Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli waited quietly until Consort Rui finished her tirade and lost interest before slowly speaking: "First of all, whether Prince Jin was attacked by the Black Wolves while trying to save me remains to be verified."

"Secondly, it's not that I haven't visited him; I did go once. Of course, it was because I was the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, and I had the obligation to visit the prince."

"In the end, it was I who saved Prince Jin from the brink of death. If it weren't for me, the prince would have been eaten by the black wolf."

She stared at Consort Rui's pale face and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, please make sure you understand these three points."

"you!"

"Your Majesty, you've been in the harem for many years, you should know very well that the harem is not a place for arguing. If arguing could win you anything, wouldn't all the ladies of the harem become loudmouths?"

Consort Rui was choked and couldn't utter a single word.

Although she hated Chu Yueli to the core, she couldn't refute a single word he said.

Her own son wanted to save her, but Chu Yue Li didn't need her son to save her at all.

In the end, he failed to save her and was instead rescued by Chu Yueli. This hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story became a joke in the end!

What could she complain about? That her son wasn't capable enough? But how could she bear to?

Finally, Consort Rui lowered her eyelids, her gaze dimming: "If that's the case, why did you come here to see me? Did you really come just to laugh at me?"

"I have no feelings for you, Your Majesty. Watching you make a fool of yourself doesn't satisfy any of my emotional needs."

Therefore, there is absolutely no need for it.

She stood up to leave, a move that puzzled Consort Rui.

"What exactly are you here for?" Consort Rui also stood up.

"Nothing much, just came to pay my respects to Your Highness." Then, she really left, leaving Consort Rui alone, feeling angry, frustrated, and anxious.

As they left Chunhe Palace, Zisu looked puzzled: "Miss, why didn't you ask about the medicinal herbs?"

Zisu's status is different now; she is not only Chu Yueli's maid but also Chu Yueli's assistant.

Therefore, wherever Chu Yueli can go, Zisu can go too.

This little girl is very good at organizing and collecting information. With her around, Chu Yueli can save a lot of time dealing with trivial matters.

The only downside is that he's a bit too talkative.

"If she really did it, she won't tell the truth even if you ask her. If she didn't do it, asking her is pointless."

"That young lady..."

"I was just teasing her. Now she's as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, isn't that good?" Chu Yueli looked ahead. "Let's go see the Empress."

Zisu followed behind her, thought for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

How could Miss not have feelings for Consort Rui? Miss hates Consort Rui!

Consort Rui had personally orchestrated the spread of those vile rumors, almost ruining Miss's reputation. Miss may appear gentle and compliant, but she is very clear about her grudges and can even be described as someone who holds grudges.

If the hardships endured are not repaid, the young lady will not be happy.

Consort Rui is extremely anxious. The more her mistress remains silent, the more suspicious Consort Rui becomes. In the next few days, Consort Rui will likely find it difficult to have any peace of mind.

Zisu suddenly remembered the female assassin who was executed, and the rumors circulating outside that everyone was praising Prince Mo's wisdom while despising Prince Jin to death.

When it comes to being stingy and seeking revenge, doesn't it seem like Prince Mo and their young lady are so similar?

Don't offend them. If you offend them, the retaliation will come again and again, killing you and destroying your spirit. It's terrifying!
