Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen was mentally prepared and was not embarrassed to be exposed. She just whispered, "It really hurts."

Li Xuan'an ran his slender fingers along the ankle to below the knee and found that it was more serious than before.

He stood up, his face very gloomy, and put the external compress medicine aside, "Apply a thick layer, and the swelling of the calf will go down in an hour."

"But don't even think about walking. Otherwise, I should give the second young lady a pair of crutches."

Hearing him say this, Ye Zhen didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, "Thank you, Second Master."

Seeing her well-behaved, Li Xuan'an was moved and said in a long voice, "Or..."

Ye Zhen blinked, her bright pupils reflecting his handsome face. She thought he had a better way to make her feel better faster, so she began to look forward to it.

Li Xuan bent down, his eyes and eyebrows were indescribably warm and clear, even more charming than the wind.

Ye Zhen's ears gradually turned red, and she felt that she couldn't go on like this.

Just before she closed her eyes, he finally spoke compassionately, "The Second Miss wants me to come and see more often."

Ye Zhen was embarrassed. Not wanting him to have such a misunderstanding, she explained anxiously, "No. I..."

Just as I was thinking about what to say appropriately, I suddenly heard him chuckle and his eyes slightly raised. Then I realized that he was deliberately teasing me.

Phew, I hope it’s not a misunderstanding.

But Ye Zhen lowered her head even lower, looking even more embarrassed.

Li Xuan opened his palm in front of her again, and inside were two small ink-colored pills.

He had returned to his usual cold tone, "Come back in an hour and ask me for two more."

Ye Zhen stretched out her hands to take it, but he didn't move, so she had to take it. The tip of her shiny nails swept across the lines on his palm. She was more nervous than he was.

She held her breath and quickly pinched the pill, as if this was not his hand, but the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha, and if she didn't escape now, she would never be able to escape.

Li Xuan took in her subtle expression, smiled, calmly put the medicine bottle in, and then slowly put it into his waist.

Ye Zhen blinked and wondered why not give it the bottle as well?

But then I thought I was going too far. How could I be so greedy?

Baili Pavilion is not far from the capital, but the team moved very slowly. Yinxiang ran to the front to find Li Xuan'an every once in a while. After several times, Yinxiang was stopped by Sancho before she could get close to Li Xuan'an.

"The princess is feeling unwell again?"

"I'll go over and take a look." Sang Qiao pushed Yin Xiang to turn around, and seeing that she was still looking at Li Xuan, he said, "Second Master is writing a memorial to His Majesty, I'll go and stay with the princess."

"Don't worry, if the princess wants something, I will commit suicide to apologize."

Yinxiang couldn't say anything more.

Meng Qianru heard this in the sedan chair and immediately rebuked her in a weak voice, "I told you not to make a fuss. Why do you always bother the Second Master?"

Yinxiang was terrified, "This servant deserves to die."

Sancho bowed and said, "My lord, are you still feeling sick? Do you want to stop and relax?"

Meng Qianru was obviously a little guilty, "This princess can hold on."

"It's my fault for not disciplining Yinxiang well and causing trouble for the Taoist priest and the Second Master."

Sancho smiled heartily and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

With Sancho by his side, Li Xuan'an finally had some peace of mind.

It was almost 3 p.m. when we finally arrived at the city gate.

The sedan chair landed, and Liuxia took advantage of the time when the Jinyiwei and the guard were talking to rush in to help Ye Zhen tidy up her dress.

Following Li Xuan'an's words, Ye Zhen applied a thick layer of ointment on her calf. By now, the ointment had almost dissolved, and her previously swollen and red skin had miraculously returned to being fair and slender. Only the sprained ankle was still swollen, but it was not as shocking as before.

Liuxia wiped off the remaining ointment with a clean towel, carefully fixed her skirt, and said with emotion, "You didn't say a word even though you were so swollen. Princess Pingyang was just a little uncomfortable because of the blood, and Taoist Yuchenzi had to accompany her by the sedan chair."

