Chapter 4011: 4.1611 Caught Red-Handed

Thinking she could just get away like that?

Heh heh!

What a naive Qiao.

Mo Lian pursed his lips, then coldly glared at the Seven Flowers who had caught up before leaping out the window himself. His figure flashed, disappearing into the crowd.

The few people left in the room exchanged bewildered glances.

After running downstairs, Qiao Mu naturally planned to quickly sneak back to the Eastern Palace.

This way, the little one could flat-out deny ever leaving!

Hmph, she hadn't been caught red-handed by her husband anyway.

Having made up her mind, Lord Qiaoqiao summoned Heavenly Feather, hopped on, and floated leisurely into the sky, flying towards the Eastern Palace.

By now, the night had deepened. Besides the Spring Delights Pavilion, which was brightly lit and bustling with noise, the dimly lit streets were mostly deserted.

Heavenly Feather's flight speed could be fast or slow, controlled at will. At this moment, Lord Qiaoqiao was eager to return, so she naturally made it fly as fast as possible.

Just as she reached the palace gates, she saw brightly lit palace lanterns from afar, casting a brilliant glow.

Lord Qiaoqiao was initially unconcerned. After all, when she left the palace, no one dared to stop her.

Who would dare stop her now that she was returning?

But as Heavenly Feather flew closer, and she saw the tall, slender figure standing silently atop the dozens of feet high palace tower, it was too late to run!

She hastily turned Heavenly Feather, wanting to slip away...

Unexpectedly, a pulling force surged through the air, directly dragging her and the trembling Heavenly Feather back.

"Whoosh!" The little one was pulled back, her eyes darting around. Without a word, she was embraced.

The little Crown Princess remained still, blinking. She looked back at her husband, who was looking down at her with a slight smile. "Husband, someone attacked me just now!"

"Oh? And... did my wife see who it was that attacked you?"

The little deadpan shook her head repeatedly. "They were masked, and then they vanished in an instant! I suspect this person is very peculiar."

Mo Lian nodded, smiling warmly at her. He gently touched her little face with his finger. "Qiaoqiao."

Lord Qiaoqiao looked at him with a serious expression, feeling an inexplicable unease in her heart.

Her husband's gentle, spring-like demeanor was simply too unusual!

If he had angrily yelled at her, she would at least have some idea what to expect, but his current look... it was strange, truly strange!

"Qiaoqiao, do these clothes fit well?" Mo Lian chuckled, lightly tugging at her sleeve. "The sleeves are very long."

Qiao Mu quickly reached up to hug his neck, closed her eyes, and burrowed into his embrace. "Husband, it's very late. I want to sleep."

She heard her husband's low "Heh heh" by her ear. Lord Qiaoqiao just felt that no matter how she heard it, it sounded terribly unsettling.

"It seems my dear wife has too much energy," Mo Lian hooked his lips into a smile, carrying his wife as he floated down from the palace tower and leisurely walked towards the Eastern Palace.

Behind them, rows of imperial guards stood like background props, observing themselves discreetly, seeing no evil, speaking no evil.

Nothing happened tonight, okay!

The Crown Prince wasn't standing on the city tower waiting to catch the runaway Little Crown Princess.

No, no, no, the Little Crown Princess didn't run away at all!

Wuwuwu... They saw what they shouldn't have seen, knew what they shouldn't have known. Will they be silenced by the enraged Prince later?!

Qiao Mu had originally intended to feign sleep, but who knew...

She truly fell asleep!

When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She moved her small arms and legs, and her face immediately fell into a bitter expression.
