Chapter 1014: A Permanent Solution

Everyone simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief, thinking: Goodness, they finally didn’t have to suffer anymore!

Thank the heavens and the earth, they could finally return to the monastery’s side rooms to rest, drink water, and eat their meals!

Yet who would have expected that the crown prince consort would icily and mercilessly announce with her small, deadpan face, “Before that, you must kneel here in front of my great Mo Kingdom’s national pagoda and say your prayers to Heaven together, awaiting this crown prince consort’s return from sweeping the pagoda!”

Consort Cheng’s body trembled and fell backwards onto the royal maid behind her.

The group of royal concubines were nearly about to cry.

“What are you all looking at this crown prince consort with your crestfallen faces for? Could it be that you all didn’t come here with all sincerity to pray for the good fortune of my Mo Kingdom’s people?” The crown prince consort chastised coldly, “You’re only praying for blessings for one day, yet you can’t endure a tiny bit of hardship? Then why haven’t I seen you all incessantly complaining in normal times about the pampered lifestyles provided to you by the Mo Kingdom’s commoners?”

“You have to assume the appropriate responsibility for the treatment you enjoy!”

“After returning to the palace, I will definitely make a clear and detailed report to the king and the queen about this matter! This crown prince consort sees and bears each of your behavior in mind and definitely won’t slander any of you.” The crown prince consort spoke forcefully and with justice, infuriating the group of royal concubines and madams so much that they were instantly rendered speechless.

Wei Ziqin gazed at her daughter speechlessly, as well.

At the beginning, she had also thought that her daughter was completing this prayer ceremony with a particularly serious and pious attitude.

But halfway through, she perceived that something was off…

She was openly punishing those royal concubines in broad daylight!

She didn’t mind kneeling in front of the pagoda. After all, from early in the morning until now, she had secretly drunk a bit of sacred water in the middle, so she didn’t feel the slightest bit fatigued right now.

There was also no need to worry about Xiao Lin’er. Her small face was flushed and rosy, with only several beads of sweat seeping out on the tip of her nose as she gazed at her sister with glowing eyes.

But as for those pitiful royal concubines and madams, when had they ever suffered from such torment?

At this time, all the royal concubines had silently made a particularly momentous decision. Next time, if the king intended for the crown prince consort to lead them in doing any kind of activity again, then they would surely oppose it to the end!

They would vehemently request for Her Majesty the Queen to lead them for the activity!

It should originally have been the queen heading this prayer activity! But since she shirked her responsibilities, this hoodoo ended up coming and torturing them to death!

Everyone unanimously decided that for any large-scale activity in the future, they would resolutely prevent the crown prince consort, this black-heart fellow, from joining the party.

At this time, Darling Qiao was unaware that her act of killing the chicken to warn the monkey actually served as a permanent solution that would help her avoid many troubles later on.

The monks had started to chant, and with the last sound “kneel,” Consort Cheng and the others persistently griped in their minds as they braced themselves and knelt down mournfully.

Yet kneeling down wasn’t the end of it. They still had to accompany the monks in loudly saying their prayers to Heaven until the crown prince consort returned from sweeping the pagoda.

Everyone was crying out in their minds: Crown Prince Consort, we beg of you! Don’t sweep the pagoda, let’s just go back…

The crown prince consort’s figure disappeared from everyone’s despairing gazes.

Wuwu, the crown prince consort, this straightforward fellow, wasn’t really going to sweep each and every floor, right? If so, would they still be able to drink a sip of water or even go home before night fell?

However, once the doors to the pagoda shut, Qiao Mu’s expression completely turned cold.

With a flash of her figure, she reached the pagoda’s ninth floor at her top speed. Subsequently, she gazed icily at the man and woman that were tied up in the center of the pagoda.

“Long time no see.”
