Your Majesty has been secretly in love with me for many years

On the avenue from the palace to the gate of the outer palace, Lin Huai'en was holding the memorials in his arms, and walked out without stopping. He happened to meet a long line of envoys from the seven kingdoms of the Western Regions.

Lin Huai'en didn't have time to stay, so he could only nod slightly to the messengers and greet them politely.Just as they passed by, a man with purple eyes suddenly came out and stood in front of him.Lin Huai'en didn't guard against one, and dropped all the memorials.

Lin Huai'en glared at the purple-eyed man anxiously.But there was a triumphant smile on the corner of the man's mouth, "Master Lin and I are old acquaintances. We met again after so many years. Why don't we even bother to say a word?"

Lin Huai'en didn't make a sound, but bent down to pick up the memorial.The purple-eyed man also helped him pick it up. On the way to pick it up, he even opened the memorial without authorization, but was snatched away by the angry Lin Huai'en.

This purple-eyed man is the eldest prince of the Loulan Kingdom, Zi Wuye.Eight years ago, Lin Huai'en followed the crowned Emperor Shaoze to the border land, which was only a hundred miles away from Loulan Kingdom.

During the exchanges between the two countries, Zi Wuye fell in love with Lin Huai'en, who was only eighteen years old, and ran to Di Shaoze to ask for it. However, not long after that, he was exposed to the scandal of Ye Yu's Seventh Daughter, and was arrested by his father. Wang was restrained and disciplined for seven months.

"Lord Lin, do you still remember the past? Eight years ago, Di Shaoze was granted a fiefdom by the current Supreme Emperor, cutting off the hope of becoming emperor. You and him huddled in the barren fief next to our country, like two poor ants Let others knead."

"In that case, it should have been easy for me to ask Di Shaoze to ask you to be my concubine. But the moment I spoke, Di Shaoze's eyes were as terrifying as if an evil spirit had floated into the world. I was afraid from the bottom of my heart. Then, my life was suddenly filled with gloom, I was rejected by my father, ridiculed by the people, and completely reduced to the laughing stock of the whole country."

Lin Huai'en continued to hold the memorial, and said coldly: "You deserve it! Do you understand me! Get out of the way."

Zi Wuye curled his lips and tail, and deliberately pretended to be "scared", and folded his arms, "Master Lin looks so fierce. If I can put this look in front of Di Shaoze one day, I will definitely I'm so excited I can't sleep!"

"Is it fun to tease me? Get out of the way!" Lin Huai'en flattened his mouth in disgust, unwilling to waste any more time with him, bumped him away, and continued to hurry towards the palace gate.

Staring at Lin Huai'en's back, and with the same attitude of loathing himself as before, the purple-eyed man's smile gradually stopped, his thin lips were tightly pursed, showing a sense of depression and unwillingness...

After Lin Huai'en got in the carriage, he first went to the General's Mansion to find out about the situation with the housekeeper, and then combined with the names and statements on the memorial, he finally determined that Xue Dingchu had suffered a collective ostracism.

The source lies in the neighbors of the general's mansion, those children of the royal family who are in collusion.They failed to pull Xue Dingchu into the group, they reversed their attitude in anger and wanted to push Xue Dingchu out of the royal city.

And Xue Dingchu was silent by nature, even if he was injured, he would not say a word. Lin Huai'en had to dig out his wound with his own hands to know these things.

Lin Huai'en rubbed his troubled brows, "In that case, why didn't you come and tell me earlier?"

The butler replied: "The general knew you were busy with your marriage, so he told me not to tell you."

Lin Huai'en knew it in his heart, he knew that Xue Dingchu never liked to cause trouble for others.And he was busy with his marriage during this time, so he really couldn't take care of his affairs in the first place.

Moreover, if he hadn't happened to meet Luo Taiwei today, maybe after he was busy with his marriage and looked back, Xue Dingchu would have been forced to marry or be relegated...

There was a sound of horseshoes outside the mansion gate.

Afterwards, Xue Dingchu, with a handsome face, held his official hat in one hand, stepped into the door, and met Lin Huai'en, with his eyes slightly bent, revealing his usual gentleness and calmness.

Xue Dingchu opened his mouth first, "my colleague told me everything. I have invited myself to go to the border, and I will leave soon. Wynn, don't worry about me. "

God gave Xue Dingchu two paths——

Or, marry the daughter of the Luo family, turn the tide against the wind, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the rest of your life;

Or, be demoted back to the frontier and continue to be a lieutenant who guards the territory day and night.

And Xue Dingchu has chosen the latter path for himself.

This road may not have a paved official career and a stable life, but it does not need to marry a woman he does not love, nor does it need to cut off the last possibility with Lin Huai'en.

Lin Huai'en's eyes turned red immediately, and he began to blame himself, "Dingchu, blame me for only caring about my marriage and not taking good care of you during this time."

Xue Dingchu said with a smile: "Wynn, you have done enough for me."

Xue Dingchu showed a very faint and warm smile, but Lin Huai'en couldn't stop crying, as if he wanted to vent all the sadness, depression and reluctance in his chest and lungs.

If he had found out earlier, Xue Dingchu would not have to suffer from this.

In the evening, Lin Huai'en stayed and had dinner in the general's mansion.This meal, Lin Huai'en was so upset that he couldn't chew what was in his mouth.

After dinner, Xue Dingchu sent Lin Huai'en all the way home, only two steps away from him.Because of the positions one behind the other, Xue Dingchu stared at Lin Huai'en's familiar back with his own eyes, and was gradually covered with a layer of misty moonlight, as if it was about to become unreal.

Some things, if you don't say it now, you won't have a chance to say it again.

Xue Dingchu stood still and pretended to be calm all day long, but it was finally broken at the last moment.Xue Dingchu lowered his head, opened his sleeves, and asked, "Wynn, do you remember this rope?"

Lin Huai'en turned his head, followed the words and stared at Xue Dingchu's red rope, and found the damaged red rope.

Xue Dingchu slowly narrated the past, "I still remember when I was eight years old, my mother ran away with the wild man, and my father hated her for starting and ending, so he always beat me, and I was bruised all over my body. My temper became more and more boring, less and less pleasing, and no one wanted to play with me. At that time, my life was only being beaten and working."

"Until you appeared, my gloomy life had bright colors. Since then, you are the only one left in my eyes."

"Later, when you were 16 years old, you went to a distant capital city to pursue your own ideals, and you said you would have to wait for several years before you could come back. I sent you all the way to the entrance of the village, and when it was time to say goodbye, I couldn't let go. Hold on to you without saying a word."

Lin Huai'en's eyes trembled slightly, and he remembered - at that time, he discovered Xue Dingchu's reluctance, so he groped all over his body, and passed the red rope on his wrist to Xue Dingchu through his tightly grasping hands.

Lin Huai'en said like this - "This is the marriage rope I begged from Yuelao Temple."With it, I will not be separated from you. '

At that time, although Lin Huai'en was a little bit reluctant to part with his red rope, the meaning of the red rope was that he would never be separated from another person, and it could be used to hold his friendship.

With the red rope, Xue Dingchu was finally willing to let go, and solemnly swore: "No matter how far you go, I will find you."

Later, Xue Dingchu came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and finally reached the position where he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Huai'en. He wanted to ask him softly, "Do you remember this rope back then?" "You and I are really not separated".

But he was late.
