Stranger and Chen in the Palace

Ling Yichen returned to Xihe Palace, wrapped the warm jade pillow and carried it on his back.

Lian Feng came in and stared at the former king, his master!

"Give it to me!" Ling Yichen said.

Lian Feng knelt down: "Let this subordinate go with you."

Ling Yichen shook his head and helped him up: "I want to find him by myself."

Lian Feng had no choice but to give him the letter paper with Xue Zimo's graveyard written on it.

Ling Yichen unfolded it and smiled softly.He is actually in Yangling, the hometown of his mother and concubine...

"This is a signal specially made by my subordinates. As long as you send it out in the market, someone will notify your subordinates. If you need anything, your subordinates will come to handle it for you."

Lian Feng took out a small iron pipe from his bosom and handed it to Ling Yichen.

Ling Yichen felt that he didn't need it, so he didn't want to accept it at first, but seeing Lian Feng's expectant face, it was finally his kindness, so he accepted it.

"Lianfeng, you stay in the palace and help me protect Luo'er. After the hidden guards are trained, hand them over to him. Before that, you have to worry more." Ling Yichen instructed.

In the past nine years, under the command of Lian Feng, the [-] imperial guards have become a real iron army.

Lian Feng nodded, and suddenly looked away, the light in her eyes was a little moist.

Ling Yichen looked at him and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

He should thank him, not to mention that Lian Feng had tried his best to protect him so many times, just because he blocked the sword for himself and disabled his left hand, he should also thank him.

It's just this thank you, and I only say it now.

After Ling Yichen finished speaking, he left Xihe Palace.

Lian Feng looked at him, the morning light turned his master's figure into black.

Tears fell in vain.

Rigorous training at a young age and many years of working as a secret guard have trained him to have an incomparably resolute character. Lian Feng thought that in this life, he would never be weak again.However, watching him leave at this moment, he felt so sad in his heart, even when Lian Huang left, he didn't feel so sad.

As soon as he left Xihe Palace, Ling Yichen saw Ling Luoying standing in front of him, and couldn't help sighing.He should say goodbye to this child, but he really doesn't know how to tell him...

Stepping up to her father, Ling Luoying asked, "Father, why?"

There are too many whys in his mind, why did he pass the position suddenly?

Why leave the palace?

Why don't you say goodbye?

Ling Yichen looked at him, and said softly: "Luo'er, Father is going to find someone."

"Then will you come back?" Ling Luoying asked.

Ling Yichen couldn't bear it, so he shook his head. Sooner or later, he would have to accept all this.

"You don't want Luo'er anymore?" Ling Luoying's tears fell instantly.

All along, the father who spoiled him to the sky, now, don't want him anymore!

Ling Yichen wiped away his tears for him, and said distressedly: "Luo'er, why would the father not want you, but the father wants to find the person he loves."

"Is that Mr. Xue?" Ling Luoying asked.

Ling Yichen was a little surprised, how could he know, he never told Luo'er, what else did he know?

Ling Luoying suddenly shouted: "I hate him—"

It was that person, him, who made his father leave him forever.

"How can you hate him, do you know that he is you—" Ling Yichen was so angry when he heard the words, he raised his hand and wanted to slap him, but he didn't let go...

Ling Luoying was dumbfounded. Ever since she was a child, her father was reluctant to say anything serious to him, but now because of that person, he actually wants to beat herself.

I couldn't help being stunned: "What is it me?"

Ling Yichen suddenly felt that he had overreacted. This child has listened to him very much since he was a child. If he didn't know that he would never come back, he would never be able to say such things.

Touching his head distressedly, Ling Yichen said sadly: "He is your father's favorite person, and you are your father's most beloved child, how can you hate him? If he knew, how sad he would be..."

As he spoke, his heart ached, "If he is still by your father's side, he will definitely love you more than your father. You can hate anyone, but you can't hate him. He is the best person in the world..."

Ling Luoying threw herself into Ling Yichen's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried, "Father, I don't hate him anymore, please don't leave, please, don't leave Luo'er..."

