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

Chapter 135 The Secret is Discovered

Lixiangyuan.

Xiao Xiang was learning how to draw a new eyebrow shape when her maid ran in noisily. She was so frightened that her hand started shaking and she drew the end of her eyebrow crookedly.

She put her things down angrily, frowned, turned around and shouted: "You bastard, what are you doing?!"

The maid was terrified and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy: "Please forgive me, young lady."

After seeing that the other person was her personal maid, Xiao Xiang's originally furious expression instantly disappeared by half.

"Get up, don't do this again next time."

The maid nodded, stood up and walked to her.

Xiao Xiang looked at her doubtfully: "What did you want to say just now?"

"Just now, when I came back, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside the mansion gate."

Before the maid could finish her words, Xiao Xiang stood up excitedly and wanted to go out to find Qi Yue.

She had just taken two steps when the maid called her: "Miss! His Highness has left."

Xiao Xiang paused, her smile froze slightly, and she turned around to look coldly at the maid.

The maid walked up carefully and helped her sit down on the soft chair.

"That's not what I wanted to say."

After Xiao Xiang sat down, he glared at her as if to say something.

She came forward and whispered, "I heard two words from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Guard Yuan.

Guard Yuan asked His Highness if he needed someone to protect her. His Highness said she was unable to protect herself and asked Guard Yuan to send more people.

Xiao Xiang was confused: "Who is she referring to? Did they just say these two sentences?"

"When I came back, they were already there. I only heard this.

This "she," in my opinion, should refer to the eldest lady."

The maid's mind suddenly turned and she expressed her thoughts.

Xiao Xiang lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and shook her head.

"That's not right. Xiao Mo is extremely powerful, how could she not be able to protect herself?"

"But His Highness has no one else to worry about except the eldest lady."

The maid's words made Xiao Xiang's eyes turn cold.

She turned to look at the maid gloomily, and just one look scared the maid so much that she quickly lowered her head.

"Your words are not entirely unreasonable, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fought with Xiao Mo before, so how could he say such a thing?"

Xiao Xiang tried hard to guess what the hidden story was.

The maid's light voice came over, and instantly made her think of a possibility.

"The young lady fell from such a height and had to recuperate for nine months before she could return home. She might have suffered some serious internal injuries!"

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she slowly raised a smug smile, but soon she felt something was wrong.

"But internal injuries can be healed. Combined with the past few months since I came back and the nine months I was out, all the injuries should be healed."

The maid shook her head, disagreeing with her.

"Miss, you don't understand. If a martial artist injures his meridians, he won't be able to use his internal energy. If he can't use his internal energy, he'll be no different from an ordinary person."

After hearing this explanation, Xiao Xiang's eyes lit up and she stood up excitedly: "Really?"

"Although this servant only knows a little bit of Kung Fu, this is something that everyone who practices martial arts knows."

Xiao Xiang couldn't hear what she said next, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

After calming down, she thought carefully about the maid's words again. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was just as she had analyzed.

During the period when she just came back, Xiao Mo lost a lot of weight and looked very ugly.

She looked so sick that she seemed like the wind could blow her down.

Although I have gained some weight after this long journey, my complexion is also much rosier.

But compared to her previous self, she is still inferior.

No wonder she backed down when the emperor asked her to perform sword dance to liven up the autumn banquet he held for her.

Although it was the prince who helped her block all of this, according to her personality, if she was in good health, she would have picked up the sword and went into battle long ago.

However, it is not difficult to verify whether she is really as her maid said.

Xiao Xiang looked through the window towards Suqiyuan, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

In the next few days, no matter where Xiao Mo went, as long as she went to a remote place, a few masked men in black would jump out.

Every time, Shen Yun stood in front of her and helped her deal with these people.

What surprised them was that although these people's moves were deadly, they always just hit them hard and then ran away.

After listening to the report from the men in black, Xiao Xiang confirmed the maid's guess again.

That day, Qi Yue had some free time and went to the Prime Minister's residence to visit Xiao Mo.

Xiao Xiang seized the opportunity and actually eavesdropped in order to hear the strong evidence with her own ears.

Because they were not in the house, they spoke without restraint. As long as they did not deliberately lower their voices, they could be heard clearly within ten meters.

But Xiao Xiang waited and waited for a long time, but they just didn't talk about Xiao Mo's physical condition.

The occasional "flirting" made her jealous.

Just when she was about to give up, Qi Yue's sudden words made her decide to continue listening.

"After coming back from Qinshan this time, I think you seem like a different person."

"Me? How did I change?"

“It’s getting better looking.”

Xiao Mo couldn't count how many times she rolled her eyes today: "If you keep doing this, we won't have anything to talk about."

Qi Yue smiled happily and reached out to pinch her face.

"I mean, you're more plump than before, and your rosy complexion is even more beautiful than rouge."

Xiao Mo knew what he meant, but he insisted on expressing it in such words.

Seeing that she was a little shy, Qi Yue became even more excited: "It would be better if she had a little more flesh, so that it would be more comfortable to hug."

Xiao Mo stood up with a dark face and pointed in the direction of the door: "Get out."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Qi Yue waved his hands quickly and stopped teasing her.

He put away his playful smile and looked at her seriously: "Amo, your master must be a very powerful person, right?"

Xiao Mo glanced at him with her eyes lowered, then raised her head proudly: "Of course."

"So when you go back this time, can he heal your injuries?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo thought of the assassination incident outside a few days ago.

The group's decision to stop seemed to be a test of her.

Her dazed look made Qi Yue think that his previous words had made her sad.

He quickly took Xiao Mo's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you haven't recovered yet.

You should have been a rich lady, but you have been a martial artist for a few years.

For the rest of your life, just be content to be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will send someone to protect you."

His words were indeed touching before Xiao Mo recovered.

But now it sounds a bit off, maybe it's because she doesn't like him.

Xiao Mo smiled softly, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why should I be a young lady? With my medical skills, I can definitely open a clinic in the imperial city."

Qi Yue pursed his lips and nodded in agreement: "I'll do chores for you when the time comes."

"Just you?" The two smiled at each other.

After the joke, Xiao Mo was about to tell him that her body had recovered, her meridians had been reconnected, and she could practice martial arts again.

Before he could finish his words, Qi Minxiu walked into the yard without him noticing.

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Xiao Xiang retreated cautiously.

As soon as he left Suqiyuan, he hurried back to his own yard.
