Betrothed to a Concubine

Pei Mo, on the other hand, had no expression on his face after hearing the news. He was just playing with the tea cup in his hand. He didn't know what he was thinking.

The more Murong Qing looked at him, the more he felt that he felt guilty about this matter. He couldn't bear it, so he took a few steps forward and sat down next to him.

"Pei Mo, don't be too sad. I think Bai Mengying must have been assassinated." Murong Qing stretched out his soft and slender hand, gently put it on Pei Mo's wrist, and comforted her softly, "The Third Prince's kind

People will never let Bai Mengying be used as a handle for themselves."

"Think about it, Bai Mengying is so desperate now that she has revealed all the secrets of the third prince. If he keeps this person anymore, wouldn't the third prince just shoot himself in the foot?"

Pei Mo unconsciously raised a smile and turned to meet Murong Qing's eyes, which were a little gentler.

Seeing Murong Qing caring so much about him, Pei Mo had mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, he is not feeling guilty for Bai Mengying, but is thinking about other things. Does this girl think he is really guilty?

Murong Qing was comforting Pei Mo, and when her eyes met Pei Mo's eyes, she suddenly noticed that he looked at her in a strange way. She subconsciously stopped talking, and her face felt hot for some reason.

"You...why are you looking at me like that?"

Murong Qing had never looked at a man so closely in his entire life. His heart was beating like a deer, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Ah……"

Pei Mo smiled softly, that smile was like the spring breeze in April, so gentle that it could dissolve all the knots in people's hearts.

"You are my wife, can't I look at you like this?" Pei Mo deliberately put a pair of red lips into Murong Qing's ears and said softly.

"You, I was telling you something serious, but I didn't expect that you didn't listen at all and ignored you!" Murong Qing felt her face getting hotter, but her heart felt sweeter.

Pei Mo was full of tenderness and gently picked up Murong Qing's wrist. Just as he was about to cherish it for a moment, Murong Qing suddenly withdrew his hand and his cheeks were as red as a red persimmon hanging on a branch.

"I...well, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'm going back to the house first." Murong Qing left a lame excuse in a panic, and hurriedly turned around and left the room.

Seeing such a lovely and considerate woman, the corners of Pei Mo's mouth turned up unconsciously, and his eyes were filled with infinite tenderness.

Being able to marry such a beautiful and kind-hearted lady is truly a blessing that I gained in my previous life!

No matter how much gold, silver, treasures and supreme rights are given to him, he will not change them.

"call."

After Murong Qing escaped from Pei Mo's room, he first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then felt angry and resentful towards himself.

"Murong Qing, what are you thinking about? Why did you act so nervous just now? Didn't Pei Mo just look at you twice more with such gentle eyes? Is there anything worth making a fuss about?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became: "After all, you are also the queen of the general family, and you are considered a lady of the world. Why do you seem to have never seen this little bit of the world, as if you have never been loved by a man."

"Bah, bah, bah, Murong Qing, you are really embarrassing!"

Although he was scolding himself so angrily, when he thought of Pei Mo's affectionate and gentle eyes just now, his face could not help but heat up, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise. Not to mention how charming and shy his expression was.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a guard hurriedly walking into Pei Mo's study.

In the study, Pei Mo's eyes were focused on the carpet in front of him, with a smile on his lips, still thinking about the ambiguous interaction with Murong Qing just now.

"Report to the general, the emperor has summoned you to the palace immediately."

The guard suddenly came in and bowed his hands, which startled Pei Mo.

But Pei Mo quickly calmed down and stood up directly: "I understand, go and prepare the sedan."

The sedan carrying Pei Mo quickly arrived at the palace gate. Pei Mo got off the sedan and walked quickly into the palace.

The emperor's personal eunuch was already waiting on the steps.

"General Pei, come with me quickly. The emperor has been waiting for you for a long time." The eunuch smiled when he saw Pei Mo.

It seems that it is a good thing that the emperor summoned me today.

Pei Mo secretly speculated in his mind as he followed the eunuch to the royal study.

The emperor was wearing a dragon robe and sitting behind the table. When he saw Pei Mo, a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why the Emperor has summoned me?" Pei Mo bowed his hands respectfully, then stood there with his head lowered.

"The events of the past two days have now become clearer. I asked you to come over because I was afraid that you would be unhappy."

The emperor stood up from the chair with a smile, walked around the table and took two steps forward, coming to Pei Mo's side.

As a country's general, Pei Mo has made great contributions to the country and fought bloody battles to maintain border stability. He is a rare and capable general beside the emperor.

Even if he had a conflict with the third prince, the emperor did not dare to neglect him easily, so he went to the palace specifically to appease him.

Pei Mo naturally saw what the emperor meant, but he still looked very humble on his face.

"What did your Majesty say? How virtuous and capable is this minister, that he dares to bother the Emperor personally?" Pei Mo bent even lower, showing even more humility.

The emperor was also very satisfied with this. He stretched out his big hand and patted Pei Mo's shoulder. His eyes were full of smiles, but he still asked as if he was worried: "General Pei really thinks so?"

Pei Mo chuckled: "Since Bai Mengying is dead, I don't want to pursue the case any further. After all, it is not good for anyone to continue like this. I will not bear grudge against the third prince because of this. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The emperor saw that Pei Mo was speaking sincerely, his eyes lost sight of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you are indeed my good minister!"

Although he valued Pei Mo very much in his heart, the emperor did not want anyone to be arrogant because of his favor. Naturally, he was very satisfied when he saw that Pei Mo was so sensible.

"Then this matter is over, but I will definitely compensate you." The emperor turned his head and looked at Pei Mo with a smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood, "Tell me, what reward do you want?

"

Pei Mo felt that this matter had become too big, and he didn't want any reward, so he immediately refused.

"Your Majesty, I don't want any reward, so just let him go."

But the emperor didn't think so, and still insisted: "Hey, how can it go through like this? I said I would give you a reward, and I will definitely give it to you. You are not joking, how can you not want a reward?"

Pei Mo was helpless and knew that the emperor would not give up his persistence so easily. After thinking about it, he replied: "In that case, I want a piece of cloth."

It just so happened that he discovered that Murong Qing had not made new clothes for a long time. The emperor rewarded him with cloth, and he just happened to take it back to make clothes for her. She should be very happy.

But the emperor's face changed slightly, and then he laughed and said: "What kind of reward do you think this is? I have already thought about it. I will give you a marriage and a concubine. What do you think?"
