Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Fengjin did indeed leave the Duke's mansion in a fit of rage.

But not long after getting into the carriage, he couldn't help but lift the curtain of the rear window and watch the Duke's mansion gate gradually disappear into the distance.

Feeling depressed.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "Stop!"

Qin Wu immediately stopped his horse and turned around to speak, but saw the prince suddenly lift the curtain and get down from above.

He asked with some surprise, "Where is Your Highness going?"

Lu Fengjin didn't say anything. After taking a long stride, he walked to a tree to the side and looked back at the gate in the distance.

The Duke's Mansion.

It still looks quite grand, but everyone knows that after Chu Xiaohe's accident, the Duke's mansion will soon be in dire straits.

Chu Yueli must know this very well in her heart!

"Your Highness," Qin Wu walked up behind him and said softly, "Your Highness, should I send someone to investigate what General Chu and his sister did at the Mo Prince's residence today?"

"The Mo Prince's mansion is heavily guarded. At this time, even if my men go there, it's hard to say whether they can find anything. If the person falls into the hands of my fourth brother and is handed over to Father, wouldn't I become a sinner who murdered my brother for the sake of power?"

Although he and Mo Wang were mortal enemies, even his father knew this.

However, this superficial peace must be maintained!

The Emperor absolutely will not allow anyone to disrupt this balance.

"Yes, I was rash." But seeing the prince's expression, which seemed to indicate he was in a very bad mood, Qin Wu was also anxious.

"Your Highness... are you worried that Miss Li might really side with Prince Mo?"

"Why would Fourth Brother want someone who has been by my side for so many years?" Lu Fengjin snorted coldly.

"That's not necessarily true." Qin Wu knew his words were unpleasant, but as a man, he felt it necessary to remind the prince.

"Miss Li is, after all, as beautiful as a fairy..."

Lu Fengjin's icy gaze slammed heavily onto his face.

Qin Wu was startled and very uneasy. He hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about Miss Li! Please see the truth!"

Lu Fengjin remained silent.

Qin Wu continued, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate is just... speaking the truth, Miss Li's appearance is indeed one in a million. Looking at the entire capital, no one can surpass her. With such stunning beauty, and having previously proven her innocence in front of everyone and severed ties with Your Highness, it's not so strange that Prince Mo would take a liking to her."

"How could the Emperor allow a girl who broke off her engagement with his son to marry his other son? Does he have no respect for the royal family?"

"What if King Mo doesn't intend to marry Miss Li, but only wants to possess Miss Li's body?"

"He dares!"

But even Lu Fengjin himself doubted how credible those two words really were.

He was absolutely loyal to Tuoba Feiyuan, so naturally he wouldn't touch A Li.

But who can guarantee that other men don't have designs on her?

After all, Ali was indeed the most perfect girl he had ever seen...

Lu Fengjin clenched his fists tightly.

The feeling of having someone else covet your things is like having sand stuck in your eye—it's incredibly uncomfortable!

Finally, he coldly snorted: "Although Chu Yueli is cunning, she wouldn't sell her body for a deal. I've known her for many years, and I understand her! She won't get close to Fourth Brother!"

Lu Fengjin never expected that his words would be proven wrong so quickly.
