Chapter 16 Painting Boat

Jing Wan'er's breathing changed from heavy to light. Although she couldn't see Pei Tan behind her, she knew it was him.

On the bow of the boat, the only person she saw was him.

When Pei Tan entered the palace, he naturally wore official clothes in order to face the saint. The sleeves of the robe of the Sanpin Dali Temple, in the wind on the bow of the painting boat, were so stirred...... Jing Wan'er's eyes.

"Are you, Lord Pei?" She asked, as if cautiously trying to get confirmation.

Jing Wan'er really couldn't believe that it was such a coincidence, she fled tonight, and she would meet Pei Tan in the palace.

And Pei Tan, although he kidnapped Jing Wan'er, he later found that she was wearing palace maid clothes. A palace maid appeared in the Taiye pool late at night?

Just when he also felt that something was wrong, he heard this palace maid ask.

I can still feel the caution in those words.

Pei Tan finally felt that something was wrong, and was pressed to the neck by the dagger, but the woman was not afraid, but immediately called out his identity.

After Pei Tan was silent for a long time, he said, "How do you know this official?" ”

Those who are familiar with Pei Tan know that he almost never uses the title of "Ben Guan".

He still maintains the habits of Pei's son many times, and the polite "Pei" makes people feel comfortable.

Jing Wan'er couldn't describe her feelings, even if she was pointed at with a dagger, she felt more comfortable than any moment in the past five years.

Although Pei Tan also couldn't see Jing Wan'er's expression, the senses of people in the dark were extremely keen, and he could feel that the little palace maid who was pointing the dagger at him not only did not have a trace of fear, but even if he knew his identity, he did not have the slightest sense of panic.

Pei Tan thought he was a gentleman, he originally thought he was a thief in the Daming Palace, but he was a weak woman. And this woman was still wet, and then he was pointed at by a big man with the tip of a knife, Pei Tan couldn't help frowning, and at that moment he let go of his hand.

Jing Wan'er felt that the coldness in her neck was gone, and immediately reached out to touch it, and sure enough, there was no dagger left.

At this time, she finally dared to turn her body in silence, the corners of her mouth hooked a trace of arc and raised her head, Pei Tan had already taken out the fire fold from the other sleeve at this time, and shook it, and the two saw each other for the first time in this faint light.

Pei Tan was slightly surprised, a beautiful face beyond imagination, Jing Wan'er also saw Pei Tan for the first time, a younger face than she imagined, and it was his right hand wrapped in gauze that was holding the fire fold.

"It's really Master Pei......" Jing Wan'er muttered.

Pei Tan looked her up and down, and just as he was about to inquire further, he suddenly felt the entire painting boat shake violently.

Jing Wan'er was also taken aback by this change.

Pei Tan held the fire fold and saw her, and subconsciously looked up at the outside of the chamber, with a pale look on his face that had not appeared when he was pointed at with a dagger just now.

Then Pei Tan knew what had happened, and the painting boat automatically docked.

He seemed to have been floating all night on this pool of liquid.

The peace of the night was broken, and countless noisy voices came from outside the painting boat, and someone shouted: "Who is in the painting boat!?" Come out now! ”

The voice was like a palace guard, cold and stern.

And Jing Wan'er must be the person who searched all night, and she didn't expect to find it even here.

The matter of the miscellaneous servant's room running away from the palace maid has spread all over the Daming Palace this night, and all the guards in the palace poured out of the nest in order to catch a little palace maid without wings.

"A few people, go into the painting boat and search!" Pei Tan heard someone outside.

The front and back of the painting boat are accessible, and there are only five wings in total, so it is not difficult to search at all.

And listening to the sound, they must have uploaded it from the bow of the ship, and they will start searching from there.

At this time, the palace maid in front of him suddenly took a step closer and stared at him with burning eyes: "...... Master Pei, has Zong Huo escaped from Chang'an? ”

All the voices outside add up, and there is no such girlish sound as deafening.

Pei Tan looked at her quickly. Jing Wan'er's eyes were extremely bright, even a bit like the stars in the dark night, which contained things that no one could imagine.

In this world, there is only one palace maid who will care about whether Zong Huo is alive or not.

Pei Tan's heart was almost bright.

Outside the painting boat, there was a meaningful sound: "Look at the painting boat, how can there be water stains on the ground?" ”

Jing Wan'er was soaking wet, and when she came up from the bottom of the water, the water stains on the ground were naturally left on her body.

I saw that Pei Tan suddenly extinguished the fire in his hand, raised his foot and pushed open the door of the wing.

The guards of the Daming Palace who were searching were indeed gathered on the bow of the ship at this moment.

Pei Tan stood with his back to Jing Wan'er, and his voice was as soft as a floating cloud: "Hide inside and don't come out." ”

Then the door of the wing room closed in front of Jing Wan'er, and the sound of Pei Tan going away came from outside.

When Pei Tan's figure gradually appeared in the painting boat, the guards who searched were all stunned.

Pei Tan's three-grade official uniform was not fake, and his indifferent walking figure also made the searchers dare not advance or retreat for a while.

"You are?" The guard who took the lead had dark eyes and stared at Pei Tan.

