Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan sat on the sedan chair, supporting his chin with one hand, looking a little tired.

Jinyiwei Tongzhi finally couldn't help but said, "Guoshi, you left His Majesty and said you had something urgent to deal with, which is... to help the second young lady of the Ye family get out of trouble?"

Li Xuan nodded lightly.

The Tongzhi said no more and couldn't help but guess what the relationship between him and Ye Zhen was, but no matter how hard he guessed, he couldn't guess that aspect. Even when His Majesty asked the Jinyiwei about it afterwards, they were still completely confused.

If the emperor asked personally, Li Xuan would have his own explanation.

What was giving him a headache right now was that Ye Zhen was still wary of him, refusing to wear the rosary and only wanted to thank him for his kindness, but he refused to do so.

In this world, we can meet each other only when we owe each other something.

He had waited so long for this opportunity, and even if God blocked all the ways out, he would still build one for himself.

Li Xuan'an got off the sedan chair and when he entered the Nuanxin Pavilion, there was no trace of fatigue on his face. His body was straight and his posture was dignified.

Compared to his calmness, Ye Zhen was faced with one crisis after another.

Liuxia came over in a hurry, "Second Miss, the general is staying at your house for dinner, but, but the food is poisonous!"

Ye Zhen didn't react much, "Li Chengge?"

"No, it's the Third Miss."

Ye Zhen snorted coldly, "This happened right under Madam's nose. Ye Xue wanted to use Li Chengge to establish her authority in the Ye family."

Fortunately she is not here.

But Liuxia's next words stopped her from laughing, "They found that the juice of the weeping angel was mixed into the Third Miss's tea. The weeping angel is the only one planted in the Young Master's courtyard."

Ye Zhen's eyes opened wide, brows furrowed tightly, and he ran back in a hurry.

The guards brought by Li Chengge were standing in the inner courtyard of the Ye Mansion. Ye Jinglan was forced to kneel in the middle of the courtyard. His blue robe was covered in dust, and his cheeks were flushed due to the pain in his left foot.

Li Chengge sat in the main seat, his eyebrows were sharp, and there was a hint of murderous intent all over his body. Cui looked at the weeping angel brought from Ye Jinglan's courtyard. There was a broken leaf and the juice from the crack had solidified.

Cui looked at Ye Jinglan with a gloomy face, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Li Chengge saw Ye Zhen from afar, his expression became more sinister, and he said coldly, "In the entire Ye Mansion, only your yard has a weeping angel planted in it, and Ye Xue didn't recognize your voice on the street just now. You hate her and you poisoned her out of anger."

Ye Jinglan's eyes were filled with anger. "I didn't! Ye Xue has loved bullying me since she was a child. If I wanted to poison her, why would I wait until now?"

Li Chengge's eyes fell on Ye Zhen who was walking in step by step, and his tone was provocative, "She took your sister's position in the Marquis' Mansion, and you want to avenge your sister."

Ye Jinglan laughed angrily, "I'm grateful that she didn't have time to come. The Marquis' Mansion is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. It's God's mercy that my sister was able to escape."

Li Chengge slammed the table, "Ye Jinglan!"

Seeing that he was angry, Cui interrupted and said, "General, calm down. The Dripping Guanyin is a good one in Jinglan Courtyard, but he went out early in the morning. Others may have entered his courtyard and made some moves."

“This matter needs further investigation.”

Li Chengge said, "Apart from the siblings, who else dares to touch this general's woman?"

Cui looked sad, clutching her handkerchief tightly, "No wonder Ye Zhen said that the general favored Ye Xue. It's only been a few days, the general must have forgotten Rong'er a long time ago."

"It's a pity that she had to guard the mansion for four years, until her life was exhausted. She finally waited for the general to come back, but she didn't have the blessing to enjoy it. Poor my son..."

Cui couldn't help but shed tears. Seeing Li Chengge's ungrateful face, she felt even more sorry for her daughter.

