Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen and Li Xuan returned to Qingquan Town, and were relieved to see Ye Jinglan alive and well.

But Li Xuan developed a fever and was in a coma for a day and a night. Fortunately, Yun Zhui and Shen Du had been with him for a long time and were able to handle the situation calmly. Ye Zhen was also very careful and strictly followed the doctor's instructions to change the medicine every two hours. She stayed by his side without sleep and her eyes became red from staying up all the time.

"Second Miss, please go and take a rest. I am here to help you."

"The Second Master will probably wake up soon. Seeing you so tired, he will definitely be sad again."

Before this, Yun Zhui had somewhat believed that it was Ye Zhen who had seduced Li Xuan'an's soul, but given the circumstances that night, if Ye Zhen had not driven the carriage away Li Xuan'an in time, he might have really died at the hands of the Yao family.

That night he and the two Taoist boys held on, and when the Jinyiwei arrived, all three of them were injured. One of the Taoist boys had his arm broken to the bone. You can imagine how hard those people tried to kill him.

I get scared every time I think about it.

Ye Zhen didn't want to leave because she didn't see Li Xuan wake up in person, but she felt that Yun Zhui was right. She also didn't want Li Xuan to see her disheveled appearance when he woke up.

Back in the room, Liuxia helped her bathe and change clothes. Seeing a row of dark circles under her eyes, she said, "I have made some red dates and ginger soup. You should drink two more bowls to replenish your energy."

Ye Zhen was no longer sleepy at this moment, so she called Rong Fei and asked him to think of a way to get more information about Li Xuan'an's past from the Dong family, especially those related to the assassination.

For the first time in his life, Rong Fei was in trouble.

Seeing him like this, Ye Zhen said bluntly, "Just tell me if you have any difficulties. You are better than me at getting information."

Rong Fei mustered up his courage and said, "Then I will speak frankly."

"Liu Ting came to deliver the sachet earlier. He obviously knew what the general was thinking about you. He told me so much because he wanted to get close to me so that it would be easier for me to do things for the general in the future."

"And he deliberately mentioned the matter of the Second Master, the Princess, and the little maid that day, most likely to try to steal someone from their master."

Ye Zhen had a mouthful of tea stuck in her throat. "Go on."

"At that time, you and the Second Master..." Rong Fei's serious look made Ye Zhen a little embarrassed, "Now that you have chosen the Second Master and clearly rejected the General, it is not a problem for me to go to Liu Ting, but I don't know what name to use."

"What if Second Master finds out and he misunderstands you?"

Rong Fei thought it through quite thoroughly.

Seeing that he was so clear in his mind, Ye Zhen wanted to praise him but couldn't. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Take the bayberries from Hanzhou with you and tell them that I asked the general to bring them to the palace for Ah Yuan to taste."

Rong Fei had not been to Hanzhou, so naturally he had not thought of this reason. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and an expression on his face said, "The master is still so powerful."

Ye Zhen coughed lightly and pretended to drink tea to hide her embarrassment.

It was a long time after Rong Fei left that she recovered. She drank two bowls of red dates and ginger soup and felt warm all over. Then she heard Li Xuan had woken up and she ran over to see him without even having time to comb her hair.

Liuxia stopped her and said, "Someone has come from the palace. Shen Tongzhi has asked the Jinyiwei to guard outside the door. You won't be able to see the Second Master if you go over now. Why don't you take a nap first? I will wake you up when the Second Master's affairs are dealt with."

Ye Zhen couldn't sleep at all. "I'll wait outside."

"Second miss!"

Liuxia couldn't stop him, so she quickly grabbed a cloak and chased after him.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were guarding the escalator to the second floor, and there were soldiers in armor on duty every five steps. It was extremely difficult to go up the stairs, let alone wait there.

It would be a lie for Ye Zhen to say that she was not panicking.

Yao Zhaoan schemed with the Imperial Master to choose a burial site for them, and Madam Yao gave her a love drug. After the incident, Yao Zhaoan asked the Imperial Master to lead troops to rob and kill them. Everything was Yao Zhaoan's fault!

The Imperial Master should be fine.

