2438 Start by Winning the Crown Prince Consort's Favor
Could it be that the crown prince had left with the crown prince consort that day to seek treatment?
A spark of inspiration flashed through Eunuch Hu's mind, but he dared not dwell upon it. He quickly knelt down and saluted the crown prince consort respectfully. "This old servant Hu Dequan greets the crown prince consort."
Even if the emperor didn't recognize this daughter-in-law, it was obvious from the crown prince's attitude that he was very protective of her!
It was light punishment to be beaten for anyone who dared to even slight the crown prince consort. It was possible that anyone who held the crown prince consort in contempt, thus provoking His Highness the Crown Prince's wrath, would immediately get slain.
After all, those foolish palace maids' example was still fresh in their memory.
Hu Dequan was a shrewd person. Even though he still had doubts, he did not show it on his face at all. He was as courteous as could be to Qiao Mu.
Mo Lian's mood became better when he saw Hu Dequan's satisfactory behavior. He asked the latter, "Where is Fang Su?"
"Fang Su has gone out with his men again to search for Your Highness. This servant will send someone to call him back."
"He's been searching for me in South City?"
"Yes, yes. Fang Su has been searching for Your Highness within 50 kilometers of South City."
Was this guy an idiot? Mo Lian couldn't resist twitching his mouth.
He had freakin' run off to the icebound snow territory, yet this Fang Su actually persisted searching for him near South City for half a month.
It would be freaky if Fang Su did find him.
Besides, he had left while riding Little Seven that day. With Little Seven's speed, it was impossible for him to still be in the area.
Mo Lian: …
Were the people serving the emperor all idiots!?
The little fellow was leaning against him, so when she saw his queer expression, she couldn't resist asking sneakily, "Is he an idiot?"
Mo Lian: …
Eunuch Hu twitched his mouth.
How come he was feeling sorry for Fang Su? He had been busy for more than half a month, yet he didn't get any appreciation for it.
In truth, His Highness the Crown Prince might possibly also be disdaining his intelligence.
After 10 minutes, Fang Su hastily returned while wearing an extremely stern expression.
Only when he entered the residence and saw His Highness the Crown Prince drinking tea in the courtyard did his stern face ease up.
He couldn't help getting taken aback upon seeing the stoic-faced little lady sitting beside the crown prince.
This little lady had been lying quietly in bed half a month ago, looking neither dead nor alive.
She had recovered!
"How are we returning to the capital? Have you planned a suitable route?"
Fang Su was immediately invigorated. "Your Highness had been stopping frequently along the way to enjoy the sights. If we continue down this route, it will take at least one month or two."
"If we travel by the water route this humble official has charted through the Weixi Corridor, it will take only seven days," Fang Su explained eagerly.
Mo Lian creased his brows. "Is there anything fun to do in Weixi Corridor?"
"Weixi Corridor has gorgeous scenery while going along the river. Upon getting to the center of the river, the color of the river water turns pink. The crown prince consort will definitely like the view there," Fang Su answered woodenly.
For some reason, Fang Su felt that as long as Her Highness the Crown Prince Consort gave the go-ahead, the crown prince was certainly not going to object!
That was why Fang Su, with even himself not knowing why, started to introduce the crown prince consort to the delicacies and sights in Weixi Corridor…
This Greenwood Guard commander's behavior was amiss!
On the side, Eunuch Hu had been twitching his mouth continuously. He had long covered his face and hid to the side.
