Brocade tears

Spike wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sucked her nose.Patting Han Jiaer who was still weeping comfortingly, she turned around and introduced to Meng Yan and Bai Yuyin who had been silently watching the three of them embracing and crying:

"These two are my friends in the palace, Lu Jingshi and Han Jiaer. Shitou and Jiaer, this is Meng Baihu's younger sister, Meng Yan, Doctor Meng, and this is... the unmarried sister-in-law of the Meng family, Bai Yuyin."

Meng Yan knew Sui'er's story very well, and Bai Yuyin also understood it in the past two days.So as soon as they heard the name, they realized who it was.Lu Jingshi and Han Jiaer saluted Meng and Bai, and the two returned the salute.Sui'er couldn't find a better way to introduce Bai Yuyin's identity for a while, so she could only say she was sister-in-law.As for whose fiancée it is, she really can't explain it right now, the reasons are too complicated, and it's not prudent to say it here.She considered waiting for the right time before explaining the Meng family's situation to her two friends in detail.

When everyone was seated, Sui'er didn't gossip, cut directly to the topic, and asked, "How did you get out of the palace? Would Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju let you go? Did you expose yourself?"

Han Jiaer replied: "Sister Huier, don't worry. Zhang Cheng let us out this time. Of course he will let us out, which means that we have been exposed that we are with you. But Chen Ju knows It’s hard to say if you don’t know, even if you didn’t know it at the time, I’m afraid you’ve figured it out now.”

"Is it Luo Xun and Guo Dayou's mediation?" Sui'er responded and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes." Lu Jingshi nodded.

"Zhang Cheng should have made a condition. What is the agreement between them?" Sui'er asked.

Lu Jingshi replied: "I don't know the specifics. The two of us were not at the negotiation site, and we were not informed of the content of the agreement. But Luo Qianhu mentioned Zhang Cheng's purpose to us. It is not that he sent someone to guard you outside the palace. I wanted to send you back to the palace, but to protect you. Because Zhang Cheng knew that Fang Ming belonged to Chen Ju, and when he realized that the person who planned to let you out of the palace was Fang Ming, he realized that you were in danger. So he sent Nanya Jinyiwei Liu Kenan to lead people to guard the gate of the palace to stop you and prevent you from reuniting with Fang Ming's people. But because it was too late, he didn't communicate with you beforehand, you saw They ran away, and they were obstructed by other dark lines arranged by Fang Ming in the city, and they lost you."

Sui'er frowned, Lu Jingshi's statement suddenly overturned her previous cognition and speculation.Because Liu Kenan had been trying to catch her before, he waited in Bingmasi Hutong, and locked Meng Kuang and Guo Dayou in the cellar, conflicting with Zhan Yu and others who came to protect her, it really made her preconceived Treat them as enemies.But thinking about it carefully now, it seems that none of these can prove that Liu Kenan's position is hostile to him.Sui Er was somewhat skeptical, so she confirmed:

"If that's the case, why did Zhang Cheng protect me?"

As soon as she asked this question, she thought of the answer, and Lu Jingshi and Han Jiaer also said the answer at the same time:

"Zhang Cheng belongs to the Empress Dowager, and he is acting under the orders of the Empress Dowager."

"It's not he who wants to protect you, it's the queen mother who wants to protect you."

Sui'er's eyes fluctuated, she couldn't help touching her forehead, and was silent for a moment.After a while she said:

"The queen mother really knows about our plan to leave the palace..."

"This was originally her acquiescence. It is so easy for me to be promoted to the inner prison. Zhang Cheng and Zhang Shujing are both following orders, and there must be orders from the Queen Mother behind them. The Queen Mother secretly opened the door for our plan." Lu Jingshi sighed.

"After you left the palace, if the Queen Mother hadn't protected me and Jing Shi, how could we survive to leave the palace today. Zhang Cheng sent us out now to prevent us from falling into Chen Ju's hands, so that Chen Ju wouldn't catch us. It's very detrimental to you to do things outside if you are under threat. The Empress Dowager knows you too well, and knows that you value friendship and can't let go of your friends." Han Jiaer reached out to hold Sui'er's hand, and Sui'er pursed her lips, and her eyes flashed again. There were tears.

"Why...why didn't the queen mother explain it directly to us?" Sui'er couldn't help but said, "I know she has difficulties, but I really don't understand that she is trying so hard to protect me secretly, but she doesn't want to confess to me openly. , but pretend to be indifferent to me, why on earth?"

