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

He was injured when he was in favor. The emperor cared about him, so all the imperial doctors in the palace were guarding his bedside, but no one could cure his injury.

Finally, his leg was saved in its best condition today thanks to the "rescue" of the imperial doctors.

His mother, Concubine Shu, was also severely affected by this and became seriously ill.

Looking around the harem at that time, only his mother was the most favored by the emperor.

But since then, every time the emperor went to her palace, she would burst into tears. Over time, she became less favored and was replaced by the newly promoted noble lady Chen.

Xiao Mo's words reminded Qi Minxiu of the suffocating past.

Xiao Mo, sensing the wrong atmosphere, looked up at him puzzledly after finishing her last injection: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking about some unhappy things." Qi Minxiu smiled faintly.

Xiao Mo stared into his eyes for a while, then turned away to pack her things: "You were framed, weren't you?"

"Yeah." Qi Minxiu didn't expect Xiao Mo to ask so directly.

"Has the person who hurt you been caught?"

"Those who are in the open and those who are in the dark are all dead."

Xiao Mo snorted and reminded him, "Your leg has only been examined by the imperial physician in the palace. Haven't you asked a doctor outside to see it?"

Qi Minxiu didn't understand what she meant by asking this, but he answered truthfully: "The imperial doctors in the palace are all people with superb medical skills. They all said there was nothing they could do, so I never thought of seeing them again."

"Someone deliberately prevented your leg from recovering."

He also saw the clues of the matter from the two sentences he talked with Xiao Mo, but he had dealt with all the people who harmed him, so could there be any remnants?

That year, after he accidentally fell off his horse and was seriously injured, the emperor ordered an investigation.

Although the final evidence pointed to a low-ranking concubine who had already given birth to a son, she admitted the guilt and the emperor executed her, but how could he, who grew up in a palace full of intrigue and deception, not see the clues?

Although the concubine's position was not high, she had a son. As long as she did not cause trouble and taught the prince attentively, her life would not be too difficult.

Unless a high-ranking concubine without children wanted to adopt her child, she would be used as a knife, either actively or passively...

Later, he followed the clues and found out the mastermind behind his frame-up. Although it took some time, he finally eradicated the mastermind's power.

The imperial palace has always been a place where people are treated cruelly, and this applies to both concubines and princes.

"Your mother must have been heartbroken when she found out your leg would never heal."

Xiao Mo looked at Qi Minxiu who seemed a little distracted and sighed slightly.

Qi Minxiu withdrew his thoughts and smiled faintly: "She is no longer here."

"Sorry, I spoke too much." Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and looked away.

Qi Minxiu looked out the window, leaned back in his chair, and said leisurely, "There's nothing to be sorry about. She died of worry."

That year, after he injured his leg, his mother fell ill and could not get up. The emperor visited her many times, but every time she went, she either cried or cursed the people who hurt him. Finally, she fell out of favor quietly, and as a result, he also fell out of favor with the emperor.

After he came of age, he moved to live outside the palace. Due to his leg injury, he could not visit her every day and could only accompany her every one or two days.

He comforted her countless times and encouraged her not to give up, but she passed away a year and a half later.

Before she died, she asked for an audience with the emperor and dressed herself up as she did when she first met the emperor, thus regaining his favor.

She concealed her illness and spent ten days with the emperor that were unforgettable for both of them. In the end, she died in the most beautiful way when the emperor loved her the most.

Before she died, she said that he was their only child and hoped that he would treat him well after her death.

The emperor cried and agreed to her request, and he did it.

Now, apart from wanting the throne, he basically has everything he wants.

"Amo, I..." Qi Minxiu looked at Xiao Mo who was rummaging through the medicine box and called her softly.

But at this moment, a louder voice outside the door drowned out his voice: "Miss, I got the medicine you asked for."

Shen Yun looked at the two maids who were trying to stop her at the door and glared at them with an unhappy expression.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Mo quickly raised her head. Just as she was about to walk over to open the door, Qi Minxiu let out a "hiss" cry of pain.

Xiao Mo stopped and walked towards him: "What's wrong? Did you touch the needle?"

Qi Minxiu frowned slightly and shook his head: "I don't know, it hurts a little."

"Yun, give the medicine package to the maids in Prince Chen's Mansion and ask them to boil it now."

Shen Yun looked at the two maids at the door and rudely brought the medicine bag to them: "These are two kinds of medicine. This one is for external application and needs to be boiled until it becomes a sticky paste. This one is for internal use and needs to be boiled for half an hour."

The two maids took the things with pursed lips, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as they turned the corner, two new maids walked into the yard and stood at the door in place of the previous two.

Shen Yun was stunned by the orderly replacement.

In the room, Xiao Mo gave Qi Minxiu acupuncture again, and asked him how he felt while doing so.

Qi Minxiu looked at her with his eyes as clear as waves, and unknowingly bent his waist.

Xiao Mo raised her head slightly, and her hair touched his thin lips. She was slightly startled, stepped back a little, and looked up at him again: "Did I bump into you?"

Qi Minxiu leaned back with a curled lip, looking away a bit embarrassedly: "No."

"Just stay like this and don't move. I'll come and remove the needles for you in an incense stick of time."

Xiao Mo stood up, tidied up the sewing belt beside her, and gave instructions to Qi Minxiu.

When Qi Minxiu heard her say that she would come to remove the needle in a while, he asked her excitedly, "Where are you going? What if something happens to my leg?"

Xiao Mo rolled her eyes at him and put down the things in her hands: "I'll go to the kitchen to see how the medicine I made for you is going."

"Oh." Speaking of the kitchen, Qi Minxiu remembered that they hadn't had breakfast yet.

He quickly called the maid, but before he could open his mouth, Xiao Mo spoke first: "Let's eat later."

After saying that, she walked out of the room without looking back.

Qi Minxiu sat in the room, staring at the door. Xiao Mo was also good at keeping track of time. If she said one stick of incense, it meant one stick of incense.

Seeing her appear at the door again, Qi Minxiu's originally unpleasant expression instantly eased a lot.

"You still remember to come back. I thought you had forgotten me."

His slightly dissatisfied tone made Xiao Mo laugh: "What are you talking about? How do you feel?"

"I feel some swelling and pain in my whole leg, but the pain is not continuous, it comes and goes." Qi Minxiu thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Mo seriously.

After hearing his description, Xiao Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was exactly as she thought.

She walked forward, knelt in front of Qi Minxiu, and pulled out the silver needles one by one.

Just as Qi Minxiu was about to bend down to lower his shirt and trouser legs, Xiao Mo stopped him: "Wait a moment."

She turned around, took a thin silk scarf, covered his knees with it, and began to massage him gently.
