Chapter 233 Night visit to the Palace of Rejuvenation

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

She closed her eyes in horror, feeling that she was about to die.

At this moment, a low, familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"Don't be afraid, madam, it's me."

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

Before Murong Qing could react, she plunged into Pei Mo's warm chest, and heard the man's regular heartbeat in her ears.

"You scared me to death!"

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

"It's my husband's fault. I scared you. You should be beaten."

Pei Mo was touched in his heart, "So Madam has been searching for my mother's life experience?"

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

Murong Qing lowered her eyes, feeling a little discouraged. Pregnancy was too tiring and her mind seemed to have trouble remembering things. She always remembered many key things later, but she missed the best opportunity.

He thought that Murong Qing was feeling unwell these days and had long since given up on investigating his mother, but he didn't expect that she would take this matter so seriously.

Pei Mo was slightly startled, "That's what Madam said."

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

Ginkgo thought to herself that she was a rude woman after all, so she curtsied perfunctorily and said, "Then I won't disturb Madam's rest."

Only then did Murong Qing remember that these were the personal maids around Concubine Rong. One was named Jin Yu, and the other was the Ginkgo in front of her.

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

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

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

During the day, when the imperial concubine brought the jade Ruyi, she noticed that the maid looked at her with some hostility.

Hearing such words, most slaves would bend their backs to the ground, but Ginkgo was not only not afraid, she even stuck her head into the side room and looked around.

But now, he doesn't want to be promoted to a higher position, nor does he want gold and silver. 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.

Thinking of Pei Mo on the beam, Murong Qing didn't want to argue with Ginkgo. He frowned and said, "It's late at night, I'm going to sleep. If you still have something to do, I'll wake up the mothers and ask you to talk to me."

The nuns said, if nothing happens, please leave."

Murong Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought someone had been spotted sneaking into her room, so she didn't pay attention to Ginkgo's disrespectful attitude.

Murong Qing didn't care, she had heard even more vicious words than this, but it was nothing, and said, "General, don't worry about this, she is nothing more than a palace maid who takes advantage of people's influence. She just wants to talk to her. She won't give me a big gift when the time comes."

"

Then he said to Murong Qing with an arrogant look, "Letting a little lady of yours live in the side hall is already embarrassing to you. You'd better not have any evil intentions and move the items from the side hall out. Our queen is so precious."

, you'd better not think of any hidden ideas to get close to my wife, I've seen many ladies like you who have never seen the world."

After putting away the quilt, she found that Ginkgo was still guarding the door. Murong Qing was a little unhappy, "Is there anything else you need? You can leave. Does the imperial concubine still arrange for you to keep vigil for the poor concubine?"

How could he tolerate a slave slandering the people he loved so much? He had earned his military exploits on the battlefield, and all he wanted was for the people around him to live a better life.

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

After saying that, she took the lantern and left. Murong Qing watched her figure disappear before closing the door.

Murong Qing was surprised that he could guess even this.

Ginkgo looked Murong Qing up and down, feeling more and more disgusted when she saw her fair and tender face.

"During the day, the imperial concubine apologized to me. I saw that the lacquer box where the imperial concubine came from was engraved with a picture about the general's mother's life experience. Unfortunately, the imperial concubine took the lacquer box away and I failed to look carefully."

Murong Qing was startled, looking at Pei Mo with worry in his eyes, and whispered, "Hurry up and hide!"

Murong Qing answered truthfully, "I asked Ruyan and the others to investigate. There were too few things found, and there were no new clues for a long time. Who knew that a visit to the palace might bring unexpected gains, so I thought

I wanted to stay 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 was unreliable, so I didn't write. I didn't expect that the general would come to see me right away."

He doesn't want to, because there is someone in this mud that he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Pei Mo saw that she was not sad because of these words and didn't say anything more, but he made a note for the imperial concubine in his heart.

"Reporting to Madam, slave Ginkgo." Ginkgo outside the door saw her taking so long to open the door, and said impatiently, "I have been ordered by the Imperial Concubine to deliver a thick quilt to Madam."

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

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

The nuns in the general's residence are all physically strong, taller and stronger than other nuns. The maids in the palace were all frightened when they saw her, and Ginkgo was no exception.

Sometimes Pei Mo asked himself, what are you doing with such a dirty imperial power? What if the dynasty declines and changes? Isn't history just the rise and fall of different dynasties?

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

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

Ping'er was in another wing, and Murong Qing didn't let Ping'er stay overnight, so he could only hold the quilt and put it on the small couch.

Pei Mo replied, "I got it. I still 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 secretly."

"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."

Ginkgo's voice was not quiet, and Pei Mo, who was standing on the beam, heard every word. His eyes suddenly changed, and his thin lips pursed into a thin line. It turned out that Concubine Rong had neglected Murong Qing like this.

Pei Mo also smiled, and the two looked at each other, feeling very sweet in their hearts.

"But Madam, there is no need to bother with the investigation anymore." Pei Mo rubbed Murong Qing's little hand and said, "It seems it is time to confess my husband's life experience to Madam."

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

What if it was a scar? Speaking of it would be like tearing off a scab to reveal the bloody flesh. She had felt such pain before and didn't want Pei Mo to feel it again.
