Resisting the Wind and Splendor

From the time the military intelligence from the south to this point, less than a day and a night had actually passed.

In less than twelve hours, Chu Yueli had decided to set out on the expedition and had even made all the necessary arrangements, which shows how urgent the situation was.

The arrival of Tuoba Liuli with the Duke's mansion was indeed unexpected, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Things happened so suddenly, there was no time for anyone to discuss it.

Zisu glanced at Tuoba Liuli, who was kneeling on one knee, then looked at Chu Yueli, and finally could only purse her lips and remain silent.

This matter requires the young lady to make the decision.

Chu Yueli lowered her eyes, also looking at Tuoba Liuli: "If you leave, what will happen to everything in the Duke's mansion?"

"I have instructed Steward Qin to take good care of everything in the manor. I have also discussed the manor's financial plan with Steward Qin for this year. There will be no major changes in the Duke's manor this year, and there will be no unexpected situations in terms of finances. So, please rest assured, General Chu."

Tuoba Liuli's answer was concise and to the point; it was indeed something she had considered, not something she made up on the spot.

Chu Yueli pursed her lips and remained silent.

Tuoba Liuli remained kneeling on one knee, waiting.

Actually, I was filled with unease and anxiety, but all I could do was wait.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yueli finally spoke again: "Have you truly mastered all of the Chu family's spear techniques?"

Tuoba Liuli was overjoyed and quickly looked up at her, saying, "If the general does not believe me, I can demonstrate it for the general to see immediately."

"I don't have time to watch your rehearsal, I believe you!"

Chu Yueli waved her hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

The procession sped past Tuoba Liuli, who was initially caught off guard.

After realizing what had happened, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, quickly walked to the horse, leaped onto it, and shouted, "Let's go!"

……

When Lu Yunfei woke up, it was already noon the next day.

He had just rushed out of his bedroom when Consort Yu stopped him at the door.

"Yunfei?" Yu Fei was surprised that he would wake up at this time. According to Chu Yue Li's instructions, Lu Yunfei should not wake up until tomorrow night at the earliest.

Yu Fei immediately realized that, in order to protect him, she had given him and Lu Beimo small doses of poison since they were young to enhance their bodies' resistance to various poisons.

Therefore, the effects of the medication on the two brothers were much milder than on ordinary people.

He woke up a day early.

"Yunfei, you've just woken up and you're still weak. Go back and rest quickly, let your mother help you!" Consort Yu hurried over, wanting to help him inside to rest.

Just as he reached out his hand, Lu Yunfei pushed it away.

Lu Yunfei was indeed very weak. Although he had regained consciousness, the effects of the drug were still lingering. He was now weak and powerless, and even taking a step was difficult.

In the end, he had to hold onto the door frame to barely keep his balance.

“That vixen…that wicked…woman…” Lu Yunfei gritted his teeth, clearly furious, but his words still betrayed his worry and anxiety: “Mother, has she…has she already set off?”

Consort Yu's heart tightened. Seeing her son's pale face and worried expression, she couldn't bear it.

She nodded and reassured him, "The team set off yesterday and is probably almost at Qinyang now. Yunfei, you go first..."

"No, I have to catch up with them."

Lu Yunfei pushed her outstretched hand away again: "Someone, prepare a horse for...this prince...quickly!"
