Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Fortunately, Li Xuan is a man and everything he does is to benefit the people, otherwise Dong Zhang would regard him as a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people.

After the carriage landed, the horse's hooves slowed down regularly and stopped in front of the gate of Ye's mansion.

Dong Zhang let out a sigh of relief and immediately jumped off the carriage.

Not long after, Ye Zhen also came out of the car.

Unlike him, she looked normal, her eyes and eyebrows were like flowers that had just been watered by rain, even more eye-catching than before.

But Dong Zhang was still worried, "Are you okay?"

Ye Zhen dodged his outstretched hand almost unnoticeably and bowed, "I'm fine. I'm really terrified to have you, General, send me off."

Dong Zhang glanced at the fallen car curtain and vaguely saw Li Xuan'an's slightly wrinkled gown, and felt that something was wrong.

He wanted to say something to Ye Zhen, but when he saw Li Xuan lifted the curtain, his handsome figure was reflected in Dong Zhang's eyes. "We've sent the people away, and explained to Miss Dong, why aren't you leaving, General?"

After he said this, Dong Zhang also felt that he had no reason to stay.

I originally wanted to give the hairpin to Ye Zhen, but now... forget it, today is not the right time.

Dong Zhang was not very happy in his heart, but he looked calm, "Miss Ye Er, please have a good rest. I will leave first."

Ye Zhen saluted, "Farewell, General."

Dong Zhang turned around and took only two steps before looking back at Li Xuan, "But the Imperial Master's horse is tired? Do you want me to escort the Imperial Master back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Li Xuan'an paused with a smile in his eyes, looked at Ye Zhen unwillingly, and angrily lowered the curtain, "General, you worry too much."

"But the general has no horse, so I will give him a ride."

Dong Zhang thought it would be a waste not to take the ride, so he naturally got on the carriage and entered the compartment!

Ye Zhen had a bad feeling that a storm was about to come, and she had never in her two lifetimes run back home so quickly.

Seeing her like this, Rong Fei immediately perked up, "Is there an assassin?"

Ye Zhen waved her hands, "More terrifying than an assassin."

Ye Zhen returned to her room to wash up, but she had no appetite. Liuxia was observant and noticed that the corners of her lips were a little swollen. She thought it was due to the hot weather, so she asked someone to cook some Tremella and lotus seed porridge for her and asked her if she wanted to apply some ointment.

Ye Zhen couldn't help but recall the feeling of being kissed by Li Xuan. She felt sweet and nervous at the same time. She couldn't help but worry about what was going on with them.

Thinking about Meng Qianru's words again, he was worried that he would affect Li Xuan'an's practice of Taoism.

Is it going to be like this forever?

Unable to think of a solution, Ye Zhen simply asked Liuxia to find a piece of sky-blue brocade from the storehouse to make clothes.

"The young master has enough clothes, what else does the second young lady want to make?" Liuxia knew she wanted to make men's clothes just by looking at her moving the scissors twice.

Ye Zhen did not hide it, "I'm making autumn clothes for the Second Master."

In the carriage, Li Xuan kissed the back of her hand and asked for a set of clothes, saying that the pattern had to be better than the one on Dong Zhang's purse.

When Liuxia heard that she was going to make clothes for Li Xuan, she immediately became interested and brought over all the patterned silk threads that Ye Zhen had prepared earlier.

"Second Master has a good figure and a gentle temperament, so it's perfect for him to have auspicious patterns embroidered on him."

Gentle temperament?

Ye Zhen has learned his lesson.

The whole afternoon passed quickly and it was dark in the blink of an eye.

Ye Zhen asked Liuxia and Yulu to go downstairs and rest first, and she went to sleep after finishing the pattern on the cuffs.

As the candle flame flickered, a straight black shadow immediately appeared in front of the window. Ye Zhen was startled and immediately retreated to the bedside with a silver needle between her fingertips.

The man outside said, "Miss Ye Er, don't panic. I am General Zhenbei's guard, Zhu Ci."

"General, it is inconvenient for me to sneak into your house, so I sent my subordinates to ask the second lady if there is any weakness in the hands of the state teacher?"

