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

The front yard was bustling with laughter and joy, while at the same time the backyard rooms were eerily quiet.

Several people acted separately and soon discovered that something was wrong in the west wing.

The mansions hosting such banquets usually keep the gates of the two rear courtyards closed, while the gate of the west wing is left ajar.

Out of instinct, Qi Minxiu stepped forward and pushed open the thick wooden door.

The moment the door opened, a dark shadow flashed across the roof in the distance.

If you are not a martial artist, it would be difficult to detect the fleeting clue.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly pushed the wheelchair deeper into the yard.

In the side room, when Lu Huai saw that the person lying next to him was Xiao Mo, he was so shocked that he almost regained consciousness.

He forced himself to endure the discomfort and helped Xiao Mo tear off the cloth covering her eyes.

But at this time, her consciousness was already blurred and she could not see clearly what was in front of her.

Lu Huai called her softly: "Miss Xiao? Miss Xiao, wake up..."

Xiao Mo opened her eyes with difficulty. The blurry face made it difficult for her to recognize the person in front of her, but she could tell from the voice.

"Lu Huai, is that you?" she asked tentatively, her tone uncontrollably soft.

Lu Huai panted softly, dragging his burning body to hide aside: "It's me, we've been tricked."

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth, and beads of sweat dripped down her forehead.

After a while, she felt her head go blank, and just when she was about to lose consciousness, a ray of light came from the door.

She didn't know who was coming, nor did she know whether the person was an enemy or a friend. At this moment, she simply didn't have the energy to think too much.

Through the slits of her eyes, she only saw that the person coming was a tall man. At first, she thought that this man was the same person who pretended to be a maid before.

But strangely, he did not attack her, but instead carried Lu Huai out.

Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she closed her eyes, the door was pushed open again.

The man who had just carried Lu Huai away had returned. Could it be that he wanted to...

Xiao Mo was startled and tried to sit up. The man saw her and slapped her on the neck. She fainted instantly as she was already weak in consciousness.

In the front yard, Xiao Xiang ran to Murong Shu with a well-behaved and sensible look on her face, looked around and asked her where Xiao Mo had gone.

Murong Shu also looked around and frowned in confusion, "I didn't see her either. Maybe she went out to play."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiang took out a purse with a look of disappointment: "I was planning to give this to my sister as a birthday present, but it seems I'll have to give it to her later."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Shen Yun came over and said, "Madam, isn't the young lady here with you?"

Murong Shu looked at her doubtfully, her brows furrowed even tighter. "You're not with the young lady, where did you go?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen gave Miss a jade screen, and His Royal Highness Prince Jin gave Miss a wooden chaise longue. I went to help set them up." After saying this, she also frowned.

The servant who was cleaning the dishes not far away heard their conversation, walked over and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xiang, then quickly lowered his head and said.

"Just now, I saw the young lady pulling Mr. Lu into the west wing in a mysterious manner."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it seemed as if he was speaking specifically to the people around him.

Xiao Xiang pretended to be angry and shouted in a delicate voice: "Don't talk nonsense and slander the young lady's innocence. You deserve to chop off several heads."

The servant glanced at Murong Shu in panic, and suddenly knelt down when he saw someone not far behind her.

"I dare not speak nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes."

Xiao Wenbo put one hand behind his back and asked sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? What did you see with your own eyes?"

When she heard his voice, Murong Shu's body froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted and winked at the person kneeling on the ground.

But the man seemed not to understand and repeated what he had just said to Xiao Wenbo.

Xiao Wenbo became furious after hearing this.

He didn't like Lu Huai in the first place, and everyone knew what Xiao Mo wanted to do by mysteriously pulling him to the backyard.

What else could it be if not a secret meeting?

He gritted his teeth, told the servants not to say anything, and then went to the west yard angrily.

Unfortunately, this news was also passed on to the head of the Lu family.

The parents of both sides rushed to the backyard. At this time, as long as someone helped to light a fire, all the guests could be lured over.

There is no doubt that this task was completed by Lin.

"Hey, have you heard? Miss Xiao and Young Master Lu are having a secret meeting in the backyard."

"On an occasion like today, do they want to make it known to the world?"

"I've met Miss Xiao at a palace banquet before. I thought she was quite reserved because of her aloof demeanor."

"I also saw her at the palace banquet, but wasn't it rumored at the time that she and His Royal Highness Prince Jin were in love?"

“You’ll find out if you go and see it.”

A group of people were talking excitedly, all wanting to see this great show.

Xiao Wenbo walked in front, looked at the room with the open door beside the corridor, his eyes darkened and he walked over.

When the people following behind saw him go in, they also quickened their pace to catch up.

Just when everyone thought they could feast their eyes, the scene before them made their faces turn pale with fright.

Not only was the scene in the room not what they had imagined, but the man who was rumored to have had a secret meeting with Xiao Mo was not Lu Huai at all.

Qi Yue, who arrived later, saw Qi Minxiu sitting in a wheelchair with a flushed face, and his eyes changed instantly.

He strode into the room and came to the bed to check Xiao Mo's physical condition.

I felt relieved when I found out she just fainted.

He picked her up sideways and walked to the door, his cold eyes sweeping through the crowd one by one, finally falling on Qi Minxiu.

Qi Minxiu exchanged glances with him, then looked up at Xiao Wenbo: "What is your plan, Prime Minister?"

Xiao Wenbo looked back at him with a puzzled and bewildered expression: "Your Majesty, your Majesty does not know..."

"Today is Amo's birthday, and you want to ruin her. If I hadn't accidentally consumed the drugged fruit wine, wouldn't you be excited now?"

He questioned with a hoarse voice.

Qi Yue gritted his teeth and said without emotion, "First, you drugged her, then pretended to find someone to lure the crowd over. You just want to ruin her reputation, right?"

He sneered and glanced at Qi Minxiu: "It's just that you are too careless in your work. A paralytic can't do anything even if he is drugged."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they had been used, and the discussion in the crowd who were watching the show quickly turned into cursing how vicious the murderer was.

"I will report this matter to my father and have him investigate thoroughly."
