Ah Jing was very worried about Lin Huiye's death.What he is worried about is not the rise and fall of the country, but his general.

Ah Jing has never forgotten the appearance of Liu Rui in the early morning when Lin Huiye was found to have died of illness.He still remembered that early in the morning, his lord general was wearing an official uniform and sitting beside Lin Huiye's sick bed like that, no matter how warm the sun was, it couldn't stop her disillusioned loneliness.Ah Jing felt that Liu Rui's appearance was like waking up from a dream, leaving a lot of shattered marks.

"Come here, call the imperial doctor." Liu Rui didn't know how long he had been sitting there before he asked such a sentence calmly.

"My lord general...the imperial doctor just came to see you...Your Majesty, she...she..." the maid Lian'er said with red eyes. "She has..."

"It's...really." Liu Rui murmured, but her voice trembled a little. Lian'er felt that she wanted to cry, but finally she didn't.Ah Jing saw her flatten the corners of her mouth, showing a strange expression and said. "Have you been diagnosed?"

"Yes..." Lian Er nodded.

"Okay...ok...you'll be fine after the diagnosis..." Liu Rui repeated the word and then stood up and walked out the door, but found that the sun outside the palace gate was dazzling, and he didn't know where to go for a while.

The emperor's burial was far more complicated than ordinary people's. For several days, Liu Rui hardly closed his eyes as he was busy with everything.Ah Jing couldn't stand it, and only said to let her rest, but she comforted Ah Jing instead, saying that she was very energetic and couldn't sleep, which made Ah Jing feel terrified, and had to pray that her general was okay.I don't know if God heard Ah Jing's prayer, but Liu Rui's health was better than expected, and he didn't fall down until Lin Huiye was buried.

On the day of the burial, it was raining and misty, and Liu Rui stood alone at the outskirts of the royal tomb, watching the vast crowd enter the imperial tomb with Lin Huiye's plain white and gilded coffin.She saw that the gate of the Imperial Mausoleum was open, like a gigantic beast with its head raised and roaring.

"Hui Ye...!" Liu Rui was startled, she stretched out her hand to snatch Lin Huiye from the giant beast's mouth, but found that the man was so far away from her, as if separated by a world.

The rain and fog grew bigger and bigger in Liu Rui's turbulent state of mind. She just stood in the rain until she could no longer see Lin Huiye's coffin, and then she realized that her eyes were red.

"Hui Ye... Do you know, looking at your mausoleum right now, I can only think of your few smiles." As Liu Rui said, he also showed a smile.It's just that the smile is bitter, filled with endless madness. "If there is an afterlife, don't go looking for Zhao Minghe anymore, just come to me."

"I will be you, the warmest sunshine."

She said so firmly, but finally burst into tears in the heavy rain.

"General... General! Where are you going??" Just a month after Liu Rui was depressed, Ah Jing saw her walking out of the house with her luggage on her shoulders.

"Go home." Liu Rui replied relaxedly.

"Go back...to what house?" The answer he got was so sudden that Ah Jing couldn't digest it for a while.

"Fool, of course it's my own home." Liu Rui said seriously after hearing this. "My mother said, when I have nowhere to go, I will go back. She cooks delicious food for me."

"How come there is nowhere to go? This is the General's Mansion, in the future you..."

"Me?" Liu Rui raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty is dead...a strong enemy is outside...if you leave, general...you don't know what will happen to this court." A Jing said worriedly. "Your Majesty has no children... There are no siblings around... I'm afraid the Pan Dynasty is about to perish... Everyone is waiting for you..."

"What are you waiting for me?" Liu Rui said indifferently as if he understood what A Jing meant.

"Wait for you...to call..."

proclaim oneself emperor.

Ah Jing only felt that his throat was dry when he said this sentence, and he finally didn't dare to finish.

"Perhaps I came to the court before so that my parents could have a better life." Liu Rui stood where he was for a while, then suddenly said. "But I seem to have forgotten the original purpose of following Kaguya in the past few years. I don't know when, only her shadow is left in my eyes, led by her every move, and I do everything...just for her May be happy and at ease.”

