Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yue Li ignored him.

When she left, Liu Yun escorted her to the front yard, and along the way, he did not forget to explain on behalf of his prince: "Since the prince entered the Northern Frontier, he has hardly had a good night's sleep in all these years. The fact that the prince can sleep peacefully here with Miss Li is the prince's true feeling."

"Are you saying that it's right for an unmarried woman like me to let a man stay overnight?" Chu Yueli rolled her eyes at him.

Liu Yun quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

The explanation is good, but what the prince said was truly from the bottom of his heart!

When Chu Yue left the hall, Ye Huai'an was still waiting quietly.

However, it was already late, and Ye Huai'an had a slight concern: "Miss Li, how about I send someone to pick you up tomorrow?"

"No need. My current identity is the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, not some Miss Li. My visit to the Dali Temple at night is for the public good. Why should I fear what others might say?"

Chu Yueli waved her hand and said, "Please."

He was the first to walk out of the hall.

Ye Huai'an looked at her back. She was clearly slender and fragile, yet upright and proud. Her temperament was contradictory, yet also very gentle.

They left the Duke's mansion and went straight to the Dali Temple, without exchanging any words along the way.

It was clear that Ye Huai'an had only come to invite the Prince of Mo to the Dali Temple today; he had only brought two constables with him.

"Why did you insist on bringing Prince Mo here before questioning him, Young Master Ye? You could have asked the Prince at the Duke's mansion if you had any questions."

The moment Chu Yueli stepped into the Dali Temple, she could clearly feel a solemn and chilling aura.

How many people have died in this place? No one knows how many wronged souls have perished here throughout history.

"The Duke's mansion is ultimately outside the capital. This matter is extraordinary. If we cannot go to the Dali Temple to ask questions, I will not speak of it outside." Ye Huai'an led Chu Yueli into the main hall of the Dali Temple.

"Please have some tea," he instructed.

Chu Yueli's treatment at this moment was quite obvious; she was being treated as a guest.

Tea was immediately served, and then all the other people left, leaving only the assistant secretary beside Ye Huai'an.

The official in charge was holding a document book, which meant that every word Chu Yueli said would be recorded.

Chu Yueli sat up straight and said, "Please ask me anything, Shaoqing. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

From then on, Ye Huai'an asked the questions, and Chu Yueli answered them.

Indeed, as she said, she spoke frankly and without any concealment.

"So, Prince Mo did indeed see Marquis Jian'an last night? Why has this been kept a secret all this time?" Ye Huai'an hadn't expected her to recount the events in such detail.

It seems as if they really held nothing back.

Chu Yueli frowned, clearly disagreeing with his explanation: "First of all, this happened when I was separated from the prince. I went up to meet Commander Wan's men, while the prince stayed in the cave to observe the enemy situation. I was unaware of what the prince saw and heard, and could not report to anyone. Furthermore, the prince was poisoned and injured afterward. Although he woke up once during that time, he was listless and dispirited."

"What a noble status His Highness is! He was in poor condition, how could we dare to ask him anything? It wasn't until evening when His Highness woke up again that he told us about it. So, there is no question of withholding information. Young Master Ye, you've gone too far."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault." Ye Huai'an immediately realized his mistake and glanced back at Si Cheng.

Si Cheng nodded and continued writing.

After Chu Yueli finished speaking, she said, "Prince Mo doesn't know why Marquis Jian'an was there either. He originally wanted to chase after him to find out what happened, but he was poisoned and injured while trying to save the Marquis. I wonder what the Marquis's condition is now? Was he injured last night? Did he say anything about why he was with those bandits?"
