1546 Pack Me Up and Take Me with You

It was no joking matter for a girl to enter the barracks. There were many inconveniences with such a situation.

Of course, Xiao Lin'er's capabilities naturally weren't weak. She was about to break through level 8 mystic cultivation at the age of twelve.

These two sisters both had monstrous talent.

Qiao Lin raised her petite head. "Brother-in-Law, Brother-in-Law, Sister has already agreed!"

Since Darling Qiao had already agreed, the crown prince naturally… had no objections.

The crown prince summoned Huifeng and had him deliver that pledge to Twelfth Mo for safekeeping.

After chatting with Qiao Zhongbang and Wei Ziqin and having dinner with them, he then took his leave to return to the palace.

The entire way, the little fellow sat inside the carriage grumpily while staying silent.

When the crown prince saw this, he couldn't help but reach out to rub the top of her head. "Haven't we made a deal? Qiaoqiao can't be unhappy. I will definitely come find you in Shuntian Prefecture in five months. I absolutely won't go back on my word!"

Qiao Mu scooted toward him before tilting her head up at him. "You are leaving today?"

The crown prince nodded. "Soon."

"Then you can't watch me climb the heaven-ascension stairs."

Unhappy!

She truly didn't feel much when this person stuck around her normally.

But when she found out that he was about to leave soon, her heart hurt. It felt empty, as if it was missing a piece.

She just wasn't happy!

The crown prince tucked a lock of hair hanging in front of her forehead behind her ear. He then cupped her petite face, slowly and gently kissing her lips. "Qiaoqiao, you must protect yourself well so that I won't worry."

Qiao Mu snuggled in his embrace and hugged his waist with her small paws. "You also have to promise me that you will stay away from danger and not let yourself get hurt. Nor should you act recklessly just to cut down on time."

Mo Lian nodded after hearing this. He placed her on his thighs and encircled her body with his arms. He nuzzled his head against the nook of her neck as he sighed, "What to do, what to do. I am already missing you very, very much even before leaving."

"How about, you store me in a storage talisman and bring me along?" Darling Qiao's eyes lit up as she turned to discuss this with him.

Crown Prince Mo couldn't resist guffawing when he saw the little fellow's earnest little expression.

This little one's expression that said "pack me up and take me with you" was killing him with cuteness.

"I won't be able to hide it from Heavenly Law. Should Heavenly Law discover that I brought a helper, don't you think that I'll be punished even more heavily?"

"Liar." Qiao Mu puffed out her petite cheeks as she glanced at him. "You just don't want to bring me."

The crown prince hugged her helplessly as he consoled gently, "Mhm, I don't want to bring you. There are too many uncertainties that I cannot risk it."

"I can't bear to leave you," the crown prince murmured as he tightened his arms.

"Qiaoqiao, you must take care of yourself…"

The carriage entered the Eastern Palace, and the couple alighted while hand in hand. They roamed about leisurely under the moonlight on the colorfully paved paths.

Simultaneously, their linked hands cast an intertwined shadow in the moonlight.

They strolled about the Eastern Palace's small garden once, but Miss Qiao simply didn't want to rest and had him stroll around with her two more times.

"Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you."

Qiao Mu thought it was a good idea after thinking it over. She just laid on his back and nuzzled her petite head against the nook of his neck, mumbling, "Hubby, can you not leave today."

"Okay, I'll go when the day breaks. I will be accompanying you the whole night tonight." Mo Lian responded gently, "Sleep if you're tired."

"No." This person wouldn't be beside her when she woke up.
