Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"But he never expected that the thing he had always regretted would have a turn for the better, that your face was completely unharmed."

Consort Yu laughed again, the smile spreading from her lips but not reaching her eyebrows.

"But Prince Jin's legs, I don't think they're so perfect. Don't you need to sit down and rest after standing for a long time? I bet he must be very tired from standing."

Lu Beimo didn't respond to these words; he hadn't looked that closely.

However, Ali had said that Lu Fengjin's leg had not fully healed, and he believed it, but he did not expect that his mother had observed it so carefully.

Finally, Consort Yu added, "I guess he must be regretting it now, but the marriage decree has already been made and cannot be changed. He can go with the flow and see who has the real strength between you and Prince Jin."

"What exactly does Mother Consort want me to do?" Lu Beimo suddenly felt a little tired.

He wanted to go back and talk to Ali.

Even if you do nothing but talk, that's good too.

He drank quite a bit tonight and shielded his older brother from a lot of drinks; he's actually very tired right now.

"Are you so afraid of your mother?" Consort Yu glared at him again.

Lu Beimo pursed his lips and remained silent.

Consort Yu was furious and picked up a cup, throwing it at him.

Lu Beimo neither dodged nor avoided the cup, which, along with the tea, smashed onto him and splashed all over the floor.

He caught the cup and casually placed it aside: "There are countless eyes watching Mother Consort in her palace. Since you are meeting me quietly at night, don't make such a commotion."

Consort Yu closed her eyes tightly, trying to regulate her breathing.

When will this calm, serene face finally crack with emotion?

"Only Ali could drive you crazy!" She couldn't help but sigh. "I gave birth to you and raised you, but in the end, you mean nothing to me."

“You are my mother.” Lu Beimo said calmly.

Consort Yu was still very angry, but also very helpless.

"Are you still resentful about what your mother forced you to do back then?" Seeing that her son didn't speak, Consort Yu knew that he had indeed been holding a grudge all along.

“Back then, your eldest brother was still alive. Your father clearly wanted to make your eldest brother the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future. He never thought that this country originally belonged to the Qin family.”

Under those circumstances, what was wrong with her planning with her father and brothers?

"Haven't you ever thought about it? Everything your mother did was for you."

In the end, all she wanted was for him to become emperor and to fight for the best power for him. Why was he not only ungrateful, but also distanced himself from her after learning that she and her maternal clan had rebellious intentions?

Originally, he and Yunfei had a very good relationship, and he listened to her in everything.

Just because they knew she wanted to rebel!

He even personally destroyed everything she had planned for years, disbanded her underground army, and took her most skilled personal guards to the northern frontier, where they eventually became his men!

This son is constantly undermining her!

"Has Mother ever considered that I may not like the path you have paved for me?"

"Have you ever considered that if you don't become emperor, my Qin family will be wiped out? Do you understand?" Consort Yu said angrily.

Lu Beimo remained calm throughout, meeting her gaze with a gentler tone: "Your subject has already bought a large house in the Northern Frontier and settled everything. As long as Mother Consort and Grandfather are willing, you can go to the Northern Frontier at any time and live a peaceful life."
