I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Su Luo listened with great interest, occasionally interrupting to ask for details. When she heard that General Xiao couldn't even eat a hot meal in order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, her brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Cang Zhou quickly changed the subject: "Princess, have you prepared the reward? I've been through life and death, serving you wholeheartedly. You must not treat me unfairly!"

Su Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're indispensable! Once this is resolved, this princess will reward you handsomely!"

"Okay! I feel relieved with your words!" Cang Zhou immediately smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.

Su Luo put down the scroll in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "I should also give an explanation to Madam Xiao."

Cang Zhou slapped his forehead and said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about this! Princess, you are so thoughtful!"

Su Luo stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and said slowly: "Find an opportunity to let the couple meet. Remember, it must be done in secret and no one can find out."

"Understood! I'll take care of it!" Cang Zhou promised, patting his chest. "But Princess, we need to think carefully about the meeting place. There are so many people in the palace, and if the news leaks out, all our efforts will be wasted."

Su Luo nodded in agreement. She turned and looked at Cang Zhou, a sly glint in her eyes. "Go discuss this with Li Fuquan. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

Cang Zhou's eyes lit up: "Great! Manager Li is a smart guy. It will be a good idea to leave this matter to him!" After saying that, he ran out.

Su Luo looked at Cang Zhou's hurried back and couldn't help laughing. She walked to the table and picked up the book again, but she couldn't concentrate on it.

Xiao Heng's little face appeared in her mind. She went out of the palace to see Xiao Heng once these days. She could only comfort him and could not tell him anything else.

As night falls, a crescent moon quietly climbs up the branches, casting its cool light on the earth.

Deep in the palace, Princess Wanning Su Luo, dressed in plain casual clothes, accompanied by Cang Zhou and Xing Hen, walked quietly along the winding path towards the courtyard where General Xiao was temporarily staying.

The night wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed, making a rustling sound, as if covering their actions.

Su Luo's heart was filled with both anticipation and anxiety. She didn't know what the outcome of this meeting with General Xiao would be.

The three of them came out of the yard. Cang Zhou took a few steps forward and gently knocked on the gate.

"Who?" A vigilant voice came from the yard.

"General Xiao, it's me, Cang Zhou! Her Royal Highness the Princess is here!" Cang Zhou said in a low voice.

A moment later, the gate creaked open, and Xiao Minghan appeared in the doorway. He was dressed in a long, cyan robe, his figure erect, his brows radiating a resolute air. Although he had removed his military uniform, his inherent valor was still hard to conceal.

Seeing Su Luo, Xiao Minghan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply: "Your humble servant Xiao Minghan pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Su Luo quickly stepped forward, held Xiao Minghan's arms with both hands, and helped him up: "General Xiao, please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite."

Xiao Minghan stood up and felt the warmth from Su Luo's hand. His heart moved slightly, and he quickly said, "Princess, please honor me! I am no longer a general. Please just call me by my name, Xiao Minghan."

Su Luo smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, then I won't be polite with you. Xiao...Minghan, are you feeling well?"

A trace of gratitude flashed in Xiao Minghan's eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am much better now. This life was given by you, Princess."

Su Luo looked at Xiao Minghan, his eyes gleaming with sincerity. "There's no need to be so polite between you and me. By the way, Xiao...Minghan, what are your plans for the future?"

Xiao Minghan was slightly startled. He had never expected that Su Luo had no motive in saving him. He had originally thought that Su Luo must have had other motives in saving him, but he had never expected her to be so honest.

For a moment, Xiao Minghan was overwhelmed with emotions. He was a man of integrity, and he should repay even the smallest favor with a thousand times the gratitude. This was even more so when someone saved his life!

He pondered for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Su Luo with a firm gaze: "Your Highness, if it weren't for you, I would have lost my life at the border long ago. Xiao Minghan is not an ungrateful person. From now on, this life belongs to you! I hope you can give me a chance to repay you for saving my life!"

Su Luo looked at Xiao Minghan's sincere eyes and thought to himself: Now is not the time to make my purpose clear, so I should stabilize him first and make plans later.

She smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Minghan, I understand your intentions. However, there's no need to rush into repaying your kindness. I came here today because I have something more important to tell you."

Xiao Minghan was stunned: "More important things?"

Su Luo nodded: "That's right. Your wife...she is very worried about you. I know that there are many spies in the general's mansion now, and you can't go back to meet her. So..."

She paused and continued, "I plan to have Xinghen take her to Baixiang Pavilion. Is it okay for you to meet her there?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghan was immediately excited, with a flash of surprise and gratitude in his eyes: "Princess, you are so thoughtful. Xiao Minghan is very grateful!"

Su Luo smiled faintly: "Alright, let's get going now without further ado. Cang Zhou, you and Xiao Minghan come with me to Baixiang Pavilion. Xinghen, go to the General's Mansion and bring Madam Xiao over."

"Yes!" Cang Zhou and Xing Hen responded in unison.

Xinghen turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Su Luo, Xiao Minghan and Cang Zhou walked along another path towards Baixiang Pavilion.

Su Luo and Xiao Minghan sat down in the lobby of Baixiang Pavilion, while Cang Zhou stood aside, vigilantly observing the movements around them.

In the lobby, a few red candles flickered, illuminating the entire space in a hazy glow. The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Xiao Minghan sat in the chair, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know what to say to his wife when he saw her later.

Time passed little by little, and after an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside.

Cang Zhou hurried to the door and looked out.

Xinghen walked in quickly with a woman in plain clothes.

That woman was none other than Madam Xiao.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao entered the room, she saw Xiao Minghan sitting in the lobby.

She was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Husband..." she called softly, her voice trembling and a little choked.

Xiao Minghan quickly stood up, walked quickly to Madam Xiao, and hugged her in his arms.

"Madam, it's me... I'm back..." Xiao Minghan's voice was a little choked.
