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

Chapter 201 Headache

The emperor combined her words with He Yi's and pondered for a moment. His dark eyes slowly lowered, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Mo continued to explain: "If you want to say that my master has treasonous intentions, it is even more nonsense.

If he really has that idea and ability, why didn't he do it when he was younger? Why did he have to wait until he was old and unable to move before doing such a thing and committing suicide?

From childhood to adulthood, my teacher has taught me to be loyal to my country. How could someone who cares so much about the country do something that threatens it?

I think the truth of the matter can only be determined after meeting the person in person."

Chen Ye glanced at her with a half-smile, then turned to look at the emperor with a serious expression.

"General Xiao is very thoughtful and considerate. I am ashamed that I didn't think of this.

Your Majesty, I also think General Xiao's plan is good, but if you want to send someone to fetch General Nie, I'm afraid you'll have to send someone General Nie is familiar with."

His uncharacteristic words left Xiao Mo puzzled.

Xiao Mo frowned and looked at him, trying to read his mindset when he said these words from his face.

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out anything after looking for a long time.

The emperor nodded slightly, but at the same time he was troubled: "But who is the best person to send?"

Just as Xiao Mo was about to recommend herself, Qi Minxiu walked in panting heavily: "Father! Let me go!"

His voice had arrived but he hadn't shown up yet. Xiao Mo turned around and looked at him, and her heart instantly calmed down a lot.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, thought about his relationship with Nie Changyuan in his mind, and agreed immediately.

Chen Ye rarely said anything to stop him, and even said that there was no one more suitable than Qi Minxiu.

This made Xiao Mo very confused, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After all, if Qi Minxiu went, Nie Changyuan would be much safer, and their people would lose the opportunity to take action.

Do they want to wait until Nie Changyuan returns to the imperial city before taking action?

Xiao Mo was lost in thought when she was suddenly awakened by a solemn voice: "General Xiao, what do you think?"

She put away her thoughts and quickly agreed: "Your Highness Prince Chen clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. I also think he is an excellent candidate."

Chen Ye chuckled softly and offered another suggestion: "This time, I recommend the Imperial Guards General to assist His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

Qi Minxiu glanced at him sideways and turned his head coldly.

"I do not need anyone's assistance. I will immediately lead the troops to bring General Nie back. I hope your Majesty will approve it."

The emperor thought about Chen Ye's words, then flicked his sleeves and sat back on the dragon throne: "Alright, let's go to the barracks and inspect the troops."

"Thank you, father." Qi Minxiu bowed in thanks and turned to walk to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo kowtowed to the emperor happily, stood up and took her leave, then left the hall with Qi Minxiu.

She originally wanted to accompany him to the military camp, but when passing by a palace, she was stopped by a palace maid who had chased after her.

"General Xiao, please stay!"

When Xiao Mo heard the voice, she turned around and saw a palace maid running behind her and bowing to her.

"General Xiao, please accompany me to Yongyang Palace!"

Hearing the word Yongyang Palace, Qi Minxiu turned around to look at the palace maid, then looked at Xiao Mo.

At the same time, Xiao Mo also looked at him.

The two looked at each other, and Qi Minxiu came over to protect her: "What happened in Yongyang Palace?"

"The Imperial Concubine's old illness has relapsed in the past few days, and the palace doctors are helpless.

The queen said that General Xiao cured her last illness and it had not recurred for a long time.

I wanted to ask the general to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite him, but the general was under house arrest by the emperor and was only released today.

General Xiao, please hurry with me to Yongyang Palace. The Empress is waiting for you!"

The palace maid's eyes were filled with anxiety, and she almost reached out to pull Xiao Mo away.

Xiao Mo bit her lip, a little hesitant.

Qi Minxiu saw what she was thinking and patted her shoulder: "Go and have a look, otherwise you might have to come back again when you get home."

Yes, maybe when she gets home, the person who comes to invite her is someone close to the emperor.

The maid was getting anxious and wanted to speak to urge them to come. Xiao Mo noticed her mood and raised her hand, saying, "Lead the way."

The maid responded excitedly and quickly ran ahead of her: "General, please follow me."

In Yongyang Palace, Concubine Liang lay on her side on the beauty couch, one hand supporting her forehead, moaning intermittently.

Qi Yue was sitting beside her and wanted to go up and help her rub her temples, but she refused.

In addition to worry and heartache, he could only glance at the door from time to time.

When Xiao Mo entered the hall, Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face seemed to say, why is it you?

The maid trotted over to Concubine Liang and bowed respectfully to her, "Your Majesty, General Xiao is here."

Concubine Liang frowned, slowly opened her eyes, and waved to Xiao Mo with a slight smile.

"Mo'er is here, please give her a seat."

Xiao Mo frowned uncomfortably at this intimate name.

No one except her master, Murong Shu and Xiao Wenbo has ever called her that.

But no matter what, Concubine Liang is also an elder with noble status. Even if she felt uncomfortable after hearing it, she couldn't show it.

"I wonder what's wrong with the imperial concubine?" Xiao Mo half-squatted and asked respectfully and politely.

Concubine Liang sat up and rubbed her brows with an expression of great discomfort: "My headache is coming back, and it hurts a lot."

Xiao Mo looked at her with a little wariness, and when she saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, she walked up to her.

Qi Yue followed her forward and asked softly, "What do you need? I'll have someone prepare it. Do you need silver needles?"

Xiao Mo took Concubine Liang's pulse and nodded: "Yes."

She looked up at him, then looked away with a complicated expression.

Because of a headache, Concubine Liang successfully kept Xiao Mo in Yongyang Palace for three full hours.

She had lunch and afternoon tea at her place.

Just when she was trying to find a way to get out, Concubine Liang suddenly seemed to see through her thoughts and said before she could speak that she was much better.

Xiao Mo agreed to her words and left.

When she left Yongyang Palace, she could see that the sky was gradually getting dark.

After three hours, Qi Minxiu must have left the city and walked far away.

Xiao Mo looked up and sighed. If he went this time, nothing should go wrong.

She hung her head in melancholy, when suddenly a familiar and gentle male voice sounded beside her.

"I just heard about your master, Amo, don't think too much. Min Xiu will definitely bring him back safely."

Qi Yue wanted to reach out to comfort Xiao Mo, but he paused when he raised his hand.

After a moment of silence, he put his hand on her shoulder and patted her.

When his hand touched her, her body paused noticeably.

"Lend your auspicious words."

"The Emperor is a man who values talent. As long as he hasn't done what's rumored, then nothing will happen."

Xiao Mo originally wanted to leave, but stopped after hearing Qi Yue say this.
