Chapter 3701: 4.1301 Don't Want to Deal With It

"Qiao Qiao, don't upset yourself over some dead people," Mo Lian said, looking down at her, displeased. "If you're so angry, I'll just order the annihilation of the Long family in the Imperial Capital. Such a small matter isn't worth you getting this worked up."

Lord Qiao Qiao felt a suffocating tightness in her chest, and a burning sensation within her chest seemed to make her whole body's blood boil.

"Not every merman has a merman pearl. Even among hundreds of thousands of merfolk, there might not be a single pearl."

"I know." Mo Lian looked down at the little girl with reddened eyes, saying softly and helplessly, "But not everyone is as smart as my Qiao Qiao. There are so many fools in this world, aren't they all just there to highlight my Qiao Qiao's supreme intelligence?"

Lord Qiao Qiao blinked her big eyes, sniffed her small nose, and lightly hit him. "I'm furious!" She was furious that these merfolk were always being abused so terribly. She had given them knives, given them opportunities, but they still didn't dare to fight back.

"Alright, alright, my Qiao Qiao, what's there to be so angry about?" Mo Lian turned towards Long Min, the warmth in his eyes slowly extinguishing as he looked at her.

With a cold, indifferent voice, he said, "Just make them disappear."

Long Min seemed to understand something, and a shiver ran through her body as she looked at the Crown Prince's eyes.

"By my command, the Long family has brought a large number of foreign personnel into the capital without imperial permission and without completing any procedures! They concealed this from the Jingzhao Prefecture, harboring ill intentions. Fearing treachery, all of them are now to be detained and strictly guarded! I order the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Prefecture to jointly oversee this case and thoroughly investigate the truth."

"Yes!" A large contingent of Purple Forest Guards swarmed in from all directions, hundreds of long swords and thousands of long blades encircling the Long family members present.

Seeing themselves surrounded by such a large force, the Long family had no means to resist. One by one, they raised their hands in surrender, their faces pale as they looked at the soldiers around them.

"Where should these people be placed?" Mo Lian lightly nodded, pointing towards the merfolk.

The little Crown Princess had a poker face, angrily pouting, "I don't want to deal with it."

The Crown Prince was somewhat speechless. He was incredibly intelligent and knew that his little wife was just in a fit of pique. If he truly ignored these people and simply drove them out of the city to fend for themselves, his little wife would definitely regret it later.

He chuckled as he embraced his wife, saying softly and gently, "Then I'll temporarily house them in a nearby villa. How about you go see them when you're in a better mood?"

"No."

"Alright, alright, no, no!" Mo Lian lowered his head and rubbed it against her small head, grumbling, "A bunch of weaklings, not even a few drops of blood if you kill them, and they'll just dirty Qiao Qiao's little hands. Let them fend for themselves in the villa!"

The little one puffed out her cheeks and angrily turned her small face away.

Mo Lian turned his head and looked towards the merfolk. He waved his hand at Xiaoye, who had bounced over, saying, "There's a small villa nearby, you know where it is. Arrange for them to stay there for now."

"Understood, Your Highness."

Qiao Mu, still fuming, didn't turn to look at the merfolk. Suddenly, she felt a slight coolness on her leg. She looked down to see a little merman, only three or four years old, who couldn't even swim steadily, clinging to her leg.
