Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli stood aside. Although she had long wanted to tear Ruifei's foul mouth apart, she still didn't dare to physically assault her.

As a junior, to hit Consort Rui was truly... an unforgivable sin.

Even if the Emperor doesn't punish her, the Empress Dowager won't let her off the hook.

The Empress Dowager valued rules and regulations the most.

Chu Yueli dared not, but to her surprise, Consort Yu actually took action directly.

That's just...so cool!

Chu Yueli realized that she seemed to be growing to like her mother more and more.

"You...you hit me." Consort Rui belatedly realized that she had really been hit, and it took her a long time to get up after being helped up.

It was a hard slap!

"How dare you hit me!" Consort Rui's eyes instantly turned red with rage.

She was so angry that she stomped her feet, and was so angry that she almost vomited blood!

"You dare! You dare! Guards! Guards! Beat this slut to death!"

But no matter how she shouted, the eunuchs and palace maids around her just lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

Hit Consort Yu? Who would dare?

That is a serious crime of decapitation!

Consort Rui also knew that no one here dared to stand up for her.

But she can't be slapped for no reason! How could she?

Enraged, Consort Rui lunged forward, raising her hand to slap Consort Yu across the face.

Consort Rui had some martial arts skills, but compared to Consort Yu, who was practically a member of the martial arts world, her rudimentary skills weren't even enough to scratch an itch.

It was effortless; three more slaps landed hard on Consort Rui's face.

Consort Rui was beaten until her face was bruised and swollen, but apart from helping her up, none of the palace maids and nannies dared to actually go over and fight back against Consort Yu!

Soon, Consort Rui realized that she was at a great disadvantage if she fought with Consort Yu; she was clearly suffering in silence.

But my face was burning; I'd been slapped four times, and both cheeks were swollen and red! I couldn't swallow this insult without getting my revenge!

"You... Qin Yuhua! I will not let you go! I will have the Empress Dowager take your life!" She couldn't beat her in a fight, and she wouldn't respond to her insults.

Consort Rui was at her wits' end and was so angry that she was practically bursting with rage. She rushed into Yongshou Palace.

"She's probably going to complain to the Empress Dowager." Chu Yueli looked at Consort Yu and asked softly, "Mother, you dared to hit her, have you thought of how to deal with it later?"

"Me?" Consort Yu blinked and shook her head. "What way do I have to deal with this? But she cursed my son, I can't just not hit her. If I don't, she'll say even more vicious things, and how can I, as her mother, bear to listen to them?"

Chu Yueli couldn't listen to it anymore, but she couldn't take action.

However, if there's no other way to deal with it, do you just resort to violence?

My mother is incredibly audacious!

You hit the emperor's concubine during the New Year, aren't you afraid your father will banish you to the cold palace?

This is not impossible, after all, hitting a concubine is a serious crime.

"I'm scared, but I have you by my side, what do I have to be afraid of?" Consort Yu said matter-of-factly. "Who doesn't know that you, Miss Li, are incredibly resourceful and wise? Mo'er has entrusted me to you, so you have to take responsibility for me. I don't want to go to the Cold Palace, the Cold Palace is so scary, A-Li, you have to help me."

"Me?" Chu Yueli's scalp tingled. So, before her mother hit her, she had already planned to leave this mess for her to handle.

But how can she take responsibility?
