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

Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu, who were in a daze, reacted and went to check on Qi Minxiu and Xiao Mo respectively.

"Whoever dares to act rashly in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be found and handed over to Your Highness for punishment."

Xiao Wenbo knelt beside Qi Minxiu's wheelchair, his eyes flashing coldly as he swept across the faces of everyone present.

Qi Yue felt the person in his arms trembling, so he stopped talking to them, called Yuan Mu and left.

"Hurry up and go to the palace to find Imperial Physician Liu, Ling Su, and bring your Highness here."

In order to prevent people from gossiping about Xiao Mo, Qi Yue did not take her away, but brought her back to her own room in Suqiyuan.

Qi Minxiu was arranged to stay in the guest room of Suqiyuan.

Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu stood guard beside them respectively.

After the imperial physician arrived, he wanted to treat Qi Minxiu first because of his noble status. However, he said that he was not seriously ill and asked the imperial physician to see Xiao Mo first.

Because he just drank some strong liquor to make his face slightly red for the sake of effect, he was not actually poisoned.

Xiao Mo was actually drugged by a powerful aphrodisiac. She had such a good physique, but now she had lost her mind. If she didn't detoxify quickly, she might be in serious condition.

Qi Yue also realized that he was not poisoned, so he asked to save Xiao Mo first.

Imperial Physician Liu hesitated for a moment, but seeing that both of them were so insistent, he obeyed.

He took Xiao Mo's pulse and examined her, and his face turned pale.

"General Xiao has an overdose of drugs in his body. He needs to prick his acupuncture points and bleed to expel most of the poison. Then he needs to drink some medicine to calm his heart veins."

Qi Yue didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he interrupted him impatiently: "Just do it quickly."

His hands trembled as he nodded in agreement and hurriedly took out the healing items from the medicine box.

Here, an hour has passed since we finished.

Imperial Physician Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked about Qi Minxiu's condition before he had time to rest for a moment.

Qi Yue didn't say anything, but just sat down anxiously beside the bed to see Xiao Mo.

Yuan Mu smiled, turned sideways, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please follow me."

The imperial physician gave him a faint smile, picked up his medicine box and followed him.

He looked at Qi Yue, whose complexion had returned to normal, and a flash of doubt crossed his mind.

Seeing him coming, Xiao Wenbo quickly and politely gave up his seat: "Please, Imperial Physician Liu, please take a look at His Highness. He just drank a lot of water, and now he seems to be less serious."

Imperial Physician Liu put down his things, walked forward and knelt in front of Qi Minxiu.

He glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take his pulse, and when their eyes met, he found that Qi Minxiu's clear eyes did not look like he was poisoned at all.

Qi Minxiu's eyes moved slightly, and Liu, the imperial physician who often stayed in the deep palace, instantly understood what he meant.

He stretched out his hand with a worried expression, carefully taking the patient's pulse, frowning and sighing from time to time, which made Xiao Wenbo, who was standing beside him, look nervous.

He is the seventh prince. If something happens in his prime minister's residence, he will be demoted at best and beheaded at worst.

"Imperial Physician Liu, how is His Highness's health..." Xiao Wenbo asked cautiously.

Imperial Physician Liu squinted his eyes and felt it for a while, then withdrew his hand, shook his head and sighed.

"Your Highness's poison is indeed less than General Xiao's. Although there is no need to inject serum to treat the poison, it cannot be ignored. I will go and prepare the medicine right away."

After saying that, he turned around and took out several medicinal herbs from the medicine box and prepared several prescriptions according to Xiao Mo's physical condition.

"Take these two medicines and boil them in water. Drink the liquid to dissipate the fire. Take the rest and boil it. It will be ready to drink in half an hour."

Ling Su took the medicine and glanced at Qi Minxiu.

Qi Minxiu nodded and left the room with his things.

In a room in the east wing, Lu Huai had fainted because he had not been able to vent for a long time.

When Ling Su, who was usually calm in the face of emergencies, arrived, he was shocked to see his miserable appearance.

He was afraid of something happening, so he quickly stepped forward and fed the Imperial Physician Liu what he had asked him to do.

After drinking the antidote, Lu Huai took deep breaths, and in less than a quarter of an hour, his vision became clear.

He stood up with a splitting headache, and when he saw the person in front of him was Ling Su, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Guard Ling?"

Ling Su smiled stiffly and asked him, "How do you feel?"

Lu Huai frowned and rubbed his eyebrows: "It's much better, but my body is still hot and unbearable."

"Then I'll get you another bowl of the water you just drank." Ling Su pursed his lips, stood up and left the house.

Not long after, he brought another large bowl of antidote. Lu Huai took the bowl and drank it all in big gulps without thinking.

After a while, his physical discomfort was relieved again, and it was much better than at the beginning.

Seeing the redness on his face gradually fade away, Ling Su bent down to help him up: "How are you? Can you walk?"

He stood up and staggered a bit: "I feel dizzy, and it's a bit difficult to breathe after standing up straight."

Ling Su frowned and told him how Qi Minxiu rescued him, and he was very moved.

I originally wanted him to show up in front of everyone after he recovered, but if he went out in his current state, I'm afraid it would stir up suspicion again.

"Then you should rest for a while. The kitchen is brewing the medicine. I'll bring it to you when it's ready."

After Ling Su finished explaining, before he turned around, Lu Huai called him: "I want to go see Miss Xiao."

He supported himself on the table, staggering a little.

Ling Su looked at him with a sharp look in his eyes: "If you go out like this, it will arouse people's imagination."

"I'm fine now. If I disappear for too long, people will start to speculate, right?"

Lu Huai's words gave Ling Su a reminder. He turned his head and thought about it. Lu Huai asked him to take a few steps to see. When he found that it was not as bad as he thought, he agreed.

Just when the Lu family was looking for Lu Huai everywhere and everyone was talking about it, Lu Huai's timely appearance gave them a reassurance.

His explanation was that he had dropped something important, and since he couldn't find it in the Prime Minister's Residence, he went back to the Lu Residence to look for it.

Mr. Lu saw that his face looked a little abnormal, his mind raced, he thought of some possibilities, and then he continued what he was saying.

"did you find it?"

"Well, I found it."

Lu Yao was innocent and didn't notice anything was wrong. She smiled and walked over to Lu Huai and took his arm. "You left without telling me. You made my parents and I worried."

He smiled and rubbed her face: "What could happen to me, a living person?"

Lu Yao blinked her big, twinkling eyes and glanced at the people around her: "They said you and Sister Xiao..."

"It's all a misunderstanding." Mr. Lu interrupted her in time and winked at Mrs. Lu next to him. Mrs. Lu stepped forward and pulled the person aside.

Lu Huai looked at them in feigned confusion: "What happened? Where's Miss Xiao?"

His question made everyone feel uncomfortable. Master Lu coughed lightly and said, "General Xiao drank too much and is resting in the backyard."
