Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

As a state master, he had the Embroidered Uniform Guards leading the way and carrying his sedan chair, and he had to get off the sedan chair to enter the market. However, Li Chengge was only a fourth-rank general, but he drove a car in the market and startled people.

Moreover, why did he always appear whenever he made things difficult for Ye Zhen!

It has rained a lot in the south these past two days, and Li Xuan didn't even have time to return to the Marquis' Mansion, but he was able to pass by the market on time?

The only sound that could be heard along the entire street was Li Xuan's footsteps, which hit Ye Zhen's chest again and again, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

When he came closer, finally even the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye became clear. Unlike in her dream, he looked much better, his eyes were dark and bright, his lips were rosy, and he had a slight smile on his face, which was noble and gentle.

Li Xuan'an ignored everyone else and walked straight to Ye Zhen, taking a closer look at her. Ye Zhen came back to her senses when she saw her own astonishment in his eyes, "Second..."

Just as she opened her mouth, Ye Jinglan limped in front of her and stared at Li Xuan with caution.

Li Xuan looked at him gently, and just the normal friendly smile in his eyes made Ye Jinglan inexplicably relax his guard.

"Are you... Mr. Ye? My name is Li Xuan, and I am your sister..." He deliberately dragged out his tone, and his eyes passed over Ye Jinglan and fell on Ye Zhen's face, as if asking her questions.

Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat, "Second Master has saved me many times, he is my benefactor."

She didn't know why she was so anxious to interrupt, which made her look guilty.

Li Xuan'an's expression seemed to darken a little, and he smacked his lips and repeated, "Oh, benefactor."

Sounds reluctant.

Fortunately, Ye Jinglan's attention was no longer here. When he heard the name Li Xuan'an, his eyes were full of disbelief. Then he took a deep breath, hurriedly tidied his clothes, and respectfully bowed as if he was paying homage to a teacher. "Ye Jinglan pays homage to the Grand Master. I have heard for a long time that the Grand Master is proficient in Taoism and benefits the country and the people. Jinglan has seen this in his lifetime, and he will die with no regrets."

He staggered and was about to kneel, but Li Xuan supported him with one hand, feeling flattered.

Ye Jinglan blinked and stared at the place where Li Xuan had touched, with a look on his face that said: The Imperial Master helped me?

The Imperial Master actually helped me up with his own hands!

Don't wash this dress, no, not even the arms!

Am I dreaming? I actually met Li Xuan, the youngest and most powerful imperial teacher in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Li Xuan only touched his wrist once and felt something was wrong. He took out a brown pill from his pocket and handed it to him, "This medicine can promote blood circulation and relieve blood stasis. It can temporarily relieve Mr. Ye's pain."

Ye Jinglan felt the blood rushing up all over his body. There had never been another moment when he felt as clearly as he did now how good it was to be alive.

The Imperial Master knew I was in severe pain without even checking my pulse? He even gave me medicine!

I heard that the current queen wanted to ask him for a pill but came back empty-handed. How could I be so worthy...

As if he was afraid that Li Xuan'an would regret it, Ye Jinglan took the pill with both hands and swallowed it directly without even using water. You know, taking medicine used to be Yuanbao's biggest headache. It was okay with candied fruit, but if the candied fruit was not sweet enough, it would be very difficult to take the medicine.

Seeing that her brother seemed like a different person, Ye Zhen couldn't help but think of a word called... possession of another's body?

Li Xuan seemed to have heard her thoughts. He looked over and said helplessly, "Your brother is really enthusiastic. I am also surprised."

Ye Zhen's face turned red, and she stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Ye Zhen thanks Second Master for the medicine on behalf of Jing Lan."

Ye Jinglan came back to his senses, bowed respectfully again, and said loudly, "Ye Jinglan thanks the Imperial Master for his mercy."

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, leaning slightly towards Ye Zhen, bending down and whispering in her ear, "Your brother's behavior... makes our master look like a charlatan who deceives men and women."

Ye Zhen choked and couldn't help but look at her brother again. Well, they do look alike.

"Jing Lan has been obsessed with Taoism since he was young. His family is poor, and his mother is reluctant to send him to the Taoist sect to practice. He admires you very much, and he was a little rude due to his emotional excitement. Please forgive me, Second Master."

Li Xuan'an raised his eyebrows, "Most people were very excited to see me. They all said they admired and respected me, and they didn't dare to get close to me. Only the Second Miss didn't see me."

This sounds weird. Is he disliking her for not worshipping him enough, or is he disliking others for worshipping him too much?

Ye Zhen thought, why not express my admiration as well?

But before she could move, Li Chengge, who had been waiting impatiently, raised his left hand and said to Li Xuan with a cold face, "Master Imperial Master, if you have time, can you put my arm down first?"

Li Xuan didn't even look at him. "I gave you so much time, why are you still here?"

The words were filled with a light rebuke and admonition, which made Li Chengge very dissatisfied. "You help her every time, and you still think the Marquis' Mansion is not shameful enough?"

Li Xuan sighed and raised his eyes lazily, "Brother brought his concubine to the city, drove a car in the market, scared people and bit them back. I thought brother didn't even remember that there was Dingyuan Marquis Mansion behind him."

This was the first time the two brothers had confronted each other since Ye Zhen left the Marquis' Mansion.

Although Li Xuan'an spoke in a gentle and kind voice, everyone could feel that the atmosphere between the two of them was very tense.

"There was a flood in the south, so General Cen left the city with relief food. He went on this trip for you because he felt sorry for his brother who lost his wife and took a new concubine."

"If he knew you were bullying others here, I wonder how disappointed he would be."

General Cen is Li Chengge's deputy general and a brother who once blocked a knife for him at the border.

Escorting the relief grain to the south should have been Li Chengge's first assignment after taking office, but because of the incident he caused, the higher-ups intended to assign the prince's people to do it, so General Cen had to give up the opportunity to attend to his mother's bedside and make this trip for him.

Li Xuan knew Li Chengge's character very well. Although he was hypocritical and selfish, he was not compared with himself at the border. He was passionate about killing enemies and had a group of soldiers following him. In his heart, this was more important than face.

Li Chengge originally thought that the matter was over, but after hearing what Li Xuan'an said, he was really shocked and felt a little ashamed.

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and Li Chengge's arm opposite him was able to move freely.

"I can't always clean up your mess, brother. You better take care of yourself."

Li Chengge was so angry that he couldn't swallow it, but he clenched his fists when he saw the team of Jinyiwei he brought with him, "Let's go."

Of course she couldn't sit in the carriage. Ye Xue's eyes moved back and forth between Li Xuan and Ye Zhen, thinking that something must have happened in the attic that night, otherwise how could someone as cold and heartless as Li Xuan help Ye Zhen again and again!

Li Xuan glanced in her direction. Ye Xue was walking and stepped on the crutch that Ye Jinglan dropped. She sprained her foot and was sweating profusely in pain.

"General..."

Li Chengge was still annoyed and didn't even bother to help her. He just ordered the guards behind him, "Help her walk."

Ye Xue was stunned. She let the guards come closer to support her in public?

She called out again in a trembling voice, "General, it hurts..."

Li Chengge said unhappily, "Are you leaving or not?"

Seeing that there was no hope, Ye Xue let the two guards carry her and walked towards the Ye Mansion in a panic. Looking at Ye Zhen again, she invited Li Xuan'an into the tea shed. It was unclear what she said, and Li Xuan'an helped Ye Jinglan feel his pulse.

She originally wanted to return home today to get rid of Ye Zhen's former glory, but now, even her sedan chair was gone halfway!

It’s all that damn cripple’s fault. She won’t just let it go like this!
