Chapter 878 - Ill Help You (1/2)

Qiao Mu, being so bright and intelligent, couldn’t resist sucking in a breath after some ruminating. “The illness curse you got affected by last time? Was also something that you requested on your own? You applied the illness curse to yourself on purpose!”

Li Xiu’e shook her head. “That illness curse last time was something I purchased by chance in a talisman shop. At that time, I bought it for fun out of curiosity. I didn’t imagine that I would be able to put it to good use.”

“Since the crown prince consort can dispel that illness curse, then you are naturally an expert in this field! This humble girl beseeches the crown prince consort to bestow an illness curse! This humble girl begs of you, Crown Prince Consort.” Li Xiu’e suddenly lowered her head and heavily gave Qiao Mu a sound kowtow.

The three children turned their heads around from the window. When they saw Li Xiu’e acting like this, they couldn’t help but find it a bit strange.

However, very soon, their attention was once again attracted by the entertaining show on stage.

At the moment, a young male performer had led out a ferocious striped tiger onto the stage, drawing waves of gasps from the audience.

After studying Li Xiu’e for a moment, it was only then that Qiao Mu said with certainty, “During yesterday’s banquet, I heard Her Highness Consort Cheng mention that you have already been betrothed to her son, the eldest prince Mo Jiao. You think that they will give up on you after you use the illness curse?”

“Her Highness Consort Cheng won’t let her son marry a dying person.” Li Xiu’e’s eyes were crystal clear. “She won’t be able to accept that rotten luck!”

That was indeed the case. Qiao Mu nodded in agreement. Marrying a concubine should originally be a happy occasion, so no one would be willing to marry a half-dead concubine in case they also got tainted with bad luck.

“Other people all want to get married to a prince. Why aren’t you willing?”

Li Xiu’e spat in disgust, not concealing her distaste toward Mo Jiao in the least. “He already has so many concubines, so his body must be filthy and stinky. He simply doesn’t meet my standards!”
