Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

"I can testify against the Queen, the Crown Prince, and Prince Yu."

"I can prove that you are the second master of the Marquis' Mansion. We have a childhood sweetheart relationship. Believe me, I can help you."

Meng Qianru saw that he was reluctant to speak, and his expression showed no joy or anger. She had already used up all her chips, and there was really nothing she could do.

She even grabbed Li Xun's sword with her bare hands, allowing her palms to be cut, and walked closer to him little by little.

Li Xun felt extremely uncomfortable inside, his mind had lost the ability to analyze and think due to extreme stimulation and fatigue. Even so, his face remained calm, as quiet as an abyss that made it impossible to see through, so people could not help but feel fear.

"Don't come any closer."

"Unless you want to die by my sword."

Those two cold words easily broke Meng Qianru's heart. She blinked in disbelief, "Second Master?"

It's like this, why can he still reject me!

"She doesn't want you, she doesn't want you anymore!"

Meng Qianru collapsed and screamed. This word really stimulated Li Xun. He moved his wrist and swung the sword horizontally.

A scrape on the palm of your hand and a cut are two different things.

Meng Qianru immediately let go, looking at the bloody palm, her face full of disbelief and disappointment.

Li Xun waved his sleeves, and she was pushed far away by an invisible force, but the silver bracelet in her hand was held safely by him.

"Just because he doesn't want me doesn't mean I can give up."

"Princess, I'm not your Li Xuan, and you're not that important to him. He would rather die for others than marry you."

"What he said most was that you looked different from other women because they chased after him but you ignored him."

"He was just a child at that time. He chased after you and kept saying that he wanted to marry you because he heard that a wife should not show displeasure to her husband."

"He hopes that one day he will have you chasing him, and then he will succeed."

Li Xun's words were even more hurtful. It took Meng Qianru a while to absorb all of these words into her head. The feeling of humiliation that suddenly arose was no different from everything she had experienced in the enemy camp that year.

So, Li Xun has always treated her as a joke?

"No! You are talking nonsense, nonsense..." Meng Qianru wanted to refute, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up. Her eyes were empty and her vision slowly blurred.

Li Xun clutched the silver bracelet tightly, turned around and walked out.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, looked at the few dim stars in the sky, and thought, Brother, I'm sorry. I tried my best to do everything you asked me to do, but I didn't do any of it well.

You asked me to serve the Marquis and mother for you, but my mother never accepted me. As for the Marquis... I guess he had known for a long time that I was not Li Xuan, so he returned to the Marquis' Mansion less and less often, and had fewer opportunities to see me. He also rarely asked people to bring me anything during the holidays.

You asked me to take good care of Meng Xiru, and I did my best. But you really have no vision, she is not worthy of your love. Today I cut off her thoughts, just because I don't want her to cling to you in the next life.

Brother, you deserve better. I hope you won't blame me.

Also, you told me not to seek revenge and to live a good life...

Forget it, you must be extremely disappointed in me.

Because I am also very disappointed. Apart from you, Ye Zhen, the only person who was good to me, is gone. I can't find her and I can't sense her.

I no longer even have the only luxury of living a good life.

Perhaps this is the retribution for breaking my promise to you.

But no, I have to find her. Even if she really doesn't want me, I have to hear her say this with my own ears. Then, then...

His hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking, even his breathing was shaking, and he didn't dare to think any further.

It was dark, and the person who said he would wait for him to come back for dinner was gone.

But he really tried very hard to go home early.

How, how could this happen.

*

For many days, the people were discussing how the Crown Prince and Prince Yu could suddenly join forces to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel, and the imperial edicts issued from the Nuanxin Pavilion every day were either to confiscate property or to behead.

It has been a long time since there was a major war, and the emperor, who was used to peace and tranquility, seemed to have returned to his youth. He drastically cut off all the branches of the crown prince and Prince Yu in the court. Even if there was no one to fill the vacancy for the time being, even if some people were forced to be loyal to the crown prince, they would now be treated as treason.

Several officials were executed at the Wumen Gate every day, and their families were either exiled or imprisoned. It was said that it was because the crown prince wanted to murder the imperial teacher that made His Majesty so angry. For a time, everyone in the imperial city was in danger, it was like purgatory.

All officers and soldiers in and outside the capital were under Dong Zhang's command. He was so busy that he had no time to rest even when the funeral of Concubine Xian was going on.

Li Chengge changed sides at the critical moment and left a way out for the Marquis's family. The Emperor did not touch him for the time being and asked him to reorganize the Northern Camp Army and then lead people to capture the Prince's followers personally.

Many of the officials were people who used to drink and chat with Li Chengge. Now, he was in a difficult situation.

Ye Xue's case was naturally delayed, not because of any intention to forgive her, but because of a lack of time.

Li Xun moved to the renovated house to recuperate. Yu Chenzi watched over him day and night and used all the good medicines, but he became thinner day by day. Whenever he had a little energy, he would chant hand seals and use his mind to sense Ye Zhen.

He would not stop until he vomited blood, which made Yu Chenzi very anxious.

"Hey, old man, take a rest. If you continue like this, you will see the King of Hell first."

"You are not afraid of death, but if you die, no one will look for her."

Sancho hit the sore spot for Li Xun, causing him to relax his pinched fingers after hesitating for a while.

"No news is good news. She is connected to your luck and virtue. Although I can't find out where she is, at least I know she is alive."

Sancho was a little angry and clenched his two fingers tightly, fearing that he would startle and make another seal.

Seeing Li Xun's dejected face, he couldn't bear it anymore, "The princess is in jail. No matter who she is looking for, there is no hope. Maybe she will send the person back to you in two days."

"Besides, if Shen Tongzhi and General Dong are looking for him in a big way, no matter how brave that person is, he won't dare to touch a hair on your heart."

"Take good care of yourself, old man, and wait for news."

Sancho convinced himself, and felt more and more that Li Xun was just worrying about nothing.

But there was no light in Li Xun's eyes. No one knew what Meng Qianru had said to him that day. He didn't believe it at first, but he kept waiting and waiting, until he was unsure himself.

Until now, what he feared most was that Ye Zhen herself really didn't want to come back.

Li Xun felt the intricate patterns on the silver bracelet. Perhaps because the disease could not be dissipated, he felt that there was no hope at all. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Little Master, fate cannot be changed, right?"

"When I became his disciple, the elder said that I was destined to be lonely and would die alone. But my master said that cultivation should start with cultivating one's own destiny. If you can obtain everything you want, you can become a little god in the world."

"I thought I had gotten it, but now..."

His eyes were filled with confusion and sorrow, which made Sancho feel uncomfortable. He said, "Uncle Master, did the master lie to me?"

Sancho saw that his eyes seemed to be covered with something, and there was no light in them, and he felt mixed emotions. In fact, he was very good at comforting people, and he knew what to say to make him happy...

Sancho rubbed his hair. "It doesn't matter if he's lying to you or not. With your ability, as long as you take good care of yourself, you will definitely find out if Miss Ye has any problems. Even if something happens... you will be the one to arrange the next life."

Li Xun lowered his eyes, "I want this life."

Sancho: Hey, you're arguing with me here.

Forget it, he is a patient, don’t worry about it.

"Okay, okay, then you should take care of yourself quickly. Only when you are well can you find someone."
