Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"So, Mother Consort isn't angry anymore?" Chu Yueli breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she appeared very calm and composed, she was actually quite nervous.

Yu Fei is Lu Bei Mo's mother, and as her daughter-in-law, she didn't want to see Yu Fei so sad.

After all, he was her own son. He had only been back for a short time, and the mother and son hadn't even had a chance to warm up to each other for a few days before he was leaving again, this time to the most dangerous region of Southern Mongolia.

Southern Mongolia was not as dangerous as the northern frontier back then, but after the Khitans entered and took control of Southern Mongolia, it became a territory that no one dared to touch.

Furthermore, since even the Marquis of Zhongyong and his wife failed to return alive from Nanmeng, Nanmeng has become synonymous with a terrifying place.

The Eastern Mausoleum Army had a large number of soldiers, but over the years, none of them had dared to challenge the Khitans.

Prince Mo had just returned from the northern frontier, and everyone was feeling uneasy about his trip to Southern Mongolia.

On the one hand, they hoped that their Northern Frontier King could take over Southern Mongolia in one fell swoop, allowing the people of Dongling who were living in dire straits in Southern Mongolia to return to the embrace of the great Dongling nation. On the other hand, they were also afraid.

If even Prince Mo is defeated, then no one will dare to touch Nanmeng anymore.

The most terrifying thing is that when everyone is afraid of the Khitans, if the Khitans invade, their Dongling territory will once again face the crisis of loss.

Who would dare to confront the Khitans?

Therefore, Lu Beimo faced great pressure when he went to Southern Mongolia. He not only had to rescue the surviving soldiers of the Chu family army, whose existence was uncertain, but also had to drive away the Khitans.

If he returns without achieving anything, the people will be disappointed.

But the responsibility for making any significant achievements is much greater.

The pressure on him is unimaginable, given that no one has been able to do it or even dared to attempt it for so many years.

Consort Yu lowered her eyes and slowly ate her steamed egg custard.

It has a sweet taste with a hint of coolness. After eating it, my throat not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but actually felt quite soothed.

The imperial physician advised her to avoid sweets during this period, but here, she could not only eat them, but also ate them freely.

She looked at Chu Yueli and said, "I'm angry because this bastard didn't say a word, didn't want to discuss it with me, and even had his own younger brother help him keep it from me before leaving like that."

She didn't even have time to rush back to see her son before he went to war and say a few words to him.

Chu Yueli said softly, "The prince is afraid that you, Mother, will be angry and upset if you see him. After all, he has already received the imperial decree to go to war, and even if you want to stop him, it will be in vain."

Consort Yu's temper is actually quite similar to Lu Beimo's; when she gets angry, she can be quite fierce.

"However, he still doesn't understand you, Mother. Since he knows he can't stop it, even if Mother is angry, she won't really do anything reckless, right?"

"Are you reminding me not to do anything reckless?" Consort Yu glared at her.

Chu Yueli smiled and reassured him, "Indeed, we are a little scared. Although Mother Consort has returned the military power to Father Emperor, Mother Empress's maternal clan still holds military power. The Prince and I are afraid that you, Mother Consort, will lose your composure and lead the troops directly to Southern Mongolia."

Consort Yu remained silent.

Upon learning that her son had gone to war, she did consider asking her father for troops to support him in southern Mongolia.

But she still held back.

Now, after throwing a tantrum, he smashed everything, whether he should or shouldn't have.

After smashing it, I finally calmed down.

She said quietly, "This is his best chance."
