Chapter 627 - : Hatching a Plan (1/2)

“Second Brother, that dimwit, truly thought that he could capture him. Regardless, Second Brother is casting off all the blame on this Ding Tingding now, arguing with conviction in front of Royal Father that the letters are Ding Tingding’s mischief. However, how could his handwriting be forged.”

“Your father is so muddleheaded that it’s possible that he’ll believe it.” Qiao Mu pursed her lips grumpily.

The crown prince kissed her small face with a grin. “Good darling, don’t be so unbelieving. My muddleheaded dad is rather competent at dealing with major issues of principle.”

Qiao Mu merely declined to comment.

As the two people held hands while walking to the dining table, Shaoyao cut in, saying indignantly, “Miss, this servant heard that Consort Zheng fell ill from anger, but she still kept clamoring persistently in a daze that Miss was the one who infuriated her so much that her chest hurt.”

While rolling her eyes at the news, Qiao Mu picked up her spoon and drank two mouthfuls of porridge. “Such boring gimmicks, indeed. Didn’t the king order her to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion? Then why would news still travel out. How could this be considered seclusion, and what mistakes is she reflecting on.”

“That’s right.” The crown prince nodded immediately, fully supporting his wife. “Someone, send some more people over to heavily guard Consort Zheng’s Sophora Flower Palace. If more false news travels out without end, We will hold you solely responsible!”

“Such a light punishment of reflecting on her mistakes in seclusion, how fortunate is it that your muddleheaded father was the one who punished her!” Qiao Mu was slightly fuming again as they discussed the topic.

Shaoyao had already grown accustomed to her Miss’s tone of voice, but that didn’t mean the royal maids on the side were.

Who had ever criticized the king in front of the crown prince? The crown prince consort indeed had shocking guts.

However, the crown prince and Sister Shaoyao’s expressions were both boundlessly tranquil and rather unperturbed.

Clearly, the crown prince consort was used to speaking without a filter in front of the crown prince.

The group of junior royal maids were all people who acted according to the circ.u.mstances. They silently admonished themselves to shut their mouths and lower their heads and eyes, not daring to speak unnecessarily.
