Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"In the past few days, I have indeed sent a large number of people to keep an eye on Qin Mingyue. There has been absolutely no movement from Qin Mingyue's side. I can guarantee that."

Huo Qing might not be so confident about other things, but this time, the experts she invited were all handpicked.

"Qin Mingyue not only made no move, but she didn't even go to the manufacturing workshop. She stayed at the Prince Jin's residence the whole time."

"Something's not right." Chu Yueli frowned, lost in thought.

"Could it be that she saw through his weakness, which is why she's becoming more cautious and holding back?"

"Qin Mingyue is cunning and scheming, and she may well be able to guess your intentions. If that's the case, then she probably also guessed that you suspect the Eighth Prince."

Huo Qing was a little worried. If they all guessed it, would they do something to Ali next?

"It's alright, I was just saying that. Besides, I did write a letter to my grandfather. If they investigate, they can find out that the letter that left the Mo Prince's Mansion was indeed sent to the Southern Frontier."

This matter was originally half true and half false.

A half-truth can easily fool people.

"What about the Eighth Prince..."

"I'm not sure." Everyone here is a member of the royal family. If Lu Ziling saw Qin Mingyue inside or outside the palace and picked up her scent, it wouldn't be surprising.

It's certainly possible that the younger brother would go over and greet his sister-in-law upon seeing her.

Therefore, this suspicion is just that—suspicion—and no conclusion has been reached.

"However, a large batch of things was transported from the manufacturing workshop today. They look like raw materials. I'm afraid they're going to mass-produce thunderbolts."

Chu Yueli looked at the thunder.

Jing Lei nodded: "Although it's not clear, the procession is huge and they're transporting a lot of things, so the princess's suspicions are probably correct."

“But Qin Mingyue is clearly a member of the rebels. Once these thunderbolts are made, they will definitely take action. We haven’t even found out who the White-Clad Sect Leader is yet, and the Emperor doesn’t allow Ali to participate in this matter. What if these weapons fall into the hands of the rebels after they are manufactured?”

The more Huo Qing thought about it, the more terrifying the situation seemed.

"A dozen or so thunderbolts can kill a hundred people. If they were mass-produced and used by rebels, the entire capital would be in great danger."

She looked at Chu Yueli, realizing that when faced with an insurmountable problem, she could only rely on Chu Yueli.

"Ah Li, we need to think of a solution quickly, otherwise, the people of the capital will be in danger."

"But the Emperor does not allow the Princess Consort to interfere in this matter. Last time the Princess Consort was brought into the palace, if there was anything wrong with her, I'm afraid the Emperor will not let her off easily."

Jing Lei was very worried.

Now that the prince is not in the capital, if something really happens to the princess, no one can save her.

“Last time, His Majesty only warned you, Princess Consort. He didn’t actually want to deal with you. But if you really interfere, Princess Consort, and are caught by His Majesty next time, it will be far more than just a warning.”

"Moreover, Qin Mingyue intends to deal with you. If Qin Mingyue were to speak ill of the Princess Consort in front of the Emperor, or even say that the Princess Consort wanted to seize the weapons for herself and rebel with the Prince and the Qin family, this fabricated charge might very well drive you to your death."

For the emperor, the most unforgivable thing was forming cliques for personal gain and standing against him.

The Qin family has always been a thorn in the Emperor's side, and he has been worried about not having a chance to eradicate them completely!
