Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan pushed her hair aside, and before he had time to take a look at the wound, the air around him turned cold, and he suddenly protected Ye Zhen behind him.

"Erxiao..." Liuxia's voice suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, seven or eight men in black fell from the sky.

Li Xuan used his sleeve to cover her face, and stretched out his right arm. Suddenly, a long sword glowing silver appeared in his palm. He asked her, "Are you afraid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black on the opposite side rushed over with a knife brandished.

Ye Zhen said she was not afraid but that was a lie.

Are these people here to kill Li Xuan?

As if knowing that she would have bad thoughts, the leading black-clothed man shouted, "Master only wants her life."

The tip of the knife pointed at Ye Zhen, and the black-clothed man's gaze was like a bow and arrow riding on the wind, making her feel cold all over.

Ye Zhen quickly hid behind a big tree, "As long as the Second Master is here, I'm not afraid!"

"Second Master is possessed by a god, and is invincible!"

Li Xuan'an shook his body, covered his lips and started coughing.

Ye Zhen:...

In his previous life, he was either taking medicine or recuperating from an illness. He took a long time to catch his breath after that sword strike just now. Now... is he okay?

Seeing the killing intent approaching, Li Xuan managed to suppress his breath with great difficulty, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "You think so highly of me, if I can't win, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

Ye Zhen also felt that what she had just said was inappropriate, "Second Master's safety is the most important thing."

But she was thinking, if she couldn't win later, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to run away alone? Should she drag him along?

Li Xuan'an was dressed in white clothes that shone like moonlight. His every move was as slow and unhurried as a normal conversation. He seemed to be non-aggressive, but he was able to hold the seven people back steadily.

His sword was thinner and longer than an ordinary cold blade, making it easier to attack. Unfortunately, after dozens of moves, he was getting slower and slower. Ye Zhen's heart tightened. Was this... not going to work?

Logically, she still has time to run now. Morally, running now or later is not something a human being can do.

Li Xuan kicked away a person who flew towards him, his breath a little disordered, "From the palace?"

The black-clothed man in the lead suddenly looked fierce, "Master, there is no need for you to make things difficult for us just because of an indecent woman."

"We only want her and don't want to offend the Imperial Master."

"If you stop now, we won't have to make things difficult for you."

Li Xu'an's eyes curled up into a cold smile, "Wrong."

The man in black was shocked, and the next second he felt the sword in his hand buzzing due to a terrible internal force.

Li Xu'an's clothes and hair moved without wind, his eyes, which were originally as clear as water, were like stars in a cold pond, and he swept across everyone with a gloomy cruelty, "I can't let you go now."

He tilted his head, and at the moment when his ten slender fingers formed a seal, the long sword at his side suddenly hung in the air. A dazzling silver light suddenly appeared, as if long needles were piercing into his eyes, and screams were heard incessantly.

The leading black-clothed man felt a dull pain in his chest, and felt as if all the meridians in his body were disconnected. His brothers fell down one by one. He looked at the white shadow in disbelief, and his mouth was full of blood foam when he opened his mouth, "How could it be... They say that the state master's body is empty..."

With a "bang", the man in black fell heavily.

The fresh scent of grass and trees in early spring covered up the smell of blood, and even the corpses were hidden by the half-human-high grass.

The world returned to silence. Ye Zhen could hear nothing but Li Xuan's heavy breathing.

He half-knelt on the ground, leaning on his sword. His snow-white robe was stained with grass debris and there was scarlet blood on the cuffs. Fortunately, it was splashed by the men in black just now.

Ye Zhen's thoughts kept running wildly, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.

He killed them all?

"Cough cough."

Li Xuan seemed to be coughing out his heart and lungs. Ye Zhen's legs were weak. "Second Master."

"Wow."

He vomited a mouthful of deep red blood, which instantly spread out on his robe in a shocking manner.

Li Xuan wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, stretched his neck to breathe, his Adam's apple moved twice in front of her eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I scared you."

