My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 977

Chapter 977: Ill Feeling

Previously, Mo Lian had Morning Sunlight Pavilion’s people gather a batch of mystic beast cores and send it over. Sure enough, after feeding them to the little white squirrel, it greatly benefited its body.

Presently, the little chubby squirrel had grown one size bigger than before, and its large tail had also gotten longer.

Perhaps after feeding it some more mystic beast cores, it’ll be able to wake up!

As she thought of this, Qiao Mu’s mood couldn’t help but improve.

After the two huddled together and chatted for a while longer, someone from the palace came in the afternoon to request for Mo Lian’s return.

Subsequently, Shaoyao stayed by Qiao Mu’s bedside to take care of her.

Due to her languid energy, Qiao Mu took a nap, and by the time she woke up, it was already evening.

Qiao Mu only felt dizzy in her dazed state. After getting up and taking a quick bite, she laid down to sleep again.

She had no idea that after she fell into a deep slumber, the moon-shaped jade pendant around her neck kept glowing faintly.

For these two days, Qiao Mu just kept eating and sleeping, switching back and forth between a half-dreaming and half-awake state.

It was only after a full two days that she felt her head wasn’t hurting as much anymore, and she also recovered a bit of her energy.

When she got up from bed early in the morning, it even gave Shaoyao a big fright.

“Miss! Why have you gotten up.”

“I’ve been lying down for two days already. It’s high time for me to get up and move about now,” Qiao Mu sighed. After carelessly wiping her small face, she tossed the washcloth into the water basin.

“That is rather so.” Agreeing with a nod, Shaoyao then said, “Since Miss can finally get up and walk, I’ll go share this good news with Madam and Master.”

“Go then.” Qiao Mu nodded. “Oh, ready the carriage too. I want to go out for some fresh air.”

She was almost stifled to death from languishing at home!

After boarding the carriage, she had Shaoyao specially raise up the curtains slightly so that she could breathe in the cold wind outside.

“Miss, it’s cold outside today. You might catch a cold.” Yet Shaoyao draped a fur coat around her worriedly.

Qiao Mu couldn’t help but chuckle.

She knew her own body the best, afterall. There was nothing wrong with it at all. She was only a bit fatigued because someone had tried to displace her soul.

However, she reckoned that she would be able to recover completely after recuperating for one or two more days.

“These two days, it hasn’t been too peaceful inside our Guanlan City.” Shaoyao pursed her lips in contempt as she explained, “You can see very large mice and ants everywhere on the streets. They say that it’s because there’s a problem with the Great Sea Monastery’s Pacification Pagoda.”

“There’s also been a rumor going about, saying that a witch has come into the world, so disaster will befall from heaven.”

“These few days, His Highness the Crown Prince has been busy curbing the rumors in the capital.” Shaoyao turned to look at Qiao Mu with a giggle. “Do you want to enter the palace to see His Highness?”

Qiao Mu gave a start, but then she shook her head disinterestedly. “I only wanted to come out for some fresh air.”

“Oh.” Just now, Shaoyao clearly caught sight of the revulsion that swirled for an instant in the depths of the crown prince consort’s eyes.

This was a revulsion she had for the deep palace.

Sigh! Shaoyao heaved a long sigh. It seemed like it would be very difficult for the crown prince consort to enter the palace most willingly after that incident during the Lantern Festival.

“Oh, that’s right, that Priest Dayu.” Qiao Mu creased her brows as she inquired, “Did they find him yet?”

She kept feeling that there was something fishy with this person. It seemed like he harbored a great enmity toward her.

But she didn’t know him at all.

“They weren’t able to find him even after searching through the entire city, so he probably escaped.” Shaoyao also creased her brows.

His Highness the Crown Prince had sent out a lot of people for this search, after all.
