Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

"Speak up if you have something to say."

Li Xuan went to the outer room, where he took the time to take off his bloodstained coat and washed his face with the half-cold water in the basin. During this time, the silver bracelet on his wrist hit the edge of the basin, making a crisp sound. Then Sancho saw him take off the bracelet that he never took off.

That was something he had always had with him since he was a child. Even the sect leader couldn't take it off, so he just picked it like that?

Because you’re afraid of disturbing Miss Ye Er?

Sancho's fatigue over the past few days was replaced by a strong sadness at this moment. He felt that the sect was going to be defeated because the brightest star in its heart and eyes was now filled with women.

Li Xuan slowly wiped the blood off his body and changed into the ordinary mud-colored Taoist robe sent by the Taoist temple. The dull color could not cover the gleam in his eyes. When he turned around, the whole room was brightened.

"Junior Master, did your trip go wrong? Or is that evildoer so strong that he wants to destroy the sect? You look so sad... it hurts my eyes."

He took a sip of tea, and his mouth was filled with the sticky taste of rough tea, which was able to suppress the fishy and sweet taste rising up in his throat.

The effect of Ningxiang Pills wore off so quickly? As expected, trying to be brave and cool can lead to disastrous consequences.

Sancho sat down opposite him, and smelled a hint of blood. He frowned and said, "Are you worried that I'm disturbing your happiness?"

Li Xuan didn't comment and poured him a cup of tea.

"She's unconscious, how could you..." No matter how unrestrained Sancho usually was, he couldn't utter those blushing and heart-pounding words at this moment.

On the contrary, Li Xuan'an looked calm and said, "It's just feeding medicine, what do you think, Junior Master?"

Sancho blinked twice and asked, "Medicine?"

Li Xuan'an's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. "If she doesn't take the medicine, she will have a fever all night and her brain will be damaged."

Oh, it turns out to be medicine.

In the eyes of a Taoist, all living things are first seen, and then men and women are distinguished. This is not unacceptable. But the more he thought about the scene, the more he felt that the posture was too intimate.

Pulling someone's head and hugging their waist... Isn't that what those boudoir pictures in storybooks look like?

Could it be that he has evil thoughts in his mind?

In this time, Li Xuan had finished a cup of tea and coughed, "What happened in Xiaoquan Village? It took you so long to come back."

At this, Sancho's beard puffed up with anger. "It was because of the thunder that you caused that little creature to dig a hole and escape. I had to look for it for a long time."

"I spent several days in the soil."

"The reason why Xiaoquan Village is called this is because there are hot springs in the village. Prince Yu likes hot springs, so this matter has something to do with him."

"Has the soul of that evil creature been brought back?"

Sancho took off the precious gourd from his arms and said, "It's inside. Ask again when you feel better."

"Ah."

Li Xuan was powerless to interrogate him at this moment.

He took the initiative to extend his wrist to Sancho, "Please, little master, give me a prescription."

As soon as Sancho pressed his finger forward, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Li Xuan said slowly, "Junior Master has made great contributions in his life. It shouldn't be a problem for me to write a letter to the Discipline Hall to atone for your previous mistake."

Sancho's teeth were grinding, but he immediately put on a fake smile without any emotion, "You just know how to control me."

The next day, Ye Zhen finally woke up.

As soon as I regained consciousness, I smelled the sweet aroma of porridge and felt hungry.

Liuxia's face was filled with excitement as she helped her sit up. "Second Master told me to make porridge, saying that you would definitely wake up by this time."

"Fortunately, the Second Master was here last night. I am scared just thinking about it."

Liuxia put a soft pillow under Ye Zhen's waist, but even so, she still felt a little dizzy after sitting down. She wanted to say something, but she was hoarse and couldn't speak.

Liuxia first gave her some warm water to moisten her throat, and then fed her porridge spoonful by spoonful. After drinking half a bowl, Ye Zhen truly felt that she was alive again.

The last memory in my mind was Li Xuan vomiting blood and lying in my arms...

She pushed away the porridge Liuxia was feeding her, "Where's the Second Master?"

