Chapter 530 Go back
She tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside. When she opened it and read it, Yan Fei looked sideways to observe her reaction, then looked away, walked a few steps casually, turned to the table, picked up a piece of pastry on the plate and tasted it. After one bite, he put the remaining half piece into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it. He picked up another piece of pastry and took a bite. He glanced at her again and saw that she had read a page of letters and replaced it. On the second page, I thought to myself, "Why should I write so long?"

Ye Lingxi read the letter and thought to himself. Seeing that she seemed like she couldn't think of him for a while, Yan Fei coughed slightly. When he saw her looking over, he put down the piece of pastry he had just picked up and asked without saying anything, "Have you finished reading?" She said yes He groaned, looked at the letter in his hand, looked at him again, walked over and handed the first page of the letter to him first.

When he saw the two words "Lingxi" at the beginning, Yan Fei frowned slightly. He felt a little unhappy and felt that this title was inappropriate. He continued to look down and frowned more and more. When he saw the last word, he frowned and remained silent for a long time. He reached out to ask her for the second page of the letter. She shook her head, and he felt a little angry. He restrained his impulse and tried to stay calm. "You don't want me to read it, or can't you show it to me?" She shook her head, The anger in his heart just started to surge, and she said, "You will get angry after seeing it, but I don't want you to be angry."

It turned out that he was afraid that he would be angry, and the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished.

"I'm not angry." He didn't believe it when he said it, but she still gave him the second page of the letter. As soon as he read two lines of words, his face turned livid, and the letter was crumpled before he could finish reading it. She took the letter out of his hand, walked to the censer next to it, opened the lid, and folded the two pages. The letters were ignited, and when the flames almost reached her fingertips, her other hand reached out and pulled the letters out of her hand. The two-page letter fell into the incense burner along with the ashes and was burned.

When Yanfei closed the lid of the incense burner, there was a soft sound, which brought her back from her wandering thoughts. She looked up at him and smiled. He swallowed the words he wanted to ask and reached out to hug her. into her arms, not wanting anyone to take her away from her again.

Yan Lianjue and Ye Lingjue, whether they are the same person or different, don't even think about taking them away from him!

Some scenes from the past emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but want to explore what she was thinking. How much weight did that person occupy in her heart? Was it more or less than him?
He hugged her tighter, and she seemed to feel the struggle and entanglement, pain and hesitation in his heart. She also hugged him tighter and whispered in his ear, "I won't go with him. When everything is over, you can take me away to explore the world, go to the south of the Yangtze River and beyond the Great Wall, and see all the scenery in the world, okay?" He answered, his chest rising and falling violently, and joy and fear flashed alternately. , she had said this to herself a long time ago. Did she remember it all, but why didn't she tell him when she remembered it?
What does it mean when everything is over? What is she hiding? Sometimes he really wants to pry her head open to see what thoughts are inside...

When it got dark, Yanfei left the city and rushed back to the camp.

At the third watch, the Qi army actually crossed the river. After landing, they slapped their armor and shields and shouted loudly, as if thousands of troops and horses were fighting.

The Red Armored Army was ambushing in the highlands on both sides and would immediately release signal flares to counterattack if anything unusual was discovered.

It was not until dawn that the shouting and killing sounds on the shore subsided. In the hazy morning fog, the fleet returned to the other shore.

The next day, Li Chengyuan left with his army and returned to the royal capital.

In the afternoon, the Xiao family's merchant ship came from Yuzhou to pick up Xiao Yun.

Two days later, King Pingnan heard news from the north that Xiyan also withdrew its troops.

King Pingnan felt very strange and didn't know what Qi Guo and Xi Yan had planned.

The next morning, Jingzhe brought a group of Xuanyi troops to pick them up. Ye Lingxi did not return to the north, so Jingzhe repeated to her what Murongze told her, "If the princess is unwilling to go back now, the master is willing to give her more Three months later, the master came to pick her up in person and handed her another box.

