Chapter 179 Is the Crown Prince getting restless?

After Qiao Tinghao, Ruan Mumu, and Liu Shengxu left the Qinzheng Hall, Liu Shengxu planned to go to Qingli Palace to see his mother.

"Girl, Tinghao, would you like to go and meet my mother? She'll be very happy to see you," Liu Shengxu said to the two of them.

Ruan Mumu looked at Qiao Tinghao, after all, she was a stranger in Beijing and had to rely on him for everything.

Qiao Tinghao nodded, took out his phone and called his mother to tell her that after meeting the Emperor in the palace, he was planning to visit Consort Xiao before returning home.

"Let's go!" Qiao Tinghao walked side by side with Ruan Mumu, while Liu Shengxu walked ahead.

By the time the three arrived at Qingli Palace, it was already getting dark.

"Biyu, what is my mother doing?"

A deep male voice startled Biyu, who was carrying a bowl of soup. She looked up and saw a strange man talking to her, with a man and a woman behind him, who looked like children.

Biyu looked at the man with suspicion and asked warily, "Who are you?"

Biyu certainly wouldn't shout, since she had just heard the man say "Mother Consort," but he didn't look like their Third Prince.

“Biyu, it’s me. I’ve disguised myself,” Liu Shengxu said in a normal tone.

Only then did Biyu realize that their young master had returned.

She suddenly quickened her pace and walked towards the living room.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Great news, great news! The Third Prince is back!" Biyu excitedly reported, quickly placing the soup she was holding on the table.

Consort Xiao, who was sitting at the dining table preparing to eat dinner, was stunned upon hearing the news. She then asked anxiously, "Xu'er is back? Where is he now?"

Before Consort Xiao could finish speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Mother, I'm here!"

Then a slightly thin figure walked in from outside, followed by two teenagers.

Consort Xiao stared blankly at the unfamiliar man in front of her, but she had just recognized his voice as her son's. Upon closer inspection, she saw his familiar eyes and the smile on his face, and she knew that her son had disguised himself.

"Xu'er, is it really you? You're back so soon?" Consort Xiao stood up, took her son's hand, looked him up and down, and exclaimed, "You've lost weight and grown taller."

Liu Shengxu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then pulled Consort Xiao aside and said, "Mother, let me introduce you. This is Qiao Tinghao, Aunt Hui's youngest son."

This is Ruan Mumu, the little girl who saved me in Xiyang.

Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mumu solemnly bowed to Consort Xiao and said, "May Your Highness be well."

Consort Xiao looked at the two children and said, "Thanks to you, Xu'er was able to return safely. Thank you!"

Ruan Mumu waved her hand and said, "The War King is a lucky man, and all of this is preordained. Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite."

"Biyu, go and tell all the servants outside to leave and not let anyone else near here. Then tell the kitchen to bring a few more dishes. I want to have a proper meal with the Third Prince and the others," Consort Xiao instructed her maid.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away." Biyu said and immediately went out.

"Xu'er, have you seen your father?" Consort Xiao asked her son gently.

"Mother, we just came from the Hall of Diligent Governance," Liu Shengxu replied.

"Xu'er, you've come back just in time. I just received intelligence that the Crown Prince has been making moves lately, and I wonder what he intends to do," Consort Xiao said in a low voice.
