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

At the door of the inn, Qi Yue looked up at the stars in the sky.

It's almost Yin time. Although the road is difficult to walk on at night, Xiao Mo's injury will only get worse if she stays here. It's better to take her back and let the imperial physician in the palace take a look.

While he was planning in his mind, the landlady led a brown horse to him.

He put all the clothes he could take off on Xiao Mo, rode at full speed without stopping, and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion at dawn.

When Yuan Mu saw that he returned safely, his eyes turned red and he almost cried.

Xiao Mo was covered tightly by him, so Yuan Mu didn't notice it for a while.

It was not until Qi Yue put her on the bed and lifted the clothes on her that Yuan Mu gasped in shock at the scene before him.

"Hey, why is General Xiao injured so badly?"

Qi Yue did not answer his question, but looked at him seriously and said, "Go to the palace and ask for Dr. Liu."

Yuan Mu took another look at the disheveled Xiao Mo, and without wasting a moment, he turned around and ran out.

Qi Yue stayed by the bed and used several basins of water to wipe her body clean.

Since her previous clothes were already stained with black blood and looked fishy and sticky, he asked the maid to help her change her clothes while he was waiting for the imperial physician to come.

Considering the special location of her wounds, he asked the maid to cut her clothes at the arrow wound and the knife wound on her arm, leaving only the wounds exposed.

This is to prevent the imperial physician from seeing something he shouldn't see, or from deliberately avoiding suspicion and making an unclear diagnosis.

Fortunately, Imperial Physician Liu was not on duty today and was staying in his own house outside the palace, so he arrived quickly.

On the way, Yuan Mu briefly explained to him the purpose of inviting him and Xiao Mo's injuries.

After arriving at Prince Jin's Mansion, the two went straight to the backyard.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jin." Although he knew that saving lives and curing illnesses were urgent, Imperial Physician Liu still saluted Qi Yue first.

Before he even knelt down, Qi Yue hurried forward to help him up: "No need to be so polite, go see General Xiao."

The imperial physician glanced sideways, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked forward.

Because Yuan Mu said that Xiao Mo's injury was below the collarbone and level with the armpit.

He was afraid that she would expose too much skin due to her injuries, so he wanted to take a look at her from a distance before taking appropriate treatment measures.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo was wearing plain clothes and wrapped her body tightly, otherwise he really didn't know how to start.

Imperial Physician Liu walked to the bedside with his head down and sat down. The maid sensibly took Xiao Mo's hand out from under the quilt, revealing her wrist.

He took the patient's pulse carefully with a serious look on his face, and his expression changed from good to bad. Qi Yue, who was hanging beside him, also changed his expression.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and no one dared to make any noise.

After a long time, Imperial Physician Liu withdrew his hand and looked at Qi Yue: "I wonder if I could take a look at the general's wound."

Qi Yue raised his chin, and the maid serving beside him immediately understood and gently fiddled with the cut cloth covering the wound.

Imperial Physician Liu looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and the maid lifted the cloth covering Xiao Mo's arm.

He nodded, his expression softening as he turned around. "Your Highness, the poison from the arrow that struck the general has been mostly cured. The cause of his fainting was excessive blood loss."

Thinking of the black blood that kept oozing out of Xiao Mo's wound at the inn, Qi Yue couldn't help but frown: "So, should we cleanse the remaining poison or replenish our Qi and blood first?"

"General Xiao's medical skills are profound. When poisoned, he cut the skin to let the first and most powerful poison flow out of the body.

The remaining toxins were expelled through acupuncture, and now the remaining toxins in the body are relatively mild and will not cause any actual harm to the body.

On the contrary, a serious deficiency of Qi and blood may even put one's life in danger."

Qi Yue understood what he meant, but before he could open his mouth to give any instructions, Yuan Mu called the maid over for him: "Go and prepare some food and Chinese medicine to nourish yin and replenish blood."

Imperial Physician Liu glanced at Xiao Mo, who had her eyes closed, with approval, and felt very pleased that his country of Nan Yao had gained another young talent.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Yun was about to go out to find Yuan Mu to ask about Qi Yue's situation and see if Xiao Mo had gone back to Prince Jin's Mansion with him.

When passing by the front hall, I accidentally overheard the conversation between Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu.

At the beginning, they were just chatting about family matters and Shen Yun didn't pay much attention to it. However, when she turned the corner, she heard something that was very useful to her.

"We left court early today. On the way, I ran into Prince Jin's attendants bringing Imperial Physician Liu to Prince Jin's residence. They seemed to be in a hurry. Could something have happened to him?"

Xiao Wenbo said a lot, but Shen Yun only paid attention to these few sentences.

That’s right, Xiao Mo must be in Prince Jin’s Mansion!

Shen Yun happily ran straight to the door. When she arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, she saw Qi Yue sitting by the bed, hugging the unconscious Xiao Mo and feeding her medicine.

Just as she was about to speak, Yuan Mu pulled her aside and said, "Let's go out and serve."

Shen Yun turned her head and looked at him puzzledly: "Why do you want to go out? I want to go see my young lady."

Yuan Mu looked at her helplessly, a little angry at her for not having any tact.

His Highness finally has a chance to have close contact with General Xiao, so he cannot be ignorant.

"Come here and I'll tell you." Yuan Mu pulled Shen Yun out of the house and told her what Qi Yue had told him.

After hearing about Qi Yue and Xiao Mo's experience after they separated yesterday, Shen Yun's eyes were filled with guilt, and she couldn't help but stretch her head to see what was happening in the house.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stayed to help you, Miss!"

She turned around and walked into the room with a crying voice when Yuan Mu was off guard.

In fact, Qi Yue heard the conversation between the two of them at the door just now, but he ignored it because of the person in his arms.

No matter how sad Shen Yun was, she still respectfully bowed to Qi Yue after entering the inner room.

Qi Yue carefully held the medicine bowl in his hand, feeding Xiao Mo little by little, and responded with an unhappy expression.

"How did you know she was here? Did Yuan Mu come to see you?"

Shen Yun was very unhappy with his question. From what he said, he didn't want her to know?

But even if she was unhappy, she didn't dare show it: "I just wanted to try my luck and see if the young lady came back with you."

Qi Yue carefully wiped the corners of Xiao Mo's mouth and gently put her down, still not looking at her: "She is injured and needs to recuperate in Prince Jin's Mansion for some time. Do you know how to respond when you get back?"

Shen Yun stared at Xiao Mo, whose face was as pale as paper and lips were bloodless, lying on the bed in shock.

Murong Shu asked her when she saw her last night. At that time, she was afraid that she would worry, so she lied and said that Xiao Mo was in Prince Chen's Mansion.

Because she often stayed at Qi Minxiu's place before, Murong Shu didn't think much of it except that she was unhappy.

"Your Highness, could you please tell me what happened to you yesterday?"

Shen Yun wanted to know about Xiao Mo's situation, so even though Qi Yue didn't look very happy, she still mustered up the courage to ask.

I thought he would change the subject or simply ignore me, but I didn't expect him to tell Shen Yun in detail what happened yesterday.

"If she hadn't blocked the poison arrow for me, I would be the one lying here now."

He reached out and gently brushed the loose hair on Xiao Mo's forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After hearing what he said, Shen Yun just sighed heavily.
