meet her privately last time? Well, then you can't blame me if you haven't made any progress."

Sancho asked Yun Zhui and guessed that the two parted on bad terms.

Li Xuan was already upset because of what happened last time, and couldn't bear to hear him nagging in front of him. His dark eyes fell on the textbook bit by bit. Sancho had a bad feeling and pressed the book tightly, "If copying the Tao Te Ching a thousand times can make you achieve your wish, I would be happy to copy it even if it means my hands are broken!"

"But it won't help if you punish me again."

This immediately blocked the words that Li Xuan was about to say.

Seeing that his anger had subsided a little, Sancho said again, "I have calculated your fortunes... Tsk tsk, it's a bit risky. Why don't I go back to the mountain and ask your master, maybe he has a secret book that can help you succeed."

Li Xuan'an snorted softly, with undisguised disdain, "The eight characters behind closed doors are called following the will of heaven. Now that I have entered the court, Taoism is the means to change the situation. What does the eight characters mean?"

These words were very arrogant and unruly, but they didn't seem out of place with his gentle and warm demeanor. It was just like the calm sea surface, and only those who had seen the dangers of the seabed knew how terrible it was.

Sancho swallowed, subconsciously feeling a little oppressed and fearful.

"Second Master, His Majesty asks you to come to the palace."

Yun Zhui was also shocked by Li Xuan's pressure when he came in, and his heart trembled, "Prince Yu and His Majesty had an argument in the Warm Heart Pavilion."

Li Xuan had expected this, and before leaving, he said to Sancho, "You can take your gourd back and wash it. Xiaoquan Village seized the people's land, and those who died innocently will soon be vindicated."

Sancho's expression tensed up, and he suddenly recalled several farms that were burned down by the fire that day. More than a dozen people, young and old, were reduced to ashes. The villagers hastily buried the bodies under the pretext that someone disturbed the earth and startled the God of Fortune.

Sancho tried his best to catch the so-called Little Tai Sui. Li Xuan learned at the first trial that it was because there was a hot spring in Xiaoquan Village, and the village guard wanted to please Prince Yu so he forcibly expropriated several farmlands. When he was threatened to go to the capital to file a complaint, he resorted to the trick of talking about gods and ghosts.

After alerting the Imperial Observatory, the village guard had no choice but to go to the Prince of Yu's palace. In order to cover up the crime, he killed the deputy envoy who went to investigate. Sancho disguised himself as a passerby and stayed in the village for more than ten days before he found some clues.

Sancho watched Li Xuan leave, then returned to his room and set up a spirit-sending formation. The talisman rose into thin air under the spell, and he swept his whisk back and forth. In the dark red halo, a dozen objects the size of glass beads could be seen floating in the air.

Sancho said word by word, "The Imperial Master has accepted your case and has finally detained Prince Yu after a long period of painstaking preparations. You can rest assured and enter the reincarnation."

The whisk swept again, and the beads hovered in the air for a long time, and finally disappeared bit by bit.

There was a heavy rain in the capital city at the end of April. Overnight, pear blossoms fell, apricot blossoms turned white, and peach blossoms popped up on the branches, occupying the spring scenery.

The willow branches were like a girl's slender waist, swaying in the wind in the morning light. All things watered by the rain were very satisfied, so much so that the next day's morning market opened half an hour later than usual.

As soon as the teahouse opened, overwhelming news came in.

The Cui family brought the poisonous Gu to Beijing because Prince Yu wanted to use it for the Northern Camp. It was said that with this thing, even if the body was pierced, it would not feel pain and could still fight hard to kill the enemy. If used on the battlefield, it could truly achieve a bloody battle with 10,000 elite soldiers against an enemy force several times its size.

Prince Yu’s original words in Nuanxin Pavilion were, since people were going to die, why couldn’t only those ten thousand die? Although it was a bit cruel, they also protected more brothers, so their deaths were worthwhile!

Some people think that what Prince Yu said makes sense, but others feel that instead of making progress in military strategy, using human flesh and blood as a shield damages the reputation of the Great Zhou as a country of etiquette.

The emperor was so angry that he even hit Prince Yu's forehead with an inkstone. Fortunately, the imperial teacher persuaded him not to continue.

During the morning court session, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau presented the file on the haunted incident in Xiaoquan Village in March. The village guard and the guard who were silenced were rescued and wrote a letter in blood to reveal everything about how Prince Yu instigated them to burn to death more than a dozen villagers and occupy people's fields to transform it into a hot spring villa.

Whether it was Feng Ting's assassination of the imperial teacher, the poison, or the seizure of people's land, each of these events alone might not have shaken Prince Yu's foundation, but as they continued one after another, involving soldiers and lives, the emperor, no matter how much he loved his son, now wished he could tear him apart.

The emperor conquered the country and maintained everything in the world with his painstaking efforts. Even his own son cannot destroy it!

Later, another Jingzhao Yin reported that the Flying Tiger General Li Chengge had a big fight with a scholar named Xue in Wusifang yesterday, and he also called on his personal guards who came from the North Camp to pin down the man and beat him, breaking one of his legs.

Li Xuan volunteered to atone for his brother's sins and took off his court robes in front of all the officials, feeling ashamed of the kindness shown to His Majesty.

The emperor couldn't bear to blame him and just called Li Chengge a bastard!

Li Xuan left the palace feeling relieved. He had pushed Prince Yu into the spotlight and was bound to be targeted by his cronies. It would be wise for him to take advantage of Li Chengge's mistake and withdraw in time.

"Second Master, are you going back home directly?"

Li Xuan took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the palace and said, "Take the small road to Ye Mansion."

He wanted to ask why Ye Zhen insisted on letting the Ye Mansion be buried with the Cui family. Of course, this was just an excuse. The point was that he wanted to see Ye Zhen.
