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

After that day, Xiao Mo went to Lu's house for seven or eight days in a row.

She wanted to cure the man's leg quickly to avoid Mrs. Lu praising her every time she came.

But damp-cold symptoms cannot be cured in a day or two, which is what worries her the most.

She went there in the morning and came back at noon every day. In the afternoon, when she had nothing to do, she would write and practice sword, or go horseback riding and hunting outside the city.

Qi Yue came to visit her twice. When he heard that she had ridden out of the city on horseback, he went to the city gate to block her once. The second time, he followed her.

She thought that they would be in an uncomfortable relationship, but unexpectedly his behavior was within her acceptable range, which made her feel that he seemed to have changed.

When Qi Minxiu learned about Xiao Mo's whereabouts these days, he was so angry that his face turned black.

He thought that he kissed her that day and she hid in the mansion because she was shy.

As a result, not only did she not have any emotional fluctuations because of that incident, she also went out with Qi Yue on the Chinese Valentine's Day and went out of the city to hunt together.

That morning, Xiao Mo packed her things as usual and planned to go to Lu's Mansion.

But as soon as he walked out of the hospital, he saw Ling Su following behind the nanny.

She was a little shocked, but also felt it made sense: "Why are you here? Is His Royal Highness Prince Chen feeling unwell?"

There was a hint of resentment in Ling Su's eyes when he looked at Xiao Mo, but it only flashed by.

"Your Highness is injured. Please ask General Xiao to go with me."

She didn't know why, she just asked casually, but when she heard him say that Qi Minxiu was injured, her heart beat faster.

"Let's go." Xiao Mo put away the smile on her face and walked past him towards the door.

Shen Yun came out later and was stunned when she saw Ling Su.

But when she saw the expression on his face and Xiao Mo's back as she left, she knew that she didn't need to go to the Lu Mansion today.

After walking two steps, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something and turned around to tell Shen Yun.

"Replace the medicine in the medicine box with the medicine for Prince Chen, and then go to the Lu Mansion and tell them that I can't go today because of something. I will go again this afternoon or tomorrow."

Shen Yun nodded in agreement.

In the backyard of Prince Chen's Mansion, Qi Minxiu sat in a wheelchair, reading a book and basking in the sun.

When he saw Xiao Mo coming, he couldn't suppress the joy on his face, but the joy soon faded away.

Xiao Mo walked closer to him, bent down and glanced at the book in his hand: "What are you reading?"

"Records of the Grand Historian." Qi Minxiu closed the book and put it aside. "How come you have time to come to my place today? I thought you had forgotten me."

Xiao Mo looked at him in confusion, then turned to look at Ling Su, her eyes saying, "Didn't you ask me to come here?"

After running all sorts of guesses through her mind, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why do your words sound a bit sour to me?"

"What's there to be jealous about? I'm not yours." Qi Minxiu said softly with a hint of sadness.

Xiao Mo looked at his profile and suddenly felt that he seemed to have lost weight.

Thinking of what they said when Ling Su came to see her, her eyes changed slightly. She squatted down and asked worriedly: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Your legs?"

Qi Minxiu glared at Ling Su secretly, and Xiao Mo saw it at that moment.

She sneered at him angrily: "Why are you glaring at me? If you're not feeling well, you'll find me. But you, on the other hand, want to endure it?"

Qi Minxiu retracted his gaze and looked to the side: "You haven't come here since that incident. I thought you hated me."

Xiao Mo naturally knew what he was talking about and comforted him: "I forgot about that incident a long time ago. I haven't been here these days because of other things."

"what's up?"

"A few days ago, the young master of the Lu family came to me and said that her mother's leg disease had not been cured for a long time and wanted me to go and see her, so I went."

Qi Minxiu's eyes dimmed, and he glanced at Xiao Mo with deep eyes before quickly looking away: "So in your heart, I rank last."

Xiao Mo didn't know what was wrong with him and why he suddenly said such sad words.

But thinking that it was indeed quite a few days since I had come, it didn't make sense, so I could only go along with his words to comfort him.

“I never rank people in my mind, but if I really had to, you’d be number one.”

Hearing her say this, Qi Minxiu's eyes lit up.

He happily held Xiao Mo's hand. Xiao Mo was afraid that he would talk about something else, so she asked him where he was injured before he could open his mouth.

But Qi Minxiu was a little secretive and didn't want to say it directly.

Just when Xiao Mo was wondering if he had deliberately lied about being injured to trick her into coming, Ling Su, who couldn't bear it any longer, spoke up.

"Your Highness, please show your injuries to General Xiao."

Xiao Mo turned to look at Qi Minxiu in slight shock: "What's going on?"

"A few days ago, His Highness felt that he was almost able to walk on his own after practicing, so he leaned on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

As a result, when he was pouring water, his feet gave way and he fell, and the boiling water spilled on his chest, causing severe burns.

At that time, I seemed to hear a crisp sound of bone fracture, but His Highness insisted that he was fine and only applied some ointment to the burn on his chest.

Seeing him gasping for air in pain every day, I took the initiative to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find you."

The more Xiao Mo listened, the tighter her brows furrowed. She didn't understand why Qi Minxiu didn't see a doctor.

But then I thought again that he didn't like the doctor because he didn't want outsiders to see his miserable side.

"Come on, let me see you inside." Xiao Mo pushed him into the room with an ugly look on her face as if someone had offended her.

Where she couldn't see, the corners of Qi Minxiu's mouth were almost raised to the sky.

When they reached the door, Ling Su stopped outside sensibly. After the two entered the house, he considerately helped them close the door.

Inside the room, Xiao Mo pushed Qi Minxiu to the window of the inner room, stretched out her hands and finally stopped them in mid-air.

Qi Minxiu watched her movements and chuckled softly: "If you feel it's inconvenient, I can do it myself, you can go out."

Xiao Mo pursed her lips and retracted her hand: "From what Ling Su said, it seems to be quite serious. I'd better take a look to feel more at ease."

Qi Minxiu turned his head to look at the crabapple blossoms outside the window without saying much.

Xiao Mo swallowed her saliva, reached to his waist with trembling hands, and untied his white jade belt.

As the belt loosened, Qi Minxiu's collar dropped, revealing his fair collarbone and strong chest.

But the bright red color on the delicate skin was out of place.

Xiao Mo widened her eyes, held her breath, and gently took off his clothes from his shoulders.

It would have been fine if I hadn't seen the result, but I was really shocked when I saw it.

An area on his chest, about the size of two palms, was completely burned.

There were blisters on his face, some of which were punctured, making his skin wrinkled. The more serious areas were even bleeding.

It is obvious that this was caused by not seeking medical treatment in time. If a doctor had been called right after the burn, the situation would not have been so serious.

Xiao Mo was a little angry at him for not taking care of his body, and she unconsciously increased the strength in her hands.

It wasn't until Qi Minxiu couldn't help but groan that she reacted.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get something." Xiao Mo glanced at him unhappily.

She first went to the door and asked the maid to bring her a basin of clean water, and then asked Ling Su for all the external injury medicines in the palace.

After the water came, she wet the handkerchief, wrung it out, and wiped the skin around Qi Minxiu's wound three times.

Just at this time Ling Su came in with medicine. Xiao Mo was dazzled by the various exquisite medicine bottles.

She picked out a few bottles and let Ling Su take the rest back.
