Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Xuan's eyes were a little red, and when he looked at Meng Qianru with his phoenix eyes with such great deterrence and pressure, she couldn't help but want to avoid his gaze.

In just a moment, Li Xuan'an returned to his usual cold and aloof attitude, "My Lady, what do you think I will do?"

Meng Qianru felt that there was something else behind the words, "He's just an assassin. With the Jinyiwei guarding him, he won't make any mistakes. I really don't want you to worry about it."

Li Xuan said calmly, "Really?"

Meng Qianru drooped her eyes slightly, pursed her lips and said, "Whether for public or private reasons, I don't want the Second Master to be harmed in the slightest."

Li Xuan closed his eyes and stood taller than before, "I'm fine."

"If the princess's injury is not serious, we will return to the capital tomorrow."

"it is good."

Meng Qianru wanted to say a few more words to him, but she saw him turning his head to give a few instructions to the Jinyiwei and saying something to Sancho.

She had no choice but to put her injured hand back into her sleeve and slowly left with Yinxiang's help.

After leaving the west courtyard, he looked back at Ye Zhen's room and said, "Female relatives should not live in the same courtyard with the Second Master."

"Forget it. I have to go back to Beijing tomorrow anyway."

"Yinxiang, let Nongyu come over and take care of Miss Ye Er for the night. She hurt her face, so don't be careless."

Not long after, Nanyue came as ordered but was stopped outside the west courtyard gate by the Jinyiwei, who refused to let her in no matter what.

"I am here to take care of Miss Ye Er on the orders of the princess!"

"The Imperial Master has given face to our princess, you can't stop me!" Nanyue put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest and mentioned Meng Qianru's name.

The Jinyiwei usually stopped important people, so they didn't even frown at this moment. "Please forgive me, Princess Pingyang. The temple is not like the inner courtyard of the palace. If something happens tonight and we let you in, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it yourself."

"You, you guys!" Nanyue felt that she was being rejected and it was too embarrassing for the princess. She stood on tiptoe and shouted in anger, "Master Imperial Master! The princess ordered me to take care of Miss Ye Er."

"Master Imperial Master!"

When these two shouts came out, most of the Taoists in Baiyun Temple heard them.

After a while, Sancho came out with a dark face, "The Imperial Master said that the princess's hands are more important, you should go back and take care of the princess."

"Did Second Master really say that?"

After hearing what Nanyue said, Meng Qianru's expression relaxed slightly.

"Many people heard it." Nanyue smiled happily, "The Imperial Master is thinking about the princess."

Yin Xiang reapplied medicine for her and changed her handkerchief to a new green handkerchief embroidered with white flowers. Meng Qianru frowned again, "The Jinyiwei are on high alert, not allowing people from outside to come in, and not allowing people inside to go out. Tell them to behave themselves."

"If anyone runs away, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship."

Yinxiang understood and went out immediately to instruct the palace maids first, then went outside the courtyard to instruct the guards, even the guards and grooms who were on duty outside the temple.

To exaggerate a little, even the apricot blossoms halfway up the mountain could be heard.

West courtyard.

Sancho and Liuxia, who were watching over the stove and boiling medicine, sat on the left and right, each holding a palm-leaf fan, fanning themselves so that they would not be too tired, nor would they be bored.

Li Xuan checked Ye Zhen's wound in her room, although Ye Zhen repeatedly said there was no need to trouble the Imperial Master.

He first looked at the wound on his left cheek, and after making sure it had scabbed over, he then looked at the sunburned area on the back of his neck.

The door was still open, and the intermittent voices of Sancho and Liuxia could be heard. Ye Zhen gathered her clothes and avoided him, "It's done."

Li Xuan did not force his way forward, and said gently, "If it doesn't hurt or itch, it's not good. This amount of time is not enough to heal your skin. I need to check it before I can adjust the dosage."

He thought of the last time he cornered someone, and patiently explained, "It was not my fault that I disturbed the Second Miss's rest."

Ye Zhen was still wearing the mud-colored Taoist robe, with her long hair hanging down behind her head, revealing her snow-white skin in the gaps, which was particularly eye-catching.

Her breathing was a little heavy, and before she could speak, she heard Liuxia say to Sancho, "Miss has never been treated so carefully by the master and mistress in all the years she has been in the Ye Mansion."

"Second Master is so merciful."

Sancho leaned his head and replied, "This is the first time I've seen the Imperial Master take such notice of a girl!"

Liuxia didn't understand, but still smiled happily, "Second Master also said that our young lady is blessed with great fortune."

Sancho said meaningfully, "That's right."

Ye Zhen could tell that Sancho's tone was different, so she calmed down and said to Li Xuan, "The princess has injured her hand, you should go see her."

Li Xuan'an's eyes moved twice. He didn't like her suddenly mentioning someone else.

Ye Zhen added, "After all, when you were examining her soul, the princess was almost crying."

Li Xuan put down the teacup. This was the second time she had driven him away.

He felt a little blocked in his heart, and recalled what they said before he was kicked out twice, which made her change her attitude without any warning?

So Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly sorted out his thoughts.

After a long silence, Ye Zhen couldn't wait for his answer and suddenly felt that time was a bit torturous.

The medicine outside was just ready, and Sancho said it could be drunk after it was left to cool for a while.

She spoke again, "Second Master, it's time to take the medicine."

Li Xuan leaned forward against the table, a few drops of tea spilled out as he was knocked over. He lowered his voice and said, "Princess Pingyang followed my mother to the Qing Sect. She would come back to Beijing during festivals and help my father send me some gifts. Therefore, she is more familiar with me than others."

Ye Zhen looked up in surprise, a subtle light flashing in her eyes, lingering on his face.

Li Xuan reached out his arm and pressed her wrist to prevent her from dodging. "In the past, I had not yet cultivated to a level that satisfied my mother, so it was difficult for me to even say a word to her."

"Sometimes I hope she can pass on a message to my mother for me."

"But that was a long time ago."

His voice and eyes were calmer and clearer than usual.

Ye Zhen's heart was shocked. He was explaining to her!

She listened to it, but she also felt ashamed. She had no reason to care about anything, but she revealed her emotions and he guessed it.

Ye Zhen asked herself, what was she doing?

It would be fine if he just acted foolishly, but why would someone who had died once accompany him in doing foolish things?

But she also found that the difficulty was that she knew it in her heart, but once she met his snow-clear eyes, she didn't know what to say, so she had to struggle, "Let go, there are people outside."

Li Xuan used his body to shield her tightly, and his voice was calmer than hers, "They can't see it."

"That's not good either."

Ye Zhen noticed that his strength was increasing, and she didn't dare to struggle anymore, fearing that he would really get close to her.

Li Xuan also felt that he had lost his manners, but she was too good at being polite and distant. He could still control himself in front of others, but behind others he had to get closer and hold on tighter to prevent her from running away so quickly.

He didn't want to scare her or force her, but the closer he got to her, the louder the screams in his heart became.

He was not a saint standing in the clouds. He knew who he really was. The titles of National Master and Second Master were actually seals on him.

Li Xuan restrained himself and said, "Look at the wound. I don't mean anything else."
