My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1542
Chapter 1542: Sovereign Power
“Shu Quan already has no other wish in this life. Today, I will bring my three children far away from the Mo Kingdom capital to a village in the countryside to live out the rest of my years.” The eldest prince consort bowed toward Qiao Mu in salute again with her three children.
“Shu Quan will absolutely not cause trouble for the crown prince consort. Please rest assured.”
Qiao Mu nodded and handed her a pouch of mystic currency. “Bring away those things in the coffin. Take care of the children in the future and never return to the capital.”
“Yes.”
Qiao Mu nodded slightly and beckoned for Haitang to leave with her without another word.
Shu Quan embraced her three children tightly and gazed at Qiao Mu’s back in gratitude.
She had one son and two daughters. The eldest daughter was only ten, while the youngest daughter was only seven.

They were at the age when they were like budding flowers. She naturally could not let them lose their lives because of the eldest prince’s foolishness.
“Cheng’er, let’s go.” Shu Quan tugged at her eight-year-old son’s arm.
However, the boy clenched his fist, unexpectedly flinging away her hand. He shouted at Shu Quan, “Mom, where are you bringing us? Why do we have to flee?”
“Do not ask any more.” Shu Quan muffled her son’s noisy protests with her hand and held back her tears with great difficulty. “Child, from now on, we four people will be depending on each other for survival. Our lives will not necessarily be worse than before.”
“How could it be better than before?” Although Mo Cheng was young, he was very astute. “Mom, everything they said before were all lies, right? Dad didn’t plot rebellion at all, right?”
“Wrong, your dad colluded with the Vassal King of An’nan and the Shu Family to force the king’s abdication. They engaged in a conspiracy to rise in rebellion. This is the established truth.” An icy voice came from the trees.
“Royal Father has already ordered that concerning the Vassal King and Vassal Prince of An’nan instigating treason, the Vassal King of An’nan will be stripped of his title, and all his relatives will be executed as punishment. As for Eldest Royal Brother and the Shu Estate, all branches of the family have been implicated. Even though the servants are spared from death, they have been banished to the Western Wilderness.”
“These are the sins that the Vassal King of An’nan and the eldest prince have committed!”
The apathetic voice could be heard clearly once again.
Shu Quan’s body jolted as she turned around in terror.
She saw the crown prince who was dressed in ink-colored formal attire. A fan-shaped jade pendant was hanging from a blue-green ribbon with a black dragon design that was tied to his waist.
His jet-black hair was tied up, and an imposing air emanated from him limitlessly as he stood there. It made people practically unable to raise their heads.
Shu Quan was unbelievably panicked, and she quickly clutched her three children as she urged them, “Quick, quickly greet your royal uncle.”
Her two daughters hastily knelt down in greeting, but the eldest prince’s son Mo Cheng, young as he was, was already assuming the demeanor that one could not yield to might. Raising his head and pressing his lips tightly together, he stubbornly stood there without moving.
“I do not salute my enemy!”
Shu Quan was both anxious and angry. She was anxious that her son was speaking without understanding the gravity of the situation, and she was angry that Consort Cheng had cultivated such an arrogant temper in her son after keeping him by her side.
He simply couldn’t be more foolish for daring to be so stupid at this critical juncture of life and death!
“Eldest Sister-in-Law, you are an intelligent person.” This woman actually knew to seek the crown prince consort for help early on.
People who didn’t usually interact with the crown prince consort had no idea that this little fellow was actually a cold-faced but warmhearted person who attached great importance to promises.
Most normal people would beat a retreat after seeing the young crown prince consort’s cold face.
Yet Shu Quan knew to take this dangerous risk!
