Chapter 2715
2715 Crown Prince Consort to Rescue the Situation
/Angry?/
She understood Mo Lian’s temperament the most. At least on the surface, everyone saw that this Crown Prince truly had a sense of propriety. He was gentle and refined, making people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
In order to strike terror into Palace Lady Jing’s heart and convey the Crown Prince’s furious rage, it appeared that Palace Lady Jing herself was seething with a deadly anger, her sword unsheathed.
...
“In the capacity of Crown Prince Consort, His Highness the Crown Prince intends to execute all the servants in Magnolia Court!” came the panicked report from Palace Lady Jing.
/Should news circulate that she had taken a life within the Crown Prince Consort’s lineage, it would undoubtedly tarnish her reputation!/
Urgently, Palace Lady Jing hastened to the Crown Prince Consort’s aid.
She had a premonition that solely the Crown Prince Consort could pacify the wrath of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Caught off guard, the young crown prince consort inquired, “What has occurred?”
Her words hardly left her lips before she was already on her way to the carriage, promptly boarding it.
Taking to horseback, Palace Lady Jing rode alongside the carriage. As she witnessed the young crown prince consort parting the curtains, she drew near and murmured, “Crown Prince Consort will be informed upon your return.”
Furrowing her brows, the young crown prince consort understood that discussing this matter openly wasn’t simple.
She nodded, instructing the carriage driver to hasten toward the Mu Estate.
Almost an hour had passed since the carriage had entered the Mu Estate.
Exiting the carriage, Qiao Mu promptly made her way toward Magnolia Court, accompanied by Palace Lady Jing and the retinue.
They nearly collided with Mu Qingya, Mu Rouxuan, and the others who were rushing over.
Mu Qingya acknowledged her with a nod and performed a curtsy. “The Crown Prince Consort has returned.”
The young crown prince consort cast her a fleeting glance before casually turning and making her way towards Magnolia Court.
Mu Rouxuan’s frustration was palpable, evident in the throbbing veins on her forehead. She grasped her mother’s arm and whispered, “Mother, why must you subject yourself to such grievances?”
Mu Qingya furrowed her brows and gently patted her daughter’s hand. “Distinctions exist between a subject and a ruler. By marrying into the royal family, she inherently upholds the honor of the dynasty. Certain formalities must not be overlooked.”
“But you’re her stepmother after all! What elder pays respects to the younger generation?” Mu Rouxuan scolded.
“Very well, let’s enter first and ascertain the situation.” Mu Qingya tugged her daughter along.
Having recently recovered from a severe illness, her complexion remained a touch pallid. However, upon hearing the Crown Prince’s commotion within Magnolia Court, she hurriedly made her way there.
It was, after all, her duty as the lady of the household to ensure the Crown Prince’s tranquility. She couldn’t evade this responsibility in any manner.
She needed to be present.
Mu Rouxuan felt a sense of stifling discomfort, clutching her mother’s hand as they proceeded into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu found herself impeded by Quilted Nanny Zhou and a few maids with disheveled hair.
Quilted Nanny Zhou and the elderly maids knelt on the ground, tears streaming as they repeatedly prostrated themselves before her. “Juxian and Meixian are at fault. This wrongdoing should not stain their reputations, blah, blah.”
Qiao Mu’s head throbbed, utterly perplexed by the situation.
Amidst the commotion, Crown Prince Mo emerged, attired in a cyan robe. He stood tall, reminiscent of the stature of pine and bamboo, his long hair cascading freely behind him. He seemed freshly bathed, with water droplets suspended in his hair like glistening pearls. They had not yet been dispelled by his fire spirit, evoking an air of natural elegance.
His striking countenance bore a chilling resolve, his phoenix-like eyes narrowing dangerously as he cast an icy survey upon his surroundings.
Upon spotting Qiao Mu, a moment of surprise flickered across his face, causing the venomous intensity in his gaze to soften.
/It seemed that post-bath, the Crown Prince’s handsomeness reached new heights. His features were akin to a picturesque masterpiece, radiating a jade-like allure. Truly, he was exceptionally handsome!/
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s eyes sparkled with delight, and she hastened her steps. She lunged into his waiting arms, nestling against his chest. “I’ve returned.”
