Chapter 791: Besieged City (1)
She still hadn’t tidied up her bed!
She was embarrassed to death! This despicable guy! So despicable, so very despicable!
Even though he wasn’t allowed to look, the crown prince had already caught a glimpse with his sharp eyesight. He was momentarily dumbstruck as he looked down at his little lady.
“It’s alright, Qiaoqiao, don’t be scared, I’ll find an elderly nanny to come and teach you…”
Qiao Mu bit him on the chin: This despicable guy!!
“You’re not allowed to find anyone! Go take out the clean bed sheets and blanket from the cabinet!!”
After some effort, the crown prince helped the little lady finish spreading the clean bedsheets. Afterwards, he gazed mirthfully at the little lady who had turned her head away, not sparing him a glance.
“Qiaoqiao, do you want to eat something? I’ll go prepare it for you.”
“How’s the situation outside?” Qiao Mu asked expressionlessly while still having her back turned to a certain person.
“Oh, the city’s been besieged.”
The city’s been besieged, yet you say it so calmly and collectedly! You! Qiao Mu turned around and glared at him, baffling him. “The city’s really been besieged?”
“Mhm, mhm, it’s been besieged. There’s a lot of zombies stopped up at Beilan City’s city gate! It’s a much greater amount than the number of zombies we encountered at Qinghe Town back then!”
Qiao Mu truly wanted to pummel this clown to death! Does your relaxed tone of voice make it seem like the city was being besieged and in a predicament?
“Then what should we do?
“It’s fine. There’s Lin Yongyi.”
Mo Lian’s words only made Qiao Mu roll her eyes exasperatedly: You’re sure that City Lord Lin isn’t secretly weeping in a corner right now?
“Qiaoqiao, wait a bit. I’ll cook some porridge for you, and then you can go sleep again after drinking some.” Mo Lian hurried out after saying this, and Qiao Mu was too late in stopping him.
After a while, in her drowsiness, Qiao Mu could feel Mo Lian carrying her up. His body was very warm, and it caused her originally icy limbs to automatically climb onto him. She hugged his waist and snuggled her face into his embrace.
He caressed her forehead with his hand, and after feeding her a bit of porridge, he stuffed a warm hand warmer near her abdomen.
He muttered several words into her ear, but Qiao Mu didn’t really hear him. What’s more, she didn’t know when he left.
When she awoke, she felt that her entire spirit was considerably rejuvenated. She felt the hand warmer against her belly, and it was still warm. She supposed that Mo Lian had switched it midway.
She got off the bed and changed her clothes. Upon opening the door for a look, it seemed that it was already afternoon.
The entire City Lord’s Estate was silent, without a bit of human activity.
Suddenly, Lightning appeared beside her like a phantom and said in a low voice, “Little Master. His Highness has instructed that you should drink a bit of hot porridge after waking up. Please wait a moment.”
Qiao Mu was indeed a bit hungry. Even though Mo Lian had fed her a large half bowl of porridge in the morning, she still felt that her tummy was a bit empty right now.
After Lightning brought over a pot of hot porridge, Qiao Mu gulped down more than half of it while also accenting it with some small side dishes. Subsequently, she finally felt that her tummy was more at ease.
“They’re all at the city gate tower?”
“A portion of the injured inside the city had mutated while still alive. As of now, His Highness is patrolling the inner city with some others.” Lightning shook his head and continued reporting, “City Lord Lin has ordered people to bring out the defense cannons. The situation is still under control at present.”
“Little Master, His Highness has said that if you still feel unwell, you should rest some more.”
“It’s fine.” Qiao Mu found a hair ribbon and casually tied her long hair with it. “Let’s go out and take a look.”
Some light exercise, in order to relax the muscles and stimulate blood circulation, was beneficial to one’s health.
“We’ll go to the city gate tower.” She wanted to see if the entire Beilan City was truly under an impervious siege!
