Chapter 3463: 4.1063 Implication

"You won't feel dry mouth or excessive internal heat again."

"How did you know..." Empress Dowager Meng had barely spoken half a sentence before she seemed to realize something, quickly closing her mouth and giving a sheepish smile to Empress Zhao, whose gaze had fallen upon her.

Empress Zhao was both exasperated and amused. The old lady was like an old mischievous child, always secretly deceiving them, and disliking medicine when ill!

"What could possibly be wrong with me? It's not boasting, but I feel strong enough to climb a mountain and fight a tiger right now!"

Crown Prince Mo rolled his eyes exasperatedly. He took a few steps forward and gently pressed the restless old lady back onto the bed. "Grandmother, just listen to Qiao Qiao. Rest well for a while, and recuperate according to Qiao Qiao's prescription before doing anything else."

The old lady made a pained little expression, as if bravely going to her death, and reluctantly nodded.

Making her drink that bitter medicine every day was truly going to be the death of her...

Qiao Mu finished treating and bandaging her arm bone, gently tucked in her quilt, and then said seriously, "Grandmother, you rest well. Later, I'll make you two bottles of candy beans for you to eat one a day. I guarantee you'll love them."

Mo Lian: ...

Qiao Qiao's coaxing-a-child demeanor was truly amusing.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard about tasty candy beans. "Don't you worry, I'm a person with self-control. If you tell me to follow the prescription, I'll certainly obey the doctor's orders."

Feng Gu pursed her lips, not exposing her Empress Dowager.

Qiao Mu nodded. "That's good then, Grandmother. You should rest well for now."

"Eh, Qiao Qiao, you just got back and you're leaving already?"

"We'll be staying here these two days, don't worry. Once you're a bit better, we can chat."

Only then did the Empress Dowager relax, nodding repeatedly. "Good, good."

Empress Zhao felt a bit perplexed. She glanced at the Empress Dowager, then at Lady Qiao Qiao, thinking to herself: The little Crown Princess says she wants to chat with her mother-in-law, but with her personality, where she runs out of things to say after only three sentences, I wonder how she'll manage to awkwardly chat with someone...

Qiao Mu, sensing something, glanced at Empress Zhao, then stood up expressionlessly. "Father-King, Mother-Empress, let's go out first."

The Eldest King, seeing that the Empress Dowager was fine, naturally felt relieved. Hearing this, he meekly nodded and quickly followed his son out of the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.

"Son, what exactly happened?"

"It's a long story. Let's go to the study to talk."

The Eldest King nodded upon hearing this and turned with Mo Lian to head to the study, still asking worriedly along the way, "Will these people come again?"

Please don't come again!

Just one visit almost cost him his life. If those people from the Divine Land could freely come to their small star domain, wouldn't that mean...

They'd suffer misfortune every few days!

Mo Lian looked at the disarray throughout the garden, his expression turning grim. He shook his head and said, "No, they won't, Father-King, you don't need to worry."

The Eldest King had always known his son was very reliable.

Whatever he said, the Eldest King trusted him a thousand, a million times over.

The father and son went to the study to discuss the full story.

Qiao Mu, meanwhile, accompanied Empress Zhao to sit in the garden.

"Mother-Empress, let me see the bruises on your hand."

Empress Zhao was startled, then smiled and extended her hand. "Mother is fine."

Qiao Mu rolled up her sleeve and, while applying medicine, whispered, "This whole matter started because of me. You were implicated."
