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

Chapter 227 Next step plan

It was already late in the afternoon when Shen Yun came out of Prince Chen's house. Looking at the darkening sky, she paced around anxiously.

She even thought that if Xiao Mo didn't come out, she would climb over the wall to find her.

Just when she was eager to try, a dejected figure walked out of the bamboo forest not far away.

Shen Yun happily ran up to catch her: "Miss, you're finally out! Hey, have you been crying?"

As soon as she asked, she noticed that the corners of her eyes were red.

Xiao Mo waved her hands and sniffed silently: "No, there's sand in my eyes. Let's go back home."

Shen Yun glanced at the mansion behind her and wanted to say something to comfort her, but didn't know how to start.

After returning to Suqiyuan, Xiao Mo said that she wanted to be alone, and Shen Yun knew that she must be thinking of Qi Minxiu.

There was nothing she could do but give her time and space, because she had to figure this out on her own.

At dinner time, Xiao Mo finally opened the door and the first thing she said when she saw Shen Yun was to go to the Wu Mansion.

Shen Yun hurriedly stopped her as she was about to leave: "Miss, let's eat first!"

Xiao Mo walked straight towards the door without looking back. When she was about to leave the yard, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Yun.

"Okay, let's eat first."

In fact, she was not hungry. To be more precise, she had no stomach. But it didn't matter if she was hungry, but she couldn't let the people around her go hungry too.

Shen Yun had the exact opposite idea, thinking that she had figured it out, and quickly asked the maid to serve the dishes.

After quickly finishing her meal, she changed into a black cloak, asked Shen Yun to dress up as well, and then rode a fast horse to the Wu Mansion.

An hour later, they took Chun'er and left Wu's house, but did not return to the Prime Minister's House, but went to the military camp.

After the morning court session the next day, the emperor called Wu Yajun to the back hall alone and expressed his condolences to him.

After all, he had always been dedicated in the previous dynasty, and his daughter Wu Zhaoyi had also served him wholeheartedly in the harem for many years.

As usual, Wu Yajun didn't say anything extra, but after she kowtowed to express her gratitude, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The emperor saw that he had something to say, so he asked casually.

I don’t know what he said to the emperor, but the emperor believed it and summoned Xiao Mo into the palace that afternoon.

When she heard the emperor tell her to visit Yongyang Palace more often in the future, she pretended to be shocked.

Then the emperor briefly explained the reasons to her.

The general meaning is that Deputy Supervisor Wu observed the sky last night and found that an evil star had fallen into the imperial palace.

If it is not suppressed in time, it will affect the normal life in the palace.

The emperor is the reincarnation of a true dragon, so he is naturally not afraid, but the mistress of the harem and the crown prince who has not yet achieved enlightenment may face great disasters.

The best way is to find someone whose horoscope is compatible with these two people and have them move around in their palaces more often.

Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is the successor to the Emperor, and there must not be any mistakes. It would be even better if someone with a compatible horoscope could live in the Eastern Palace forever.

This was the purpose of Xiao Mo’s visit to the Wu Mansion last night.

In fact, what Wu Yajun told the emperor was to let Xiao Mo visit the Eastern Palace more often, and it was the emperor who felt it was inappropriate that allowed her to go to Yongyang Palace.

If he really sent Xiao Mo to the Eastern Palace, wouldn't his Min'er go crazy when he came back?

Xiao Mo was not surprised by this arrangement; rather, it was within her expectations.

But it doesn’t matter. Since we have already arrived at Yongyang Palace, it can’t be too far from the Eastern Palace.

After this incident, Qi Yue went to Concubine Liang every day.

Occasionally, he would "lure" Xiao Mo back to the East Palace to have a meal and stay overnight.

When Xiao Wenbo found out, he was so happy that he became overjoyed.

When Xiao Mo went to Yongyang Palace for the first time, the maid she brought with her was Chun'er.

She did this on purpose because she wanted to tell her that Wu Zhaoyi's maid was now with her.

Because if she doesn't express it directly now, she will become suspicious when she finds out in the future.

When Concubine Liang saw Xiao Mo for the first time, she smiled brightly.

But when he saw that the person walking in behind Xiao Mo was Chun'er, his smile suddenly faded and his face instantly became more than one degree colder.

"Mo'er, why did you bring her here?" Although Concubine Liang was unhappy, she still asked very subtly.

Xiao Mo pretended to know nothing, blinked her big wet eyes, and looked at Chun'er with a smile.

"Wasn't she poisoned and mute before? I felt sorry for her, so I cured her.

I originally thought she would listen to me and return to the Wu Mansion to serve or serve a new master in the palace.

I didn't expect that she would actually want to be with me. I thought this might be our destiny, so I agreed."

Xiao Mo ate while talking, laughing from time to time, and her carefree attitude gave people a feeling that she was not on guard at all.

Concubine Liang stared at her for a while, then sighed and chuckled, "You are just too kind. She must have done a lot of bad things while following Wu Zhaoyi."

"As a servant, she often has no control over many things. Perhaps she doesn't do many things voluntarily."

Xiao Mo's smile was very contagious, and Concubine Liang felt much more relieved after seeing it.

In her opinion, Chun'er might have wanted to avenge Wu Zhaoyi, so she joined Xiao Mo.

Perhaps Xiao Mo really did as she said, and took the girl in because she felt sorry for her.

But she would never allow a threatening person to hang around in front of her for a long time.

Concubine Liang gave Chun'er, who was standing behind Xiao Mo with her head lowered, a treacherous look.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a beautiful yet cold smile.

"Maybe, but Mo'er was wrong about one thing. It's not just maids who have no control over their own lives. Sometimes, people in high positions and positions are the same."

Xiao Mo nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip: "That's what the Queen taught."

The two of them changed the subject and chatted for a while when Qi Yue came hurriedly.

After afternoon tea, Qi Yue wanted to invite Xiao Mo to dinner, but Xiao Mo refused on the grounds that Murong Shu was not feeling well.

On the way back, she seriously reminded Chun'er: "Liang Guifei might take action against you, are you afraid?"

Chun'er nodded timidly, and after a while shook her head gently.

Xiao Mo smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, if you are afraid, I will arrange for you to serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There is another girl in Suxiyuan who is about your age. You two should have common topics if you work together."
