Difficulty in deciphering

It has been half a month since Zhao Minghe returned to the palace. During this period, ministers kept submitting reference books to Lin Huiye, but she threw them to Lin Jieyu.Lin Jieyu sat on the edge of the desk and read the memorials, then closed them and put them aside without saying a word.

"Why, don't you say a few words," Lin Huiye asked seeing Lin Jieyu's silence.

"Not yet." Ran Lin Jieyu said indifferently.

"Not in time,"

Lin Huiye raised his eyebrows, but saw that the corners of Lin Jieyu's lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling faintly.

she says.

"It's not time for the minister to join her."

Darkness fell, but Zhao Minghe couldn't sleep.As long as she closes her eyes, she will dream, dreaming of Lingxi Valley, dreaming of Xiao Yu, dreaming of the military camp, dreaming of the imperial palace, and... dreaming of Lin Huiye.These days she walked along the way fell from the sky like layers of scrolls and melted into dreams, making her breathless.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Minghe finally couldn't lie down anymore.She stood up, put on her coat and pushed open the door, but the moment the door opened, she saw Xiao Qi in the courtyard.

Zhao Minghe saw that thin figure wearing the most common maid uniform sitting alone on the stone railing in the courtyard, looking up at the night sky.

It was a cool night in the early autumn, and the yellowing leaves slowly fell, falling on the woman's clothes, looking a little lonely.

"Still sleeping?" Zhao Minghe stepped forward and asked.

"Can't sleep." Xiaoqi replied.

"Why?"

"I've been thinking about the future." Xiao Qi replied, still looking up at Ye Qiong.

"What's next?" Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Zhao Minghe laughed. "Let me guess... what kind of husband is Xiao Qi looking for?"

"I never thought about such a thing." Seeing Zhao Minghe tease him, Xiao Qi frowned.

"what is that?"

"I'm just thinking, if one day, the Pan Dynasty really perishes, where should we... go?"

"Where do you want to go?" Zhao Minghe smiled lightly, looking down at Xiaoqi.

"I just... can't figure it out." Xiao Qi shook his head and said. "As expected, I will go wherever Minghe goes."

When he heard these words, Zhao Minghe only felt a vague emptiness in his heart.

After the fall of the Pan Dynasty?

Ah……

After the collapse of the Pan Dynasty...where will I...be?

"Minghe?" Seeing that Zhao Minghe was silent, Xiao Qi looked up and saw Zhao Minghe's sad face.

"Of course we are going back to Lingxi Valley." Seeing Xiao Qi's dark eyes, Zhao Minghe also sat beside her and said softly. "Go there, restore it to its original state little by little...and then..."

"Then?"

Zhao Minghe thought for a while, and finally replied. "There's no after that."

"Then wait for Lin Jieyu to come back."

"I didn't say that." Zhao Minghe laughed.

"What you can't say, I'll make up for you." Xiao Qi ignored Zhao Minghe and said directly.

"She won't come back." Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Zhao Minghe said.

"And how do you know?"

Unwilling to give up, Xiao Qi asked, only to see Zhao Minghe smiled again.

She only listened to Zhao Minghe's gentle voice.

"I know everything about her."

If...she is willing to come back...

If she... is really willing to come with me.

Am I... Am I... really going to let go of this killing...?

As long as she... come with me.

Except when discussing matters, Lin Huiye didn't like having people by his side.She always sorted the memorials to Lin Jieyu after going to court, and then took the part of the memorials in her hand to hide in the Kunhong Hall for review.

No one will be seen until the review is complete.

Lin Jieyu knew that Lin Huiye had this habit, so he would not seek to see Lin Huiye unless there were special circumstances.Therefore, Lin Jieyu would not see His Majesty the Emperor for a few days, but she was not idle during these times.

Since going to court, Lin Jieyu didn't attend many missions in Anbu in person, so she would spend these few days visiting Anbu and listening to Yi Chen's report.

On this day, after listening to Yi Chen's report on Anbu's affairs, Lin Jieyu was free.She looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was sunny and blue outside the window, so she asked Xiaozhu to set up a big table beside the bed in the study, spread rice paper on it, set up pens and inks, and prepared to draw.

