Chapter 40: The Night of the Town

People in the capital gathered around the roadside and looked at it with their necks propped up early in the morning.Every year when the emperor goes to Mount Tai to pray for blessings, it is one of the moments they look forward to the most.Because only on this day, the emperor's carriage will pass through the streets and alleys of the capital, bringing great blessings.

"Mother, tell me, if you stand here, you can see His Majesty the Emperor?" The girl looked around while grabbing the corner of her mother's coarse cloth with one hand.On this day, the sky in Beijing, which had been hazy for a long time, finally cleared up, and the bright sunshine made people feel happy.

"Yes. Standing here, we will definitely be able to see it." The woman also looked expectantly, looking at the long empty street.

"Mother, do you think that if you get the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor, your illness will be cured? Can we live a better life in the future?" The girl asked, looking at the street and the woman beside her.

"Yes, Xizi." The woman tilted her head and patted her daughter's head with a smile. "We, Xizi, will surely live a good life in the future."

"Your Majesty." Zhao Minghe and Lin Huiye sat in the same carriage, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Huh?" Since waking up this morning, Lin Huiye has been in an exceptionally good mood.Hearing Zhao Minghe calling him at this moment, Lin Huiye turned his head to look at her, his slightly curved eyes fell on the warm orange sunlight in the carriage, which was extraordinarily bright.

"We have a total of six golden-topped carriages going out of the city today."

"Isn't it grand?" Lin Huiye, who was already smiling, couldn't help it anymore, and just broke into a smile.

"So I thought, can I sit in another sedan chair...?"

"The other sedan chairs are all used by me to guard against assassins. They are empty. If you sit on them, there will be no one to take care of you if you feel unwell... What should you do?"

"minister……"

"If Zhao Aiqing's health is fine, you can go to court after praying for blessings. There are still many things waiting for you to deal with." Before Zhao Minghe could finish speaking, Lin Huiye said this.Blocked Zhao Minghe's phrase "I'm fine now" in his throat.

"I just want to say, if Your Majesty wants to use a golden-roofed carriage to defend against assassins, shouldn't he be mixed in with those carriages? Why would you put your own carriage...in the first place?" Zhao Minghe changed the subject. "Even if the assassins attack, let's start with the first one."

"Because after arriving at Mount Tai, the view here will be very good." Lin Huiye unexpectedly replied like this. "It's the first time for me to ride a carriage with Minghe, and I want to see the best scenery."

Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Zhao Minghe didn't answer anything, he just looked sideways at the inner wall of the carriage, as if he wanted to stare at it for a hole.

After the carriage moved forward for an hour, Zhao Minghe turned his head to look at Lin Huiye, and saw that Lin Huiye was also staring at the inner wall on the other side of the carriage, extraordinarily energetic, and burst out laughing instantly.

"You...what are you laughing at?" Startled by Zhao Minghe's laughter, Lin Huiye turned around, and just happened to see Zhao Minghe's eyebrows and eyes slightly raised, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he was stunned for a moment.

"No, it's nothing. I just think that His Majesty... is very energetic."

Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Lin Huiye didn't understand what Zhao Minghe meant, but just looked at Zhao Minghe innocently with a pair of blinking eyes.

"It's...literally."

"Because I was thinking about something." Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Lin Huiye explained. "I'm thinking about a lot of things...such as..."

Although Zhao Minghe listened to Lin Huiye chattering in his ears, his thoughts flew away.She thought that every time Lin Jieyu and Lin Jieyu sat in the carriage, the woman would always look out of the window and fall asleep after watching.

Once asleep, it is very heavy.

Zhao Minghe thought, maybe Lin Jieyu wasn't really guarding against him, otherwise, how could she be so safe by his side?

Or, Lin Jieyu didn't even know that she trusted the enemy around her so much.

"Mom! Look! Look! Six golden-topped carriages!"

After waiting all morning, Xizi finally saw the mighty crowd, turned around and ran towards the inn behind him, and climbed onto the roof of the inn all at once.She looked around and saw a large number of people walking slowly towards the widest and most prosperous avenue in the capital. Six golden-topped carriages were surrounded by thousands of imperial guards, so high that they almost overwhelmed them. The colorful official sedan chairs behind him were all compared, and instantly became the only scenery in the capital at the moment.

