Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

The fragrant sandalwood scent had already swept through Ye Zhen's brain. Her slightly cold lips trembled violently but refused to loosen up at all.

There was no gap between Ye Zhen and Li Xuan'an, only the feeling of enlargement on their lips and the nervousness of being embraced by him.

"Why are you being horny in broad daylight? Isn't that disgusting?"

"If you offend our master, be careful or you will become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks! Damn, what kind of mandarin ducks are you? You are a pair of disgusting homosexuals! Get out of here now."

Because Ye Zhen was dressed as a male servant, he was obviously misunderstood.

The scolding did not bring fear to Ye Zhen, but made her face blush and her heart beat fast. Her ears turned red, making them look more realistic.

Li Xu'an covered their faces with his wide sleeves, dodged and bowed as he apologized, "Sir, calm down!"

He dragged Ye Zhen away in a panic from the other end. In the quiet alley, the only sounds were the high and low breathing of the two people.

His hands were also cold, his wrist bones were clearly visible, and the silver bracelets made a slight sound when they collided, which was also covered by the sound of their footsteps.

Ye Zhen didn't have time to think. She stared at the tall and broad figure in front of her, and watched the dark red hairband brush across her shoulders, just like the kiss before.

I felt like I was trapped in a furry blanket, and I couldn't describe the feeling.

He kissed himself.

Li Xuan really kissed her!

This fact struck Ye Zhen like a bolt of lightning. She didn't dare to recall, let alone analyze. She just followed him stupidly and didn't even notice that she had entered a house.

It was Yun Zhui's voice that brought her back to her senses. "Second Master, they didn't follow us. They were very cautious, and Shen Tongzhi was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he had to withdraw his men."

"The man finally disappeared near the Princess's porridge-giving site. There were too many people there, so the Royal Guards were not able to show up."

Li Xuan'an looked much better than the day he vomited blood and fainted, but his lips were pale and he coughed twice before speaking. Ye Zhen's heart tightened when she heard it and she clutched both sides of her skirt with both hands, feeling a little at a loss.

"Where is Zhiyan?" Li Xu comforted his chest and closed his eyes slightly.

Yun Zhui made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Liu An missed the target, so they killed him right away."

"This is so cautious and quick that it's comparable to the Imperial Guards."

Li Xuan waved his hand and asked Yun to chase after him.

Yun Zhui looked at Ye Zhen meaningfully, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Ye Zhen saw that the handkerchief in Li Xuan'an's hand was not made by himself, nor was it altered by Xiaoyi before, but a plain white handkerchief that could be found on the street.

It felt like there were bugs gnawing at the soft flesh of my heart, and waves of dense bitterness surged up one after another.

Before she opened her mouth, her mind was filled with the fact that he was shielding her from the pain.

Ye Zhen found herself at a loss as to what to do. Even her usual politeness and sobriety were difficult to maintain.

Li Xuan slowly drank a sip of tea and started coughing again, "Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Ye Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pat him on the back, but felt it was inappropriate, so she bit her lip and said, "Do you want to call Yun Zhui in?"

Li Xuan swallowed hard and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "I saved the Second Miss again. Why don't you want to stay with me?"

Ye Zhen frowned, "I didn't."

Li Xuan'an's breathing was a little heavy, and his voice was colder than before, but it was still gentle. "Forget it, the second young lady is very brave, and she didn't ask me to do anything."

"I am meddling in other people's business. Why don't you just stay in the mansion to recuperate? You have to go to the street to look for someone."

Ye Zhen frowned even more, "If it wasn't for the Second Master, I would have fallen into their hands, and the consequences would have been disastrous."

Li Xu'an looked better after hearing this. "You knew to let Rong Fei go into the wolf's den for you, but now you dare to go into the tiger's den yourself?"

"Zhiyan has been coming in and out these past few days. It's obvious that the person behind this is deliberately luring you in. How dare you follow her alone!"

Li Xuan started coughing again when he got angry, and his neck turned red.

His behavior was very similar to that day when he questioned her about drinking in the suburbs. Ye Zhen didn't care about anything else and immediately patted him on the back to calm him down. "It was my negligence, don't be angry, Second Master."

She didn't dare to imagine what she would feel like if Li Xuan vomited blood in front of her again.

Li Xuan froze for a moment, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, "The man in black outside the city that day was closely related to Prince Yu. Although he is not in the capital, the prince cannot completely cut off his minions in the short term."

"He believes that you and I..."

He almost let the cat out of the bag in his haste.

Ye Zhen's heart was beating like a drum. She looked at his face that suddenly turned away, and she didn't know where she got the courage from. "Why is Second Master so angry?"

