"He's fine."

Bai Ze tried hard to open his eyes, trying to see the figure in front of him clearly, who was talking?

Is Ji Xuan all right?

He felt so tired that he couldn't wake up completely, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

But this time, he slept very peacefully, as if he was in a warm bed. Someone washed him, applied medicine, and put on clean clothes.There was no beating and torture, and the injury was finally relieved.

A few days later, Bai Ze woke up.

He wanted to move, but accidentally fell off the bed with a 'plop', grinning in pain.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged eunuch came quickly and helped him back, "You are finally awake, lie down and don't move around."

Bai Ze stared blankly at the person in front of him, his voice hesitated, "Master?"

Xu Yan smiled, "It's me."

Bai Ze finally came to his senses, he lowered his head abruptly, with a look of shame on his face, for his master saw him in such a mess, "You, you already know?"

Xu Yan nodded, "I know everything."

Bai Ze was silent for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to look into Xu Yan's eyes, "Are you blaming me?"

No wonder he thinks this way, Xu Xuan is the person left to him by Ji Xuan's mother and has always been loyal to Ji Xuan. If he knows his identity and his thoughts on Ji Xuan, he will probably despise and hate him, right?

How could he hide his thoughts from Xu Yan's eyes, Xu Yan couldn't help but sighed, "How could I blame you, don't think wildly."

Bai Ze didn't know Xu Yan's true thoughts, but his tolerance did ease some of Bai Ze's embarrassment and discomfort.

"Your Majesty, how is he?" Bai Ze was most concerned about this question, "It's all because of me."

Xu Yan shook his head, "It's not your fault. Don't worry, he's fine."

"Then can I go and see him?" Bai Ze asked.

"Not yet."

Bai Ze frowned when he heard this, if Ji Xuan was really fine, why didn't he show up for so long, he is the king of a country after all, this might make everyone uneasy, the court would be in turmoil, right?Could it be that Xu Yan just comforted him?

"I told you not to think about it, the emperor is fine, but it's not convenient to see you now. Take care of your wounds and wait at ease." Xu Yan smiled, "You look like this, the emperor came out to see you, but he will blame me for not being able to take care of you. You You won't have the heart to embarrass Master, will you?"

Bai Ze smiled embarrassedly and nodded.

Xu Yan gave a few more instructions, turned around and concealed the smile on his face. It's not easy to recover from such an injury, but it's just words of comfort, not to mention...

After Xu Yan came back, Empress Cui's person never appeared again.

Every day, doctors came to diagnose and treat Bai Ze on time, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials came in like a stream.Bai Ze's injury is gradually healing, although ugly scars are left... But the injury to the viscera is more embarrassing, and he still occasionally coughs up blood.

Although he couldn't see Ji Xuan, the appearance of Xu Xuan reassured Bai Ze.So wait patiently.

One day Xu Yan came over again and asked Bai Ze, "Your mother is very worried about you and wants to see you."

In fact, Bai Ze also wanted to see Mrs. Ye, but he touched the wound on his face, and said: "I don't see you for now, as long as she is well."

If Mrs. Ye saw him like this, she wouldn't know how sad she would be.

Xu Xuan nodded in agreement.

……

Xu Yan was dressed in a black hood, covering his face, and quietly left the palace.

Coming to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum again, he took a deep breath and walked slowly down the bottomless steps.

The Imperial Tomb of the Ji Clan has always been the most mysterious existence. Various legends have been passed down in the world, but no one has ever known where it is.It is only possible to know the day when Ji's blood becomes the emperor.

There is a maze at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, and it is impossible for others to walk in.

The steps go hundreds of meters deep into the ground.

There is a hole in the ground, the ground is as crystal as white jade, and the sky is as bright as stars, like another world.

When Xu Xuan came over, he saw Ji Xuan sitting cross-legged on the ground, motionless.

He stood gently beside Ji Xuan, and after a while, Ji Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his left eye was as black as ink, but his right eye was pale gold, when he looked carefully, there was a golden light flowing, unlike ordinary people .

Xu Yanrao had been prepared for a long time, and he was still very surprised to see him again. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

"Is he okay?" Ji Xuan asked.

"I suffered some injuries, but luckily my life is safe." Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Cui Ruyuan?" Ji Xuan's voice was a bit cold, Cui Ruyuan was the name of Empress Cui.

Xu Yan nodded, and said again: "You haven't shown up for a long time, and many people outside have become suspicious. Although the courtiers headed by Cui Ge have not taken any action for the time being, some restless people have already begun to appear. She In doing so, I am afraid that there is also a factor of temptation.”

"It's just a clown." Ji Xuan said coldly, "I didn't intend to control them, but I want to court death."

Xu Yan looked worried. "I'm afraid this will go on..."

Ji Xuan suddenly raised his hand to stop Xu Xuan's words, with a painful look on his face, and his brows were tightly frowned.It took a while before he regained his composure, and his expression stretched out again.

"These are insignificant." Ji Xuan said, with an indescribable indifference in his tone.

His left eye is as calm as an abyss, his right eye is shining with gold, and he is as arrogant and indifferent as a god. The two unique temperaments are mixed together, and even Xu Yan is secretly startled.

"The Ji family has been passed down for thousands of years. It's not that there are natural and man-made disasters, but no one can shake the foundation of the Ji family." Ji Xuan smiled slightly, "I know it well."

