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

Qi Minxiu supported himself on the handles of the chair with both hands, raised his chin slightly, and stared at Xiao Mo with an inexplicable glint in his eyes: "So, this is really happening?"

Xiao Mo lowered her eyes guiltily and turned her body to the side, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

No, why should she feel guilty? He is not hers.

After realizing what was happening, she turned around, but still didn't dare to look Qi Minxiu in the eye: "It's not what you think. I redeemed them to do something serious."

She didn't know why she had to explain to him, but if she were asked to say to him the same words she had said to Qi Yue, she seemed unable to say it.

Qi Minxiu narrowed his narrow eyes and suddenly smiled: "I believe you, you can tell me anything when you are with me in the future."

His eyes and eyebrows were curved in a smile, giving people a feeling of both safety and danger.

Xiao Mo looked at his sharp face that looked like a moonlit phantom and couldn't help swallowing.

His eyes were so oppressive, staring straight at Xiao Mo's face, that Xiao Mo felt the urge to escape for the first time.

"I, I'll go see if your medicine is ready..." She really couldn't stand Qi Minxiu's gaze anymore, and ran straight to the door without any hesitation.

In the corridor of the courtyard, Xiao Mo was breathing heavily. Even in the not-so-quiet environment, she could hear the thumping sound coming from her heart.

Her heart was beating so fast. It seemed like this was the first time in her eighteen years of life.

She suddenly felt regretful about taking on the job of repairing Qi Min's legs.

He seemed different from the one who had come to see her on Qinshan Mountain, but his gentle conversation seemed to have not changed.

Xiao Mo was thinking as she walked, and soon she reached the kitchen. She came to her senses after the maid came to meet her. When she looked up, she saw Shen Yun checking the medicine pot.

Seeing her coming, Shen Yun put down what she was holding and walked over: "Just now I went to His Highness's courtyard to look for you. Ling Su said that His Highness didn't like to be disturbed when he was having a meal, so I came here to supervise them boiling the medicine."

Ling Su? Didn't Qi Minxiu say he was going out to do something? Now that he's back, why isn't he coming into the house?

Xiao Mo was wondering when Ling Su suddenly appeared behind her: "General Xiao, His Highness said you can give him acupuncture now."

"Isn't he still eating?" Xiao Mo was startled by Ling Su's sudden voice, but did not show it on her face.

Ling Su lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head respectfully, saying, "Your Highness has finished his meal, so I asked you to come over."

What happened? He ate so fast. He finished eating just after she left?

Seeing Xiao Mo frowning slightly, wondering what she was thinking, Ling Su coughed lightly and said, "General Xiao, please come in."

Shen Yun glanced at Xiao Mo and then at Ling Su, and seemed to realize something. She walked forward and stood beside Xiao Mo: "Miss, I will go with you."

Xiao Mo pursed her lips and let out a heavy breath helplessly: "Let's go."

In fact, Qi Minxiu didn't do anything to her just now, but when she thought about being alone with him, her hair stood on end.

When they reached the door, Shen Yun followed Xiao Mo naturally and was about to step into the house, but Ling Su stopped him. He didn't say anything, but just shook his head at Shen Yun who was looking at him with doubt.

Shen Yun frowned in confusion, but before she could ask any questions, the door was closed by Ling Su.

"What are you doing?! The lady needs my help!" She was a little annoyed and wanted to push the door.

Seeing this, Ling Su quickly stepped in front of her and said, "My prince doesn't eat people, what are you worried about?"

"you!"

"Besides, the prince is of noble status. If General Xiao were to treat his private parts, there would only be one outcome if you were there. General Xiao wouldn't be able to protect you."

Shen Yun knew that what he said made sense, but her daughter was still an unmarried girl. According to what he said, Xiao Mo would suffer a loss.

Ling Su saw her eyes darken, guessed what she was thinking, moved to the side, and continued: "General Xiao was originally going to be betrothed to Your Highness, you can swallow your worries."

Shen Yun glared at him with a flicker in her eyes, said no more, and turned to face the outside of the yard.

In the room, Xiao Mo was giving acupuncture to Qi Minxiu's leg without saying a word. She didn't speak, and Qi Minxiu just looked at her quietly.

After feeling the burning gaze from above her head, Xiao Mo became uncomfortable.

To avoid embarrassment, she pretended not to notice and calmly manipulated the silver needle in her hand.

Seeing her earlobe so red that it looked like it could bleed, Qi Minxiu chuckled.

Hearing the laughter coming from above her head, Xiao Mo looked up at him unhappily: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Qi Minxiu moved his upper body and said with a helpless smile: "You pulled my skirt too hard just now, and the belt seems to have slipped off."

What? Xiao Mo's body froze for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously swept to his waist, where there was indeed a loose jade belt with a corrugated buckle.

Her expression changed, and she stood up and was about to call Ling Su, but Qi Minxiu grabbed her wrist and sighed softly, "Don't let him in."

"Your collar is untied." Xiao Mo glanced at him sideways and quickly turned away.

"Please help me." Qi Minxiu curled his lips slightly and looked at her expectantly.

Xiao Mo bit her lower lip, shook off his hand, turned around and looked him straight in the face: "Men and women shouldn't touch each other, so let Ling do it. He takes care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day, and he's more careful when doing things."

Qi Minxiu looked at her without saying anything. Seeing his reaction, Xiao Mo hurried to the door. Just as she was about to open it, the person behind her coughed lightly.

Xiao Mo realized that he was a little disheveled, so she called out through the door frame, "Ling Su."

It wasn't a male voice that responded to her, but Shen Yun's: "Miss, someone from the palace wants to see the prince, and Guard Ling has gone to receive him."

"Oh." Xiao Mo replied softly, somewhat bewilderedly: "Then, is there a maid outside the door?"

"There's no one outside the door, but I can go and call."

Xiao Mo looked back at Qi Minxiu and was about to say yes when Qi Minxiu gently interrupted her: "No need, Amo, I want you to help me tie it."

Although his voice was soft, his tone was very firm.

Xiao Mo looked at him in shock: "I'm not your maid."

"I don't want anyone to see me like this except you."

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth, walked forward a little speechlessly, walked around him, and suddenly smiled: "You can tie it yourself. There are needles in your legs, but not in your hands."

Qi Minxiu glanced at her indifferently, tried to tighten his collar, and put his hands behind his back to buckle his belt.

As a result, before his hand even touched his lower back, he groaned in pain.

Xiao Mo frowned and bent down to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"I pulled the needle in my leg, it hurts a bit." He frowned, pursed his lips, and looked very uncomfortable.
