Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“I didn’t peek on purpose; he just didn’t wear a mask when he came out.”

Even now, Zisu still feels lingering fear whenever she thinks of Prince Mo's face.

Last night, I almost screamed.

Although she didn't scream, Prince Mo still saw her. Now that her secret has been discovered, will she be silenced?

but……

"Miss, you have already seen his true face?"

The person came from the young lady's tent; if they were to be silenced, the young lady would be the first to be targeted.

However, it seems that Prince Mo is acting strangely towards our young lady; her clothes are disheveled.

Zisu suddenly widened her eyes: "Miss, he was with you last night... with you..."

"Nothing was done! Don't overthink it!" However, Zisu didn't see any indescribable parts of that guy's body. Overall, Chu Yueli was in a good mood.

Zisu's heart was still heavy.

There was always some grudge between Prince Mo and their young lady, but recently, Prince Mo's behavior towards their young lady has been very unusual.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.

"Did he say anything to you last night, Miss?" Since his true face has been seen, surely he must have said something threatening?

I wonder what King Mo is really thinking.

Chu Yueli's face was still a little red. She shook her head and said, "Today's competition is very important to us. Let's stop thinking nonsense and go listen to what new changes the Emperor has made to the rules."

"Understood!" Zisu was very serious and cautious, so she also changed into a close-fitting outfit today.

If things remain largely the same as before, then although she and Chu Yi are not qualified to participate in the competition, they will still have to go in and carry the prey out.

There is always danger, because today we are going to the wild beast zone, where ferocious beasts often frequent.

"Ah Li!" Huo Qing came to greet them as soon as they stepped out of the camp area: "Come on, everyone is waiting for you."

Huo Qing today is clearly different from when she first arrived yesterday.

Yesterday I was quite shy, but today I'm very comfortable and have completely blended in with everyone.

Chu Yueli took her hand and they came together to the Duke's mansion's procession.

Looking up, I saw a figure sitting in a chair drinking tea not far away.

Chu Yueli glanced at it only once before quickly looking away.

Zisu, however, was terrified.

She put the mask back on; she still clearly didn't want anyone to see her true face.

But that fleeting glimpse last night has left an indelible mark on my heart.

With such good looks, even princes like Prince Jin and the Third Prince of Dongzhou pale in comparison. Why is he unwilling to reveal such a face to the world?

Moreover, when the young lady and the young master were talking, they mentioned that his disfigurement greatly affected the emperor's decision on choosing an heir.

Wouldn't letting the Emperor know that he wasn't disfigured be more beneficial to Mo Wang's future development? Why not? What is Mo Wang really thinking?

Even someone as intelligent as Chu Yueli couldn't figure out this problem.

In the distance, Lu Beimo's gaze suddenly fell upon them.

Zisu was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe and quickly tugged at Chu Yueli's sleeve.

Chu Yueli didn't want to pay any attention to him. Even now, seeing him still made her feel a slight swelling in her chest, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Such intimacy is shameful! She and Lu Fengjin have known each other for so many years, but they have never been this close before.

She was just very puzzled as to why, when she got close to Lu Beimo, she always felt that he had a familiar and captivating aura about him, which made her lose her ability to think.

Where does this familiarity come from?
