I was placed in a very nice cabin, one in the sky and one in the ground compared to the previous merchant ships. Zheng He retreated respectfully after inviting me in, I knew that he was still polite to me at this time, it was nothing more than Zhu Di ordering him to come out to look for me, not really because I was the queen of the previous dynasty.

I don't need to be a cook anymore, not only that, but my mother-in-law also brings me three meals a day. Zheng He did not restrict my freedom, and in the vast sea, even if I wanted to, I had nowhere to escape. If I hid, I could only hide in the boat, and I would always be searched, so I couldn't even try, there was no point in doing it.

What's more, after the grief, I plan to go back. I am powerless to reverse the uncertainties and things that have happened, no matter how many tears I shed, I can't start from the beginning, and there are too many memories in my brain, and some things are only a little impression, but what is certain is that Yue'er is in Zhu Di's hands, and I can't leave my son to die alone.

When Aunt Qin saw me again, she only dared to watch from afar, and she did not dare to send me on the same mission as before, including the mothers-in-law who had worked with me on merchant ships before, and they all looked at me with doubts in their eyes. They may not be able to figure out why I have become a guest on this official ship in an instant, and everyone from adults to officers and men has been very polite to me.

Fortunately, I'm not a silky beauty, otherwise I'm afraid they would have to think otherwise.

Zheng He said that it would take two months to return to the shore, so he had to spend both months on the ship. I'm silent about it, it may be a torment, as time goes by, those lost memories are filled in one by one and gradually straightened out.

I was reluctant to get out of the hatch and I couldn't eat much. Turning a deaf ear to external affairs, the food sent in was almost untouched and brought out, Zheng He came to persuade but was indifferently reprimanded by me, he left a sentence for me: Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Second Highness.

But he didn't know that I was about to lose confidence in seeing Yue'er, was such a self still qualified to be Yue'er's mother?

One day I woke up from a deep sleep and felt very heavy, and when I opened my eyes and lay down on the bed for a while, I found that the ship seemed to be stopped, and there was a commotion outside, and I don't know what had happened. After I got on this boat, Zheng He has been ordering the people under him to return at full speed, and they are still moving at a constant speed at night. Got up and walked to the hatch, it was not yet dawn, but there was a fire on the deck, and there were many people gathering.

I didn't plan to go out to investigate, but I suddenly caught a glimpse of Aunt Qin's figure and just turned around, the face under the firelight was full of horror, and the eyes were full of fear. frowned, I had seen Aunt Qin's capable appearance, and I had never seen her so frightened.

After hesitating, I pushed open the hatch and walked out, walked behind Aunt Qin and called her softly, she looked back and saw that I looked like I wanted to control it, I couldn't help asking, "What happened?" ”

Aunt Qin replied with a frightened face: "This official ship has hit the rocks. ”

Hit the rocks? Just hit the reef? "Is it serious?" I'm not familiar with sailing, and I don't know if it's a particularly serious marine accident. Qin Gu shook her head, "It's not terrible to run aground, it's scary because I just heard from their crew that they saw a big black ship moving in front of the course before they hit the reef on the night voyage, but the ship suddenly disappeared after our ship's tentacles." ”

I didn't understand where her fear came from, "Maybe the ship has changed course?" The night is so thick that it's normal to not see it when the distance is extended. ”

"No, that's not normal. There is a legend at sea that a ship always appears in the dark and disorients nearby ships as it passes, and some people have seen ships that originally sailed in a straight line go back and forth in a sea area all night long, and when the ship sank at dawn. So the legendary ship was called the Ship of Death. ”

And this kind of statement? Although Aunt Qin said it very seriously, I still think it is a little alarmist, "You also said that it is a legend, so it is estimated that there are some rumors." ”

"It's not a rumor." Aunt Qin's eyes were sloppy, "I experienced it once, it was three months ago, and almost our whole ship was gone. "I was shocked when I heard this, is it really so terrifying? Before I could ask Aunt Qin, she began to speak again, as if the secret had been kept in my heart for too long and she was in a hurry to tell it: "At that time, our ship was supposed to be suspended at night, and suddenly in the middle of the night the wind broke out and it seemed that a storm was coming, and before it was dark, we saw a mountain island about five miles away, and the captain proposed to sail there to avoid the storm. But we went around the sea for more than an hour but could not find the island, and the captain said that we were afraid that we had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and suddenly someone shouted that there was a night ship sailing ahead. ”

At this she paused suddenly, and her lips trembled.

I couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, our ship followed the night boat to leave the area, and it was clear that we had been following the ship for a distance of about dozens of feet, and we didn't feel that time had passed, as if we were only in a trance, and everyone woke up like a dream until the ship hit the mountain, and the sky was already dawning. At that time, the ship had a big hole, and if we hadn't come to our senses, the whole ship would have sunk. ”

How does this sound like a paranormal event? Looking at Aunt Qin's appearance doesn't look like a lie, if it's true, then it's really a bit weird. I couldn't comfort myself, so I walked around to see if there was a night boat in motion as they said.

Suddenly, Aunt Qin said again: "They said that the ship was actually a ghost at sea, and they were specifically looking for a sea ship to ask for their lives." ”

I shuddered, and I felt a little creepy when she said it, and immediately turned around and walked to my cabin. Seeing that the hatch was near, someone suddenly knocked me back a few steps, and before I could react, I felt a strong force behind me pull me back, and I opened my mouth to shout but was covered again. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure something is going to happen to me, and at this time I can only attract Zheng He or save me, but the ship's impact on the reef has drawn everyone's attention to the bow of the ship, and no one has noticed me at all.

His gaze suddenly crossed the sky, and a masked black figure was seen in the reversed perspective. I was dragged from the deck, and struggled, and the next moment I was covered from head to toe in a burlap bag and lifted up, and suddenly my heart fell into the hollow and gave up any resistance.

It's that after suffering too many strong blows from fate, I have no intention of fighting against fate anymore, so be it.

I didn't know where I was taken in the dark, and when I felt my body being put down and wandered away, I suddenly sighed and said, "Yan Qi." ”

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and even the air suddenly fell silent.

I was in a calm mood in the silence, and little by little I got out of the sack, and my eyes suddenly opened up and stared at the back by the door. "Don't you say something?" The figure shuddered as I asked, then slowly turned.

Even if the scale of fate is tilted, there is a strong feeling the moment he approaches me, and this feeling has been felt when he met Zheng He. He was always on Zheng He's ship, and he often looked at me, not to mention that he was with me, at least I felt it. When I saw his image in the reversed perspective just now, I recognized it almost immediately, Yan Qi, don't come to harm?

The face revealed by pulling down the mask has more vicissitudes, and there are more profound emotions in his eyes, and he is no longer the young man I looked like when I first met. Speaking of which, I really think about it, and I have witnessed how many people have changed from teenagers to men over the years.

He finally spoke, but it was, "We're looking for you." ”

I was slightly stunned, even he was looking for me? Wait a minute, he said...... We? "Who are you?" Almost waiting with bated breath for his answer, but he turned his gaze away and said: "As long as it is on this navigation line, the ships will go up to search, but after looking for a whole year, there is no trace, they all say that we are sea ghosts, but even ghosts are only looking for you." ”

Hearing this burst out of his teeth, he repeated, "Tell me who you are?" ”

He chuckled, as if he was very happy, "We finally found you, Xu Lan." ”

Suddenly, my body froze, I couldn't even breathe, and a strong feeling behind me permeated my body. Turning around in slow motion, my vision wide open but I could only see underneath, a pair of feet in blue satin boots on a black background gradually appeared in front of me.

At this moment, I didn't even have the courage to raise my eyes, but stared at those feet in a daze.

I remember making many pairs of shoes for a person, making cloth shoes when I was in Ginkgo Village, and making boots with good satin fabric after being in the court, without a specific size, I only measured the size of my feet by consciousness, and compared them repeatedly in my head, and finally determined that it was the same pair of feet and the same pair of shoes. Even the shoes are so old that they are torn, but they are still being worn.

The footsteps behind him were far away, and there were only two breaths left in the space that fell in a flat voice, one of which was mine, and the other was his.

A hand appeared in sight, its long, white fingers, holding me with the cuff and pulling it to his heart, where the impact struck my nerves.

Suddenly, he pulled me into his arms, and the cold breath invaded in an instant, and I was forced to raise the corner of my eyes to see the face in front of me that I had forgotten in my dreams. From the eyebrows and eyes to the ears and nose, to the mouth, to the outline, they all overlap the dark shadows in their hearts little by little. Tears fell into her eyes, blurring her vision, and she couldn't see him clearly from a very close distance.

Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed me.

When the masculine breath poured in, I was completely in tears, sobbing and unable to help myself, he kissed and kissed and moved to suck my tears, and then moved to my ear and whispered: "Lan, don't cry, I will be distressed." ”

One sentence broke me down, and I suddenly hugged his face and buried it in his neck and cried loudly without hesitation.