At the gate of Haitang Garden, those young hands grabbed her clothes and asked her when she would go back. She knelt down and whispered a few words to him. Murong Xi raised his hand to hook up with her, using two thumbs, one big and one small. Stamped. Hongxing came over and took Murong Xi away, telling Jingzhe to leave quickly so as not to find a place to live when it gets dark. Jingzhe bowed to Ye Lingxi and said goodbye, while Hongxing had already left with Murong Xi in hand. She stood at the door for a while, turned around and saw Yan Fei standing not far behind her. She walked towards him, and he glanced at the brocade box in her hand. She stood in front of him and stared into his eyes. , did not speak, as if trying to find some clues from those eyes. Are you jealous or angry?

He also looked at those clear, slightly cunning eyes. After a while, he asked her if she would go back with him. She nodded and said yes.

After returning to the house, she opened the box, which contained a purple hibiscus flower and a jade flute. Yan Fei glanced at the flower and the flute, and his eyes deepened. She took out the flute and left the flowers in the box. This flute was a gift given to her by Concubine Zi. Later, when she was in Xiuzhou City, Zhenpo told her that it was the Shark flute. She had brought this flute to the north, and now Murong Zeyou specifically asked Jingzhe to send it here for what purpose?

Yanfei had seen this flute before and knew that it was given to her by Concubine Zi, but he didn't like the flower. Seeing that she didn't care about the flower, he didn't care about it.

There was a poem engraved on this flute. When she first saw it, she thought it was a poem. But when she looked carefully, she found that she didn't recognize the words on it. When she showed it to Yan Fei, he couldn't recognize it either. It's not the writing of Qi or Xi Yan, it looks like oracle bone inscriptions, like very ancient writing.

Now that she saw these words, she effortlessly recognized their meaning, which was actually the Jingxin Jue! A piece of music sounded in her mind, mixed with the whispers of a disembodied voice, and she tried her best to suppress the voice. Yanfei saw that something was wrong with her, so he took the flute from her hand, helped her sit down, and said that he would keep the flute for now.

In the afternoon of that day, Ye Lanchen's decree arrived in the southern border and summoned Ye Xingye back to the capital.

Ye Xingye came to say goodbye to Meng Jingxiu, and she also came to him. They met on the way, but they didn't know what to say for a moment. Look at me, I'll look at you. Meng Jingxiu spoke first and said, "What if you now?" If you have time, I'll take you for a walk on the street." Ye Xingye said hurriedly, his face full of joy.

The street has returned to its usual liveliness. The evening is the most pleasant time of the day. The busy day is over. The men, women, and children out for a walk all look comfortable and relaxed. The evening breeze is slightly intoxicating and the fragrance of flowers is slightly warm. Everything is... Just right.

The two of them walked slowly along the street. At first they were looking for something to say, but then they stopped talking. They felt closer than when they talked, and their steps gradually became consistent. It was as if they had realized a tacit understanding of spiritual connection, even if they didn't. Even when we talk, we don’t feel alienated from each other. Instead, we feel closer in our hearts.

When we returned to the palace, it was getting dark. When she was approaching the gate, Meng Jingxiu suddenly stopped and raised her hand to take out a hairpin from her head and handed it to him. Ye Xingye held her hand as he took it, with a thousand words in his heart. The words were about to rush out, and finally they condensed into three words, "Don't worry." She took out her hand and ran away with her face red. When she returned to her residence, her heartbeat was still a little fast. She saw herself in the bronze mirror with the corners of her mouth turned up. My eyes are smiling, and my heart is as sweet as if a piece of candy has melted. After I am so happy, I feel a sense of melancholy. I wonder if my wish will come true in the future?

……

Early the next morning, Tong'er saw a figure outside the door. When she came over and saw Ye Xingye, she couldn't help being a little surprised. She was about to salute when he stopped him. He held a brocade box in his hand and handed it to Tong'er, asking her to give it to Meng Jingxiu. After Tong'er returned to the house with her things, he was still waiting outside the door. About half a quarter of an hour later, Tong'er came out again, hurriedly walked over and handed him a folded note and then left. Ye Xingye opened the note and looked at it, his face suddenly filled with joy.

After breakfast, King Pingnan personally escorted Ye Xingye out of the city. After leaving the city, Fang Tang led people to escort him for a while. After Ye Xingye settled in the next town, Fang Tang led people back.

On the way, Yanfei had already decided where Ye Lingxi would live. When Ye Xingye asked him, he didn't say anything, as if he was afraid that Ye Xingye would go to visit him if something happened.

The journey went smoothly, and the group returned to the capital without any problems.
