Xueyan woke up. It was the next morning. Her head was still dizzy and it was already bright outside.

Seeing that Xueyan had woken up, Ji Xian called a doctor-like person to take Xueyan's pulse and stood by and watched her.

The doctor pondered for a while and turned to Ji Xian. "Reply to the prince's words, this girl was overworked, exhausted, and had weak qi and blood, and had damaged internal organs. She needed to be patient and conditioned for a period of time. She should not work harder, which would hurt her mind."

"Okay, you can take good care of me, be sure to make her better." Ji Xian nodded.

The man who looked like a doctor hurriedly said, "I'm going to get medicine here." After that, he leaned over and saluted, and went out Nuonuo.

"Xueyan, do you feel better?" Ji Xian sat next to Xueyan and asked softly.

"Thank you, Prince." Xueyan looked around. "Where is this?"

"This is the royal palace of Jizhou." Xueyan was about to get up, but Ji Xian stopped her. "No matter where you want to go, you must keep your body well first. You are very weak now."

"Ye Feng, how is General Ye?" Xueyan asked anxiously, looking worried. "Is he really going to be executed? Please beg the prince to save him."

"Don't worry, the father just took his military power and imprisoned him in the mansion."

"Is it just that?" Xueyan believed Ji Xian's words, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"He has made great military achievements in recent years and has always been valued by his father. It will be fine." Ji Xian replied quietly and asked instead. "Do you know him?"

"Well, can I see him? Now." Xueyan nodded and asked anxiously. She was still worried about Ye Feng.

Ji Xian was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Xueyan's eyes full of prayers, he immediately got up and went out, called a carriage, and ordered Xueyan to take her to the general's mansion.

It turned out that Xueyan always thought that children who grew up with officials and nobles were all playboys who were arrogant and bullied by their favor. Especially royal relatives like Ji Xian who were born in the royal family must be ignorant and only know how to be extravagant and enjoy all day long.

Master once said that those who can become officials in this life have accumulated great virtues in their previous lives, but even if they have deeper kindness in their previous lives, they are in this noisy and bustle world in this life. Faced with this wealth and glory, a few people can escape unstoppable and still retain a pure heart.

Until Xueyan met Ji Xian, she completely changed this concept. Ji Xian gave her the feeling of being gentle and calm, especially because his smile was so gentle that it made people feel very comfortable from the bottom of her heart.

Such a person can be friends with him. Xueyan thought that he had arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

"Miss Xueyan, the General's Mansion has arrived." The servant of the royal mansion stopped the carriage, turned around and lifted the curtains, and greeted Xueyan.

"Thank you." Xueyan got off the carriage, thanked softly, and turned around and walked up the stone steps of the General's Mansion.

The guard at the door stopped Xueyan and shouted fiercely: "Who are you? You dare to trek into the general's mansion!"

Xueyan was stunned. She rarely contacted humans. She didn't know how to answer this question. The servant behind her walked up and took out a golden waist sign for the guard to show it. "Rareless, the girl is our distinguished guest of King Ji Xian, where can't she go?"

When the guard saw the waist card, he was a little panicked. A smile immediately appeared on his face and became flattering. He said in a trembling voice: "The little one is really blind. I don't know if it's a distinguished guest from Prince Ji's mansion. He offended many girls and grandmas. Don't bother with villains."

Xueyan nodded, ignored it, and said calmly. "Can I go in?"

"Of course, please, girl!" The guards winked, and the two guards at the door hurriedly opened the mansion door and put Xueyan in.

The servant followed Xueyan and whispered: "They are people under Master Wu. They are ordered to guard General Ye here. They are ignorant. Girls, don't have the same knowledge as them."

Xueyan sighed coldly. "There is the kind of master, the kind of slaves there."

Ye Feng's mansion is very big. Although it is not as like a garden as the King Ji Mansion, it is also surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner.

Xueyan walked around the main hall and walked along the colorful stone road, and was led to the door of a side hall. "The general is in the study at this time, so let's go in." After the servant said that, he stood there and guarded, Xueyan walked up the stone steps.

"Senior Brother." Xueyan pushed open the door.

"Xueyan, why are you here?" Ye Feng held the book in his hand and sat under the window reading the book. He was a little surprised when he saw Xueyan coming.

"I heard that you are going to be executed, and I am here to save you." Xueyan replied anxiously. Seeing that Ye Feng was fine, her heart finally let go.

"How could he be executed? It's just imprisonment." Ye Feng smiled. "Silly girl, who did you hear?"

"That must be the trick of Master Wu." Xueyan was angry. Who else would there be besides him? "This person is really vicious."

"After all, I'm dragging you in." Ye Feng looked at Xueyan apologetically. "I wanted to protect you."