"The empress dowager has a deep mind, especially after Zhang Taiyue's death, her mind has become more and more elusive. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it has a lot to do with your life experience, and also has a lot to do with Zhang Taiyue's hidden secrets. She must be on guard Maybe you are guarding against Zheng's prying eyes. This struggle surrounding you is destined to start outside the palace. In the palace, the queen mother must not let herself become a target first, so that she can help you secretly. Zheng The imperial concubine also has to pretend that she doesn't care about you on the surface, but in fact she has to make arrangements secretly. Maybe this struggle has already started since the time when His Majesty made love to you." Han Jia'er said, this is what she came to do with Lu Jingshi these days Discuss ideas.

Sui Er nodded, only this explanation was more reasonable.She said: "So, Concubine Gong has actually become a shield for the Empress Dowager, a trick used by the Empress Dowager."

"Yes, Concubine Gong knows our overall plan, and only she will disclose it to the Queen Mother." Lu Jingshi said.

"How is Concubine Gong doing recently?" Sui'er was still concerned after all. After all, Concubine Gong was also considered one of her benefactors in the palace. They had been with each other for a long time. Although they used each other, they also relied on each other. .Sui'er has always sympathized with Concubine Gong's situation, she knows that Concubine Gong's life in the palace may not be easy now.

Han Jia'er sighed and said, "What else can I do? She's just like her old self. In the cold palace, she has no popularity. She hasn't seen the eldest son of the emperor for a long time, and she looks forward to seeing her son every day. The eldest son of the emperor Now they are also being neglected, and both mother and son are being bullied."

The room fell silent for a while, Meng Yan and Bai Yuyin quietly listened to their discussions about palace affairs, unable to interrupt for a while.It's just that the content of their conversation, listening to it, also makes people horrified and sad. The intrigue in this palace is far beyond their imagination.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Sui Er got up to open the door, and saw Meng Kuang standing outside, so she immediately let her in.After Meng Kuang came in, he looked at Lu Jingshi and Bai Yuyin, hesitating for a while, wondering whether he should speak or not.Seeing this, Sui Er said:

"You can talk, it's fine." Sui'er said.

Meng Kuang nodded, took off his mask, and said, "Everyone will sleep on the boat tonight, so don't let your guard down. You will be on duty at night to prevent any pursuers from touching the boat. The boatman will only board the boat tomorrow morning, and we are the only ones on board tonight." On the boat, if you see outsiders, you must be careful."

Jin Yiwei took off his vicious mask in front of him, revealing an extraordinary handsome face, which already surprised Han Jiaer, but when she suddenly heard a female voice, Han Jiaer was so surprised that he couldn't react.And Lu Jingshi also reconfirmed his guess about Meng Kuang's identity.Before that, he and Meng Kuang met face to face in the palace prison. Meng Kuang once spoke to him with a breathy voice. At that time, he recognized a female voice, but he didn't dare to confirm it completely.Now, he has settled his mind.

About Meng Kuang and Meng Shisan, Lu Jingshi and Han Jiaer's understanding is very limited. Apart from the occasional rumors in the palace that he is the new thirteenth Taibao, it is the simple thing that Luo Xun did to Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang when they left the palace. introduction.They know that Meng Shisan and Sui Er have a relationship, they have known each other many years ago, they also know that the two have developed feelings, and they have decided to stay together for a lifetime.It's just... Now that they realize that they are actually women in love, this really shocked Lu Jingshi and Han Jiaer for a moment.

It is true that there is no shortage of palace maids eating each other, but it is more like a sisterhood, supporting each other until the end of life, and there are very few real love between men and women, at least the two of them have not seen it yet.Now that Sui Er has left the palace, it would not be difficult for her to marry a man, but she still chooses to stay with a woman disguised as a man. This may be due to her true feelings and her determination.As for Meng Shisan, he was able to help and protect Sui'er wholeheartedly, regardless of his own future, even when he left the capital city where he had lived for many years for her and his family, and went wandering outside.

So after being shocked, the two couldn't help being moved. Such a sincere relationship is a rare thing in the world.

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at her, Meng Kuang felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She put on the mask again and said:

"Are you hungry? There is a stove on this boat, as well as rice, grain, and vegetables. I'll cook something for you."

"I'm hungry, sister, go and order some noodles, cook more, each of us has a bowl. Sister Xiaosui, go and help sister." Meng Yan said suddenly.

