Resisting the Wind and Splendor

That look pierced Chu Yueli's heart, leaving it a bloody mess in an instant.

They had known each other for many years and were getting married next month, but now he was contemplating murdering a girl he had only known for less than half a month.

Years of deep affection and loyalty suddenly seemed utterly laughable in the face of that fleeting glint of murderous intent in his eyes.

She couldn't help but laugh: "Does Your Highness want to avenge her?"

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Lu Fengjin gritted his teeth, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, both cold and ruthless.

Upon hearing this, Zisu panicked and rushed over immediately: "Your Highness, it has nothing to do with Miss. It was Tuoba Feiyuan who was injured first..."

"Get out!" Lu Fengjin raised his foot and kicked Zisu away hard.

Zisu fell heavily to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Zisu!" Chu Yueli suddenly came to her senses and quickly went over to help Zisu up.

Zisu wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she coughed up blood again. She couldn't catch her breath and finally fainted.

"Zisu!" Chu Yueli shouted anxiously, "Wake up!"

Zisu had been by her side since childhood. Although she was her maid, the two were as close as sisters, and Chu Yueli had long regarded her as family.

Seeing Chu Yueli's anxious and flustered appearance, Lu Fengjin's anger finally subsided somewhat.

He rarely saw Chu Yueli so panicked, and now that he saw her, his first instinct was to go over and comfort her.

Tuoba Feiyuan, held in his arms, murmured hoarsely, "You dog, you dog of a man, I...it hurts so much..."

After saying that, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Lu Fengjin stared at her pale face and the blood constantly oozing from her chest, and his pity for Chu Yueli suddenly faded considerably.

"Now that you've retaliated, no one is allowed to mention this matter again! Anyone who dares to bring it up again will be severely punished by me! You... send Zisu to get proper treatment."

After saying this, he carried the unconscious Tuoba Feiyuan and hurriedly left.

Seeing his anxious steps and his restrained, uneasy back, Chu Yueli knew how much he cared for the girl in his arms.

But at that moment, she didn't have the extra energy to think about it.

That day, after Chu Yueli settled Zisu in and had someone take care of her, she stayed by Chu Xiaohe's side.

Chu Xiaohe woke up in the evening. After waking up, he remained silent and looked blank.

Chu Yueli didn't say anything, helped him drink some water, and then let him lie down to rest.

He closed his eyes and refused to say a word.

It wasn't until midnight that Chu Xiaohe opened his eyes again, and this time, he had calmed down.

“Ali, she is now a favorite of the prince. The prince treats her as…” He sighed before continuing, “Ali, the prince only sees her as a little girl and has no other thoughts. Don’t overthink it. Your brother can see that the prince only has you in his heart.”

Chu Yue felt a sudden pang of sadness in her heart.

Even in her condition, her older brother was still thinking about comforting her.

She didn't speak, and Chu Xiaohe said in a hoarse voice, "The first day of next month is your wedding day with the prince. You have known each other for many years, and you can't be defeated by a little misunderstanding."

"Big brother, I'm fine, there's no need to comfort me." Chu Yueli held his hand and then realized that his hand was ice cold.

Just like Chu Yueli's heart, it felt cold.

"Brother, get well soon. There will definitely be a way in the future," she said softly.

"Okay." Chu Xiaohe closed his eyes again, but this time, he quietly turned his head, letting the tears he couldn't hide fall onto the other side of the pillow.

I didn't want my beloved younger sister to see it.

Chu Yueli could see it clearly, but for the sake of her elder brother's pride, she could only pretend not to see it.

For the next three days, Chu Yueli did not see Lu Fengjin again.

It wasn't until the night of the third day that Lu Fengjin walked in from outside the courtyard with heavy steps.

"Ah Li, I don't know what's wrong with me lately! Ah Li, please help me, I think I'm... possessed."