But the Taoist priest who appeared that night, and the queen and prince mentioned by Li Xuan...if these people were involved, Ye Zhen would not be able to predict how things would develop.

The longer he waited, the more anxious he became. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. At the same time, he could hear the frequent knocking of bricks from behind, which made Ye Zhen even more unhappy.

"What's the noise?"

Liuxia said, "It rained the day before yesterday, and the shopkeeper said that the stove had water in it, so he arranged for a craftsman to rebuild it in the past two days."

Building a stove?

Ye Zhen suddenly thought of something, glanced at Li Xuan'an's room which was silent, and turned to the back.

Li Xuan'an's room.

The person who came was Censor Cen, carrying the emperor's handwritten edict and the memorial that Yao Zhaoan had sent to the capital.

Yun Zhui and Shen Du were both kneeling in front of the door. Li Xuan had his hair loose, and his blue-gray shirt went well with his slightly pale face.

Censor Cen knew that he was injured, but thought that he was injured by the Hanzhou soldiers, so he spoke in a low voice, "Lord Yao said that you used Taoism to harm his wife without authorization, and you were a private revenge. He sent people to chase you to ask for mercy, but you killed people in large numbers, so they had to take action."

Censor Cen was also covered in cold sweat. This Yao Zhaoan was the first one who dared to report to the Imperial Master.

His Majesty didn't seem to react and asked him to come over for questioning as usual, so he was not sure how to deal with it if the matter was true?

After all, he had made a secret visit before coming here, and many people in Hanzhou could prove that the national teacher had an ambiguous attitude towards Miss Ye. Yao Zhaoan's reason was that the dancer in the mansion accidentally offended Miss Ye, which angered the national teacher.

After Li Xuan finished taking the medicine, his mouth was full of bitterness. He frowned and said, "Didn't Yao Zhaoan tell me why I had to leave Hanzhou overnight?"

Censor Cen lowered his head and said, "He said that the dancers in his house offended you."

"Madam Yao put love potion in my room. You can ask the servants of the Yao family. There is still dissolved potion in the basin in the room where I stayed."

Upon hearing this, Censor Cen immediately gained confidence, "How dare this bastard plot against the Imperial Master! He is so bold!"

"There's more to it than that. Lord Cen might as well go to Madam Yao's room and search it yourself. Maybe there will be other discoveries."

Li Xuan'an had said this, and Censor Cen immediately sent someone to the Yao residence, where they unexpectedly found a little man with seven needles stuck in his body under Madam Yao's bed!

When the guard saw the birth date and horoscope on it, it turned out to be the current crown prince. Censor Cen's legs went weak, "This, this..."

Li Xuan closed his eyes and said word by word, "Mrs. Yao went crazy because she learned all sorts of nonsense from somewhere, and it backfired in the end."

"I gave her a peace charm when I left. I guess she didn't use it, otherwise she wouldn't have gone crazy."

This statement completely discredited himself, and Censor Cen later confirmed this detail from his subordinates. Li Xuan also mentioned that Yao Zhaoan and the abbot of Baiyun Temple had joined forces to plot against him, which led to the closure of Baiyun Temple by government soldiers.

When Yao Zhaoan heard all this in prison, especially the witchcraft doll found under his wife's bed, he immediately grabbed his hair and cried, "Li Xuan'an, are you really going to leave no chance for my Yao family!"

Yao Zhaoan was the prince's man, and he had hoped that the prince would rescue him, but this would only make him die faster! But Madam Yao really hated the prince, because her daughter, whom she had raised with great difficulty, was kicked in the heart by a guard because she startled the prince's carriage, and died that night.

After the prince learned about it, in order to suppress the Yao family, he secretly gave Yao Zhaoan a lot of benefits, allowing him to secure his position as the provincial governor!

Li Xuan sent Censor Cen away and instructed Shen Du, "Tell Yao Lingchuan that if he reveals who contacted Madam Yao, I can find a way to save her life."

"Yes."

It was already afternoon when they finished dealing with these things. Li Xuan waited and waited, but when Ye Zhen didn't come, he asked Yun Zhui to go and invite her, only to find out that Ye Zhen had gone out.

He was anxious, "How can she go out alone at this critical moment?"
