Difficulty in deciphering

Lin Huiye just followed Zhao Minghe's army out of the capital. She didn't say anything to Zhao Minghe along the way, but just followed her on horseback.

Sunshine, crowd, Zhao Minghe.

Going forward like this, Lin Huiye reaffirmed that as long as Zhao Minghe is standing by his side, everything else...doesn't matter.

Gradually, the surrounding scenery began to become barren, and the sky was already a fiery red.Zhao Minghe's forward horse finally stopped.Lin Huiye saw her turn her head and said to him.

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace."

"Minghe, let's go." But Lin Huiye said with a smile without answering Zhao Minghe's words.

"Let's go?" Hearing Lin Huiye say this at first, Zhao Minghe asked in confusion.

"You don't need to fight anymore, and I won't be the emperor either. Let's go, wherever we go."

In the soft twilight, Lin Huiye's eyes were transparent for the first time, making it seem as if one could see into her heart at a glance.

After a long silence, Lin Huiye suddenly saw Zhao Minghe smiling.she said.

"Now that the war is not over, your majesty is the king of a country, what are you thinking?"

"Miss you." Lin Huiye replied calmly, even after a long time, Zhao Minghe would still think of that evening, Lin Huiye said seriously, "I miss you."

By the time Lin Huiye returned to Yannian Palace, the night was already dark.According to her preference, the whole bedroom was still pitch black.

"You're back." Almost as expected, Lin Huiye heard a familiar voice before he took two steps.

"Yes." Lin Huiye replied, then untied the cloak on his body and handed it to the man. "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm waiting for His Majesty to come back." Lin Jieyu lowered his eyebrows and said softly.

"Now I'm back."

"Yes." I don't know why, but after hearing this sentence, Lin Jieyu became happy, she bent her eyes and smiled. "Welcome back."

One month after Zhao Minghe left, the war in the Northwest quickly tended to subside. Although the officials in the DPRK and China could not understand Zhao Minghe's character, they felt at ease with her record and pointed at her to regain Longshui and attack Ningsha.Everyone knew in their hearts that Lishi's status in Ningcha Kingdom was very important. If Ningcha was not destroyed for a day, Pan Dynasty would be shrouded in a huge shadow forever.

Liu Rui also left the palace after Zhao Minghe set off, and did not see Lin Huiye again before leaving.Because she also knew that if the pretense of "urgent" was used too much, her own life would be in jeopardy.Simply Chiguo is not as bloodthirsty as Ningsha, she thought, compared to Zhao Minghe, she is more relaxed.

Everything in the palace gradually returned to normal after the two generals left.The boulder in Lin Huiye's heart slightly fell to the ground, but she was vaguely worried about other things, but... until now, she still doesn't know what she is worried about.

At dusk that day, Lin Jieyu rested on the Tianniao Pavilion again.Wrapped in a white snow fox cloak, she was leaning against the wooden pillar with her knees hugged. She was staring sideways at the frozen willow forest in a daze, but suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps behind her.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Huiye asked.

"I didn't think about anything." Lin Jieyu withdrew his gaze, looked back at Lin Huiye, and was instantly stunned.

Her Majesty did not wear a dragon robe today, but a dark blue fleece, which looked so soft.The wind of early spring blew past, making Lin Huiye's hair slightly flutter, and also stirred the only glass bead flower in her hair.

"When I saw you for the first time, you were also wearing a dark blue fleece. I still remember...that night...it snowed."

"It will snow tonight."

"Really?" Lin Jieyu said.

"Well, someone from Qin Tianjian told me." Lin Huiye said. "Say it's Xuerui this year, and there will be a good sign in the coming year."

"There must be a good omen." Lin Jieyu smiled, and pushed the snow off the wooden fence beside him with his hands for Lin Huiye to sit down. "Because this is Kaguya's country."

"Tonight, let's go see the ice lantern." Lin Huiye said so, and sat next to Lin Jieyu.

"Bing... Bing Deng?" Lin Jieyu felt his heart beating fast after hearing the word Bing Deng.

