Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"The leader has always been in the capital; you just don't know it."

Tuoba Mingyue's words carried a hint of sarcasm, which stung the black-clad sect leader's heart.

It seems she knows quite a lot.

He was unwilling to accept it, but at least for now, he didn't need to have a conflict with her.

"What are your plans for the next step?" the black-clad sect leader asked.

Tuoba Mingyue laughed: "Are you asking me a question? Or are you seeking advice?"

"Tuoba Mingyue!"

“After last night, I am more useful than you. If you still can’t see the current situation clearly, then you should leave the capital as soon as possible and go back to your hometown to live a normal life.” Tuoba Mingyue smiled coldly.

The black-clad sect leader took a deep breath and almost vomited blood again.

But he eventually calmed down.

His mission failed, and this was the time when he was most likely to be abandoned by the cult leader. Indeed, it was not advisable to have any further disputes with her.

"Since you've taken me in, you must need me. Tell me, what do you want me to do? We can cooperate."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Mingyue's smile finally faded: "Great! My target is the King of Ink. Either take him down or destroy him! Your status in the capital is special, so you just need to cooperate with me, and I'll make the arrangements for you."

……

During this operation, a total of eleven thunderbolts, a pile of gunpowder and saltpeter used to make thunderbolts, and three barrels of black oil were seized.

Of those arrested, three were directly involved in the production of the grenades.

The Dragon Guard handed the people over to Ye Huai'an, so Ye Huai'an had some goodwill towards Chu Xiaohe and his sister.

These three people are extremely important to many people. If such talents fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, they will surely cause great chaos.

"It seems that Ye Shaoqing means these people should remain imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison indefinitely, awaiting the Emperor's next instructions," Chu Yi relayed Chu Xiaohe's words.

He was somewhat puzzled: "Young Master said that the Censorate might come to snatch people away. Should we get involved in this matter?"

"It's none of our business; it's a matter for the royal family and their various factions."

Chu Yueli waved her hand, unwilling to discuss the topic: "Where is my elder brother? Is he staying in the palace tonight?"

"We don't know what's going on with the Seventh Princess yet. The eldest young master hasn't come out since, but I heard... I heard it's not good."

"Even you don't know?" Chu Yueli was somewhat taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll go take a look later. You go ahead and do your work."

"Yes."

After Chu Yi left, Chu Yueli walked in.

As soon as I went in, I was completely dumbfounded.

"What...does this mean?" When did her bedroom become like this?

They just replaced the large table, which is fine, but why are there so many more things?

Bookshelves, cabinets, writing implements, and various letters on the desk.

The person who caused this phenomenon was sitting behind his desk, reviewing official documents.

Chu Yueli frowned, feeling an urge to curse, but when he saw that I had returned, he immediately put down his pen, his face beaming with joy.

She couldn't bring herself to curse.

"Ah Li, you're back? I've been waiting for you for so long! Are you hungry? I'll have someone prepare some pastries for you."

She looks just like a young woman waiting for her husband to return.

She didn't speak, so Lu Beimo called out, "Someone come here."

Liu Yun appeared as if she were always by his side, appearing instantly and in the blink of an eye, she had a table full of snacks brought over.

It was clearly prepared in advance; they were all her favorite pastries.

Lu Beimo took her hand and led her to the table: "Wipe your hands and have a good taste."

Chu Yueli exhaled and looked at him: "Your Highness, I think your injuries have almost healed."

The implication is that you should get out of here.
