Late at night, two visiting envoys came to Prince Yan's Mansion. One of them was a thin, fair-faced, and extremely elegant person. He was Yue Yuanting, the Right Chancellor of Yan Kingdom. The other person was plainly dressed and inconspicuous, with a thick black beard covering most of his face. He looked powerful, and he turned out to be the military General Han Xiaoyun in disguise.

The two of them walked into the room and saw Ji Fan sitting behind the desk. They couldn't help but be overjoyed with excitement. They immediately went forward and knelt down to greet: "We'd like to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yue Yuanting and Han Xiaoyun were both pillars of the Yan Kingdom, serving together under the Queen Mother, so Ji Fan treated each other with courtesy. He left his seat from behind the desk and personally helped the two of them up from the ground: "You two gentlemen, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down."

Han Xiaoyun looked at Ji Fan, whose youthful aura had long faded from his face. His face was full of shame. He hesitated to speak. After a long silence, he finally sighed and uttered a sentence: "It has been seven years since we said goodbye to Yan. Your Highness has suffered... "

When the City of Changling was defeated, it was Emperor Yan who was eager for success, but all the blame fell on a young man. When Han Xiaoyun personally sent Ji Fan out of Yan, he was only eighteen years old. He was thin in white clothes, shackled, and not strong enough, so he just shouldered the crime of the country.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. Spanning thousands of days and nights of torture.

Han Xiaoyun can no longer remember what Ji Fan looked like back then. He only remembers that he did not cry or got upset when he accepted the order, he was extremely calm, and his back was straight in the court. Although the appearance of Ji Fan in front of him has not changed greatly, his behavior is impeccable and his smile has become an unpredictable deep pool.

Many things are different and people changed.

When Ji Fan heard Han Xiaoyun mention the past events, he paused slightly and smiled: "General, you have a good memory. It turns out it has been seven years. At that time, I only felt that the days were like years. Looking back now, it was only a blink of an eye."

He turned around and sat down behind the desk, raising his hand to signal: "Gentlemen, please take a seat."

There is a screen next to him, and behind the screen is the couch. The curtain fell quietly, covering the person lying on the bed. Rong Xuan deliberately concealed his breathing and hid inside to eavesdrop on their conversation. Of course, it was with Ji Fan's permission.

Han Xiaoyun looked around: "Your Highness, why don't I see Fengchen?"

Ji Fan: "He is in the Princess's Mansion, and there are many people there, so he is not allowed to come over."

Han Xiaoyun also knew about Yan Fengchen's marriage to the princess. Hearing this, he sighed and nodded, saying nothing more.

Right Chancellor Yue Yuanting cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, in the past few months, the ministers have sent several memorials to Emperor Zhou on the orders of the Queen Mother, hoping to fulfill the seven-year promise to welcome you back to Yan, but they have been rejected in every possible way. Now that Our Emperor is seriously ill and has not woken up for many days, the three princes were ordered to supervise the country and work on their own affairs with the Queen Mother. This time when this minister and General Han entered Zhou Kingdom, they will definitely obey the Queen Mother's death order and must ensure to escort His Highness back to Yan. Otherwise, once His Majesty dies and the third prince ascends the throne with some pretext, it will be difficult for Your Highness to make a comeback!"
