Chapter 5072: 5.0824 Making Up for an Update

"So that's what this whole charade was about." Empress Bai had an epiphany, glancing at the fallen fake, a hint of realization in her eyes.

"Your Imperial Highness, Madam Wei is gone," a female official by the Empress's side whispered.

Empress Bai glanced over and indeed saw no sign of Madam Wei. She quickly looked at her son and daughter-in-law, muttering, "Madam Wei escaped! She got off easy."

Earlier, everyone's attention was focused on the ninety-nine void purple talismans flying from Qiao Mu. Their hearts were greatly shocked, and for a moment, they couldn't recover their wits.

Thus, Madam Wei took advantage of this opening and quietly slipped out through the door, indeed unnoticed by anyone.

Qiao Mu coldly snorted dismissively, "She won't get away."

Empress Bai, hearing this, knew there was more to it. She looked at Qiao Mu with a curious expression, "Daughter-in-law, what brilliant plan do you have? Quickly tell Mother."

Looking at her daughter-in-law's calm, stoic face, the Empress was dying of curiosity...

"I placed a tracking talisman on her. As long as she doesn't leave the confines of Dragon Flame City, I can receive her location feedback at any time," the little stoic whispered softly to the Empress.

"Besides that, I also sent tracking poison-tailed butterflies to follow her. She hasn't gone far and is currently circling in the chrysanthemum garden just outside your hall."

"Is that so? Then let's quickly go and catch her," Empress Bai also lowered her voice. "We can't let her escape like this. Since she dared to brazenly enter the palace, she either has ulterior motives or a strong reliance. We cannot be careless."

"No rush," Qiao Mu held the Empress's sleeve. "I've set up talisman arrays in that area. She won't be able to get out for a while."

Empress Bai quickly asked, "Daughter-in-law, when did you set up talisman arrays in the chrysanthemum garden?"

"When I came, I set up talisman arrays everywhere I passed. As soon as my divine sense moves, the arrays can activate."

Empress Bai's expression was one of astonishment. She glanced at her daughter-in-law and stammered, "Can Mother ask how many talisman arrays you set up?"

Qiao Mu blinked and tilted her head. "I didn't count precisely, probably more than twenty talisman arrays."

Empress Bai: ...

"All of them, all confinement arrays?"

"There's a mix. Confinement arrays, illusion arrays, lethal arrays, gravity arrays, about a dozen types."

Empress Bai: ...

Suddenly, what do I do if I don't want to talk to my daughter-in-law anymore?

The Empress, who originally thought her own talent was quite good, felt that life was truly... no comparison, no harm. With a comparison, she immediately received tens of thousands of points of damage, it was simply too exasperating.

This little one was able to set up dozens of almost non-repeating talisman arrays while just walking along the way?

This was too unbelievable!

Crown Prince Mo, who had been pushed aside by his mother, looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had been whispering together for a long time, speechless. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Mother, what are you talking about with Qiao Qiao?"

Finish talking and leave quickly. Constantly monopolizing her son and daughter-in-law, it's simply disrespectful for an elder.

"Son, your wife is truly extraordinary, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to," Empress Bai exclaimed with a click of her tongue. "You truly found a treasure."

"Indeed," Crown Prince Mo, hearing his mother praise his wife, immediately swept away his previous anger. He put on a smiling face and nodded repeatedly, "Mother, Qiao Qiao's talisman-drawing talent is... you haven't seen it, so you wouldn't know. It's absolutely, if Qiao Qiao says she's second, no one in the world would dare claim to be first."
