Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

When Qi Yue received the news that Xiao Mo had returned, he didn't believe it at first, but then he put down his official duties and went to Prince Chen's Mansion without stopping.

Qi Minxiu was guarding the bed. When he heard the footsteps in the yard and the sound of swords clashing on the guards' bodies, he knew that he had come.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is making such a big fuss." He turned and looked at Qi Yue, who was standing at the door with an anxious look on his face, and said sarcastically.

Qi Yue glanced at him indifferently, then looked away at the person on the bed.

The gauze curtain in front of the bed obscured Xiao Mo's face, making it difficult to see clearly.

He held his breath and walked towards her with heavy steps.

Qi Minxiu moved his body to the side in front of him, blocking his view: "She needs to rest."

Qi Yue frowned and looked at him: "She came back alive, it is certain that she will recover her health.

But your Prince Chen's Mansion is quite far from the palace, so I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient."

Qi Minxiu understood his implication and approached him with a cold look on his face: "She is the Princess of Chen, so she should recuperate in the Prince of Chen's mansion.

"Thank you for your concern for A-Mo, but now that you are getting married, it would be better for you to turn your attention back to your future sister-in-law."

Qi Yue looked at him coldly, and the tense confrontation between the two made everyone else dare not breathe.

"You married the deceased Xiao Mo. What does this have to do with the living her?"

A sharp light flashed in Qi Yue's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"The position of Crown Princess is a matter of great importance to the nation. Father and Mother are still deliberating. I wonder where my brother heard the rumor that I am planning to marry a Crown Princess?"

Qi Minxiu knew what he was thinking. He sneered and tilted his head slightly, as if smiling. "My royal brother married her. She is the one he will live and die with. This is what the royal father agreed to."

Qi Yuejing looked at him for a moment, then whispered in his ear: "If I want to marry her, you can't stop me."

"If you think so, you can give it a try." Qi Minxiu stared straight ahead without moving, his clear eyes flashing slightly.

"Miss." Shen Yun's excited voice interrupted the undercurrent between the two.

They turned around at the same time and saw Xiao Mo had already lifted the curtain and sat up.

"Amo!" Qi Yue rushed to sit on the bed before Qi Minxiu and checked her body helplessly: "How do you feel? Is there anything wrong with your body?

Why do you look so pale? Ah Mo, you have lost weight. You must have suffered a lot recently, right?

His eyes were slightly red, and without waiting for Xiao Mo to answer, he hugged her tightly in his arms: "It's good that you're back. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Xiao Mo weakly placed her hands on Qi Yue's chest and tried her best to push him away: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has lost his composure."

Qi Yue looked at her happily and hugged her tightly again: "Do you know everything?"

Qi Minxiu looked at him unhappily and stepped forward to pull him away: "She just woke up, you will hurt her if you do this."

After he reminded him, Qi Yue quickly and carefully let go of her: "Are you hurt? Did I hurt you?"

Xiao Mo rolled her eyes at him and took his hand off her shoulder: "The injury has healed a long time ago, but you still hurt me."

"I didn't mean to do that. I was just too excited. Lie down and get some sleep."

"It's been so long, why are you two still acting like this? I'm sleeping soundly, if you want to quarrel, why don't you go outside and do it?"

Xiao Mo rubbed her shoulders and looked at each of them with resentment in her eyes.

Qi Minxiu and Qi Yue turned their heads to look at each other tacitly, and then turned their faces away with disdain after just one glance.

"Now that you're awake, why not eat something? The porridge is warming up in the kitchen. I'll have someone serve it to you." Qi Minxiu asked her gently.

Xiao Mo blinked tiredly, and her voice sounded a little unreal: "You all go out, I still want to sleep for a while."

Coming back from such a far place like Quancheng, I only rested twice on the way and didn’t eat many meals. It would be strange if I wasn’t tired.

Qi Yue pursed his lips and pulled Qi Minxiu's sleeve: "Didn't you hear? She wants to sleep."

Qi Minxiu shook off his hand in annoyance and straightened his sleeves: "Everyone, leave. It's enough to leave Shen Yun alone."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked to the front.

Qi Yue left without even saying goodbye.

In Yongyang Palace, Concubine Liang was dyeing her nails. When she saw Qi Yue rushing in, her happy mood stopped immediately.

"As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, how can you be so impatient!"

Qi Yue ignored her teachings, walked up to her, bowed, and stood up and said to her seriously: "Mother, I can't marry Xiao Xiang."

Concubine Liang frowned and sat up straight, which scared the palace maid next to her so much that she accidentally smeared nail polish on her fingertips.

Before she could speak, her personal maid came forward and pulled her aside.

Ever since Qi Yue became the crown prince, Concubine Liang has changed.

Although she was not a good person in the past, she was at least kind to the servants in her palace.

But now, no matter who it is, if they make the slightest mistake, they will be beaten with a stick, and in serious cases, they will even be beaten to death.

The young palace maid realized her fate and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Qi Yue couldn't bear to watch it any longer and waved his hand impatiently: "Go down, since you can't serve people well, go clean the yard."

Concubine Liang glanced down at the palace maid and turned to look at him.

"Xiao Xiang is the one you must marry. I've already said that if you don't like her, just move her to a courtyard far away from you and provide her with good food and drink."

Qi Yue smiled and shook his head: "No, if you want the power behind Xiao Mo, I have a better candidate."

Concubine Liang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at him with a puzzled look: "Who?"

"Xiao Mo."

When she heard the name, Concubine Liang suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "Are you going to imitate Qi Minxiu?"

Qi Yue smiled even more and walked over to her and sat down: "Xiao Mo is not dead, she has returned and is now in Prince Chen's Mansion."

Concubine Liang frowned at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"I say that Xiao Mo is not dead. She is now the Marquis of Xiding. Wouldn't marrying her be more beneficial to us than marrying Xiao Xiang?"

"You are not saying this on purpose because you don't want to marry Xiao Xiang, are you? It's been almost a year. If she wasn't dead, she would have come back long ago." Concubine Liang turned her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly questioned him.

He was in a good mood because Xiao Mo was not dead. Otherwise, if Concubine Liang said such things, he would have retorted.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. She was seriously injured and is resting. When she gets better, she will definitely go to the palace to see the emperor."

Qi Yue spoke with a smile on his face, and the smile reached his eyes. He had not smiled like this since Xiao Mo's accident.

Concubine Liang looked at him half-believingly, but her expression changed when she met his expectant gaze.
