Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Before going to the Marquis' Mansion, Ye Zhen met Rong Fei alone and handed him the deeds to two plots of land and three thousand taels of silver.

The land was fertile and the rent collected every year was considerable, and the silver notes were all the cash she could exchange for at the moment.

Ye Zhen had inquired about it. Jinzhou Chunyang Palace was built by Li Xuan three years ago. Although it was not named after him, it was indeed his. She asked Rong Fei to go to Jinzhou in person and donate the land and banknotes to the temple.

Li Xuan had helped her so much, so this little bit was not enough. In the future, wherever Li Xuan stayed, she would ask people to donate money there, as a token of appreciation.

Money is the most vulgar thing in the world, but thoughts and gratitude can only be expressed in vulgar ways.

Ye Zhen guessed that Li Xuan might not be happy, but that was the fact and she couldn't give him anything else.

Ye Zhen was confining herself to a prison of emotions and saying goodbye unilaterally in a visible way.

When they arrived at the Marquis's mansion, Sancho was just coming out. When he saw her, he smiled so much that his eyes curved, "The second young lady is here to see the imperial teacher!"

His voice was loud, which made Ye Zhen feel a little embarrassed. However, she couldn't say that she was here to give him a hand towel, so she just smiled politely and said, "I want to ask you something about Jing Lan."

Sancho came down the stairs with an expression that said, "I understand, I understand." "Unfortunately, the Imperial Master is in the Imperial Prison and may not be able to come back at this moment. Second Miss, come in and wait."

As soon as he came over, Ye Zhen's face changed.

Because Sang Qiao smelled of agarwood, which was the two boxes she had given to Li Xuan'an. Previously, at Prince Yu's manor, he and Princess Pingyang said that they didn't like agarwood, but that day they lit agarwood at Jinglan's residence, and he said it was good.

Ye Zhen was confused at first, but now she understood. He was probably being kind and didn't want to say he didn't like her in front of her.

Or maybe he is not really willing to let me know his preferences.

The fragrant agarwood and Sancho's sun-like smile became a kind of mockery. Ye Zhen felt sad and said politely, "I came at an inopportune time. It's inconvenient for me to go in and wait."

For no reason, she wanted to give him the towel personally today and didn't want to delay it any longer.

"I'll wait outside the prison."

Sancho's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't contain his excitement at all. He pinched his thigh hard, "Then the second master must be very happy."

He couldn't wait to lead the way for Ye Zhen, "Come on, let's go. I will go with the Second Miss."

Sancho was thinking, isn't such a critical moment a hundred times more interesting than a storybook? He must see what expression will appear on Li Xuan'an's face that never changes!

The old iron tree blooms? The banished immortal from the Ninth Heaven is tempted by the mortal world?

Just thinking about it made Sancho extremely excited.

When we arrived at the gate of the Pacification Office, the cold and chilly air immediately drove away the heat.

Ye Zhen originally planned to settle the matter when Li Xuan'an came out, but Sancho insisted on having someone pass the message on, and emphasized the words "Second Miss Ye" very much, as if she was some important person.

The Jinyiwei guarding the gate was cold and said, "This is a prison. No one is allowed to approach without the order of the governor or the imperial master."

As the words fell, the Embroidered Spring Sword was placed across Sancho's body, forcing him to move his foot down the steps.

Sancho smiled and said, "Brother, haven't you heard of Miss Ye Er's name? She has something important to discuss with the Imperial Master. Go in and tell her and see if the Imperial Master will see her or not."

The Jinyiwei had no expression on his face, "We only recognize Shou Yu."

Sancho was stunned, "You... a fool."

Ye Zhen said helplessly, "I'm not in a hurry anyway, so it's okay to wait here. Taoist Yu Chenzi, please go back first."

Sancho frowned, thinking that he was redundant.

Come to think of it, it made sense. Li Xuan must have felt so heartbroken seeing the pitiful girl waiting outside.

Tsk tsk, no wonder people say in private that Miss Ye Er would seduce the Imperial Master.

Sancho smiled meaningfully, "Okay, I'll go wait over there. I'm worried about leaving you and Liuxia here."

