Resisting the Wind and Splendor

When Chu Yueli's long fingers gently massaged Lu Beimo's acupoints, she could clearly hear him sigh.

It feels so comfortable and relaxing; it's a really good feeling.

If only life could be like this forever, how wonderful that would be?

"You and Consort Yu... had a conflict before?" She had paid attention to the surrounding noises and it was virtually impossible for anyone to hear their conversation.

Even if her hearing isn't good enough, there's still Prince Mo there. With two top experts, it's impossible for anyone to overhear their conversation.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to speak like that.

Lu Beimo kept his eyes closed, in such a comfortable position that he almost fell asleep after she pressed him down a couple of times.

He said, "We have differing political views."

Obviously, Chu Yue Li knew even if he didn't say it.

“I asked Eunuch An to give you some time in the hope that he could persuade you, at least to avoid a direct conflict with the Emperor.” She paused before continuing, “Regardless of what you’re thinking.”

"Ali," Lu Beimo suddenly called out.

Chu Yueli looked down at his face. He kept his eyes closed and looked extremely peaceful and comfortable.

"Hmm?" She increased the pressure of her fingers, making him feel even more relaxed and comfortable.

"Ah Li, if you were me, what would you do?"

"Do you really want me to say something?" Chu Yueli raised an eyebrow. "What if I disagree with someone you care about?"

"I want to listen to you now." Lu Beimo reached out and hugged her slender waist.

"Your Highness, this behavior is excessive," Chu Yueli scolded playfully.

But he didn't care, he just held her even tighter.

Chu Yueli didn't really stop them. Oh well, anyway, they were getting married in half a month.

As long as it's not too outrageous, it's fine.

"The country is now stable. The Lu family's rule is what the people want. I've heard my grandfather talk about the three Lu brothers back then. They were truly heroes that are rare to see in ten thousand years. Especially the third master, Lu Lingfeng."

“He is my master,” Lu Beimo said softly.

Chu Yueli was stunned. She looked down at his perfect profile and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

I've never heard of this before!

Unexpectedly, the Great Demon King's master was none other than the Third Master of the Lu family.

Back then, whenever my grandfather talked about the third master of the Lu family, his eyes would light up, which showed how much he admired him.

Chu Yueli truly never expected that the legendary figure was actually Lu Beimo's master.

"But he is your great-uncle, don't they know that?" The "they" referred to were, of course, other members of the Lu royal family.

“My master loved beauty more than power. He and my master’s wife traveled around for a long time and never cared about the affairs of the court. Not many people knew about my relationship with him, not even my mother or my father.”

Chu Yue felt a strange, indescribable flutter in her heart: "So, you also envy your master's life, don't you?"

He loves beauty more than power!

Back then, Master Lu was the most capable one. If he wanted, the empire would definitely fall into his hands, but he didn't want to.

All he wanted was to be with the woman he loved, traveling the world and living a carefree life.

“This is indeed the life I want to live, but I still have a mission on my shoulders. The northern frontier has just been pacified, and the southern Mongolia has not yet been recovered. How can I give up everything like my master and live the life I want to live?”

"Your master also left after completing his mission and stabilizing the Eastern Mausoleum, didn't he?"

She raised her long finger and gently tapped his forehead: "So, as long as you believe, you will definitely get everything you want."