So Xu Yan stopped persuading him and said instead: "He was very worried about you, and kept asking me about you, but I was perfunctory. I just told him that you were fine. It can be seen that he blamed himself..."

A trace of tenderness appeared in Ji Xuan's eyes, "Really? Still so stupid."

"You protect him well." Ji Xuan said to Xu Yan, "In a few days, I think I will be able to go out."

If you can use that power, mere poisons are nothing, it's a pity...

After speaking, he closed his eyes again and sat cross-legged.

Xu Yan took a few steps back, then turned around and left quickly.

……

Bai Ze was a little skeptical at first, but seeing Xu Yan's composure, he finally felt relieved.If Ji Xuan is really dying, it is impossible for Xu Xuan to spend time here to take care of him.Since Ji Xuan is fine, Bai Ze is not in a hurry to see him.

After the medicine was delivered that day, he said to the maid who combed his hair: "Bring me the mirror."

The maid smiled, "What do you want the mirror for? Do you doubt the craftsmanship of the servant?"

"I just want to see." Bai Ze said.

"The previous one was broken, why don't you give the young master a new one tomorrow." The maid smiled flatteringly.

Bai Ze's face darkened, "Bring it here."

The maid's smile froze.

In the stalemate, Xu Yan pushed the door in and said, "Go and get it."

The maid ran out quickly as if she had been pardoned.

Bai Ze smiled at Xu Yan, "Master, you don't have to be like this, manly man, what are you afraid of if your appearance is damaged." The wound on his face can be felt.

"Yes, Master was wrong." Xu Yan smiled, and handed the mirror brought by the maid to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze looked intently, and saw six or seven wounds criss-crossing on the right side of his face, including welt marks and knife wounds.The wound was deep, and even after cultivation, the turned flesh and blood were still terrifying.

He put down the mirror with a calm expression and said, "Is there a way to cover it up?"

Xu Yan thought for a while, and said, "It's impossible to not see it at all, but it should be possible to lighten it."

That night, Xu Yan brought two people over.

A man and a woman, the man is good at disguise, and the woman is good at makeup.

The two tossed about Bai Ze for a long time, first they smeared their faces, and then combed their hair again, with one side hanging down to cover half of their face, so if you don't look carefully, you will hardly notice the sudden scars on your face .

"Are you satisfied?" Xu Yan asked with a smile.

"Thank you." Bai Ze looked at it carefully and nodded, that's all.It suddenly occurred to him that if only he had the ever-changing ability of Cui Qian, this injury would be nothing at all.

"She must be very worried because she hasn't seen you for so long. I arranged for someone to bring her over." Xu Yan smiled again.

Bai Ze looked at him gratefully, the master was always so considerate and delicate, he didn't say anything, but he had already thought about it.

If it wasn't because of Mrs. Ye, how could I care about this injury?

After a long time, Bai Ze saw Ye Shi again. She looked obviously haggard, because she couldn't sleep at night, her eyes were deep blue, and her plump cheeks sank again.

Bai Ze was very distressed: "Mom, you haven't had a good rest, so don't worry."

"Mother is fine." Ye's expression was a little dazed, she looked at Bai Ze fixedly, "Mother is just afraid that I will never see you again..."

"Mother..." Bai Ze called out, and smiled: "You're thinking too much, I didn't poison you, Ji Xuan knows in his heart that he won't do anything to me."

These words did not alleviate Ye Shi's worries. She stretched out her hand and caressed Bai Ze's face, "Did you know, child? You and him...some things cannot be changed."

Bai Ze lowered his eyes, of course he knew this, so he never expected too much from Ji Xuan.

But Mrs. Ye shook her head, "You don't understand, you and him are destined to only live as one."

"Mother has been very worried about the arrival of this day, every day and every night... always afraid that one day when she wakes up, everything will go back to the beginning of the nightmare. This period of time is something that mother did not even dare to think about before. Mother is already very happy gone."

"You once said that Mother didn't abandon you, everything is as you imagined, you are very satisfied."

"Actually, it's the same with my mother. My whole life, I have been living for others. I have stained my hands with the blood of innocent people, and I have used all means to achieve my goals. But my mother still found you, and you didn't resent my mother, and you didn't leave... You are here with mother, mother is already very satisfied."

"People can't be too greedy, greed will only harm others and themselves."

Bai Ze held Ye Shi's hand and forced a smile: "Mother, don't think about it, I'm really fine. In this way, he didn't kill me, what's the matter of life and death... I didn't care about his seat at all, Ji Xuan was very clear."

"But you are his brother after all." Ye Shi looked deeply at Bai Ze.

"But I don't pose any threat to him, we all know that very well." Bai Ze's voice was decisive, there was no need to bring up this topic at all.Besides, after changing bodies so many times, it's hard to say.

Ye Shi smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Okay, mother knows."

Only then did Bai Ze heave a sigh of relief, it seemed that this matter still frightened her, that's why she was thinking so wildly.

"Ze'er, look, this is the pouch my mother embroidered for you." Mrs. Ye took out a blue pouch with fine stitches, stroked it lightly, with a kind smile on her face, "I wanted to make a dress, But I was afraid that it would not be suitable, and my mother's eyesight is not very good now, so I only made a purse."

Bai Ze took it over, "I like it very much." He was really happy, because his mother embroidered it for him.

Yeh showed him a smile.

"Ze'er, you have to remember that whenever and wherever, Mother's greatest wish is for you to be happy and free."
