Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Jing Lei immediately nodded: "That's right, he was promoted to Minister of the Court of Judicial Review less than three months ago."

Chu Yue felt a slight heaviness in her heart.

She had heard of this Minister of the Court of Judicial Review before, but at that time Ye Huai'an was still a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

I've heard that this man is upright and incorruptible, and he dares to be disrespectful even to the emperor.

The Emperor valued Ye Huai'an's fortitude and stubbornness, and since the previous Minister of Justice was about to retire, he made an exception and promoted Ye Huai'an to the position of the new Minister of Justice.

A new broom sweeps clean, and this time, he'll likely have to be exceptionally fair and impartial.

"Chu Yi, go and fetch my elder brother back immediately!" After giving the order, Chu Yueli looked at Jing Lei and said, "Go back and tell Ye Shaoqing that the prince and my elder brother are discussing what happened last night. Buy some time, and I will wake him up as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Jing Lei left immediately.

Chu Yi also hurriedly rode to the palace to deliver the message to Chu Xiaohe.

Following Chu Yueli's instructions, Zisu brought in a basin of hot water, only to find Lu Beimo still unconscious.

Zisu's eyes were filled with unease: "Miss, when will the Prince... wake up?"

"I'll try using acupuncture to wake him up." This method would never be used under normal circumstances, as it would be harmful to the body.

But this time, it's different.

From the moment Lu Beimo told her yesterday that the person she saw outside the cave was from his mother's clan, Chu Yueli knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later.

But things happened so quickly, completely beyond her expectations, and even Lu Beimo probably couldn't have foreseen it.

It's gotten this fast, as if there's an invisible hand controlling everything from behind the scenes.

Chu Yueli had Zisu stand guard outside the door. After wrung out a towel and wiped Lu Beimo's body, she immediately began to administer acupuncture to him.

Lu Beimo's two thick, dark eyebrows furrowed together, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead again.

Gradually, the fine sweat gathered into large beads and slid down his forehead.

The mask had been removed by Chu Yueli at some point and placed beside her bed.

She picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, but he suddenly raised his large hand and grabbed it.

"Bei Mo..."

"Ah Li, run!"

Lu Beimo suddenly opened his eyes, his originally dark eyes now carrying a trace of chaos.

Although he was not fully conscious, he knew that in this dangerous situation, he should let her leave first.

A warm feeling swept through her heart as she wrung out a towel for him: "Ye Huai'an, the Vice Minister of the Marble Court, is already at the Prince Mo's residence. Your third uncle has been arrested."

Lu Beimo closed his eyes tightly.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any sign of drowsiness in them.

"Ah Li, I have to go back."

"Eat something first. I'm afraid we're in for a tough battle." Chu Yueli helped him sit up on the bed to calm him down before saying, "You are, after all, a prince with merits. There's no need to be too polite to Ye Huai'an. A prince should always maintain his dignity."

"Although he is upright and talented, he is also proud and arrogant. You don't need to give in to him. He can't do anything to you. You might as well let him wait a little longer."

Lu Beimo looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "My wife is right. I'll listen to whatever you say. I'm not in a hurry to go back. Let's eat first."

"If you keep talking nonsense, don't come again." Chu Yueli rolled her eyes at him.

Lu Beimo was still somewhat weak; his legs remained limp and powerless when he got out of bed.

Having just been cleared of the deadly poison, he was as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and was then forcibly awakened. It was already quite difficult for him to get down and walk at this point.

"Ah Li, I'm still a patient today, so you have to give way to me. If I say I'm your wife, then I am your wife. Once I'm better, you can correct me."
