Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Marquis Anzheng was in trouble, Duke Qin was seriously ill, and Prince Mo stayed at Duke Qin's residence overnight without returning home.

"I'm afraid they've also received news of Marquis Anzheng's accident. Duke Qin may not actually be seriously ill; perhaps he just needs to discuss some important matters."

Although Chu Yueli's expression remained calm and composed, those who knew her well knew that there was a hint of worry between her brows.

She really does care about Prince Mo.

Zisu grew up with her and knows her very well.

“Miss, since the Duke of Qin is seriously ill, shouldn’t we go and offer our condolences?” Zisu asked.

Chu Xiaohe said, "If the Duke of Qin brings Consort Yu and Prince Mo back now, the Emperor will naturally understand what's going on. If our Duke's mansion goes there now, it will be telling the Emperor that we are on the Duke of Qin's side."

“However, regarding the marriage between Miss and Prince Mo… once we ask the Emperor to grant us this marriage, he will also know about our relationship with the Duke of Qin’s mansion.”

So Zisu doesn't quite understand; whether she goes or not seems to make little difference.

Chu Xiaohe looked at Chu Yueli.

The matter concerns Prince Mo, and neither he nor Ali can ignore it. However, if they do intervene, the Emperor will have objections to their Duke's Mansion.

No one knows what the emperor will do to them in the future.

The divine will is unpredictable.

What should we do about this?

Zisu was also looking at Chu Yueli.

At crucial moments, it's still up to Chu Yueli to make the decisions.

After a long silence, Chu Yueli said, "The news has just been sent back, and the situation is still unclear. It is indeed not advisable for our Duke's Mansion to act rashly."

"Miss, I'm afraid... Prince Mo will be upset." If Prince Mo is in trouble, Miss should stand by his side without hesitation. If Miss doesn't go now, Prince Mo will be disappointed, won't he?

It's rare to see Miss meet her true love, and Zisu is really afraid that they will miss out on such a wonderful opportunity because of a misunderstanding.

Chu Xiaohe was actually worried about this as well.

Everyone in the Duke's mansion adored Prince Mo, and they were genuinely worried that there might be some misunderstanding between Ali and Prince Mo.

Chu Yueli said, "No, if the Great Demon King could misunderstand me so easily, he wouldn't be the Great Demon King."

“He certainly won’t misunderstand you, but he’s still a human being with flesh and blood, and he’ll always feel a sense of loss.” Chu Xiaohe sighed.

He himself didn't know what they should do at that moment.

Or rather, whether or not something should be done.

"Ah Li, how about we sneak off tonight?" We can't represent the Duke's mansion, but at least we can express our feelings.

Most importantly, Prince Mo has not yet come out, and we don't know his current situation.

Chu Xiaohe knew that A-Li might not say it, but she was anxious.

Chu Yueli shook her head and said, "The Duke's Mansion has been too prominent lately. Countless eyes in the capital are watching us. The news of Duke Qin's 'serious illness' has not spread yet. If we go there at this time, it will cause controversy."

Before Chu Xiaohe could continue speaking, Chu Yueli smiled and said, "Brother, you have many things to do. Don't worry about this for now."

Before Chu Xiaohe could say anything more, the voice of a guard came from outside again: "Young Master, Miss, Madam Ning requests an audience."

"Aunt Anran is here."

Chu Yueli perked up and immediately said, "Quickly, invite her in!"

She turned to look at Zisu: "Aunt Anran has been busy deploying spies lately and must be tired. Go and prepare some tea and snacks for her."