Li Chengge was annoyed and had a headache when he heard this. "I have not forgotten what Rong'er did for me. But Madam Ye knows why she put Ye Zhen by my side."

"Ye Zhen has ruined the reputation of the Marquisate. I haven't settled the score with her yet because of Rong'er's consideration. What else do you want, Madam?"

When they returned home today, Cui's attitude towards Ye Xue was as cold as ice, and Ye Yunsheng was also not interested and did not dare to show too much enthusiasm. Their behavior made Li Chengge more and more dissatisfied. Why should he not accept the woman he liked if she was not arranged by them?

No wonder Ye Zhen dared to make such a big fuss in the Marquis' Mansion. It seemed that everyone thought he was easy to control.

Cui was blocked by him and had nothing to refute.

Li Chengge deliberately said, "Ye Jinglan has the guts to poison people, so he probably isn't afraid of torture from the government. Someone, come here!"

Ye Zhen stepped forward and stopped him coldly, "There is no solid evidence to prove that Jing Lan poisoned him. General, are you trying to take revenge?"

"presumptuous!"

Li Chengge was still filled with anger, and when he saw her coming back so late, he couldn't help but imagine what she and Li Xuan did in the tea shed!

Did they have a good chat? Were they grateful? Or were they discussing how he had brought shame to the mansion?

Ye Zhen didn't give him any face at this moment, and met his angry gaze directly, "The general is unfair and has been fooled by others many times. Why can't I be unbridled!"

"You!" Li Chengge got angry and immediately flicked away the teacup at hand. Ye Zhen hurriedly protected Ye Jinglan, so the fragments did not hurt anyone.

She glared at him fiercely. "If I hadn't guessed, it must have been Ye Xue who said there was a weeping angel in Jing Lan's yard, and she herself said the poison in the tea was the juice of the weeping angel, right?"

Li Chengge subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he realized that she was right.

Ye Zhen knew from his expression that she had guessed correctly, and snorted coldly, "If Jing Lan poisoned the tea, he must have ordered the people in his yard to do it. Now we can call all the people who served him over, and even all the maids who touched the tea. Whoever got the juice of the Weeping Guanyin on his hand is the one who broke the leaf."

Cui immediately ordered people to do as she said.

Soon, seven or eight maids and servants were called over. After Ye Yunsheng's medicine boy checked them one by one, he found that none of them had any traces of the juice of the Weeping Avalokitesvara.

Li Chengge said, "Since the poison was deliberate, it will be cleaned up in time."

Before Ye Zhen could speak, the medicine boy explained, "The juice of the Dripping Guanyin does not dissolve in water. The reason why Miss San discovered that the tea was different just now was because the juice condensed together and formed a water droplet shape."

"If it gets stuck to your skin, you have to wash it with liquid medicine, otherwise it won't come off."

If you want to prepare medicine, you can't hide it from the pharmacist.

Seeing that Li Chengge had nothing to say, Ye Zhen said, "Since it wasn't done by anyone around Jing Lan, then it could be that Ye Xue directed and acted it herself. Let's check the girls around her."

Cui glanced at Wang Ma, who stepped forward and reported, "The only person with Auntie San and Auntie Xue today is Miss Hongluo."

"The master is expelling poison from Auntie, and Miss Hongluo is waiting inside."

Cui directly ordered, "You go in and replace her. It will only take a moment."

When Wang Ma went in, Hong Luo came out with unsteady steps and she knelt directly on the ground after coming down the last step.

Ye Zhen saw her put her right hand behind her back and scratched her fingertips vigorously with her fingernails.

Ye Zhen said quietly, "The poison of the Dripping Guanyin is not fatal if mixed in tea. If it comes into contact with blood directly, I'm afraid even gods can't save it."

Hongluo fell down on his calves, the five fingers of his right hand were stiff and he dared not move.

The medicine boy grabbed her hand and took a look, and the truth was revealed.
