1876: This Wasn't a Jailbreak Right?

This Wasn't a Jailbreak Right?

"Here! Go ahead." The little fellow stuffed a basin into his hands before trotting away.0

His Highness the Crown Prince twitched his mouth as he looked down at the basin his wifey had shoved into his hands before walking away. He could only speechlessly carry the tub out the door and arrange for the tavern staff to fill it up with bathing water…

Wait! Wife, don't you have the water spirit? Wouldn't everything be set once you dispense some water and Hubby heats it up for you?

Hubby would also be able to scrub your back for you at the same time too, no?

Why did you have to make him find a tavern worker for basins of hot water…

"Don't waste spiritual energy." His wifey expressionlessly supervised a certain person in filling up the bathing tub with one basin of water after another. Afterwards, she had this free labor help her carry the tub into the inner chamber before promptly booting a certain crown prince out. She then happily went to enjoy her bath.

The pitiful crown prince: …

How about the couple bathing we had agreed upon!

Giving me a basin to fill up the tub with so much water counted as bathing together?

By the time Miss Qiao ran out after bathing herself clean, she saw Crown Prince Mo drinking tea in the candlelight while lazily sitting at the table. He had also changed into a white middle layer garment to prepare for bed.

Miss Qiao ran over joyfully, and she gave him a kiss while hugging him.

Crown Prince Mo: …

My wife, don't start randomly teasing me. It's very easy for accidents to happen this late into the night. Your hubby doesn't have the self-control you think I have!

He wasn't someone who didn't have impulses.

There was simply no notion of self-control, especially when it came to his wifey.

Qiao Mu saw his queer expression, but she paid no mind and pinched his cheeks before snuggling into his arms.

"You're sleepy?" Mo Lian sighed. He brushed away the stray hair on her cheeks before bending over to kiss her on the head.

"Sleep now."

"I still want to talk with you." Qiao Mu shook her head.

Mo Lian chuckled and carried her to the bed. "We'll talk once you wake up. Don't worry, I won't be going anywhere. I'll be here to accompany you."

"You big liar!"

"How am I a big liar?" Mo Lian looked speechlessly at his wifey. "Look, I kept my promise and reunited with you in less than five months."

Qiao Mu tilted her head on the pillow and stared at him for a bit. Afterwards, she nodded in acknowledgement and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I'll sleep in a bit. I'll watch you fall asleep."

You're acting so strange. You can't be thinking of coaxing this darling to sleep so you can slink off by yourself, right!

Crown Prince Mo couldn't help bursting out in laughter when he saw the little fellow's undisguised doubts. He then caressed her petite face and reassured, "Don't worry, Hubby won't run off."

"You really came out from the Punishment Tower?" Qiao Mu was still worried and scrambled up from bed.

It couldn't be that this was a jailbreak, and then he had to go back inside after getting some fresh air…

Mo Lian: …

However, he was both happy and touched when he saw the little fellow's worry and unease. He held this fair and soft little lady in his arms and lay down together with her. "I'm not lying to you. I really did come out."

Qiao Mu hugged his neck back and buried her petite head in his chest. "How did you come out? Was it dangerous?"

"How could it be dangerous?" Crown Prince Mo promptly started boasting. He simply made himself sound like a god from how he surmounted all difficulties to clear the tower.

It wasn't until the little fellow succumbed to her drowsiness and fell asleep in his arms that he quieted down.

After a long time, the little one's steady breathing entered his ears.
