My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Chapter 1010: Curiosity

While looking at him with shining eyes, the little fellow rubbed his displeased but handsome face.

The crown prince was taken aback, but then he laughed out loud as he scooped the little fellow onto his legs at once and kneaded her in passing, since courtesy demands reciprocity!

Shaoyao just so happened to walk into the room at this time, and when she witnessed this scene, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth in amusement. She then tactfully turned around and stepped out at once.

“Alright, you all don’t need to stand here. Go do your work now.” Shaoyao waved her hand at the maids standing outside, and they naturally dispersed.

As Mo Lian hugged the little one, he fed her the pine nuts that he had cracked. “Recently, has anything happened with that Xiang Yuanyuan here?”

“The day before yesterday, someone came at night and gave her a small brocade box with a medicinal pill in it.” Qiao Mu propped up her small chin as she chewed absentmindedly. “I took a glance. It should be a slow-acting controlling poison pill.”

“But Xiang Yuanyuan buried this box, just under the tree roots in her backyard.”

Mo Lian scoffed. “She indeed has some brains. She must know that you would definitely send people to keep an eye on her. The reason she did that is just to show that she is yielding to you. Do you believe her?”

Qiao Mu shook her head.

“Previously, she said again that Second Qin had specially sent a batch of people to capture you on the day of the competition!” Which caused him to be keyed up and make early preparations for that day.

However, even though Second Qin’s people didn’t come, a godd*mn Mu Qianqian came along and revolted him terribly.

Recently, the crown prince hadn’t been idle, having been fully suppressing the Mu Clan’s businesses inside the capitol. Since they made him miserable, then he must also make the Mu Clan miserable along with him.

“Sigh.” Qiao Mu sighed. “Forget it, not thinking about it anymore. She won’t be able to make much of a splash anyway.”

“But I feel that Second Qin has his purpose for using every possible means to place a pawn beside you.” Mo Lian stuffed several cracked pine nuts into her mouth. “How about driving her out and let that be the end of it?”

“I’m just a bit curious about what she wants to do.” Qiao Mu hammered her small fist.

“First of all, since she is a normal person, you definitely won’t be too guarded against her.”

“Second of all, no matter if it’s when she escaped from the Qin Estate that very night and sold out a piece of information to you. Or when she obtained poison medicine from the Qin Estate’s guard later on but was unwilling to use it on you. These events are both conveying the same message, that she is expressing her loyalty to you.”

“It’s right that you’re curious. Second Qin, that guy, knows that you will be curious and wants you to keep her in the estate.” Crown Prince Mo raised his brow and narrowed his phoenix eyes as he said, “No matter how she treated you in the past. I feel that she is dangerous. If you aren’t going to make a move, I’m going to take care of her for you.”

If he were to intervene, his methods wouldn’t be that gentle…

Qiao Mu helplessly cast him a glance. “Okay, okay, then I’ll have Xiang Yuanyuan leave.”

Soon afterwards, Qiao Mu promptly called for Shaoyao, telling her to give Xiang Yuanyuan some silver and grain and request for Xiang Yuanyuan to leave the Qiao Family.

Subsequently, she turned her small head to the crown prince. “Satisfied?”

Crown Prince Mo chuckled as he gave a nod.

After the two people chatted some more, it was time to light the lamps. At this time, Manager Gong came with people to announce the king’s decree.

When he saw that the crown prince was also present, Gong Chang’an instantly sensed the cold sweat on his forehead dripping down at once.

While withstanding His Highness the Crown Prince’s severe gaze, Gong Chang’an announced His Majesty’s decree with fear and trepidation: ‘The crown prince consort is to wake up at 3 o’clock tomorrow morning and personally lead the womenfolk of the palace to Great Sea Monastery’s Pacification Pagoda to pray for the kingdom’s and the people’s good fortune.’
