Chapter 2662
2662 The Crown Prince Consort Is Very Busy!
“The crown prince consort is not so free to hear your unreasonable and long-winded bickering.”
Everybody couldn’t help but lampoon in their minds when they heard the crown prince’s retort.
What exactly was Her Highness the Crown Prince Consort busy with? What could she be busy with just after returning to the Mu Clan?
...
Saying she was not so free…
As a little lady, the most she could do after returning to the Mu Clan was to cultivate. What could she be busy with!?
That elder in brocade robes, also the principal guardian of the Lunisolar Shrine, had a headache right now.
If His Highness the Crown Prince insisted on denying the Holy Daughter’s release, it was evident from today’s circumstances that the emperor was certainly not going to act contrary to the crown prince’s wishes.
He couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
He respectfully bowed toward His Highness the Crown Prince and used his most cordial attitude and tone of voice to say, “We hope that Your Highness can permit the Holy Daughter’s release. The Lunisolar Shrine is beseeching you with utmost sincerity.”
This entreaty that made him lower his pride was already the principal guardian’s bottom line.
He could not think of any other way to implore this crown prince to relent.
Since it was not possible to accomplish their objective through the crown prince, then it was best to meet the crown prince consort and go from there.
He had no other requests right now. As long as their shrine’s Holy Daughter could be released, he could basically agree to any reasonable conditions.
Mo Lian’s gaze swept over this principal guardian’s face without a hint of warmth. He scoffed.
For an instant, the elder in brocade robes felt something pressing down on his chest. He couldn’t breathe.
After a while, he saw the crown prince raise his hand, and a violet figure turned around and left the audience hall.
This principal guardian of the Lunisolar Shrine looked at the crown prince with a complex gaze. His heart couldn’t help but tense up.
Even though this crown prince who had just returned to the great Divine Province had not lived here for a long time, his presence and might as a person in power made people’s hearts shiver from fright.
—-Mu Qiao’s section break—-
“Caixiu, I’ve returned.” The young crown prince consort was in a rather good mood after returning to Magnolia Court from True North Garden.
When they heard her voice, Caixiu and Caiqi quickly ran out from the side room.
“You have returned, Crown Prince Consort.”
Caixiu couldn’t hide her worry as she examined Qiao Mu.
They had already heard just now that the young crown prince consort had gotten into a conflict at Wind Chasing Court with all the Mu Clan disciples. They were worried and had just dispatched someone over to take a look. They didn’t expect for the young crown prince consort to be returning so quickly.
Caiqi was holding a plate of pastries, and she said to Qiao Mu with a delighted smile, “Crown Prince Consort, you have returned just in time! These pastries are just out of the oven. Would you like to try a piece?”
The young crown prince consort’s eyes curved. Just as she was about to nod and agree, her expression drastically changed. She shouted at the two of them, “Get down!”
Caiqi and Caixiu were both startled, but they squatted reflexively. They felt something rushing over their heads.
It was accompanied by a ferocious howl.
The plate that Caixiu was holding shattered on the floor.
The thing that had pounced over turned its head. Its blood-red eyes were tinged with bloodlust as they stared at the shuddering Caiqi.
Before that fellow could move, Qiao Mu had already charged over. She had summoned the ferule and shot over a blue spiritual purifying fire without room for objection.
The raging fire enveloped that pouncing figure.
Piercing screams resounded in everyone’s ears.
Caixiu and Caiqi lay on the ground while hugging their heads. They could not hide the terror in their eyes as they turned their heads around.
