Chapter 4014: 4.1614 The Consequences of Offending the Crown Prince

How did this master return so quickly?

Didn't he run into Miss Chen halfway?

Mama Zhao inwardly groaned, secretly cursing Miss Chen for being inefficient and not even being able to delay a man.

Now, things were truly difficult to manage.

Mama Zhao quickly put on a fawning smile. "It was our transgression, your humble servants. We deserve death, for being so impatient as to barge into the bedchamber. We will withdraw immediately."

"You do indeed deserve death." Crown Prince Mo coldly cut her off, his expression calm as he nodded. "Guards."

Several guards had long been waiting outside, but they were always well-trained. Without a summons from their master or mistress, they would never step a foot into the inner chambers.

Hearing His Highness's call, they immediately rushed in, shouting in unison, "Your Highness!"

"Drag them out and beat them to death," Crown Prince Mo said coldly, his expression showing not a ripple of emotion.

Mama Zhao and the others' faces instantly changed drastically. They abruptly looked up, staring in horror at the cold-faced Crown Prince.

His Highness the Crown Prince actually ordered their execution?

How, how could this be?

His Highness truly gave no face whatsoever to these old servants of the Empress Dowager?

Mama Zhao trembled. Seeing the guards step forward to drag people away, she immediately cried out sharply, "Your Highness, spare us! Your Highness! Your humble servants were acting on the Empress Dowager's orders, specifically to invite the Crown Princess... Mmmph! Mmmph mmmph?"

The rest of her words were clearly muffled by the guards, unable to be spoken.

Soon, the sound of bamboo planks striking repeatedly came from outside the bedchamber. The efficiency of the Crown Prince's subordinates, naturally, needed no further elaboration.

The little girl blinked, then huffed at the man who was walking towards her, turning her head away, refusing to look at this fellow.

Mo Lian walked to the little one's side. Just as he reached out to embrace her, he saw the little thing kick her legs and jump off the couch. She waved her small hand unhappily. "Your family is too annoying. I'm going home now."

Mo Lian's hand froze in mid-air. He quickly flashed, blocking her path, and pulled her into his arms. "Trying to run again?"

"Who's running?" The little one waved her small hand, her small eyes strangely glancing at him. "Whenever your old lady calms down, I'll come back."

"She'll calm down immediately." He'd have those people beaten to death and sent back. With his bloody methods, he presumed, no one would dare cause trouble in the Eastern Palace for at least a month.

"I find it annoying too, wife," Mo Lian rubbed his head against hers. "How about your husband accompanies you home?"

Qiao Mu gave him an eye-roll, raising her voice in a strange, sarcastic tone, and said calmly, "If you run to my maiden home every day with me, your old lady will definitely have something to say again. Just you wait, she won't calm down today."

Mo Lian raised his eyebrows, rubbing against his little wife. "She's really annoying."

"She's not just annoying," Qiao Mu chuckled. Before, because of Chen Baojia's matter, the old lady had been extremely displeased with her!

Now, the Crown Prince had ordered several of her capable mammies beaten to death and sent back. Who knew what kind of chaos she would stir up?

Just wait; there would be plenty of trouble.

Indeed, less than an hour later, the young couple received news of the Emperor's summons, and they exchanged glances.

The little one was furious and rolled her eyes at her husband.

She still hadn't gotten over what he did to her yesterday! Today, she felt unwell all over, and he was still causing her trouble all day!
