Chapter 53 Love in the Sunset
When I woke up, Xueyan felt much more energetic. Although autumn is a bleak season, after many days of rain, the blue sky outside the window was washed by water, and the cloudlessness of thousands of miles will always make people feel much more comfortable.
Xueyan got up and moved her body, sat in front of the window to dress up, Cai'er led a few maids 66 to come in continuously, and prepared a utensil for Xueyan to wash.
Xueyan called out to Cai'er and asked softly, "Cai'er, where is the prince?"
"The emperor is sick. The prince has to go to the palace every day these days and will not come back very late." Cai'er replied.
"Oh." Xueyan responded.
"Don't worry, the prince knew that Miss Xueyan liked playing the piano. She was afraid that the girl would be lonely all day long, so she prepared this for Miss Xueyan." Cai'er called the maid beside her, and the maid was holding a piano in her arms.
Xueyan sighed inwardly, Ji Xian was really interested.
Seeing Xueyan lowering her head and not speaking, Caier hurriedly said, "The prince also told me to take the girl around if she is bored and bored. This Jizhou City is so big, there are so many fun things."
Xueyan saw Caier talking happily, and couldn't bear to ignore her beauty, and smiled slightly. "Okay." Caier was so playful that she looked a bit like Xiaoqi, but Xueyan wanted to save Xiaoqi and Xiaochen, so she had no intention of playing.
The breakfast in the royal palace was very rich, but Xueyan had no appetite. She ate something and wandered around the royal palace.
The entire palace is located on both sides of a river. Each palace is built on the water. The corridors are intertwined and the trees are hidden. There is no luxurious golden decoration. It is more of a natural beauty. Xueyan thinks about her thoughts and walks around. Caier sees that Xueyan is calm and always quiet and does not like to talk. She also knows that Xueyan doesn't like her talking too much and dares not disturb her. She just follows her silently behind Xueyan.
Xueyan has almost never had contact with humans. The three realms have different pursuits. The heavenly realm pursues cultivation, the demon realm pursues strength, but the human realm pursues power, but the human realm pursues power. This Xueyan can understand that after all, what you see is different, and what you want in your heart is naturally different.
Xueyan saw that Caier seemed to be a little afraid of her, so she slowed down and took the initiative to talk to her. "Caier, where is your home?"
"I...I don't have a home." Cai'er replied, seeing that Xueyan was a little puzzled, and hurriedly explained: "When I was very young, my father sold me to the opera troupe. The troupe's headmaster always beat us up and scolded us. He worked early and late, and didn't give us food. When the prince saw that we were pitiful, he bought us to the royal palace to be maids."
Xueyan looked at her with a little pity, and she was a poor child again. "Then don't you miss your family?"
"Why do you think about it? They don't want me anymore! The prince treats people leniently, and the prince's mansion is my home." Caier answered firmly.
"Yes, he treats people sincerely, but I..." Xueyan whispered to herself. "I'm not worthy of him at all. Don't you have to treat me like this?"
"The prince is in love with the girl, how can we be neglected?" Cai'er looked at Xueyan and then said, "Miss Xueyan is so happy. I'm afraid she will envy all the women in the world."
"I'm just a meeting with him." Xueyan looked quietly in the distance.
"The girl doesn't know. A few days before the prince's birthday, I just came back from Quancheng, and I have been painting the girl's portrait in the study. It can be seen how important the girl is in the prince's heart!" Cai'er said incessantly. "The girl's painting of the girl playing the piano is the best. I always doubt that there will be such a beautiful woman in the world. When I see the girl, I realize it is true. As expected, it's as beautiful as a fairy..."
"Do you want to listen to me playing the piano?" Xueyan quickly interrupted her and changed the subject.
"Of course I wonder, our prince said, the girl's piano sound is unparalleled in the world!" Caier nodded excitedly. Before Xueyan could say anything, she turned around and ordered the maid behind her, "Go and bring Miss Xueyan's piano."