"Second Master is fine. He is playing chess with Taoist Master Yu Chenzi in the next room."

Sancho is coming?

Ye Zhen felt relieved knowing that he was fine and someone was taking care of him. She ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge and a piece of dessert.

Liuxia soaked a handkerchief and gave her a simple wash, changed her clothes, and tidied her hair. After all, Ye Zhen had just recovered, and she was a little sleepy due to lack of energy, so she went back to bed and lay down for a while.

The temple was simple and the bed was uncomfortable, so she took a nap and then woke up.

Liuxia came in with medicine, "Are you awake? It's time to take the medicine."

"Master Yuchenzi specially went down the mountain to buy some rare medicinal herbs, and said that it would be fine to drink it twice a day."

Ye Zhen felt cheerful when she heard the words, and she saw some candied fruit on the plate. She could tell by the smell that it was from Tianxianglou.

"Did you ask the Taoist priest to bring some candied fruit along the way?" Ye Zhen looked displeased, thinking that she shouldn't cause trouble to others.

Liuxia complained, "I don't even know when the chief went down the mountain."

"I was as surprised as you to see the candied fruit. The Taoist priest said it was the Second Master's order. The Second Master said that the young lady didn't like to take medicine, so he bought some more candied fruit for her."

Ye Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly. How did he know that she only ate the candied fruits from Tianxianglou? But then she thought again that the candied fruits from Tianxianglou were famous and were loved by the ladies of various families. Besides, Li Xu'an seemed to like sweets as well.

Well, that makes sense.

Ye Zhen held her breath and drank it in one gulp, then immediately stuffed two candied fruits into her mouth before she dared to breathe. Even so, she could still taste the sourness and bitterness.

Liuxia waited for her to recover, and could not help but sigh, "Second Master is so good to you. When I was cooking porridge this morning, I heard from the Taoist boy in the temple that when they opened the door at midnight last night, they saw him covered in blood, holding a sword and carrying you on his back. I almost didn't recognize him."

"Baiyun Temple is halfway up the mountain, and the road is not easy to walk on. The carriage was parked at the foot of the mountain, and it was Second Master who carried you up step by step."

"The Taoist priest who cleaned the house in the morning came back and said that there were bloodstains every few steps on the steps outside the temple." Liuxia couldn't bear it, and words of gratitude were not enough to express her gratitude to the national teacher.

Ye Zhen hadn't finished chewing the candied fruit in her mouth yet, and her heart was shocked when she heard the words.

He was so injured yesterday that he couldn't even stand up, and he still carried me to Baiyun Temple?

Ye Zhen's heart was surging, and her thoughts were in turmoil. Countless ideas emerged, but she still had no clue. In the end, she found that she couldn't even hold the teacup steadily.

She wanted to stop, but ended up knocking over the teacup. Liuxia became nervous and asked, "Second Miss, is your wound hurting again?"

Ye Zhen tried her best to keep her expression calm, "Yeah."

It didn't really hurt, but she instinctively wanted to hide it.

"I will go and tell the Second Master."

Ye Zhen wanted to stop her, but an idea popped into her mind: she wanted to see him.

The person was right next door. Liuxia could only walk a few steps, but the sound of footsteps echoed clearly in her heart, one by one, until she vaguely heard some voices, and she even held her breath.

Soon Liuxia came back. Ye Zhen looked behind her. The lush leaves outside the door swayed slightly in the wind, but he didn't come.

"The second master gave me some external medicine and said he would change the medicine for you in a quarter of an hour."

Ye Zhen didn't care about this and only asked, "Do you think the Second Master is very weak?"

Liuxia was shocked by the strong concern in her eyes and hesitated for a moment, "Second Master is in the inner room, I didn't see him. It was Taoist Master Yuchenzi who brought the medicine out."

It’s over. I won’t be able to get out of bed.

After attracting lightning in the Marquis' Mansion, Yun Zhui said that he had to be carefully raised. The killing spree yesterday was only more serious than attracting lightning.

Ye Zhen didn't want to wait even a moment, "I'll go take a look."
