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

Chapter 273 Happy Pulse

Xiao Mo's hands hanging at her sides gradually tightened, and after a moment, they slowly loosened.

There is no right or wrong in love. What is wrong is the greedy human heart.

If she hadn't fallen in love with Qi Minxiu, she didn't know whether she would fall in love with him.

Behind her, after Qi Minxiu calmed down the chaos of the battle, he walked towards her as lightly as possible, holding the sword that was still dripping with blood.

Hearing the sound of armor rubbing against each other, Xiao Mo suppressed her emotions, turned around and smiled: "Is it over? It's over for me too."

Qi Minxiu stood a few meters away from her and glanced at Qi Yue who closed his eyes again behind her. His eyes flickered slightly, and the emotion in his eyes was intriguing.

This is what it’s like to be born in an imperial family. Even though they are brothers, they have to go to war against each other.

If Xiao Mo hadn't helped him kill him, he might have done it himself.

But in the face of power, what does family affection count for? Didn't he still want to kill him in Jinkaesong?

And now, even if he doesn't kill him, he will kill him someday.

Xiao Mo also understood this, so she felt helpless and disappointed.

If she married Qi Minxiu, whether she became a queen or a concubine, the child she gave birth to would be a prince.

The means used by the princes to compete for favor and throne were truly too cruel. She had witnessed this many times.

She looked up at Qi Minxiu with cloudy eyes, as if she was seeing something else through him.

Qi Minxiu looked at her, frowned slightly, walked forward, and wanted to hug her and comfort her.

As a result, as soon as his fingertips touched her soft armor, she fell straight backwards.

He hurriedly hugged her around the waist and called her anxiously: "Amo, Amo, what's wrong with you?"

The person in his arms seemed to have no bones, and his whole body was limp.

Qi Minxiu's voice caught the attention of Murong Ze who was organizing the new recruits not far away.

He called Shen Hanzhou, who was still cleaning up the battlefield, to take his place, and he ran towards the source of the sound on the other side.

"Amo, Amo!" Qi Minxiu gently shook Xiao Mo twice, then reached out and patted her face.

He didn't know it before he took the picture, but once he did, he realized that her body temperature seemed a little off.

Because they were all wearing armor, they could hardly feel each other's body temperature without touching their skin.

When Murong Ze rushed over, he just saw Qi Minxiu picking up Xiao Mo and carrying her horizontally, and hurriedly heading towards the back hall.

As he passed by him, he frowned and called out to Qi Minxiu: "Your Highness, what happened to General Xiao? Is he injured?"

"No, she seems to have a fever."

Just at this moment, Yang Zerui, who wanted to find Qi Minxiu to report the battle situation and cleanup work, rushed over and heard these words.

Only then did he remember how Xiao Mo returned to the East Army Camp after being held hostage by Qi Yue while rescuing Xu Renchuan.

Seeing no surprise on his face, Qi Minxiu's worry turned to confusion: "Does Lieutenant General Yang know something?"

Yang Zerui came back to his senses, knelt on one knee with his fists clasped, and confessed what happened to Xiao Mo swimming out of the palace from the underground river in the palace late at night.

After hearing those words, Qi Minxiu's silent eyes suddenly sparkled.

"Since she was unwell, why didn't you stop her and let her rest in the barracks?"

Speaking of this, Yang Zerui lowered his eyes inexplicably feeling guilty.

At that time, his mind was only on the war, and when he saw Xiao Mo's energetic appearance, he didn't think much about it.

Just when he was silent and didn't know how to explain, Murong Ze, who was standing beside him, spoke.

"Your Highness, please don't blame me. You know General Xiao's temper. Not to mention Lieutenant General Yang, even you can hardly persuade her."

Qi Minxiu glanced at them coldly, said nothing more, and strode away with Xiao Mo in his arms.

In the Lizheng Palace, in front of the bed in the inner room, the imperial doctors gathered together and examined Xiao Mo for a long time. They found that in addition to the cold, there was another abnormality in Xiao Mo's pulse.

Several directors of the imperial hospitals, led by Imperial Physician Cao, took the pulse for the second time with uncertainty and finally found that it was a pregnancy pulse.

But they dared not say that now that Qi Yue had fallen and the power of Concubine Liang's lineage had been completely eliminated, the future of the world would definitely belong to Qi Minxiu.

If he knew that Xiao Mo was pregnant with Qi Yue's child and took his anger out on them, wouldn't they be courting death?

Seeing the imperial doctors looking at each other in bewilderment, all with unhappy expressions and no intention of reporting back, Qi Minxiu immediately became angry.

He slammed the table and stood up, glaring at the imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Seeing that they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, Imperial Physician Cao dared not report the truth, so he could only bite the bullet and kowtow to him three times before telling him the truth about Xiao Moxi's pulse.

The two words "happy pulse" struck Qi Minxiu's heart like a bolt from the blue, causing him to freeze for a moment.

"What did you say?!" He looked at the person kneeling on the ground in disbelief, and his questioning tone was full of coldness.

Imperial Physician Cao was actually very afraid that he would get angry and kill him, but since the words had already been spoken, he explained the pulse condition he had diagnosed again.

This time, Qi Minxiu did not speak again. Instead, he was silent for a moment and asked Imperial Physician Cao to treat Xiao Mo well.

Imperial Physician Cao and everyone present were shocked by his remarks. They probably didn't expect that he would end the topic so easily.

When Shen Yun and Murong Ze finished dealing with all the matters and rushed over, they heard the news from the palace maid before entering Lizheng Hall.

Then, Qi Minxiu walked out with a gloomy face.

As a female member of the family, Shen Yun naturally could not ask him this question directly, but as one of the heroes of this battle, Murong Ze asked it naturally.

"Your Highness, Mo...how is General Xiao?"

He originally wanted to call her "Moer", but after thinking about it, he changed his mind before speaking.

Qi Minxiu pursed his lips slightly and looked at him with an ambiguous expression: "She just caught a cold, it's no big deal. Go back and visit her when she wakes up."

Murong Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that he couldn't easily tell Xiao Mo that she was pregnant in such an occasion.

"Yes... Your Highness, the Minister of Rites in the front hall requests to see you." He glanced inside the Lizheng Hall, turned sideways, and gently lowered his eyelids.

Qi Minxiu stared blankly at the direction of the front court behind him, and sighed slightly tiredly: "Well, let him go to the front hall of Taiji Palace and wait."

In the inner room of Lizheng Hall, when Shen Yun hurried to the bedside, she found that Xiao Mo had woken up.

She half-opened her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Only after hearing the sound did she come to her senses and look in the direction Shen Yun was coming from.

Shen Yun smiled and sat down on the bed, putting her exposed hand under the quilt: "Miss, you have suffered."

Xiao Mo coughed twice and smiled: "What's so hard about it? Who among us has it easy?"

She sat up gently and leaned against the pillow. Looking at the person in front of her who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, she couldn't help but pull her eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say to me?"
