Chapter 297 Seven Days

Soon enough, a big hand held the shining blade of the knife, and the knife stopped three inches away from Murong Qing.

"General Pei!"

The guard guarding the door exclaimed, looking horrified.

It turned out that Pei Mo had grabbed the knife with his bare hands. At this moment, the blood line was winding downwards towards his tiger's mouth, and then it fell to the ground drop by drop, creating a dazzling circle.

This scene made everyone present stunned, and I don't know who gasped.

The expression of the guard holding the knife changed, and he knelt on the ground in fear, "The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die."

Murong Qing's face turned pale. She pulled Pei Mo's sleeves and her voice trembled, "General..."

"Bangdang——"

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

He lowered his hand, and the hideous wound on his palm was exposed in front of everyone.

The guards only took one look and were frightened. This was a first-class general in the imperial court. He had great military exploits, and he had won the emperor's heart. If he dared to hurt General Pei, he would probably lose his head!

The guards regretted it so much that they would not have come if they had known it. They only prayed that General Pei would have a lot of people and care about the sins of the people holding the swords. Don't take out your anger on them!

Mr. Ge was also frightened. His original intention was to catch Murong Qing, but he did not want to completely break up with Pei Mo.

A flash of disappointment flashed in the second prince's eyes. What a pity. It was just a little bit worse.

"Mr. Ge, the matter has come to this. If you still don't believe me, I will guarantee it with my life. It is absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing. Please leave this matter to Dali Temple for investigation. I want to clear my wife's name and give it to Sun Yat-sen."

Miss, please be fair."

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

Mr. Ge closed his eyes and waited for a few seconds before opening them. The old voice said, "That's it. Since General Pei has pledged his life, I will believe you for once."

After saying that, his cloudy eyes stayed on Murong Qing for a moment, then turned around to leave.

The guard made a way for him, and the thin and hunched back of Mr. Ge slowly disappeared outside the door.

With Elder Ge gone, there was no need to continue this scene, and the second prince also left disappointed.

The backbone was gone. At first, the guards were still looking back and forth. They were tense and tense 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 door looked back at the side room. Murong Qing lowered his head and cried, taking 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 morning, the emperor looked tired, but at the beginning he asked about the fight between Murong Qing and Sun Wan.

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

There is no way to tilt the balance towards anyone. To put it more broadly, there are veteran ministers who are as heavy as a mountain on one side, and young and passionate new ministers on the other.

If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where the old ministers will feel cold and the new ministers will be dismissed.

The old emperor suddenly felt like he had more than enough ambition but not enough power.

"Mr. Sun Ge, I know about your grandson. I have informed the two imperial doctors and asked them to take good care of your grandson. You can rest assured!"

After Hege Lao finished speaking, the old emperor spoke to Pei Mo again, "Pei Aiqing, because someone has witnessed this matter with my own eyes, my wife has the greatest suspicion, so I will order you to investigate the case thoroughly without any favoritism. Is Aiqing okay?"

Doubts?”

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 the intention of bending the law for personal gain, the second prince can report it to me."

Logically speaking, as Murong Qing was Pei Mo's wife, Pei Mo should avoid suspicion, but the emperor couldn't care so much. It would not be easy for the new minister to at least appease the other old ministers.

Placing a second prince in it can also make this matter look fairer.

Even if Mr. Ge and Pei become strangers to each other in the future, it would be better than abandoning one of them.

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

Pei Mo said, feeling relieved. Even though there was an extra second prince, he would still be the one to investigate the case, instead of having to take Murong Qing to a dark interrogation room for questioning.

The old emperor finally felt relieved when he saw that the officials below him did not whisper.

"I will only give you two seven days. If you cannot find out the whole story within seven days, I will ask you two for your crimes, hand the matter over to the Royal Forest Army for investigation, and put Murong in prison!"

The second prince and Pei Mo said together, "I accept the decree."

After finishing the song, the old emperor said, "Mr. Ge, there are still some precious medicinal materials in the warehouse. I have asked the eunuchs to sort them out. After the court, I will send people to carry them into your mansion. You just have to wait for seven days."

That’s it every day.”

After finally going to court, the old emperor returned to the imperial study and pressed his temples tiredly, "Oh——"

The eunuch served the tea and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Why don't you drink some tea to wake yourself up?"

"Do you think it's strange?" The old emperor wondered, "I have seen these two women before. One is gentle and quiet, the other is clever and clever. Neither of them seems to be impulsive. How could they start fighting at the gate of the palace?

"

I have always heard that civil servants wrote poems and articles to impeach each other because they were dissatisfied with each other, and military attachés had quarrels with others over certain matters, and in serious cases they got into fights.

This is the first time I heard about two cute little girls getting into a fight.

The eunuch thought carefully, "Miss Sun has a kind-hearted personality and is a blessed person. She will definitely get better soon. The general's wife is beautiful and a law-abiding person. There must be some misunderstanding. The second prince and General Pei may be able to find out soon."

Know the truth.”

The eunuch's words were watertight, and they reached the emperor's heart.

The old emperor picked up the tea bowl, shook his head and said, "If it really is as you said, that would be great."

Night, 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 taller than her. From Pei Mo's angle, he could see Murong Qing's long and thick eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

"Okay." Murong Qing let out a long breath, "General, try not to touch the water with your hands these days."

After what happened yesterday, Murong Qing and Pei Mo broke the cold war they had had in the past few days. They made a tacit agreement not to mention the previous concubinage, as if nothing happened.

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

Ask for food.
