Chapter 240 Peeping
In the room, Qi Minzheng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. When he heard the slight sound of the window opening, his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xiao Mo was so eager to save people that she didn't notice this at all.
Perhaps because she was too concerned, she only realized something was wrong after she had already entered the house.
Logically speaking, Qi Minxiu is a prince. If he really fell seriously ill, why wouldn't he have an imperial physician by his side?
Even if there is no imperial physician or doctor, someone should be left to take care of him. Looking at the entire palace, Ling Su is the one who should least leave.
If he wants to leave, then just leave. Why not arrange someone to serve him by his bed?
Xiao Mo stood beside the screen, thought for a while, turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped when she looked back at Qi Minxiu.
Although it was highly likely that he had lured her out, it was also possible that Ling Su had left to go find the imperial physician or a doctor.
She is a skilled doctor, and since she is here, if she doesn't check it out before leaving, she will probably find it difficult to let go of this matter.
She just wanted to have a rough idea in her mind, take his pulse to understand his condition and leave immediately. He shouldn't notice.
Xiao Mo found an excuse for herself and tiptoed to the bed. When she saw Qi Minxiu's pale face, she couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead.
Was it her imagination? It didn't seem hot at all.
She touched her forehead uncertainly to compare the temperature, and sure enough, it wasn't hot.
Feeling her nervous breath, Qi Minxiu's slight twitch of the corners of his mouth disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Mo frowned, and when she looked at his face again, his expression had returned to its previous state.
Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly and there was nothing unusual, she gently pinched his wrist which was outside the quilt.
Xiao Mo held her breath and carefully felt the pulse at her fingertips. Only when she felt that Qi Minxiu had no illness did she realize that she had been fooled.
Qi Minxiu raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, grabbed her wrist with his backhand, opened his clear eyes and stared at her straight.
"Please explain, General Xiao." He lifted the quilt and sat up, pulling Xiao Mo to stand up slowly.
Xiao Mo looked at him, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes: "What do you want to explain?"
"Explain why you sneaked into my Prince Chen's Mansion and even entered my room to check my pulse, and what happened in Suizhou City last time."
She pulled her hand back coldly and rubbed her wrist: "What's there to explain? I just wanted to see if you were dead."
Qi Minxiu sneered, sat back on the bed, and looked up at her.
"You're lying. You clearly care about me. I really want to know what it is that made you hide it from me even at the cost of hurting me."
Xiao Mo looked deeply into his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned her head away: "You think too much."
After saying that, she strode towards the window she had entered from before.
Behind him, Qi Minxiu coldly reminded him, "If you don't explain clearly, do you think you can get out?"
Xiao Mo stopped, clenched her fists, and wanted to turn around and say something harsh, but when she turned around, she bumped into a wall of flesh.
Qi Minxiu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Answer me, are you approaching Qi Yue so closely for some other purpose?"
He reached out and pinched her averted face, forcing her to look at him.
Xiao Mo only looked at him for a moment, then brushed his hand away and retreated two meters away.
"I have no purpose. I just feel that he loves me more than you do. I will be happier if I choose him than you."
"What do you think? Oh, then your feeling is correct?"
"So far, it seems to be correct."
Qi Minxiu was so angry at her answer that he laughed: "As of now? Can you guarantee that he will always be good to you? Especially after he ascends the throne."
It is human nature not to dare look the other person in the eye when lying, and Xiao Mo is no exception.
"Of course I can't guarantee it. Not only can I not guarantee it for him, I can't guarantee it for you either."
These words completely infuriated Qi Minxiu. He frowned and approached her with a sneer.
Xiao Mo took a step back and prepared to fight back.
Qi Minxiu showed no mercy and had no intention of backing down. This was the first time he and Xiao Mo had fought each other since they had known each other for so long.
One of them was attacking and the other was defending. One wanted to keep the person and the other wanted to escape. The fight in the room was so fierce.
Ling Su, who was outside the door, heard the noise inside the room and wanted to push the door open to see what was going on. He raised his hand, but after thinking about it, he put it down.
Because Qi Minxiu had instructed that no one was allowed to enter and disturb them.
His master's martial arts skills are not low, and he is not really sick, so he should not be at a disadvantage.
Besides, even if he was at a disadvantage, General Xiao would not really kill him!
Ling Su frowned and thought for a while, then finally turned around as if he hadn't heard anything.
Inside the house, Xiao Mo was pushed into a corner by Qi Min because she only defended and did not attack.
He pulled aside the veil between them, stepped in front of her, and stared deeply into her eyes.
"Amo, I'm not stupid. You changed your attitude towards me after Master was assassinated.
I don't believe you don't know that I'm not the real murderer. You approached Qi Yue probably because of this incident, right?"
Xiao Mo withdrew her gaze helplessly and slipped out from under his armpit when he was not paying attention.
He quickly grabbed her arm and hugged her tightly from behind: "I was right, wasn't I?"
Xiao Mo gritted her teeth, not knowing whether she should tell the whole story.
Seeing her hesitation, Qi Minxiu gently let her go: "Since you don't say anything, then I will take it as your consent. You don't have to go to the East Palace. I will go in your place."
After saying that, he let go of her, picked up the sword on the table, walked past her and tried to walk towards the door.
Xiao Mo quickly hugged him from behind: "Look, do I dare to tell you? If I tell you, you will go to die."
Qi Minxiu paused, raised his hand and grasped the slender arm at his waist: "In your heart, I can't beat Qi Yue, right?"
"He's the crown prince, his status is higher than yours, he's got more battlefield experience than you, and he has more military power than you. Tell me, what do you have to fight him?"
As she spoke, Xiao Mo unconsciously tightened the strength of her arms.
In fact, she hadn't finished speaking. In addition to Qi Yue's own abilities, the power of Concubine Liang's mother's family should not be underestimated.
But she didn't dare say anything more, for fear that if she continued, it would hurt Qi Minxiu's self-esteem.
But not mentioning it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. These are real problems that are right in front of us.
Qi Minxiu pursed his lips, and his hand holding the hilt of the sword looked a little pale due to excessive force.
After enduring for a moment, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a dull sound.
"Amo, let's leave here?" Qi Minxiu lowered his head and said this after holding it in for a long time.
Xiao Mo seemed a little disappointed with what he said and slowly loosened her arms around his waist.
"He and Concubine Liang killed my master. I will make them pay with blood."