"Master, are you going to draw?" Seeing Lin Jieyu's formation, Xiaozhu was extremely excited.She had only met her master's painter once, but that one time was something she would never forget.

"Yes." Lin Jieyu replied.

"What are you going to draw this time?" Xiaozhu curiously surrounded the edge of the rice paper and asked.

"How about drawing a fairy?" Lin Jieyu laughed.

"Wh... what kind of fairy..." Hearing the word "goblin", Xiao Zhu felt his whole body tremble and wanted to run away.

"What goblins have I told you about?"

"Slave... I don't even remember it!" Seeing that Lin Jieyu didn't seem to give up, Xiao Zhu ran away from the study as soon as he covered his ears.

Seeing her running away, Lin Jieyu couldn't help shaking her head and smiling, she always felt that Xiao Zhu was a rare pure child, so she loved to talk to her more.Now that she ran away, she finally settled down.

However, when Lin Jieyu wrote on the rice paper, he heard a voice say.

"Why didn't I know that our Majesty Kaguya is actually a goblin?"

The voice was slightly lazy and ruffian, Lin Jieyu frowned, looked up, and saw Zhao Minghe standing outside the window.

The man was dressed in a dark red long-distance runner, with his hair tied up high, and he was still dressed as a general.

"When did Master Zhao come?" Although Lin Jieyu said calmly, he was dissatisfied because Zhao Minghe found out what was on his mind.

"It's early." Zhao Minghe replied. "Long time no see, do you miss me?"

"Of course I miss you." Lin Jieyu smiled, raised his hand and put the tip of the brush on Zhao Minghe's nose, and simply followed suit. "I'm going to draw your fairy."

"It's really an honor for Minghe." Zhao Minghe didn't run away either, letting the ink from Lin Jieyu's pen stay on his nose.

"It's nothing, and there is General Lao standing there." Lin Jieyu pointed to the place where the sun was strongest with cold eyes. "The sun is shining brightly there, I think... I will definitely be able to draw a picture scroll that Mr. Zhao is satisfied with."

Zhao Minghe stood under the sun for two hours, but he still kept a smile on his face.With her folding fan outstretched, she stood upright under the maple tree in Lin Jieyu Hall, motionless.

"Quick... look! That's the general!" Occasionally, a few little maids would pass by the aisle next to Lin Jieyu's study and see Zhao Minghe standing there without knowing why, so they secretly watched.

"If... if the general is a man, I..." One of the little girls just looked at Zhao Minghe in the sun, and sighed after a long time.

"If she was a man, His Majesty would have married him a long time ago... Would it be your turn? You want to snatch a man from His Majesty the Emperor... There is still a long way to go..."

"You...you..." She blushed after being scolded by another maid, the little girl couldn't stay where she was any longer, turned around and ran away.

However, the words of these little maids did not reach Zhao Minghe's ears. She just stared at Lin Jieyu who was painting in the cool study in a daze.Zhao Minghe always felt that as long as there was that person, there would be soft birdsong and warm wind, even in the hot light, there would be an illusion of coolness.

Just thinking about this, Zhao Minghe saw Lin Jieyu raised his eyes to look at him again, his pupils were cold, but mixed with unspeakable tenderness.He wanted to watch for a while longer, but Zhao Minghe suddenly felt the wind blowing up, and his vision was suddenly blurred.She raised her hand to wipe the sweat, only to realize that she was already dripping with sweat, and the sweat had flowed into her eyes.

"Master Zhao moved." Lin Jieyu said.

"so?"

"So?" Lin Jieyu laughed. "Repaint."

"..."

Zhao Minghe just stood there, from the scorching sun to the treetops on the moon.

"Master Zhao has worked hard." After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Minghe finally heard Lin Jieyu's voice.She eased her posture, and then realized that Lin Jieyu had walked to her side with water.

"I have worked so hard all day, and you don't even put some tea?" Seeing that the glass of water Lin Jieyu was holding was crystal clear, Zhao Minghe asked intentionally.

"Clean water to meditate." Lin Jieyu replied. "Master Zhao now officially needs to meditate."

