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

Chapter 218 Take action

Xiao Mo pouted uncertainly: "I'm not sure, but now she has to agree even if she doesn't want to."

Shen Yun was puzzled as to why she said that: "Miss, what do you mean?"

"Liang Guifei has already taken action. Although I don't know what kind of drug was put in her food, it is definitely not a good thing."

After Shen Yun left in the afternoon, Xiao Mo followed Concubine Liang's maid alone to find out some news.

She didn't know anything else, but there was solid evidence that she had been drugged.

Shen Yun looked at her attire and recalled the scene when she was about to go out when she just came back. She frowned and asked, "Miss, are you planning to go to Chunhua Palace to find Wu Zhaoyi?"

"Well, let's go together and make a quick decision to avoid exposing any flaws."

Xiao Mo squeezed the thumb-sized jade bottle in her hand and was stunned when she walked to the door.

Shen Yun didn't know why she stopped, so she walked over and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

"We can't go through the front door, we have to climb through the window, quick."

If Shen Yun hadn't come back, she would have gone out through the main gate.

It’s okay if no one sees you when you leave here, but it will be troublesome if someone sees you.

The two men silently climbed out of an inconspicuous window and quickly reached the roof of Chunhua Palace using their lightness skills.

In the room, Wu Zhaoyi was still hesitating about what Xiao Mo had said during the day. She was pacing around the room restlessly when she heard a series of tiny sounds from the beams.

Just as she was wondering, two people jumped in from the window next to her.

She was panicked for a moment, then looked carefully and saw that it was Xiao Mo and Shen Yun, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you go through the main door and come in from here." Wu Zhaoyi walked forward puzzled, glanced out the window, and quickly closed it.

Xiao Mo walked over to the square table and sat down: "I came to ask you for answers. If I go through the main entrance, I will alert the enemy."

Wu Zhaoyi bit her lip and slowly walked towards her: "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"Empress Zhaoyi, you don't have time anymore. Have you taken your medicine and eaten tonight?"

"No." She shook her head. "I had a stomachache this afternoon and didn't feel like eating at night."

Xiao Mo frowned: "You haven't had this before, right?"

She shook her head again: "I've only recently been experiencing frequent stomach bloating and stomach pain."

"Maybe the medicine Imperial Doctor Li gave you was too strong and hurt your spleen and stomach. It's okay, I'll help you adjust it."

Xiao Mo stood up and took out the small jade bottle from her sleeve.

"If you take this medicine, you'll be in suspended animation. I can wake you up within seven days. Come..."

Looking at the thing in her hand, Wu Zhaoyi subconsciously took a step back: "I, I..."

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Don't be afraid, this is not real poison. It won't hurt when you drink it. It will be like sleeping."

Xiao Mo approached her and explained to her in a gentle voice.

"We don't have much time. If the prince doesn't see me when he returns to the East Palace, he'll get suspicious."

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Shen Yun also stepped forward and echoed: "What are you waiting for, Empress Zhaoyi? We are running out of time!"

Wu Zhaoyi glanced at the palace maid next to her who was as panicked as she was, her expression changed, and she turned sideways.

"How do I know whether what you said is true or not? What if this is something that can poison me to death?"

"How can you think that? If I wanted to poison someone, I wouldn't use such a trick.

If you go to bed tonight, you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning and you won't even know how you died."

Xiao Mo didn't expect her to say that, and she felt very depressed.

But think about it, they just met today, how could they just trust someone they have never been with?

If it were her, she might be more vigilant than her.

After hearing her words, Wu Zhaoyi's panicked eyes showed a hint of anger.

"Or there's another possibility. You'll use this opportunity to send me out of the palace, and then report me to the emperor for having an affair with someone outside the palace, so that he can confiscate my Wu family."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if things were really as she said.

Xiao Mo was embarrassed and tilted her head with a helpless smile: "How come you have such a rich imagination?"

Wu Zhaoyi raised her chin, turned around and glared at her with pride: "Just tell me if my guess is right?!"

Xiao Mo thought about it and suddenly changed her attitude, even the smile on her face changed.

"Yes, you are right, that is exactly what I thought."

Hearing this answer, not only she and the palace maid, but even Shen Yun was shocked.

She hurried forward to confirm: "Miss, that's not what you said in Yilan Palace just now."

Xiao Mo raised her hand to interrupt her: "Just now was just now, now is now, I suddenly feel that what she said makes sense."

She stood up and walked towards Wu Zhaoyi step by step.

Wu Zhaoyi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she retreated step by step: "How dare you? I am the Emperor's Concubine Zhaoyi!"

"So what? I've explained it, but you just don't believe it." Xiao Mo raised the corners of her mouth and smiled harmlessly.

The palace maid was obviously very scared, but she still protected Wu Zhaoyi at the first moment.

"General Xiao, don't take advantage of your abilities and do whatever you want. If you really did anything to the Empress today, the Emperor will definitely not let you go if he finds out!"

"You are too naive. How could I let the emperor know about this?"

Xiao Mo smiled and pressed a point to stabilize her body, then gently pulled Wu Zhaoyi out from behind her.

Wu Zhaoyi watched in panic as she unscrewed the jade bottle in her hand with one hand and poured a white pill into her hand.

"No, whatever you want, I promise you..."

Xiao Mo shook her head: "I just want you to fake your death so that you can be with your sweetheart."

However, Wu Zhaoyi did not believe her words. When she retreated in a panic, she accidentally stepped on the edge of her skirt and fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

"Don't come over here, go away!"

"This medicine is slightly sweet and fishy, but it's much easier to swallow than those tonics you take."

Xiao Mo pressed her acupoints while speaking, and then put the pill in her hand into her mouth before untying her.

Wu Zhaoyi cried silently, and when she wanted to shout for help, she found that she could no longer make a sound.

After watching her close her eyes, Xiao Mo walked forward and made sure that she was dead before turning to walk towards the palace maid.

The palace maid was so scared that she wanted to escape but couldn't, and wanted to cry but couldn't. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Xiao Mo would spare her life.

Just as she thought, Xiao Mo did not take her life, but just fed her a mute pill.

She wanted to cry but had no tears, but she could only accept defeat.

Shen Yun looked at the scene in shock and couldn't help swallowing.

She had followed Xiao Mo for so long, but had never seen her like this. It turned out that when she looked fierce, her face looked a bit like the King of Hell.

After doing all this, Xiao Mo rearranged the things in the room and then left Chunhua Palace as quickly as possible.
