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

Chapter 138 Please forgive me

"Yes, the people in the palace are still looking for him!"

Xiao Xiang took the thing and said with pride: "With it, even if Prince Su doesn't help us, we can help ourselves."

"No! This thing is very important. Return it immediately."

Lin thought deeply for a while, then suddenly stood up and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiang quickly held the thing in her arms.

"No, I'm just borrowing it. Xiao Mo has no martial arts skills now, and it would be as easy for the secret guards of Prince Su's Mansion to kill her as to crush an ant.

I'll take this token and gather a few people to kill her, and then I'll return the things immediately."

"Prince Su has already noticed that something is missing. If you touch his people, he will become suspicious."

"So what if I'm discovered? I'm not the only one entering the palace.

Besides, when I came out, I heard Prince Su's attendant say that the palace's secret guards were not kept in the palace."

Although Lin disagreed with her approach, she was still curious: "Where are his secret guards kept?"

"I overheard that it seems to be kept in the courtyard behind the Su Wang Mansion, and the Su Wang hasn't been there for a long time.

Even if we borrow his people to use for a while, he won’t find out.”

Lin looked at Xiao Xiang with a little worry, and felt that what she said was not entirely unreasonable.

Xiao Xiang gripped the token tightly, the smug expression on her face almost ferocious.

At Prince Su's Mansion, Qi Suyuan was changing clothes after bathing.

The servant stood behind the screen and reported to him about Xiao Xiang.

The candlelight shone through the screen, illuminating his figure perfectly.

He flirted with the male favorite beside him while giving orders to his servants.

"That fool can't do anything even if she gets the token. If she doesn't know the way up the mountain, you have to help lead the way."

"Yes."

"Do it cleanly. This time, we can only succeed and not fail."

Qi Suyuan groaned through the screen, and the low panting sound made the follower behind the screen blush.

"Your Highness, rest assured. If Xiao Moruo really lost her power and became an ordinary person as Xiao Xiang said, I will definitely kill her and avenge our people."

"Go back."

"Yes."

The next day, after the morning court session, Qi Suyuan followed the emperor back to the rear hall.

If it were an ordinary day, he would have disappeared after court.

The emperor was puzzled by his actions today, but was also very pleased: "How come you have time to come and see me today?"

After Qi Suyuan finished his greetings, he sat down on a chair beside the emperor and looked at him with a guilty look on his face: "Your son is here to apologize."

The emperor's smiling face instantly fell when he saw his expression.

"What's wrong? What trouble have you gotten into again?"

Qi Suyuan curled his lips and looked at the emperor: "My son's token has been lost."

Thinking that he had done something to rob a good man again, the emperor subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say that he had lost the token.

"When was it lost?"

"yesterday."

The emperor frowned and looked at him. After a moment's silence, he asked again, "Do you know where it was lost?"

"I lost it in the mansion. I took sick leave yesterday and didn't even attend the morning court. I didn't leave the mansion the whole day." Qi Suyuan recalled seriously.

The emperor paused in drinking his tea when he heard his answer.

"Since it was lost in the mansion, why hasn't it been found?"

Qi Suyuan continued to think, "I am also puzzled, but I have already turned the mansion upside down."

The emperor put down his teacup and narrowed his sharp eyes: "So, did anyone visit your house yesterday?"

"Yes, there are three."

"Which three?"

"Minister Pei and Minister Li came to visit me this morning, and Imperial Physician Liu came to check my pulse this afternoon."

Qi Suyuan nodded while thinking seriously.

"Ah, and the second young lady of the Xiao family came here once in the evening."

"The second young lady of the Xiao family, what's her name, Xiao Xiang? Why did she come to see you?"

The emperor's face was full of doubts, and he became more and more confused the more he listened.

Qi Suyuan also shook his head in confusion, "I don't know. She said she came to visit me and left after staying for a while."

Having said this, the emperor became even more dizzy.

He frowned, stood up, and walked back and forth in front of the dragon throne.

"Isn't she in love with Yue'er? Since the Crown Princess's affair has even reached Concubine Liang's palace, why is she starting to care about you now?"

Qi Suyuan blinked and shook his head again with an innocent look.

"I don't know, but Father knows. I only like good-looking boys, and I don't have any feelings for her.

If she bothers me in the future like she did to my third brother, I, Your Majesty, must help me."

The emperor was troubled by his answer. When he mentioned his homosexuality, he felt guilty towards the deceased queen.

But think about it from another perspective. He has no ability to govern the country, and as an idle prince, it is harmless to have this little hobby.

"Forget it, leave now." The emperor waved his hand gently to send him away.

He was sensible. He bowed and turned away.

After Qi Suyuan left, the emperor called the imperial guard and asked him to investigate the people Qi Suyuan had just mentioned.

But Xiao Xiang was the only one not checked.

Because in the emperor's eyes, she may feel that she can't become the Crown Princess, nor the Princess of Chen, so she wants to win over Qi Suyuan to see if there is a chance for her to become the Princess of Su.

As a woman living in seclusion, she is much less suspicious than the other officials in the court.

On the other side, Xiao Mo just came out of Taoyuan and felt that someone was following her.

She led them to a secluded bamboo forest and shouted to the empty sky, "No need to hide, come out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a dozen masked men in black emerged from all directions.

This feeling of déjà vu made Xiao Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

The breeze gently brushed against her cheek, and the surrounding environment was so quiet that it was frightening.

The men in black didn't say anything extra. They swung their weapons and flew towards Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo and Shen Yun stood back to back. The former drew a soft sword from her waist, and the latter immediately took out the sword she carried with her.

The two groups fought fiercely, and all the bamboo within a radius of 100 meters was chopped into chips.

Although Xiao Mo's body had recovered long ago, coupled with her hard training during this period, her martial arts skills were better than before.

But she and Shen Yun were outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand.
