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

Chapter 221 Rescue someone late at night

Shen Yun stayed in the outer room. After seeing Qi Yue off, she quickly went to the inner room to find Xiao Mo.

In fact, on the way back just now, she had been wanting to ask her a question, but she was afraid of being overheard so she didn't ask.

Now that they were alone in the room, she could finally clear her confusion.

"Miss, is that honey water thing true or false? Why didn't the imperial physician tell us beforehand? We have to rely on smelling it."

Xiao Mo covered her nose and chuckled: "Of course it's fake."

"Fake?!" Shen Yun was so shocked that she raised her voice.

Xiao Mo quickly covered her mouth and glared at her: "Be quiet!"

Shen Yun was startled for a moment, then nodded. She then let go of her hand, straightened her clothes, and sat back down.

"The reason why the imperial doctors didn't say anything was because there was no such thing at all, but they were not sure, so they didn't deny me.

After all, there are so many medical books and texts that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and nothing is absolute."

"What if the imperial doctors go back and want to test this again? Wouldn't that expose the truth?"

"There are many kinds of phantom poisons, and the effects vary depending on the ingredients. No one can identify them."

Xiao Mo calmly took a sip of tea and looked at Shen Yun with a smug smile.

Shen Yun nodded, thinking to herself that he was indeed a medical expert.

According to Wu Zhaoyi's position, the funeral could only be held for three days, and the burial had to be on the fourth day.

On the day of the burial, Xiao Mo arranged everyone and waited until nightfall to bring Wu Zhaoyi out of the concubine's tomb.

That day, she also brought out the palace maid who had been poisoned and made mute by her.

Although she didn't believe Shen Yun when she first heard her say that she would take her to see Wu Zhaoyi, after hearing Xiao Mo's casual explanation, she followed with the mentality of giving it a try.

Originally, she wanted to commit suicide for her master after Wu Zhaoyi's death, but she didn't want to die in vain. She thought that even if she died, she would drag Xiao Mo or Shen Yun down with her.

But as a palace maid who knew nothing, she wouldn't dare to assassinate anyone, even if someone gave her a knife and asked her to stab her.

She also made two plans for following Xiao Mo out of the palace this time.

If what Xiao Mo said was true, then everyone would be happy, and she would be her second master from now on.

But if Xiao Mo was lying to her, she would find a way to die with her.

Xiao Mo saw her thoughts from her eyes and couldn't help but smile lightly.

"It's very frustrating, right? You can't beat it, you can't kill it, and you don't want it to die."

The palace maid's face turned red when she heard what she said, and she fiddled with her sleeves to ease her embarrassment.

After a while, they arrived at a place and Shen Yun parked the carriage deep in the woods.

Arriving at the underground palace, Xiao Mo skillfully found Wu Zhaoyi's coffin, opened it easily, and helped the gorgeously dressed person inside to sit up.

Shen Yun walked behind her to assist her and took out a jade bottle from her bag, just like the one before.

Xiao Mo took the bottle and poured out a light green pill from it.

After stuffing it into Wu Zhaoyi's mouth, he immediately heard a sigh coming from deep in her throat.

The palace maid was so excited that she almost stamped her feet with joy.

Shen Yun looked at her unhappily, and she immediately restrained herself.

Xiao Mo supported Wu Zhaoyi, stepped into the coffin, sat behind her with her legs crossed, and continuously supplied her with internal energy.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Zhaoyi gradually responded.

She slowly opened her eyes and was startled by the depressing and terrifying scene before her.

When the palace maid saw her wake up, she rushed over, knelt in front of the coffin and cried hoarsely.

Xiao Mo took a deep breath and slowly came out. Seeing this, Shen Yun hurried forward to support her.

After Wu Zhaoyi calmed down, she slowly stood up, supporting herself with the coffin.

The palace maid's face was red from crying. She helped her out of the coffin and kept stammering, but no one knew what she was trying to say.

Wu Zhaoyi frowned and looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"

The palace maid pointed at Xiao Mo behind her, walked over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.

Xiao Mo bent down, helped her up, and took her to Wu Zhaoyi.

Seeing her, Wu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment: "You..."

She looked at her, then looked down at herself, not knowing whether to ask first or thank first.

At this moment, Xiao Mo took out another jade bottle from her sleeve.

She poured out a small white pill from it and handed it to the maid: "Eat it and you will be able to speak."

The palace maid looked at the small and very well-behaved pill and quickly stretched out her hands to hold it.

After eating it, her throat and vocal cords seemed to be resurrected and she could speak immediately.

Wu Zhaoyi was about to ask Xiao Mo what was going on, but Xiao Mo pointed to the door and said they should talk outside.

The four of them restored the coffin and the surrounding items to their original state, and then one by one they climbed out through a small hole.

Although it wasn't raining outside, the cold wind was so cold that it hurt like hell.

Xiao Mo took off her cloak and put it on Wu Zhaoyi, but when she turned around, her hand was grabbed.

"Why do you want to help me?"

She remembered her saying that she would help her be with her lover.

Xiao Mo looked back at her and took her hand: "It's cold outside, get in the carriage first."

As soon as the carriage started moving, Wu Zhaoyi fell to her knees, and the palace maid followed suit and also knelt down.

"I didn't believe you before and was full of doubts about you. I'm really sorry. Please accept my greeting."

As Wu Zhaoyi spoke, she bowed to Xiao Mo. The palace maid ignored everything and just followed her movements.

Xiao Mo rubbed her body and supported the two of them: "Get up first."

Wu Zhaoyi leaned against the wall of the carriage and slowly sat down beside it.

Xiao Mo didn't take the initiative to say where she would take them, nor did she ask any further questions.

After experiencing this incident, she felt that Xiao Mo was completely different from what she had imagined.

She was like she was sleeping, unaware of anything, and didn't feel any pain until she was woken up.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a thatched hut with a faint candlelight.

This place is very secluded. In the dark night, if you are not familiar with the road, you will get lost.

Under the guidance of Xiao Mo, Wu Zhaoyi met the man she had been thinking about for many years.

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun tactfully left the room and closed the door for them.

The two hugged each other and cried, and it took a long time for them to calm down.

After a while, another heavyweight arrived.

Wu Yajun, deputy director of the Imperial Observatory, came to the thatched cottage in plain clothes and entered the only lighted room under the guidance of the palace maid Wu Zhaoyi.

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun waited outside, giving the three of them enough time to reminisce.

A quarter of an hour later, the door opened, and Wu Yajun led Wu Zhaoyi and the man to kneel before Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo quickly helped everyone up one by one: "Don't kneel, this happened to be an opportunity. I just put in a little effort. It's not as exaggerated as you think. Hurry up!"

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Wu Zhaoyi: "From now on, you will be a free person. Be with him well and live the life you like."

Wu Zhaoyi looked at the man while crying, and he turned around and looked at her again with tears of gratitude.