"No need, I myself..." Meng Kuang waved his hand. She didn't want to trouble Sui'er to do something, but she never wanted to be interrupted by Sui'er:

"Well, let's go, I'll help you." While speaking, her beautiful eyes stared at Meng Kuang, and the amber pupils were full of emotion.Meng Kuang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and woke up immediately, his sister was creating a chance for the two of them to be alone.Ever since the two of them established their relationship, they haven't had much chance to get along with each other, either because they were fleeing for their lives, or because the elders in the family didn't want to get too close.Now on the boat, the opportunities to get along along the way are very limited.

Thinking of this, Meng Kuang felt sore, and regardless of how many people were present, he took Sui'er's hand and pulled her out of the room amidst everyone's kind smiles.Lu Jingshi immediately got up, ready to go to the room where the men lived next door to tidy up the bed and luggage, Han Jiaer accompanied him.For a while, only Meng Ai and Bai Yuyin were left in the room. Bai Yuyin glanced at Meng Ai beside her, raised her hand to hold her hand, and said:

"Commander Zhan is a lover and keeps his promises. I guess you will meet again soon."

Meng Yan suddenly panicked, and said, "Sister Bai, what are you talking about, I have no relationship with Commander Zhan..." At this point, he couldn't continue.

"No?" Bai Yuyin raised her eyebrows and asked back, "I saw you secretly wiping tears in the carriage today, are you really not emotional?"

Meng Yan was silent, and then sighed: "It would be a lie to say that there is no emotion. But it is not enough to say that he is as affectionate as my sister and Xiaosui. I just think he is a bit silly and cute, and he is straightforward. , I didn’t know how to turn, and I didn’t look back when I bumped into the south wall. I just did what I decided to do. I just didn’t expect... I thought I could leave the capital quietly, but I bumped into him at the end, and he followed The back of the carriage called me, thinking that we might never see each other again, I felt very uncomfortable at the time."

Bai Yuyin didn't speak, just smiled and stroked the back of her hand to comfort her.

……

Meng Kuang was using a ladle to transfer the water stored in the kitchen tank into the iron pot.The pot in the ship's galley is placed on a brazier, not an earthen stove, and the heat is a bit difficult to control.Sui'er carefully lit a fire with a cattail fan, but her eyes fell on Meng Kuang through the smoke.Meng Kuang wore a narrow-sleeved military uniform with a black border, white cotton and linen collar, iron wrist guards tied around her wrists, a leather armed belt around her waist, and she carried the pistol that she never left.With her back facing her, the Shura mask could only see the bound part of the back of her head, the tall and beautiful figure appeared in front of her eyes, making her heart beat eagerly.Tired of running around and restraining each other these days, she realized that she hadn't been hugged by her in a long time, and she immediately wanted her to hug her and kiss her.This thought couldn't be suppressed all at once, her heart seemed to be on fire, and the eyes she looked at Meng Kuang became more and more scorching.

"Sui'er, go and see if there are any noodles, I'll light the fire. It's true, Ai'er, if you want to eat noodles, there's anything you want on this boat." Meng Kuang saw that Sui'er was smothered in smoke I was a little confused, so I quickly put down the ladle to help.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got close to Sui'er, Sui'er suddenly hooked her back and slipped into her arms.Meng Kuang took a breath, and the feeling of love overflowed like a warm spring in his heart.She hugged her back and asked with a soft smile:

"what happened?"

Sui'er didn't answer, and Meng Kuang didn't ask any more questions. She held her tightly in her arms and stroked the top of her hair with her chin.

"Your mask is so disgusting, take it off." Sui'er suddenly raised her eyes and said, looking at her dissatisfied.

Meng Kuang smiled, but he didn't want to let go of the arms holding her, so Sui'er raised his hand to the back of her head, and unbuttoned the mask behind her head.As soon as she took off her mask, Meng Kuang bowed his head and kissed her.Sui'er raised her head to meet her kiss, the moment her lips met, the turmoil in Sui'er's heart was finally relieved, she couldn't do without her, even if she was by her side, she was also longing for every moment Every moment of intimacy.It was really exhausting, but she enjoyed it.

Outside the kitchen door, Guo Dayou covered his mouth and tiptoed away, thinking: Meng Shisan should change his nickname of "Teng Dao Shura" to "Teng Dao Love Sage".Brat, asking him to take a woman on missions is simply making me uncomfortable.
