Resisting the Wind and Splendor

At first, Chu Yueli was a little worried that Lu Yunfei would not allow her to go to Lu Fengjin.

After all, Lu Yunfei still harbored resentment towards her and Lu Fengjin's past relationship.

Honestly, living with his fourth brother, the Ninth Prince is like a miniature Lu Beimo, even stricter than Lu Beimo, watching his every move.

Is he planning to report to his fourth brother at any time?

However, tonight, Lu Yunfei walked beside her without any emotion whatsoever; in fact, his attitude was exceptionally good.

He doesn't seem angry at all?

"You used to dislike me seeing Lu Fengjin," Chu Yueli couldn't help but ask as she leaned over the wall of the General's Mansion.

"You're already pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child, what could you possibly do with him now?" Lu Yunfei glanced at her, as if the question were incredibly stupid.

Chu Yueli's face immediately darkened.

So, did the woman just accept her fate after getting pregnant?

It was as if she had become completely safe and incapable of doing anything out of line.

But think about it, wouldn't it be better if people believed her? Why am I overthinking things again?

No wonder some people say that pregnant women are particularly sensitive and prone to melancholy. It's true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and you're just creating trouble for yourself.

"Let's go." She leaped up from the high wall and easily flipped over.

Lu Yunfei followed closely behind her, not in the mood to think about anything else, just afraid that she might accidentally hurt herself when she landed.

For Lu Yunfei now, nothing is more important than her safety.

"Slow down, be careful! There are steps ahead! And branches on the right..."

Chu Yueli stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at him: "We're breaking into the General's mansion at night, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kill us? What if the guards find out..."

Chu Yueli's mouth can sometimes be a bit unlucky. Before she could finish speaking, a guard suddenly shouted from the back corridor, "Who goes there?"

Just as Chu Yueli was about to leap up, her arm tightened, and Lu Yunfei gently lifted her up.

The two landed lightly on the roof.

Chu Yueli was about to remind him not to worry about her, as her lightness skill was no less than his, but before she could speak, Lu Yunfei covered her mouth to prevent her from saying anything.

Chu Yueli almost rolled her eyes at him.

Who was it that kept chattering away until they caught the guards' attention?

However, the patrolling guards were right below, so even if one was in the right, one shouldn't speak up at this point.

Several guards rushed into the backyard and searched the area, but found nothing amiss.

A short while later, someone came out from the arched doorway of the east wing: "What happened?"

The guards whispered amongst themselves, unable to articulate what they were saying.

They thought there was an assassin, but they found nothing. Perhaps it was just a night owl?

Chu Yueli stared thoughtfully at the figure standing in front of the guard.

After he returned to the east wing, Chu Yueli pulled away from Lu Yunfei's hand, stood up, and quietly walked towards the east wing.

Qin Wu never expected that his room door would be opened as soon as he returned, and even more unexpectedly, the person who came in was Chu Yueli.

"Princess Consort Mo?" He was genuinely shocked, almost mistaking her for an assassin.

But why is Princess Mo here? Shouldn't she already be on her way to Sukru at this time? Their army has only just set off, hasn't it?
