Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Not far away, two guards saw the Imperial Master polishing Ye Zhen's shoes and were so shocked that they could swallow their fists.

The next second, Li Xuan looked over, and seemed to be saying something to cheer Ye Zhen up, but his eyes were colder than the swords of the Imperial Guards. The two of them shuddered and wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

After the Yao family's ancestral tomb was chosen, Yao Zhaoan secretly invited a local Feng Shui master to verify it in the afternoon. The other party knew that it was chosen by the national master himself, so he dared not say it was not good and praised it highly.

Yao Zhaoan hosted another banquet in the evening. Li Xuan declined on the grounds of being tired, but Ye Zhen was invited by Mrs. Yao.

Because of the favor of gold yesterday, Ye Zhen really wanted to ask Mrs. Yao some questions, so she came over.

Mrs. Yao's room was filled with the scent of pears, which was sweet and not greasy, but Ye Zhen still covered her lips and nose with a handkerchief as soon as she entered the room. When Mrs. Yao saw this, she immediately asked someone to pinch the incense.

She first took out a few exquisite sachets for Ye Zhen to choose from. There are many mosquitoes in Hanzhou, and these sachets are local remedies and are said to be very effective.

Mrs. Yao introduced each one while taking a deep sniff. If she thought it was good, she strongly recommended that Ye Zhen accept it. With such enthusiasm, it was difficult for Ye Zhen to refuse, especially since the other party had already smelled it.

She picked out a purse that smelled of green grass and accepted it, and only then did Mrs. Yao feel relieved.

"Thanks to the young lady for speaking well of you in front of the Imperial Master, the Yao family is grateful."

"Madam, you don't have to thank me. The gold you gave me is too valuable." Ye Zhen didn't beat around the bush and said frankly that it was the gold that touched her. "The Imperial Master may look cold, but he is kind-hearted. Even if he is really angry, he will not do evil things that hurt other people's ancestors."

"Ma'am, you are really worrying too much."

Ye Zhen calmly mocked the narrow-mindedness of Yao Zhaoan and his wife. Mrs. Yao could hear it, but she looked indifferent.

She personally poured tea for Ye Zhen and took a sip herself. "No matter what, the Yao family will never forget your kindness. The Imperial Master refused to accept other things, so I prepared some bayberry juice. Please take it tomorrow. You can use it to quench your thirst on the way or give it to the servants. It will make me feel better."

Seeing that she looked sincere, Ye Zhen didn't seem to have any other thoughts. Could it be that she and Li Xuan'an were really overthinking it?

Since she couldn't get any information out of him, she didn't want to stay here for long. She symbolically took a sip of tea and said, "Madam's kindness, I will accept it on behalf of the Imperial Master. There's no need for bayberry juice. The Imperial Master has a chronic illness and can't drink cold things."

After she finished speaking, she withdrew her gift and left.

The nanny dared to speak only after seeing Ye Zhen leave the yard, "How dare a servant girl put on airs in front of you, what a piece of shit!"

The moment Ye Zhen received the gold, she fell from the altar. Others might not be able to get so much gold in several lifetimes, but she got it by just saying a few words, which naturally made her hateful.

"Yangmei juice is precious. Even a basket of bayberry juice may not be enough to squeeze out a cup of juice. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money. Why doesn't she want it?"

Madam Yao shook the tea in her cup, her smile spreading like ripples, "It's okay, after tonight, the Imperial Master will definitely take it in."

In fact, Ye Zhen noticed that the smell of the incense was not right when she returned to the house. She had been tricked once before and was already very careful.

She covered her lips and nose with a wet towel and opened the incense burner. Sure enough, it was not hers. She calmly took out the things and threw them into the basin, and drank two cups of tea in big gulps. Unfortunately, she only had a moment of clarity.

Why isn't the Second Master in the room?

Where was he going? Who was with him? Yun Zhui?

But servants were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.

Ye Zhen felt her head was heavy, her chest was stuffy, her breathing was heavy, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she couldn't even sit still and stumbled back to her room because she had a bad feeling and the burning sensation all over her body was all too familiar.

But she still had her rationality and knew that in this situation, Li Xuan'an's room was the safest place to stay.

So he walked to the bed with difficulty and smelled the sandalwood from Li Xuan'an's body on the quilt. He suddenly felt hot all over and hugged the quilt, taking in the scent he left behind.

After being in a daze for a while, the burning sensation suddenly subsided. Ye Zhen was stunned for a long time before she was sure that her breathing was normal, her vision was clear, and her mind was beginning to clear.

Are his clothes so effective? Or did Mrs. Yao buy fake medicine?

Obviously these two possibilities are more like dreams.

While hesitating, the door was pushed open unexpectedly, or to be more precise, it was knocked open.

