Chapter 5069: 5.0821 Interest Awakened
As soon as the fake finished speaking, Qiao Mu, without another word, raised her hand and swiped the air in front of her, creating ripples.
In a matter of seconds, she drew a Manifestation Talisman and swiftly launched it.
Strangely, just as Qiao Mu made this move, the fake opposite her also moved with extreme speed.
She mimicked Qiao Mu's actions, drawing several strokes in the void, as if learning on the spot, and her movements were quite standard.
The fake also moved her finger, quickly drawing a talisman in the void, directly meeting and colliding with the Manifestation Talisman flying from Qiao Mu.
Everyone saw two void talismans collide in mid-air, creating a dazzling stream of light. Talisman power splattered, and with several whooshing sounds, it dissipated.
A group of official wives and noble ladies from aristocratic families, as laymen, could only watch the spectacle. They only felt a brilliant light before their eyes and truly couldn't figure out what was happening.
However, it was clearly visible that the barrel-waisted little woman standing beside the Crown Prince showed no change in expression when she launched a void talisman, while the Crown Princess opposite her swayed several times.
No way...
A formidable person like the Crown Princess actually lost in one move? Who would believe that?
Everyone looked at the chubby little Qiao Mu with surprise and uncertainty, then at the fake whose face was slightly pale.
They heard the slightly older Madam Jiang, the Imperial Censor's wife, murmur, "Seeing is not always believing. Could it be... that the Crown Princess we see is actually an imposter? And the one led in by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually the real Crown Princess?"
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone felt as if enlightened, suddenly clearing their minds a bit.
A lady next to her quickly nodded and said, "No wonder that barrel-waisted, cough, young madam..."
She paused here, feeling a bit awkward herself.
How should she address that barrel-waisted woman at the door? Her appearance and age were definitely not young, so calling her "young madam" didn't seem quite appropriate either.
Calling her "Crown Princess"... facing those small, dull eyes and plain, ugly face, it really was hard to say.
What kind of bizarre trick is this little Crown Princess playing? Why did she suddenly change her face and insist on transforming herself into the appearance of a middle-aged woman!
Looking at it this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's love for his wife was absolutely true.
The little Crown Princess had even transformed herself into such an ugly face, yet His Highness could completely ignore it. How broad-minded must one be to achieve this?
On Qiao Mu's side, however, her eyes gleamed slightly as she stared at the fake in front of her, a completely incomprehensible light flowing within her eyes.
"Not bad at imitating," Qiao Mu took two steps forward, suddenly becoming very interested. "Let me see how effective your imitation talisman is."
With that, she moved as fast as lightning, forming hand seals, continuously manipulating the air in front of her, and constantly changing various gestures and movements.
Everyone only felt a chaotic blur before their eyes. They saw the air fluctuating, and one after another, purple-glowing talismans were rapidly drawn out of thin air by the barrel-waisted little woman.
They lined up in rows and columns, so fast that it made people's breath catch.
The fake opposite her had beads of sweat forming on her forehead. At first, she could keep up with Qiao Mu's talisman drawing speed, but after a minute, even the laymen could see that something was wrong.
Too wrong! That fake Crown Princess's movements and gestures were exactly the same as the other's, but except for the very first time, when a talisman flew out and collided with the barrel-waisted little woman's void talisman attack, nothing else happened.
