2523 News of Situ Yi
Mo Lian walked up and grasped the little fellow’s pet.i.te hands. He glared coldly at the eunuch scrambling on the floor. He reprimanded, “Zhao Tengdong.”
“Yes, this servant is present. This servant is present.” Zhao Tengdong’s knees went weak from the crown prince’s harsh shout.
“What were you doing? How did you allow such a wicked servant to behave atrociously in the Eastern Palace? Does this crown prince need to teach you how to handle these matters?”
“Un, understood!” Zhao Tengdong hastily nodded and directed the two guards next to him. “Quick, quickly take him away.”
A sharp glint flitted across Zhao Tengdong’s eyes. He couldn’t help but sneer at this Junior Eunuch Li.
!!As a servant, how dare this person point at the crown prince consort and scold her for climbing all over other people? Exactly who was the one unwittingly climbing all over somebody?
“Drag him down!”
“Quell your anger, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Quell your anger, the crown prince consort!” Another voice came from outside the doors again.
The Imperial Household Department’s manager eunuch, Eunuch Li, had also come upon getting informed. His heart promptly jolted when he saw the situation in this court, and he hurried to give his greetings. “Your Highness the Crown Prince, quell your anger. This was all a misunderstanding. Xiao’Li’zi did not mean to offend the crown prince consort. The crown prince consort is benevolent and magnanimous. She surely will not lower herself to quarrel with a minor servant.”
What was this supposed to be?
This was laying a trap for Qiaoqiao.
If she punished this minor servant today, she wouldn’t be a benevolent and magnanimous crown prince consort.
Unfortunately, there was no use to laying traps.
Qiaoqiao was someone who did not go by the usual routine even from young…
Qiao Mu tugged her mouth expressionlessly. “Kill him.”
A shadow abruptly descended from the sky and cut Junior Eunuch Li’s neck without room for objection.
After killing someone, the person then turned around with a giggle as if nothing had happened, He genuflected on one knee and announced, “Huifeng greets Your Highnesses the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort.”
Mo Lian nodded. It was more handy to use his own people.
“Do you have any leads on where Yu Xiu and them ended up?” After seeing Huifeng, Mo Lian could not help but ask this question.
Ever since Yu Xiu as well as Situ Yi and them followed Qiaoqiao up to Shuntian Prefecture, they went completely missing. In Qiaoqiao’s words, they vanished like bubbles…
Lady Qiaoqiao looked over curiously. She asked quizzically, “Fire-Forging City?”
“No, Crown Prince Consort, it is Fire-Tempering City.” Huifeng felt that there was a need to fill in their crown prince consort on the basics. “There are four metropolises separate from the Three Provinces: the City of Light, the City of Shadow, Fire-Tempering City, and Icebound City.”
Qiao Mu gave an “oh,” and then that was it.
Huifeng couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. Was the crown prince consort not the least bit curious?
She didn’t want to know at all how her companions ended up in Fire-Tempering City and Icebound City, and what kind of fortuitous encounters they would have there?
The super-composed crown prince consort’s poker face was just too cute.
Mo Lian glanced at Huifeng. “Hand me a detailed report later.”
“Okay.” Huifeng drooped his head.
No wonder the crown prince consort was not anxious at all. Because she knew that after Crown Prince Mo finished going over the report, he would tell her in great detail everything without reservation.
Furthermore, since Huifeng said that they had fortuitous encounters, she didn’t need to worry at all. They must be doing well.