"Xizi! Come down quickly! You stand so high, be careful of falling!" The woman turned her head, and saw Xizi standing alone on the highest roof of the inn, facing the sun, so far away.

"Mother, don't worry about me, I'll come down right away." Hearing the woman calling him, Xizi got off the roof and ran back to the woman.But at this moment, the six golden-roofed carriages were already in sight.

Xizi opened his eyes wide, moving his gaze as the carriage moved forward, but he didn't want to, at this moment a breeze blew past and the curtain of the carriage was blown up.

At that moment, Xizi only felt that his breathing was stagnant.

The profile of the emperor in the sedan chair was firmly imprinted in her heart, as if a fairy was about to come.

A large number of people chased away after the golden-roofed carriage, but Xizi stood there alone, unable to recover from the admiration at that moment.

"Xizi."

"Xizi?"

"Xizi!" The woman grabbed Xizi's shoulder and shook it vigorously, but she didn't see Xizi say a word, and her heart suddenly became anxious.

"Mother... I saw Your Majesty..."

"What... what?" The woman was surprised when she heard what Xizi said.

"I really saw Your Majesty..." Xizi repeated, not even breathing smoothly. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, she..."

Your Majesty, she is the most...

"What happened to her, Your Majesty?" Seeing how excited Xizi was, the woman asked anxiously.

"Mom! Let's go back and drink the medicine, maybe your illness will get better today!" Unexpectedly, Xizi did not answer the woman's question, but happily pulled the corner of the woman's clothes and walked towards go home.

I don't know how long it took before someone came to report that the carriage had left the capital. Zhao Minghe looked sideways and found that Lin Huiye was still sitting by the window like that, maintaining a straight sitting posture, motionless.

"Your Majesty can really bear it, did you train like this when you were a child?" Zhao Minghe changed into a comfortable position and leaned against the carriage. She took off her shoes, crossed her legs, and squinted at Lin Huiye who was opposite from the corner of her eyes.

"Yes." Lin Huiye replied. "When I was a child, I would often sit like this for a day."

"Why do you want to do this? Isn't the princess supposed to be extremely precious?"

"I want to see how long I can hold on." Lin Huiye smiled. "The more I sit, the more uncomfortable I feel, but I think I can continue to sit until... I don't want to sit anymore."

"So, it's the same for other things? There's nothing you can't do that you don't want to do?"

"I'm not a god, how could everything be as I wish?" Hearing the obvious irony in Zhao Minghe's words, Lin Huiye was not angry, but just answered patiently.

Seeing that Lin Huiye was neither happy nor angry, Zhao Minghe suddenly felt that his sarcastic words were meaningless, so he stopped talking.She just fell asleep leaning against the wall of the car. This time she slept very lightly. She was vaguely dreaming, but it was not a nightmare.In the dream... there was the shadow of Lin Huiye.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Minghe woke up from his dream in a daze.She saw herself lying in the carriage, wearing Lin Huiye's dragon robe.She looked sideways at Lin Huiye, and saw that the man was kneeling on the carriage floor, with his upper body lying beside her, and he was already asleep.

"Your Majesty, why are you sleeping on the floor?" Zhao Minghe woke up Lin Huiye in a hurry. "Careful to catch a cold."

"I saw Minghe's sleeping face, and I also saw that he was asleep." Zhao Minghe shook his sleeves, and Lin Huiye also woke up in a daze.She shifted her posture, snuggled up to Zhao Minghe's lap like a cat, and said. "I haven't slept so peacefully in a long time."

"Your Majesty sleeps peacefully by my side?" Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Zhao Minghe asked.

"I'm by your side, even if I don't fall asleep, I feel safe."

"Really?" Zhao Minghe sneered.If Lin Huiye really knew that she was responsible for the poisoned wine, how could he sleep peacefully?

Unexpectedly, Lin Huiye raised his eyes, nodded seriously, and smiled.

"real."

For a moment, Zhao Minghe felt his mind go blank.She didn't know that Lin Huiye was too meticulous, even his eyes were so real.Or... what she said was indeed what she thought in her heart.

