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

She walked forward with a smile, but before she could open her mouth, Yuan Mu, who saw what she was thinking, pulled her out.

"What are you doing? I need to take care of my young lady!" Shen Yun angrily shook off his hand.

Yuan Mu looked at her helplessly: "Can you be a little more discerning? Why did General Xiao risk his life to save me? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yun's anger instantly subsided.

How could she not have thought about it? Judging from what Yuan Mu said, could it be that her young lady really liked His Royal Highness Prince Jin?

If that's the case, then she probably wants to be alone with Prince Jin.

In the room, Xiao Mo leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the person in front of her with resistance written all over his face.

Qi Yue smiled and called the servants over: "Go and kill a fresh chicken now."

The maid stood in the distance, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Your Highness, we don't raise chickens in the mansion."

"Don't you know to buy it?!" He shouted softly, scaring the already uneasy maid.

Yuan Mu heard Qi Yue's words at the door and quickly turned around and went in: "Your Highness, I'm going to buy it and will be back soon."

Xiao Mo was stunned by this series of operations.

No, he... She didn't seem to say anything, right? She wasn't resisting him because of this, but because she didn't want to be so close to him. Didn't he notice?

Thinking of the way Qi Yue looked at her after she woke up and his actions and words towards her, she couldn't help but frown.

Could this person have misunderstood something?

Xiao Mo pursed her lips, moved her uninjured left side, and stretched out her left hand to take the bowl from Qi Yue's hand: "I'd better do it myself."

Qi Yue refused, his eyes instantly turned cold: "You can't hold the bowl steadily, stop making trouble."

He smiled, scooped up a spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew gently. Xiao Mo did not retract her outstretched hand, but stopped in mid-air and clenched it into a fist helplessly.

Stop it~ When did she start making trouble? There are so many maids in the mansion that he doesn't need, but he has to be so ambiguous with her.

If she hadn't been injured, she really wanted to overturn the bowl in his hand, slap him, and then turn around and leave.

She must have been crazy to have blocked the arrow for him in the woods.

Qi Yue's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he looked down at Xiao Mo, whose expression was changing constantly: "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

Xiao Mo's expression changed instantly, and her beautiful eyes blinked: "You are the prince, how dare I scold you."

"Don't you dare scold me? Didn't you say it freely before?" He moved closer to her with a smile on his face.

Xiao Mo dodged to the side imperceptibly, cleared her throat and said, "Sit up straight, I have something to tell you."

Qi Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought she was going to say something nice to him, and his eyes wrinkled with a smile: "You say it."

Xiao Mo looked into his eyes without any psychological burden. "I blocked the arrow for you not because I like you, but because of my body's conditioned reflex."

The maid standing at the door couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves after hearing this, for fear of laughing.

The smile on Qi Yue's face froze suddenly. He turned his head and glanced coldly at the door. The maids' expressions instantly became serious.

He turned around with a helpless smile, his eyes fixed on Xiao Mo: "Conditioned reflex? That's reflected on me too, isn't it?"

Xiao Mo opened her mouth slightly, speechless at his self-hypnotic defense.

"My master taught me since I was a child to be a person who is brave and righteous, and to be kind and generous.

You didn't see the man hiding in the tree at the time, but I did. Of course, I couldn't just stand by and watch you get hurt."

Xiao Mo was afraid that her explanation was not enough and would not achieve the desired effect, so she continued, "Besides, no matter who was standing in your position at the time, I would have saved them."

Her words completely blocked Qi Yue's words, and he was so angry that he bit his cheek and couldn't think of any response for a long time.

Just at this moment, the guard at the gate came in and said that Prince Chen had arrived.

Qi Yue and Xiao Mo looked at each other in confusion, both feeling somewhat puzzled by his arrival.

After coming back to her senses, Xiao Mo smiled and asked him, "It seems that your relationship is not as incompatible as the outside world says. Does he come to see you often? But he is a patient, so you should visit him."

Qi Yue chuckled twice, but his true intention was to laugh. Then Qi Minxiu's voice came from the door: "Royal brother, how are you these days?"

Ling Su pushed him into the house. When he saw that the person sitting on the bed was Xiao Mo, an unfathomable dark light flashed in his eyes.

He looked at her in shock: "Amo is here? No wonder Ling Su didn't find anyone when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Speaking of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Mo's face changed, and she looked at Ling Su anxiously: "Have you been to the Prime Minister's Mansion? I wasn't there, what did the Madam say?"

Ling Su glanced at Qi Minxiu casually and said respectfully, "I didn't see Madam. The gatekeeper asked me if the general had forgotten to bring anything. That's when I realized you weren't at home, so I covered it up for you."

After hearing his answer, Xiao Mo's heart finally settled down.

However, there was one thing she was still a little curious about, that is, how did he know she was here?

She wondered if there was such a thing as telepathy in the world. Just as she finished wondering about it, Qi Minxiu smiled and began to explain.

"I've run out of the medicine you left at my house. I went to ask you but you weren't there. I thought you might have gone out to play, so I asked Ling Su to push me to the street to buy medicine and look for you.

Guess who I ran into? I ran into Liu, the imperial physician from the palace. I was just wondering why I ran into him there, but he told me first, and that’s when I realized you were injured here.”

At first glance, this didn't seem like a big deal, especially for Xiao Mo, who didn't know Qi Minxiu well. When she heard him say that he couldn't find her and was going outside to look for her, she felt really guilty.

But only Qi Yue knew how true his words were.

Since his leg injury, he has never been out on the street, and he doesn't even want to show up at ordinary palace banquets.

He also said that he met Imperial Physician Liu, and that Imperial Physician Liu did not go to his side when he returned to the palace.

These words could only comfort Xiao Mo, whose mind was not very clear after she just woke up.

Qi Minxiu wheeled his wheelchair to the bedside. His smile faded as he looked at her with concern. "What happened? Why do you look so bad? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've lost so much weight."

Xiao Mo bit her lip and looked at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue folded his hands in front of his chest, and after receiving Xiao Mo's gaze, he reluctantly simplified what had happened.

After Qi Minxiu listened carefully, his expression became less cheerful.

After a moment of silence, he raised the corner of his mouth again: "Amo, I saw you yawning, do you want to rest?"

Xiao Mo looked at him in confusion. When did she yawn?

Without waiting for her to answer, Qi Minxiu called Shen Yun and then asked Qi Yue to leave, saying that the noise and crowds would be detrimental to Xiao Mo's cultivation.

Qi Yue knew that this was not the only reason why he asked him to go out, so he didn't say anything. He gave Xiao Mo and Shen Yun a few words and followed him to the outer corridor.

After coming out, the two of them tacitly put away the fake smiles on their faces, and their expressions became more serious than the other.

"Such a big thing, why didn't you send someone to inform me after you escaped danger?"

Qi Minxiu had his back to Qi Yue. Although his face could not be seen, he could tell from his tone that he was very angry.
