Chapter 5358: Excellent!

He leaned in and kissed her, completely ignoring her frustrated expression, and said to himself, "Wife, you must be very happy. Your husband will definitely watch over you day and night from now on."

Qiao Mu really wanted to slap him unconscious. She didn't know what was wrong, but her husband had suddenly changed... She wanted to say that she really didn't need to be watched. She swore, she could kill a dragon from a distance right now! Her body was perfectly fine, light as a swallow, without any of the bloated weakness that pregnant women experience in their later stages. Why couldn't this husband understand human language?

"Husband, you don't actually need to be with me all the time," the little stoic said mercilessly, her small face expressionless. "You can go do whatever you need to do!" This man was simply too annoying; she wasn't disabled, yet he wanted to deprive her of the simple pleasure of peeling an orange! So annoying, just seeing his beautiful, handsome face was enough for Lady Qiao Qiao!

Mo Lian blinked, looking at his little wife in confusion as she heavily closed the palace door, shutting him out.

"Pfft, hahahaha..." A mocking laugh came from behind him. Mo Lian didn't need to turn around to know who dared to laugh so arrogantly at the dignified Crown Prince.

"Rotten peach blossom, itching for a beating, are we?" Mo Lian ground his teeth.

Feng Chen, holding a wine flask in one hand, shook it and chuckled, "Qiao Qiao already dislikes you so much; I advise you not to go and be an eyesore anymore."

Just as Mo Lian was about to retort, a palace servant hurried over to report that the Empress had arrived.

Bai Wuxia came with a cart full of tonics to see her daughter-in-law. After a few words, she kept staring at her daughter-in-law's belly, also looking worried. Then the Emperor sent down many gifts and assigned several experienced old nannies. The whole group was so nervous that the entire East Palace was on edge.

That evening, Crown Prince Mo returned to his sleeping quarters dejectedly, complaining to his wife that he had been called by his mother and severely reprimanded. Qiao Mu looked confused. "For no reason, why would Mother reprimand you?"

"Mother reprimanded your unreliable husband, saying I wasn't taking good care of you, saying your belly is already so big. And I'm still wandering outside all day, not staying in the sleeping quarters to properly care for you and accompany you."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but laugh. "Husband, you know I'm fine. When did you become so easily influenced? After my mother and second aunt said something, and then Mother said something, even you think my belly is abnormally big and that delivery will be very difficult?"

Mo Lian looked at her with deep phoenix eyes, instinctively grasping her hand, stammering, "I, I, I'm really a little worried."

Qiao Mu looked at him, couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Don't get needlessly anxious along with them, okay?"

"Look, look! It's that uncaring attitude of yours that makes people feel panicked," Mo Lian suddenly reached out and hugged her, pressing his forehead against hers, complaining, "You always act as if you can carry the sky on your shoulders. I, I can help you with everything else, but, but with this... I truly can't help at all!"

Qiao Mu genuinely laughed, almost uncontrollably. She giggled at him, full of teasing, "How about, we use the Soul-Swapping Talisman and you, you help me give birth!"

Mo Lian stared at his wife blankly. This, this wife, why was she so excellent and unique?!
