Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“Mother, unless you can keep drugging me for the rest of my life, I will definitely go to find my fourth sister-in-law as soon as I wake up.”

Lu Yunfei's strength is gradually returning.

Consort Yu could also see that her youngest son had quite a bit of potential, and soon he would be able to move around freely.

Whether or not to continue giving him the medication is a decision made in a split second, and within this short period of time.

If she doesn't make a decision soon, she won't be able to decide for herself. She can't really fight with her son; it wouldn't be good if anyone got hurt.

She looked at the bowl of medicine in Granny Ji's hand.

Lu Yunfei was extremely anxious: "Mother!"

Consort Yu sighed softly and raised her long finger.

Lu Yunfei felt a sudden tension throughout his body, and then he fell back onto the bed with a thud.

She pressed his acupoints.

"Mother, I dare not hate you, but I will never... I will never be close to you again!" he said through gritted teeth.

Consort Yu was taken aback and looked at her: "Son, is it that serious? Your mother is only doing this for your own good. Your fourth brother and sister-in-law would not want to see you take such a risk. Besides, your fourth brother is already in Nanmeng. Have you thought about your mother?"

Both of her sons went to fight in the south of Mongolia, leaving her, an old woman, in the capital. How scared and helpless she must have felt.

Didn't he think about any of these things?

A hint of reluctance flashed in Lu Yunfei's eyes, but he still said firmly, "I will definitely bring my fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law back safely. I swear on my life."

"No, no, no, you'd better not say anything. The more you say that, the more flustered your mother will become."

Yufei rubbed her slightly throbbing temples, genuinely hesitant and unsure of what to do.

Granny Ji whispered, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince is still young and doesn't understand things. He can't make decisions on his own. Why don't you help him decide?"

Having served Consort Yu for so many years, Granny Ji naturally prioritized the interests of Consort Yu's family in everything she did.

At this moment, Lu Yunfei really shouldn't have followed Chu Yue to Nanmeng. To put it bluntly, with the Ninth Prince by her side, Consort Yu would at least have something to look forward to.

In case something happens to the King of Mo in Nanmeng... then the Empress will not be left alone.

No one wants to see misfortune strike, but if that day really comes, we must give the Empress something to live for!

"Your Highness, you'd better...make a decision quickly." Granny Ji pushed the medicine forward.

Consort Yu gritted her teeth and finally took the medicine bowl: "Granny, help me help him up."

"Mother..." But Lu Yunfei didn't have a chance to continue speaking, as Consort Yu sealed his speech acupoints.

Unable to speak, he could only glare at Consort Yu, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger, though he dared not show any hatred.

Even Consort Yu couldn't bear to look into her son's eyes.

Seeing her such an obedient son glaring at her with such angry eyes chilled her to the bone; it was truly unbearable.

"Yunfei, don't be angry with your mother. She's really doing this for your own good. That place isn't suitable for you. When have you ever been to such a harsh place?"

She picked up the medicine bowl, brought it to Lu Yunfei's lips, and coaxed him softly, "Don't worry, Ali will definitely bring your fourth brother back. We have to believe in her, okay?"

Lu Yunfei pursed his lips tightly, his breathing extremely erratic.

Yufei knew he still wanted to struggle, but his acupoints were sealed, and he had no way to break free.

The bowl of medicine was eventually brought to his lips.

"Yunfei, don't be angry. Go back to sleep. When you wake up, there may be good news."