Ah Jing looked at Liu Rui without blinking, only to find that her eyes were red again.

"But in the end, I didn't do anything after all."

"Why didn't you do anything?" Ah Jing couldn't see Liu Rui crying, so he said. "You bravely stood in her darkness, accompanied her, and gave her countless warmth, didn't you? Without the general, His Majesty would not be able to wait for Zhao Minghe at all."

"You mean, I also made her happy?" Liu Rui said, crying unconsciously.

"Of course." Ah Jing said seriously. "Even if His Majesty lost his mind and became bloodthirsty in the end, and even killed the lord, he didn't swing the sword in his hand at you, did he? General...you...you may...are her last remaining warmth."

Liu Rui felt as if some valve had been opened, and the tears were out of control, so he stood in the bright sunlight and began to cry.She felt very strange that apart from sadness, there was endless heartbeat in her disappointing tears.Heart-pounding for the dead...

The seasons alternate, summer leaves fall in autumn.Although it has been more than three months since she left the capital, Liu Rui always felt uncomfortable, as if her eyes were staring at her spine, that feeling made her very uncomfortable.

"Come out." Finally, in the inn halfway up the mountain, Liu Rui couldn't bear it anymore.

"Haha...general...you found me." Ah Jing came out from behind the tree and said with a smile.

"Why don't you stay in the court hall and come out with me?" Liu Rui held tea in one hand and looked sideways at him.

"Subordinate..." Ah Jing opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say. "Subordinates..."

Liu Rui was not in a hurry, just sat in the shade and waited while eating.

"The subordinates were just afraid that the general would be overwhelmed...seeking suicide...so they followed behind. Before he knew it...he followed him for more than three months..." Ah Jing saw that standing still was not an option, so he had to tell the truth. "Although this subordinate has been with the general for so many years, and is used to seeing the general's happy nature...but he still can't let go...the general's deep affection for His Majesty Kaguya is personally seen by this subordinate...your majesty's death is very important to the general Let’s talk about how big the blow was, and my subordinates dare not estimate...Moreover...the day the general left, he said he had nowhere to go...I cried all afternoon...The subordinates thought..."

When Liu Rui, who was originally stern, heard A Jing say this, a slight smile appeared on his expression, and A Jing saw her glance at the stool beside her, and said.

"Come here and sit down and eat together."

"Okay." Ah Jing sat down knowingly.

Liu Rui put a piece of meat into A Jing's bowl and said.

"As for Hui Ye's passing, I have always been unable to accept it, thinking that it was not true." Liu Rui said calmly, looking at the teacup on the table. "For a long time, I felt uncomfortable and wanted to take out my heart and hold it in my hands. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I always felt that I had nothing, as if I had lost my way forward. I felt that no one could empathize with me. I thought, I probably will never love anyone like this again in my life... My heart is faintly afraid, afraid of this irreversible fear of drifting away... But..."

Ah Jing listened to Liu Rui continue.

"But love is not all I have. I still have my father and mother. There are still many things to do, and the customs and customs I love to experience."

Ah Jing looked sideways, and saw Liu Rui's soft silhouette enveloped by warm sunlight.

"I believe there are many beautiful things waiting for me to meet in this world. My parents will grow old and I need to go back to take care of them. There are new snacks every day, and I want to try them too."

Ah Jing didn't know when a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Liu Ruidao.

"General, this subordinate thinks... maybe, maybe if His Majesty is alive, one day he will fall in love with the general."

"I've always believed so firmly." Liu Rui smiled, answering rather conceitedly. "So on the day she was buried, I told her that in the next life, come to me and never go to Zhao Minghe's place again."

In the next life... I will remember the scenery I have seen in this life, the delicacies I have eaten, prop up this world, and take her forward together.

Kaguya.

I promise you, the promise of a happy life.

next life……

I wish...

We will... have no regrets.no regrets.Live up to it.No barriers.

I love you.

And you... also happen to love me.
