Chapter 4004: 4.1604 The Crown Princess Ran Away...

Cai Xiu's lips twitched. With great difficulty and a peculiar expression, she tried her best to dissuade her little mistress from this strange idea.

"Crown Princess, that Ganoderma soup we made last time, its effects were absolutely amazing! While it might not have looked great, it was actually very effective."

After just one bowl of that Ganoderma nourishing soup, the Crown Prince was so devastated he didn't want to eat for three days. She felt incredibly sorry for the Crown Prince...

"Even such good soup shouldn't be consumed too often by His Highness."

"Didn't you hear the old saying! It's 'too much supplement for a weak body'…"

"Is the Crown Prince weak??" Qiao Mu looked startled.

"Pfft… Uh, no, it's that one shouldn't over-supplement, right?" Cai Xiu tried her best to clarify the meaning of her words.

Seeing the little Crown Princess furrow her brow, she suddenly forced a change of topic. "Ah, by the way, I heard it's quite lively in the city tonight."

"The largest Spring Delights Pavilion in the city is said to be hosting a Spring Delights event tonight…"

After Cai Xiu finished speaking, she couldn't help but silently shed tears.

Good heavens, why did she have to bring up such a sensitive topic!

The Crown Prince had seemingly warned them earlier not to mention the words "Spring Delights Pavilion" in front of the little Crown Princess again!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the little Crown Princess's eyes subtly brightened.

"That idiot Mu Dongni mentioned it yesterday too!"

Cai Xiu silently shed tears, forcing a smile. "Actually, there's nothing much to see! It's just a few flamboyant men, dancing and singing and such!"

The little palace maids passing by: ...

Sister Cai Xiu saying that only made the little Crown Princess even more curious, didn't it?

"Oh right, Crown Princess, aren't you still going to cultivate? I won't delay you any longer! This servant will escort you back to your room."

Qiao Mu nodded expressionlessly, then suddenly asked, "Were you in my room this afternoon?"

"Yes, I was."

"What was I doing?"

"You were cultivating!" Cai Xiu twitched her lips, then suddenly said loudly, "Very diligently!"

Qiao Mu nodded, clutching her small paws behind her back, continuing to walk forward without much expression: That's right, how could she possibly fall asleep while cultivating? She had always been cultivating diligently!

A short while after dinner, the Crown Prince was urgently summoned to the study by the Emperor.

The little Crown Princess, having nothing to do, sat at a small table flipping through a book. After a while, she suddenly tossed the book aside, her eyes darting around.

She ran to a cabinet next to the bedchamber, rummaging through it until she found a set of treasured sapphire-blue clothes from the bottom.

She tried them on, and they fit her small frame perfectly.

These must have been Mo Lian's clothes from his youth. By tucking in the sleeves, she could just about wear them.

After changing, the little one tied her hair into a ponytail and casually found a small jade crown to secure it.

Then, she stealthily slipped out of the Eastern Palace.

Before doing all this, the little one, like a guilty thief, secretly shielded the star domain…

However, the moment she moved, several hidden guards in the shadows followed her.

Lord Qiaoqiao exited the Eastern Palace and summoned Heavenly Feather, jumping onto it and gliding out of the palace.

Mo Lian was still in His Majesty's imperial study, discussing the outbreak and spread of the corpse puppets in the outskirts of Licheng.

Suddenly, he received an urgent message from Ao Ye: "Help, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has run away!"

This confounded idiot!

Mo Lian twitched his lips, elegantly closed the scroll with one hand, and waved to his imperial father, "My wife is calling me back. Let's talk again tomorrow morning."