After Pei Tan's figure appeared on the bow of the ship, he saw that on the shore, it was densely packed, and all of them were standing with Qianniuwei wearing silver armor.

One of them had a faint gaze: "It turned out to be Lord Dali Temple...... How can adults be in this boat? ”

Pei Tan looked at the person who spoke, "This official entered the palace last night, and he was delayed too late, thanks to His Majesty's kindness, he stayed in the palace overnight." ”

"So that's the case...... the eyes of the person headed by him moved, "Dare to ask if there is only Master Pei alone in the painting boat?" ”

So how to explain this water stain?

Pei Tan said lightly: "The official has been floating in the Taiye Pool alone on the painting boat for a long time, and the water is turbulent at night, which wets the stern." ”

The leader had a faint and deep gaze, but he did not express any belief in Pei Tan's words.

After a while, the man sneered: "I'm also on a mission, I don't know if Master Pei can allow me to go in and search the painting boat, if there is no one, I'll wait." ”

Pei Tan's eyes were gloomy, and he said for a while: "Please." ”

The leader laughed and said, "In that case, I'll wait ......."

"Wait!"

A shrill voice with anger came from the crowd.

The eunuch who followed Pei Tan last night hurriedly lined up the crowd and appeared in front of Pei Tan.

When he saw Pei Tan standing alone on the bow of the boat, the eunuch seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Lord Pei, Your Majesty asked the slave to ask, have you enjoyed your night tour of the lake?" ”

Pei Tan's face remained unchanged: "Very happy." ”

The eunuch accompanied a smiling face: "That's good, the minion's task is also completed." ”

Although the Taiye Pool is large, it will inevitably float here if it drifts down the river, and this eunuch seems to have been waiting at this end early.

The guards in the palace, when they saw the eunuchs beside Zhongzong, they were a little more cautious.

The eunuch looked at the crowd for a while, and his face turned cold:

"Lord Pei got His Majesty's personal promise to take a painting boat to enjoy the tour on this Taiye Pool, you searched people to find here, and also alarmed Lord Pei, don't you even have to doubt the truth of Your Majesty's will?"

The guards immediately knelt in a circle and said in fear: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

The eunuch said impatiently: "Go, go, hurry up and search elsewhere, remember, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" ”

If you enter the palace one day, you will be a maid for life, and you will die within the walls of this palace when you die.

When everyone dispersed, the desperation on the eunuch's face was replaced by a flattering smile.

"By the way, Master Pei, you see that the day is almost bright, Your Majesty asked the servants to send you out of the palace, don't delay the adult's business."

Pei Tan looked at the eunuch, "Okay, let Pei clean up a little." ”

The eunuch smiled with a smile on his face: "That's natural." ”

Pei Tan turned around again and entered the painting boat.

Jing Wan'er has been leaning against the door of the wing, and she has basically listened to the movement outside, and when she heard Pei Tan's footsteps, she subconsciously stepped back.

Pei Tan pushed the door in and saw Jing Wan'er standing staring at each other.

Jing Wan'er was soaked all over her body, including her shoes and socks, and she would inevitably be caught as long as she went out.

Pei Tan looked at her: "Next, you listen to me." ”

……

When the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the eunuch had already led Pei Tan and walked on the road of the outer palace road.

Not far ahead, there is the gate out of the palace.

Pei Tan paused and said to the eunuch: "Just send it here, when the official entered the palace, he had already let the personal guards and carriages stop not far from the palace gate and wait." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then the slave will leave." ”

Pei Tan said: "There is Father-in-law Lao. ”

After the eunuch saluted, he turned around and returned to the palace road, Pei Tan continued to walk forward, and saw the palace gate getting closer and closer.

The attendant Pei Xian was indeed guarding the carriage and waiting near the Wenchang Gate.

And Pei Tan didn't come out all night, and he waited faithfully, without the slightest intention of leaving.

But just after the hour, Pei Xian saw a thin eunuch, walking all the way to him and the carriage with his head down.

At this time, the palace road was dim and empty, and this little eunuch naturally looked dazzling.

But Pei Xian thought that it might be that his son-in-law was in the palace and temporarily passed on something to him. Just like last night, a eunuch came to tell him temporarily that Pei Tan would stay in the palace until dawn and let him wait.

Just look at the thin eunuch, approaching the carriage step by step.

Pei Xian finally noticed that the eunuch's feet were extremely delicate, and they were clearly slender ankles that only women have.

Pei Xian suddenly held one hand on the knife, and looked at the approaching "eunuch" with sharp eyes.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, the eunuch finally arrived, and "he" raised a face, all of which were panicked: "Is it Lord Pei's guard?" …… It was Master Pei who told me to come to you! ”

This sentence made Pei Xian's hand holding the knife suddenly let go.

This "little eunuch" was pretended to be Jing Wan'er, and she recalled when Pei Tan returned to the painting boat:

She saw Pei Tan walk directly to a box in the corner of the wing room and pull out a piece of clothing from it.

The clothes were thrown to Jing Wan'er, and she saw that they were not women's clothes at all, but a green robe of the eunuch in the palace.

"Put on this dress and wait for me at Wenchang Gate."
