Difficulty in deciphering

Lin Huiye rushed back to the palace in the middle of the night, her motorcade stopped outside the imperial city, Yue Yao left only a few dark guards disguised as coachmen to drive her into the city.

Lin Huiye still remembered that night, the pitch-black night spread from the sky like thick ink, covering up all the brilliance of the stars and the moon.There was no one outside the imperial city except the soldiers who were quietly guarding the city. She opened the curtain and looked out, and saw a few isolated lights on both sides of the road made of basalt stones, but these isolated lights became a scene in the darkness. The only embellishment.

"Your Highness, please follow me." Feeling that the carriage had been wandering around the palace for a long time, Lin Huiye finally heard a maid outside the carriage calling her.She lifted the curtain of the car to look, but she just felt that the maid was unfamiliar.

"I want to go back to Yannian Palace first." Lin Huiye got out of the carriage, and instead of following the maid, he just said calmly.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said that as soon as you come back, I will take you to see him." Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly bowed and said humblely.

"It's late at night, and my father is seriously ill. Wouldn't I disturb his sleep if I go now?" Lin Huiye said with cold eyes. "I'll trouble you to guard Father, and tell him when he wakes up. I'll go see him tomorrow morning."

"Your Highness, since Your Majesty has ordered you to do so, we'd better do it." Unexpectedly, before Lin Huiye could turn around, a voice came from behind her.That voice is strong | tough, not to be rejected.

"Any official business should not be compared with Father's health." Lin Huiye turned his head and looked at the person behind him. "He has a lot of work to do every day, and he is sick, how can I disturb his sleep?"

"Your Majesty's body is certainly important, but his will is even more important to us, the hidden guards. We must not neglect anything His Majesty orders," Yue Yao continued. "Besides, the secret guard just came to report, and His Majesty is awake and waiting for you."

"Then... trouble you to lead the way." Lin Huiye smiled but didn't smile, she uttered a few words coldly, and stopped talking.Hearing what she said, Yue Yao pushed away the maid, and took Lin Huiye to Ronghua Hall himself.

Along the way, Lin Huiye and Yue Yao were relatively silent.The two walked one after the other until they reached the gate of Ronghua Hall, and Yue Yao stopped.Lin Huiye ignored him and continued to move forward.However, she had just walked two steps when she heard Yue Yao calling her behind her.

"your Highness."

Hearing Yue Yao calling him, Lin Huiye stood still in place, but did not turn his head.

"Did you dream of Han Yu these days?"

"Yes." He thought he would not get an answer, but Yue Yao heard Lin Huiye answer like this.

"What did she say?"

Yue Yao asked, and saw Lin Huiye who was standing in the dark with his back turned to him, turned his head, smiled slightly at him, and said.

"She said It won't be long before she can meet you."

At that moment, Yue Yao felt chills all over his body, and his whole body was shrouded in a huge darkness.

When he regained his senses, Lin Huiye had already walked into the hall alone.

The inside of Ronghua Hall is the same as the outside, not very bright.Only the dragon couch at the far end was lit, and the aged emperor was lying in the couch, supporting his sickly body, and looking towards this side.

"Father called Hui Ye to come so late, is there something important?" Lin Huiye walked towards the emperor, greeting the emperor as he walked.

"I just couldn't sleep at night and wanted to see you." The emperor replied, lifted the thin quilt, and stood up from the dragon couch.

"Are you feeling better?" Lin Huiye stopped by the dragon bed.

"Do you hope that my health is good, or not?" The emperor walked down the steps and walked to Lin Huiye's side.Although he was sick and weak, he was still quite a bit taller than Lin Huiye.

"Hui Ye naturally wishes Father the best." Lin Huiye lowered his eyes and replied softly.

"Then why...you want to kill my son and daughter?"

The whole world seemed to freeze at this moment, Lin Huiye seemed to have stopped breathing, she stood still for a while.

"What do you think?" the emperor continued to ask, as if he wanted to get an answer from Lin Huiye.

However, Lin Huiye still didn't say a word, as if he had merged with the night.

"I told you to speak!!" Seeing that Lin Huiye still didn't say a word, the emperor suddenly roared and slapped Lin Huiye on the face!

Lin Huiye was knocked to the ground by this slap, and a bloody mouth was split at the corner of his lips.

"To survive." After another period of silence, Lin Hui answered at the end of the night.The emperor felt suffocated, and saw Lin Huiye raised his head, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, and said word by word. "Live and see the world."

"Did they ever want to kill you?" After a while, the emperor answered.

"Would you still believe what I said?" Lin Huiye smiled instead of answering.

"As long as you have evidence." After a while, the emperor replied. "I will believe it."

"Father is also a person who came from the prince, I think father also knows that the person who can stand on the throne must be the strongest who can escape from the darkness." Lin Huiye said. "Those who passed away due to various reasons in the middle, how can they deserve to stand at the end? Or...only those who died due to lack of ability are always right, and standing here alive is a mistake in itself?"

"Can this be an excuse for your bloodthirsty behavior?!"

"Hui Ye is not bloodthirsty." Lin Huiye stood up on the ground, she wiped the sticky blood on the corner of her lips. "Kaguya only removes obstacles for dignity and life."

