Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan thought that with the self-control he had gained from years of practicing Taoism, he would be able to fall asleep later that night. The worst that could happen was that he would just recite a few spells silently.

Ye Zhen felt that she was going to have another sleepless night. She couldn't toss and turn, and had to pretend to be soundly asleep to avoid embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen fell asleep unknowingly and dreamed that in her previous life, she did not marry Li Chengge, but married Li Xuan instead, and was loved and cared for, and lived a peaceful and stable life.

Li Xuan couldn't sleep, but he had to endure her burrowing into his arms and even hugging him. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, he just kept laughing.

He observed several times and found that Ye Zhen was really asleep and still dreaming, which made him laugh and cry.

Does she trust herself so much? This would make him, the imperial teacher, lose face.

But...seeing that she sleeps well, I wonder if it's because she feels so at ease with me.

Well, Li Xuan finally found a good reason to comfort himself among so many "I can't do it" situations.

After daybreak, Liuxia prepared to get some water and go into the house to wake up Ye Zhen, but Yun Zhui suddenly grabbed her sleeve halfway and the water spilled out.

"What are you doing?" Liuxia had just woken up and was frightened, so she was naturally in a bad mood.

Yun Zhui saw the water had wet her skirt and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sister, please forgive me."

Liuxia put down the basin, pouted her lips and used a handkerchief to absorb the water on her skirt. The weather was warm, so it was no big deal. "Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? Didn't the Second Master ask you to do morning lessons?"

Yun Zhui frowned and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Keep your voice down, Second Master didn't come back to the room last night!"

Liuxia was sleepy and couldn't think of what happened last night. She said unhappily, "If you didn't reply, then you didn't reply. Why are you so excited?"

Yun Zhui was about to speak but stopped talking. There was clearly no one around, but he still looked around and said, "Hey, is the Second Master in your young lady's room?"

Before Liuxia could react, she started to defend her master, "What nonsense are you talking about! Second Miss, Second Miss..."

At this point, Liuxia's heart skipped a beat, remembering that the Second Master had knocked on Ye Zhen's door pitifully last night, saying that the fish tank was too small and the fish were making a fuss...

Liuxia's eyes remained motionless, and she slowly covered her lips with a look of "No way?" written on her face.

When Yun Zhui saw this, he felt that the heart that had been hanging in the balance for the whole morning was dead, and his face looked like “it’s all over”.

Half an hour later.

Liuxia changed a basin of warm water and knocked on the door. She knocked harder than usual, and the sound was louder than usual. It sounded like someone was pulling a rope tight and it was a little trembling. "Is the young lady awake?"

"Miss, the servant is coming in."

Not hearing any movement from inside, Liuxia's heart beat faster, and she knocked three times in succession, "Miss."

This time, Ye Zhen responded quickly, "I'm up."

Liuxia became even more nervous, "Then, then shall this servant come in?"

Ye Zhen yawned lazily, "Why are you talking so much nonsense today? Do you want me to open the door for you?"

Liuxia took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

There was no one on the couch! There was no quilt either!

Liuxia put the basin on the shelf, and as if she was afraid that the person would run away, she opened the gauze curtain with a whoosh, and was dumbfounded.

Ye Zhen was the only one on the bed, with her shirt neatly on and sleepy eyes. She was just putting on her shoes when she was startled by her, "What are you looking for?"

Liuxia looked at the tidy mattress and Ye Zhen, who also looked like she had had a good sleep. She subconsciously asked, "Where is the Second Master?"

Ye Zhen calmly brushed her long hair behind her back. She could still faintly smell the scent of sandalwood. She pointed to the half-open window next to her and said, "She jumped out of the window and left."

Liuxia: "Ah?"

"Oh."

"what!"

Liuxia hadn't seen Yunzhui for a day, and Rongfei said, "I don't know how that kid made the Second Master angry, so he was punished to help the nearby villagers catch insects in the fields."

Liuxia silently glanced at the sun that was like a flaming wheel above her head, her heart tightened, and she sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Second Miss is still the best."

Rong Fei heard her say this without any reason, and nodded stupidly, "Of course."

Perhaps Liuxia was nervous and didn't dare to look at Li Xuan all day.

Even when Ye Zhen was talking to Li Xuan, she was making tea outside, but she always felt that the Second Master's eyes were like a knife, and her hands were shaking, and she couldn't make the tea properly.

Ye Zhen came over after hearing the noise and saw that the back of Liuxia's hand was already burned red. "Quickly bring the burn ointment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought about how Liuxia had been alone in the house these days, so there was no maid to serve her now.

I'm afraid Liuxia must have been too tired these days, otherwise how could she have burned her hands while making tea?

"Wait for me, I'll go get it." Ye Zhen used a silk handkerchief to cushion Liuxia's hand, turned around and went out, not forgetting to say to Li Xuan, "Second Master, please take care of it for me."

Li Xuan'an said gently, "Okay."

Little did she know that Liuxia became even more nervous after Ye Zhen left.

Hearing Li Xuan's footsteps getting closer, she felt the temperature in the room drop. When the silver robe came into sight, Liuxia was like an arrow on a bow.

Li Xuan noticed that she was trembling, thinking that the burns hurt. Before he could raise his hand, Liuxia fell to her knees, closed her eyes and said blankly, "Second Master, don't worry. I will never tell anyone that you jumped out of the window of Second Miss's room!"

Li Xuan'an's beautiful eyes narrowed, and the fingers that were about to make a gesture froze on the spot.

What was even more embarrassing was that Ye Zhen, who had found the burn ointment from the next room, and Rong Fei, who had rushed out after hearing Ye Zhen talking, were both in front of the door. Liuxia was so scared that she spoke very loudly, so it was impossible not to hear.

Rong Fei slowly looked towards Ye Zhen, his expression so complicated that he didn't know whether he should worry about Ye Zhen or be glad that the Second Master had jumped out of the window and ran away?

No wonder Yun Zhui was punished for no reason.

Ye Zhen smiled stiffly, "I left when it was almost dawn."

Rong Fei's expression became more complicated.

Is the Second Miss trying to prove something for the Imperial Master?

However, at this moment, Liuxia, who had been waiting for forgiveness for a long time, was in a mess. She opened her mouth and said, "The bed is very tidy, and the young lady slept well. I know that the second master did nothing."

Li Xuan's eyes twitched and his throat felt a little blocked.

At the same time, Ye Zhen saw on Rong Fei's face, "You didn't do anything and left at dawn?"

In fact, Rong Fei was still muttering in his heart, no wonder he jumped out of the window and ran away.

When Ye Zhen didn't know how to explain, Rong Fei said considerately, "Second Master is not in good health, we understand."

"No..." Ye Zhen wanted to explain.

"I'll go get the medicine for the Second Master." Rong Fei left without hesitation after saying this.

After that, the atmosphere in the room was not very good. Liuxia didn't dare to let Ye Zhen apply medicine to her, so she ran out of the room as if escaping.

Ye Zhen made tea for Li Xuan'an. Seeing that he looked unhappy and aggrieved, she said softly, "That girl is stupid. I'll scold her later. Don't take it to heart, Second Master."

Li Xuan said coldly, "Rong Fei has always been loyal to the Second Miss. Looking at his expression just now, he wished that I would drink two more doses of medicine to heal my body."

Ye Zhen was powerless to refute, and only said, "He, he just felt sorry for Liuxia's injured hand, he didn't mean any other thing."

It took a while before Li Xuanan spoke, "I should have done something to the Second Miss last night."

Ye Zhen was not polite at all, "It's too late to regret now."

Li Xuan choked and felt like stamping his feet and beating his chest.
