Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"My eldest cousin was going to the battlefield, and my aunt couldn't stop him. She could only watch helplessly as her eldest son went on a distant expedition, unable to stay by his side to enjoy family life."

But these are things that children of the royal family must go through.

Some volunteered, some were forced to; as long as one has the ability, one has no choice but to take on the responsibility.

"So Mother Consort was unwilling to train Yunfei in this way from a young age, for fear that he would follow the same path as his elder brother?" Chu Yueli sighed softly.

For a royal son to rise above others, he must be able to withstand these storms.

"But Brother Yunfei will study on his own. He studies very hard, hoping that one day he can share the burden with his older cousin."

Qin Muxue's eyes light up whenever Lu Yunfei is mentioned.

This love is so deep and intense that it's impossible to melt away.

"Although I am not a real child of the Qin family, but was adopted by my grandfather, my aunt has always doted on me since I was a child and let me stay by her side. Brother Yunfei and I have grown up together since childhood. I can see how hard Brother Yunfei works behind the scenes to become a real general."

“But no matter how hard he tries, his aunt will not allow him to go to the battlefield. I know that Brother Yunfei is very disappointed, but he can’t say it, and no one can say it.”

"Actually, you can't blame your aunt." Chu Yueli said softly, "When your eldest cousin went to the northern frontier, your aunt must have been more heartbroken than anyone else. He was trapped in the northern frontier for five years and couldn't come back. Tell me, what mother can endure the pain of missing her son for five years?"

The more she felt sorry for Lu Beimo, the more she understood why Lu Yunfei hated her so much. Even though she was already his fourth sister-in-law, he still couldn't help but call her a vixen from time to time.

After all, it was all thanks to her that Prince Mo was trapped in the northern frontier for five years.

The fact that her mother could still hold back and smile at her shows a magnanimity that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"You know he's unhappy, so just spend more time with him. Do what he likes to do, and he'll be happy, and you'll be happy too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Muxue nodded vigorously and smiled, "Yes, whatever Brother Yunfei wants to do, as long as he's willing to let me accompany him, I will accompany him."

However, Yunfei doesn't like having her with him most of the time.

He just wanted her to rest in bed. He knew she wasn't in good health, but he didn't know how bad it was.

Seeing that she seemed to be in relatively good spirits, they assumed she had recovered.

But no one told Lu Yunfei that Qin Muxue's health was actually deteriorating day by day.

"Sister-in-law." Qin Muxue raised her hand again and gently grasped Chu Yueli's hand: "Brother Yunfei really doesn't know my true situation. I beg you, don't tell him, otherwise, he will definitely not allow me to go out."

"Also, don't tell him why I was poisoned. I don't want him to feel guilty when he's around me. I just want him to be happy."

Chu Yueli looked at her for a while before smiling and saying, "Don't worry, I won't say anything out of line."

...That evening, Jing Lei came out of the study and brought Chu Yue Li a topographical map.

There are two areas, which are the core areas, heavily guarded, and even the craftsmen inside don't have the chance to go in.

Those two areas should be where the thunderbolts were manufactured; they must contain raw materials and all the tools used in their production.

"Only a very few people can get in. Even though I've disguised myself as a craftsman, I still can't get close."
