Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

The overall situation in the court was initially settled, and the emperor's only regret was that Li Xun never entered the palace again.

He sent people to invite her every day, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes every day was, "Is Xun'er here?"

After asking so many questions, Eunuch Jiang felt sad.

The imperial physician did not dare to be negligent and waited outside to take the emperor's pulse every two hours. The important ministers of the cabinet had been sleepless for many days, eating and sleeping in the palace, and barely managed to stabilize the situation and share the emperor's worries.

The most important thing at the moment is to appoint a crown prince. Otherwise, they are afraid every day that the emperor will die as soon as he closes his eyes, causing chaos in the country and causing several old ministers to have their hair turn gray overnight.

As for Li Xun's life experience, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and most people know it.

Although the emperor had two sons, one was still young and the other had a broken leg. They went to their fiefdom two years ago. It was said that they were in poor health and could not travel around.

This, this...there is no other choice except the national master.

Regardless of whether the imperial teacher agrees or not, if the emperor really wants to pass the throne to him, the cabinet will have to rack their brains to come up with words to convince the people, otherwise it may accidentally become the imperial teacher usurping the throne.

You really have two big heads.

Xinning Garden.

Ye Zhen was feeding Li Xun candied fruit. The two of them were basking in the sun under the grape vines, talking and laughing. It was so sweet that no one wanted to serve them.

Yun Zhui and Liu Xia squatted outside the Crescent Moon Gate and drank a pot of tea. Yun Zhui went to the bathroom twice, but each time he was slow and didn't want to come back, so Liu Xia suspected that he had an unspeakable illness.

"All the things for the wedding are ready. When will the Second Master be ready?" It was the first time that Liuxia was so eagerly looking forward to her master's marriage.

Yun Zhui said, "If Second Master had practiced morning and evening lessons more often and calmed down, he might have recovered a long time ago."

Liuxia didn't like what she heard, "What do you mean? Are you blaming our master for serving us too much?"

Yun Zhui hated this girl for not being smart, but he couldn't say it directly, so he hesitated, "I'm not blaming Miss Ye, I'm blaming the Second Master for not being able to control himself, okay?"

Liuxia looked confused, unable to control herself?

He immediately pressed forward and asked, "What did Second Master do to my young lady?"

Yun Zhui's ears turned red, and he quickly pushed her away, turned his face away and took a few breaths, "How should I know? I wasn't serving in there."

"you···"

Liuxia was not giving up and wanted to ask more questions. Rong Fei came over and saw that the two were too close. He coughed lightly and said, "What's wrong with pulling and tugging?"

Liuxia was embarrassed, and her first reaction was not to explain, but to blush.

Rong Fei now knew what was going on, "Someone has come to the palace again."

"General Dong wants to see the young lady."

······

"What is he doing here? He's already busy enough with the affairs of the Northern Camp and the Imperial Guards!" Li Xun chewed candied fruit, his eyes and tone were sour.

Ye Zhen respected Dong Zhang very much, so she tidied herself up and went to the main hall to meet the guest.

When Li Xun saw that she had changed into a bright yellow embroidered dress, which made her look even fairer and more beautiful, and the sun-green jade headpiece that made her look dignified and generous without being ostentatious, he felt that the candied fruit in his mouth was not only sour, but also hard and he could not chew it.

Ye Zhen stayed up day and night to watch over him these past few days, and had no time to wash and dress properly. Although she looked good no matter what, but, but why did she dress up just to meet Dong Zhang?

Li Xun felt unhappy.

"Cough, cough, cough." He first covered his chest and coughed twice, spitting out the candied fruit in his mouth. Then, as if he didn't want to delay Ye Zhen from meeting the guests, he hurriedly covered his lips and coughed a few times in his throat, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

Ye Zhen was anxious and brought hot tea over, "Why are you coughing again out of nowhere?"

"I haven't coughed for two days. Did you choke just now?"

"Drink some hot tea to moisten your throat first."

Normally, Li Xun would have liked her to come over and take good care of him, letting her feed him tea while staring at him with a pair of loving eyes. But this time, he coughed uncomfortably, pushed the teacup away, and said incoherently, "No, nothing."

