Chapter 690: Delusional
āā¦ā
Crown Prince the Great?
After calling him three times, the crown prince still didnāt react much and just kept smilingā¦
On the side, Huifeng twitched his mouth before coughing lightly. āUh, Assistant Minister, you go prepare first. Our Highness will head over in a bit.ā
āYes, yes.ā The Assistant Minister of the Highest Judiciary hastily excused himself.
Huifeng couldnāt resist facepalming.
It was over, his master had turned silly from the crown prince consortās flirting.
The Assistant Minister of the Highest Judiciary didnāt see it, but from his angle, he could see that the tips of his masterās ears had turned redā¦
Sigh, life really was full of hardship. The crown prince consortās casual tease was enough to make my crown princeās soul leave his body!
āYour Highness.ā
Cough, donāt stand at the head of the stairs and laugh yourself silly.
āThe assistant minister invites you over to drink tea.ā Huifeng had no other choice but to poke the crown prince.
Mo Lian gradually recovered his wits, blinking his phoenix eyes. āWhereās Qiaoqiao.ā
Huifeng almost missed his footing and nearly rolled down the stairs.
The crown prince consort that had left after flirting simply didnāt know that her one sentence had teased the man silly.
Under the jailerās lead, she arrived at the door of a single prison cell.
This kind of prison cell that was designed to lock up mystic cultivators was comparatively advanced. The door was even secured with an additional confinement talisman matrix.
It was simply impossible for normal mystic cultivators, cuffed with the specially-made fetters and manacles, to escape from this prison that was filled with confinement talisman matrices.
However, it was reportedly par for course for Ding Tingding to escape from prison. Even if you set up 17 to 18 talisman matrices, it was merely a matter of minutes for him to escape.
The two adjacent prison cells were empty, while the person locked up inside this center cell was precisely Wu Xiaosu.
The jailer brought Qiao Mu to the door, and after she gestured to him with her eyes, he opened the door for her and tactfully retreated far away outside.
Qiao Mu stepped through the doorway, and her gaze landed on Wu Xiaosu, who was huddling in the corner.
Wu Xiaosu raised her head upon hearing the sound of footsteps. Upon discerning that the person standing against the light was precisely Qiao Mu, she immediately glowered and pounced at Qiao Mu like a starving tiger.
Yet just as she was only a few steps away from Qiao Mu, her body halted, abruptly pulled back by two chains.
Both her arms had been firmly bound by iron shackles secured to the wall, so she could only bare her teeth and brandish her claws at Qiao Mu from a distance away.
āI had originally been unable to understand why you had to approach our Qiao Family time and again.ā Qiao Mu stood before Wu Xiaosu and gazed indifferently at her.
Later on, the crown prince had secretly told her that the royal maid who attempted to poison her during the small banquet had a brief contact with the Vassal King Consort of Anānan.
Her objective was already very clear.
The Vassal King Consort of Anānan wanted to avenge her good daughter, Commandery Princess Huiāan, and wipe out her humiliation.
āThe Vassal King Consort of Anānan, Wu Hongmo, is your aunt, right.ā Qiao Mu declared coldly.
Wu Hongmo had designs on her starting from the day of the small banquet.
She truly was a delusional woman.
She wanted to feed her a slow-acting poison, letting her die unwittingly, without making a splash, so that it wouldnāt draw the crown princeās suspicion.
This kind of poisoning tactic was crude and simple. Truthfully speaking, if she were successful, it could be considered a good plan.
It was only unfortunate for her that even after making meticulous calculations, she left out the possibility that Qiao Mu would also be versed in poison, having read through countless poison classics. For other people, this kind of slow-acting poison might be fairly covert and undetectable, but to Qiao Mu, it truly was too commonly seen.
As for Wu Xiaosu, she was under Wu Hongmoās orders to fake her sincerity and get close to the Qiao Family. This was so that she could gain their trust and find an opportunity to continue feeding Qiao Mu the slow-acting poison.
It was only unfortunate that Second Miss Qiao had disliked her from the beginning, let alone her sister, who was as cold as frost. Eldest Miss Qiao was so difficult to approach that she didnāt have a chance at all.
