Chapter 404 Father and son meet (2)

"General, do you think fish can eat preserves?"

Looking at the fish swimming happily in the pond, Murong Qing suddenly asked.

Pei Mo couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the image of the fish vying for the food sprinkled in the air, only to find out that it was just a few candied fruits. The fish turned away in frustration.

He curled his lips and said softly, "If you feed the candied fruit to the fish, won't you make it hungry?"

As he said that, he moved his eyes to the opened kraft paper. There were originally a full package, but now there are only a few left. Feed the fish? I'm afraid if I say a few more words, the fish will even lick the paper wrapped with candied fruits.

The chance is gone.

It was probably because Murong Qing's careless demeanor had infected him, that Pei Mo was no longer as nervous as when he first arrived.

One of Murong Qing's cheeks bulged, and the sweetness filling her mouth put her in a good mood. She seemed to have completely forgotten how she tossed and turned last night.

However, being nervous is the most useless behavior. She adheres to the principle of taking things as they come and enjoys the moment with peace of mind.

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

Don’t generals always carry concealed weapons or something like that?

Pei Mo looked at her sparkling eyes and suddenly thought of teasing her. He rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it's my husband's clever plan."

Murong Qing looked at him with a half-smile, but before he could say the joke, a burst of laughter came from the distance.

"Hahaha, General Pei and his wife are such a loving couple!"

A burst of heartfelt laughter sounded. Pei Mo and Murong Qing turned around at the same time and found the old emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walking towards them.

Hearing this voice, Pei Mo's face froze for a moment. To be honest, he felt that this emperor had very little vision.

Seeing that the person coming was the emperor, Murong Qing put away the candied fruit in his hand in a panic and saluted, "I have seen the emperor."

Pei Mo also saluted, and when he raised his head again, the expression on his face had returned to his natural state.

"Get flat."

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

"Come, you two, come and walk with me."

Strangely enough, the emperor, who had not had a good rest for several days, did not show any signs of fatigue at this time.

Murong Qing and Pei Mo looked at each other and followed the emperor, followed closely by the servants. From a distance, they looked like a mighty group of people.

At first, the emperor was talking about dealing with the rebels, and then the topic changed to greeting Pei Mo.

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

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

Looking at the light-colored mole that faintly leaked out as he walked, the emperor's eyes darkened and he suddenly asked, "When did Pei Aiqing notice that Sheng Xiuyu had a rebellious intention?"

Pei Mo's attention was always on Murong Qing, and he did not notice that the emperor's gaze became dark.

"Back to the emperor, the person who noticed this was actually Major General Fang, and Weichen had a close relationship with Major General Fang. He told Weichen his guess, and Weichen thought it made sense, so he secretly observed the second prince's behavior.

His actions, I didn’t expect him to discover his secret hoarding of gunpowder.”

Pei Mo said that after he exposed the second prince's behavior, he thought that such a day would come, so he made an agreement with Fang Anren. When the emperor asked, he said that Anren had noticed it first. Anyway, the soldiers in charge of Anren were in Wuling Mountain.

The second prince's gunpowder mainly came from Wuling.

At this time, the emperor's face suddenly turned cold. He remembered Sheng Xiuyan laughing at him for being lonely, and his tone of voice also turned cold, "Pei Aiqing, there is no second prince in Dashun anymore."

Only then did Pei Mo realize that he had always spoken smoothly, but he had actually forgotten to change his title, "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I was quick to speak."

"Nothing, just be careful next time." The emperor took a step forward, one step ahead of Pei Mo, "Pei Aiqing, do you have resentment towards Sheng Xiuyu?"

These words were like throwing a pebble into the calm water, causing ripples in the hearts of Murong Qing and Pei Mo.

Pei Mo paused subconsciously. It was neither an answer nor a no answer. Did the emperor have the intention of beating him?

It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger. Only then did Pei Mo understand the deepest meaning of this sentence.

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

"Wei Chen didn't dare. Wei Chen's loyalty to Dashun can be seen from heaven and earth. How could Wei Chen, a warrior, dare to harbor resentment against Sheng Xiuyu? However, later there was evidence that he had hidden rebellious intentions. Wei Chen had no choice but to kill him."

The conspiracy was exposed."

Pei Mo even knelt down, but Murong Qing still dared to stand. No matter how heartless she was, she also noticed that the emperor was deliberately digging a hole.

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

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The silence seemed to strip away the air around you, and the eunuchs following behind didn't dare to breathe.

It took a long time for the emperor to speak, but he was digging a hole again, "I see, so General Pei deliberately induced Sheng Xiuyu to reveal the bad things he had done in the past that day?"

Pei Mo's heart sank, and his mind was spinning rapidly, carefully considering what he wanted to say word by word, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and the selfishness of my ministers has been noticed by your Majesty, and I admire you."

Although he has tried many things but never flattered him, Pei Mo was able to admit it. At this time, a candid nod was better than a denial against his will.

"Oh?" The emperor turned around, but did not let him get up, and continued, "General Pei also said that he was not dissatisfied with Sheng Xiuyu. Doesn't that mean he admitted it?"

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

Before he could answer, the emperor asked again, "But I find it strange. If General Pei is dissatisfied with Sheng Xiuyu, he shouldn't intercede for Lin, so why does General Pei still do this?

General Pei, you are a military general who usually does not ask about world affairs, how could you have such a thorough understanding of the affairs of the DPRK that day?"

Li Fuquan, who was kneeling behind, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this. He secretly sweated for Pei Mo. If he didn't answer this well, he would lose his head!

Murong Qing was also on tenterhooks. Her heart beat like a drum, and she even held her breath subconsciously. The emperor's majesty enveloped her. This was the first time she had seen the emperor's meticulous thoughts at such a close distance.

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

At the critical moment, he remembered something.
