Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli didn't know how much longer she could live.

She glanced at Zisu and sighed helplessly, "If it weren't for her strong will, she might not be here anymore."

"What?" Zisu was startled and stumbled.

She really hadn't expected that Miss Biao's health condition had deteriorated to this extent!

"But every day when I see her, she's all smiles and seems very happy, she..."

"She was a very, very good girl. She never wanted anyone to see her pain. Even if she only had one day left to live, she could still face everyone with a smile. But in fact, she had been enduring all kinds of physical pain. Given her current condition, she would probably feel uncomfortable even if she took just one step."

"And she even pestered the Ninth Prince to take her out for a walk..." Zisu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and tears almost rolled down her cheeks for this little girl who was clearly suffering but still lived such a sunny life.

She truly couldn't imagine how someone suffering from a serious illness and tormented by the pain of the disease could smile at everyone.

How much suffering did she endure in secret?

Chu Yueli looked at the sky and smiled, "There's no need to feel sad for her. She's already trying her best to live each day to the fullest, so we should also try our best to live each day to the fullest."

Zisu didn't say anything more, she just nodded.

Before I even stepped into the courtyard, I saw Jing Lei rushing over.

Chu Yue went to greet her.

Jing Lei said in a low voice, "Your Highness, as you predicted, we have indeed found a new stronghold."

Chu Yueli's eyes darkened slightly.

Zisu was somewhat surprised: "What base?"

Speaking of strongholds, I recall the day Miss and Prince Mo went to investigate the Thunderbolt Bomb stronghold.

Although Zisu had not experienced it firsthand, she could imagine the danger at that time.

Those thunderbolts, just a few of them could completely destroy the palace where the Third Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty lives. If Miss were to accidentally touch one, wouldn't that be very dangerous?

"Miss……"

"You go back and do your thing. Jing Lei and I are going out for a bit." Chu Yue Li didn't have a chance to explain much to her at this moment.

This new stronghold, this discovery, may change the entire future trajectory of the Mo Wang Mansion.

Zisu knew she shouldn't interfere, so she could only watch Jinglei.

Jing Lei nodded and said, "I will protect the princess."

"No need for that, and I don't know who's protecting whom," Chu Yueli smiled. "Wait for me a moment, I'll go back and change my clothes."

She moved quickly, changed into a set of comfortable clothes for easy movement, hung her long soft sword at her waist, and was about to head out.

Zisu was stunned: "Miss, when did you learn to use a long flexible sword?"

“I saw someone using it last time and thought it was convenient, so I secretly made one.” After hanging the needle case on her body, everything was ready. Chu Yueli said, “When the Ninth Prince comes back later, please help me carry it and tell him that I am resting. Don’t let him know that I went out.”

"understood."

...This time, the stronghold is located in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city.

"This place isn't very secluded; it could be discovered at any time, and it looks quite new." Chu Yueli frowned after observing carefully for a moment from behind the stone wall.

"They don't seem to care much about being discovered, so this really is... ordered by the Emperor?"

Jing Lei hadn't figured it out yet, but his thoughts were the same as Chu Yue Li's.

"Besides the Emperor, I'm afraid there's no one else in the world who would dare to do something so blatantly!"
