Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Upon hearing this, the surrounding guards exchanged bewildered glances.

Is this... really going to lead us to Miss Li? Miss Li is the apple of King Mo's eye; who in the palace doesn't know that?

Moreover, she is a delicate and gentle young lady, so pitiful that she could hardly have hurt the Ninth Prince.

On the contrary, the Ninth Prince looked fierce and menacing, and was even carrying a weapon, making him seem more like the one bullying others.

Seeing that everyone remained unmoved, Lu Yunfei frowned and said unhappily, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

Everyone remained hesitant.

Chu Yueli looked at Lu Yunfei and smiled, "Ninth Prince, you say I injured you, do you have any evidence? Where was Ninth Prince injured?"

"You just knocked me to the ground!" Lu Yunfei said angrily.

Chu Yueli's smile deepened: "Is that so? Didn't you trip and fall because you weren't watching where you were going, Your Highness? Are you injured?"

Lu Yunfei was slightly taken aback. He looked down at himself and then touched his chest.

It seems he really wasn't injured, but he did fall very hard just now!

He fell so hard that he made a crater in the ground, yet he wasn't hurt at all.

"Besides," Chu Yueli stared at his face, which was even fairer than Lu Beimo's, still smiling faintly, "how could a weak woman like me possibly defeat you, Ninth Prince? Does the Ninth Prince mean to say that you are not even as good as a little woman like me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn't ambushed me, how could I have fallen for it?" Lu Yunfei was naturally unwilling to admit that he was inferior to her.

That vixen is indeed cunning and scheming!

She caused her fourth brother to be trapped in the northern frontier for so many years. After her fourth brother returned, he not only did not seek revenge on her, but even protected her in every way!

This enchantress must know some kind of magic to have bewitched her fourth brother!

How could he allow her to continue harming his fourth brother?

“Of course I am not as good as you, Ninth Prince. If you hadn’t tripped and fallen just now, I’m afraid you would have beaten me to death.”

Chu Yueli looked terrified, but anyone with eyes could see that she was actually smiling very happily.

"However, Ninth Prince, although you are a prince, you carry weapons with you in the palace. If the Emperor finds out about this, I wonder if he will be angry?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding guards immediately changed their expressions and retreated one by one.

This matter must not be known to the Emperor.

The Emperor knew that they would be blamed for their dereliction of duty, but if they insisted on removing the sword from the Ninth Prince's waist, he didn't know if the Ninth Prince would hold a grudge.

Either way, it's a lose-lose situation!

"Your Highness, Miss Li is leaving the palace. I will escort her out immediately." The head guard hurried over and said, "Miss Li, I will see you out."

How could Lu Yunfei not know that everyone was protecting Chu Yueli?

He just couldn't understand why even the guards were protecting her, which was one thing for his fourth brother to be infatuated with Chu Yueli.

"Witch, I will not hold this against you in the palace today." He did not want to cause trouble for his mother and fourth brother, but he would never let this go.

"You caused my fourth brother to be trapped in the northern frontier for five whole years, making my mother worry about him every day. This revenge must be taken!"

Chu Yue's heart stirred slightly.

It is indeed cruel to separate a mother and son, or brothers, for five years.

However, despite her pity, she couldn't stop talking: "Ninth Prince, I advise you not to have any ill intentions towards me. If your Fourth Brother finds out, he will beat you to death."
