2411 Lady Qiaoqiao's Thoughts
So that was the case!
Mo Lian instantly understood!
Qiaoqiao was feeling embarrassed.
Right, that's right. With Qiaoqiao's temperament, it was impossible for her to admit that she was trapped inside a little ermine's body and unable to come out...
Mo Lian felt that he had found the truth!
He swiftly walked over to ask Duan Yue, "What did you call her just now?"
Duan Yue silently lowered his eyes. "Little Dumpling."
Mo Lian hastily followed suit and called out "Little Dumpling."
"Wait up, Little Dumpling!" He bounded forward and bent down to pick up the running little lady. He called out with a smile, "Little Dumpling."
Phooey! You're the Little Dumpling.
Qiao Mu looked at him expressionlessly.
"Be good, Little Dumpling. Let's get to know each other. I am Mo Lian. It's our first time meeting. Rest assured, I will take good care of you in the future." The crown prince squeezed her small limbs and mused: This sensation truly paled in comparison to his darling's soft and glossy hands...
Qiao Mu: ...
She felt like this denial was not covering up anything at all!
Duan Yue couldn't resist facepalming. He had thought this Crown Prince Mo to be rather wise and farsighted in the past. Who knew that he was just a retard!
"Let's first get back to Pingshan Town!" Duan Yue barked tensely.
Pingshan Town was the closest large town outside of the icebound snow territory.
After receiving such a shock, the empress and the rest were probably going to rest for one or two days in Pingshan Town before journeying back to the capital.
Crown Prince Mo felt quite exasperated. His wife was clearly right beside him, yet he had to pretend not to know her!
There was nothing to be done. He had to take care of her feelings!
The little ermine maintained a poker face as her black and beady eyes darted about.
It took at least four hours to travel from the icebound snow territory to Pingshan Town.
Adding to this was the violent gales and rainstorm that kept going for most of the day. The rain still had not stopped yet and seemed to get even harder. It was extremely difficult to travel, which took up even more time, but luckily, the thunderbolts had stopped. In order to get out sooner, Mo Lian summoned Little Seven and left while giving rides to Duan Yue and Rong Qing.
On the other hand, Ming Asi, whom Seventh Yan had been harassing, could only summon his python bull in anger. He also hurried toward Pingshan Town.
Ming Asi was naturally in a bad mood with it raining the entire way.
It was almost late into the night when they got to Pingshan Town.
Everybody was fatigued and exhausted after waking up so early in the morning, but they naturally caused considerable ruckus upon returning.
Noble Consort Duan had actually not shut her eyes the entire time. When she heard that Duan Yue had come back, she hastily came out to meet her son. She held his hand and talked to him in worry.
There was only one large inn in Pingshan Town. However, the emperor naturally was not going to stay in that inn with his status.
An official had already rented the richest person's estate in Pingshan Town for the emperor and his consorts to stay in.
The Nether Province guards had basically done the same. However, because the Ultramarine Province Emperor and his entourage had already occupied the best residence, they had no alternative but to make do with another large residence.
As a result, the solitary Crown Prince Mo decided to first get by for a night with his little lady at the inn.
When Crown Prince Mo turned around and saw Duan Yue hesitating to speak, he hugged the little ermine guardedly. "Whatcha want?"
Duan Yue rolled his eyes at him. "Stop fussing and go back with me."
