Madam Luo, in the distance, had already fainted, foaming at the mouth and leaning against the target stand.
She was genuinely scared unconscious.
The reason was simple: the arrow that pierced the air from the Crown Prince, with its mighty whoosh, was truly astonishingly powerful.
For a moment, Madam Luo actually felt as if she was about to be shot through the head and killed.
How could she not be utterly terrified, scared to the point of fainting?
"Did you see that?" Mo Lian, with an indifferent expression, dropped the bow and arrow he was holding. He glanced coolly at the dumbfounded Prince Jialu. "Who said it was impossible?"
"That's because you're incapable."
Prince Jialu's dark face instantly flushed crimson.
This was truly the first time in his life that he, Prince Jialu, had been mocked as "incapable"!
This was unbearable. Jialu's eyes widened like brass bells, glaring furiously at Crown Prince Mo. "That, that's because I, I was injured earlier! You, you weren't injured, so of course you're stronger than me!"
"Oh?" Mo Lian swept a glance at the fellow, a hint of disdain curving his lips.
"Even if you were perfectly fine, and grew eight more hands and sixteen more legs, you wouldn't be qualified to be my opponent," he said coldly. Then, he raised a hand and said, "There's no need to delay. Your people have already been dealt with before they even broke in. You have nothing to hope for."
"What are you still standing there for? Do as the Crown Princess said."
Several Imperial Forest Guards immediately strode forward, once again dragging Prince Jialu like a dead pig, pulling him towards the outside of the courtyard.
Those tribesmen from the Barbarian Gang were all terrified, immediately kneeling on the ground, clasping their hands together and repeatedly bowing in supplication, "Please grant us your forgiveness. We didn't know that was Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess beforehand."
"Don't the people of Shenzhou have an old saying, 'Ignorance is no sin'?"
The people of the Barbarian Gang Tribe repeatedly kowtowed, their faces pale, crying, "Please forgive our Prince!"
Qiao Mu looked at them with cold eyes. "They certainly seem very pitiful."
"However, there is always something hateful about pitiful people," Qiao Mu said coldly.
Mo Lian scoffed even more, "Oh? Do you really not know the Crown Princess's identity?"
The faces of the Barbarian Gang Tribe instantly turned ashen, like paper. They looked at each other, their lips trembling, unable to utter a word.
This prince, whatever his name was, must have often seized civilian women by force. If she hadn't been present today, who knows if they would have directly kidnapped the Fifth Young Lady and left.
Of course, this was at the Mu family, so these people might not have been so bold, but given this barbarian prince's character, he might very well have come to offer gifts and concubines to vex people.
Prince Jialu was dragged out. As for his fate, Qiao Mu couldn't care less.
Mo Lian walked to her side, held her small hand, and looked down at his wife's expression.
Uh... it was alright! She didn't seem angry.
He raised a hand and stroked her small head. "Qiao Qiao, let's go for a walk, since we're idle anyway."
Qiao Mu couldn't help but find it a little amusing.
She knew Mo Lian was trying to take her for a walk to clear her head because he thought she was in a bad mood.
Actually, her mood was very calm...
To her, someone like Jialu was just a tiny fly.
Can a person get angry with a fly?
If you see a fly, you just swat it dead and that's it. It's not like you'd get so angry over a fly that you couldn't eat, right? Impossible!
She tilted her small head at him and nodded.