"En, Bing Deng." Lin Huiye said. "I heard the palace ladies discussing that this year's Ice Lantern Festival is very beautiful. Tonight is the last night of the Ice Lantern Festival, so I wanted to go and see... Xie Yu?"

Lin Huiye said so, but seeing Lin Jieyu's eye sockets were wet, she hugged herself into her arms and said.

"The minister is going...the minister is going! The minister is going with His Majesty!"

Lin Huiye only felt the warmth on her neck, she thought, this child...was crying with joy?

Lin Jieyu only felt that happiness came a little too fast and suddenly. The day she had been waiting for for six years came quietly tonight.For a moment, she felt that the six years of waiting were finally worth it.

While sitting on the carriage leaving the palace, Lin Jieyu's heart was still beating crazily.It wasn't the first time she left the palace in a carriage, but it was the first time she looked forward to the world outside the palace like this.This kind of anticipation is like a vine that sees the sun one day and begins to grow wildly, it is unstoppable.

In the early spring, the weather was still very cold, Lin Jieyu saw Lin Huiye lighting the stove, quietly leaning against the corner of the carriage, like a cat.After staring at His Majesty for a while, Lin Jieyu looked sideways and opened the curtain of the carriage to look out, and saw the vermilion palace walls covered with snow kept passing by.

One side after another.

"See what?" Just when Lin Jieyu was in a daze, she suddenly heard Lin Huiye ask.

"I can see the loneliness." Lin Jieyu replied.

"You know... what did I see?" Lin Huiye asked again.

"Does Your Majesty always look at the palace wall like this every time he leaves the palace?" Hearing Lin Huiye's question, Lin Jieyu laughed.

"Well, I watch it every time." Lin Huiye replied.

"Then what did His Majesty see?"

"Left, straight, left..." Hearing Lin Jieyu's question, Lin Huiye just closed his eyes and said calmly.

"Left...straight...left?" Lin Jieyu obviously didn't understand Lin Huiye's meaning when he suddenly heard this.However, after a while, she understood.

Because of the carriage, I turned left, and then went straight...

"I have been thinking about how to escape from here since I was a child. Every time I got on the carriage, I started to take the trouble to remember the way. Every palace wall that looks exactly the same is different in my eyes."

"Then...how much do you remember?" Lin Jieyu asked.

"All."

After hearing this answer, Lin Jieyu was stunned, and it took him a while to hear Lin Huiye continue.

"All... the way out of the palace."

"Your Majesty is indeed very powerful." Lin Jieyu laughed.

"However, since the day I became the throne, I no longer remember the road."

"why?"

"Because..." Lin Huiye suddenly stopped at this point, and then Lin Jieyu saw her smile and said. "Because I can't escape anymore. No matter how many roads I remember, how strong I am, how hard I try..."

There is no way to find that person anymore...

forever……

Lin Jieyu listened quietly, but Lin Huiye didn't see anything else to say. She just quietly curled up in Lin Jieyu's arms and closed her eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Lin Jieyu put his hand lightly on Lin Huiye's body, and began to look at the palace wall that was gradually being filled by night.

Left, straight, left.

Lin Jieyu laughed.

She thought that from now on, this sprawling palace wall would have meaning to her.

When the night fell, their carriage finally arrived at the birthplace of the ice lamp, Taihe.

Lin Jieyu poked his head out from the window of the carriage, and saw snowflakes floating in the sky, and the wind was blowing bitterly.She was afraid that Lin Hui would be cold at night, so she brought another cloak before getting out of the carriage.However, as soon as Lin Jieyu's toes landed on the ground, another huge snowstorm swept across the sky.She hugged the cloak tightly and closed her eyes tightly. She waited for the sound of the wind to subside before opening, only to find that she was in Lin Huiye's arms.

She looked up and saw Lin Huiye was supporting her, staring straight ahead.Habitually, Lin Jieyu also followed Lin Huiye's gaze, but felt that his breathing froze for a moment.

She saw the fluttering falling snow, the winding glaciers, and the dazzling light and shadow.

Maybe it was coming to an end, and not many people came to see the ice lantern tonight, but Lin Jieyu thought it was very good, because she didn't like too noisy environment.After a while, Erlin was already in the sea of ​​ice lanterns. They walked back and forth for a while, only to find that the few passers-by were always looking towards this side.

