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

Xiao Mo frowned and thought for a moment, then threw off the quilt and got up: "I'll go see Qi Minxiu."

Qi Yue supported her worriedly, curled his lips and said nothing.

Qi Minxiu was sitting in a wheelchair and talking to Ling Su when there was a crisp knock on the door.

He looked up and saw that it was Xiao Mo, and a beautiful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Amo, you're here to see me?" He turned his wheelchair and pushed it towards Xiao Mo and Qi Yue.

Xiao Mo looked at his face and curled her lips. "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better. I realized something was wrong after just one sip, so the poisoning is relatively mild."

Qi Minxiu's gentle voice was a little hoarse, and he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, which made Xiao Mo less suspicious of him.

But she still wanted to test it. If that person was him, then his legs...

Xiao Mo subconsciously lowered her eyes to look at Qi Minxiu's legs, took her hands off Qi Yue, and as soon as she raised her feet, she fell weakly towards Qi Minxiu.

Qi Minxiu's pupils trembled and he quickly fell to the ground, acting as Xiao Mo's human cushion.

He groaned in pain, and Qi Yue, who had reacted, quickly walked forward and carried Xiao Mo aside.

"Why did you let go of my hand? Luckily there was a fool who helped you block it, otherwise you would be the one who got hurt."

At the same time, Ling Su also nervously stepped forward to help Qi Minxiu up: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Qi Minxiu shook his head and glanced at Xiao Mo with a worried look: "Amo, are you okay?"

Xiao Mo felt a little guilty and strode forward to check his body: "I'm fine, Qi Yue scolded you really well, you are just a fool."

Qi Minxiu pulled the corners of his mouth, and the moment he looked up at Qi Yue, the smile in his eyes suddenly disappeared: "As long as you are okay, I don't care what happens."

Qi Yue rolled his eyes at him and helped Xiao Mo sit on the stool next to them.

Xiao Mo carefully observed Qi Minxiu's profile, trying hard to match his face with the face of the strong man in her mind who carried Lu Huai away.

Qi Minxiu's cheeks burned when she looked at him, so he could only turn his head away: "Amo, why are you looking at me like that?"

The two people who were about to overlap were disturbed by his words. Xiao Mo smiled and looked away.

"Nothing. I remember when I was half conscious I saw that the person lying next to me was Lu Huai. How did it become you?"

Qi Minxiu tilted his head, somewhat helplessly: "You also said that your consciousness was hazy, so Lu Huai appearing beside you might not be a dream."

Xiao Mo looked at him with a faint expression, and suddenly reached out and pinched his wrist.

A flash of panic flashed across Qi Minxiu's eyes, but then he returned to normal. He looked at her with a faint smile and asked, "What happened?"

"I can tell you're not under the influence of aphrodisiac."

Qi Yue had been sitting nearby watching the show. Upon hearing this, he stood up with a frown on his face: "What?"

Xiao Mo turned her head and stared at him speechlessly. He instantly fell silent and sat back on the stool.

Qi Minxiu didn't show any embarrassment at all, and faced Xiao Mo frankly: "Yes, I am pretending."

He knew that she was quick-witted and it would be difficult to hide this matter from her. After thinking about it carefully, there was actually no need to hide it from her, so he admitted it generously.

Xiao Mo narrowed her eyes, stared at his sharp face and asked, "So, the person I saw carrying Lu Huai away was you?"

Speaking of this, Qi Minxiu's expression suddenly changed: "Carry Lu Huai away? Who? Me? Do you think I can do it?"

With the result of the previous test, Xiao Mo felt that it was unlikely, so she shifted her gaze to Qi Yue's face.

Qi Yue was watching the show and saw himself, and he was even more confused: "Why are you looking at me? I don't know any of this."

Just when the few of them were at a stalemate, Ling Su came over and said, "General Xiao, it was my subordinate who carried Lu Huai away."

"You?" Xiao Mo looked at him in surprise, her incredible gaze moving from the top of his head to his feet.

Ling Su half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head slightly, and recounted what had happened in detail.

"At first, you went to select wine and didn't come back for a long time. The two princes were afraid that something might happen to you, so they asked the four of us to go look for you separately.

I was lucky enough to find the room where you had the accident. In a hurry, I carried Mr. Lu to another courtyard.

Later, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen found you, and it happened that the guests outside were spreading rumors about you having a secret meeting with a man.

His Highness wanted to find the murderer, so he pretended that you and he were the ones who were drugged."

After saying this, Ling Su glanced at Qi Minxiu casually.

Xiao Mo was touched by everything he did for her, and she felt guilty when she thought of her previous suspicion of him.

Qi Yue listened carefully, but always felt something was wrong, but what Ling Su said was logical and coherent.

Helpless, he could only ask him coldly: "Since you found the person, why didn't you inform me as soon as possible?"

"The people in the front yard were instigated and came here aggressively. The situation is urgent, so they don't have time to look for you." Qi Minxiu glanced at him and answered for Ling Su.

Qi Yue was unhappy with his attitude and angry that he was an outsider in this matter. The look in his eyes towards Qi Minxiu was so cold that it could freeze someone to death.

Xiao Mo didn't want to listen to their bickering, so she stopped Ling Su and asked, "Do you mean it was Lu Huai or the one who was poisoned?"

Ling Su nodded, and she asked again: "How is he now? Has anyone been found to detoxify him?"

Hearing her caring tone, Qi Yue and Qi Minxiu looked at her at the same time.

"Why do you care about him so much and fall in love with him?" Qi Yue glanced at him jokingly.

Xiao Mo rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to pay attention to him, and turned to look at Qi Minxiu.

Qi Minxiu pulled the corners of his mouth lightly, his face serious: "I asked Ling Su to give the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician to Lu Huai. He has gone to the front yard and is fine."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Recovering her thoughts, she bit her lip and thought about today's Chinese medicine.

The only person who wanted her to be with Lu Huai was Murong Shu, but she didn't believe that Murong Shu would do such a thing just to get her to marry into the Lu family.

Apart from her, the list of suspects in the mansion is a little unclear.

It's impossible for Xiao Wenbo, he is too proud to do such a thing, and the same goes for Murong Shu.

If Ling Su had not discovered this incident in time, she would have been finished. Even if her body had not lost its innocence, her reputation would have been tarnished.

To be able to do this so perfectly in the Prime Minister's Residence, the mastermind behind this must be someone in the residence.

Although many people have access to fruit wine, only a limited number of people have the right to manage the east and west backyards.

Apart from the eldest lady Murong Shu, the others were Lin and another concubine who had children.
