Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Don't be afraid, Young Master Ye. Even if I think about it, I wouldn't actually dare to, much less make things difficult for you," Chu Yueli quickly explained.

She didn't have much time and didn't want to cause misunderstandings on this issue.

“I have seen the thunderbolts made by Qin Mingyue. I’m afraid her technology is not good enough. I’m worried that the Emperor will try to find you to bring him back. I hope that you can delay for a while, Ye Shaoqing.”

Using the word "drag?" to deal with the emperor is extremely dangerous.

However, Ye Huai'an felt that he knew her quite well, and since she dared to do this, she must have already thought of a way to deal with it.

But he still didn't understand.

"Why would the Princess Consort do this? Once the Emperor finds out, you will be his enemy, which will not benefit either the Duke's Mansion or the Prince Mo's Mansion. In fact, it may even bring disaster upon yourself."

"As Ye Shaoqing knows, the Emperor's health is failing, and it's uncertain how much longer he can remain in power."

"princess!"

"Ye Shaoqing, you are a man of strong character. There's no need for us to beat around the bush when we talk." Chu Yueli looked at him with a firm gaze, showing no sign of guilt or evasion.

Ye Huai'an thought about it and calmed down.

What she said was true.

"Alright, so what the princess means is that once this thunderbolt is manufactured, it might not actually fall into the Emperor's hands?"

"That's right." That's the key point. What if everything the Emperor is doing now is just a stepping stone for someone else?

"So, you think the danger isn't the Emperor himself, but Prince Jin and Qin Mingyue who control the manufacturing plant?" Ye Huai'an frowned. This was truly a great calamity.

“Prince Jin is still a prince of Dongling. Of course, I don’t know if he has any evil intentions. I don’t know him.” Chu Yueli lowered her eyes, her gaze gradually turning cold: “I’m on guard against Qin Mingyue, who was formerly the rebel Tuoba Mingyue.”

She can now openly manufacture thunderbolts.

Once the process is perfected, they will mass-produce this powerful weapon.

What if Tuoba Mingyue is only pretending to submit, but in reality she is still working for the rebels?

With so many thunderbolts, if they fall into the hands of the rebels, the safety of the people of Dongling will be hard to guarantee, and Dongling is in grave danger!

Ye Huai'an was a shrewd person. As soon as Chu Yueli said those words, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

But now, this matter is clearly unsolvable.

The most crucial point is...

"The Emperor trusts her. As long as the Emperor trusts her, we can't do anything to her! The Emperor and Prince Yu are behind her. I'm afraid even Prince Jin will have to be wary of her."

As for what stance Prince Jin currently holds, that's something no one knows.

“Prince Jin may not necessarily stand on the Emperor’s side, nor may he be of the same mind as Qin Mingyue. However, I don’t know him well.”

He looked at Chu Yueli, hesitating to speak.

Everyone in the capital knew about the past relationship between Chu Yueli and Prince Jin.

Chu Yueli said, "Based on my understanding of him in the past, although he was far less benevolent than Prince Mo, he at least had some care for the people. However, that was him in the past."

Therefore, Chu Yue Li dared not give Ye Huai An any guarantee as to what Prince Jin had become.

“People change. Besides, he used to be full of vigor and ambition. Among all the princes in Dongling, no one could surpass him in terms of reputation and status. The people loved him too, so it is understandable that he loved his people.”