Ye Zhen didn't dare to believe it at first. The man pushed the window open to a gap as wide as a hand and handed in a pair of green plum gold earrings. They were Dong Yuan's!

Ye Zhen thought again that there were Jinyiwei guarding the mansion in secret, so if it wasn't Dong Zhang's men, how could they have gotten in?

"Why do you ask that, General?"

Ye Zhen took back the silver needle and wanted to take a few steps towards the window, but she was afraid that Li Xuan would be unhappy if he knew about it.

The other party lowered his voice, "The general said, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can speak directly, and the Dong family will definitely protect the young lady."

Ye Zhen was touched, but she felt a little amused and helpless when she thought that these words would be told to Li Xuan by the Royal Guards.

"Ye Zhen is grateful for the protection of the general. The national teacher treated me very well and saved me from danger many times. After I broke off the engagement with the Marquis's Mansion, he praised me in front of and behind others so that I would not be looked down upon."

"I am grateful to the Imperial Master, so how can I say I am being coerced?"

Although Ye Zhen wanted to tell the Imperial Guards what she was saying, every word she said was what she really thought, so she was confident and powerful.

The man outside the window froze for a moment. "I understand..."

County Palace.

When the eunuch chief eunuch Jiang learned that Meng Qianru was fine, he stood up and said goodbye to Li Xuan, "His Majesty was very worried when he learned that the princess had fainted, so he ordered me to ask the imperial master to take the trouble."

Li Xuan'an was calm and said, "Please tell His Majesty that the princess is in good health and is fine."

Eunuch Jiang raised his triangular eyes and the four words "strong and healthy" are worth pondering.

After seeing off the people from the palace, Meng Qianru let out a weak cough from the inner room.

Through a screen, she could see Li Xuan sitting at the table drinking tea. The light made his Hsinchu-like figure look very long, but Meng Qianru still couldn't reach him.

"Sorry to bother you, Master."

Li Xuan put down the teacup and said, "Isn't everything according to the princess' plan?"

If she hadn't bribed the people in the palace to inform the queen, how would the emperor know that she had fainted on the street? If the queen hadn't whispered in the emperor's ear, how would the emperor have asked him to make this trip?

The emperor naturally knew what Meng Qianru was thinking, but Li Xuan'an's attitude was very clear, so the emperor pretended to be confused.

Many people witnessed what happened in Fuchun Tower today. In order to appease the former Meng family army, the emperor had to let Li Xuan come to the Princess's Mansion.

Meng Qianru said in a trembling voice, "I don't understand what the Second Master is talking about."

Li Xuan snorted coldly, "You want me to call out all the people who have contacted the princess and the queen?"

Meng Qianru closed her eyes and said, "My friendship with Second Master has lasted for more than ten years, but now even Miss Ye's sleeves are not as good as mine."

Li Xuan was blunt, "If the princess hadn't used some trickery to break off the engagement, how could we have such a friendship?"

Meng Qianru tightly grasped the mattress, "When the Meng family went to war, their lives were uncertain. Second Master was the youngest son of Dingyuan Hou, and I, I don't want to delay you."

"Later, my father and brother died on the battlefield, and I was the only one left in the Meng family. I fought hard to return from the enemy... I didn't expect that the second master would become a Taoist."

She was full of regrets, and it was sad to hear.

"I don't want to ruin Second Master's roots. I just hope to be by your side for the rest of my life and do my part for the people of Great Zhou."

"Second Master, I don't want you to be implicated by her. I can't bear to see your hard-earned respect tarnished by her."

"She was engaged to your brother, and she had flirted with someone like Liu An. What more could a fool come to your door and call her his wife?" Meng Qianru bit her lip. "Why would such a dirty and immoral woman win your favor?"

Li Xu'an's eyes burned with fire when he heard this. He was silent for a while, "So this is why you are making things difficult for her?"

Meng Qianru was choked and couldn't answer.

"You have no right to touch her in my name."

These words stimulated Meng Qianru's heartstrings that were on the verge of collapse. The mattress wrinkled in her hands, "Are so many people in the Great Zhou not as good as her in the eyes of the Second Master?"

"She blocked your heart, I would rather be the evil person in your eyes."
