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

Xiao Mo closed her eyes speechlessly and wanted to turn around to say something, but she saw him let go of her and left without looking back.

He misunderstood, misunderstood that she liked Shen Hanzhou, but she didn't want to explain. She was afraid that once she explained, he would think that she liked him, and then he would come to pester her every day, which she couldn't stand.

Moreover, she wanted him to understand that she had the right to like anyone.

However, judging by the last words he said before leaving, he was afraid that he would cause trouble for her.

Xiao Mo looked at the open window, sighed, walked over to close it, and when she returned to bed, she was no longer sleepy.

Early the next morning, an imperial edict came from the palace, ordering Xiao Wenbo to bring his wife and legitimate son and daughter to the palace three days later to celebrate Prince Jin's birthday.

After hearing this, Xiao Xiang, who was kneeling in the back row, was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Before Xiao Mo came back, Xiao Wenbo always brought Murong Shu and her to any banquet.

But since Xiao Mo came back, she has become invisible. She is not convinced. Why should she replace everything she has as soon as she comes back, even Prince Jin is not spared.

After Xiao Wenbo took the imperial edict and expressed his gratitude, Xiao Mo followed the eunuch out as soon as he left.

In Prince Chen's Mansion, Qi Minzheng was washing up in his room. He hadn't even changed into his pajamas when Xiao Mo came with a medicine box.

"Am I early? How about I go out and wait for a while?" She handed the things to Ling Su and was about to turn around when Qi Minxiu stopped her: "It's okay, just put on a coat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Su went to find him an outer robe, and the maid quickly put it on him.

After a while, seeing the maids in the room walking out one by one, Xiao Mo turned back.

Seeing Qi Minxiu's listless face, she couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Qi Minxiu turned his face away, intentionally avoiding her: "You're mistaken, it's not true."

"Your Highness didn't sleep at all in the first half of last night." Ling Su said following Qi Minxiu's words.

Qi Minxiu gave him a look and he immediately shut up.

Xiao Mo noticed these little movements and couldn't help but glare at Qi Minxiu: "Why didn't you sleep well? If you don't tell me, I won't care."

Qi Minxiu pursed his lips, looking embarrassed as he considered whether to speak or not, when Ling Su beside him spoke again.

"Your Highness had severe leg pain last night. I wanted to go look for you, but Your Highness said he was afraid of disturbing your rest, so he didn't let me go."

"Leg pain? Where does it hurt? The effect of this medicine is really beyond my expectation. Your legs are already hurting so much in such a short time."

Xiao Mo walked happily to Qi Minxiu and squatted down. She reached out and lifted up his shirt, then tentatively pinched a few tendons on his legs: "Is it here?"

Qi Minxiu pretended to be angry and scolded Ling Su for "talking too much", then sternly told him to leave.

Xiao Mo smiled and took out a silver needle, saying, "He's concerned about you. Your leg needs different medicines according to different conditions. If I had known about your leg pain last night, I would have brought you a new medicine today."

"But it's the middle of the night, how can I have the nerve to disturb you?" Qi Minxiu tilted his head and looked at Xiao Mo's face.

Coming to disturb me so late at night is in stark contrast to the person last night.

I don’t know if he will come tonight. Qi Minxiu’s legs are still in the stage of repairing his tendons and veins. Otherwise, why don’t she stay in this palace for two nights?

"Then I won't go back tonight. If there's anything, I can handle it immediately. Is that okay?"

Qi Minxiu pretended to smile subtly, but in fact he was already very happy: "Of course, the wing room has already been cleaned out."

In the afternoon, Xiao Mo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked Shen Yun to go outside the city to collect herbs. They did not return to the palace until the evening.

Qi Minxiu didn't even have dinner and kept waiting for Xiao Mo at the gate of the courtyard.

Ling Su, who was standing by, tried to persuade him many times but to no avail. He could only step forward again and say, "Your Highness, I'm afraid General Xiao won't be back tonight. You should have your meal first."

"No, she said she would stay here tonight and would definitely come back."

Ling Su licked his lips and continued, "But, it's already so dark, General Xiao..."

"Sorry, I'm back late." Before Ling Su could finish his words, Xiao Mo came back carrying a basket of all kinds of strange herbs.

When she turned and walked away, everyone realized that Shen Yun, who was following her, was also carrying a basket.

Qi Minxiu glanced at Ling Su, and before she could say anything, Ling Su walked forward and helped her take the backpack off.

Xiao Mo looked at the herbs and instructed the maid in charge of boiling them, "Take half a basket to boil the herbs. Use the same amount of water as your Highness usually uses for bathing. Once the water boils, boil it for 25 minutes. After it cools down naturally, you can soak in it."

After saying that, Xiao Mo turned her head to look at Qi Minxiu: "From today on, you have to soak in this medicinal bath every day. Don't soak for too long. Get up when you feel the water is no longer warm."

Qi Minxiu looked at her and nodded: "Medicinal bath? Can I take a medicinal bath for a leg injury?"

"It depends. Some are allowed, some are not. Is there any food? I'm starving." Xiao Mo put her hands on her hips and looked around the room.

Qi Minxiu chuckled and with a glance, the maids went to bring the dishes.

Seeing Xiao Mo eating in big mouthfuls as if she had been hungry for several days, he couldn't help but recall the time when he went to Qinshan to see her. She was also eating like a wolf after being punished for doing something wrong.

"Eat slowly and don't choke. It's all yours, no one will snatch it from you." Qi Minxiu poured her a glass of water with a smile.

After Xiao Mo finished swallowing, she took the water cup and took a big sip: "You should eat too. It's embarrassing to watch me eat every time."

When he was in Qinshan before, every time he came, he would watch her eat for a while before picking up his chopsticks. Is this his habit?

Qi Minxiu looked at her with a smile on his face. "I've been sitting all day and I'm not hungry yet."

Yes, without exercise, how can there be an appetite? It's rare that he can still be so open-minded after three or four years of this.

"I'm done eating. I'm going to go see how the medicine I prepared for you is doing." Xiao Mo wiped her mouth, stood up, turned around and left in one go.

Qi Minxiu opened his mouth slightly, and before he could react, the person was no longer in the room.

In this way, Xiao Mo stayed in Prince Chen's Mansion for three days, and she did not go back until the fourth day, Qi Yue's birthday.

During these three days, Qi Minxiu treated her very well. Unlike Mou Yue, he was not aggressive at every turn. Even if he wanted to talk to her about something, he would knock on the door first and get her consent before entering the house.

This feeling makes people feel very comfortable because intimate words and things are something that can only be said and done between lovers.

With a relationship like theirs now, it's best to keep a certain distance.
