Resisting the Wind and Splendor

What? Last night, Prince Jin forcibly kept Princess Mo at Prince Jin's residence?

But they are talking about the workshop being broken into by thieves. Why has it suddenly turned into this?

The Emperor and An Delu showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Chu Yueli kept her eyes lowered, and although there was surprise in her eyes, no one could see it.

Prince Jin was actually coming to help her; this was something she hadn't expected at all.

Lu Fengjin continued, "Although I kept Princess Mo here, I have never done anything improper to her. Father, I swear to Heaven, please forgive me."

Lu Yunfei was completely confused.

She looked at Lu Fengjin, then at Chu Yueli, feeling a mix of shock, grievance, and anger.

In the end, I didn't even know what I was thinking; my feelings were indescribably complicated.

The Emperor looked at Chu Yueli, his expression unreadable: "You were at Prince Jin's residence all night?"

Chu Yueli seemed very troubled, lowering her head and speaking in a slightly hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I...I have not done anything to wrong Bei Mo."

"I just asked you why you didn't answer?" Your words have been evasive, is it because you were at the Prince Jin's residence?

For a moment, even the emperor couldn't tell whether the matter was true or false.

Did they lie or not?

"Father, it's all my fault..."

"I didn't ask you to speak!" the Emperor roared.

Lu Fengjin remained silent and did not speak further.

Chu Yueli exhaled before saying, "Father, this is not what I wanted. Although I have not done anything improper with Prince Jin, I am afraid of what others will say. Therefore, I dare not speak recklessly, nor... dare not admit it."

An Delu's feelings were also complicated at this moment.

If this is true, then the woman who broke into the manufacturing workshop last night was not Chu Yueli.

If it's not Chu Yueli, then who is it?

However, the current situation must be dealt with first.

As long as it's not Chu Yueli, things are still relatively easy to handle for now.

But did these two lie?

An Delu glanced at the Emperor, who was frowning and remained silent.

An Delu then asked, "Was it really all night at the Mo Prince's residence?"

"No, it was late at night. After I left the Prince Jin's residence, I went to eat noodles on the street. It was a noodle stall that was still open in the early hours of the morning. This matter..."

Chu Yueli glanced at Lu Yunfei and whispered, "The Ninth Prince also knows about this."

An Delu and the Emperor's gazes immediately fell on Lu Yunfei.

The Emperor frowned: "How did this matter get involved with you again?"

"I... went to find Fourth Princess Consort. I was afraid something might have happened to her, but who knew..."

Lu Yunfei didn't finish his sentence; he wasn't a liar to begin with.

But it was precisely this incompleteness, coupled with the resentment in his eyes when he looked at Chu Yueli and Lu Fengjin, that made the matter seem even more real, without any flaws.

"Later, when I saw the Fourth Princess return, she said she was cold and hungry, so I ate some noodles with her."

"Then why didn't you return to the palace with your fourth sister-in-law?" An Delu knew that when Qi Wei brought Chu Yueli back, the Ninth Prince was not at the palace at all.

Given his affection for Prince Mo, even if he didn't like his fourth sister-in-law, he would definitely protect her if she got into trouble.

How could he let Qi Wei bring Chu Yueli back alone before he himself arrived?

"Ninth Prince, is there something else being concealed in this matter?"
