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

After he left, Xiao Mo's expressionless face instantly fell. She lowered her eyes and didn't look at Qi Yue, and her tone of voice was full of alienation.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, do you have anything to say to me?"

Qi Yue frowned and stared at her with a half-smile: "Don't you have something to ask me?"

Xiao Mo raised her eyes and glared at him fiercely, staring fearlessly at him: "Why did you attack him? He didn't do anything to offend you, did he?"

"Of course he pissed me off. He actually dared to like the same person as me. That's his original sin."

"Are you talking about me?" Xiao Mo asked affirmatively.

Qi Yue raised the corner of his mouth and answered her silently.

She laughed in anger and asked through gritted teeth, "How do you judge that he likes me?"

"I don't care whether he likes you or not, you can't have a man like him by your side."

Qi Yue put away his sneer and stared into Xiao Mo's eyes very seriously.

Xiao Mo looked at his serious expression and was stunned for a moment: "He is my follower, so of course he has to follow me."

"Then I don't care. I just don't like him. I can't sleep or eat unless I get rid of him."

"Qi Yue, are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

This was the first time Xiao Mo called him by his full name in all the time they had known each other.

Qi Yue lazily poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, put one leg on the bench and bent it: "That's fine if you want to understand it that way."

"Why? He's mine."

"Because I am a noble and supreme prince, I can kill anyone below my status at will."

Xiao Mo closed her eyes for a moment, she was so angry that she didn't know how to refute.

After a while, she regained her slightly angry expression and looked at him: "As a prince, is this how you use your power?"

"No, there are other aspects. I'll let you see them next time." Qi Yue raised the corner of his mouth with a wicked smile, stood up and leaned in front of Xiao Mo: "For example, forced marriage."

Although his expression was dandy, the determination in his eyes made Xiao Mo feel scared.

"You must have misunderstood something. He doesn't like me and I don't like him. If you want to take action against him because of this, there is really no need to do so." Xiao Mo explained calmly.

Qi Yue kept smiling, but his eyes were much lighter: "It doesn't matter whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I just can't stand him hanging around in front of you every day. He's lucky this time, you better keep your eyes on him, he won't be so lucky next time."

"Qi Yue, why are you like this..." Xiao Mo clicked her tongue speechlessly. Before she could finish her words, Qi Yue came up to her.

He looked her up and down. Today she was wearing rouge and powder, which was different from the light makeup she wore the previous two times she entered the palace.

The flower on her forehead, her distant mountain-like eyebrows, her curled eyelashes, the two bright eyes under her eyelashes, her pretty nose bridge and her scarlet and smooth lips... all attracted him.

But her lips...

Xiao Mo felt uneasy when he stared at her. If she were outside, she would have turned around and left long ago. However, she was in a carriage and she couldn't avoid him, so she could only turn her head away.

But as soon as she turned her head away, Qi Yue grabbed her chin with his big hand and approached her face again.

"He kissed you?" he asked angrily.

Xiao Mo frowned and glared at him angrily. She wanted to slap his hand away, but he quickly controlled it behind her: "Didn't you say you don't like it?"

When she recalled the time when Shen Hanzhou kissed her when the aphrodisiac took effect, her ears turned red with guilt.

Looking at the woman in front of him with rouge on her lips and red ears due to guilt, Qi Yue was furious.

He let go of her and reached out to lift the car curtain. Xiao Mo saw that his face was dark and ugly, so she quickly pulled him back: "Wait, I can explain."

Why were things getting increasingly out of place? She was the one questioning him, so why was it the other way around now?

Qi Yue looked back at him, thought for a moment, and sat back in his seat.

"Your mother gave him an aphrodisiac, and when it took effect, he mistook me for another woman. I wasn't paying attention, and I was kissed."

She didn't know how to explain it because she had never explained such a thing to anyone before, so she could only say it literally.

Qi Yue stared at her lips for a long time with half belief and half doubt, then suddenly approached her again.

Xiao Mo reacted quickly and dodged the kiss he wanted to give her. Afraid of being controlled by him again, she knelt down in front of him with swift movements.

"If your Highness feels that the matter between Shen Hanzhou and I has brought shame upon you, as your master, you can punish me directly."

Although it stands to reason that even if something happens between her and Shen Hanzhou, it is not his turn as an outsider to interfere, but in the current situation, she can only say this.

Xiao Mo's words and actions were too serious, making Qi Yue's already ugly face even darker. He frowned and asked her with a sneer: "Are you just protecting him like this? Do you know that the more you do this, the more I want to kill him."

Xiao Mo looked up at him and suddenly realized that she seemed to have walked into a dead end set by him.

No matter what she said, no matter whether they were innocent or not, in Qi Yue's eyes, Shen Hanzhou was a person who could not exist.

"So, Your Highness means that Shen Hanzhou must die?"

Qi Yue studied Xiao Mo's eyes, felt her emotions, and suddenly chuckled: "Actually, I don't necessarily want him to die. As long as he's not by your side, not in the imperial city, and out of my sight, life or death is fine."

Xiao Mo looked at him thoughtfully, and after a long while she replied, "I understand."

"You know, I think killing a minion quietly is as easy as crushing an ant."

After he added this, he reached out and helped her up: "Don't kneel down to me like this in the future." After that, he lifted the curtain of the car and left.

It was already very late when they returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because they couldn't find Xiao Mo in the palace, Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu stayed in the front hall after they returned.

The concubines and children who came out to greet Xiao Wenbo also started waiting together after they discovered that Xiao Mo was missing.

Except for Murong Shu and Xiao Wenbo who were really worried, no one else was unhappy.

Some people even thought that the emperor ended the banquet without any warning because of Xiao Mo. After all, his attitude towards Xiao Mo had always been vague.

Just as everyone was speculating, the voice of the gatekeeper came from outside the door: "The young lady is back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the door, and Murong Shu even walked forward excitedly.

"Mo'er, where have you been?! You didn't even tell Mom, Mom was so worried."

Xiao Mo smiled and comforted her, patting her hands and saying, "The banquet was noisy, so I went to the Imperial Garden to get some fresh air. When I came back, the palace banquet was over."

"Imperial Garden? Why didn't we see you when we passed by there when we left?" Xiao Wenbo frowned and asked her sternly.