"Luo'er, you've grown up and don't need your father anymore, can you be stronger?"

Ling Yichen was also very sad. All these years, this child has been with him.He is that person's child, so he tried his best to treat him well, he really regarded him as his own child!

Ling Luoying hugged her for a long time before slowly letting go of Ling Yichen. He decided to let his father leave, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Not because he no longer needs his father when he grows up, not because he no longer needs his father if he wants to become stronger.

Over the years, he has seen with his own eyes how much his father misses that person. He doesn't understand how one person can make another person worry so much, but he doesn't want to watch his father suffer anymore...

Looking at the heartbroken Ling Luoying, Ling Yichen's heart ached so much, he told him: "Luo'er, after the father leaves, you must take good care of your fourth uncle's tomb, and remember to visit him every year for the father. Yes, you have to treat Shunde well, he has taken care of your father for many years, in the future you will take care of him for your father."

Luo Ying nodded with tears in her eyes, unable to speak.

He really didn't want his father to leave very much. When he thought that he would never see his father again, his heart felt like being cut by a knife.

Ling Yichen stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, gave him a reluctant look, and finally walked on.

Looking at Ling Yichen who was slowly disappearing at the end, Ling Luoying couldn't bear it any longer, and cried out heartbreakingly: "Father——"

Ling Yichen rode on the fastest horse in the palace, and drove to Yangling day and night, regardless of Xue Zimo's life or death, from then on, he followed him life and death...

Six days later, according to the address Lian Feng gave, Ling Yichen found Xue Zimo's secluded place.

It turned out that they were only six days away, but he had been looking for him for nine years.

Ling Yichen walked slowly into this cherry blossom forest, and as far as he could see, there were all blooming cherry blossoms in full bloom. He was in a vast sea of ​​flowers, which made him almost mistakenly think that he was still in the cherry garden.

He has been here for the past nine years?

Ling Yichen walked cautiously towards the bamboo house in front of him.

The warm wind blows, the cherry blossoms fly up and down in the sky, and the little pink keeps drifting past the green bamboo house...

It is as beautiful as a distant picture scroll, a picture scroll that does not belong to the world.

Is this the life he wants?

Ling Yichen suddenly remembered the thought that came to him when he played that piece in Yayi Academy at that time, to stay away from worldly troubles with the one he loves, and to grow old together...

Is this also his state of mind?

He has loved him for so many years, but he has always loved him in his own way.Never thought, never asked, what does he want?

If they let go and stayed away from him at the beginning, wouldn't they be together happily now?

Suddenly, Ling Yichen's footsteps stopped, and the bamboo house was in front of him, and there was a tomb next to the bamboo house.

He was stunned, and walked over slowly.

The tombstone is engraved: Xue Zimo's tomb, Lian Huangli.

Ling Yichen took a step back, no, the person he loves is in the house, how could he sleep in this cold tomb.Ling Yichen turned around and walked towards the bamboo house, but it was empty.

no, no one...

Ling Yichen stared blankly at everything in the bamboo house.

Although the bamboo house is small, it is quite elegant, very much like the study in his original prime minister's mansion.

No, Ling Yichen shook his head.

He didn't believe it, Lian Feng must have found the wrong place, otherwise why didn't he see him...

His vision began to blur, Ling Yichen lowered his head, closed his eyes and opened them, his vision became clear again, tears splashed down.

He walked quickly to the desk, and there was still an unfinished painting on it.

This situation is the same as when he visited his study at that time, except that this painting depicts the scenery he saw from a distance just now, and there is an inscription next to the painting.

Ling Yichen's pupils shrank suddenly, his writing was his writing!

He is living here!

He used to live here!

Suddenly looking at the tomb outside, Ling Yichen ran to the tomb like crazy.

Outside the bamboo house, under the cherry tree.

Xue Zimo's tomb!

Ling Yichen knelt down with a bang, and his world instantly collapsed...
