Chapter 5063: 5.0815 Perplexed

The array disc was set up in the southwest direction of the imperial palace, and the talisman power within the array was extremely abundant.

The person who set up such a grand array must be a Heavenly-level Grand Talisman Master.

And... there might be more than one.

Dragon Flame City was huge. Setting up such a large array would be impossible without three Heavenly-level Grand Talisman Masters working for over a month.

"Very good," Qiao Mu nodded.

Indeed, there was no need to worry too much about Dragon Flame City.

Once this city-protecting grand array was activated, if attacked from the outside, even if a hundred thousand troops besieged the city, they wouldn't be able to break through it without three months.

Qiao Mu looked up at her husband, "It's a very powerful multi-layered defensive talisman array; there's indeed no need to worry too much."

Mo Lian happily held his wife's hand and said, "Since there's no major problem in the city, let's go back to the palace."

As the two just returned to the tea house at the East City Gate, they saw a swift horse galloping towards them.

Upon reaching the tea house entrance, the person on horseback quickly dismounted, rushed forward a few steps, and bowed in salute, "Qiaochu greets Your Highness."

Mo Lian raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself: Father Emperor is well-informed; he got the news so quickly and knows I'm back.

Qiaochu was his personal head palace maid. For so many years, she had been very proper, managing palace affairs before his mother awakened.

Everyone thought this head palace maid would one day stage a comeback and be appointed as a concubine by the Emperor, but facts proved otherwise.

"His Majesty saw the golden dragon circling the imperial city dozens of times, and thus knew that Your Highness had returned. Your Highness has worked hard on this trip to Underworld River. His Majesty's oral decree is for Your Highness to quickly enter the palace."

Mo Lian knew well that after letting little Seven circle in the air dozens of times and scattering more than ten kinds of antidote powders, he knew his whereabouts definitely couldn't be hidden from some people's eyes.

It seemed that no major incidents had occurred in the palace, so why did that Grand Imperial Master of Duo Luo Kingdom send people to block them in Royal Estate Town?

Qiao Mu also didn't understand, looking at her husband with a puzzled expression.

And only now did Qiaochu see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually holding a small woman with a barrel waist and short limbs.

The two, whether in height, figure, or appearance, were vastly different, truly an eyesore!

Qiaochu looked at Qiao Mu with a strange expression, then at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Before she could speak, Mo Lian calmly put his arm around his little wife's waist and whispered, "Qiao Qiao, shall we make a trip to Father Emperor's place?"

Qiao Mu was a hundred percent unwilling to enter the palace at this moment!

If her comical appearance were seen by Mo Lian's father, heh, who knows, that guy might laugh for a year.

No way, no way!

Qiao Mu quickly waved her hand, "Since there's nothing wrong with your father, I'll return to the Eastern Palace first."

Mo Lian secretly chuckled. Seeing his wife adamantly refusing to go with him to see his old father, he could only nod helplessly. "Alright then, Qiao Qiao, go home first. I'll be back later."

Qiaochu looked at Qiao Mu again with a strange expression.

Qiao Qiao?

Isn't the Crown Princess named Qiao Qiao? I often hear the Crown Prince call her that, but the Crown Princess...

"Aren't you going?" Mo Lian's eyes lightly swept over Qiaochu, instantly making the latter's gaze quickly retract.

Could it be that the Crown Princess went to Underworld River, was ambushed by enemies, and was framed, resulting in a drastic change in her appearance?

She had also heard that the two had seemingly encountered many things in Underworld River. Not long ago, the Emperor had anxiously dispatched secret guards to Underworld River to search for the young couple.
