Resisting the Wind and Splendor

But Chu Yueli had only walked a few dozen feet before Lu Fengjin caught up with her again. This time, it really wasn't intentional.

She is very tired.

For some reason, I was so tired that I could hardly move my legs.

Even Lu Fengjin could see this scene clearly.

"You think I'd kill you to silence you?" Lu Fengjin blocked her way, and seeing her immediately become defensive, he felt a surge of anger.

I was both angry and aggrieved.

"Whether in the past or now, when have I ever thought of hurting you? Ali, in your heart, am I really that worthless?"

"Fifth Prince, your memory is truly terrible." Chu Yueli's smile was utterly sarcastic! "I wonder who it was that brought that rebel's daughter, Tuoba Feiyuan, to the Duke's mansion that day, holding a knife and demanding that I agree to be stabbed before I would be qualified to marry into the Prince Jin's mansion?"

Lu Fengjin blushed, knowing he was in the wrong. He said helplessly, "Ali, I was really blinded by love back then. I even wondered if I had been bewitched."

"Ah Li, let's not talk about the past anymore. You're injured, but I promise I won't hurt you. Don't run away, I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself."

Lu Fengjin took a step forward, but seeing that she still took a half step back to guard against him, he said, "Okay, I won't come near you, but you really shouldn't run away. Using your true energy will only make you more seriously injured."

He wondered what kind of expert could have hurt her.

But her pale face tonight was definitely not an act.

"Pretend you never saw what happened tonight. That place was also built at the behest of the Emperor. You are a smart person and should know that no one would dare to build such a thing so openly if it weren't for his orders."

Therefore, Lu Fengjin was not afraid of her telling anyone; the more people who knew, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.

Those who know the truth can't do anything about it, and if the information gets out, they may even be silenced.

For her, it was a completely harmful thing.

"Ah Li, I'll take you home."

Chu Yueli pursed her lips and finally let down her guard.

"Your Highness, please go first," she insisted.

Lu Fengjin knew that she was still wary of him, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he could only walk ahead of her.

Chu Yueli stared at his back, her eyes narrowing.

Lu Fengjin truly had no wariness towards her, leaving her with his back to him like this. If she really intended to kill him, she could do so at any time.

Of course, she had no reason to harm him.

The two left the dense forest and, after walking for an unknown amount of time, finally returned to the bustling street.

"I've already left that area, Fifth Brother, can you let me go back now?" Chu Yueli yawned.

Even though it was noon, I felt waves of drowsiness washing over me.

I don't know what's wrong with me today, I feel tired and sleepy all the time, my body feels really off.

“You’ve been in the woods for so long, you must be hungry. I’ll take you to have a meal.” Lu Fengjin turned to look at her.

Chu Yueli was about to refuse when Lu Fengjin said, "If Father Emperor knew that your Duke's mansion had discovered his secret, he might very well take action."

Chu Yueli's face darkened, and she glared at him, her eyes icy cold: "Are you threatening me?"

"Think what you will, but right now, all I want is to have a meal with you."

It was well past mealtime, but they had been in the forest for too long and were starving.

Especially Chu Yueli.

She usually goes hungry, but for some reason today, as soon as he mentioned eating, her stomach started rumbling incessantly.

I was so hungry I almost fainted!
