Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Thunder later returned to that tree.

Before leaving, she added, "Your Highness drank quite a bit of strong liquor tonight. It's windy at night, so please take care of him and make sure he doesn't catch a cold."

Chu Yueli calmed herself down for a moment.

A moment later, she went out and found four trusted guards to stand guard outside the courtyard gate, forbidding anyone except Zisu and Chu Yi from entering.

Later, Zisu and Chu Yi escorted Chu Xiaohe back, and Chu Yueli even transferred Chu Yi over to personally guard the hospital gate.

Chu Yi didn't ask why, and neither did the four guards.

No one dared to look back, as the gates of Wangyue Pavilion were locked.

After arranging everything, Chu Yueli breathed a sigh of relief, went back into the house to get a blanket, and then returned to the pavilion.

Lu Beimo was indeed fast asleep. He must have been a little tired lately, as there were occasional soft snores.

Chu Yueli took the blanket and walked to his side. Just as she was about to cover him with it, she suddenly froze.

While she was arranging things, the Great Demon King turned over and is now lying on his side.

The mask was tucked underneath, revealing the other half of the face intact.

Under the moonlight, this face, with its strong yet gentle lines, looks like a mountain at first glance, and then like a painting!

His thick, dark eyebrows were arched and his high, straight nose gave him a commanding presence, but his long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow beneath his eyelids, creating a hazy, alluring effect.

Those lips, still carrying the scent of wine, gleamed alluringly in the moonlight, like two blooming rose petals.

Its vibrant color and delicate fragrance make it irresistible.

A breeze was blowing at that moment.

Strands of hair at his temples were blown into disarray, falling across his exquisitely handsome face, instantly adding a touch of melancholic allure to it.

Unbeknownst to Chu Yueli, she reached out and tried to brush away the messy strands of hair from his face.

By the time she realized what she was doing, her fingertips were less than half a finger's distance from his face.

This scene made Chu Yue's heart tighten, and she quickly withdrew her hand in surprise.

After hurriedly but carefully covering the Great Demon King with a blanket, she quickly went out from under the pavilion, not daring to linger for even a moment.

The most handsome man in the capital!

It turns out to be true.

Even just half of her face was a stunning beauty she had never seen before!

Startled, Chu Yueli quickly returned to her room and closed the door, her heart still pounding.

It was stunning, but also unsettling.

Back then, she was young and didn't know how weighty the title of "the most handsome man in the capital" really was.

Now I finally know.

But she plotted to send the Ink King to the northern frontier, ruining his appearance!

For an ordinary person to have their face disfigured is already a tragic thing, let alone for such an exceptionally handsome man?

If Mo Wang's face is completely intact, what role would the titles of "handsome man of the capital" play for, or for Jin Wang and the other princes?

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally managed to calm herself down.

She caused him to be disfigured; shouldn't he hate her to death? Tonight he even said that the only time he was ever trapped in his life was because of her.

King Mo must hate her to the core, right?

So, is everything that's happened recently part of his revenge plan?

With this unsettling question in mind, Chu Yueli not only closed the door but also shut all the windows before collapsing onto the bed.

Tossing and turning.

I finally managed to fall asleep just before dawn.

Why do I always feel like someone is watching me when I'm asleep?