"Haven't you had dinner in the prime minister's palace?" Zhao Minghe continued after drinking two sips of water.

"The Hall of All Souls doesn't cook meals at night, so they generally don't eat them," Lin Jieyu said.

"It's okay, although people in the Hall of All Souls can't cook, but I can. Don't worry."

"No one is worried at all, okay?" Lin Jieyu thought that Zhao Minghe would go back to his general's mansion wisely, but he didn't expect this woman to be so thick-skinned.But just followed Zhao Minghe and took two steps toward the kitchen, but the woman hurriedly turned back and said. "There's no rush to cook, let me see that painting first."

Hearing Zhao Minghe's proposal, Lin Jieyu didn't have much reaction, turned around and led Zhao Minghe into the study.She held up the scroll to show Zhao Minghe.Seeing that Zhao Minghe's smiling face froze instantly.

"This……"

"What?" Lin Jieyu also looked sideways at the painting and asked.

"This painting is so beautiful." Zhao Minghe looked at himself in the painting who was wiping his sweat after the wind picked up a wry smile.

She marveled at Lin Jieyu's painting talent, and even more amazed at Lin Jieyu's instant memory.Obviously, when I wiped my sweat, it was just that moment, but I could draw the painting completely based on the memory of that moment.

only……

Standing there by myself, showing the meaning of this sky fan... and where is it?

She didn't draw a single stroke at all...

This woman is really dissatisfied with herself, did she do it on purpose...?

Lin Jieyu, who didn't have much expectation for the dinner, suddenly had an appetite after seeing a table of vegetarian food.She picked up a piece of green vegetables with her chopsticks, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is it delicious?" Zhao Minghe laughed as if he knew Lin Jieyu would have such a reaction.

"It's okay." Seeing Zhao Minghe's confident smile, Lin Jieyu replied reluctantly.

"If you like it, I will come to the General's Mansion often in the future, and I will make it for you."

"Master Zhao is trying to drive a wedge between me and Your Majesty again?" Lin Jieyu sneered.

"Lord Xie really misunderstood me." Seeing that Lin Jieyu was so wary of him, Zhao Minghe quickly picked up two chopsticks and put them into Lin Jieyu's bowl. "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Lin Jieyu looked at the food in his own bowl, then at Zhao Minghe's chopsticks, but finally ate the bowl of rice without saying anything.

When sending Zhao Minghe away, Lin Jieyu realized that he didn't know the reason for Zhao Minghe's visit, so he called out.

"Zhao Minghe."

"Huh?" Zhao Minghe swayed ahead and stopped only when Lin Jieyu called him.

"Why did you come to see me today?"

"Ah...so Master Xie still knows to ask." Hearing Lin Jieyu's question, Zhao Minghe suddenly laughed. "I thought Mr. Xie had forgotten about this."

Seeing that Lin Jieyu was silent, Zhao Minghe continued.

"I just wanted to see you."

"Look at me?" Lin Jieyu asked. "What's good about me."

"Everything looks good." Zhao Minghe smiled foolishly, then turned to look at Lin Jieyu. "I always feel that... the time is too short."

"what are you saying?"

"I'm talking..." Seeing that Lin Jieyu was puzzled, Zhao Minghe said again. "Explanation."

"Ok?"

"These days... Are you living...happy?"

"Which days?" Zhao Minghe was confused, Lin Jieyu asked.

"It's nothing..." Zhao Minghe laughed. "Just a casual question. Minghe is bothering you today, another day...Minghe treats you like a good student."

"It doesn't matter."

"Ah, by the way...and...that painting, you can keep it." Zhao Minghe added. "If you miss me anytime, you can take a look."

Lin Jieyu quietly followed behind Zhao Minghe without saying a word.The two of them just walked for a while, Zhao Minghe said suddenly.

"Just...let's stop here. Mr. Xie, please come back."

"Zhao..." Seeing that person walking towards the darkness without stopping, Lin Jieyu just wanted to stop her, but stopped again.

why call her...

What can I say after calling her?

Lin Jieyu couldn't think clearly about these questions, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the figure of the man had already disappeared into the night.
