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

Seeing the two of them being so close, Qi Yue's face instantly fell.

He snatched Xiao Mo's hand from Qi Minxiu's, and while checking it, he said in an unhappy tone: "You are already a general, but you are still so clumsy in doing things. Let me see."

Xiao Mo looked at his approaching face speechlessly, and pulled her hand back without any hesitation: "I'm not hurt."

He snorted twice in dissatisfaction, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Qi Minxiu handing her a plucked chicken leg.

She grinned at him, took the chicken leg and wanted to chew it, but Qi Yue snatched it away.

Xiao Mo looked at him in confusion and was about to curse when he pulled out another chicken drumstick and handed it to her: "This one is more flavorful, eat this one."

He clearly understood this childish trick.

Qi Minxiu glanced at him with a fake smile, took the chicken leg from Xiao Mo's hand, and while peeling off the chicken skin for her, he said to Qi Yue, "She doesn't like eating chicken skin."

Qi Yue was choked by his words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

No, how did he know Xiao Mo's preferences so well? It happened at the palace banquet before. She didn't want the daughter's red wine given by the emperor, so Qi Minxiu turned around and asked the palace maid to pour her a glass of fruit wine.

The marriage was also arranged. Before Xiao Mo came back, he went to ask the emperor to marry him to the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was about to return to the city.

Did they really know each other a long time ago?

Qi Yue had guessed this idea after Xiao Mo returned from the expedition.

However, she was sent to Qinshan as soon as she was born, while Qi Minxiu was born and raised in the imperial city. How are they connected?

He stared blankly at Xiao Mo, who was eating with her mouth full of oil, and became even more curious about her.

Coming back to his senses, he smiled and peeled off the skin from the chicken leg in his hand, handed it to Xiao Mo, and asked casually, "When did you two meet?"

Xiao Mo paused, wanting to swallow before answering, but Qi Minxiu spoke first: "A long, long time ago."

It seemed that he didn't want Qi Yue to know. Xiao Mo thought that the time he was hunted was related to the affairs of the former dynasty and the harem. Since he didn't want to say it, she wouldn't say it either.

Qi Yue didn't care about Qi Minxiu's answer and kept staring at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo looked away and started eating meat again. "It's true that we met a few times a long time ago."

Qi Yue thought about it for a while, and finally gave up the topic with a chuckle.

Qi Minxiu had been helping Xiao Mo pick the tenderest meat from the chicken, and gave the tougher ones to the other three.

Qi Yue couldn't stand him doing this, so he joined in.

Xiao Mo originally wanted to eat some roast chicken quietly and didn't want to arouse the two people's desire to win. In order to end this farce, she could only let Shen Yun help her back to the room.

"Yun, pack up your things, let's go home."

After entering the room, she walked to the side and sat down. She moved her body slightly and pulled the wound, causing her to groan.

Shen Yun quickly stepped forward to check on her body: "What's wrong, Miss?"

"It's okay. I haven't been home for several days. If I don't go back soon, my wife will be worried."

Shen Yun also felt that what she said made sense. She looked around and spread her hands: "We don't have anything to take away."

Qi Yue, who had just arrived, heard this and walked in with a frown: "Where are you going?"

Xiao Mo supported the table with one hand and looked up at him lazily: "Of course I'm going home."

Qi Minxiu followed closely behind, pushing the wheelchair and stopping behind Qi Yue: "If you can't get used to living here, you can come back to Prince Chen's Mansion with me."

Before Xiao Mo could refuse, Qi Yue got angry.

He turned around and glared at Qi Minxiu: "How can you steal someone like this? She's seriously injured, and you're paralyzed. Who's going to take care of her?"

"Being paralyzed is better than being a wild wolf like you. There are many careful maids in Prince Chen's Mansion, and any one of them is better at taking care of people than you."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xiao Mo held her forehead speechlessly: "Yun, come and help me."

Qi Yue turned his head, looking murderous: "Why are you leaving? You're as pale as paper, and you look thin and haggard. Aren't you afraid that they'll worry when you go back?"

Xiao Mo subconsciously touched her face and looked at Shen Yun with a questioning look.

Shen Yun looked at her carefully and nodded: "Your Highness is right. You should stay here for two days and go back when you feel better."

Since even she said so, Xiao Mo didn't insist anymore.

She lost too much blood and has been feeling dizzy ever since she woke up. Although she is conscious, she becomes dizzy when she makes any big movements.

"Okay, then I'll stay for two more days. You guys go out. I want to sleep."

The two men didn't expect that she would agree so readily, and they were overjoyed.

Xiao Mo was afraid that her appearance would scare Murong Shu when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she reluctantly agreed to stay.

She didn't expect that Qi Yue and Qi Minxiu had been arguing with each other these days, causing unrest in the entire palace. She really regretted it a hundred times. If she had known this would happen, she should have insisted on going back.

After lunch that day, the two of them started arguing again over a trivial matter. After Xiao Mo scolded them, she told them that she wanted to go back.

Qi Yue still wanted to keep her, but she was very persistent. After his persuasion failed, he personally sent her to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage.

Although he reminded her many times along the way to take good care of her injuries after returning home, he couldn't help but remind her again after the carriage stopped.

Xiao Mo's hand that was about to lift the car curtain paused when she heard his words.

"Besides, my ears are about to get calluses. Thank you for taking care of me these days, and thank you for sending me back. There are so many people around, so please leave now."

After saying these words, she turned around and gave him a faint smile, then took Shen Yun's hand and got off the carriage.

She has been replenishing her qi and blood these days. The remaining toxins in her body have not been eliminated, and the wound has not scabbed over. She cannot make any big movements on her left arm, otherwise it will bleed immediately.

Now that she is back home, the first thing she has to do is to force out the remaining poison in her body.

"Yun, you don't have to go in with me. Go to the pharmacy outside and buy some medicine for me." After entering the gate of the prime minister's mansion, Xiao Mo stopped.

Shen Yun looked at her worriedly, "I'd better take you back to your room first."

"You should have noticed when you changed my bandages these days that my wounds haven't scabbed because the remaining toxins in my body haven't been completely eliminated."

She patted her shoulder and continued, "I'll tell you about some medicine. Go buy it and boil it into bath water for me. Bathing is the best way to detoxify."

After listening to this, Shen Yun nodded in understanding: "Then I'll go, you go back slowly."

"After these days of care, except for the pain from the wound, everything else is almost healed."

Xiao Mo gave her a reassuring smile, waved at her, and turned to walk towards the mansion.

In the front hall, Xiao Wenbo looked at Murong Shu kneeling on the ground with anger, while Lin and Xiao Xiang sat beside them with a look of watching the show.

Xiao Mo heard his roar before she even walked into the front yard.

She couldn't hear what he said, but she could tell from his tone how angry he was.

She quickly walked around the path in the yard, and just as she stopped, she saw Xiao Wenbo raising his hand to hit her.

Xiao Mo's pupils tightened, and without thinking too much, she quickly stepped forward to block Murong Shu, and took the slap that was about to fall with one hand.