"What...are they looking at?" Lin Jieyu asked.

"Look at you." Lin Huiye smiled.

"Why?" Hearing Lin Huiye's answer, Lin Jieyu was puzzled.

"Maybe...because...you look so weird."

"..." After hearing Lin Huiye's answer, Lin Jieyu felt as if five thunders had struck his top, and he was instantly petrified.She has never paid much attention to her appearance, but after hearing the adjective "strange"...she suddenly realized that there is such a thing as appearance...so...she felt inferior for her "strange" appearance...

"I lied to you." Lin Jieyu, who was in the petrification, only felt a mask lightly pressed on his face, and then listened to Lin Huiye. "Because they haven't seen anyone as good-looking as you, they only look at you. If you keep this, there will be no problem."

Lin Jieyu only felt that his mood was really strange. Just now there was a thunderbolt, and now he wanted to cry again...

"Then you..." Lin Jieyu straightened his mask and said.

"I bring it too."

Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Lin Jieyu turned his head to look at her. In the light and shadow of the ice lamp, Lin Huiye was wearing a phoenix mask, leaving only a pair of bright eyes outside, as if he had fallen into the glacier.

"It suits you so well..." Lin Jieyu blurted out.

"The interpreter is also very suitable." Lin Huiye replied.

"Huh? What does my mask look like?" Hearing what Lin Huiye said, Lin Jieyu realized this.

"Pick it off and have a look yourself after you go back." Lin Huiye continued to walk forward, keeping his eyes on the surrounding shops.

"Can't I watch it now?"

"No." Lin Huiye said.

"Why?"

"Because..." Hearing Lin Jieyu's question, Lin Huiye thought as he walked, and finally said after a long time. "Because I told you to go back and watch."

It was obviously said casually, but this is undoubtedly the best reason for Lin Jieyu.She soon forgot about looking at the mask, and followed Lin Huiye to look at the things in the shop.

Lin Jieyu didn't know how many ice lanterns she had seen, she only knew that she was following in Lin Huiye's footsteps and was extremely happy.The two walked like this, and finally reached the end of the ice lamp.

"You said... what is hanging on the red string along the way?" Lin Huiye looked at the paper lanterns hanging on the red string among the trees as he walked. "This lantern is dark...and no one has lit the wick yet."

"I just saw someone write something on the note, and after finishing writing, I put the note in the lantern and hung it up." Lin Jieyu said. "It should be... something like a wish."

"Wish?" Lin Huiye asked while standing still, looking at the lantern on the red string.

"Girl, you have a good eye. The lantern in front of you was made by the guest officer who placed the lantern. It is completely different from the one you bought. Do you want to take it down and have a look?" Lin Huiye was staring at the lantern. At that time, the hawker at the stall came up with a smile.

"Isn't this place containing other people's wishes, so you can take it off and read it?" Lin Huiye said.

"These wishes are for other guest officials to see." The peddler said. "Is this your first time seeing ice lanterns? Our ice lanterns have a custom of taking one down and putting another up."

"Why?"

"Girls can only hang their own lanterns after reading their wishes, but at the Ice Lantern Festival, each guest official can only take one lantern and hang one lantern. If there are too many... the wish will not work."

"Xieyu, take it down." Hearing what the peddler said, Lin Huiye became interested and said.

"Yes." Lin Jieyu responded, and flew over to take off the lantern.The peddler saw Lin Jieyu's light figure and was stunned. Before he could react, the lantern had already been taken apart by Lin Huiye.

"Wait! Wait! I forgot to say just now that this wish can only be read by one person and written by one person. If others see it, it will not work."

As if feeling troublesome, Lin Huiye glanced at the peddler lightly, and unfolded the note inside the lantern.

However, the moment she unfolded the note, she felt her heart clenched tightly.

The domineering font in front of her... She recognizes it...

"Girl?" Seeing Lin Huiye's breath sinking, the peddler asked worriedly, but Lin Huiye ignored it at all.

Because at this moment, there is only that wish left in her mind.
