My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 619
Chapter 619: I Have Evidence
“How could I not hold back a trick or two against you bunch of demons and monsters? Could it be that you two truly believe that I don’t have evidence, and would let you both make wild charges in front of the king to implicate others?” As soon as Handsome Fairness Huang heard Qiao Mu’s impassive voice, she couldn’t resist trembling all over.
She cast a panicked glance at Noble Consort Zheng, but was given a glare instead.
You better keep your cool and not be swayed by a little girl’s few words! Noble Consort Zheng’s incisive gaze swept over Handsome Fairness Huang as she thought: What kind of concrete evidence could a d*mn little girl take out?
“Perhaps, you never knew that something called a listening talisman exists in this world.” Qiao Mu’s fingers flipped over, revealing an unassuming white jade tablet the width of three fingers.
“I’ll let you all listen to what you said to me earlier.” As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking coldly, Handsome Fairness Huang’s entire body instantly went limp, as if someone had sucked out all the strength in her body.
What, what kind of person was this crown prince consort exactly. How did she think so meticulously and not leave her any way out at all?
Qiao Mu was not the one who drew this jade listening talisman. Especially since it was not possible for her to draw runes on jade tablets with her current talisman energy.
Of course, even if she learned how to create a jade listening talisman, with her pragmatic nature of refusing to engage in nonsensical matters, she probably wouldn’t draw such an utterly useless talisman.
This extremely rare jade talisman was precisely what she had coincidentally found inside a talisman shop in Anshan Town back when she and her family escaped from the village.
She had tossed it to a corner of Paradise Planet all this time and would occasionally retrieve it to study it.
It wasn’t until the Golden Talisman Jade Tome’s fourth jade slip had triggered that she vaguely realized that this jade tablet was very possibly a jade talisman that had been sealed by a special talisman energy.
The talisman master that had drawn this jade talisman had extremely profound talisman energy.
Only after using her own talisman energy to activate the talisman, on top of spending a bit of effort to experiment with it multiple times after that, did she figure out that this was probably a very rarely seen jade listening talisman.
The jade talisman had even recorded a phrase. Of course, she naturally erased the recording after memorizing it. Now, she was already able to use this jade listening talisman freely.
This kind of talisman would normally have been sold to the noble and wealthy.
The legends said that there once was an aristocrat who liked a courtesan’s singing voice very much, so he bought ten jade listening talismans and had that courtesan sing while playing the zither, filling each jade talisman with that woman’s voice.
Thereupon, that aristocrat would excitedly hide somewhere alone every day and silently listen to that woman’s singing and music, intoxicated by it day in and out.
In the end, his ferocious wife found out, and she immediately ordered more than a hundred servants to smash the courtesan house that song courtesan belonged to into smithereens. She even dragged her out and beat her up violently in the middle of the street. From then on, that courtesan was disfigured so much that even her parents wouldn’t recognize her, and so on and so forth…
Other than that, there really wasn’t much practical use for a jade listening talisman.
But in reality, it could still be useful every once in a while, like right now.
Qiao Mu’s finger swiped lightly across the jade talisman, and the level-12 mystic cultivator’s suffering voice could be heard from it: ‘I-It was the Classics Reverence Chamber’s H-Handsome Fairness Huang’s personal nanny who contacted me. S-She had me first capture the Qiao Family’s Madam and Second Miss, t-then think of a way to send them out of the capital, a-and find a place to sell them.’
The fury in Mo Lian’s eyes surged forth, and he kicked Handsome Fairness Huang. “What do you still have to say?”
Soon, Handsome Fairness Huang’s quavering voice rang out. “It was instructed by Her Highness the Noble Consort. I, an insignificant Handsome Fairness, didn’t dare to disobey!”
