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

Seeing his master so distressed, Ling Su couldn't help but frown: "Your Highness, why don't you just express your feelings directly?"

"Hasn't what I've said been clear enough? The first time I asked the Emperor for permission to marry her, she volunteered to go out and fight the enemy. The second time, she said she wanted to help me heal my leg.

In the final analysis, it's not because I don't like him. If I use my power as a prince to force her, she will naturally not be able to escape. But I don't want him to hate me. Just look at Qi Yue and you will know."

Ling Su nodded as he listened, "Then, what does Your Highness need me to do next?"

"Just keep an eye on Qi Yue's movements, you don't have to do anything else."

At the palace gate, Yuan Mu was holding his horse in one hand and his sword in the other, following Qi Yue not too close.

"Your Highness, are you still going to the Prime Minister's Residence?" There was a subtle resentment in his tone.

His Highness rushed back from such a long distance and took a rest on the way. His face was visibly haggard.

As a result, he finally got home, but instead of having a good sleep, he had to go see a stranger first. How could he not be angry?

Qi Yue frowned and turned to look at Yuan Mu with sharp eyes: "What are you mumbling about?"

"I think since we're back now, we can go visit General Xiao any day, not just today."

"You go back first, I'll be back soon." Qi Yue answered the question irrelevantly and took the reins from his hand.

Although Yuan Mu was unhappy, it was impossible for him to go back home alone, so he could only follow reluctantly.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Mo had just returned from Qi Minxiu.

It's just that she was a little bit early. Seeing her walking into the door, Yuan Mu opened his mouth to shout, but was stopped by Qi Yue.

Yuan Mu was puzzled. Didn’t his prince come to see General Xiao?

Qi Yue licked his thin lips, walked to the outer wall of the prime minister's residence, and jumped in skillfully.

Yuan Mu stood at the foot of the wall, staring in amazement.

If he had climbed over the wall in the past, it was because his master always came late at night when everyone was asleep.

But now it's broad daylight and the gate over there is still open, but he just refuses to leave and insists on climbing over the wall like a thief.

Although he didn't understand, what could he do but respect and follow suit?

In Suqi Courtyard, Shen Yun followed Xiao Mo with a worried look on her face, "Miss, what did His Royal Highness Prince Chen do to make you angry?"

In Prince Chen's Mansion, she and Ling Su were called out of the room by Qi Minxiu. She had no idea what happened inside.

It wasn't until he saw Xiao Mo coming out of Qi Minxiu's room with a gloomy and melancholy look on her face that he realized something was wrong.

On the way back, she asked twice, but was ignored both times. She was worried that it would be bad for her health if she kept the matter in her heart, so she asked again tentatively.

Shen Yun thought she wouldn't answer easily, but Xiao Mo paused, frowned, and turned to look at her: "What kind of person do you think Prince Chen is?"

This sudden question stumped her.

Shen Yun's expression froze for a second, then she smiled and asked, "Why are you asking this suddenly, Miss? I've never met Prince Chen, so how do I know what kind of person he is?"

"He... kissed me today." Xiao Mo bit her lower lip and turned her face away in shame and anger.

"Ah?!" Shen Yun's deafening exclamation almost sent her away.

"What did you do when I was away? No wonder His Highness wanted to kick Ling Su and me out. So that's why."

Xiao Mo gave her a cold look. She was the one she was worried about and the one she was teasing.

Noticing Xiao Mo's displeasure, Shen Yun quickly stopped smiling and analyzed the situation seriously.

"I think His Royal Highness Prince Chen is a very good person. His leg injury is almost healed now. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what he thinks of you. You can give it a try."

"Give it a try? You think too highly of me." Xiao Mo walked to the door, shook her head, and exhaled heavily: "Isn't it just a kiss? It doesn't mean anything."

Seeing that she had figured it out, Shen Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. "It's great that you think so. A kiss doesn't mean anything."

"Go down, I want to be alone." Xiao Mo hung her head in depression.

If it were any other time, Shen Yun would not agree easily, but today was different. An unmarried girl needed to calm down and digest the kiss after being kissed.

"Don't think too much, miss. I'm just outside the door. Call me if you need anything."

"No need to stay here, go to the kitchen and ask someone to make some of our favorite food and bring it over."

When Shen Yun heard her say that she wanted to eat, she knew that the matter was not as serious as she thought.

Xiao Mo pushed the door open, walked around the screen, sat down at the table as usual, and poured herself a cup of herbal tea.

After drinking two cups, she noticed some noise in the inner room.

"Who?" She stood up with sharp eyes and stared at the curtain.

Qi Yue walked out while reading a copy of Zuo Zhuan: "Not bad, you can understand these books."

Xiao Mo raised her head and closed her eyes speechlessly. When she opened them again, there was only a cold light without any warmth in her eyes.

"Do you think I'm a place where you can come and go as you please?"

"I don't have to leave either, but there seems to be no precedent for a prince marrying into the prime minister's family in all dynasties."

Qi Yue curled the corners of his mouth mischievously, slammed the book in his hand shut, and walked over to sit opposite Xiao Mo.

"However, if you insist, I can also try to see if I can break this precedent."

Xiao Mo rolled her eyes in anger at his words, but at the same time she found it very funny.

"You can't break this precedent, and I don't mean to. Did you come in through the main entrance?"

In fact, it was useless to ask this question, because Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu would never let him enter the backyard.

He could stay in her room for so long, rummage through her things, and walk around freely. It was definitely impossible for him to come in through the main door.

Qi Yue's smile became more and more evil, and the look he gave Xiao Mo became extremely possessive: "What did you say about a kiss at the door just now? Who kissed you?"

When Xiao Mo heard him ask this, she felt a chill down her spine. His dangerous and fiery gaze made her feel guilty for having done something wrong.

But she quickly put this feeling behind her. She raised her chin slightly and glanced at him sideways: "What's it to you?"

Qi Yue was blocked by her, and his face darkened instantly: "What did you say?"

"Your Highness Prince Jin, aren't you meddling too much? You and I are both single, and we're not close friends. It's better to keep a certain distance."

Xiao Mo couldn't help but stand up, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the man in front of her helplessly.
