“Yi’an will surely understand Your Majesty’s pains in the future.”
“It was also my failure in disciplining the king, spoiling the king into becoming like this today. Back then… sigh, it’s best not to mention it. The mistake has already been made, with no way to remedy it.” The queen dowager sighed in melancholy.
She had suffered enough hardships and misery while fighting for state power alongside the former king, so just like a normal mother, she wanted to give her son the best in the world.
By coddling and pampering the king Mo Lei from young, she had ended up raising him into a good-for-nothing.
As it stood, the king had formidable parents shielding him as well as a forbidding son picking up after him. Since he was in want of lofty aspirations, he had just muddled his way along like this…
“It’s just that my grandson has to suffer with this unreliable dad. He has had a heavy burden ever since he was young.” The queen dowager sighed, “It’s been so difficult for him to finally find someone that he wants to spend his life with, so no matter what, We cannot let anyone get in the way.”
“That is of course.” Feng Gu remarked with a nod, “Hearing Gong Chang’an talk about the crown prince consort’s deeds for these past days has also made this old servant itch to see the crown prince consort immediately.”
The queen dowager laughed again, her eyes nearly turning into slits from her smile. “I just know I like her from what I have heard. This child is definitely my kindred spirit.”
“Everything is good about Yi’an, this child, but it’s just that she postures herself too much and is not genuine enough.”
Yi’an actually did not understand the queen dowager. The queen dowager was a forthright old granny, which was the reason that she liked the crown prince and Little Twelfth so much. In front of her, these two children would call her “Grandmother” joyfully as normal grandsons.
However, the other children would not do that. If Yi’an didn’t posture as much, opening up in front of the queen dowager instead, the queen dowager might like her even more.
“Her standards are so high, having taken a fancy to the crown prince. She clearly knows that it is a dead end, yet she still insists on plunging in headfirst even when We try to lead her back,” lamented the queen dowager.
At this time, a hidden guard came to report news of the crown prince leaving the capital. After hearing this, the queen dowager started guffawing, pulling at Feng Gu to assert, “Look, look, look, this grandson of mine has gone to chase after his wife. She has merely been gone for less than ten days, yet look at how fretful he is, hahahaha!”
Feng Gu also couldn’t stop chuckling behind her hand.
—-My Qiao’s section break—-
At the same time, Qiao Mu was ambling aimlessly about the Mystic Beast Forest.
If she encountered a mystic beast that was so blind as to pounce over, then she would mercilessly kill it with one strike before instinctively digging out their core.
The entire Mystic Beast Forest had become like her backyard. She would walk and stop, walk and stop, occasionally scanning her surroundings with her mystic conscious to see if there was a better place with concentrated mystic energy for her to cultivate.
Ahead of her was a babbling brook whose murmuring could be heard through the forest.
Sikong Fuling, who was sitting on a stone beside the creek, was cleaning her kill. When she heard the sound of soft footsteps, she turned around guardedly.
This look involuntarily made her stunned.
Qiao Mu walked out expressionlessly. After scanning around with her spiritual conscious, she stepped forward to advance.
“Hey, hey, it’s water up ahead. You’ll get wet if you step into it!” Sikong Fuling quickly got up and pulled her back.
Qiao Mu turned around, her unfocused gaze settling on Sikong Fuling’s face.
“Grumble!” Yet the resounding sound of hunger churned out from her stomach.
After getting taken aback, Sikong Fuling involuntarily smiled as she pulled her back several steps. “Wait here!”
