After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 233

The scorching iron palm almost covered the lower half of Murong Qing's face, so that she could only let out a muffled groan.

She closed her eyes in horror, thinking she was going to die.

At this moment, a deep and familiar voice sounded in her ear.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am, it's me."

As he said that, Pei Mo put down the hand covering her, and hugged her in his arms with his backhand.

Before Murong Qing could react, he threw himself into Pei Mo's warm chest, and the man's regular heartbeat could be heard in his ears.

"You scared me to death!"

After a long while, Murong Qing gasped and punched his chest with a fist, it didn't hurt or itch.

"It's my husband's fault. I scared you. It's my husband's fault."

Pei Mo's chin rubbed against Murong Qing's hairy head, and in the dark night, he had a reassuring smile on his face.

The two hugged for a while, before Murong Qing asked, "Why is the general here? Didn't I write a letter, the general didn't receive it?"

Pei Mo replied, "Yes, I understand Madam's thoughts. There seems to be something unspeakable in your letter. The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, so I came here secretly."

Murong Qing was surprised, even this way he could guess.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

Surprised, Murong Qing looked at Pei Mo with worry, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and hide!"

Pei Mo nodded, then jumped onto the beam, and quickly disappeared in a corner dressed in black.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

The knock on the door became more and more urgent, as if impatient.

Murong Qing put on a coat, lit a candle and opened the door, "Why is it so late, who is it?"

"Report to madam, slave girl Ginkgo." Gingko outside the door saw that she had taken so long to open the door, and said impatiently, "I am here to deliver a thick quilt to madam by order of the imperial concubine."

Murong Qing breathed a sigh of relief secretly, she thought that someone had found someone sneaking into her room, so she didn't care about Ginkgo's disrespectful attitude.

Ping'er was in another room, Murong Qing didn't let Ping'er keep watch, so he could only put the quilt on the couch by himself.

Putting away the quilt but finding that ginkgo was still guarding the door, Murong Qing was a little unhappy, "Is there anything else you can do? You can go, does the imperial concubine still arrange for you to watch the night for the poor concubine?"

Hearing such words, ordinary servants would bend their waists to the ground, but Ginkgo was not only not afraid, she even poked her head into the wing room and looked around.

Then he said arrogantly to Murong Qing, "Letting you, a little wife, live in the side hall is already giving you a lot of face. You'd better not have any perverted thoughts and let the things in the side hall go out. Our empress is precious , you'd better not think of any tricks to climb up on the empress, I have seen a lot of ladies like you who have never seen the world."

Ginkgo looked Murong Qing up and down, seeing her pale and tender face becoming more and more disgusted.

Ginkgo's voice was not low, and Pei Mo on the beam heard every word, his eyes changed suddenly, his thin lips were drawn into a line, it turned out that Concubine Rong had neglected Murong Qing like this.

It was only then that Murong Qing remembered that these were the personal maids beside Concubine Rong, one was Jinyu, and the other was Ginkgo in front of her.

When the imperial concubine brought Yu Ruyi during the day, she noticed that the maid looked at her with a little hostility.

Thinking of Pei Mo on the beam, Murong Qing didn't intend to argue with Ginkgo, frowned and said, "It's late at night, the poor concubine is going to sleep, if you have something else, the poor concubine will wake up the nuns so that you and I can sleep together." The nuns said, if you have nothing to do, please leave."

The nuns in the general's mansion are all physically strong, taller than ordinary women, and stronger than other nuns. The maids in the palace are all terrified when they see it, and Ginkgo is no exception.

Ginkgo thought to herself, she was a rude woman after all, she saluted perfunctorily and said, "Then don't disturb Madam's rest."

After she finished speaking, she carried the lantern and left. Murong Qing watched her disappear before closing the door.

Pei Mo also came down from the beam, and said with a worried face, "Is this how they treat you on weekdays? They are really arrogant. I will ask the emperor for instructions tomorrow to take you back from the palace."

How could he tolerate a servant who slandered the person in his heart like this? He has made all his military achievements on the battlefield, all he wants is for the people around him to live better.

But now, he doesn't want to be promoted to rank, nor do he want gold, silver and treasure. He just wants to live a peaceful life with Murong Qing under the title of general, but there are always villains who trample on his bottom line step by step.

Sometimes Pei Mo asked himself, what is the purpose of guarding such a filthy and muddy imperial power, so what if the dynasty declines and changes, isn't history just the rise and fall of different dynasties?

He doesn't want to, because there are people in this mud who he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Murong Qing didn't care, she had heard more vicious words than this, it was nothing, and said, "Don't worry about it, General, you are nothing more than a court lady who is a bitch, she enjoys her mouth, so why don't you give me a big gift. "

Seeing that she was not sad because of these words, Pei Mo didn't say anything more, but he remembered the noble concubine in his heart.

"I have something more important to tell the general." Murong Qing sat on the bed with a solemn expression, "It's a clue about the life experience of the general's mother."

Pei Mo was slightly taken aback, "Madam said so."

"During the day, the noble concubine apologized to me. I saw that the lacquer box that the noble concubine got was engraved with a picture about the general's mother's life experience. Unfortunately, the noble concubine took the lacquer box away, so I couldn't look carefully."

Murong Qing lowered her eyes, a little discouraged, pregnancy was too much effort, her mind seemed to be unable to remember things, and many key things were always remembered later, but they all missed the best time.

Pei Mou's eyes moved slightly, "Where did Madam know the pattern?"

Murong Qing answered truthfully, "I asked Ruyan and the others to investigate, and the things they found were too few, and there were no new clues for a long time. Staying in the palace for a few more days, I originally wanted to tell the general in a letter, but I was afraid that the person who sent the letter would be unreliable, so I didn’t write it, I didn’t expect the general to come to see me soon.”

Pei Mo's heart was touched, "So Madam has been looking for my mother's life experience for me?"

He thought that Murong Qing was unwell these days, so he had long since given up on investigating his mother's affairs, but he didn't expect her to take this matter so seriously.

Murong Qing smiled lightly, "I just want to share the general's worries."

Pei Mo also laughed, and the two looked at each other with sweetness in their hearts.

"But Madam doesn't need to investigate any more." Pei Mo rubbed Murong Qing's little hand and said, "Looks like it's time to confess to Madam about her husband's background."

Murong Qing was actually curious, but after thinking for a few seconds he shook his head, "The general doesn't have to confess to me, it's fine if I don't know."

What if it's a scar? Telling it is like tearing off the scab, exposing the bloody flesh. She has experienced such pain before, and she doesn't want Pei Mo to feel it too.
