Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The Qiankun Palace has finally returned to complete peace.

After Chu Yueli left with her people, everyone was still somewhat uneasy at first, and no one dared to sleep peacefully.

and so on.

Let's wait and see if there are any further changes. For example, perhaps this is just Chu Yueli being deliberately mysterious.

But this wait turned into a long wait for everyone.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours.

The palace maids and eunuchs finally fell asleep one after another.

In less than an hour, it will be dawn.

There was no change at all.

Finally, even Granny Lan and the Empress gave up. Apart from the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the Empress's palace who were still on duty, Granny Lan herself couldn't help but go back to her room to rest.

The sky will soon be bright.

The surroundings, however, remained gray and gloomy.

As dawn approaches, people are at their most tired and their defenses are at their most relaxed.

A figure, taking advantage of the hazy fog, scaled over the high wall of Qiankun Palace.

Just as the palace guards were changing shifts, and the city gate guards were at their most relaxed and lazy of the day, the man, hiding under a manure cart, escaped from the palace without any hindrance.

After leaving the palace, she didn't stop for a moment, quickly finding the nearest companion by following the marks left by her accomplices in the shadows.

It was a guesthouse called Qingfangzhai.

At this time, the guests and girls were all resting, and it was quiet upstairs and downstairs.

It's almost dawn.

As she climbed through the window to enter, the person inside became alert, and a gleaming knife was placed against her neck.

“It’s me!” she said quickly.

The large knife was put away, and the man in the room said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

"Chu Yueli has already begun to suspect me. If I don't leave, I'll fall into her hands."

"Chu Yueli?"

“That’s right. They found out where the master is last night. Master, it’s not safe here anymore. If we don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave either.”

"What nonsense are you spouting? Master is perfectly fine... Oh no! You've fallen for their trap!" The man immediately turned around, walked to the bedside, picked up a mask, and put it on his face: "Go!"

But as soon as they opened the window, suddenly, with a whoosh, a gust of cold wind rushed in.

The two men used all their strength to retaliate with their palms, but they were no match for even a tenth of their opponent's power.

With a series of sharp slaps, the two men were knocked to the ground, and the man's mask fell off.

Suddenly, a series of rapid hoofbeats came from below Qingfangzhai, and the entire Qingfangzhai was soon surrounded by a group of people.

The two men struggled to their feet before they could clearly see the person who had entered through the window.

"Prince Mo?" The palace maid had seen Lu Beimo before. She recognized his stunningly beautiful yet chilling face beneath the half-mask, and his sharp gaze that could completely intimidate you with just one look. She would recognize him even if he turned to ashes.

“Lu…Bei Mo?” The gray-clad man’s heart tightened. He disregarded his companion, turned around, opened the door, and tried to escape.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, another blast of suffocating cold air rushed in.

The man was powerless to fight back and fell heavily to the ground with a thud. This time, he couldn't even get up.

"Chu... Yue Li..." The palace maid subconsciously stepped back, but there was no direction to escape behind her.

Standing by the window was Lu Beimo, and standing at the door was Chu Yueli. Judging from the strength of their palm strikes just now, the palace maid knew that she had nowhere to escape today!
