Chapter 298 Strange Smell

After 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 was normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Murong Qing racked her brains to think back and found that the most likely place for someone to find a way out was when she was about to get drunk.

At that time, she was in a daze and didn't remember much clearly. She only remembered the sound of silk and bamboo in the private room next door, and the permeating, 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 smells weird? Why is it weird?"

"It's a fragrance, it seems to smell pretty good." Murong Qing said, "It's mixed with the fragrance of the food, but it's like the fragrance of flowers. Because I never use spices, I couldn't smell the smell of flowers. At that time, I thought it was Miss Sun.

The fragrance powder used smells like this, but now I think about it, it seems that Miss Sun didn’t have any fragrance at first.”

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

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

Hearing this, Pei Mo frowned, "Do you remember how Madam felt after smelling the strange fragrance?"

"I feel groggy and my eyelids feel heavy."

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

Murong Qing clapped his fingers and said, "I didn't drink much. The wine glass in Chongminglou was very shallow, so I drank less than a pot."

The specialty of Chongminglou is the food, not the wine. When the guests are reciting poems and chatting, the wine can only play a supporting role. Therefore, the wine glasses here are all shallow, and the bold guests just hold the wine bottles.

drink.

After hearing this, Pei Mo fell into deep thought.

He remembered that his wife's drinking capacity was pretty good and she could drink a whole jug of spirits. Unless there were wineries that specialized in selling spirits, most restaurants in the capital sold fruit wine and sake.

And with these drinks, given Madam’s drinking capacity, she shouldn’t get drunk so quickly.

Pei Mo asked, "Madam, did you feel a headache after you woke up?"

"No." Murong Qing shook his head, "I just felt weak all over when I woke up."

When asked, Pei Mo suspected that the strange fragrance in Madam's mouth was probably Mixiang!

Because every time he was drunk, Murong Qing would hold his head and complain that he had a headache. Drinking a bowl of hangover soup would relieve the pain a lot, but this time it was an exception.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Pei Mo thought to himself.

Murong Qing lowered her eyelids. She also felt guilty about what happened to Sun Wan. After a short conversation, she still wanted to become good friends with Sun Wan, but who knew that their friendship had just begun and ended without any reason.

here.

She said, "Well, when I woke up, I was still wondering when Miss Sun left without calling me."

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

Yes, Miss Sun and his wife were both asleep at that time. It is very suspicious why the person behind the scenes only attacked Miss Sun and reserved their attacks and did not kill with one blow.

Miss Sun has not left the boudoir all year round. In the past year, she has only appeared in people's sight because she has grown older and has been busy discussing marriage. Pei Mo thinks it is unlikely that she will form a feud.

So is it possible that it was he and his wife who were enmity-making enemies, and that Miss Sun's incident was just an innocent disaster, and her real purpose was to capture Murong Qing?

The more Pei Mo thought about it, the more frightened he became. He did not dare to tell Murong Qing what was in his heart.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the wing.

Pei Mo pulled away from his chaotic thoughts and asked, "It's so late, what's going on?"

Wu Yi's voice came from outside the door, "General, the second prince wants to see you. He is already waiting in the hall."

Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the second prince, Pei Mo and Murong Qing looked at each other, the doubts in their eyes were surprisingly the same.

What is he here for?

Pei Mo glanced at the water clock. It was probably midnight, and the curfew had been banned outside. Why would the second prince come to see him in the dark?

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

With just one glance, Pei Mo understood Murong Qing's desire to see the second prince, and he sighed helplessly, "Madam, do you want to see him? If so, let's go and see him together."

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

Soon, the two of them cleaned up and came to the hall dressed appropriately.

"The general's wife is here well."

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

However, this smile seemed to be malicious, which made Murong Qing's heart tremble, as if he was being stared at by a cold, slippery and slimy 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, "Second prince, it's so late. What's the important thing for you to come to the general's mansion?"

A few people sat down and when tea was served on May Day, the second prince said nothing, thinking that this matter must be some kind of secret.

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

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

The smile on the second prince's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to its natural state, "In that case, that's all I have to say."

"I, the prince, came here simply for the matter that my father told me today, because many people actually saw Mrs. Ling and Miss Sun fighting, and Mr. Ge had a tough attitude and wanted to seek justice for Miss Sun. Mrs. Ling

I’m afraid it’s impossible to escape this disaster.”

Pei Mo sneered, what does this mean? Does it mean that his wife hurt Sun Wan by default?

"The words of the second prince are wrong. The lowly wife is innocent to begin with, so how can she escape this disaster? The official will definitely find out the mastermind behind this and give Miss Sun justice."

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

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

Pei Mo said, "Second Prince, it doesn't matter if you say so."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second prince took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"I am worried that the person behind the scenes is cunning and cunning, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to catch him in seven days, so I called the miracle doctor in advance to prepare this thing."

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

"Fake death medicine."

The second prince said with a smile, his smile was not genuine and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

"With this thing, even if you and I can't find the real murderer within seven days, the general's wife can be saved from death. At that time, General Pei can arrange for your wife to escape. What does General Pei think?"
