Chapter 5085: 5.0837 Developing Medicinal Powder

"Wake him up!" The little Crown Princess crisply called out.

This eunuch by Mother's side is too frail. How can someone faint so easily when they come to me? It's simply ridiculous and comical.

The little Crown Princess hummed, then waved her small hand with force.

The two hidden guards quickly bowed to her and swiftly stepped forward to lift the plump eunuch.

They raised their hands and pinched the eunuch's philtrum, then gently massaged two pressure points on his body.

The plump eunuch opened his eyes, momentarily dazed, staring blankly at the two hidden guards close by.

"What are you here for?" The little Crown Princess's sharp voice recalled some of the eunuch's scattered wits.

He hastily struggled free from the two hidden guards' hands, just intending to step forward and answer the Crown Princess's question.

But then his eyes caught sight of seventeen or eighteen identical faces.

All were burly men with scruffy beards. Their clothes were somewhat ragged, and many had pre-prepared thin blankets or similar items draped over themselves.

They stood in rows, comically disheveled, each staring at him with strange gazes.

"Mama mia," the plump eunuch cried out, plopping down onto the ground.

He could barely look at the dozen identical faces before him.

The eunuch felt goosebumps all over his body. Seeing more than ten identical faces at once, the level of terror was comparable to a giant monstrous beast appearing before him.

"With such small guts, how do you serve by Mother's side!" The little Crown Princess's stoic little face hardened as she admonished him displeasedly.

"Stand straight!"

The plump eunuch, startled by her shout, quickly stood up.

His legs were so weak he could barely stand, but seeing the Crown Princess's sharp gaze, he quickly straightened himself...

Waaah... who did he provoke? He just came to deliver an imperial message, but he's been so greatly frightened. So unlucky, unlucky, unlucky!

"Cr-Crown Princess, Her Imperial High-Highness the Empress's im-imperial message, invites you to j-join for, for dinner."

Qiao Mu blinked, then nodded reluctantly. "Alright, you go wait for me over there, stand far away!"

"Aye, aye, yes!" The eunuch's legs were still a bit wobbly, making him walk unsteadily.

Once he was further away, the little Crown Princess looked down at the large soup pot in her arms, then at the group of palace maids and eunuchs before her.

Caiqi, sporting a man's face, quickly waved the silk handkerchief in her hand, emitting a rough, loud voice, "All, all stand ready! Line up! Prepare—"

The little Crown Princess skillfully picked up the pot...

With a whoosh, she poured more than half a pot of the powdered substance all over everyone.

The plump eunuch from the Central Palace could almost hear his own jaw snap as it dropped.

He watched with wide eyes as the mischievous Crown Princess, taking a pot of greenish powder, simply tossed it against the wind onto everyone.

Caiqi and the others in the first row had their faces covered in powder, holding their breath and barely able to open their eyes!

The eunuchs and palace maids in the two rows behind them were slightly better off, but with their faces covered in greenish, paste-like powder, they weren't comfortable either.

The plump eunuch silently closed his mouth.

He suddenly felt how truly fortunate it was to be staying in Her Imperial Highness the Empress's Central Palace.

These palace maids and eunuchs serving the little Crown Princess truly had it tough, incredibly tough.

Qiao Mu carefully watched the changes on everyone's bodies.

The moment the powder landed on them, the deformed bodies of these little palace maids and eunuchs began to shed their altered appearances, revealing their original selves.
