Chapter 9
: Call your husband and listen
After leaving Dexuan Palace, there is an ocher-red corridor leading directly to the entrance of the palace.
Murong Qing and Liu Qing walked side by side in front, while Pei Mo deliberately walked slowly behind them, coughing from time to time.
Looking at the corridor, Murong Qing couldn't help but think of his last life.
The palace trapped her like a cage, and her life was extremely painful every day.
But she will never be trapped in this palace again in this life!
As for whether Liu Qing will be in the palace in the future, it depends on whether Sheng Xiuyan still has the ability to sit on the throne...
She turned to look at Liu Qing, who was looking sad, and comforted her softly: "Sister, don't be too upset. The matter is over. From now on, my sister will be the third prince's wife. It's best to be cautious in everything."
Liu Qing nodded, lowered her head and said: "My sister always feels sorry for my elder sister. If it were not for the wrong marriage, my elder sister would definitely be the third prince's wife now. How could it be the turn of a lowly person like me to be the third princess."
After saying that, he turned back to look at Pei Mo.
Pei Mo happened to cough, and Liu Qing immediately frowned and whispered: "I don't know if General Pei has a medicine man in his body. If my sister is really widowed because of me, she will be in trouble for the rest of her life!"
"Why don't my sister ask the Third Prince to find some famous doctors to treat General Pei someday? Then my sister won't have to worry about being a widow." Liu Qing suddenly suggested, and then suddenly changed the subject and said: "If it doesn't work out, I have to find a way to help my sister.
If you are pregnant with an heir, you will not be too sad to be widowed in the future."
She probably thought this method was feasible, and her eyes were shining when she said it.
As if just waiting for Murong Qing to agree, he was going to talk to Sheng Xiuyan about this matter. At this time, he looked at Murong Qing expectantly.
"No, no, no, no!" Murong Qing was frightened and hurriedly refused. She looked back at Pei Mo and laughed dryly: "I've searched for famous doctors. My sister will make arrangements for herself. I'd better take care of myself first."
The two of them just have a cooperative relationship. If they don't keep it together, they will get divorced one day. With such a weak body and death from illness, they don't have the trouble of planning on their own.
Hearing that Murong Qing wanted to make arrangements by himself, Liu Qing stopped saying anything.
When we arrived at the palace gate, two carriages were waiting on both sides.
When Ping'er saw Murong Qing coming out, he hurried forward, his eyes turned red and he cried: "It's all my fault, I've admitted the wrong person! Miss, please punish me, I will never complain!"
Murong Qing took Ping'er's hand and said with a smile: "It's just a mistake, how can I blame you? Okay, quickly wipe your tears and let people see you crying at the gate of the palace. Those who don't know think it's me."
How did the lady bully you?"
Perhaps it was because Ping'er had been by her side for many years, and apart from the master-servant relationship, the two of them were more like sisters.
Hearing Murong Qing's joke, Ping'er burst into tears and laughed: "Miss will not bully Ping'er, Miss is the best."
Murong Qing pinched her face lovingly: "Let's go back home."
After saying that, he turned around and saluted Liu Qing.
"Third Princess, farewell."
Liu Qing also returned the gift and then went in a different direction.
Murong Qing pulled Ping'er toward the direction of the carriage and said as he walked: "This Pei Mo will be my husband in the future, so I need to take him back to meet his father. But when you go to the general's mansion, you have to follow me
At the same time, I need you to take care of me personally. I am not used to it being someone else."
Ping'er was naturally happy that Murong Qing wanted to take her with him, but when he thought of his young lady marrying Pei Mo, he couldn't help but worry.
She looked back at Pei Mo, who was not far away. He looked like he was sick, but he didn't look like he was about to die.
I don’t know how long I can live!
But now that the matter has come to this, how can she, a maid, have any right to say anything? She must obey Murong Qing's orders in everything.
"Wherever Miss goes, Ping'er will go."
When they arrived at the carriage, Ping'er and the groom from the General's Mansion sat outside, while Murong Qing and Pei Mo sat inside the carriage.
The carriage drove towards the Marquis Mansion in the South. Murong Qing sat there for a while and couldn't help but ask: "General Pei, what's your opinion on today's matter?"
Pei Mo responded calmly: "Madam already has the answer in her mind, so why ask again?"
Murong Qing frowned, very dissatisfied with Pei Mo's answer.
She felt something was wrong, but Pei Mo was the general who ruled the country, so he must have seen more clearly than she did.
I never thought I would get such an answer.
It’s so unpleasant!
Murong Qing stopped asking and turned his head to look away, with just the word "displeased" written on his face.
Pei Mo looked at her side face, raised the corner of his mouth inadvertently, and said in a gentle voice: "It's just an imperial power, so there's no need to worry too much. When the decree is issued, let the old prince... let the father go to the palace to relieve himself.
yes."
Murong Qing was stunned and blinked several times.
Why does Pei Mo's "father" sound so awkward?
She looked at Pei Mo from the corner of her eye: "You and I are just a deal, so there's no need to change the title."
"If you don't change, it will definitely arouse suspicion!" Pei Mo said matter-of-factly, and narrowed his eyes: "Speaking of which, Madam has not changed her words yet, so why not call your husband first to hear it."
After saying this, he raised his eyebrows and waited for Murong Qing to change his words.
Murong Qing blushed at his sight, looked away, and hurriedly said something else: "Your Majesty has given you a reward, so how can you refuse it? What's more, Concubine Xuan has never convinced your Majesty, so how can my father reject it?"
This reward!"
Since ancient times, the emperor's rewards have mostly been based on blessings and misfortunes.
This is especially true for military commanders.
Today, not only were officials promoted, but also military talismans were given. From now on, all the nearly 300,000 troops in the Southern Territory will be deployed by the King of the Southern Territory and His Majesty.
She didn't think of such a big reward as a reward at all, but instead felt creepy.
If something goes wrong, everyone in the Nanjing Hou Mansion will be in trouble...
"It's not difficult. My father only needs to say that he is old and wants to live a few years of leisure, and the throne will be handed over to the crown prince. The crown prince is still young and lacks experience, so the military talisman cannot be handed over to him." Pei
Mo Bu quickly gave the solution.
Murong Qing's eyes lit up: "Yes! This is really a good idea!"
In this way, the royal family's face will not be hurt, and the reward will be pushed back, killing two birds with one stone.
My father can even enjoy his old age in peace, without having to work hard at military training at such an old age!
With a smile on his lips, Pei Mo added: "My father is famous for his love of wine. When the time comes, I will ask my father to exchange military talismans for two jars of the best daughter red in the palace. In this way, there will be a reward, which is not bad."
Don’t be afraid of His Majesty’s suspicion.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout outside——
"Royal travel, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, obviously coming in their direction.
Pei Mo raised the curtain, and dozens of people on horseback ran past the carriage.
Dust was rising wildly, and nearly half of the stalls on both sides were knocked over, but the vendors were too angry and dared not speak out, so they had to clean up on their own.
Pei Mo stared at the dozens of people, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Who is it?" Murong Qing was curious.
Pei Mo lowered the curtain and his expression returned to normal again: "Second Prince."
