Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli was taken to the Emperor's study.

But the emperor was not there.

After Qi Wei brought her here, he didn't say anything, only that the Emperor told him to wait, and then he left with his guards.

Chu Yueli waited alone in the imperial study from when it was still dark until dawn.

The emperor never came.

However, it is the time when the emperor is holding court, so it is not surprising that he did not come.

She could only continue to wait.

And so they waited for another hour or so.

Fortunately, there was a chair in the imperial study. When no one was watching her, she curled up in the chair and slept on and off. Although her sleep was restless, she at least got some rest.

After sleeping a few times, I felt much better, and the heaviness in my body also dissipated somewhat.

Finally, I heard footsteps.

Chu Yueli immediately stood up from her chair, straightened her clothes, and stood quietly in front of the hall.

Fortunately, I changed into my night clothes when I returned. Otherwise, it would be truly bizarre and difficult to explain if I appeared in the Emperor's sight dressed in night clothes.

The Emperor and Andelu have arrived.

"Greetings, Father Emperor!" Chu Yueli immediately bowed.

The emperor didn't speak or pay attention to her. He returned to his chair and sat down, then stared at her face.

An Delu, who was standing beside her, said, "Princess Mo, please stand up and speak."

Chu Yueli breathed a sigh of relief and stood up straight.

You should know that bowing is also a very tiring thing; after a while, a person will be unable to stand up.

"Father, may I ask why you have Commander Qi bring me here?" Chu Yue Li knew that this matter could not be avoided even if she did not bring it up.

Let's get straight to the point so as not to waste everyone's time.

Where did you go last night?

"Last night I was thinking about Bei Mo, so I went for a walk in the street."

"Why go for a walk in the street?" An Delu frowned and asked, "If you are worried about the Prince, why not go to the study or the courtyard where the Prince has traces of his life?"

"I just remembered the beef noodles I ate with Bei Mo before, and the more I thought about it, the more upset I felt, so I went to that stall and ate a bowl." Chu Yue Li's expression was very natural, so it was impossible to tell whether she was lying or not.

An Delu glanced at the Emperor.

It's not easy to fake going to a noodle stall.

The person who runs the stall can testify, and since that person is just an ordinary citizen, he can't withstand coercion and will easily tell the whole truth.

An Delu glanced at Chu Yueli, then at the Emperor.

There were signs of a break-in at the workshop last night, but the thief was not caught and no one knows who did it.

The Emperor was very concerned about this and ordered people to search everywhere overnight.

As for Chu Yueli, she was the Emperor's primary target for investigation.

He knew Chu Yueli's abilities all too well; she was highly skilled in martial arts and had a mind more complex than the average person.

Moreover, she is now the Princess Consort of Mo, and she is still connected with the Qin family. In short, taking all factors into account, the Emperor will definitely pay special attention to the Mo family and the Qin family if there is any disturbance.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Yueli was indeed not in the palace.

"Princess Consort Mo, since you only went out for a walk and to have a bowl of noodles, why did you not return until almost dawn? Where did you go during that time? Is there any witness?"

An Delu asked again.

Chu Yueli remained calm and replied composedly, "The winter night was cold, and there was no one walking on the street. I walked on the street all night, but there was no witness."