Cai'er led Xueyan to the corridor and saw the exquisite guqin on the water pavilion at the end of the corridor from afar. Xueyan walked over and plucked the strings a few times. It was indeed a good guqin. She simply sat down and played it. The melodious melody flowed out of her fingers like a stream of clear springs, and she felt a sense of peace in her heart. Xueyan's originally panicked mood gradually calmed down. Several maids could hear it and did not disturb her.
"What a beautiful song." After the song was over, Xueyan saw Ji Xian's distance
After walking over, his handsome face always had a gentle smile.
"Prince." Xueyan huddled her skirt and bowed, and the maid beside her bowed tactfully.
Ji Xian helped Xue Yan up. "There is no prince among friends, call me Ji Xian."
Xueyan hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "There are still rules."
"From childhood to adulthood, everyone respects me as the prince and the emperor's son, smiles at me and obeys me, but I have not met a person who truly understands me. They approach me, either seek fame and fortune, or wealth. No one will be willing to be with me for a lifetime of freedom." Ji Xian turned his head and looked at Xueyan. "Until I met you in the mountains, your piano sound was naturally purity, as if the sound of nature did not cause dust. I think only those with a clear mind could stroke such a clean song, and you are such a person."
"You don't understand me, how could you know what kind of person I am? Just a song, you treat me sincerely. Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Xueyan looked at his sincere eyes and couldn't help but exclaim the doubts in her heart, but she became even more nervous. She was very conflicted and didn't want to harm him, but she had to protect Xiaoqi and Xiaochen.
"I know the master after reading the sword, and I understand the person when I hear the music." Ji Xian turned his head and looked at Xueyan. "I have loved music since I was a child. I accidentally heard your piano sound that day, and I knew what kind of person you were. Your piano sound naturally revealed your feelings. You are a innocent and kind girl, and the girl I recognized in this life."
Xueyan lowered her head. She didn't understand the so-called love at first sight in the world, but she knew that the person she loved was Hantian, the Hantian that had been sealed by her own hands on Bihua Mountain.
Ji Xian picked a leaf from the tree, walked to the water pavilion in front, put it to the mouth, and blew the song that Xueyan had been half-stroking when she first met that day. Xueyan was shocked, but she just listened it and it took so long that he actually remembered it.
Xueyan walked to him and listened quietly. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed a soft golden color on the entire palace. The two stood by the water, watching the sunset in the sky sinking, silently.
Xueyan, even though she knew that this love would change, she hoped that the scenery would last longer. This is love, even if you can be by my side for a moment, it is still happiness.
The scene in front of you is like a loving partner. The sunset is setting and you are dependent on each other, but why do people always deceive themselves, deceive others, and be deceived?
At the turn of the corridor, a man stood there alone, taking in all this, Hua Ruoxi.
"Xueyan, since you treat me like this, don't blame me for not caring about my fellow disciples for many years." Hua Ruoxi clenched her fists secretly. "I want to kill you with my own hands!"
So many days have passed, but Xu Jin still has no news. Xueyan waited anxiously, but Xu Jin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. He has not seen him again since that day. Xueyan took Caier to wander aimlessly in Jizhou City and stopped at the door of the National Master's Mansion. Xueyan thought whether it was Mr. Wu who already knew their plan, so Xu Jin would be in danger.
"Miss Xueyan, are you going to the National Master Mansion?" Caier saw Xueyan staring at the gate of the National Master Mansion in a daze, and walked over and asked softly.
Xueyan came to her senses, shook her head, and asked back: "Do you know where General Ye Fengye's mansion is?"
"I know, the girl is going?"
"Yeah." Xueyan nodded.
"Follow me." Xueyan followed Caier to the gate of the general's mansion. Caier was about to walk over, but Xueyan hurriedly grabbed Caier and hid at the corner of the street.
"The guards at the door were sent by Master Wu, right?" Xueyan looked at the gate in the distance, and teams of guards were patrolling continuously, guarding tightly.
Caier looked at it. "Yes, Master Wu and General Ye have always been disagreement. It is said that because General Ye dereliction of duty, Master Wu just seized the opportunity and contacted the trustees in the court. He studied General Ye hard, saying that he was proud of his merits and wanted to cause trouble. However, because General Ye made outstanding achievements and was deeply loved in the army, the emperor always valued him, so he was only imprisoned and never convicted..."