When Li Xuan came back in the afternoon, he saw people waiting in front of the provincial government office, so he took this opportunity to go out and deal with them. This busy work lasted nearly an hour, and when it was about to be finished, the silver bracelet on his wrist suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then his body reacted.

It was as if something was causing his blood to boil, his cheeks turned red, his breathing became short, and he didn't have any time to react.

He used almost all his life's strength to restrain himself from making a fool of himself in public. He made the excuse of not feeling well and asked Yun Zhui and the two Taoist boys to stay there while he stumbled back to the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strange smell, and the impulse he had been suppressing all the way surged up again. He first saw the incense burner that had not been put away in time, then saw the incense in the basin that had already melted most of the way, and finally saw Ye Zhen curled up on the bed, sweating all over.

His expression suddenly became gloomy, his eyes were frighteningly cold, and he closed the door without saying a word.

Ye Zhen was extremely embarrassed, and her movements to get out of bed were somewhat weak, "Second Master."

A soft and hoarse voice came out from the throat. Ye Zhen herself could hear the emotion, let alone Li Xuan.

Seeing her rush out of the tent, Li Xuan took a half step back, subconsciously trying to stop her from getting closer, but saw that Ye Zhen's face was full of grievance. When she came closer, she saw that his expression was not right, and her eyes were full of worry.

When she opened her mouth, she didn't complain about being tricked, but asked him, "Second Master, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xuan, who was suffering from torture, smelled her sweet scent, and his chest rose and fell violently. He couldn't help but want to hug her, but reason allowed him to restrain himself, "Help, help me get the needle from the cabinet."

Ye Zhen didn't understand, but she sensed a wave of heat rolling over his body, and an answer was about to come out.

She followed Li Xuan'an's finger and found a pair of silver needles from the bedside cabinet, which were very similar to the thirty-six needles that Sancho had used on him that day.

It takes longer than ordinary acupuncture, which is probably unique to the Qing sect.

When she brought the things over, Li Xu'an used his phoenix eyes and breathed hot air, "Put it on the table, you, you go back."

His fingers were crackling and his hair was wet with sweat. Ye Zhen's heart felt like it had fallen off a cliff. No wonder she suddenly got better!

She knew that Li Xuan had protected her from the disease, but seeing it with her own eyes was another matter.

She knew better than anyone how hard it was to take love potions.

Ye Zhen didn't want to leave, but seeing that he was on guard against her, she had to retreat to the corner, "I won't go over there."

Li Xuan didn't have time to dwell on this. He picked up the silver needles and quickly inserted them into several acupuncture points on his body. Then he slowly fell to the ground leaning against the door. In the silent room, only his unbearable panting and his trembling Adam's apple remained.

This thing is not poisonous and it won’t dissipate in a short time.

Ye Zhen felt regretful and hateful when she saw him sitting on the ground in a mess, his fingers tightly grasping the floor. He was clearly trying stubbornly to resist the effects of the medicine, but his wet eyelashes trembled and his thin lips became redder and redder.

That indifference that seemed untouched by the world was now burning with fire. Not only did he feel uncomfortable, but Ye Zhen felt uncomfortable as well.

She soaked her handkerchief and approached him cautiously, wanting to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist. Her eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened slightly, as if she was slightly drunk.

His breath was wet and hot, and Ye Zhen's face immediately turned red, and she was in a dilemma.

Li Xuan looked at the face of the person he liked, and felt that the heat that had been slowly dissipating was ignited again. He didn't have time to think about anything else, he pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed her.

But Li Xuan has never been a gentleman in front of her.

Ye Zhen was startled and was about to stop him but then she held back.

He looked at her with red eyes, "Kiss me, okay?"

Although the drug this time was not as deadly as the Hehuan Powder she had taken in the attic that night, this time she could clearly see Li Xuan's eyes filled with desire for her.

At that moment, her brain was unable to function. Under his lustful and pleading gaze, she slowly leaned over and kissed his lips.

Li Xuan'an's body trembled, his long eyebrows slightly frowned, and he whimpered unbearably. His hands unconsciously wrapped around her waist, and he wanted to possess her mouth passionately but restrainedly.

Ye Zhen let him take what he wanted, and was willing to give him her life at this moment.

The fire was burning fiercely and was about to get even stronger when Li Xuan'an's body suddenly tensed up and he collapsed in an instant.

The silver needles worked, and the desire was stimulated in another way.

Li Xuan was defeated, his lips tightly pursed, hesitating to avoid looking at Ye Zhen's stunned expression, then he stood up awkwardly, hunched over to protect his stomach, ran to the bed, and covered his head with the quilt that Ye Zhen had held.

It’s so shameful. I can’t face anyone from now on!

Ye Zhen just watched him go through a series of actions and laughed out loud without hesitation.

When she smiled, Li Xuan became even more embarrassed, "Don't laugh."
