Chapter 988: Chapter 224: The Eyeball Fell Out_2

She was busy preparing ammunition, and Zhang Gengshan didn’t dare to contradict her, knowing that the Crown Prince would soon no longer be the Crown Prince, and that a new one would ascend to the position.

When Mo Heng returned, his face was frosty and he was visibly displeased. As soon as he entered the room, he sat down opposite Pei Qin and stared at her.

"What’s wrong? You look so sour all of a sudden." It freaked her out, making her wonder if she had somehow wronged him.

"Li Shun and Zhou Jian want to see you." Mo Heng said grimly, still looking at her.

Pei Qin blinked at him, aware of this matter since they still needed to deliver these ammunitions to the Mortar Barracks! The Emperor had always paid her a salary, and her personal soldiers were still with her. The campaign to recapture Liaodong from the Rong Clan was imminent, so of course, Li Shun and Zhou Jian would need to see her.

The reason for Mo Heng’s displeasure wasn’t only because of Li Shun and Zhou Jian, but also Dou He. He had been pestering Pei Qin non-stop and following Zhao Xiaochen, bothering Mo Heng as well. Mo Heng had sent him off to the West Mountain Camp. Now that there was a troop deployment, Dou He had tracked down the whereabouts of Li Shun, Zhou Jian, and their ten men, directly following them to Daxing. If he met with Li Shun and Zhou Jian, Dou He would sooner or later find out Pei Qin’s identity.

Pei Qin guessed that he was upset about something else and that he didn’t want her to meet with Li Shun and Zhou Jian, so without caring about the gunpowder ash on her hands, she fiercely rubbed it into his handsome face, "Look at that expression, so long and sour, you have no appreciation!"

Mo Heng forcefully pulled her hand away, glowering at her, "What do you mean by no appreciation?" Before, she had complained that he was too pretty, and now she was tired of looking at him!?

"Now there is! It has the smell of fireworks, human warmth, and fragrance!" she sniffed and proclaimed.

Her hand, covered in ammunition dirt, smeared his face and mixed it in, definitely adding a lively atmosphere to that unapproachable handsome face.

"The scent is off; did you go out with another woman?" Pei Qin sniffed in front of him, angry and accusatory.

Mo Heng watched her sniffing around him like a puppy, and the jealousy that had risen in his heart oddly calmed down, and he loosened his grip on her hand a bit, "The scent of makeup?"

Pei Qin leaned closer into his embrace, sniffing over and over, and grabbed at his clothes to pull them apart, reaching into his chest.

Mo Heng watched her with a smile in his eyes, letting her search his chest.

Pei Qin, however, found nothing but pulled out two official documents from his sleeve, and nothing else. Frowning, she demanded, "Did you really go to a brothel?"

Mo Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Huang Qiu, standing outside with snacks, didn’t know if he should report. The General was surely deeply devoted to his wife, as constant as ever over the years. With his personality, it seemed impossible for him to visit a brothel, didn’t it?

Feng Wei rolled his eyes to the heavens internally. The young master had laid his heart bare, so much so that he’d willingly sacrifice his life; no other woman could catch his eye, so how could he possibly visit a brothel?

"You actually went to a brothel, for real!?" Pei Qin was completely furious.

Just as Feng Wei was about to turn his head to add his own two cents, Pei Qin’s next sentence stunned him.

"You didn’t even ask me to go with you to such a splendid event! You heartless and ungrateful thing!" When Pei Qin had nothing else to do, what she most wanted was to get dolled up, visit a brothel, and play the part of a lord for once.

Huang Qiu, Xue Dong, and the others outside became collectively petrified in the wind.

The lady... wanted to visit a brothel... and the General became heartless and ungrateful just because he didn’t take her with him...

Mo Heng’s handsome face also turned utterly dark, "Should I take you with me next time?"

"That’s more like it!" Pei Qin rubbed his hair again.

Mo Heng didn’t speak, but his eyes clearly conveyed the message, ’wait until tonight to settle the score.’"

Seeing that the snacks were about to cool down, Huang Qiu called out, "Madam!" as he brought them in.

A well-balanced fragrance of flowers wafted in, and Pei Qin’s face immediately stiffened. She had guessed wrong! She wasn’t going to have an easy time tonight!

On the sweet white porcelain plate, several exquisitely shaped flower pastries were displayed. They were the kitchen’s newly created sweets, "Hundred Flowers Pastry." Made from seasonal flower pollen and rolled into paper-thin dough, then specially crafted into the Hundred Flowers Pastry, the fragrance of flowers mingled with the aroma of wheat, creating a crisp and rich flavor, with a lingering aftertaste.

This time of year, many flowers had barely started to bud, only in the Imperial Garden of the Palace did colorful flowers bloom in abundance. Even Feng Wei could not easily enter the Interior of the Palace; the flowers were guarded by Emperor Chu Wen himself, and only personally picked by Mo Heng could he retain their scent on himself.

Xue Dong brought over a basin of water to help her wash her hands.

Pei Qin picked one up directly, "A little dirt won’t hurt, it’s not like it’ll make you sick!" She ate one herself and then handed one to Mo Heng.

Mo Heng took it from her, also without washing, and popped it straight into his mouth.
