Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

This old lady is Ruan, the wet nurse of Prince Yu.

When Prince Yu was young, he contracted smallpox. His own mother refused to take care of him, so it was Ruan who stayed with him day and night. It is said that when the condition was serious, Prince Yu vomited everything he ate. Ruan was afraid that he would not survive, so she fed him her own blood and finally saved him from the hands of the King of Hell.

After Prince Yu recovered, his temperament changed drastically. He became unfriendly and only listened to Ruan's words.

Later, when Prince Yu's mother died, he asked for permission to take Ruan to his palace to live with her and treated her with great filial piety. Ruan's status also rose with the tide, and she gradually revealed her greedy and cruel nature, but Prince Yu never responded to her requests.

At this time in the previous life, Ruan was attacked in the suburbs and injured her leg. Ye Zhen took this opportunity to offer Cui the elixir brought back from the south, and served by her bedside for several days before gaining Ruan's trust.

At this time, the sound of fighting not far away was getting farther and farther away. It was thought that the assassin had led the palace's servants away.

Ye Zhen broke out in a cold sweat. This time she had no intention of helping Li Chengge get promoted, and there was no need for her to interfere in these matters.

Yuan Bao hugged Lan Hua tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Second Miss, let's run quickly?"

"Help!"

"Somebody come!"

The old woman beside Ruan screamed heartbreakingly, and then she was slapped twice, with the blade pressed against her neck. The old woman and Ruan were so scared that they lost their souls.

Ruan's hand with three gemstone rings trembled, "I want money for you, don't, don't kill me."

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as she opened her mouth, the blade of the knife on her neck suddenly stood up. Ruan screamed and rolled her eyes. If she was hit again, she might wet her pants.

Seeing this, the assassin laughed sarcastically.

Because of this, he relaxed his vigilance and did not notice that Ye Zhen had unknowingly come behind him. By the time he saw the blurry figure in Ruan's wide eyes, it was too late.

He felt a sudden pain between the second and third vertebrae at the back of his neck, and the next second his bulging eyes were filled with fear. The knife in his hand fell, and his seven-foot-tall body collapsed to the ground like mud. He twitched several times and became unable to move, but he was not dead yet.

Ruan and her maid were stunned and couldn't help but scream again, but Ye Zhen quickly covered her lips with his hands.

Ye Zhen's breathing was short, and her calm and composed affection was reflected in Ruan's eyes. The latter tightly grasped her arm, and her lips trembled several times before she said in a lost voice, "Girl..."

"Shh!" Ye Zhen pretended to keep quiet, but when she heard footsteps approaching, she immediately half-dragged and half-pulled Ruan to hide under a low slope.

Ruan looked at her in horror, taking in every detail of her features. The jewel ring hurt Ye Zhen's wrist, but it showed how excited Ruan was.

Ye Zhen held her breath, her eyes fixed on the movements on the hillside. It was not because she was nervous, but because she knew that Prince Yu's guards were no pushovers. In the previous life, none of those assassins escaped, and in the end they were found to be unknown assassins, but Prince Yu blamed the crown prince.

As to whether he is the prince's man, there is no way of knowing.

Ruan was fat and had to be dragged by Ye Zhen. After a long time, her arms became weak. In addition, Ruan was shaking all the time and she didn't need to exert any strength to support herself. Finally, she slipped and made a noise.

hiss···

This useless old woman.

Ye Zhen's teeth were almost broken, and she pulled Ruan's outer jacket tightly to steady the man. But the noise was enough to alert the people above, and when she looked up again, there were indeed several pairs of cold eyes staring at them, and her scalp felt tingling.

Fortunately, before the knife was chopped down, the guards who had lured the tiger away from the mountain were driven back to Prince Yu's Mansion. After a fierce fight, Ye Zhen and Ruan were rescued.

She was almost fainting, but her fingers were pried apart from Ruan's clothes one by one. It took her a long time to stretch them out, but she was shaking uncontrollably due to exhaustion.

Ruan took a breath and looked at Ye Zhen with tears in her eyes, venting her anger at the guards, "What a waste! If it weren't for this girl who sacrificed herself to save me today, I would have died here."

"I deserve to die, please forgive me, old lady!"

More than a dozen guards knelt in front of Ruan and clasped their fists to apologize. It was such a grand ceremony, which was completely different from the previous time when they were almost peeing their pants due to the assassin.

Ruan's maid came to her senses and helped her tidy up her clothes and hair. "Don't be angry, old lady. The prince will punish them."

Ruan snorted coldly and said nothing more. She changed her face to a friendly one and asked Ye Zhen, "Are you injured, young lady? Don't worry, come back to the palace with me later. I will find the best doctor to see you."

The old woman said to Ye Zhen, "Young lady, you will be blessed in the future!"

Ye Zhen pretended to be stunned for a long while, her eyes moved back and forth between Ruan and the swords of the guards with the word "Yu" engraved on them. Suddenly, she knelt down to Ruan and said, "Your servant greets the old lady. I did not know your identity before, so I am sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."

Ye Zhen acted out her sudden realization very realistically, and Ruan Shi showed a calm but superior smile, "What's your name? Whose daughter are you?"

Ye Zhen did not dare to hide anything and said carefully, "I am Ye Zhen, the concubine daughter of Ye Yunsheng, the head of the Imperial Hospital. I just met the old lady in front of the flower garden and came here after hearing her call."

Ruan had regained her composure by this time, her eyes full of brilliance, "Ye Zhen? Madam Cui took her in her name, and later assigned her to General Li of the Marquis' Mansion as his concubine."

Ye Zhen lowered her head even lower, "I have broken off the engagement with the general."

Ruan's eyes moved, "I heard that this incident caused a great uproar in the city, and also affected the reputation of the prince's Northern Camp Army."

"I deserve to die." Ye Zhen kowtowed hurriedly to plead guilty.

Ruan snorted coldly, "What crime have you committed? All crows are black."

Ye Zhen was extremely respectful and had just the right amount of excitement, "Old Madam is wise."

Ruan finally stood up with the help of her maid and said, "Come back to the palace with me. After the imperial physician examines you, I will send someone to take you back."

"Thank you for your kindness, old lady. I am fine. And the general is bringing his concubine home today, so I have to go back."

Ruan got into the car and sneered again when she heard this, "Bringing a concubine back home? You are so arrogant."

After bidding farewell to Ruan, Ye Zhen met Yuanbao at the city gate. She saw Yuanbao sweating profusely and his legs were still shaking, but he was holding Lanhua tightly in his arms.

The flowers were fine, and she was relieved.

"Second Miss, you scared me to death."

Ye Zhen laughed, "I'm fine. I wasted a lot of time. I'll go and give flowers to the Second Master."

Yuanbao couldn't believe it, "That, that's Prince Yu's wet nurse..."

"I know. That's why I rescued her."

Yuan Bao was puzzled. "She has a bad reputation and can't tell right from wrong. I heard that a servant accidentally sneezed next to her and was dragged out and killed. What if she feels embarrassed and disappointed when she returns and you see her and want to silence her?"

Ye Zhen shrugged, "That's just my bad luck."

Yuanbao became more and more scared as he thought about it. After a long while, he uttered, "Why did you save her?"

Ye Zhen thought, this is to completely stop Li Chengge’s idea of ​​ascending to the throne from Prince Yu!

She had just revealed her identity to Ruan and mentioned the matter of Li Chengge bringing Ye Xue back home. Ruan was obviously unhappy. She was unhappy and said a few words in front of Prince Yu. Naturally, Li Chengge would not end up well.
