My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2911
2911 Entering Dream
Qiao Mu noticed them and immediately scooped up the young monk before turning to make her departure.
Third Aunt Zhu grew anxious and hastily interjected, “Crown Prince Consort, this young monk Kongkong should be taken back for Senior Elder Kongyin to examine…”
It was not as if the young monk were some object; they were actually returning him for Kongyin to assess!
If these two were incapable of caring for a child, they should never have taken on the responsibility. It was simply too irresponsible.
Qiao Mu shot them an impatient glance and retorted, “When you return, simply inform Senior Elder that he is under my care.”
“Besides, it was your Elder who directly entrusted him to my care in the first place. Even if I were to return him, I would do so personally!” Qiao Mu scolded the duo without any courtesy.
Kongyin had been quite evasive. Instead of coming to Sikong Planet to look after the young monk, he had delegated the task to two individuals who had little patience for children.
Naturally, the effects of the sleeping pill had a time limit. The young monk had probably been with this couple for more than a day or two.
Were they continuously administering sleeping pills to the child? How could a young child’s body endure such a treatment!
The more Qiao Mu pondered the situation, the more her anger intensified. She cast an increasingly unfriendly gaze at the couple and demanded, “Why are you still standing here?”
The young monk also expressed his impatience with a shout.
Did he wish to continue being berated under the quilt, or did he want to leave?
Third Aunt Zhu and her companion recognized their mistake and sheepishly cupped their hands, saying, “Certainly, Crown Prince Consort. We will return and report to Senior Elder.”
Qiao Mu sneered, saying, “You can respond however you wish.”
Her once-warm gaze had now turned icy. Third Aunt Zhu and the others had spent many years in the martial world; they were certainly not oblivious to the subtleties of others’ expressions.
Despite the young lady’s lower cultivation level, her status far surpassed theirs.
Casting another glance at the ill-tempered Crown Prince, Third Aunt Zhu decisively clasped her hands together, leading her husband, Zhu Fan, away from the situation. They understood that staying any longer might provoke the wrath of the young Crown Prince Consort.
Once they had left, Qiao Mu wrapped the little monk’s chubby form in a gray cotton cloth and gently placed him under a nearby tree.
“Is it difficult to counteract the effects of this sleeping pill?”
“Wait here,” Qiao Mu said as she instantly entered Paradise Planet. With a cold, determined resolve, she collected the necessary herbs from the Hundred Herbs Garden within Paradise Planet.
Swiftly, she crafted an antidote and returned from Paradise.
In a flash, Qiao Mu approached the little monk with the antidote in hand. She squatted down under the tree and administered the antidote to the young monk, gently helping him swallow it.
After a while, the little monk blinked his long eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes, appearing somewhat disoriented.
Upon his first sight, he saw Qiao Mu’s stoic countenance, and beside her was Mo Lian, also wearing an impassive expression.
“Benefactress! Your mischievous husband has entered this young monk’s dream? Please, chase him away!” The little monk exclaimed.
Mo Lian’s handsome face darkened considerably.
“Who is this mischievous husband? Explain it clearly!” Mo Lian stared at the little monk with a wry smile, emphasizing each word.
Why did this feel so real?
The little monk instinctively pinched the back of his hand and muttered, “It doesn’t hurt. Just as I suspected, I’m dreaming.”
Qiao Mu: …
“You pinched my hand,” the little stoic said expressionlessly.
