My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!
chapter-2437

2437 Returning to the City

Qiao Mu buried her small head in his chest. “You must have troubled them when you left without a word back then.”

Crown Prince Mo did not comment.

There was no trouble at all. His father had sent them to escort him back to the capital. They didn’t respect him and his wife that much.

Otherwise, that upsetting incident with the palace maids wouldn’t have occurred.

Mo Lian had told the little lady about that incident yesterday. He also talked about how when hundreds of ghosts had surrounded the residence in South City, a circle of white light appeared from her body and shattered the ghost spirits. He told the little fellow everything.

Qiao Mu expressed her alarm after hearing all of this.

So many things had happened while she was absent from her physical body. It was truly exhilarating.

However, the little one’s expression was evidently of one curiously listening to a story. Wasn’t she a bit too… unaffected?

Mo Lian couldn’t help but laugh. He caressed her cheek and murmured in her ear, “Qiaoqiao, you’re not allowed to go anywhere anymore. You can’t leave me again, okay?”

Qiao Mu couldn’t help but feel heartache when she saw the fatigue in his expression. He had been fearfully chasing her down during this period of time.

She nodded obediently. The little lady reached up to rub his chin. “We’ll go wherever you say.”

Mo Lian was in an excellent mood. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

They continued their journey for three to four more days, opting to travel through mountains and along rivers. They did not encounter any danger, with everything going smoothly.

They reached the vicinity of South City by evening of the fourth day. They got off Little Seven and switched to a low-key mystic horse, returning to South City without attracting attention.

Crown Prince Mo brought the little fellow to the residence they had been staying previously.

Sure enough, Hu Dequan really was waiting for them inside the residence.

When Hu Dequan saw the crown prince walk inside while holding a little lady’s hand, he originally thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

When he registered who it was, he immediately dashed forward and sobbed. It was like he had seen his direct ancestor.

Was this not his ancestor?

His Highness the Crown Prince’s absence had been tormenting Hu Dequan.

He had already decided to wait three more days. If he still didn’t see the crown prince then, he was going back to the capital with Fang Su to first make a report.

Even though he had sent news to the Divine Province Emperor several weeks ago that the crown prince had left by himself, he was still feeling unsettled. He decided to search for this willful crown prince nearby.

His Highness had clearly already arrived in the Divine Province, but who knew why he suddenly went nuts and ran off alone on his golden dragon. He just ditched everyone without saying a word.

Thus, they ended up just staring at each other in dismay. It could be said that all of them were worried and agitated during this period of wait.

“Your Highness.” Hu Dequan wiped his tears and said, “This servant has finally awaited your return.”

“Do you not see the crown prince consort?” Crown Prince Mo snapped.

Hu Dequan was so emotional that he had only seen the crown prince. He truly did not make out whom it was the crown prince was holding hands with.

Hu Dequan’s whole body shuddered when he heard the crown prince, and he turned to look at Qiao Mu in surprise.

The crown prince consort? The crown prince consort had disappeared together with His Highness the Crown Prince that day.

The last time he saw her, the crown prince had flown into a rage from how roughly the palace maids had been handling the crown prince consort.

He didn’t expect to see the crown prince consort, who had been lying sick in bed the whole time, actually be able to run and jump when he saw her again. She looked to be extremely healthy.