Ye Zhen's entire back was wet with cold sweat. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that. He was already in this state, yet he was still worried about scaring her.

"No, no."

She leaned over and held Li Xuan'an's arm with both hands, but he held her wrist.

He tilted his head and smiled. Although he was in such a mess, there was still a light joy between his eyebrows, "You are shaking like this and you still say no."

Ye Zhen then realized that her ten fingers were pulling his entire sleeves so hard that they were shaking, and his warm and cool palm pressing on her wrist neither too hard nor too lightly calmed her heart.

"I'm sorry. I..." Ye Zhen lowered her eyes, "I caused Second Master to suffer such a serious injury."

She felt so guilty that her eyes were sore. "I'll help you to a clean place to rest. This place is closer to Prince Yu's manor. I'll ask Liuxia to find someone."

She thought of a solution as quickly as possible, but she was still very anxious when she saw the blood on his clothes. She hated herself for not being able to help him because of her poor medical skills.

Li Xuan looked at her nervous expression carefully, and it seemed as if the blood he swallowed had turned sweet.

He wanted to use his sword to stand up, but now he had an idea and decisively abandoned the sword. He slowly leaned into her arms and said, "I have medicine in my arms."

"Please, Miss, take one."

Ye Zhen leaned forward and let him rest his head on her shoulder steadily. She reached into his arms without hesitation, not caring about whether his waist was thin or not.

Li Xuan stared at her without blinking, "There is a small bottle on the right."

Ye Zhen reached over and found a small white porcelain bottle. Inside was a brown bean-sized pill. "Is one pill enough?"

Li Xuan snorted lightly, as if he was exhausted and couldn't breathe more.

Ye Zhen poured out a pill and put it to his lips. When she felt the blood that had not yet dried, she couldn't help but hold her breath.

Li Xuan'an's face was pale, his eyes could hardly open, but his lips were very hot, opening and closing them in her palm as he sucked the pill, as if something was tickling his heart.

After finally feeding it in, Ye Zhen met his dark eyes again. She asked in panic, "Do you want water?"

Li Xu'an's eyelids jumped, "Second Miss, do you have water?"

Ye Zhen wanted to crawl into the ground, "No, no."

Li Xu leaned against her calmly, his Adam's apple moved twice, his brows slightly furrowed, "It's really hard to swallow after the Second Miss reminded me."

Ye Zhen thought, how could something the size of a mung bean be so hard to swallow?

Then he coughed and said weakly, "It would have been great if I could have saved the blood I just spit out for medicine, but now it's gone."

What is this word?

Ye Zhen pursed her lips, "How about I pat Second Master on the back?"

Li Xu'an raised his eyelashes slightly, "Then, thank you very much."

Ye Zhen placed one hand across his collarbone and gently stroked and patted his back with her right hand, just like when she was helping a younger brother to calm down when he was a child, with just the right amount of force.

The night was dim, and Li Xuan took off the mask of gentleness and composure that he usually wore as the Imperial Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it only lasted for a moment.

Because the identity below that of the National Master cannot be seen in the light, it is a nightmare, it is a skeleton buried in hell.

"Do you feel better?"

Ye Zhen felt that his breathing became much more even and his movements slowed down.

"Much better. The Second Miss is more effective than the imperial physician."

Although he was joking, his tone was serious.

Ye Zhen completely let go, "It's the Second Master's magic medicine that works."

"I asked Yun Zhui to give it to you before, but you refused it. What good is that?"

Li Xuan propped himself up and stood up. His voice was louder than before, but it sounded a bit aggrieved and dissatisfied?

In fact, his chest felt painful as if it was being cut by a knife whenever he moved. He could only speak to cover up his weakness. After he stood firm, he heaved a long sigh of relief and suddenly realized that there was no trace of Ye Zhen's breath behind him.

His whole body tensed up, and he turned around to see Ye Zhen fainted on the ground.
