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

Qi Minxiu sat on the chair and had no intention of leaving until he wrote the notice calling for a doctor in front of him.

Almost all the people in Cenzhou Prefecture were mobilized. Overnight, the entire Cenzhou City knew that the prefect was seriously ill and seeking medical treatment.

The next morning, Xiao Mo was sitting at a street stall eating noodles. A pair of sisters sat down at the next table and started talking about the prefect's serious illness.

This kind of discussion was not the first time she had heard this morning. He was clearly in good spirits when she left. How come he had reached the point of seeking medical treatment in just a few days?

Could this be some misunderstanding or conspiracy?

Xiao Mo stopped eating noodles and suddenly laughed at her own thoughts.

As a young prefect, he was an upright and honest official. What good would it do for him to spread false news about his serious illness?

No, she has to go back and check.

In the afternoon, at the Cenzhou government office, the soldiers guarding the gate saw Xiao Mo appear from afar, and one of them hurried into the government office.

After a while, after he came out, Xiao Mo happened to walk to the door. The other person saw him nodding at him and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Miss Su, you are finally here."

Xiao Mo stopped and frowned at the two people: "How did you know I would come?"

She took a step back and looked the two men up and down: "It looks like you are waiting for me here?"

These words stunned the two people opposite for a moment, and one of them reacted quickly and bowed to her with a smile.

"You are a skilled doctor and a man of integrity. It's no surprise that you've returned."

Although Xiao Mo didn't like others' deliberate compliments, these words did dispel many of her doubts.

She glanced around the mansion, her eyebrows lowered slightly. "I heard the prefect is seriously ill? Did the doctor tell her what the illness is?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, then awkwardly turned aside and leaned forward to make a gesture of invitation.

"It is because ordinary doctors cannot diagnose the cause of the disease that the master has posted a notice to summon a doctor. Miss Su, please come in. The master is in the third wing of the east courtyard."

Looking at the nervous expressions of the two people in front of her, she pursed her lips and strode into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, a special maid led her to the East Courtyard, which she thought was normal.

But what was unusual was that the maid only took her to the corridor outside the east courtyard and then quietly retreated.

She glanced behind her in confusion and then looked into the courtyard, thinking that the prefect might be seriously ill and had banned the maids from the outer courtyard from entering the inner courtyard.

But, if that’s the case, where did the servants in the courtyard go?

Just as she was standing at the door looking around in confusion, two maids suddenly came out from the backyard.

"Miss Su, the prefect has been waiting for you for a long time." One of the maids said while pointing to the room behind them.

Xiao Mo looked up, nodded, strode up the stairs, pushed the door open and walked in.

The maids followed her and quickly pulled the door closed the moment she stepped over the threshold.

The sound of knocking on the door startled her, and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly saw a person standing on a high seat.

She walked forward doubtfully and called out tentatively, "Sir, the prefect?"

But the man did not respond to him. When she got closer, she was shocked to realize that the man was not the prefect.

This back, this dress...

Xiao Mo's pupils trembled. When she turned around to escape, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Amo, do you hate me so much?"

She subconsciously stopped, but didn't dare to look back.

She came to her senses when she heard footsteps behind her. When she tried to leave in panic, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her waist.

Feeling the breath coming from her neck, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Amo, don't go..." Qi Minxiu buried his face in Xiao Mo's neck, his dull voice almost pleading.

Xiao Mo tensed her body and tried her best to control her restless heart so as not to get overly excited and lose her composure.

"Amo, it's been three years. Do you know how I've been living these three years?"

Qi Minxiu raised his head, rested his chin on her shoulder, and tightened his grip on her, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"I think about you every day, and I imagine you appearing at the door of Lizheng Hall every day.

Amo, the position of Queen has been vacant, waiting for someone who truly belongs to it. Come back to the palace with me."

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth and reached out to cover the big hand on her waist. Before she could exert any strength, the big hand tightened a little, as if she would disappear if she wasn't careful.

"Amo, don't push me away."

Qi Minxiu's voice trembled slightly, and Xiao Mo's heart ached.

She wanted to try to persuade him, but she found that her throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, and it was so dry and painful.

In desperation, she could only struggle to break free, hoping that Qi Minxiu would let her go.

But she was obviously overthinking it. How could Qi Minxiu let go so easily after finally finding the person he had been thinking about so much?

He choked slightly, lowered his eyes to look at her lower abdomen, and reached out his hand to cover it gently.

"The child should be two years old now. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to return to the palace with me, I will treat him as my own child.

Even if we have children of our own in the future, I will never show favoritism."

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned by these words, and her struggling stopped abruptly.

Child... He didn't even know the truth about her leaving that year. It seemed that Murong Shu didn't tell him anything.

Seeing her sudden pause, Qi Minxiu quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Is he a boy? If so, if he excels in the future, I can still pass the throne to him."

Although the story about the child was fake, he was willing to raise his rival's child for her, which really touched her.

"No need." Xiao Mo choked and turned her head to the side. After seeing him loosen the grip on her waist, she slowly turned around and hugged him back tightly.

"Why? Don't you believe what I said?" Qi Minxiu took her out of his arms in confusion, held her shoulders and looked at her.

Only then did he see that her face was already wet with tears.

Xiao Mo shook her head, not wanting him to see her embarrassment, and quickly snuggled back into his arms: "No."

"why?"

"There is no child. This child does not exist."

This made Qi Minxiu even more confused. He frowned and took her out of his arms again: "What do you mean this child doesn't exist?"

Xiao Mo glared at him with her red eyes, then closed her eyes and threw herself into his arms again.

"Don't ask anymore. I'm willing to go back to the palace with you."

These words were like a life-saving pill, instantly perking up the almost dispirited Qi Minxiu: "Really?! I..."

He moved a few times with joy, but before he could get too excited, he was interrupted by Xiao Mo's cold voice.

"Don't talk, let me hold you for a while."

"Okay, A-Mo, I've been thinking about your coronation ceremony..."

"Tsk..."

"Oh, I'm not talking anymore."
