2551 But Come Back Shorn
Qiao Mu took advantage of the confusion to scatter a special powder that would particularly attract hornets on their bodies.
As a result… the coterie of noble ladies could care less about maintaining their composure as they bawled and wailed. They scurried through the garden like stray dogs to dodge getting bitten.
The maidservants all hastily formed human walls to protect their masters, but what use did that have?
Those hornets seemed to have zeroed in on the young ladies. For some reason, they actually detoured over the maidservants' heads and swarmed crazily toward Zhongli Zhiwei and the other girls.
Qiao Mu sat on a stone stool to the side and calmly watched as all hell broke loose.
When the prince consort hurried over to the garden, she saw the little fellow holding a cup of tea and watching the chaos unfold with indifference.
The Kang Prince Consort was completely stunned. Her heart fell back into place, and she strode over. "Qiaoqiao, what happened?"
"Imperial Aunt, I don't know what happened either? Everything was fine earlier, but when we walked to this point, that Miss Ji blindly bumped into a tree and 'coinicidentally' stirred up a hornet's nest."
"It is astonishing how the hornets are chasing down them relentlessly."
The Kang Prince Consort: …
Really!
Could you not be sipping tea while slowly recounting an extremely nerve-wracking incident?
It was so out of sorts…
Qiaoqiao blinked. She pointed at a woman who had run into a tree while fleeing from the hornets and said, "There, that's her. Evildoer Miss Ji."
The maidservants beside the Kang Prince Consort: …
*Boom!!* Zhongli Zhiwei guided earth spirit upward, and her hands did not stop moving. She summoned a flying sword from her conscious pool and directly swung at the swarm of hornets.
However, a bright light soon blinded her sight.
The swarm of hellfire venomous mosquitoes that sting at whomever they saw were even more terrifying. Zhongli Zhiwei and them had the feeling that they were just trying to court disaster.
The swarm of mosquitoes rushed out from the swarm of hornets.
They had set the hornets ablaze into a fireball.
An eerie fire shot out from the hornets' bodies and burnt them into a crisp.
The fire spread through the garden. The noble ladies' terrified screams finally drew over the servants in the forecourt.
While putting out the fire in the garden, they also had to first ensure the young ladies' safety.
Qiao Mu was sitting there nonchalantly and drinking tea. She also prepared a cup for the prince consort, but as the prince consort was a normal person, she naturally could not drink spiritual tea directly. Qiao Mu told the sapling to prepare another pot of imperial Longjing tea and only added one small spiritual tea leaf.
The prince consort's eyes brightened at the first sip. She couldn't stop praising the little fellow's tea.
Unfortunately for Madam Zhongli, this plum blossom-viewing banquet ended prematurely due to this chaos.
Many precious plum blossom species in the Garden of Elegance had been burnt until there was nothing left, yet no one knew that Lady Qiaoqiao had long taken advantage of the chaos to collect many rare plum blossom species.
She had come anyway, and you couldn't expect her to leave empty-handed. The young crown prince consort mused.
Qiao Mu steathily recalled the hellfire venomous mosquitoes wreaking destruction and supported the Kang Prince Consort as they walked out from the chaotic garden. They just so happened to meet Chen Baojia.
Qiaoqiao couldn't help furrowing her brows when she saw this woman.
