Chapter 5363: Tense Situation

The situation suddenly became inexplicably tense.

Early in the morning, the Emperor summoned the Crown Prince and his ministers. Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, they were unusually busy, continuously deliberating for an entire day. By the second day of the New Year, the court had issued various prohibitions and measures.

Mo Lian largely handed over the tasks to Fu San and others, while he himself stayed by his little wife's side, contentedly remaining indoors with her. Poor Fu San, newlywed, had been as busy as a spinning top these days, his feet barely touching the ground. Qiao Mu and Mo Lian, this irresponsible little couple, had now become the most idle pair in the entire Three Continents.

Qiao Qiao was sleepy all day, and Mo Lian would sleep with her. When she occasionally got up to move around, Crown Prince Mo would follow her every step. The two of them were inseparable for twelve hours a day, and after three days, Qiao Mu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"The situation outside is so tense right now, don't you, as the Crown Prince, have anything else to be busy with?"

"No," Mo Lian was busy peeling shrimp. Hearing Qiao Qiao's remark, he immediately looked up at his wife and gave her a roguish smile. "Qiao Qiao, it's only been three days since your husband stayed by your side; are you already annoyed?"

You are a bit annoying, Qiao Mu grumbled inwardly, pursing her lips. "Don't you need to help Father Emperor with anything lately?"

"No need," Crown Prince Mo quickly dragged his stool closer to his wife, reaching out to embrace her waist. "Qiao Qiao, your husband has received Father Emperor's imperial decree. For now, I don't need to manage anything and can just stay by your side."

"Actually, I'm not that delicate," Qiao Mu shook her head helplessly. "With my current body, climbing a mountain to hunt a few tigers, wolves, or leopards would be no problem at all."

However, in the middle of the night, Lady Qiao Qiao, who supposedly could hunt tigers, wolves, and leopards, suddenly opened her eyes and tried to move herself into the Star Domain, but felt no response. Yet, her spiritual connection with Ball Ball still existed, and she heard Ball Ball shouting excitedly in her spiritual realm, "Master, Master, you've really hit the jackpot! Is this? Our Star Domain seems to be upgrading!"

"Oh my goodness, Master, what's going on? Ball Ball really didn't expect this! The last piece of the fragment hasn't even been found, and this Star Domain is about to upgrade into a Sacred Domain, ha, hahahaha! Master, Master, your luck is excellent today. Why don't you go out for a stroll right now? Maybe you'll find a treasure artifact mine or something as soon as you step out? Hahahaha!"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel speechless, too lazy to continue talking to this raving little tree.

Meanwhile, the moment Qiao Mu opened her eyes, Mo Lian, who was sleeping beside her, immediately woke up in alarm. He quickly turned to look at her. "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Qiao Mu shook her head, her expression a little strange. "I seem to be about to give birth."

Mo Lian instantly lost all sleepiness. He shot up from the bed, frantically waved his hand to light up a row of lamps, and while haphazardly putting on his clothes, he shouted outside, "Quick, quickly, someone! Go call all the midwives and nannies!"

"Have the imperial physicians wait outside!"

"Don't be nervous, I actually... don't feel much," Qiao Mu said helplessly, pulling his sleeve. Looking at him, sweating profusely and with a very grave expression, she didn't know how to calm him down.

It was actually very mystical at this moment. She suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a premonition that she was about to give birth. But in reality, her sensations weren't as intense as those of typical pregnant women.
