Resisting the Wind and Splendor

A person who is not loved!

These words immediately reminded people that Chu Yueli and Prince Jin were once engaged!

Chu Yueli's voice was a little hoarse, but she still knelt upright, her gaze towards the emperor remaining open and honest.

"Although my fate with Prince Jin has now come to an end, we were still acquainted at some point. I only ask that Prince Jin and Miss Tuoba... will not hurt me again in the future."

She lowered her head, and two clear tears rolled down her face.

The scene was poignant and desolate, making it impossible not to feel pity for the viewer.

"Ah Li, get up first." The Empress had been watching the commotion, but now she was truly furious.

Men's hearts have always been so cold-hearted.

Only the newcomers laugh, who ever hears the old ones cry?

Chu Yueli's situation was no different from hers.

The emperor's harem was constantly being filled, and her men and those girls were partying every night. Who knew how she endured those lonely nights in her secluded chamber?

"Fine, very well!" The Empress glared at Tuoba Feiyuan, her palms clenched in anger. "You and Prince Jin are in love, very well!"

"Mother, Yuan'er only spoke carelessly, she..."

"For your own selfish desires, you actually resorted to such humiliating means to hurt another girl! Tuoba Feiyuan, you are untamed and wild. How can my Dongling royal family tolerate a woman like you running wild here? Guards! Drag her out, give her fifty strokes of the cane, and then throw her out of the palace gates with me!"

"Mother..." Lu Fengjin said anxiously.

Yuan'er was beaten before, and she was finally a little better. If she is beaten another fifty times now, will she still be able to live?

"Mother, Yuan'er is still young and doesn't understand..."

"When I was her age, I had already married your father!" Sixteen years old is still a child? That's absurd!

"Someone come! Take him away!"

"Yes!"

Two guards came over and tried to drag Tuoba Feiyuan away.

Tuoba Feiyuan was genuinely scared at this moment; it wasn't like she hadn't been punished before.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

With so many people watching, if she begs for mercy, what kind of person will she be in everyone's eyes afterward?

"Lu Fengjin!" She could only glare at her man and call out angrily.

Lu Fengjin felt both heartache and frustration.

She really doesn't learn her lesson, she keeps doing it again and again, and now I don't know how to end this situation.

Without a moment's hesitation, Tuoba Feiyuan was dragged away.

Lu Fengjin felt extremely distressed and wanted to speak, but Consort Rui gently pressed his shoulder.

Consort Rui is now extremely uneasy and filled with suppressed anger.

She never expected that Chu Yueli had this purpose in inviting Tuoba Feiyuan to the banquet.

How did she manage to provoke Tuoba Feiyuan into a fit of rage on the spot, while still managing to act so innocent?

Everything was watertight!

This girl is only seventeen years old, yet her mind is so terrifying!

Consort Rui now only wishes that things will pass quickly.

She hurriedly helped Chu Yueli up, saying, "Ali, you've been wronged. Tonight is a celebration for Prince Mo's victory. We women shouldn't interfere with the Emperor, Prince Mo, and everyone else's enjoyment. Come, Ali, let me take you to your seat and let you rest."

But to everyone's surprise, Chu Yueli remained kneeling on the ground, kneeling upright, and Consort Rui could not lift her up at all.

Consort Rui's face darkened, and she subtly raised her voice: "Ali, Her Majesty the Empress has already dealt with Tuoba Feiyuan. If you continue like this, you will be acting willfully!"

Chu Yueli looked at the Empress with a firm expression and said, "Your Majesty, I implore you to order the servants to verify my identity! I have been well-versed in literature since childhood and received the most rigorous training in the Duke's Mansion. I value the reputation of the Duke's Mansion more than my own life! My innocence is not important, but the innocence of our Duke's Mansion must not be deliberately slandered by anyone!"
