Thinking of what Madam Xia had just said.
Just a few days ago, I found an orange-red gemstone.
That means this thing.
It wasn't something inherited from her family.
"Go and check again to find out which shop in the capital city Madam Xia bought this stone in the past two days."
"Your Majesty, you suspect that Madam Xia..." Bin'er's mouth gaped open in shock: "...that she wants to harm you?"
Consort Shu did not speak, her eyes gradually narrowing.
Actually, she was even more suspicious.
Someone wants to use the Xia family to harm Mu Qianqian.
Consort Shu's eyes darkened.
She originally thought that as long as she didn't compete or fight, she could live a peaceful life in the harem.
In retrospect, she was really too naive.
From the midwife who gave birth to Mu Qianqian, there were assassinations, poisonings, and hidden arrows—one after another, these incidents occurred.
Since they are capable of doing it.
Don't be afraid that she won't tolerate them.
Her repeated concessions and attempts to appease the situation only resulted in those people becoming even more aggressive.
This time, they used someone else to do their dirty work.
So what about next time?
Consort Shu's hands were clenched into fists at her sides.
Mu Qianqian has been born for so long.
This was the first time I had ever seen such an expression on Consort Shu's face.
She held Consort Shu's face with both hands, somewhat worried.
[Mother, don't be afraid.]
I will definitely protect my mother.
Consort Shu smiled with satisfaction.
But that smile looked even uglier than crying.
Consort Shu seemed to understand that Mu Qianqian was trying to comfort her, and affectionately nuzzled Mu Qianqian's head with her own.
Seeing Consort Shu's anxious expression.
Mu Qianqian truly regretted not being able to grow up overnight.
Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something. She turned to look out the window and muttered to herself for a while.
In no time at all.
With the clear calls of larks.
[Mommy, look!]
Consort Shu looked out the window in the direction her finger was pointing.
A flock of larks flew in a straight line, then a V-shape, and then in a circle above the courtyard of Qiluan Garden.
The clear and melodious birdsong echoed throughout the entire Qiluan Garden.
Even the giant Kunpeng, which had been lying flat in the courtyard of Qiluan Garden, suddenly perked up. It straightened its body and shook its wings, ready to take flight.
"What a beautiful bird!"
"Where did all these birds come from? Are they from the Bird Bureau?"
"I don't think we've ever seen so many larks in our palace before."
"These birds have no markings on their feet, so they probably didn't come from the palace. They must have flown in from outside the palace."
"So larks really can sing!"
Consort Shu was surprised and hurriedly carried Mu Qianqian out.
Mu Qianqian pointed at the lark in the sky and made it chirp, as if she was trying to curry favor with Consort Shu.
Consort Shu's originally troubled mood was instantly halved by the melodious songs of these larks.
Mu Qianqian raised one arm.
The lead lark quickly broke away from the flock and landed in Mu Qianqian's hand.
It doesn't seem to be afraid of people at all.
Still standing in Mu Qianqian's palm, it grew taller and more beautiful.
Consort Shu was stunned.
She glanced at Mu Qianqian, then at the lark.
She deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Did Qianqian summon these birds? Did Qianqian summon them to appease her mother?"
Mu Qianqian giggled.
Although she didn't say anything.
But the song of the lark seemed to answer her question.
She had always known that Mu Qianqian possessed certain unique qualities that set her apart from ordinary people.
