Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Three days later, the prince of Eastern Zhou arrived. He had not yet entered the city and was staying in a guesthouse outside the city, waiting to be received by the royal family of Eastern Mausoleum.

Unexpectedly, the Empress assigned Chu Yueli to entertain the seventh princess of Eastern Zhou, Tuoba Liuli, who was traveling with the prince.

"Why is it someone with the surname Tuoba again!" Zisu deeply loathed the surname Tuoba.

Chu Yueli laughed and said, "Tuoba Feiyuan grew up in the desert, which is near the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Maybe they were all from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty before. What's so strange about them having the same surname?"

In the blink of an eye, the carriage stopped outside the mansion.

When Chu Yueli got out of the carriage, she looked up and saw a tall and slender figure in front of the carriage not far away.

"King Mo?" Zisu saw it too, but subconsciously she still felt a bit wary.

Although Chu Yueli was somewhat surprised, she composed herself and walked towards him: "Your Highness today..."

Suddenly, a short knife flew out of the inn with a whoosh.

Just as Chu Yueli's brows furrowed slightly, she saw a long, dark sleeve sweep past her.

With a soft thud, the dagger landed on a tree trunk not far away, embedding itself deeply.

Chu Yueli was gently pulled to Lu Beimo's side. The movement was so fast that her skirt tripped at her feet, and she accidentally fell into Lu Beimo's arms.

When Lu Fengjin arrived, he saw Lu Beimo holding Chu Yueli in his arms.

Qin Wu, who was traveling with him, was dumbfounded!

This goes far beyond the boundaries between men and women.

"What are you doing?" Lu Fengjin strode over, his anger blazing.

Chu Yueli had already steadied herself and intended to leave Lu Beimo's embrace immediately.

Hearing Lu Fengjin's questioning voice, her legs went weak, and she leaned back into Lu Beimo's arms.

A knowing smile flickered across Lu Beimo's eyes. With a beauty throwing herself into his arms, there was no reason not to take advantage of the situation.

He then hugged the person even tighter.

"Ah Li, do you know what you're doing?"

Lu Fengjin strode over, grabbed Chu Yueli's arm, and pulled her out of Lu Beimo's embrace.

"Let go! You're hurting me!" Chu Yueli glared at him, displeased, and said, "What I do is none of your business, Your Highness! Don't touch me!"

"you!"

"The Fifth Prince and Miss Li should have no relationship anymore. If you don't want to cause any misunderstandings in the future, please don't touch her."

With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Beimo sent Lu Fengjin, who was holding Chu Yueli's arm, being shaken back by his internal force.

Lu Fengjin glared at him and said coldly, "Then what is the relationship between Fourth Prince and Ali?"

Lu Beimo said with a half-smile, "There's nothing special about it. It's just that I have a one-sided crush on Miss Li."

The people around were so shocked that their eyes almost rolled to the ground.

To just admit he likes Miss Li like that? This... isn't this confession a bit too childish?

Chu Yueli, the person in question, remained calm throughout, seemingly unmoved by Mo Wang's confession.

There's no such thing as being moved or not; who knows what King Mo is thinking?

I impulsively took advantage of him just now, and I don't know what kind of trouble I'll get into later.

This man is mysterious and unpredictable; it's best to stay away from him.

Lu Fengjin, however, was relieved to see that she was unmoved by Mo Wang's confession.

Over the years, Ah Li has only ever had him in her heart, and he knows that better than anyone else.

Therefore, his hostility towards Lu Beimo lessened somewhat: "How important is a young lady's reputation? Fourth Brother, please be careful with your words in the future."

"What's it to you?" Lu Beimo snorted and walked into the Xingxing Inn.

Chu Yue felt a sudden tightness in her heart.

King Mo is angry.

Just because she didn't react to his confession?
