Qiao Mu cast him a glance, both amused and exasperated. Were you treating my sister as a pig!
Huifeng also really wanted to roast, Your Highness, are you blind? How is your stoic-faced wife vivacious and entertaining? Can she even become vivacious?
During the carriage ride, the crown prince grasped Qiao Mu’s small hands. “Qiaoqiao, Royal Mother definitely didn’t have someone poison that wine. You have to believe me.”
Qiao Mu merely returned a glance to him that had “You think I’m a fool” written all over it.
The crown prince straightaway laughed himself silly and nodded as he remarked, “I just knew that my Qiaoqiao is so intelligent, certainly one of a kind in this world. I will definitely strictly investigate the truth of this matter. To dare poison only you in front of everyone’s watchful eyes, this person must have bribed that royal maid beside you. In addition, there aren’t that many people who can bribe the people inside my Royal Mother’s palace. As for such a rarely seen highly toxic poison…”
“I was the one who scattered that poison powder into the wine cup.” Qiao Mu said dryly. “I scattered a smidge of incomparably toxic poison powder whose toxicity would spread and fester the flesh upon contact.”
The crown prince: … Sure enough, my wife is not ordinary.
Huifeng’s mouth twitched: What to do? The crown prince consort is so cruel.
“Before this, she poisoned my wine with a slow poison. Three months later, I might have unwittingly died all of a sudden with a stomp of my foot.” Qiao Mu’s detached tone caused the storm in the crown prince’s eyes to surge up violently and uninhibitedly in a raging tide.
“I’m just curious, will this person still send some kind of person to my side and continue to feed me poison!” She really was very curious.
“Darling, what do you plan to do? I will completely support you! Just say the word!”
Huifeng: … Your Highness, quickly pick up the principles that you dropped all over the ground! Where did my wise, divine, and mighty Highness, eulogized by all, disappear to!
“I plan to turn their trick against themselves and lie low in wait. I’ll wait until that person comes to hide by my side, then I’ll secretly transfer all the poison that person tries to feed me all onto their own body.”
The crown prince carried her to his lap and repeatedly nodded as he said, “Qiaoqiao, you’re really amazing!”
Huifeng: … Crown Prince Consort the Great, are you certain it’s not because you’re lazy and don’t want to investigate, that you said “lie low in wait?”
“That’s right, I remember that a certain someone said last night that he would tell me a hilarious joke upon returning from morning court.” Qiao Mu said while pursing her small mouth.
Realization immediately dawned on the crown prince, and he said while chuckling, “Last night, I heard that a thief snuck into Second Royal Brother’s estate. All hell had broken loose, and the night was not peaceful. Second Royal Brother had even tripped and fell when pursuing the thief. It was so bad that his elbow even cracked from the fall.”
Qiao Mu compressed her lips. “But I saw his mother Consort Liu today, and she was all smiles, like nothing was wrong. Her son had already tripped into a wretched dog of a mess, so why can she still smile?”
Huifeng: … Her Highness the Crown Prince Consort’s wording felt a bit strange!
“The more entertaining event happens tonight. Yesterday was only a warm-up. He thinks that he’ll be able to sleep soundly tonight? Hmph!” The crown prince continued to speak softly into her ear.
Qiao Mu’s eyes suddenly bulged, and she turned to look at this crown prince. A gremlin! Who could be his match!
“Qiaoqiao, is it hilarious?” Mo Lian swayed with a grin while hugging his wifey. “Show me a smile then.”
Qiao Mu immediately averted her small head and faced him with the back of her head instead.
Chuckling lightly, Mo Lian was just about to turn her head back around when a black shadow suddenly landed next to the carriage. He said anxiously, “Your Highness, Madam Qiao and Second Miss were attacked at Dongshun Gate. Our people are already doing everything they can to resist. Everything’s alright for the time being.”
What?
Qiao Mu was alarmed, and the crown prince’s expression also immediately turned solemn.
