Chapter 3510: 4.1110 Concern

Divine Continent Imperial Capital

Eastern Palace

Caixiu happily ran to report to her, "Crown Princess, a large batch of blank jade tablets has arrived from outside the palace. Should we go out and inspect them now?"

The Crown Prince had been gone for a while, and Qiao Mu was leaning glumly by the bed, absentmindedly flipping through a medical book, her mind clearly elsewhere.

Hearing Caixiu's voice, Lord Qiao Qiao lifted her small head. "Let's go take a look."

The arrival of 100,000 blank jade tablets was, naturally, excellent news.

Previously, she had drawn so many rune arrays in the lower star domain that her stock of jade tablets was completely depleted.

She had been waiting for these blank jade tablets for the past few days.

Caixiu chuckled and stepped forward, draping a coat over her, and then told Caiqi to arrange the carriage.

"The delivery of the jade tablets was stopped at the Imperial Palace's North Gate," Caixiu told Qiao Mu with a smile. "Crown Princess, it's perfect; you can take a walk over there and inspect them on the way."

The little Crown Princess had been silent for most of the day, cooped up by the window reading. Caixiu guessed she was already starting to miss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Caixiu thought of distracting the little Crown Princess to prevent her from overthinking, so she deliberately encouraged her to go out for a stroll.

"Liyue, Liyue," Caixiu called out twice.

Liyue suddenly appeared from the window like a ghost, jumping in, and expressionlessly looked at the little Crown Princess. "Subordinate here."

Caixiu's mouth twitched, then she cleared her throat and said, "Alright, the Crown Princess is going out. You come with us."

"Yes!" Liyue stood to the side, holding her sword.

When the little Crown Princess started to move, she followed, still holding her sword, silently trailing behind the others.

It was currently afternoon, and the sunlight was particularly dazzling today. The little Crown Princess couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly as soon as she stepped outside.

After getting into the carriage, she reclined on a soft cushion, holding a jar of walnut shortbread cookies, popping them into her mouth one by one.

"Lian and the others should be boarding the ship by now."

With the army's current mobilization, traveling by water with nearly 50,000 to 60,000 troops, their marching speed shouldn't be too fast.

Caixiu nodded emphatically and smiled, "Crown Princess, you needn't worry too much about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You gave His Highness so many elixirs and talismans before, and there are many pharmacists and alchemists with the army, not to mention a considerable number of special ability users. This trip should not be dangerous."

Qiao Mu nodded listlessly, handed the jar of shortbread cookies she was holding to Caiqi, and sat up cross-legged. "With this batch of jade talismans, I can draw some tonight and then go do proper business tomorrow."

Caixiu couldn't help but twitch her mouth.

She knew this little Crown Princess too well. The "proper business" the little Crown Princess referred to was definitely... something as serious as arson and murder.

She wondered which family had been so blind as to offend her this time.

Caixiu shook her head, then smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you won the competition at the Mu family earlier. I remember there was a prize for that."

The little Crown Princess had a look of sudden realization and immediately nodded. "Caixiu, thankfully you have a good memory; I completely forgot!"

"No problem, after we finish our proper business tomorrow, I'll make a trip back to the Mu family."

As they spoke, everyone had arrived at the Imperial Palace's North Gate. From a distance, they could see two horse-drawn carriages used for transporting goods parked there.

Every soldier guarding the gate recognized the famous little Crown Princess. Seeing her dismount and approach, they quickly straightened their uniforms and bowed respectfully.