"You have been protecting me, otherwise you wouldn't have been imprisoned." Xueyan shook her head. If it weren't for obstructing Master Wu's persecution of Xueyan, he would still be a majestic general at this time. How could he be studied by Master Wu?

"It's not because of you." Ye Feng shook his head. "Mr. Wu is a man with a lot of tricks. He holds the handles of many people in the court, and uses their power to plan to commit crimes and commit rebellion. He wants to seize the country of Ji State in one day. I hold heavy troops and are not at his mercy. He competes with him in the court. He is like a stab in his throat and has been framed by me many times."

"Then are you still here? This time he caught your handle and will kill you." Master Wu saw that he was not a good-for-nothing lamp. Xueyan was very worried. With Ye Feng's ability, he could leave, and no one could stop him, but he was imprisoned here obediently. Xueyan was very strange.

"I can't just leave like this. If the country changes its ownership, there will be a disaster for all living beings. This is nothing to us, but it will be a catastrophe for the people of Ji Country. I can't watch the people of the world fall into this chaos, let alone he practices witchcraft and has a cruel personality. He must not let him usurp the country of Ji Country." Ye Feng took Xueyan's shoulder and looked at her apologetically and said, "I wanted to deal with these things well, so I went to find you, but I didn't expect you to be involved. I'm sorry."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Xueyan apologized. Ye Feng was the one who understood her best, but Xueyan did not realize his feelings of caring for the world. Although he was already an adult, he shouldered the mission of fighting against the ghost clan and had to take care of Xueyan's safety.

"Looking at you being much haggard, is there something wrong?" Ye Feng asked softly, looking at Xueyan gently.

"It's nothing. I'm just worried about your safety and come to see you." Xueyan explained. Ye Feng was already tired of stopping Master Wu's trick. She didn't want Ye Feng to worry about him.

"Don't worry, I'm just dereliction of duty and will not be in danger of my life." Ye Feng instructed. "Jizhou City is not safe now, so you should go back to Bihua Mountain and take good care of yourself. When I handle the affairs of the ghost clan, I will go to you."

"Okay." Xueyan looked at his serious eyes, nodded, and walked out of the general's mansion. She felt relieved when she knew Ye Feng was safe and sound. Xueyan hesitated whether to go back to Prince Ji's mansion.

"Let's go and say a word." Xueyan sighed lightly. He didn't blame him for leaving until he said goodbye last time. Instead, he helped her with all kinds of care. Along the way, Ji Xian took care of her so carefully.

As soon as the carriage arrived at King Ji's mansion, he saw Hua Ruoxi standing at the door of the palace, as if waiting for Xueyan.

"Senior Sister." Xueyan walked over and called out.

"I have heard of it. Is he okay with senior brother?" Hua Ruoxi came over and asked anxiously.

Xueyan nodded. "Don't worry, he was just imprisoned in the mansion, and there is no danger yet."

"Senior brother has always been steady and I think there will be no problem." Hua Ruoxi laid Xueyan over and looked at Xueyan's face carefully and asked. "What about you? You haven't seen each other for so long, you look so haggard." Xueyan's haggardness is written on her face. After a while, she has lost a lot of weight. "You are proficient in medical skills, so why can't you even take good care of yourself?"

Xueyan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, senior sister, I'm fine, I will take good care of myself."

"That's good." Hua Ruoxi nodded. "Senior brother is thinking about you, don't worry him."

"Prince, is he in there? I'm here to say goodbye." Xueyan asked.

"Are you here to say goodbye?" Hua Ruoxi was a little surprised.

"Well, I just came to Jizhou to see my senior brother. I feel relieved that he is safe. I am a demon and cannot stay here for a long time."

"Yes, junior sister, you have to remember that you are a demon, and Ji Xian is the future emperor. If you are with him, you will harm him."

"I understand that demons cannot be with people, Ji Xian is, and senior brother is, too." Xueyan smiled helplessly. "Don't worry, senior sister, junior sister remember."

"That's good." Hua Ruoxi responded and led Xueyan into the palace. "Since you want to see Ji Xian, come with me."

Xueyan followed Hua Ruoxi and walked along the path to the back hall. The courtyards here are intertwined and situated in a straight manner. Hua Ruoxi seemed to be very familiar with this place. She did not walk around, but walked straight to the study.

"Go, he's in the study." Hua Ruoxi said, pointing to a main hall behind.

Xueyan nodded, walked up the stone steps, knocked on the door gently, and a refreshing male voice came from inside. "Please come in."

Xueyan gently pushed open the door when she heard this. In front of her was a large desk. On both sides of the desk were two large vases. On the left side of the room were open windows. The bright sunshine poured in, shining on the bookshelf on the right. There were book scrolls of large and small, arranged neatly, making the whole room full of strong fragrance of books.

Ji Xian leaned against the window and looked at a scroll carefully. Seeing Xueyan coming in, Ji Xian raised his head. Xueyan apologized secretly, and rushed in rashly, disturbing the beautiful scenery in front of him who was enjoying the paintings by the window.

