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

"Your Majesty, the front reports that General Xiao led his troops to the Kang tribe, beheaded their leader Shou Ji, and severely defeated the enemy. He will be back in court soon."

This news was like a brilliant firework, exploding in the hearts of several people.

The emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He looked at Qi Yue and said, "Did you hear that, Yue'er?"

Qi Yue was so shocked by the news that he didn't react for a long time: "Your son heard it..."

After realizing what was happening, he raised his eyes and walked towards the guard who reported the news: "When I came back, didn't General Xiao say that he would come back after wiping out the Kang people stationed within fifty miles of our border?

Why did they suddenly attack the Kang tribe again? "

Although the guard lowered his head, his tone showed his respect for Xiao Mo: "That was the general's original plan, but the Kang people were stubborn. As soon as the general returned to Quancheng, they chased him.

After repeated provocations, the general obtained the consent of his soldiers and stormed into the enemy's lair.

"Good! Hahahaha, you are indeed someone I value. Your courage and spirit truly touch my heart."

The emperor was very pleased and issued an edict to reward Xiao Mo before he even met her.

Qi Minxiu sat in the back, but he couldn't be happy about Xiao Mo's heroic act.

Qi Yue was also worried. After all, the Kang tribe was a tribal country with hundreds of thousands of people.

Although they ended up failing in every fight, with the remaining troops in Xiao Mo's hands, it would probably not be easy for them to get out safely after breaking in.

However, the guard who reported the news just now said that she had already come out and would be back in the court soon. Could it be that he was worrying too much?

Qi Minxiu and Qi Yue each analyzed the situation in their minds, and finally made the same decision tacitly, which was to wait for a few days to see if Xiao Mo really returned triumphantly.

At the morning court three days later, after all the court officials reported what they had in their hands, they began to discuss Xiao Mo's matter.

Some people believe that she is as capable as any man and is a pillar of the country. She has won two major wars for the Nan Yao Kingdom and should be granted a title.

There are also those who think that no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. There has never been a precedent of women serving as officials in previous dynasties, let alone being granted titles. So it would be enough to reward her with some material possessions to appease her.

The two groups of people started to fight in the court, and neither of them gave in.

The emperor raised his hand irritably to interrupt their quarrel. Just as he was about to scold them, a sharp announcement came from outside the hall.

The guard ran to the hall as fast as he could and knelt down. "Your Majesty, General Xiao was fighting with one of the candidates for the new leader of the Kang clan outside Quancheng. Both of them accidentally fell off a cliff and their lives are in danger."

As soon as this news came out, the arguments for Xiao Mo in the court came to an abrupt end.

The emperor opened his eyes wide, looking incredulous.

When Qi Minxiu and Qi Yue received the news, they didn't believe it at first, but after they came to their senses, one of them became terribly crazy, and the other became terribly calm.

Qi Yue angrily overturned the things on the table and swayed unsteadily: "Impossible, this is impossible..."

Yuan Mu had never seen him lose his composure like this before, and he stepped forward worriedly to support him.

"Your Highness, please accept my condolences. The news came from Vice Admiral Zhao at the front. He is General Xiao's right-hand man, so what he said is probably true."

Qi Yue held his forehead with one hand and was silent for a while, then suddenly pushed him away, walked aside and picked up his sword.

"I don't believe it. Her skills are not inferior to mine. She can easily defeat ten people alone. There is no way she can be killed so easily."

His voice was trembling as he walked outside.

Seeing him in such a state, Yuan Mu quickly followed him and stopped him: "Your Highness, as you think, if General Xiao is safe and sound, she will definitely come back as soon as possible.

Let's wait a few days and see what happens before making any plans."

Qi Yue looked at him coldly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he brushed him away: "I can't wait a moment."

He was determined to leave, and Yuan Mu had no choice but to follow him.

As soon as they left the palace, the eunuch in charge of Concubine Liang hurriedly called out to him, "Your Highness, please stay! Your Highness, please stay!"

Qi Yue and Yuan Mu turned around at the same time, and after seeing who was coming, their expressions changed at the same time.

Qi Yue frowned at him, and before he ran to him, he asked him in a cold voice: "What's the matter, eunuch?"

"Your Majesty, your old illness has relapsed. Your Highness, please hurry to the palace to check it out." The eunuch said breathlessly.

When Qi Yue heard the words "Empress" and "relapse of old illness", his expression suddenly changed, and the coldness in his eyes became even more intense.

"Go back and tell her to stop playing tricks like this. She stopped me once, and you want to stop me a second time?"

He spoke aggressively and without any emotion.

The eunuch knelt anxiously in front of him and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood the Empress. The Empress's old illness has truly relapsed, and she is now waiting for Your Highness in great distress."

Qi Yue's cold and hard eyes gradually softened, and he looked at his father-in-law with half-belief and half-doubt: "How could her old illness relapse so quickly? She gets upset whenever something happens to me."

"Your Highness, how can you say that? This illness has broken out so suddenly, and the Empress doesn't want this to happen. Your Highness, you should hurry up and come with me to the palace."

Qi Yue lowered his eyes slightly, threw the sword to Yuan Mu, mounted his horse and galloped towards the palace.

In the Yongyang Palace, Concubine Liang lay on her side on the concubine couch, staring at the door with bright eyes.

The maidservant was waiting beside her, a little worried: "My Lady, will His Highness come?"

"He will definitely come." Concubine Liang raised her eyebrows confidently.

Soon, Qi Yue ran in hurriedly.

After seeing that Concubine Liang was fine, his worried eyes instantly turned several degrees colder.

"Didn't your mother's old illness relapse? Why do I think you look fine?"

Concubine Liang smiled and looked up at him, then she stepped back and sat up. "The imperial physician came to diagnose me just now, and I got some medicine and I feel much better now."

Qi Yue sneered and walked up to her: "Why is mother trying so hard to stop me? Don't you think highly of A-Mo? Don't you want me to marry her?"

"I hope you marry the one she is. Now she is most likely gone. It's time for you to focus on other powerful women."

Concubine Liang put away her smile, stood up and looked at him.

Qi Yue was enraged by her words, and his veins bulged with anger: "If you hadn't designed to hurt yourself to trick me back, Amo wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

"Mother, where is your brain that once dominated the harem? How could you be so confused?"

After he finished roaring, he looked at Concubine Liang deeply, turned around with a resentful and terrifying look, and was about to leave. However, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the guards.

Concubine Liang chuckled and sat back on the couch gracefully. "Until there is no new news from the front, you must stay here obediently and not go anywhere."

Qi Yue turned around and looked at her in shock: "What are you doing, mother? Imprisoning me?"

"You won't listen to my kind words of advice, so I can only do this. The weather is nice today, so I'll go for a stroll in the Imperial Gardens. You should reflect on your mistakes."

After Concubine Liang left, Qi Yue tried to leave Yongyang Palace many times, but was stopped every time.

She sent people to surround Yongyang Palace so tightly that even a fly flying out would be stared at by the guards.

In desperation, he could only ask Yuan Mu to go find the emperor.
