The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking Chapter 55 - Soul Returning Pearl

The black eagle thought that Xia Muqing didn’t want it anymore, and it clung to her arm nervously.

Xia Muqing also knew that it was afraid. After all, in order to restrain its behavior, she had never stopped talking about abandoning it.

She rubbed it guiltily and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. I just want you to do me a favor. Go to the mountains and investigate the news of the Soul Returning Pearl’s birth.”

Only then did the black eagle nod with relief. It spread its wings and soared into the sky.

Xia Muqing entered the room and glanced at the little fox wrapped in the cotton cloth. It was still so small and its eyes were tightly shut.

She stroked its head with concern in her eyes. She wondered if it was dangerous for it to continue sleeping like this.

She became even more anxious about the news of the Soul Returning Pearl.

Sighing, she walked out of the room and saw Tian Meng marching into the courtyard with her servants.

Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows but she didn’t leave her room. She leaned against the door and shouted, “Isn’t that Tian Meng the beauty? Why are you here to look for me?”

Tian Meng blushed at her unruly behavior.

She glared at her angrily and snapped, “Why did His Highness lavish you with so many rewards?”

She studied the three huge boxes on the ground with jealousy blazing in her eyes.

Xia Muqing chuckled and asked, “How did you know?”

Tian Meng was stunned and replied honestly, “Lady Tie told me.”

Xia Muqing asked, “Who is Lady Tie?”

Tian Meng replied, “She’s His Highness’ concubine.”

After a round of questioning, Tian Meng frowned and said, “Don’t talk to me about other stuff. Are you interested in His Highness?”

Xia Muqing walked straight to a box, picked up a hairpin inside and asked, “Do you like it?”

Tian Meng took it that she was showing off. She turned her face and said arrogantly, “I’m the eldest daughter of the Tian family. What have I not seen before?”

Xia Muqing inserted the hairpin into her hair and praised, “Very pretty.”

Tian Meng’s face turned crimson. Seeing that the admiration in Xia Muqing’s eyes was sincere, she was even more helpless.

She stammered, “His Highness is mine. Don’t even think about snatching him from me.”

With that said, she fled with the servants.

Xia Muqing looked at the departing figure and chuckled gently. What a cute girl.

Looking at the boxes on the ground, Xia Muqing beckoned for the soldiers guarding the courtyard and instructed them.

The soldiers who had just witnessed everything had a strange expression on their faces. They looked at the boxes on the ground, then at Xia Muqing as she returned to her room. They then carried the boxes away as instructed.

With everyone in the entire King’s residence eyeing them, they arrived at Tian Meng’s room. They put down the boxes on the ground. When they saw Tian Meng walking out, one of them announced, “These are the jewels that Physician Xia has gifted to Concubine Tian Meng. Physician Xia wants me to pass a message to you.”

His expression changed while his good-looking face flushed red, and he seemed to be unable to speak.

Tian Meng looked at the soldier curiously, which made the soldier even more nervous.

Swallowing his saliva, he said, “Physician Xia said that Miss Tian Meng is the most adorable girl she has ever met. Beautiful jewels should be matched with beauties.”

With that, he looked at the shyness appearing on Tian Meng’s face.

The soldier had a strange feeling that their king had been cuckolded.

And he was cuckolded by a woman. The most important thing was that the jewels were given by their king.

The soldiers marched off weakly.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire manor.

Especially the proclamation, which was passed on from one to another.

Those who didn’t know the details would think that Physician Xia was a man. Everyone was waiting for their king’s response.

But there was dead silence on his side.

Tian Meng looked at the boxes in the courtyard. She was embarrassed and angry, but at the same time she was also a little overjoyed.

It wasn’t because she had any feelings for Xia Muqing, but because this was the first time she had been praised by a woman.

With a snort, she pretended to be arrogant. “It’s such an eyesore. Put the boxes in the storeroom.”

The servants around her were all from the Tian family, and they naturally knew her temper.