Li Xuan'an slowly clenched the hand that covered his lips into a fist, his eyelashes trembled twice and he lowered his eyes.

Ye Zhen added, "I just fueled the flames of the incident between Li Chengge and Qin Yu. The evidence of Minister Fang's crime was apparently found by the Jinyiwei, so it would not have caused Prince Yu to attack me before leaving the capital."

"Besides, it's OK to kill a woman like me without anyone noticing. Why bother making a big noise outside the city?"

Ye Zhen stared at Li Xu'an's profile without blinking, "So, what did Prince Yu decide?"

If Li Xuan had not intervened in the assassination attempt at Prince Yu's manor, perhaps nothing would have developed to this point.

She used to think that Li Xuan was protecting her reputation and safety, but now she knows that Li Xuan has no such intention, so this reason doesn't make sense.

Li Xuan'an closed his eyes gently, his Adam's apple moved, and he said softly, "The Prince of Yu was defeated. The Crown Prince and various forces contributed, but the Emperor was serious. The Prince of Yu could not move anyone else for a while, and he was a man who would not suffer any loss, so he naturally picked the softest target to attack."

"My words that shook the country's foundation have completely made him lose hope. How could he not be angry?"

At this point, Li Xuan'an's voice was already very soft.

Ye Zhen's eyes were fixed on him. "Prince Yu is angry with Second Master, why does he want to kill me?"

She pursed her lips, and all the uneasiness and nervousness in her heart were reflected in her flickering eyes, which seemed to want to push a hole in Li Xuan'an's face.

She also wanted to ask, if you didn't have that intention, and if you didn't let me get close to you even when you were unconscious, why did you take the initiative to protect me from the pain? Why did you come to save me today?

How can I save her? It has to be a kiss?

Li Xuan'an's body tensed up unconsciously, and then slowly relaxed in silence, even his clenched fists relaxed.

He turned his head to look over, his eyes were clear and bright, and when he saw Ye Zhen's courageous gaze, he looked relaxed and cold, "There are many rumors outside, and Prince Yu believed them when he was at his wit's end."

"He thought that if he hurt you, he could do something to me."

He sneered, "It's just wishful thinking."

These four words don't seem to be referring to Prince Yu, but to Ye Zhen.

She felt dizzy for a moment, and she held on to the table to steady herself. She gritted her teeth and said, "Second Master is right."

"Are you feeling better?" She couldn't wait to change the subject, but unfortunately it did not ease her embarrassment.

"fine."

He always answers like this.

Ye Zhen never felt that two words could bring such a huge distance between them. She wanted to question the kiss a few times, but she knew that if she did, she would be the only one who would be embarrassed.

The long silence made Li Xuan feel uncomfortable. Seeing Ye Zhen's dazed look, he said softly, "If there is anything in the future, let someone notify me. Don't go into danger alone."

Ye Zhen moved her eyelids, "Second Master, are you worried that you will implicate me?"

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Ye Zhen felt a chill in her heart, and her smile became dull, "I always cause trouble for the Second Master."

Li Xu'an finally realized something was wrong, frowned, and subconsciously retorted, "How can this be called causing trouble?"

Ye Zhen bowed and said, "Since Liu An has been taken away by the Jinyiwei, Rong Fei and Liu Xia must have met him. In order to prevent them from getting anxious, I will take my leave first."

Without waiting for Li Xuan to try to persuade her to stay, she turned around cleanly and neatly, without showing any sign of reluctance.

Li Xuan stood up to chase her, but he felt a dull pain in his chest and sat down suddenly. He could only watch her leave.

How is this a problem?

He was afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest. He had clearly seen hope of being accepted, but suddenly Dong Zhang showed up... and asked him to nip all the new buds that had sprouted. How could it be so easy!

Besides, he would not give her to anyone else! He was only afraid of going against her wishes and making her sad.

Junior Master said that she also liked me, and that she had been with me all the way that day, but why didn’t she come to ask about her situation in the past two days?

What he waited for early in the morning was that his people bought the medicine on the prescription.

She really didn't want to trouble him at all.

Li Xuan’an’s teeth were almost broken, what else could he do? What else could he do!

The identity of a Taoist priest is an excellent shield, but also an insurmountable barrier. If he was just the second master of Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, would she like him?

*

When Ye Zhen left the garden, she found that there were repairmen everywhere. However, she did not bother to ask any questions. She just wanted to leave quickly. However, she could not help stroking her lips, and her mind was full of his cold and moist lips.

The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I feel.

"Second Miss, please stay!"

Yun chased after her, and just one sentence caused ripples in Ye Zhen's heart again.
