Chapter 537: Change of Temperament
When Ji Man heard the butler report that the immortal Wei had woken up, he was overjoyed and wanted to go and see him immediately.
The butler followed Ji Man and said, "The king has summoned you. Why don't you wait until you see the king before going over?"
Ji Man shook his head, "There's still time. I'll go take a look."
The housekeeper reported hesitantly in a low voice, "According to the servants' report, the Immortal Master Wei seems to be different from before, and his temperament has changed drastically. Xiao Dezi, who is guarding Xihua Garden, reported that he was almost strangled to death because he called him Immortal Master, which made him unhappy. He changed his name and was let go."
Ji Man paused, "Is this true?"
The butler nodded, "Absolutely true."
Ji Man was puzzled and asked, "Where is Miss Jiang?"
"I didn't see Miss Jiang."
Ji Man nodded, "I understand. Come with me to take a look."
The butler was a little worried, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words later, don't make that person unhappy. We can never afford to offend people from the Immortal Sect."
Ji Man nodded, "I know."
Not only can the immortals not afford to offend him, the human world has the lowest status among the four worlds, and the other demons and ghosts cannot afford to offend him either. In the past, there was the Feng family, and the national master protected the country and the human world. Now the national master has caused chaos and disappeared in Yunshan City. He has never returned to the court, and the Feng family has not sent anyone to protect him. Now it can be said that there is no one to protect the human world.
My father has also been worried about this matter recently. I don’t know whether the Feng family will send another person or completely give up protecting the human world. It is still unknown.
He soon arrived at Xihua Garden, and the guards and servants at the gate all greeted him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Ji Man waved his hand, "Quiet."
The guards and servants all stepped back and remained silent.
Ji Man entered Xihua Garden and saw the door was open. A young man in black was sitting in the hall with a book in his hand. He couldn't tell what the book was, but his posture, as he flipped through it casually, looked nonchalant.
When she heard him coming, she didn't even raise her head.
Ji Man noticed the difference in an instant. This immortal used to wear red clothes. Although he didn't talk much and treated people with aloofness, he was kind. But now, this person was still the Immortal Wei, but it seemed that he was no longer the same. He was dressed in black with gold embroidery. He recognized that they were specially made clothes by the Imperial Clothing Bureau. In the human world, imperial tribute is already excellent, but in the eyes of the immortals, it is naturally very ordinary. But such ordinary clothes, when worn on him, are gorgeous and eye-catching, unfathomable from a distance and difficult to approach from close.
His breathing became lighter. He stood ten feet outside the door and bowed, "Master Wei."
As the crown prince of a country, he would naturally not make the same mistake again as the little servant.
Wei Qinglan said "hmm" but still didn't raise his head. He didn't have the slightest sense of being a guest, nor did he have the feeling that the host had arrived and he, as a guest, should stand up to greet him. He just said lazily, "What's the matter?"
Ji Man became more cautious, "I heard that the young master woke up, so I came to see him. Does the young master have any instructions?"
Wei Qinglan turned a page of the book and replied lazily, "No."
Ji Man didn't see Jiang Lisheng, so he asked tentatively, "Is Miss Jiang okay?"
Wei Qinglan finally turned around, put down the book, stood up, walked to the door, stood tall on the steps, looked down at Ji Man, "Are you worried about her?"
Ji Man was stunned, but soon reacted and answered carefully: "Last night, Miss Jiang suddenly brought you to my East Palace. Miss Jiang looked very miserable at that time, and you, Master Wei, looked even worse, dying. I asked for the imperial physician, but Miss Jiang said that the imperial physician was useless and could not save you. She would save you herself and no one was allowed to disturb you. So I did not dare to stay and disturb Miss Jiang. Now that you have woken up and Miss Jiang is not there, I am asking this question. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Master Wei."
Wei Qinglan listened to his long speech expressionlessly and looked at him for a moment. It was not until Ji Man was worried that he had said something wrong or inappropriate that he said, "She is fine and alive."
Ji Man was shocked. What does it mean to be alive?
Without waiting for him to ask again, Wei Qinglan waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
After saying that, he went back to the room, waved his hand and closed the door, blocking Ji Man's sight.
Ji Man stood there, and intuitively felt that Wei Qinglan was different from the last time. He didn't know what great changes had happened to make a person change so drastically. And what about Miss Jiang? He came here, but didn't see her. He couldn't help but worry. Is she okay?
The butler stood half a step behind Ji Man, tugged at the prince's sleeve, and signaled him to leave quickly. He felt that this young master Wei now looked mysterious and unpredictable, and he was afraid that if the prince offended him, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
Even though this is his East Palace and their territory, this man looks too dangerous now.
It is said that animals are sensitive, but humans are sometimes more sensitive, especially the slaves who live around the imperial power. The slave mentality ingrained in them since childhood makes them more aware that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. They are also more sensitive to when someone is dangerous and must not be touched or provoked.
Ji Man naturally sensed that Wei Qinglan was in danger. He was the crown prince of a country, not a naive person. He stood still for a moment, then turned and walked out.
The butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely.
After leaving Xihua Garden, Ji Man ordered, "If Miss Jiang wakes up, let me know immediately."
The butler responded, "Don't worry, the servants will report it immediately."
Ji Man took a carriage and went to the palace.
Inside the palace, Zhou Wang Ji Xia paced back and forth in his study, occasionally glancing at the clock, frowning, "Why hasn't the crown prince come yet?"
The chief eunuch Fulu said quickly, "Your Majesty, please be patient. His Royal Highness may have been delayed by something. It won't take long for the message to be delivered."
The King of Zhou could only suppress his anxious heart.
Ji Man arrived at the palace. As soon as he reached the door of the study, Fulu came out and said, "Your Highness, the King has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!"
Ji Man nodded, entered the study, and paid his respects to King Zhou.
King Zhou waved away his attendants and looked at him, "What happened in the East Palace last night? Why was there such a loud noise? I heard that the last time the two immortals from the Immortal Sect came, they made quite a commotion when they descended on the East Palace. Why is your East Palace on high alert now? Are there more people from the Immortal Sect coming?"
Ji Man nodded. The affairs of the Eastern Palace could not be hidden from his father. If he wanted to suppress the news, he had to get his father's cooperation. "It was those two. Now they have come to my Eastern Palace again. However, this time they came for refuge, unlike the last time. They told me that it would be best not to spread the news of them in my Eastern Palace, so as to avoid trouble."
King Zhou opened his eyes wide, "Are they really them?"
Ji Man nodded.
King Zhou was puzzled, "Why do you want to seek refuge?"
Ji Man shook his head and told the story of Jiang Lisheng and Wei Qinglan falling into the East Palace in a miserable state last night. He also mentioned that Wei Qinglan's temperament had changed drastically.
After listening to this, King Zhou thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's do as Miss Jiang said and ask her when she wakes up. As for that Master Wei, it's best not to offend him."
