My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257: A Roadblock

Unfortunately, none of the people in Qiao Mu’s party paid Commandery Princess Yi’an any attention. After they finished eating and had ample rest, they simply packed up their equipment and continued hiking deeper into Fu Mountain.

When Yi’an saw that none of them inquired about her possible injuries or how she was feeling after her scare, she couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

Soon, the Vassal Prince of An’nan cancelled their outing with the pretext that the commandery princess had suffered a scare, and he ordered everyone to head home by themselves.

While he himself escorted Commandery Princess Yi’an back to the palace with legitimate reason.

After that farce with the Vassal Prince of An’nan concluded, Qiao Mu’s party continued laughing and chatting on their hike before finally parting ways in the afternoon.

Qiao Mu, who had not slept well the night before, was tired by now.

So after boarding the carriage, she leaned against the crown prince for a pillow to take a short rest with closed eyes, but she didn’t expect that she would fall asleep so quickly.

Mo Lian stroked the back of her head before covering her abdomen with a blanket.

While on the side, the little monk was sprawled out on his back, snoring away after being tired out from a day’s play.

Mo Lian just had the carriage driver park on the side of the road to allow his Qiaoqiao to properly catch up on sleep.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu slept for a full two hours before waking up.

When she saw that the carriage she was in was still at the foot of Fu Mountain, she couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

“We haven’t left.”

“The carriage rocking will affect your sleep.” Mo Lian brushed away the locks of hair hanging in front of her cheeks. “I’ll send you back right now.”

Qiao Mu nodded as she gave a yawn. When she turned her head and saw the little monk sleeping sweetly while sprawled on his back, she couldn’t help finding it funny.

This little fellow had gotten tired out from the day’s events, so she’d let him keep sleeping for now.

The carriage driver exhaled before driving the carriage away from Fu Mountain towards the city district.

Mo Lian took out the pre-prepared tea and refreshments from the carriage compartment before feeding his wifey for a bit.

Suddenly, Qiao Mu thought of something and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Mo Lian, why do you think that Vassal Prince of An’nan planned such an episode? He wants to marry Commandery Princess Yi’an for his wife? He likes her?”

Mo Lian broke into a laugh. “What kind of like can exist between them? At most, mutual benefit.”

The little fellow pursed her lips. Yet just as she picked up her tea to take a sip, she felt the carriage halt.

The tea she had almost fed into her mouth nearly splashed out.

Next to her, the crown prince deftly grasped her small hand, helping her steady herself.

“What’s wrong.” The carriage driver’s skills were quite proficient. He was level-headed and usually didn’t drive the carriage so joltingly.

“Your Highness, it, it is…” That carriage driver’s voice contained hints of surprise and helplessness.

After reaching out to lift the curtain, Qiao Mu saw a carriage being forcibly obstructed in the middle of the bustling street.

The woman blocking the carriage with her hands on her hips, accompanied by four to five palace guards, was actually a bit familiar.

“Mo Lian, come and see quickly. Who is this? She looks a bit familiar.” Qiao Mu couldn’t resist tugging at his sleeve.

When Crown Prince Mo stuck his head next to hers and looked out, his expression basically darkened at once.

Qiao Mu couldn’t help but inquire curiously when she witnessed his instant change in expression, “Who is this person?”

This woman blocking the middle of the street was precisely the fourth princess Mo Shuang!

She had simply abandoned the royal family’s dignity! With a darkened expression, Mo Lian reached out for the curtain to alight from the carriage.