It was pitch black, and Lin Huiye just rolled up the car curtains, and she didn't light the lights in the car, but let the dim moonlight pour in from the car windows.Zhao Minghe saw Lin Huiye bring the dinner for the two of them from the wooden cabinet in the carriage, and handed a copy to himself.

"It's getting cold, should I ask someone to warm it up?"

"No need." Zhao Minghe said after taking the dinner. "When I was outside the Great Wall, I ate all kinds of food."

"I heard from Liu Rui that...you can sing?"

"I won't." Hearing the word Liu Rui, Zhao Minghe frowned slightly, and replied shallowly.

"I want to hear it."

"I really don't know how to do it." Zhao Minghe replied.

"You can sing for Liu Rui, but can't you sing for me?" Hearing Zhao Minghe's stubborn answer, Lin Huiye raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I haven't sung to her before." Zhao Minghe answered like this, while thinking hard, she occasionally hummed a few lines except for herself, and never...

Could it be... Liu Rui heard it from outside the tent?But Lin Huiye took advantage of this...

"Ah Choo!" In the deep palace, Liu Rui, who was guarding the Kunhong Hall, sneezed.Lin Jieyu, who was sitting on the side reading a book, raised his head, and a pair of pupils swept over, making Liu Rui feel even colder.

"cold?"

"Cold." Liu Rui rubbed his body, trying to avoid Lin Jieyu's sight.What made her feel cold was not the weather in September, but Lin Jieyu's eyes.

"When you come to Kunhong Hall at night, you need to add more clothes." Lin Jieyu said so, and handed her his shawl. "You go back first, I will guard the Kunhong Palace tonight, and you and Wei Qing can come tomorrow night."

"This...isn't it good to leave Sir Xie here alone?"

"It's okay." Lin Jieyu said. "I can't see Mr. Liu, but I feel more comfortable in my heart."

"..." After hearing Lin Jieyu's words, Liu Rui felt his eyebrows twitch.She thought, Lin Jieyu hated her, it really wasn't her illusion, but...doesn't it need to be so obvious?

Even though he thought so, Liu Rui still stood up wisely and walked towards the outside of the hall.She saw that the moonlight was not visible tonight, and it was slightly dim, which was exactly what Lin Huiye liked.

Kaguya.

Kaguya.

Bright night.

But I don't want to, the owner of this name doesn't like that the night is too bright.

Thinking of this, Liu Rui walked out of the gate of Kunhong Hall, and when he turned around again, he saw Lin Jieyu sitting alone in the dark hall, accompanied by only a candlestick, so lonely.

"Sure enough, it's better to stay with her." Liu Rui said to himself, then sat at the gate of the palace without standing up again.

Zhao Minghe just felt that if he didn't sing tonight, he wouldn't be able to get through the night.She looked sideways at Lin Huiye who was huddled silently in the corner of the car, and sighed softly.

"His Majesty."

After calling out, Zhao Minghe saw that Lin Huiye changed his posture and hugged his legs, and he didn't speak anything.

"Your Majesty, can I sing for you?"

Lin Huiye remained silent, looking at the cold breath, it seemed that he didn't want to hear it anymore.

"Hui Ye." Seeing Lin Huiye's appearance, Zhao Minghe smiled.She waved Lin Huiye's hand and said. "Hui Ye, come here."

"I don't want to go there, you... just sing there."

Seeing that Lin Huiye seemed to be slowing down a bit, Zhao Minghe smiled and shook his head, suddenly realizing that the extremely short spell "Hui Ye" is extremely useful.

"Yeah." She replied lightly, and began to sing.

"The sound of camel bells, the misty Loulan wind...the setting sun is like blood, and the ancient totem is dyed red..."

However, after hearing this song, Lin Huiye's pupils tightened instantly.

She only heard Zhao Minghe's shallow voice, singing that... the ancient life-suppressing song.

The years are long, and the three thousand worlds have been indifferent

Looking at each other for half a lifetime, lovesickness for half a lifetime, people haggard

Half of life is drifting away, half of life is gone, white hair is just sad

A long-cherished wish in this life, a promise in the next life, reincarnation with you
