Chapter 894: Sending Away the God of Plague
“How dare you use witchcraft to plot against the king’s life. Someone, someone come!”
Gong Chang’an was despondent as he quickly went up and anxiously waved his hand. “Fourth Princess, don’t give the king more trouble! You should quickly return first.”
The fourth princess Mo Shuang was enraged. “Gong Chang’an, you sure are audacious. How dare you drive away this princess?”
At this, Gong Chang’an really wanted to cry. Afterall, he was clearly being loyal and protecting his master. It was all for the princess’s sake!
How could the princess’s dumb brain match up against the crown prince consort?
Yet she dared to make such an uproar here. Wait until the crown prince consort teaches you a lesson later.
The fourth princess Mo Shuang wore a sullen face as she walked up to Qiao Mu’s table. She stuck out her leg, intending to flip over her short table with a kick, yet Qiao Mu pressed down on it, preventing Mo Shuang from doing anything to it.
“You!” Mo Shuang was livid, yet she couldn’t overcome Qiao Mu’s force, so she stomped backwards and scolded her with glaring eyes. “As expected, you are a brazen woman! How dare you be so impudent even inside the King’s Palace. Gong Chang’an!!”
Gong Chang’an walked up to the fourth princess with a woeful expression. “Princess, you had better return first!”
“That won’t do, I have an important matter to report to Royal Father!” Mo Shuang seized Gong Chang’an’s collar and shouted angrily, “Hurry up and make this woman undo the witchcraft on the king!”
Gong Chang’an’s face became even more woeful: Your Highness, are you joking? Her Lady the Crown Prince Consort dared to put even the king into order, let alone him, a lowly servant!
What the heck could he do? Wouldn’t it just be delivering a lamb into a tiger’s den!
Mo Shuang turned around and glared at Qiao Mu, yet she couldn’t do anything about her at all. Look at how composed this crown prince consort was while eating her meal, not even raising an eyelid. It truly made Mo Shuang feel a bit crushed inside.
It was clearly her who was royalty, okay!
Why could this crown prince consort behave so much more unscrupulously than her, a princess?
After another five minutes.
While twitching his mouth, Huifeng ran back and reported the latest situation on the battlefield to the crown prince: “The king can finally move again. He just called forth his hidden guards, intending to seize the crown prince consort to punish her.”
“Yet who would have expected that with a flick of her sleeves, the crown prince consort would pull out one wad of blue immobilization talismans after another. She then softly questioned the king: ‘Your Majesty, there are 100 immobilization talismans here, and each one can immobilize a person for two hours! If used altogether on your body, how many days’ worth of dirt do you think you would have to eat?”
Mo Lian was taken aback, after which he cracked up in laughter. That was indeed something his Qiaoqiao would do!
“And then what happened?”
“The king sent the manager eunuch Gong Chang’an to reverently escort the crown prince consort out the palace.”
“Reportedly, when Gong Chang’an left after escorting the crown prince consort out, he scampered away faster than a hare. It was simply as if he was sending away the god of plague.” Huifeng recounted, both amused and exasperated.
Thinking about it, that really was the case! After calling the crown prince consort to the King’s Palace to admonish her in all seriousness, the king inexplicably ended up having to stand still for two hours as punishment.
Anyhow, the king must be feeling depressed right now!
Mo Lian laughed heartily as he walked out from his secret room while praising profusely, “I’m relieved that Qiaoqiao didn’t suffer a loss. Okay, I’ll go visit Royal Father now!”
Your Highness, can you be even more biased? Huifeng speechlessly looked up at the sky.
“Your Highness, I feel that you had best not go over right now. The king is furiously reprimanding the fourth princess at the moment.”
“What did she enter the palace for?” Speaking of this fourth sister Mo Shuang, Crown Prince Mo’s brows involuntarily creased.
“The fourth princess entered the palace to request for a consort!”
“What?” For a moment, Crown Prince Mo thought that he had heard wrong.