"Does the emperor today believe in what Master Wu said so much?" Xueyan was a little angry. Such sinister and vicious people would be valued. It is really unfair to the world.
"I don't know this, but the current queen is the younger sister of Master Wu. The emperor ascended the throne and received help from Master Wu. It is said that the Wu Kingdom is the younger brother of Master Wu.
The master has great supernatural powers and is deeply trusted by Emperor Ji Ren." Caier thought for a while and said, "Since our prince returned to Jizhou, he has been trying every means to please the prince, but our prince doesn't seem to like him."
Caier saw Xueyan lowering her head and pondering, thinking that she was thinking about how to enter the General's Mansion, so she smiled and took out a golden waist sign for Xueyan to show. "Miss Xueyan doesn't have to worry. The prince has an order. Miss Xueyan can go anywhere. With the token of my Xianwang Mansion, no one dares to stop her even if she enters the palace."
Xueyan turned around and knew that Cai'er had misunderstood, so she patted her shoulder and whispered, "You wait for me here, I'll go back." After that, she turned around and walked around behind the General's Mansion, leaving Cai'er standing alone on the corner of the street, unable to figure out her mind.
Xueyan looked around and jumped to Ye Feng's mansion. This was the backyard of the General's mansion. The guards were slackened, but there were still guards walking frequently. Xueyan hid behind the tree and didn't know how to get close to the main hall. It was not difficult to get in. After all, she was a demon, but these people were innocent. It was not easy to get in without knowing it.
Xueyan walked around the back of the main hall, and the window was covered with a false window. As soon as he opened the window, the sword edge pressed against Xueyan's left back.
"Shh..." Xueyan turned her head and put her index finger on her mouth, signaling him not to disturb the people outside.
"Why are you here?" Ye Feng saw that it was Xueyan, and came in, turned around and put away the sword, with a little joy in his eyes.
"I don't want to worry about you, so let's take a look." Xueyan closed the window quietly. She was really worried that Ye Feng would stay here again. Master Wu was scheming and could do everything. Now Ye Feng was like standing on the tip of a knife. "Master Wu falsely accused you of rebellion and tried every means to harm you. You might as well leave here."
"I am open and honest, so I can't leave." Ye Feng smiled slightly. "If I leave for no reason, doesn't it mean that I really want to rebel?"
"But Master Wu is so vicious, and now he is trying his best to kill you!" Master Wu's method Xueyan has seen it, and she looked at Ye Feng worriedly. "It's too dangerous for you to stay here."
Ye Feng stood up and walked to Xueyan. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"But if the emperor really listened to Master Wu's lies, you would be in danger!" Xueyan said anxiously. Master Wu regarded human life as a mustard. She had lost Liu'er and did not want to lose Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng sighed long. "I know that the emperor refused to issue an order to kill me. Master Wu has long been unable to stand his temper. People often sneak into the mansion these days and try every means to kill me, so I am always on guard."
"Then you haven't left yet?" Xueyan was very anxious. Her senior brother had lost his immortal power. How could he resist the witchcraft of Master Wu?
"If I leave, Master Wu will rebel. The war to seize power will destroy many families." Ye Feng was melancholy, and his eyes were filled with a faint sadness. "I am here, and the army of the State of Ji is here, Master Wu will not dare to act rashly, and the people can live a stable life."
Xueyan looked at him and stopped talking. Ye Feng was still as concerned about the world as before. His eyes were about the welfare of all living beings in the three realms. It was not Master Wu, but his heart that compassionately compassionate to the people.
"Don't worry, as long as the soldiers of Ji Country still obey my orders, Master Wu will not dare to do anything to me." Ye Feng turned around, brushed away the worries on Xueyan's face, leaned over and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "When the world returns to peace, I will take you out of here. I will accompany you wherever you want to go. We will never be separated like before, okay?"
Xueyan didn't answer and was secretly sad. She couldn't go back to everything. After experiencing so many things, who could still go back to that innocent age?
