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

Chapter 187 Make Her Your Own

Looking at this happy ending, the emperor's mood turned from gloomy to sunny. He felt relieved after the heavy stone in his heart fell.

"You guys get up." He raised his arm, motioning them to sit down. After a while, the palace maid brought Yang Zerui a cup of tea.

He was flattered, but more than that, he was completely relieved, because this cup of tea at least proved that the emperor truly accepted him.

"Where do you want to go for exercise?" The emperor looked at Yang Zerui and asked him seriously.

At first, Yang Zerui didn't know that the emperor was asking him, and only after Zhao Ning reminded him did he react.

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, and I am willing to go to the military camp to train my body and mind."

The emperor nodded and asked, "What position do you want to start with?"

"Since I'm a newcomer, I naturally have to start from the bottom."

Princess Zhaoning's eyes darkened when she heard Yang Zerui's sincere answer.

She was afraid that the emperor would agree, so she quickly interrupted their conversation: "Father, A Rui is a prince consort after all, how can he start as a soldier?"

The emperor thought so too. He thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Mo beside him.

"General Xiao, I will leave the training of my future consort to you. What do you think?"

Xiao Mo was called out of the blue and was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"This...I'm afraid..."

"He will go to your East Army Camp and serve as a coach first. When he becomes capable, he can move up. You can't let him go."

Xiao Mo wanted to say something to shirk the responsibility, but before she could finish her words, Princess Zhaoning and Yang Zerui thanked the emperor at the same time.

"If there's nothing else, please leave."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, shook his sleeves, and walked past them towards the door.

Qi Minxiu stood up, took Xiao Mo's hand, walked to Zhao Ning and touched her head.

"Congratulations, you two are finally together."

Zhao Ning held Yang Zerui's arm and smiled happily: "I have to thank General Xiao very much. Father said that A Rui and I can succeed. General Xiao has said a lot for us."

She always looked at Xiao Mo with gratitude in her eyes.

But Xiao Mo looked at her as if she was looking at a child.

She let go of Yang Zerui's hand and rubbed against Xiao Mo coquettishly: "No, I was wrong, it's not General Xiao, it should be the emperor's sister-in-law, hehe."

Qi Minxiu blushed, a rare moment of embarrassment at her words: "I'm glad to know."

Xiao Mo suppressed her smile and glanced at him: "It turns out you are not thick-skinned. It seems that I misunderstood you before."

Zhao Ning was amused by her words: "The emperor's sister-in-law is really humorous."

Several people walked towards the hall door, talking and laughing. When they were about to reach the threshold, Zhao Ning suddenly saw bloodstains dripping on the ground.

She slowly put away her smile and slowed down her pace.

Yang Zerui noticed her abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

His voice startled Xiao Mo and Qi Minxiu who were walking in front.

They also turned around and asked her: "What happened?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the guy who almost married me when I won the ring.

I stabbed her, and I don’t know how she is doing now.”

Xiao Mo's hand, which was raised to comfort her, stopped in the air and she retracted it unnaturally.

"Why are you thinking about her for no reason?" She turned her face away feeling guilty.

Zhao Ning pouted: "I almost married someone I didn't like. It wasn't my intention to hurt him, so I..."

She spoke softer and softer, and finally lowered her head.

"Actually, I am..." Xiao Mo was about to tell her that she was the man, but Qi Minxiu interrupted her halfway.

"Now that the emperor has approved your marriage, you should stop thinking about insignificant people."

"Yes!" Zhao Ning happily took Xiao Mo's injured hand and smiled sweetly: "Thanks to the Emperor's sister-in-law, this kindness will never be forgotten by Ning'er!"

"Hiss~" Xiao Mo gently pulled back her hand and laughed dryly twice: "Actually, I just said it casually, without holding too much hope.

The Emperor loves you and is afraid that you will be sad, so he followed the steps I set for him and agreed to your request."

Hearing Xiao Mo's cry of pain, Qi Minxiu quickly pulled her hand over to check: "Did it hurt you?"

Xiao Mo retracted her hand and glanced at him: "No, I'm not made of dough, how can I be so delicate."

These words dispelled Zhaoning's doubts and worries.

She regained her smile, pulled her and walked out: "Come on, let's go to my palace, let's have something delicious to celebrate."

Qi Minxiu and Yang Zerui looked at each other, shook their heads, and quickly followed.

Yongyang Palace.

Concubine Liang was so angry that she picked up a teacup and smashed it on the palace maid kneeling on the ground.

"Trash, all rubbish!"

The palace maid crossed her hands in front of her and bowed her head respectfully: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."

"The last assassination attempt failed, which is fine. But this time, Xu Renchuan has been thrown into prison, and you actually let him walk out. How can I calm down my anger?"

Concubine Liang's chest was heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry. The palace maid beside her hurried forward to support her.

"My Lady, you can't blame her for this. You know how powerful Xiao Mo's mouth is.

She persuaded the emperor with a few words, and Xu Renchuan was locked up in the morning and released before noon.

If he died in prison in less than half a day, the emperor would definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

It would be bad if the last assassination incident in front of the emperor was brought up again."

Concubine Liang closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and slowly calmed down her anger: "Xiao-Mo!"

The maid stood beside her, leaning forward and whispering, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry about her. No matter how powerful she is, she can't pose a threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Besides, from what I see, she doesn't seem to have any intention of opposing us."

Concubine Liang glanced at her, picked up the tea beside her and took a sip.

"Everyone is ambitious. She is currently doing nothing because her power has not yet reached a level that she is satisfied with.

Now she is the Major General of the Eastern Army Camp, commanding cavalry, and the people around her who are close to her also have some military power.

If you are determined to help Qi Minxiu fight for the throne, even if Yue'er is already the crown prince, it will not be easy for him to ascend the throne."

The palace maid thought carefully about her words: "But if you want to get rid of Xiao Mo, it will not be an easy task, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Mo must either die or be used by me."

Concubine Liang looked into the distance, and the cruelty in her eyes gradually surfaced.

The palace maid frowned and asked tentatively, "Then according to your Majesty, how should we deal with Xiao Mo?"

"You also said that killing her is not an easy task, so the only way is to make her one of our own."

"But the Emperor has already granted her a marriage to His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of stealing her away. So, how can we make her our own?"

Concubine Liang looked at the anxious palace maid, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled coldly: "Let me think about this carefully."

In fact, she already had an idea in her mind, but this matter still needed to be considered carefully.
