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

He originally wanted to take Xiao Mo back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but thinking that he had other things to do today, he took her back to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Unfortunately, today a concubine in the harem who had just become pregnant sprained her ankle and showed signs of miscarriage. Imperial Physician Liu was ordered to stay in the harem.

In desperation, Yuan Mu could only randomly name the imperial physician on duty at the Imperial Hospital and send him to Prince Jin's Mansion.

In the mansion, Qi Yue had just put Xiao Mo down on the bed when she woke up dizzy.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up and looked around: "Why did you bring me here again?"

Seeing her wake up, Qi Yue happily came over and asked: "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xiao Mo frowned and closed her eyes: "I'm fine, did you really hit me to death with that palm?"

She opened her eyes jokingly and looked at him with pretended anger.

Qi Yue lowered his eyes in self-blame, "I thought you were in cahoots with that woman."

Xiao Mo looked at him with gratitude and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so concerned about this."

Qi Yue raised his eyes, stood up, and pursed his lips. "I have asked Yuan Mu to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. He should be here soon."

"You go to ask the imperial physician for a trivial matter. Even if he doesn't find it annoying, I find it annoying. Go out. I want to practice my internal energy to heal my wounds." Xiao Mo curled her lips and sat cross-legged.

Qi Yue wanted to say something, but was stopped by her look.

When the imperial physician arrived, Qi Yue was wandering on the corridor at the entrance.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Jin." The imperial physician walked up to him and saluted him respectfully.

He tapped his chin lightly and glanced inside the room: "She is practicing her skills, Yuan Mu, take her to the front hall to rest first."

"Yes, Imperial Physician Cao, please come this way."

After completing a small cycle, an hour and a half had passed.

Xiao Mo exhaled, slowly opened her eyes, moved her shoulders, and when she felt better, she got out of bed and walked towards the door.

Qi Yue, who was standing outside the door, heard the sound of the door opening behind him and turned around reflexively. He turned around so fast that he bumped into Xiao Mo in the chest.

She rubbed her nose and glared at him unhappily: "Can't you bear to see me? You just recovered a little and you hit me again."

Qi Yue bent down and explained hurriedly: "I didn't mean it. Shen Yun, go to the front hall and call the imperial physician over."

Shen Yun glanced at Xiao Mo, and seeing that she didn't nod, she didn't move.

"What are you standing there for? Go quickly!" Qi Yue frowned and shouted sternly.

Xiao Mo glanced at him and yelled at him softly: "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm fine now, Yun, let's go."

Qi Yue followed her angrily and grabbed her: "The imperial physician is in the front hall. It won't take you long to ask him to take your pulse."

Xiao Mo turned sideways, her eyes glancing at his hand with a cold gleam, her gaze moving upwards inch by inch: "Let go."

Qi Yue looked at her deeply for a few seconds, then let go of her hand and suddenly smiled: "It must be very tiring for Imperial Physician Cao to come here. If you don't want him to take your pulse, just have fun in the palace today."

Xiao Mo frowned and looked at him, knowing that his tone was joking, but his words were serious.

People are speechless and can’t even laugh when they want to.

She gritted her teeth and said reluctantly, "Lead the way."

Seeing that she had given in, Qi Yue suppressed his smile, pretended to casually raise his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"General Xiao is no longer seriously injured. His internal organs, which were shaken by his internal energy, are now recovering and returning to their normal positions. I will prescribe some beneficial medicine for General Xiao to recuperate. He will be fully recovered in a few days."

In the front hall, Imperial Physician Cao carefully took Xiao Mo's pulse and wrote a prescription for Shen Yun.

Xiao Mo took the prescription, looked at it, and returned it to Shen Yun without saying anything.

She stood up with a calm expression and looked at Qi Yue: "Where is that woman?"

Just at this moment, two guards came in outside with a prisoner.

The leading guard reported to Qi Yue: "This is the father of the maid Xingzi."

Xiao Mo took a step forward and looked at the man in front of her with his head drooping like an eagle.

Qi Yue raised his hand and waved: "Take him to the East Courtyard, take a representative item from him and go to the Lin Mansion to find the maid Xingzi."

Yuan Mu lowered his eyes and agreed. Just as he turned around, Qi Yue added another sentence.

"Go to the west courtyard and take something from the woman, so she won't disbelieve you. After all, a gambler can lose anything he has at any time."

"Yes."

Xiao Mo looked at Qi Yue's profile, and her sharp eyes turned into a soft light.

This man seems...

"Amo!" Qi Minxiu's voice interrupted her thoughts: "I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. They said you were not there, so I knew you must be here."

Ling Su pushed him and walked into the yard while talking.

Xiao Mo smiled and walked down the steps to greet him: "What's the matter with you coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see me?"

"The Emperor said that if the murderer is caught, he will be punished according to the law."

"The murderer has been caught, but the person behind the scenes hasn't been apprehended yet. Since you're here, why don't you come and watch this good show together?"

Qi Yue walked to Xiao Mo, crossed his arms over his chest, and sneered.

Qi Minxiu looked down on him, his lips curled up slightly: "Ling Su found the person, so of course I have to go."

Xiao Mo looked at Ling Su in the wheelchair with a little surprise: "Thank you for your hard work, Guard Ling."

Ling Su nodded and replied politely: "Your Highness's affairs are my affairs."

Qi Yue looked at them calmly, not surprised at all.

He liked Xiao Mo, so after Xiao Mo was murdered, he was eager to help her find the murderer.

Qi Minxiu is the same as him, so it is impossible for him to stand idly by. It is normal for him to take action in secret.

They returned to the courtyard and chatted for a while, then two guards came in with a panicked woman.

The moment Xingzi saw Xiao Mo, she understood everything.

She put away her frightened eyes and knelt straight in front of her: "General Xiao, all of this was done by me. It has nothing to do with my family. Please let them go. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Xiao Mo stared at her, not understanding why someone she had never met before would want to harm her.

Qi Minxiu sat high up, frowning as he looked down at her. "This has nothing to do with your family, but it does with your master. Choose one: protect your family or your master?"

Qi Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, looking forward to her answer.

Xingzi lowered her eyes and bit her lip. After thinking for a moment, she slowly raised her head and said, "Your Highness, please spare my family."

Qi Minxiu and Qi Yue looked at each other and smiled.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Wenbo sat in the main seat in the hall and questioned Murong Shu and Ma in a rage.

"You guys organized this banquet, how could such a huge mistake happen?

Now that there is no news of the murderer, the emperor has issued an imperial decree giving him only three days to give an explanation.

Why would the dignified Seventh Prince, Prince Chen, be poisoned in the Prime Minister's Residence? What do you want me to do?!"

Murong Shu knelt on the ground and endured the scolding without saying a word.

Ma looked up with some dissatisfaction, "I was only responsible for the decoration of the banquet, and I knew nothing else. How can you blame me for this, Master?"

Xiao Wenbo put his hands on his hips, and after hearing her words, his anger subsided a little: "Get up."

Lin sat aside, drinking tea with a handkerchief in her hand, and occasionally said a few words to plead for Murong Shu.

But her words and actions implied that she was putting all the blame on Murong Shu.

It would have been fine if she didn't beg for mercy. The more she begged, the angrier Xiao Wenbo became with Murong Shu.
