Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The white-robed sect leader glanced at her sideways: "What do you mean?"

Ming Sihai should help his granddaughter's husband, shouldn't he?

"The Emperor has repeatedly tried to get Ming Sihai to leave the Southern Frontier, but Ming Sihai has refused, knowing that the Emperor may not be truly willing to treat him well."

To put it bluntly, the Emperor could never genuinely care for the Ming family.

Once Ming Sihai leaves Nanmeng and returns to the capital, the emperor will likely try every means to detain him and prevent him from going back.

"This time, it is Lu Beimo who is going to Nanmeng. Ming Sihai is not familiar with Lu Beimo at all. Unless Chu Yueli goes in person, Ming Sihai will never easily mobilize troops."

What if it's the Emperor's conspiracy? After luring the Ming family army to Southern Mongolia, is it impossible for Prince Mo to annex Southern Xinjiang?

From Ming Sihai's perspective, there's a high probability that this is a trap.

Although there is a letter written by Chu Yueli herself, Chu Yueli is currently in the capital and may be under the Emperor's control.

In short, if Ming Sihai really sends troops to Southern Mongolia, then the Mo King, who holds considerable power in the Northern Frontier, can take the opportunity to annex the Southern Frontier.

Prince Mo is the Emperor's own son!

How could Ming Sihai not be on guard?

"Sect Master, I'm not questioning your information, but the person who gives you the information may not be trustworthy."

Upon hearing this, the white-robed sect leader remained silent, lost in thought.

Qin Mingyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sect Leader, is it possible that our people have been suspected? With Chu Yueli's intelligence, she might have noticed something amiss. Perhaps she's just testing us?"

At this moment, the white-robed sect leader's brow furrowed even more deeply beneath his human skin mask.

He looked at Qin Mingyue: "You seem to have a good idea?"

"There's a way we can try." Qin Mingyue leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If Chu Yueli really sees through our people, then this woman absolutely cannot be allowed to live."

The white-robed sect leader lowered his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

He had no intention of harming Chu Yueli; he even held a slight admiration for this woman.

However, if she truly threatens my safety, then she absolutely must be eliminated!

……

The days passed by, one by one, in an atmosphere that was both ordinary and extraordinary.

In the blink of an eye, Lunar New Year's Eve is approaching.

Today, Chu Yue returned to the Duke's mansion.

As I went out, I saw Zisu arranging for the people in the Prince's Mansion to prepare things for the New Year.

The main house, the courtyard, various decorations, and all sorts of New Year's goods.

Although it's just the New Year, there are quite a few people in the Prince's Mansion, and the connections are extensive.

Liu Yun had been keeping Zi Su company these past few days, and when he saw the account books in Zi Su's hands, he felt dizzy and had a headache.

He thought that as long as he took care of his masters during the New Year, namely the Prince, the Ninth Prince, his cousin, and the Consort Yu who occasionally returned, his daily life and diet would be fine. However, he did not expect that he would also have to arrange for the people in the various courtyards below.

"Do you think that apart from you people, everyone below doesn't need to eat, drink, and have fun? You're allowed to be happy, but everyone else doesn't need to be happy?" That's what Zisu said.

Although Liu Yun listened to her in everything, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "They do this every year."

"So, your manor never has a festive atmosphere for the New Year, right? I've already asked the steward. In the past few years, you didn't even bother to put up couplets on the doors. The whole manor was deserted and quiet."

Hearing these words, Chu Yueli felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It's almost Chinese New Year's Eve, where is Bei Mo now? What is he doing?
