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

Shen Hanzhou was breathing with some difficulty, his eyes were scarlet, and every part of his body that was exposed was horribly red.

He must have been extremely patient!

Xiao Mo swallowed her saliva and helped him sit down next to her: "Hold on for a little while longer, the antidote will be ready soon."

She turned around anxiously to look for medicine, but as soon as she took a step, the person behind her hugged her tightly.

"Miss, excuse me, can you let me hold you like this for a while?"

Shen Hanzhou buried his head in Xiao Mo's neck, and the breath he exhaled while speaking touched her skin, filling her whole body with a tingling sensation.

"Han Zhou, I know you're feeling very uncomfortable. Just bear with it for a while. It will be fine in a moment."

Xiao Mo quickly turned around and grabbed Shen Hanzhou's hand, which was about to move, and pressed him into a chair: "Wait here for me, I'll get you some medicine."

Shen Hanzhou looked at Xiao Mo with blurred eyes, and the next moment he stood up again and hugged her.

Xiao Mo sighed and turned around helplessly to stop him, but just as she turned her head and hadn't seen his face clearly, she was stunned by the enlarged face in front of her.

Shen Hanzhou closed his eyes and kissed Xiao Mo's red lips heavily.

Xiao Mo was so frightened that she lost the ability to think and just let him kiss her twice.

Just when he was about to take a step closer, Xiao Mo suddenly came to her senses and pushed him several meters away.

Shen Hanzhou's cartilage was weak and he fell heavily to the ground. Xiao Mo reached out her hand worriedly, wanting to go forward to help him, but he raised his hand to refuse.

"Miss, don't come over here, I, I..." He breathed heavily, as if he was going to suffocate in the next second.

Xiao Mo frowned, didn't move forward, turned around and went to the stove to pour out the boiling medicine.

She dipped a little on her fingertips and tasted it. When she felt it was almost done, she blew on it twice, then walked to Shen Hanzhou, squatted down, and handed the medicine to him.

"The antidote is here, be careful of the heat." Xiao Mo half-supported Shen Hanzhou, blew on it twice and gave him some to drink. It took him almost half an incense stick of time to finish drinking it.

"The person who drugged you didn't want you to live. This drug is very potent. Even if you have sex with a woman to release the poison, or take an antidote, it won't be cured immediately. The remaining aphrodisiac will stay in your body for at least a month before it's completely eliminated."

Xiao Mo fed him while explaining to him: "I believe you didn't offend anyone. Can you tell me the specific situation at that time?"

Shen Hanzhou bent one knee and his breathing gradually calmed down. Although his expression did not warm up in time, it could be seen from his eyes that he had relieved a lot.

"I was guarding the door at the time, and a gorgeously dressed palace maid came with her maids to bring wine to the guards outside, saying it was a reward from the emperor.

When it was my turn, I refused. She didn't get angry. She turned around and poured me a cup of tea, saying that this was a gift from the emperor to celebrate the birthday of the third prince. It would be disrespectful not to drink it.

I thought it was okay so I drank it. But not long after, I felt something was wrong. My body started to feel uncontrollably hot, and then my bones and muscles became numb and I felt weak all over.

The guards around me came over and helped me up. They said I could pretend to be a guard and go to the guard room to rest for a while.

I believed it, but they ended up helping me into the inner courtyard..."

After saying these words, Shen Hanzhou's breathing became much calmer and his complexion returned to normal.

Xiao Mo listened and thought, finally gritted her teeth and looked at him with a frown: "How is your health? If you are better, we must leave here as soon as possible."

Shen Hanzhou looked back at her with cool eyes, and was about to stand up by supporting himself with the stool, but fell on Xiao Mo the moment he exerted force.

He was a little flustered and kept apologizing, but Xiao Mo was only concerned about his health: "What's wrong? Are your legs still weak?"

"Hmm..." He responded softly.

At this time, the voices of imperial doctors talking came from the direction of the door. The two looked at each other in shock and hurriedly tried to find a way to hide.

Xiao Mo looked around the room, then stared at the door. Judging from the sounds, those people should be arriving soon. There were no windows here, and if she went out through the main door, she would definitely be caught.

At the critical moment, Shen Hanzhou suddenly found a place to hide: "Miss, where can we go?"

Xiao Mo looked in the direction he pointed, frowned and thought for a while, and finally compromised.

It was a small and narrow Chinese medicine cabinet, and Xiao Mo and Shen Hanzhou were squeezed in with no space at all.

Fortunately, they had already hidden themselves when several imperial doctors pushed open the door to the room. Looking at the stove, tables, chairs, bowls and spoons that had been used, they looked at each other in surprise, but no one asked any questions.

In their opinion, today's circumstances were special, and it might be that one of the guards or palace maids came to cook something.

Several people were talking about what happened in the harem today. From their words, Xiao Mo connected the murder of Shen Hanzhou today into a complete plan in her mind.

This matter was either planned by Concubine Liang, or she is the number one accomplice. Now she is the only one in power in the palace, so the first possibility is more likely.

In the deep palace, it is normal for women to fight to the death for power and status.

Xiao Mo didn't care at all who she wanted to get rid of, but she really couldn't understand what kind of thing could be related to Shen Hanzhou.

Unless... the only person related to both her and Shen Hanzhou is Qi Yue.

As his mother, she was removing her own stumbling block while helping her son deal with a task that was just a piece of cake.

Xiao Mo was thinking in her mind, completely forgetting her own situation, and accidentally made some noise.

The talking in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone looked around.

Fortunately, when she hid in the cabinet just now, she picked up two stones.

Seeing someone coming this way, she put her hands in the gap of the cabinet door without thinking and flicked the stone out.

The stone hit the door heavily, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mo fired two or three more bullets in succession, which hit the doors and windows, scaring the people in the house.

Several people carefully checked the room, and when they didn't find anything, their expressions changed.

Xiao Mo was only concerned with checking the situation outside and didn't notice that her hair was brushing against Shen Hanzhou's chin and Adam's apple.

He had been poisoned by that kind of drug in the first place. Although he had taken the antidote and felt much better, there was still some residual poison in his body.

In this situation, he had a woman in his arms whom he already admired, and she was teasing him intentionally or unintentionally. How could he not have any thoughts at all?

But in such a severe environment, he couldn't show any sign of showing any emotion, so as not to embarrass Xiao Mo.

In order to ease the anger in his heart, he could only tilt his head back slightly and swallow his saliva continuously.
