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

Shen Yun turned sideways and was about to follow, but Xiao Mo reached out to stop her.

"No need to eavesdrop. Just wait here and go find that woman later."

Shen Yun tilted her head and looked at her suspiciously: "Don't you want to listen to their conversation? She must have been the one who poisoned you yesterday. Maybe she came to see this person this time to silence her."

"She did more than just this. If she wanted to silence her, she wouldn't have waited until today."

Xiao Mo stared coldly at the door of the room, and her tone was murderous.

Shen Yun didn't know that she had eavesdropped on the conversation between Lin and Xiao Xiang last night, so she didn't know why she was so angry.

She thought she was just angry because of what happened yesterday, and just as she was about to say something to comfort her, the door to the yard opened.

The middle-aged woman sent Xiao Xiang out with a flattering smile on her face. Judging from her actions, she seemed to want to put her in the carriage.

But before she could take two steps, she was stopped by the maid: "Have you forgotten what the young lady said? Go back and pack your things."

The woman nodded and bowed as she backed away. Before Xiao Xiang could get on the carriage, she retreated into the room and closed the door.

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun hid in the dark until Xiao Xiang's carriage drove away, then they covered their heads and sneaked into the yard from the left and right.

The woman's scream pierced the sky, and she shrank into a corner trembling with the bag she had already packed in her hands.

Before Xiao Mo could speak, the woman was so scared that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I don't know anything, I, I..."

Shen Yun glanced at Xiao Mo, took two steps forward and grabbed her collar: "I'll give you a chance to tell the truth, otherwise..."

She deliberately dragged out the last word, and a strong sense of oppression instantly filled the woman's whole body.

The woman shuddered, glanced away in panic, and wanted to escape at a loss.

Shen Yun pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the ground next to her without blinking, scaring her so much that she screamed again.

Just as she was hesitantly trying to explain everything, the wooden door was kicked open forcefully from the outside.

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun looked over when they heard the sound and found that two masked men also came in.

The four of them locked eyes and started fighting without a word.

The woman next to her saw the opportunity and cautiously crawled towards the door. Seeing this, Xiao Mo shook off her opponent and chased after her.

But the person behind her did a backflip and stood in front of her.

There was no choice but to start fighting in the yard again.

On the other side, when Shen Yun was fighting with the masked man, he always felt that the eyes opposite him were very familiar.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure out who it was, so I took the opportunity to tear off his veil.

The moment the veil slipped off, Yuan Mu hurriedly covered it with his arms, but Shen Yun still saw his face.

He raised his sword in one hand and was about to rush towards Shen Yun, but Shen Yun quickly pulled away her veil: "It's me!"

Seeing that the person opposite her was her, Yuan Mu, who had accumulated internal strength, was unable to withdraw his hand for a moment, so he had to turn around and hit the wall with all his strength.

He walked forward and looked at Shen Yun's body: "Are you okay?"

Shen Yun shook her head: "I'm fine." Then she looked at the two people who were still fighting fiercely outside the house.

"Stop it, we're one of you!"

Hearing her voice, Xiao Mo subconsciously turned her head and looked at her.

Unexpectedly, when she was distracted, Qi Yue on the opposite side hit her heart with his internal energy.

She came to her senses and couldn't bear the weight, so she knelt down on one knee, holding up her sword.

Qi Yue, who reacted suddenly, was stunned for a moment, then his face changed and he dropped the sword in his hand and walked forward to hug Xiao Mo in his arms.

"Why aren't you talking and fighting with me?!"

He scolded her with a trembling voice while helping her take off the veil from her face.

Xiao Mo frowned and looked at him, a trace of crimson flowing from the corner of her mouth, "Didn't you say anything too?"

Qi Yue gritted his teeth and didn't argue with her. He had used at least 80% of his strength just now, and she had just been poisoned. Although she had recovered, her body was definitely not as good as when she was healthy.

If anything happened to her, he would be so angry that he would die.

Seeing that he rarely got humiliated and didn't talk back, Xiao Mo couldn't help but curl her lips and smile.

Just when she was about to say something to mock him, he suddenly exerted force and picked her up sideways.

"Yuan Mu, go summon the imperial physician."

Xiao Mo frowned and looked at him speechlessly: "It's just a minor injury, I won't die."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Shen Yun: "Yun, take that person with you and go back to the mansion together. Disguise her so that no one can recognize her."

Shen Yun nodded, turned her head and looked at Yuan Mu with resentment: "You go."

Yuan Mu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Shen Yun chased after Xiao Mo.

On the way, the four people, each riding a horse, walked back slowly.

Qi Yue looked at Xiao Mo, who looked unhappy, and asked worriedly, "Why did you go to that place?"

Xiao Mo frowned and looked ahead: "I am going there for the same reason as you did."

Qi Yue glanced at the woman he had knocked unconscious and said, "The person who asked you to choose the wine was this woman's daughter."

Then he turned his attention back to Xiao Mo: "Her husband was a gambler. In order to pay off his debts, he sold his daughter to the Lin Mansion and she became a maid to serve Lin's mother.

Not long ago, Xiao Xiang used tricks to seduce her father into gambling again and owing a huge debt.

Lin acted as a good person and assigned her the task of framing you, and promised to pay off their debts and give them a generous reward after the task was completed, provided that they left the imperial city.

I should have given them the money yesterday, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to leave the house, so I put it off until today."

Qi Yue sighed: "These are what I have found so far."

"Where is this woman's husband?" Xiao Mo asked.

"I've already sent someone to look for him. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in the gambling house now."

Xiao Mo swayed her body and curled her lips slightly: "Where is the maid?"

"I've already returned to the Lin Mansion. Without sufficient evidence or reason, even as a prince, I wouldn't dare to rashly ask for him."

Qi Yue stared at Xiao Mo's body and saw that she was shaking violently. Just as he was about to ask about her physical condition, she leaned back and almost fell off the horse.

His pupils changed, and he flew to her horse and held her steadily.

"Yuan Mu, go directly to the palace to find the imperial physician." It was not difficult to hear from his tone that this time, he was really anxious.
