Resisting the Wind and Splendor

There's something that Lu Yunfei simply can't handle.

However, seeing how devout he was, Chu Yueli didn't want to hurt his pride.

After shaking her head at the distant thunder, she smiled at Lu Yunfei and said, "Alright, I'll go back and rest now."

Jing Lei turned and walked away.

Chu Yueli also walked towards her own courtyard, ignoring Lu Yunfei.

Lu Yunfei knew perfectly well that they were still trying to hide it from him, but this vixen wanted to go back to rest. Seeing the bags under her eyes and the dark circles, Lu Yunfei couldn't bear to let her continue to stay up.

Well then, whatever it is, we'll talk about it after she's rested.

He went to find Jing Lei first.

Unexpectedly, not only was Jing Lei not found, but Liu Yun and Zi Su also disappeared without a trace.

Everyone in the courtyard seemed to be avoiding him.

In the end, Lu Yunfei could only go back to his dormitory and go to sleep!

At this moment, Jing Lei and the missing Liu Yun Zi Su were both in Chu Yue Li's bedroom.

"Prince Jin actually covered it up for you." After hearing what she had said about today's events, Jing Lei's expression turned serious.

Zisu immediately glared at him and said, "My young lady and Prince Jin have absolutely no affair. I can guarantee it with my life. Don't think nonsense."

"Why would I overthink things?" Jing Lei quickly explained, "I'm just surprised, after all, this matter..."

He glanced at Chu Yueli, unsure whether he should say it here.

Chu Yueli said, "You don't need to worry about this for now. I don't know what he's really thinking. Maybe he's thinking about some past relationship, or maybe he has some other conspiracy."

In short, the best way to deal with this is to avoid being presumptuous or overthinking.

"Miss, you don't look well. You should get some rest." Zisu glanced at Liuyun and Jinglei.

The two immediately understood that after Jing Lei put down Chu Yue Li's bag, he left with Liu Yun.

Zisu looked at the bag on the table. Although she wasn't sure what was inside, she knew it must be very important.

"When they came to search today, they ransacked many places, miss, this bag..."

"It's alright. Since it's already been searched, they won't come back to search a second time, at least not for a while." Chu Yueli thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "I'm going to take a nap. Prepare some gifts for me. I'll go see the Empress later."

"The Empress?" Zisu was somewhat surprised. "What brings Miss to see the Empress?"

She had just come out of the palace. Shouldn't she be as far away from that palace as possible at this time?

"I'm just telling everyone that I don't need to avoid suspicion." Chu Yueli lay down on the bed, closed her eyes to rest, and said softly, "The more I avoid suspicion, the more it shows that I have something to hide. I'm not afraid of that palace. I'm even willing to go near it. The Emperor can't do anything about it."

After that, she turned over, covered herself with the blanket, and stopped talking.

Zisu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Their young lady is just so different.

Why avoid suspicion? The more you avoid it, the more suspicious you become.

Miss is right.

"I'll prepare some soup for you. Eat well after you wake up."

"Mmm." Chu Yueli nodded, her eyes still closed.

Zisu is gone.

Chu Yueli opened her eyes and looked at the scale on the roof. Her gaze was slightly heavy, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Bei Mo has been gone for almost a month.

New Year's Eve is just around the corner. I wonder where he is and what he is doing right now?

He'll have to spend New Year's Eve outdoors again this year, won't he?
