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

Chapter 297 Seven days
It was too late and then quickly, a big hand held the blade of the knife that was shining with cold light, and the knife stopped three inches away from Murong Qing.

"General Pei!"

The guard at the gate exclaimed, with a panicked expression on his face.

It turned out that Pei Mo grabbed the knife empty-handed. At this moment, the blood line was winding down towards his tiger's mouth, and then fell to the ground drop by drop, forming a dazzling circle.

This scene stunned all the people present, who gasped for air.

The face of the guard with the knife changed, and he knelt on the ground in fear, "Damn the little ones, damn the little ones."

Murong Qing's face was pale, she tugged at Pei Mo's sleeve, her voice trembling, "General..."

"Bangdang-"

Pei Mo threw the knife on the ground, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he glared at the kneeling guards. No one dared to draw their swords, but this man was so bold, I'm afraid there was someone behind him!

He lowered his hand, exposing the hideous wound on his palm to everyone.

The guards just glanced at him and then trembled in fear. This is a top-ranking general in the current dynasty. He has achieved great military exploits and won the emperor's heart. If he dared to hurt General Pei, he might have to move his head!
The guards regretted it so much, they would not have come if they knew it earlier, they only prayed that General Pei would have a large number of people, and it would be fine to care about the crimes of the people holding the knife, and don't take your anger on them!
Elder Ge was also frightened, his original intention was to catch Murong Qing, and he didn't want to completely tear himself apart with Pei Mo.

A look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the second prince, what a pity, it was almost there.

"Ge Lao, the matter has come to an end. If Ge Lao still doesn't believe it, the lower officials will guarantee with their lives that it is absolutely impossible for the lowly wife to do such a thing. Please refer this matter to Dali Temple for investigation, and give the lowly family an innocence. Miss is fair."

Pei Mo spoke, but he was not as humble as he was at the beginning, and his tone was much tougher.

Elder Ge closed his eyes and waited a few seconds before opening them. He said in an old voice, "Forget it. Since General Pei pledged his life, I will trust you once."

After finishing speaking, his cloudy eyes lingered on Murong Qing's body for a moment, and he turned around to leave.

The guard made way for him, and Ge Lao's thin and crooked back slowly disappeared outside the door.

Ge Lao left, there was no need for this scene to continue, and the second prince also left disappointed.

The backbone is gone, the guards were still looking back and forth at the beginning, and they were fighting vigorously just now, why did they disperse all of a sudden?
But soon, following the leader's order, the guards left in an orderly manner.

The guard guarding the gate looked back at the wing room, Murong Qing lowered his head and wept, and took out a handkerchief to bandage Pei Mo's wound.

The guard left sadly, feeling guilty for not being able to speak for General Pei.

The next day.

In the early court, the emperor looked tired this day, but at the beginning he asked about the fight between Murong Qing and Sun Wan.

The old emperor had a headache. On the one hand was Sun Ge, the elder of the two dynasties, and on the other was the beloved general.

Whoever tilts the balance can't do it at all. If it goes too high, there will be old ministers who are as heavy as mountains on one side, and new ministers who are young and full of enthusiasm on the other.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the situation where the old ministers are chilled and the new ministers are dismissed.

The old emperor suddenly felt that he had more than enough heart, but not enough strength.

"Mr. Sun Ge, I know about Lingsun. I will tell the two imperial physicians that they must treat Lingsun well. Don't worry!"

After talking with Mr. Ge, the old emperor said to Pei Mo again, "Pei Aiqing, because someone saw this incident with his own eyes, his wife has the greatest suspicion, so I will order you to investigate this case thoroughly, and you must not be biased. Doubt?"

The emperor glanced at the second prince and added, "By the way, the second prince is also investigating the case with Pei Aiqing. If Aiqing has any intention of bending the law for personal gain, the second prince can report it to me."

It stands to reason that Murong Qing is Pei Mo's wife, and Pei Mo should avoid suspicion, but the emperor can't care so much anymore, at least it is not easy to appease the hearts of other old ministers and new ministers.

Putting a second prince inside can make this matter look fairer.

Even if there is a rift between Ge Lao and Pei in the future, it is better than abandoning one of them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will find out the culprit and give Miss Sun justice."

As Pei Mo said, he was relieved, even though there was an extra second prince, he was the one to investigate the case, instead of bringing Murong Qing into the dark interrogation room for questioning.

Seeing that the officials below were not whispering, the old emperor was finally relieved.

"I'll only give you two seven days. If I can't find out what's going on within seven days, I'll ask you two about your crimes, hand the matter over to the Imperial Forest Army to investigate, and put Murong in prison!"

The second prince and Pei Mo said together, "The minister leads the order."

After singing the red face and the bad face, the old emperor said, "Master Ge, there are still some valuable medicinal materials in the warehouse. I have already asked the eunuchs to clean them up. After the court, I will send someone to carry them into your mansion. You just have to wait seven The day is."

After finally going down to court, the old emperor returned to the imperial study room, pressed his temples tiredly, "Ah—"

The eunuch served tea and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, why don't you drink some tea to refresh yourself."

"Do you think it's strange?" The old emperor wondered, "I've seen these two women before, one is gentle and quiet, the other is smart, and they don't seem to be impulsive, how could they fight at the gate of the palace? "

It has always been heard that civil servants wrote poems and articles to impeach each other because they were dissatisfied with each other, and military officials had quarrels with others because of some things, and serious cases got into fights.

It was the first time I heard that two delicate girls had a good fight.

The eunuch thought about it, "Miss Sun has a gentle temperament, she is a blessed person, she will get better soon, the general's wife is exquisite, and she is also a law-abiding person, there must be some misunderstanding, the second prince and General Pei may be able to find out soon reveal the truth."

The eunuch's words can be said to be watertight, and the words penetrated into the emperor's heart.

The old emperor picked up the tea bowl, shook his head and said, "If it's really as you said, that's fine."

At night, the General's Mansion.

Murong Qing carefully applied medicine to Pei Mo's wound.

She was sitting on a round stool, and Pei Mo was sitting on the bed, a head higher than her. From Pei Mo's angle, one could see Murong Qing's slender and thick eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a butterfly.

"Okay." Murong Qing let out a long breath, "Try not to touch the water with the general's hands these few days."

After what happened yesterday, Murong Qing and Pei Mo broke the cold war they had had in the past few days. The two of them tacitly did not mention the matter of taking a concubine, as if nothing happened.

"The emperor only gave me seven days to investigate the case. I'm afraid the second prince will try to obstruct it. I have to seize the opportunity first. Madam, think about it carefully. Is there anything unusual about drinking with Miss Sun?"

Pei Mo asked.
