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

Chapter 404 Father and Son Meet ([-])

"General, do you think fish can eat candied fruit?"

Looking at the fish swimming happily in the pond, Murong Qing asked on a whim.

Pei Mo couldn't help laughing when he thought of the fish scrambling to snatch the food that was sprinkled in the air, but found that it was a few candied fruit, and the fish turned their heads and walked away in frustration.

He curled his lips and said softly, "You fed the candied fruit to the fish, wouldn't you be starving?"

As he said that, he shifted his gaze to the opened kraft paper. There were only a few of them left in the original full bag. Feed the fish?I'm afraid if I say a few more words, the fish won't even have the chance to lick the paper wrapped with candied fruit.

It is estimated that Murong Qing's heartless appearance infected him, Pei Mo is no longer as nervous as when he first came here.

One side of Murong Qing's cheeks bulged, and the sweet taste in her mouth put her in a good mood. She seemed to have completely forgotten how she was tossing and turning last night.

But being nervous is the most useless thing to do. Adhering to the principle of what comes, she will be at ease, and enjoy the present time with peace of mind.

"By the way, General, why are you hiding candied fruit on your body?"

Don't generals always carry some hidden weapons with them?
Pei Mo looked into her bright eyes, and suddenly thought of teasing her, rolled his eyes and said, "That's naturally my husband's clever plan."

Murong Qing looked at him with a half-smile, and before he could say the joke, there was a burst of laughter from afar.

"Hahaha, General Pei and Mrs. Zun are really a loving couple!"

A heartfelt laughter sounded, Pei Mo and Murong Qing turned around at the same time, and found that the old emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe was walking towards them.

Hearing this voice, Pei Mo's face froze for a moment. To be honest, he felt that the emperor had no eyesight.

Seeing that the person who came was the emperor, Murong Qing flusteredly put away the candied fruit in his hand and saluted, "This concubine has seen the emperor."

Pei Mo followed suit, and when he raised his head again, the expression on his face had returned to normal.

"Be flat."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to help Pei Mo himself, but his hand stopped a slap away from Pei Mo.

"Come on, you two can walk with me."

It was strange to say that the emperor, who had not had a good rest for several days in a row, did not show any signs of fatigue at this time.

Murong Qing and Pei Mo looked at each other, and followed behind the emperor, followed by the servants, who looked like a mighty group of people from afar.

At first, the emperor was talking about dealing with the rebellious party, but then the topic changed to greeting Pei Mo.

The emperor intentionally slowed down his pace, and soon, Pei Mo was walking side by side with him. The sun was rising, and the early autumn sun shone warmly on his body.

It was a little cold when he got up, but now Pei Mo felt a little hot, so he pulled the clothes on his body, and inadvertently, the small mole on his neck leaked out of the collar.

Looking at the light-colored mole faintly leaking out while he was walking, the emperor's eyes darkened, and he suddenly asked, "When did Pei Aiqing notice that Sheng Xiuyu had a conspiracy?"

Pei Mo's attention was always on Murong Qing, and he didn't notice the emperor's darkened gaze.

"Returning to the emperor, in fact, the person who noticed this was General Fang, and this minister has a deep friendship with him. He told this minister about his guess, and this minister felt that it made sense, so he secretly observed the behavior of the second prince. If you don’t want to, you will find out about his hoarding of gunpowder without permission.”

Pei Mo said, after exposing the behavior of the second prince, he thought that there would be such a day, so he made an agreement with Fang Anren. When the emperor asked, he said that it was Anren who had noticed it first. Training in the area, and the second prince's gunpowder mainly comes from Wuling.

At this time, the emperor's face suddenly turned cold. He remembered Sheng Xiuyan mocking him as a lonely family, and his tone also turned cold, "Pei Aiqing, Dashun no longer has a second prince."

It was only then that Pei Mo realized that he had spoken smoothly, but forgot to change the title, "The emperor forgives the sin, and the humble minister is quick to speak."

"It's nothing, just pay attention next time." The emperor stepped forward, one step ahead of Pei Mo, "Pei Aiqing, do you have a grudge against Sheng Xiuyu?"

These words seemed to throw a stone into the calm water, causing ripples in the hearts of Murong Qing and Pei Mo.

Pei Mo paused subconsciously. It's not true to answer this sentence, and it's not true if you don't answer. Is the emperor thinking of beating him?

It is said that companionship is like companionship with a tiger, and only then did Pei Mo comprehend the deepest meaning of this sentence.

Thinking, he stopped and knelt down directly behind the emperor.

"I don't dare, my minister's loyalty to Dashun can be learned from heaven and earth, I am a warrior, how dare I harbor resentment towards Sheng Xiuyu, but later there was evidence that he was secretly plotting against him, so I had no choice but to arrest him The conspiracy was exposed."

Pei Mo knelt down, how could Murong Qing dare to stand, even though she was heartless, she also sensed that the emperor intended to dig a hole.

Sure enough, the emperor was silent. He stood in front of Pei Mo with his hands behind his back, leaving only a back view for Pei Mo, and did not respond for a long time.

The surrounding area was so quiet that a needle could be heard, the silence seemed to strip away the surrounding air, and the eunuchs following behind did not dare to breathe.

It took a long time before the emperor opened his mouth, but he was digging a hole again, "So that's why General Pei deliberately induced Sheng Xiuyu to tell about the bad things he did in the past?"

Pei Mo's heart sank, his mind was spinning fast, and he considered what he wanted to say word by word, "The emperor is wise and powerful, but the emperor has noticed the selfishness of my minister, and I admire you."

Wearing everything, flattering but not flattering, Pei Mo admits it flexibly. At this time, it is better to nod frankly than to deny against his will.

"Oh?" The emperor turned around, but didn't let him get up, and continued, "General Pei also said that he has no dissatisfaction with Sheng Xiuyu, isn't that an admission?"

Pei Mo's heart froze, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, the king of a country is not so easy to fool.

Before he could answer, the emperor asked again, "But I find it strange that if General Pei is dissatisfied with Sheng Xiuyu, he shouldn't be pleading for Lin, so why does General Pei do this?
General Pei, you are a general, you don't usually ask about world affairs, how could you have such a thorough insight into the affairs of the court that day? "

Li Fuquan, who was kneeling behind, was heartbroken when he heard these words. He secretly sweated for Pei Mo. If he didn't answer these words well, he would lose his head!

Murong Qing was also worried, her heart was beating like a drum, she even held her breath subconsciously, the majesty of the emperor enveloped her, this was the first time she had seen the emperor's thoughtfulness so closely.

Pei Mo's Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if a needle was hanging on the top of his head, as if a sharp thorn was approaching his back, and there was a dead silence all around.

At the critical moment, he remembered something.
