Chapter 1013: Torturing You People to Death
Wei Ziqin and Qiao Lin were both very spirited since their bodily strength and mystic conscious as mystic cultivators differed from normal people’s. To them, repeating these motions at this time of day was simply nothing.
Retracting her gaze, Qiao Mu followed the sequence for the praying ceremony without prompt.
She even deliberately followed the most elaborate and strict sequence to sufficiently demonstrate her piety.
She wasn’t tired doing it anyways. Since they made her come here bright and early in the morning to burn joss sticks and say prayers, then she’d go through the most long-winded and formal ceremony to make those orioles and swallows behind her suffer.
Afterall, separated by the lingering incense smoke, it wasn’t like this clique of royal concubines, princesses, and madams could come bite her from anger!
The Venerable Abbot, on the other hand, couldn’t help but repeatedly exclaim in admiration, seeing that she was unafraid of hardship and hardwork, even worrying about and praying for the kingdom’s and the people’s good fortune at her young age.
Sure enough, after she finished going through the sequence, it was already afternoon.
She had made everyone’s stomachs rumble from hunger. In particular, the consorts and madams who were getting on in their years and also didn’t move about much normally all had pale complexions. The sun made them dizzy, and they were incessantly moaning in their minds.
Those young princesses, commandery princesses, and young misses were also inwardly complaining that they couldn’t endure it anymore.
Before setting out from their homes before 3 o’clock in the morning, they had merely eaten a bit of breakfast and pastries, while some had even courted disaster by coming on empty stomachs.
It was already past noon by now, but they hadn’t even been able to take a sip of water!
The crown prince consort was intent on torturing all of them to death in this monastery!
At this time, they were all extremely envious of Commandery Princess Yi’an, who hadn’t come because she had to wait upon to the queen dowager, as well as Fourth Princess Mo Shuang, whom the king had directly forbid from going out due to her infamous indecorum.
Originally, they had been more or less ridiculing in their minds towards this fourth princess who didn’t have much standing, but right now, they all wanted to cry. They were so envious that the princess didn’t have to come and suffer this torment!
The crown prince consort was still full of vitality and in great spirits. She wasn’t breathless in the slightest even after completing this complicated prayer sequence.
Subsequently, Great Sea Monastery’s abbot, Venerable Master Konghui, placed his palms together in particular admiration, praising, “The crown prince consort, although very young, does not fear hardship and is concerned about her kingdom and her people. Her character is especially commendable.”
His overflowing praises made Consort Cheng and the others so infuriated that they saw stars.
“Your Highness.” Suddenly, a shout was heard, and an accompanying royal maid hastily used her body to prop up Consort Liu’s collapsed body.
It turned out that Consort Liu was tired and hungry so her body fainted before everyone else, unable to withstand it anymore.
The crown prince consort walked up apathetically and swept Consort Liu a glance. Suddenly, she raised her hand and ordered, “Someone, bring a bucket of ice water over and splash it on her!”
Yet the originally fainted Consort Liu abruptly straightened her body and jumped up, repeatedly waving her hand as she said, “No need, no need. This consort was only a bit dizzy earlier and now feels much better.”
When she finished saying this and saw the surrounding monks’ strange gazes, Consort Liu didn’t know where to put her pride, and she was so embarrassed that her face burned up.
It only took a second after she pretended to faint that the crown prince consort freaking caught her red-handed!
Was there anything even more wretched and more merciless than this?
Everyone twitched their mouths repeatedly, but they wanted to cry on the inside.
If pretending to faint worked, they all wanted to faint.
Eighth Princess Mo You had been holding it in for a long time, but she finally couldn’t stifle her laughter any longer and chuckled.
She had finally caught on that this stoic-faced little sister-in-law was intent on torturing these consorts and madams to death openly and above board!
The crown prince consort looked at them sternly as she announced, “This crown prince consort is going to sweep the Pacification Pagoda!”