"Don't come over here. You'll get your skirt dirty and delay your meeting him."

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Li Xun's face did not look like he was suffering from illness, but rather he looked very sad and disappointed, as if he was swallowing blood and felt wronged. "Don't keep General Dong waiting for too long, go quickly."

After saying this, he turned his face away. His performance of the painful sacrifice was so fake yet it could not be ignored.

Ye Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't expose him in front of the servants. She just ordered, "Tell General Dong to wait for a moment. The Second Master is not feeling well now. I'll be there in a moment."

When Li Xun heard that she was going to go over later, he coughed even harder. This time, his trachea was really affected, and the veins on his neck were bulging.

Ye Zhen immediately patted his back to calm him down, and breathed hot air into his ear, "What kind of person am I? Don't you know? How can I not see someone when he comes to my house?"

"Besides, I haven't visited A-Yuan yet, and I also want to ask how A-Yuan is doing."

"What are you thinking about? You're so angry that you start coughing."

Her voice was soft, like water waves caressing his face. Every bit of resentment in her voice was wrapped up in anxiety, making it impossible for Li Xun to get angry.

He slowly calmed his breath, "I..."

Li Xun also felt that he was childish, but he was fed up with the half month without any news from Ye Zhen, and he didn't want to experience that feeling again.

After Ye Zhen exposed his thoughts, he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, "He likes you, you know it."

"You go to see him whenever you want, and you even changed into new clothes to talk to me in my yard... But I can't drive him out."

"I am not in good health. He is now a great general who is second only to the emperor and has a bright future."

Ye Zhen fed him a sip of water and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. Seeing that he was still talking, she leaned forward and touched Li Xun's lips lightly.

His chattering came to an abrupt halt, his aggrieved look instantly turned into surprise, and the moment Ye Zhen left, he pulled her into his arms again.

Look at the speed of his hands. How can he have the nerve to say that he is not feeling well?

Ye Zhen blinked and smiled, seducing him away. "I'll change your clothes, too. Let's go see General Dong together?"

Ye Zhen was just joking, but who would have thought that Li Xun actually agreed!

So, when Dong Zhang saw Ye Zhen supporting Li Xun over here, and Li Xun intentionally or unintentionally putting his arm around Ye Zhen's waist, and looking at him with a smile... was he complacent and cunning?

This···

This really surprised Dong Zhang, and he choked twice on the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Li Xun greeted him naturally, "General, please sit down. This place is very simple."

"I heard that the general wanted to see Ye Zhen for something. Although I am ill in bed, I thought that it would be rude not to see the general. So I came over to say hello to the general."

"Is it okay to disturb you and Ye Zhen from talking?" He spoke in a nice way, but there was no embarrassment on his face. He even asked Ye Zhen to help him sit in the main seat, and then held Ye Zhen's hand tightly, forcing her to sit next to him.

Ye Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Dong Zhang just chuckled and shook his head.

No wonder I felt that he was very different from when I saw him when I returned to Beijing. In fact, he is no longer Li Xuan'an.

Dong Zhang carefully took out the magnolia hairpin. Li Xun's heart tightened. He was already sitting here, and Dong Zhang wanted to steal his people? !

This is ridiculous! He is just sick, not unable to lift the knife!

Seeing his cold eyes, Dong Zhang said, "Don't misunderstand, Imperial Master. It was A-Yuan who knew that you had set a wedding date, but the Dong family is still in mourning for the virtuous concubine. I'm sorry she couldn't come to congratulate you, so she asked me to send a gift to Miss Ye first."

This is clearly a lame excuse.

If a gift is to be sent, a maid from the palace should come in a grand ceremony. If it is in the name of the Dong family, an invitation should be delivered first.

All three knew it was an excuse.

Ye Zhen gently patted the back of Li Xun's hand to comfort him, then walked up to Dong Zhang, bowed, took the hairpin, and looked at it carefully, "Thank you, Yuan, I like it very much."

Dong Zhang's expression brightened, his Adam's apple moved, and he felt that there was no need to say the words he had prepared before.

Finally, he just said, "Congratulations."