Ye Zhen didn't hesitate to bow to him and said, "Thank you."

Sancho went to the dim sum shop diagonally opposite and found a good position to wait and see Li Xuan's expression!

Ye Zhen asked the sedan bearers to rest in the shade, as it would not look good for them to stay there all the time. She held the box containing the hand towel and waited with Liuxia by the stone lion in front of the door.

When they came out, they didn't expect to have to wait so long. Liuxia didn't bring a parasol, and the sun was getting higher and higher. Soon the shade beside the stone lions was only enough to cover their feet.

Liuxia stood on tiptoe and used her small fan to shield Ye Zhen from the sun. "Second Miss, why don't we go back first and come back later when the Second Master returns to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Ye Zhen insisted on waiting.

Liuxia said again, "How about I wait for you and you go back to the sedan chair."

"I am fine."

Ye Zhen thought about the people who were waiting for Li Xuan'an to save their lives and who knew how long they would have to wait to see him. She felt she was lucky enough.

The Jinyiwei guarding the gate saw that she didn't leave. After all, he knew all the rumors about Miss Ye Er and the Imperial Master, so he sent someone in to inform her.

Not long after, the Jinyiwei who reported the matter came out sweating, and before speaking, he saluted Ye Zhen with his fists clasped, "Miss Ye Er, please follow me in."

Ye Zhen turned her head and saw the two guards who had stopped her earlier also bowed their heads respectfully. She felt indescribably awkward, "Thank you."

Sancho was chewing dried apricots on the other side. "Don't they never allow women into the Pacification Office? Ha, you just can't bear to let them wait outside."

"This is so heartless, and he doesn't care about me!"

The Zhenfu Division was full of Jinyiwei armed with swords. Beyond the front yard was the lobby, and one could see horrific torture instruments at a glance.

Going back along the path, the bamboo forest blocked the sun, and the heat disappeared, but it was not cool, but rather a chilly chill. At the end of the road, there was an iron gate that was taller than the courtyard wall, with the words "imperial prison" hanging above it, giving me a sense of the underworld.

Liuxia unconsciously grabbed Ye Zhen's sleeve.

Ye Zhen also felt that it was not appropriate for her to go in, and was about to explain to the Jinyiwei who were leading the way when the iron gate opened from the inside.

Li Xuan walked out from the darkness in snow-white clothes. The moment his white boots stepped on the stone slabs, it formed a sharp contrast with the smell of blood behind him, making him look like a god walking out of hell.

The coldness between Li Xuan'an's brows disappeared the moment he saw the light. He walked over quickly, but was afraid that the bloody smell on his body would scare her, so he stopped a few steps away.

Seeing tiny beads of sweat on her forehead and her goose-yellow collar stuck to the back of her neck, the warmth on his face froze.

"Someone, hold an umbrella for the second young lady. And clean up the pavilion on the west side."

His tone was blunt and cold, not at all like the usually amiable Taoist priest, but rather like a high-ranking state master who spoke intimidatingly. Even Ye Zhen was a little uncomfortable with this.

The Jinyiwei waiting beside him was startled and said, "Yes."

Several people looked at each other as they walked, muttering in their hearts, the Imperial Master had never been so angry even when interrogating a prisoner, so why was he so angry just because Miss Ye waited outside for a little longer?

Originally they didn't believe the rumors outside, but after seeing it today, they felt that those rumors were still conservative.

The Jinyiwei quickly cleaned up the pavilion, placed a small basin of ice there, quickly invited the Imperial Master and Miss Ye Er to come over, and also specially found two people to fan outside the pavilion.

Ye Zhen was flattered. Although she had just explained that she didn't have to wait long, Li Xuan obviously didn't believe it.

Seeing the beads of sweat disappear from her temples, he asked softly, "Is there something urgent?"

Ye Zhen pushed the box of sweat towels to him. After all, there were people standing outside, so she felt a little embarrassed. "It's all ready. Second Master, take a look."

Li Xuan opened the box, and his expression instantly became softer.

"Just for this, you waited so long in the sun?"
