My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2575

2575 Wait and See
Eldest Madam Shi was ballistic.

How could she stand it when her second daughter, beautiful as a flower, had been beaten to this state?

This was intolerable!

So what if that person was the crown prince consort?

How could she beat her baby daughter to this state without rhyme or reason?

She had to go reason with her!
*Slap!* Family Head Shi gave Eldest Madam Shi a backhand slap. “Are you in the right mind yet?”

“How could you have the nerve to make a fuss! Go outside yourself and ask around! The Mu Clan is going to suffer badly! Yet you still dare to provoke the crown prince consort.”

“My lord, I just feel sorry for our daughter!”

“So what if you feel sorry? She was careless in her conduct, and she got beaten because that was exploited! If she behaved properly, how would the crown prince consort have taken advantage of this point? What reason could the crown prince consort have to whip her?”

“Don’t blame everyone and everything but yourself when you’re being dumb!” Family Head Shi waved his hand and hollered, “Alright! You’re prohibited from going anywhere!”

After Eldest Madam Shi ran away while weeping, the Shi Clan’s eldest son furrowed his brow and said, “Dad, is what’s happening to the Mu Clan true? Could the emperor have recognized the crown prince consort, so he is anxious to prove her identity? That way she can match up to His Highness the Crown Prince?”

Family Head Shi shook his head. “How are the thoughts of a ruler that easy to guess. We won’t do anything and will just wait and see.”

He paused and then said, “The emperor has remained low-key for so many years that many people have forgotten that his cultivation is beyond the divine realm. It is said that of the Heptacolor Guard, more than half of the Violetwood Guard are divine-realm experts. This is a very powerful squad known to the public. The number of hidden guards the emperor controls is probably innumerable! No one knows what realm they are at. If the Mu Clan truly does disobey the imperial decree, they will face thunderous wrath and fatal disaster.”

The Shi Clan’s eldest son gasped. He nodded anxiously.

“Even though the Mu Clan’s imperial edict is strange, it isn’t without any reason. The situation is hard to fathom at present, and the crown prince has yet to join the imperial court…” He lowered his voice. “Once His Highness the Crown Prince joins the imperial court, I fear the stormy situation will become even more unpredictable and tumultuous. We must be careful with every step we take.”

“I will listen to Dad.” The Shi Clan’s eldest son nodded. “We will just see what the Mu Clan does.”

“Your younger sister and your mom are unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything. Keep a close watch on those two idiots. You must remember not to let them cause any trouble.”

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, the emperor was brooding in his study. He had just snapped a writing brush.

Those brainless ignorant people. What kind of rumors were they now spreading!

He wished for nothing more than to have this young crown prince consort get out of Dragon Flame City right away. He didn’t want her to be a bad influence on his son!

It wouldn’t do. He had to assemble his advisors and discuss the third test topic as soon as possible. He had to make the young crown prince consort fail and unable to bear the consequences!

“Achoo!” Qiao Mu rubbed her bright red nose. She shrunk her petite head back from outside the window and wrapped her cape around her body tightly.

“Crown Prince Consort, a young master from the Mu Clan called Mu Xingchen is outside Chengqian Gate. He is requesting to see Your Highness.”

The young crown prince consort didn’t pay this any attention. She took out the Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron from her inner world and started research on pill-making.

It wasn’t until dusk when Mo Lian returned from the study that Qiaoqiao finished refining her last batch of pills. She put away the Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron and tossed a pill into her mouth. She chewed it like candy.

Mo Lian winked at her with a smile. “There’s a nice moon out tonight. Do you want to go out with Hubby for a stroll?”