"Thank you for your care for me all the time. I'm here to say goodbye." Xueyan didn't walk over, but just stood at the door and saluted.

"But your body has not healed yet." Ji Xian turned his head, worried. "You look very unstimulated."

"Thank you for your concern. The mountains are quiet and suitable for rest. I understand medical skills and have sisters at home to take care of them. I will slowly recuperate."

Although Ji Xian has always treated Xue Yan very well and never forced him, Xue Yan looks very weak. If she is let go like this, Ji Xian is very worried. He wants to keep him. Xue Yan raised her head and looked at Ji Xian. "Although this Jizhou City is prosperous, it is too impetuous. The prince is wise and you should know my heart."

Ji Xian knew that Xueyan was like him, yearning for freedom and a natural state of mind, so how could he force her?

"Okay." Xueyan was determined to leave, and Ji Xian knew that she could not keep her. "But before leaving, I'll show you something."

Ji Xian raised the painting in his hand for Xue Yan to show it. It was the portrait of Xue Yan that changed Xue Yan's life.

With just one encounter, she could draw so much. Xueyan walked forward and looked at the scroll carefully. She was secretly amazed in her heart. The exquisite painting skills were probably not as good as those of the painters in the heavens. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and stroked the scroll and admired it.

"The prince is talented and has a wonderful calligraphy. I believe that there are countless people in this world who admire the prince. Xueyan is a mountain village girl, who is not worthy of the prince's affection."

"Xueyan, you don't know anything. Although I am the prince, there is no one around me who can recite poems and play the piano with me, know each other and cherish each other. Until that day, I accidentally heard the sound of your piano in the mountains and talked with you in detail, and then I know that you are the one I have been looking for in my life. Are you willing to be by my side? With you, I don't need to marry someone else in this life." Xueyan looked at him, and such a noble prince said something that was a pleading voice.

"How is that possible?" Xueyan lowered her head. She has always been indecisive and unwilling to hurt others. Now she has confirmed that she is the most kind spirit. Han Tian is not dead. She is still cursed by the curse of the demon world. She is worried that her unknown fate will hurt the people around her. She has been avoiding it, but she has backfired again and again. Missed Han Tian and implicated Ye Feng. Seeing such a plea, Xueyan thought about how to answer him. Maybe she has been used to being lonely since childhood. Xueyan has great obstacles in communicating with others. She wants to reject him, but is afraid of hurting him. "There are many people in this world who are good at playing the piano. Why should you obsess with me alone? You are the prince. You will definitely be countless beautiful women in the future and will not be lonely."

"Even if you support the world, no one can express your thoughts, isn't it sad?" Ji Xian's helplessness understood, but she was powerless.

"There are all Qu Gao and Widow in this world. The prince is blamed for being greedy for Feng Ya, but was born in the imperial family." Xueyan, as a demon, could not do anything, so she owed her body. "Please let me do it for you."

Ji Xian quickly helped her up. "I will naturally let you go, but once you leave, I'm the only one left in the world."

Ji Xian walked to the portrait, looked at the portrait and sighed. "I only want a confidant in the vast world, but my fate gave me the world, but I forgot that I am also a sentient being."

Xueyan saw Ji Xian's loneliness, but she couldn't do anything.

"It's better... let's be friends." Xueyan raised her head. Even if she couldn't meet again in the future, at least she would bless him from afar.

"Okay." Ji Xian was stunned at first and nodded. "Then I'll give this painting to you." Xueyan insisted on leaving, but Ji Xian did not force it.

Xueyan noticed a small line of words written in the lower right corner of the painting: "Three thousand years of lovesickness are as deep as the sea, I will only come for you in this life."

The pen tip is vigorous and powerful. Xueyan has been learning to write with her senior brother Ye Feng since she was a child. That is her most familiar handwriting.

She could not be with Ji Xian, nor could she be with Ye Feng, and the Hantian she loved deeply was even more out of reach for her. She was the loneliest person in the world. Is this the curse of the demon world? Xueyan closed her eyes and hid the pain in her eyes.

Ji Xian put the scroll in his hand and put it in Xueyan's hand. Xueyan's appearance had already been engraved in his heart, and this painting was already redundant.

Xueyan saw his loneliness. Maybe he really didn't find a person who was intimate. The so-called high places are so cold. Does anyone standing at the top have to learn to endure such loneliness?

Xueyan held the painting and sighed softly. Although she was a friend, she would never meet again after leaving. Xueyan returned the painting to Ji Xian. "I can't accompany the prince, let it accompany you. I hope the prince can meet a close friend and be happy for a lifetime." Xueyan only hopes that this painting will accompany him as a friend's wish.

"Okay." Ji Xian agreed, but Xueyan, don't you talk about happiness?