"I ask you for evidence!"

"Kaguya has no evidence."

"Lin Huiye...you are still not cruel enough...If you want to do it, you should leave no trace of it! But why did you keep Hanyu for so long at the last moment...and why didn't you show me the evidence! You let me know that you did all of this... I...! How can I keep you?"

After a long silence, the imperial guards guarding the hall finally heard the emperor whisper.

"Someone...put Lin Huiye into the sky prison. Forever... confinement."

After the emperor finished speaking these words, he left the hall.Lin Huiye was immediately surrounded by four dark guards and escorted to the prison.

Although Lin Huiye grew up in the imperial palace, he had never been to such a place.

The night was dark, the darkest time before dawn, and Lin Huiye could see huge buildings standing quietly in the darkness from a distance, carrying a heavy and gloomy atmosphere.

"Your Highness, please go in." Seeing Lin Huiye staying outside the dungeon and refusing to go in, Yue Yao took a step forward and whispered in her ear.

"Don't look at how dark it is now." Lin Huiye didn't listen to him, but sighed secretly as he looked at the pitch-black night. "But, it will light up after a while..."

"But that light will never belong to you again." Yue Yao said so, and pushed Lin Huiye into the boundless darkness.

When the sun was rising, Lin Jieyu was galloping towards the imperial city on his horse.In the past few days, she took Yichen to Yunzhou to investigate the case of salt trafficking in Yunzhou. She already had the evidence, and she could report to the emperor in turn.However, when she performed lightness kung fu and jumped up the city wall, she felt Lin Huiye's aura.

"Yichen." Lin Huiye stood on the city wall, calling the names of the people around him.

"Xieyu? What's wrong?"

"I seem to... feel Hui Ye's breath." Lin Jieyu closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something, so serious.

"You think she's crazy, right? Princess Huiye is still fighting in the northern border." Hearing Lin Jieyu's sudden words, Yi Chen smiled.

But Lin Jieyu didn't listen to Yi Chen, she tapped her toes again and disappeared after a while.

The guards guarding the city were questioned repeatedly by Lin Jieyu, and finally said impatiently.

"Princess Huiye came back last night, but left again."

"Why did she come back? And why did she leave?" Lin Jieyu's heart tightened when he heard that Lin Huiye had indeed returned, and he continued to ask.

"Why do you have so many things to do as a court lady? Hurry up and go out of the palace to do things for the empress in the palace." Listening to Lin Jieyu's endless questions, the guard who guarded the city ignored her.

"Brother guard, please tell me a few more words, I will never talk nonsense." Lin Jieyu was impatient, took out a certain amount of money and stuffed it into the guard's cuff, and said softly. "Where did Princess Huiye go?"

The guard touched a certain amount of money, looked at Lin Jieyu's beautiful face, and said softly. "Actually, Princess Huiye hasn't gone out since she came in last night."

"Who brought her back?"

"do not know."

"How could you not know?" Lin Jieyu asked.

"You may not know. In addition to the emperor, there is another group of people in the palace that we guards cannot ask about their whereabouts. Not only can we not ask about their whereabouts, let alone call them by their names. It was this person who brought the princess back last night. Humanoid. We only know one or two about them, and we haven’t even seen the rest of them. We only rely on tokens to identify them. Our city defense department just received an order last night, saying that it was to kill Princess Kaguya Keep everything secret. In fact, we only know that Princess Hui Ye is back, but we don’t know where she went.”

"Thank you." Lin Jieyu hurriedly thanked, and walked quickly towards Yannian Palace.

Lin Jieyu felt cold on the way to Yannian Palace.Because Lin Huiye's aura became weaker and weaker along the way, and it was completely gone when he reached Yannian Palace.

"Did the princess come back last night?" Lin Jieyu walked up to the little maid who was dozing at the door and asked.

The little maid was suddenly awakened by Lin Jieyu, and gave a shocking voice. "No, the princess hasn't been back for more than half a year."

"Then where can she go..." Lin Jieyu muttered, and suddenly felt that he and Lin Huiye were in a huge maze.

They may be very close, separated by a wall.

However, she couldn't find her.

When Yichen returned to Anbu, he always felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he just went back to his room to rest in embarrassment.

He knew that things in Anbu were always complicated, and each of them had their own different tasks.Not to question each other, not to keep feelings for each other, is their principle of doing things.Because... maybe one day, they will fight each other because of the emperor's order, and eventually lose their lives.

At night, Lin Jieyu still hadn't returned to Anbu.Yi Chen felt that something was wrong with her, so she went out to look for her.After walking around the palace for a long time, Yi Chen didn't find Lin Jieyu.While thinking about where she would go, three words suddenly appeared in Yichen's mind - Tianniao Pavilion.

It was already late at night when he arrived at the Tianniao Pavilion, Yichen was completely stunned. He stood motionless and looked at Lin Jieyu on the attic and the birds that almost covered the entire sky. Unable to speak.

I saw Lin Jieyu standing on Tianniao's attic, holding Lin Huiye's clothes with both hands, and letting the birds wander around her.She gave instructions to the birds in a soft voice.

"Remember this breath, go find the owner of this clothes."
