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

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally Xiao Mo couldn't bear it anymore and looked away.

Although they didn't do anything intimate, the air around them became inexplicably hot.

Xiao Mo stood up somewhat bewilderedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and forced herself to calm down: "Have you been taking your medication and exercising regularly while I was away?"

Qi Minxiu originally wanted to tease her, but seeing that she adjusted her mood so quickly, he gave up the idea.

He lowered his eyes, looking unwilling to face the situation. "I eat as needed, apply the compresses, and exercise as needed. I can stand up now, but I just can't take a step. It's like I'm stepping on cotton."

Xiao Mo looked at his knees with some confusion, squinted her eyes, and thought that this shouldn't be the case.

Logically speaking, even if he can't walk freely like a normal person, he should be able to walk slowly with the help of something.

But his expression and eyes revealed sadness. Could it be that her medicine was not used correctly, or was not strong enough?

No, even if you want to change or add more medicine, you have to see where his limit is first.

"Come, let me help you stand up and walk for a while, so I can see how well your knees and ankles have recovered."

Qi Minxiu looked at her with some embarrassment: "I'm not light, can you help me up?"

"Don't underestimate me. I'm not some delicate little lady in the boudoir. Come, give me your hand."

Xiao Mo carefully supported his waist and helped him stand up little by little.

"If you stand like this, can you stand on your own if I let go?"

"No, you have to hold on to something when you stand, otherwise you will fall down after a while."

"Okay, come on, follow my steps and move a little, left foot first."

Qi Minxiu frowned, gritted his teeth and followed Xiao Mo's steps, moving in small steps.

Xiao Mo smiled with relief, and just as she was about to look up to praise him, he fell straight on her.

The two fell to the ground with a thud, and Qi Minxiu reflexively protected the back of Xiao Mo's head with his hands.

Xiao Mo fell down, with someone on top of her, and cried out in pain.

Qi Minxiu quickly propped up his arms, and when he moved his hands he realized that she had her little hands around his waist, and his face turned red.

"I'm sorry, I want to hold on a little longer, but I really..."

"It's okay. You have to take your time with things like this. If you rush, you'll easily get hurt again."

Xiao Mo comforted him, gently slipped out of his arms, and then carefully helped him up.

"Rest for a while and we'll come back. I just took a look and the meridians in your legs are almost healed. If you keep taking the medicine and exercising, you'll be able to move freely in less than three months."

Qi Minxiu looked at her with sparkling eyes, then turned sideways and threw himself into her arms: "Amo, thank you."

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open, and after a while she spoke a little embarrassedly: "No, it's okay."

Qi Minxiu raised the corners of his mouth and gently raised his head from her arms: "Will you accompany me to practice until I am fully recovered?"

Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to answer his question, he sat back in his chair in a huff.

Helpless, she could only hook her arm around his waist and coax him softly, "Yes, of course I will be responsible for healing you. I will come to accompany you as long as I am free."

With this promise, Qi Minxiu's drooping mouth corners lifted up again.

The two rested for a while and then started the second round of rehabilitation exercises.

They practiced intermittently until the afternoon. Seeing Qi Minxiu's steps becoming more and more steady, Xiao Mo was extremely relieved.

"Look at your steps now, aren't they better than in the morning?" Xiao Mo asked him happily, looking at Qi Minxiu's legs.

But before the person next to her could respond, a huge force suddenly pressed down on her.

This was the fifth time Qi Minxiu fell today, but the difference this time was that their positions were swapped.

It was also thanks to Qi Minxiu's quick reaction that he turned Xiao Mo around at the moment before she landed.

Under the impact of irregular gravity, they fell magnificently onto the edge of the table.

Xiao Mo lay on Qi Minxiu's body, looking at his face so close to her, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

They actually, actually kissed!

At this moment, Qi Minxiu's heart was pounding like a deer.

Xiao Mo reacted and lowered her eyes shyly, trying to get up at a loss.

But the moment he stood up, a big hand gently pressed the back of his head, and the slightly cold thin lips touched his again.

Her pupils dilated in shock, and she ejaculated like a spring when Qi Minxiu was about to deepen the kiss.

"I, I, I didn't mean it..." Xiao Mo explained stutteringly with her back to the person lying on the ground.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt as if something was wrong.

The first time was indeed an accident on her part, but the second time seemed to be intentional on his part. Why should she explain? He should be the one to explain.

Moreover, if she hadn't dodged quickly, he was going to stick out his tongue!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo's shyness turned into anger. She turned around with her hands on her hips and glared at Qi Minxiu.

Just as she was about to ask, he stretched out his hand towards Xiao Mo with an uncomfortable look on his face: "I seem to have fallen, it hurts a little."

Xiao Mo blinked twice and saw the sweat dripping from his temples. She was so scared that she even forgot to be angry.

She quickly bent down to help him up, staring at his legs and asking nervously: "Where did you fall?"

Because they were practicing walking, Xiao Mo subconsciously thought that he had broken his leg.

But after she helped Qi Minxiu sit on the chair, Qi Minxiu frowned and smiled and placed her hand on his heart.

"I fell here." He said half-jokingly.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red instantly after she realized what was happening.

She pulled her hand back speechlessly and turned back to sort out the medicine box: "Let's stop here for today."

Qi Minxiu pursed his lips and chuckled as he looked at her: "Sorry, I was just joking."

Xiao Mo turned her back to him, picked up her things in a panic and walked out: "Well, just practice more according to the method I taught you today. I, I'm leaving first."

Seeing her quickly leaving, Ling Su, who was guarding outside the yard, scratched his head in confusion.

Inside the room, Qi Minxiu stared at the door with an unfathomable look on his face. Only when Ling Su came in did he retract the sharpness in his eyes.

Hearing his helpless sigh, Ling Su was even more puzzled: "Your Highness, what about General Xiao?"

"I lost control and acted too hastily. She might not come in the next few days."

Qi Minxiu withdrew his gaze, took out a jade pendant with a heart knot from his arms, and sighed again.

"I don't know when I can give this thing to her."

The white jade in his hand brought his thoughts back to the past.

He had been to Qinshan three times before his leg was injured. Once he went to see her, and they went to the back mountain to play after dinner. They accidentally picked up a piece of jade. Seeing that the jade was of good quality, he took it back.

I had wanted to carve this piece of jade and give it to her on her birthday the following year, but unexpectedly, her leg was broken and the matter was put on hold.
