Qiao Mu squatted and propped up her chin as she sized up Qiao Yingchun up close. "Qiao Yingchun, you've only grown in age and not intelligence, right?" 2

"I had been wondering which fool actually dared to pose as this crown prince consort." Qiao Mu stuck out a finger and poked Qiao Yingchun's forehead. "I'm rather surprised. I didn't expect them to actually bring you back."

Qiao Mu turned to look at Concubine Shi, who was standing on the side, dumbstruck like a wooden chicken.

Concubine Shi finally recollected her wits. She realized that this person in front of her whom everyone was calling the crown prince consort was Qiao Mu in the flesh.

Concubine Shi's mind was in hysterics.

When did this Qiao Mu enter the capital?

How come she didn't get wind of it at all?

Qiao Mu stood up and looked at Shi Huixin. She perused through the information she had seen in her mine. "You are that Concubine Shi? Shi Huixin?"

Concubine Shi collected herself and saluted toward Qiao Mu with an apologetic smile. "Greetings to the crown prince consort. How might my Mu Clan's miss have offended the crown prince consort, if it is…"

Qiao Mu raised her hand to cut her off. "You brought Qiao Yingchun back to pose as me just to upset me? What is your goal?"

"The crown prince consort is joking. What goal can I, an insignificant concubine, have? I…"

Qiao Mu's expression abruptly changed, turning hostile. "Caixiu."

"Present!"

"Slap her mouth!"

Caixiu was already extremely familiar with this task of slapping people's mouths!

She rolled up her sleeve while walking up, and she slapped Concubine Shi's left cheek with lightning speed.

"You wicked woman! How dare you use 'I' when referring to yourself in front of the crown prince consort! You completely lack manners!"

A slap then hit the right side of Concubine Shi's face.

Since the crown prince consort did not say to stop, she respectively slapped both sides of Concubine Shi's face with both hands.

She slapped until that concubine had flushed bright red and was trembling all over out of fury.

Mu Rouyun was simply about to go nuts out of anger. She screeched, "Mom," and then she took out a good many attack talismans out of her sleeve, throwing them all at Qiao Mu without care.

"Insolence!" The Kang Prince Consort berated.

"Stop this moment, you child from the Mu Clan!" The other madams as well as Madam Zhongli also shouted angrily.

However, those talismans abruptly halted upon drifting in front of Qiao Mu.

Mu Rouyun swiftly made hand seals, one time, two times, three times, countless times. When she wasn't able to activate the talismans, bewilderment flashed across her eyes.

"Return." Qiao Mu waved her hand lightly.

Those talismans returned back the way they came. They darted in front of Mu Rouyun, and then talisman energy shot out, all attacking her at once.

"Ah!" Mu Rouyun frantically dodged the attack talismans.

However, how was it possible for her to dodge so close? She got hit by two talisman energy attacks. This made her spew blood and fly backwards to the floor.

During this time, Concubine Shi had already taken more than a dozen slaps to the face. She was struggling to fight back, but the crown prince's guards near them restrained her shoulders.

"Alright." Qiao Mu's spoke dryly. Her eyes flickered at Caixiu's red palms.

She tossed Caixiu a small bottle of ointment, and then she threw the latter a ferule from her inner world. "Are you silly? I told you to hit someone else, yet you're hurting yourself. Use a ferule to hit from now on!"

Caixiu was stunned. Afterwards, she cracked a grin and curtsied. She spoke happily, "Yes, Crown Prince Consort."
