Chapter 197 A Shocking Dream

After receiving the news, Murong Qing panicked and hurriedly went to Pei Mo to discuss countermeasures.

Pei Mo reassured her and explained that the second prince's status in the court was still unstable. Even if he dared to attack him, he would have to weigh the veterans of the court and hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border.

But Murong Qing was still worried and followed Pei Mo step by step.

Pei Mo laughed, but there was warmth in his heart, so he let her follow.

At night, Murong Qing became sleepy easily because she was pregnant. As soon as the candles were lit in the room, she started to yawn again and again.

Pei Mo carried her to the bed and tucked her into bed thoughtfully, "You go to bed first and I'll be back after I've finished handling the rest of the official documents."

Murong Qing pouted, pulled Pei Mo's sleeve and muttered, "Can we see tomorrow?"

Pei Mo took her delicate hand, rubbed it gently, and coaxed softly, "There are not many official documents left, and they will be processed soon. Sleep well and be obedient."

"Well, you have to hurry up." Murong Qing responded with a flat mouth.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Pei Mo felt that he was going to have a heart attack, so he hugged her on his lap and patted her trembling back like a child.

The sound of something hitting flesh was heard in the distance. Murong Qing heard the sound and rushed over, "Pei Mo!"

"Pei Mo! You scared me to death!"

There were no fingers in the room, her own anxious calls echoed, and there was no other sound besides that. Murong Qing's heart dropped slightly.

There was fire all around, the hot breath stirred up heat waves, and the tongues of fire licked the pillars and eaves.

She panicked and shouted, "Pei Mo, where are you?"

Murong Qing, who hadn't realized that the scene just now was just a nightmare, was about to lift off the quilt and get out of bed to find Pei Mo.

"No! Don't!"

The breeze blew up the green hair hanging down on his shoulders, sending strange movements to Pei Mo's ears.

Pushing open the door, the yard in front was on fire. The monstrous fire opened its bloody mouth like a fire dragon, ruthlessly devouring everything in the general's mansion.

She jumped up from the bed and screamed.

Having just cried, Murong Qing's voice was a little hoarse, and she said angrily, "Pei Mo, I'm so scared."

When he got up, he found that the room was completely dark. He opened the gauze curtain and looked around, but there was no trace of Pei Mo anywhere.

The carved wooden window was only half opened, and the moonlight shone dimly into the room. The lamp was like a bean, and Pei Mo buried his head while annotating official documents.

Pei Mo didn't know when he had a wood-cutting knife in his hand. He dodged the cold arrows from the secret guard. With a flash of cruelty in his eyes, he broke the neck of the secret guard closest to him with his backhand.

The woman who was keeping watch at night was dead, and the courtyard was full of corpses.

The scene in front of her made Murong Qing's blood flow all over her body, and her heart felt as if someone had forcefully pulled it out of her chest. The scene in front of her seemed to overlap with the deepest heart-rending feeling at the end of her soul.

Here Murong Qing was murmuring in his sleep, calling Pei Mo's name, but no one responded for a while, so the person on the bed slowly woke up.

Afraid of being as lonely and helpless as I was in my previous life, falling into the abyss of despair and being unable to climb out...

After a while, Pei Mo noticed that the breathing in the tent gradually became steady and slow. He gently carried a pile of bamboo slips to the short wooden table by the window, and changed his position to handle the official documents so as not to disturb the little girl on the bed with the flickering candlelight.

human sleep.

Murong Qing's voice was trembling. She shouted helplessly, closing her eyes and rushing forward in panic.

Little did they know that in the Second Prince's Mansion, a group of highly skilled secret guards jumped onto the roof one after another and attacked the General's Mansion on Donghua Street.

Pei Mo twisted his waist, and the flying knife plunged straight into the pillar behind him.

Pei Mo had no choice but to retreat and had to deal with dozens of secret guards alone.

The two of them hugged each other until the sky turned white.

In fact, what she found was not much different from what Pei Mo knew. Originally, she was worried that she would think too much after knowing about it, but with the current situation, Pei Mo had no choice but to tell her all her thoughts, which would also make her feel more at ease.

Pei Mo put his arms around Murong Qing, looking at the cold sweat on her head and the desperate tears in her eyes. He felt heartbroken and could only repeat "I am here" over and over again.

She had been crying for an unknown amount of time, but Murong Qing's eyes were so dry that she could no longer shed tears. Even so, she was still so frightened by nightmares that she sobbed from time to time.

That hoarse exclamation was like a big hand, tugging at Pei Mo's heart. He took three steps at a time to reach the bedside.

Pei Mo stood up and put down the gauze curtain beside the bed, then sat back at the desk to deal with the backlog of official documents over the past few days.

Murong Qing choked with sobs and touched Pei Mo's face up and down with both hands until he confirmed that Pei Mo was still alive, then she threw herself into his strong arms and cried loudly.

Pei Mo raised his stern eyes, and at this moment, a poisonous flying knife struck at him with lightning speed.

Those secret guards aimed directly at Pei Mo, regardless of where the battlefield was.

In the firelight, Pei Mo was kneeling on the ground covered in blood, with arrows stuck in his body. His head was hung low. There was a burly man beside him who raised a hatchet and was about to chop off Pei Mo's head...

The woman in front of the door looked ashen, her face was full of fear, her round eyes were bulging, an arrow was stuck in her heart, and the blood underneath her body was flowing like a stream.

"Pei Mo, where are you?"

He got out of bed without even putting on his shoes and ran out stumblingly, "Pei Mo, where are you!"

A comfortable life breeds laziness. Even a self-disciplined person like Pei Mo became indulgent in front of Murong Qing. Now it's better. He hasn't processed official documents for a few days, and the pile of bamboo slips on his desk has become a small mountain.

.

Pei Mo kissed her forehead gently and listened to her talk about what she had found.

Flying over the eaves and walking over the walls, stepping on the tiles and eaves, the low-hanging knife tip glowed with cold light.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, it's all fake, I'm here!"

There was silence in the General's Mansion, and no one noticed such a loud noise, probably because they had been stunned.

Pei Mo jumped up, let out the window, closed half of the window, jumped up to the eaves, and brought the battlefield from Murong Qing's wing to the distance.

"good."

Pei Mo also lay on the bed at some point, with his strong iron arms around her, wrapping her in the quilt and coaxing her in a low voice.

Pei Mo comforted him, "Don't worry, you have to believe in my husband. How could your Murong Qing man be so easily slaughtered?"

This nonsense sentence made Murong Qing laugh, and his panic calmed down a lot, "The second prince is very vindictive. He may make a final struggle. I'm worried that he wants to drag you into the water."

Seeing that her mood was stable, Pei Mo felt relieved and said, "The second prince doesn't have the guts to make dangerous moves."

He was thinking deeply with his eyes, and then said, "If you really drag me into the water, it must be that the current Holy Emperor and the second prince conspired to use me as a backstop."

After saying that, even Pei Mo himself fell silent. What if this is really the case?
