She just so happened to learn a very interesting talisman several days prior.

  Qiao Mu reached out with a swipe, taking out three ebony tablets from her inner world. Meanwhile, the corner of her lips tugged faintly, revealing a frosty smile.

  Rather than letting the crown prince do the job, it’d be better that she personally dispose of this person.

  In any case, the king probably didn’t have a good impression of her either way, so this matter would merely add an emphatic “heartless and vicious” element to her existing “cruel” reputation.

  With a flicker, the ebony tablet promptly flew into the woodshed and silently hovered in mid-air.

  Unexpectedly, Zheng Ru’s entire body jolted as she vigilantly sensed something, and she abruptly turned around.

  “Nanny!” She screeched.

  Nanny Su quickly turned around, immediately seeing the lustrous blue talisman energy flashing on the ebony tablets.

  “They’re talismans!” Nanny Su cried out in alarm.

  In a split second, a large boom caused the entire woodshed to transform into broken wooden planks that rushed up into the night sky while riding the explosive energy that could overturn the heavens.

  With this, never mind the Chonghua Palace!

  The entire inner court of the royal palace, and even the entire royal capital, was ferociously alarmed by this explosive sound that instant.

  Everyone hopped out of bed and hastily threw on a cloak before running outside their rooms.

  The senior manager had just dismissed the quarrelsome Nanny Su, so she hadn’t fallen into a deep sleep yet.

  With this explosion, her mind exploded wide awake.

  The lamp inside the small study of the Eastern Palace’s side palace was still shining. It seemed Mo Lian was still handling some urgent official business.

  Yet this explosion suddenly cut off his train of thought. He promptly threw down his brush and stood up. “Huifeng.”


  Huifeng jumped inside from the window with a whoosh. “Your Highness, the sound came from Chonghua Palace.”


  Mo Lian’s eyes narrowed. “Was it Hidden Flower who brought people over?”


  However, Huifeng immediately shook his head. “This subordinate can confirm that it isn’t him!”


  “That is true.” Hidden Flower had clearly reported to them that he would find an opportunity within three days.

  According to Hidden Flower’s silly yet prudent nature, it would take at least until tomorrow night for him to go dispose of that troublesome woman.

  “Your Highness! Do you want this subordinate to go investigate the situation?” Huifeng inquired hastily.

  “No need, someone will certainly come over later to report the situation.” Just as the crown prince said this, hurried footsteps came from beyond the Eastern Palace courtyard wall.

  “Your Highness the Crown Prince!” The fact that Lightning was the quickest person to arrive took even the crown prince by surprise.

  “Why aren’t you by Qiaoqiao’s side……”


  “It’s awful, Your Highness the Crown Prince.” Lightning jumped inside the crown prince’s small study with a twisting movement before wiping his sweat, exclaiming, “The crown prince consort, the crown prince consort ran to Chonghua Palace in the middle of the night to settle accounts with Noble Consort Zheng.”


  Huifeng was at a loss, and he quickly cut in, “What did the crown prince consort do?”


  “The crown prince consort flung out three explosion talismans, which were particularly powerful. They blasted Her Highness the Noble Consort Zheng along with her house into the sky at once!”


  The crown prince was stunned, after which he laughed uproariously. “Good, good, good.”


  Huifeng furtively peeked at how amused the crown prince was.

  Huifeng twitched his mouth and said, “What Noble Consort Zheng is there. It is merely Palace Maid Zheng Ru.”
