Chapter 41
Zhang closes the door
After Murong Qing finished everything, it was already very late. Murong Qing bought so many things. When he got home, he found that his stomach was growling. It turned out that he was hungry.
Pei Mo wouldn't be angry that he came back so late, but Murong Qing thought that she had nothing to do with Pei Mo now, so what would happen if he came back late.
Thinking like this, Murong Qing didn't feel guilty and pushed open the door of the General's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Pei Mo was standing behind the door. But she was startled.
"You... um... the moonlight is nice tonight." Murong Qing said awkwardly.
Pei Mo looked at the sky cooperatively. It was cloudy today and there was no moon.
Now Murong Qing was even more embarrassed. When the two of them didn't know how to ease the atmosphere, Murong Qing suddenly fell down.
"Miss!" Ping'er hurriedly wanted to help Murong Qing, but Pei Mo took a quick step and picked up Murong Qing.
Murong Qing found that her body was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed that she needed to find a good doctor to nurse her back to health. She felt very comfortable being held in Pei Mo's arms.
Pei Mo looked at Murong Qing's face. There were two blushes on his delicate face, which was very cute. Ping'er couldn't bear to look at this ambiguous atmosphere.
Pei Mo was obviously very excited, but he still looked at Murong Qing calmly. Pei Mo's arms were very strong, and he was worthy of being a martial artist. Murong Qing even felt nostalgic lying in his arms.
The two looked at each other like this, and Murong Qing suddenly said something with a very persecuting tone.
"General...I'm hungry."
As soon as he said this, Murong Qing felt even more embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Pei Mo quickly ordered his servants to prepare food and then carried Murong Qing into the room.
"Where have you been today? Why are you back so late?" Pei Mo saw that Murong Qing was so tired, and he thought she had gone to do hard work.
Although Pei Mo felt distressed, he remained calm on the surface. Murong Qing also felt a little embarrassed, so he scratched his head and did not explain further.
Pei Mo saw that Murong Qing didn't want to talk, so he didn't continue to ask any more questions. In a short while, the food prepared by the servants was ready.
After it was served, Murong Qing ate happily. Murong Qing felt that she was very hungry, and she didn't care whether she was eating or not in front of Pei Mo. Not being a lady, she picked up the food and put it in her mouth.
When Pei Mo saw Murong Qing's appearance, he thought it was very cute. Although it was not elegant, it was refreshing.
After a while, the food that was served was finished. Pei Mo wanted to continue chatting with Murong Qing, but Murong Qing felt very sleepy and his eyelids drooped.
When Pei Mo saw Murong Qing like this, he must have been tired tonight, so he didn't stay much longer.
Murong Qing was drowsy and did not even take off his clothes. Pei Mo was always thinking about Murong Qing and hardly slept well that night.
Murong Qing on the other side was not like that. She was sleeping soundly. She seemed to be very tired. She had a dream. She dreamed about the tragic situation of the Nanjing Hou Mansion being exterminated in her previous life, as if she was in a nightmare that she couldn't extricate herself from.
Just like that, the next morning, Pei Mo, who had been thinking about Murong Qing all night, came over early in the morning. Ping'er said that Murong Qing was not awake yet.
Bai Mengying heard that Murong Qing had not woken up early in the morning, and thought to herself why Murong Qing was so vain. The third prince came to invite her out yesterday, and why did she act like this when she came back?
Did the third prince do something with her yesterday? Impossible!
Murong Qing was busy outside all day yesterday and did not torture Bai Mengying very much. Bai Mengying felt that she was okay again, so she put on a beautiful dress and prepared to "take care of" Murong Qing.
By the way, I took a bag of medicine and planned to secretly put it into Murong Qing's tea.
Seeing that Murong Qing was asleep, Pei Mo touched Murong Qing's forehead and found that the fever was so severe.
Pei Mo was very anxious and immediately sent his servants to look for the doctor. He thought to himself: Why did Murong Qing and the third prince become like this after being out for a day?
Is it possible that the third prince fell in love and gave Murong Qing some medicine? It seems that the third prince is really dangerous. Murong Qing cannot be allowed to go out with the third prince in the future. Even if he goes out, he must protect Murong Qing secretly.
After a while, the doctor came over and checked Murong Qing's pulse. He found that Murong Qing had a fever due to fatigue and palpitations.
Heart palpitations? How could this happen? The third prince must have threatened Murong Qing. Anyone who dares to threaten me, even if he is the third prince, so what!
Pei Mo looked at Murong Qing distressedly. The doctor prescribed medicine for Murong Qing and said that he should take it three times a day and he would be fine in a few days.
Pei Mo thanked the doctor, then sat on the bedside and looked at Murong Qing. Pei Mo's sharp eyes were full of tenderness. The third prince was indeed unworthy of such Murong Qing.
Pei Mo was already dissatisfied with the third prince. It seemed that the third prince was determined to compete with him for Murong Qing.
"General, there is a boss named Zhang He outside. He said he is an old friend of Madam. He heard that Madam is ill and wants to come to visit." Ziyun came over to send a message.
Pei Mo thought to himself, why did someone come to the door not long after the doctor left?
Zhang He deserves to be in this business, and news comes quickly. Zhang He heard that Murong Qing was ill. This was an opportunity to show his loyalty. He waited outside the door of the General's Mansion. Seeing this high-ranking official in the General's Mansion, he thought to himself
I must also make contributions in the future and be such a man.
Pei Mo remembered that Murong Qing had said before that he wanted to set up his own intelligence organization, so Zhang He was the one she was interested in. Thinking of this, Pei Mo decided to go meet Zhang He in person and check whether he had ulterior motives.
Bai Mengying was very surprised when she saw Zhang He at the door of the General's Mansion. Why did he come here suddenly? Could it be that he came to see her?
Bai Mengying thought to herself, as expected, he still misses me, after not seeing me for such a long time. He probably misses me. It seems that he still has some charm, not inferior to Murong Qing at all.
Thinking like this, Bai Mengying walked up and prepared to say a few words to Zhang He. He still wanted to celebrate. It was too risky for him to do this. He should not come to see her again in the future.
Zhang He looked at the general's mansion. Someone just said that he had gone in to report. Why didn't he come back for so long? He was not allowed to go in.
Bai Mengying looked around and saw that no one was ready to step forward and secretly say a word to Zhang He.
Zhang He also saw Bai Mengying. He didn't want their relationship to be known to others. She was so smart, she should avoid him, Zhang He thought to himself.
But seeing Bai Mengying walking towards him, Zhang He felt a little dissatisfied. Didn't she know how to be cautious? If this continues, this woman would break his taboo sooner or later. Zhang He already had a fierce look on his face, and his eyes were full of fear.
Murderous intent, if this woman wants to block his way forward, he will not show mercy.
Bai Mengying thought to herself, why was he not happy when he came to see her? Why was this man acting strange today? She couldn't figure it out, and Zhang He was already very anxious.
