Chapter 1541: Digging Up a Grave

The eldest prince consort was choking with coughs and struggled to sit up.

Even Haitang, who was talented and brave, couldn’t help but jump from shock at this sight.

“It’s bad, the eldest prince consort has zombified!” Haitang shielded the crown prince consort behind her while wielding her sword.

Like she said, they shouldn’t have done a burial. Look how dangerous it was. The corpses rose from the dead the moment they opened the coffin!

In the current ways of the world, everyone was used to cremating the dead to avoid the possibility of zombified corpses coming out to harm people.

“Crown, Crown Prince Consort.” The eldest prince consort called out while coughing.

Heavens, the eldest prince consort could actually speak?

What was going on? Could it be… the eldest prince consort simply hadn’t died at all??

Haitang gaped at the young crown prince consort, watching as she continued to feed medicinal solution to each of the three children.

Soon, the three children woke up one after the other and lay timidly against Shu Quan with their faces full of fear.

“Don’t be afraid.” Shu Quan hugged the three children to comfort them before hastily getting up to bow to Qiao Mu.

“No need to bow.” Qiao Mu raised her hand to forego formalities.

Haitang prattled on the side, “Crown Prince Consort, it turns out that the bottle you gave the eldest prince consort that day was, was a bottle of fake poison!”

“What do you mean fake. It was an authentic and highly poisonous solution.”

Could it deceive so many royal physicians if it were fake?

The poison was naturally genuine, but she also just had a way of reviving them within two days.

Qiao Mu swept a look at this dorky fella.

That day Haitang had clearly been present to witness her giving a bottle of poison to Shu Quan.

At that time, this lass had even asked her seriously why she was helping Shu Quan.

The young crown prince consort had even thought that this dorky lass had completely understood her intention, yet who knew…

Ha ha. Was it truly good to keep such an oddball by her side!

“Th-This maidservant had thought that y-you did not want the eldest prince consort and her children to suffer from the pain of imprisonment, th-that was why you promised to help them out from the start and g-gave them a bottle of poison for a quick death.”

Haitang explained sincerely, “A-And then later, when you learned that the eldest prince had actually also conspired to rebel, you got more infuriated the more you thought about it, so you immediately wanted to dig up the eldest prince consort’s grave to take it out on her corpse.”

Haitang scratched her head.

Qiao Mu was simply at a loss for words. This fella’s thought process seemed to be a bit different from the usual!

Was it truly good for you to be overthinking your master’s actions?

So that was why she had been solemnly prepared to hack the corpses with her sword. She had truly thought her master was regretting it and wanted to whip their corpses…

“I did not imagine that the crown prince consort had truly saved them,” Haitang remarked dorkily. In reality, she actually did not understand what was going on when the eldest prince consort came to look for her master that day…

The two masters were hinting and implying things through their conversation. She was just a mere bystander to the whole event. When she saw the crown prince consort give the eldest prince consort a bottle of medicine, with the eldest prince consort tearfully bowing in thanks, she just filled in the blanks herself. Was there something wrong with that?

“Alright, turn around.” This master does not want to talk to you right now.

Haitang obediently turned around with the back of her head facing Qiao Mu. “Master, call for this subordinate when you are leaving!”

Qiao Mu: …

Did the crown prince throw this blockhead to her side just to make her laugh!

The eldest prince consort pulled her three children up and hung her head while shedding tears. “Thank you for the crown prince consort’s aid.”
