Chapter 108 Come on hard
At noon and in the evening, Xiao Mo stayed in Yongyang Palace to eat.
The emperor came once during the trip, and Concubine Liang happily told him how Xiao Mo had treated her injuries, and also said coquettishly that she wanted to keep Xiao Mo in the palace to accompany her for a few days.
The emperor doted on Concubine Liang and agreed without a second thought.
Originally, Xiao Mo had planned to talk to Concubine Liang in the evening about letting her go, but now, she really couldn't leave without being detained for a few days.
Qi Yue watched the scene his mother was performing and couldn't help but smile.
In order not to disappoint Concubine Liang's painstaking efforts, he found an excuse to stay.
"Mother, I've been so busy with official duties lately that I haven't been able to play chess with you for a while. I wonder if you're interested tonight?"
Concubine Liang immediately understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Mo didn't understand what they were doing, and out of her doctor's instinct, she pulled Qi Yue.
"The queen just took medicine and should rest early. How can she play chess with you?"
Concubine Liang waved her hand and signaled the maid to get the chess pieces.
Since she couldn't persuade her, she wanted to ask where she would stay tonight so that she could retreat and rest.
Before she could organize her words, Concubine Liang pulled her to her side and said, "General Xiao, do you think this move of mine was the right one?"
Xiao Mo took a closer look and raised her hand to move the chess piece that Concubine Liang had just placed. "I think this is better."
Concubine Liang and Qi Yue's eyes lit up. She quickly stood up and pushed Xiao Mo to sit on the chair: "Come, come, you are better than me, you come down."
Xiao Mo leaned on the armrest of the chair in shock: "This is a chess game between you and His Highness, how can I..."
"You can. I'll be watching you and learning from you."
She couldn't persuade Concubine Liang, so she just told her directly that she wanted to rest.
Concubine Liang smiled and patted her shoulder: "Only if you win this game of chess will I let you go to rest, General Xiao, come on."
Xiao Mo was really annoyed by this woman, but she didn't dare to be too rude. Thinking that she didn't make any excessive demands, she agreed.
Qi Yue praised while playing, "I never thought you were such a good chess player, Mo. You're a hidden talent."
The maids gathered around him and echoed, "His Royal Highness's chess skills are unmatched in the entire Imperial City. General Xiao is truly remarkable to receive His Highness's praise."
Xiao Mo stared sharply at the chess pieces on the chessboard, curled her lips and chuckled softly, "Your Highness is an excellent chess player. I can't compare to him. He's just giving me a break now."
Just let me...
Xiao Mo suddenly realized what he meant and looked up at the person opposite her. When their eyes met, Qi Yue's eyes flashed with admiration.
This mother and son were actually playing a trick on her.
She suppressed her anger and played for a while longer, yawning several times in succession: "I am very sleepy. I am afraid I can't accompany Your Highness to finish this game of chess."
After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Concubine Liang who was dozing off not far away.
Qi Yue's smiling face changed slightly. Thinking that she had just escaped and must need a lot of rest, she stood up and wanted to say goodbye to Concubine Liang.
However, Concubine Liang said that there was another frightened concubine of lower rank living in the side hall.
She apologized and said that she had forgotten about it during the day. Now there were no extra rooms in Yongyang Palace, so Xiao Mo had to follow Qi Yue to stay in the East Palace temporarily.
Xiao Mo realized she had been tricked. Her kind eyes widened and she frowned unhappily, "What is your purpose in going through so many troubles, Madam?"
Concubine Liang liked her straightforwardness and didn't beat around the bush: "Of course I did this to bring you and the Crown Prince together."
"But I am already the consort of Prince Chen, and the Crown Prince and Prince Chen are brothers. Isn't it against moral principles for Your Majesty to do this?"
"You are the only one who acknowledges the identity of Princess Chen. Without the Emperor's consent, this does not count."
Xiao Mo looked at her coldly: "We have been married and are a legitimate couple."
Concubine Liang snorted, half mockingly, "I've said this: if the Emperor says so, your wedding will be void."
Xiao Mo flashed her cold eyes, knowing what she meant. She was so favored that she could achieve her goal by just saying a few words in front of the emperor.
If I piss her off today...
"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I don't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Mo suppressed her anger and lowered her head helplessly.
Qi Yue, who had been silent the whole time, became emotional when he heard her say that she didn't like him.
He walked up to her angrily, grabbed her wrist and walked out: "Mother, please rest early. I will take you away."
Concubine Liang stood at the door with a smile on her face, watching them leave.
The maidservant standing beside her asked quietly, "General Xiao is too blunt. How many people dream of marrying the Crown Prince, and yet she bluntly said she doesn't like him."
"Humph, what Yue'er likes is her bold and daring temperament."
"Then, Your Highness, if you force her to go to the Eastern Palace, will something happen, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Liang raised her chin with a determined look on her face, grinning from ear to ear: "What could possibly happen? Are you still afraid that Xiao Mo will dare to do something to Yue'er?"
On the palace corridor, Xiao Mo struggled as she walked, but the force on her wrist became stronger and stronger.
Qi Yue pulled her with a slight anger and walked quickly towards the East Palace.
He was angry at her for saying she didn't like him in front of so many people, and he unconsciously increased his strength.
"Let me go, Qi Yue! You hurt me!" Xiao Mo used her other hand to hit his arm with all her strength, but he could not feel any force and continued to walk forward with an expressionless face.
"hiss……"
Xiao Mo cried out in pain, waking Qi Yue from his deep thought.
He frowned and stopped, looking back at her, then at his hands: "What? Did it hurt you?"
"What do you think? Just break my wrist." Xiao Mo glared at him angrily.
Qi Yue looked at her doubtfully for a while, then suddenly bent down and carried her on his shoulders.
Xiao Mo was startled and kicked her legs hard: "What are you doing!? Let me go, I can walk by myself."
Qi Yue said nothing, strode forward with a serious expression, and soon arrived at the East Palace.
Xiao Mo felt dizzy from the swaying all the way, and was placed on the bed, stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
She sat up quickly, but was blocked by Qi Yue at the bedside: "Your hand..."
"What's wrong with my hand? Get out of the way!"
"Amo, are you hiding something from me?" Qi Yue leaned on the edge of the bed with his hands and looked at her seriously.
Xiao Mo didn't push him away. Instead, she retracted her feet and moved closer: "What can I hide from you?"
Qi Yue looked her up and down: "Really? If you don't tell me, then I'll have to find the answer myself."
After saying that, he lowered the bed curtain and pounced on Xiao Mo.
