Although he is in the harem and has the power to assist in the six palaces, Nan Yan cannot understand the subtle changes in every person and every moment in the harem.

Just like she knows that people's hearts are easy to change, but she cannot predict who will change and how it will change.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the ceremony.

The night was dark, like a thick dark curtain, covering the originally quiet and elegant Zhujian Academy, adding a deep and weird atmosphere to it.

Inside the harmonious room, a lonely lamp is like a bean.

Jian Ruocheng sat at the table, looking at the swaying candlelight, as if he was swaying at this moment.

At this time, a very light footsteps came from outside the door.

A gust of wind blew the candlelight in front of him swayed slightly, and it also shone Jian Ruocheng's gaze into a bright and unstable state. He said in a deep voice: "Who?"

"Master, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Jian Ruocheng frowned slightly, got up and opened the door. He saw a student standing in front of the door with a candlelight. It was Qian Xiuwen, the student who had caused a storm in Zhujian Academy because of illness and injury.

He saluted respectfully to Jian Ruocheng: "Master."

Jian Ruocheng said: "Xiuwen? It's so late, what are you going to do?"

"The student saw that the Master's room was still lit."

"Um?"

"The Master has almost never slept all night these days."

Jian Ruocheng was silent for a moment and said, "I just can't sleep, come in."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the table to sit down. Qian Xiuwen also walked in, put the candlestick in his hand on the table, and then knelt on the opposite side of him in a regular manner.

There were two candles on the table, which made this Yashe lighter a little brighter.

However, facing these two clusters of flames, Jian Ruocheng's eyes were still cold and even dark and dull.

He looked at the student in front of him and said gently: "How is your injury?"

Qian Xiuwen looked down at his wrist. There was a thick bandage wrapped there, but it didn't hurt anymore. With the past two days of recuperation, he has improved a lot.

He said, "The students are fine."

"Have you ever had this disease before?"

"Some have happened, but every time I fainted for a while, I woke up. It was not as serious as this time, so the students didn't care."

"This is not possible. No matter how much you study literature, you cannot ignore your body."

"After this time, the students knew that they would never be careless again."

"That's good."

Qian Xiuwen looked at the gloomy look on his face and said softly: "Is the Master still worried about the upcoming ceremony tomorrow and the students are going to sacrifice tributes?"

Jian Ruocheng was silent for a moment, and then said, "Aren't you worried?"

Qian Xiuwen said: "There are some brothers who are a little angry."

“…”

"Especially, they wanted to leave the academy this morning, but were stopped by the guards outside. We seemed to be in jail."

“…”

Jian Ruocheng smiled faintly.

There was a little helplessness and a little bitterness in the smile.

The academy was originally a free place, and these students were just here to study and solve their problems, but now, because of him, because of their reasons, they have become "prisoners". It is even possible that in the future, there will be unknown dangers waiting for them.

It’s not that there is no pressure in his heart.

However, he looked up at the student in front of him and found that his face was too pale because of illness, with a very calm expression, and said, "You don't look worried."

Qian Xiuwen thought for a while and said, "In the past, he was very resistant to the affairs of the court, but so many things have happened in the past few days, and the students have some ideas and want to talk to the Master."

Jian Ruocheng knew that this was his purpose tonight.

Then he said, "You said."

Qian Xiuwen said: "The young master who saved me is actually His Highness the King of Wei. I heard that he may also be the prince in the future, right?"

Jian Ruocheng glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's just that there's a possibility."

But I added another sentence in my heart, but this possibility is getting smaller.

Qian Xiuwen said: "His father, the person who came to the academy that day, is His Majesty the current emperor."

"good."

Qian Xiuwen took a deep breath.

Qian Xiuwen said with a complicated expression: "Before, I have been listening to legends about the emperor's cruelty and insincereness, and he killed King Ning's own brothers with his own hands; and he acted erratic and unreasonable, and even more, he was not a royal family at all and was not worthy of inheriting the throne."

"Well, what do you think?"

"The student has not had contact with him, so he can't say it. However, this time, the King of Wei was falsely accused of harming me. No matter where he was placed, it was a big case. In addition, our academy had been making remarks that were not good for the court and the emperor before, but he did not take action against our academy. This surprised the student."

“…”

Jian Ruocheng didn't say anything.

Qian Xiuwen continued: "Of course, the one who surprised the students the most was King Wei."

"Oh? Why?"

"The Master may not know that before I became ill, I was following the Master's words and leaving Gezhu; but I was very upset and I was still unlawful. It was his words that made the students suddenly enlightened."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He told me that bamboo remains unchanged and everything remains unchanged. The only thing that changes is the same, which is the human heart."

"Human heart?"

"Yes, he said, the heart produces all things."

“…”

"So, what I want to qualify is the bamboo in my heart."

“…”

"I think he is right. The heart remains unchanged and everything remains unchanged. Only when the heart is covered with dust, the bamboo is not the original bamboo."

Hearing these words, Jian Ruocheng's originally silent eyes also shook slightly.

He murmured, "The heart is covered with dust..."

For some reason, this sentence kept stirring in his heart, as if something was surging, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After a while of silence, he murmured to himself: "This child has made great progress."

"Um?"

Qian Xiuwen didn't hear it clearly, so he raised his head and looked at him: "Teacher, what did you say?"

He shook his head quickly and said in a concealment: "It's nothing, you continue."

"oh."

Qian Xiuwen said again: "Of course, as a prince, he has better knowledge than us, which is not surprising, but it is still difficult for him to see this."

“…”

"But what the students really didn't expect was that he had such good medical skills and would come to save me at all costs."

“…”

"Teacher, there are many people around us who study medicine, but most of them are for their livelihood or inherit family education, but the King of Wei is obviously not. He took the initiative to study medicine and said that this person is a very kind person."

“…”

"Students couldn't help but wonder, if such a person could inherit the throne and become the emperor of our Great Yan Dynasty, would everything be better in the future?"

“…!”

Jian Ruocheng's eyes flashed slightly with the swaying candlelight.

He said: "You think it's a long-term future."

“…”

"It's rare that you are not only looking at the present, but it seems that the study these days has not been in vain."

Qian Xiuwen smiled humbly.

Then, he showed a look of worry and said, "What the students don't understand is Xia Junior."

Jian Ruocheng said: "Oh?"

"He, who is he?"

“…”
