Chapter 298 Strange Fragrance
Hearing Pei Mo's words, Murong Qing paused, and began to recall the whole process of drinking with Sun Wan that day.

In fact, everything is very normal, there is nothing wrong with it, Murong Qing racked his brains to think back, and the most likely place where people will be tricked is when she is about to pass out of drunkenness.

At that time, she was in a daze, and she didn't remember clearly. She only remembered the sound of silk and bamboo in the private room next door, and the pervasive, very complicated smell.

Murong Qing patted his head, "By the way, I remember smelling a very strange smell at that time!"

Pei Mo was surprised, "It's a strange smell? Why is it so strange?"

"It's a scent, and it smells pretty nice." Murong Qing said, "It's mixed with the scent of food, but it's like a flower scent. Because I never use spices, I can't smell any flowers. At that time, I thought it was Miss Sun's body." The scent of the powder I used, I just remembered now, it seems that Ms. Sun didn't have a scent on her body at first."

"Ma'am, what you mean is that this fragrance appeared suddenly, right?" Pei Mo asked.

Murong Qing shook his head, "I don't know. I only smelled it before I was drunk, and I didn't know anything after that. Anyway, when I wake up, the first thing I see is you, husband."

Hearing this, Pei Mo frowned, "Do you remember how Madam felt when she smelled a strange fragrance?"

"Groggy, I feel my eyelids are heavy."

He asked again, "Then how much did Madam drink before this?"

Murong Qing snapped his fingers, "I didn't drink much, Chongminglou's wine glass is very shallow, so I drank less than a pot."

The specialty of Chongming Building is the dishes, not the wine. When the guests are reciting poems and talking, the wine can only play a supporting role. Therefore, the wine glasses here are all shallow, and there are bold guests who directly hold the wine jug drink.

Hearing this, Pei Mo fell into deep thought.

He remembered that his wife's alcohol capacity was not bad, and she could drink a whole pot of spirits. Unless there were wineries in the capital that specialized in selling spirits, most of the restaurants in the capital sold fermented fruit and sake.

And these wines, with Madam's drinking capacity, shouldn't get drunk so quickly.

Pei Mo asked, "Did Madam feel a headache after waking up?"

"No." Murong Qing shook his head, "I just woke up feeling weak."

When asked here, Pei Mo suspected that the strange smell in Madam's mouth might be the scent of saffron!
Because every time when he was drunk, Murong Qing would hug his head and cry out that he had a headache, and drinking a bowl of hangover soup would relieve a lot, but this time was an exception.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Pei Mo thought to himself.

Murong Qing lowered her eyelids. She also felt guilty about what happened to Sun Wan. After a brief conversation, she still wanted to become good friends with Sun Wan, but who knew that their friendship had only just begun, and it ended in such a vague way. it's here.

She said, "Oh, when I woke up, I wondered when Miss Sun left and didn't call me."

It was an ordinary sentence, but Pei Mo caught something wrong from it.

That's right, both Miss Sun and his wife fell into a coma at that time, why did the people behind the scenes only attack Miss Sun, and they were also reserved, and they didn't kill them with one blow, this is very suspicious.

Ms. Sun didn't go out of the boudoir all the year round. In the past year, she appeared in people's sight due to getting older and busy with negotiating relatives. If it is said that there is a feud, Pei Mo thinks it is unlikely.

So is it possible that he and his wife are the ones who are enmity, Miss Sun's encounter is just an innocent disaster, and the real purpose is to catch Murong Qing?
The more Pei Mo thought about it, the more frightened he became, he didn't dare to tell Murong Qing what was in his heart.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-"

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the wing.

Pei Mo pulled away from his chaotic thoughts, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Wu Yi's voice came from outside the door, "General, the second prince is asking for an audience, but he is already waiting in the hall."

Hearing the news of the Second Prince's arrival, Pei Mo and Murong Qing looked at each other, and the doubts in their eyes were surprisingly the same.

What is he doing here?
Pei Mo glanced at the water clock, it was about midnight, and the curfew had already been curfew outside, what could cause the second prince to come to him in the dark?

"Do you want to see him?" Murong Qing asked, the flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes.

With just one glance, Pei Mo understood Murong Qing's desire to see the second prince, and sighed helplessly, "Madam, do you want to see him? If you want to see him, I will go and see with my husband."

They wanted to see what the second prince was up to.

Soon, the two packed up and came to the hall dressed appropriately.

"The general's wife is safe and well."

When the second prince saw Murong Qing, a smile appeared on his face.

But no matter how malicious this smile looked, it made Murong Qing's heart shudder, as if being targeted by a cold, slippery and sticky snake.

So, her little hand holding Pei Mo's arm tightened.

Pei Mo noticed her discomfort, and looked at the second prince with even more displeasure, "The second prince is so late, what's the important thing to come to the general's mansion?"

Several people were seated, and when tea was served on May [-]st, the second prince didn't say a word. Thinking about it, this matter must be some kind of secret.

Wu Yi walked away, the second prince exchanged greetings, but he always greeted Murong Qing intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Pei Mo very upset, so he said straight to the point, "Second Prince, just say what you want, and you don't have to beat around the bush."

The smile on the second prince's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Since that's the case, the prince will just talk about it."

"The reason why the prince came here is because of the matter that my father told me today, because many people really saw Mrs. Ling fighting with Ms. Sun, while Mr. Ge has a tough attitude and is determined to seek justice for Mrs. Sun. I’m afraid it’s impossible to escape this disaster.”

Pei Mo sneered, what does this mean, did his wife hurt Sun Wan by default?
"The second prince's words are wrong. The cheap wife is innocent, so how can she escape this disaster? The next official will definitely find out who is behind the scenes and give Miss Sun justice."

The second prince smiled, "It's my prince who is narrow-minded. General Pei doesn't have to worry about it. In fact, this prince came here to give the general's wife an idea."

Murong Qing blinked, why did she mention her again, she didn't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that the second prince looked at her strangely.

Pei Mo said, "Second Prince, it's okay to say."

As soon as the words fell, the second prince took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"My prince was worried about the insidious and cunning person behind the scenes, and he was afraid that you and I would not be able to catch him in seven days, so I called the genius doctor in advance to prepare this thing."

Pei Mo looked at the porcelain bottle, "What is this?"

"Fake death pill."

The second prince said with a smile that he didn't really smile, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

"With this thing, even if you and I can't find out the real culprit within seven days, the death of the general's wife can be spared. At that time, General Pei can arrange for your wife to escape. How does General Pei feel?"