Ye Zhen reminded, "It has nothing to do with us, don't talk about it behind our backs."

"I just feel sorry for you and I will endure it all the time."

"If it weren't for the Second Master, you wouldn't know how much you would have suffered."

It's no wonder Liuxia said that. Even if she returned to the mansion, no one would really take care of the Second Miss! It's better to stay at Baiyun Temple for a few days. Although it's a bit hard, the Second Master cares about them.

Ye Zhen didn't know that she had thought so much. She gently moved her right leg and found that only the sprained part was painful.

"It's not that I have to endure it. It really doesn't hurt that much after taking the medicine."

Li Xuan'an's abilities were truly amazing. Even if he had reached a high position of power in his previous life, it would have been difficult to make up for the damage to his body by spending a large amount of money.

If she had some friendship with her uncle Li Xuan in her previous life, she wouldn't have injured her hands and knees.

When she thought about how she and Li Xuan'an were supposed to be uncle and sister-in-law, but now they were alone together many times, and he even spoke so close to her...Ye Zhen subconsciously covered her cheeks.

At this time, Li Xuan'an was heard outside saying, "Princess Pingyang was frightened. Please trouble the Jinyiwei brothers to escort the princess back to the palace first."

Meng Qianru leaned forward and asked, "Second Master, won't you come with me to the palace to see the Emperor?"

Li Xu'an coughed twice, and Ye Zhen's eyes tightened as well. He said, "I will wait until Your Majesty has finished his dinner before I go."

Meng Qianru could only remind him, "Second Master, go back to the mansion and have a rest. I'll wait for you at Chonghua Gate later."

When the guards followed her into the city, the gate guards saw that there was still a person in a sedan chair who had not come out. "I am here to do my duty. I wonder who is the other distinguished person in the sedan chair?"

The news that Ye Zhen and Li Xuan'an were recuperating in Baiyun Temple had already spread throughout the capital. The guard did not dare to speak carelessly in front of the imperial teacher and just asked with a smile.

Ye Zhen was about to get up and leave when Liu Xia stopped her, "Have you forgotten what the Second Master told you? You can't move a step."

Having said that, she was not a noble person and was not qualified to ride in a sedan chair to the capital.

Li Xuan said from outside, "Inside is the first daughter of Ye Academy, Miss Ye Er, she has injured her foot and cannot get out of bed."

The guard was also smart, "Then I'll have someone bring a stretcher over."

Li Xuan'an glanced at her with a sidelong glance, "You let Miss Ye be watched by so many people?"

"If you don't know, you might think Dean Ye has offended you in some way."

The guard felt a cold breath around him, and hurriedly explained with a smile, "Please forgive me, Master Imperial Master, Miss Ye has no rank or title, and without the emperor's special permission, no, she cannot ride in a sedan chair to enter the capital."

Ye Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Xia, help me out."

Liuxia was worried about her feet and refused, "Second Master hasn't spoken yet, don't be impatient."

Ye Zhen said seriously, "Help me!"

Liuxia shuddered and reluctantly stretched out her arm, preparing to lift the curtain with her other hand.

At this time, Li Xu'an asked the guard, "If she can't, what about me?"

The guard bowed even lower and said, "Your Majesty has granted the Imperial Master special permission to obey orders and not to be summoned. You can ride in a sedan chair in and out of the palace. I dare not stop you."

Li Xuan turned around and walked to the sedan chair in two steps. Just as he bent down, Liuxia opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

He and Ye Zhen looked at each other, and when he saw that she was disobedient and wanted to stand up, he immediately frowned and said, "Please move aside, Miss. I will squeeze in with you."

The words that Ye Zhen was about to say were blocked by the paleness on his face, and Li Xuan had already bent over and came in, turning his head to cover his lips and coughed. She immediately made room for him.
