Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Yuwen Shu finally left.

There was no farewell banquet.

Having made up their minds to do something, they didn't want to waste a single moment and left immediately.

Yuwen Ying was kept behind.

In the following days, Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo personally reviewed their troops and prepared for battle.

Tomorrow, we will officially set off.

Tonight, after the soldiers rested, the entire camp was filled with joy and harmony.

Because Yuwen Ying announced something tonight.

The Gu poison in Chu Xiaohe's body has been completely removed.

There were no Gu worms, no Gu poison, nothing at all.

Today, Chu Xiaohe is healthier than most people.

But Chu Yue Li still had some doubts.

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

"Young Madam is taking a bath and changing clothes." Zisu brought over a plate of hot dishes and said with a smile, "Princess Yingying has kept her locked up for several days and she hasn't been able to bathe for days. She thinks she's dirty and is still washing herself."

Chu Yueli went out to take a look and saw that Chu Xiaohe was guarding outside the door not far away.

He looked a little uneasy.

"You and Yunfei watch over Bao'er, I'm going to check on her." After instructing Lu Beimo, she went out from the side hall and quickly walked to Chu Xiaohe.

"Brother, what's going on? Didn't Princess Yingying say that sister-in-law is alright? Why are you still so worried?"

“The princess did say she was alright, but…” Chu Xiaohe hesitated, seemingly troubled.

"Is there something wrong with it?" Chu Yueli was also very nervous because of him.

Chu Xiaohe let out a breath, feeling lost and heavy-hearted.

"She's... fine, but her face..."

"Big brother!"

"The princess said to force all the toxins in her body to her face, so Li'er's face... perhaps... perhaps will..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Chu Yueli understood what he meant.

"Brother, if your sister-in-law's face can never be healed, will you still pity and love her as before?" she asked.

"Of course!" Chu Xiaohe said this with more conviction than anyone else.

"I like Li'er, but it's never because of her face. Back then, there were girls who were prettier than her..."

"Brother, I advise you to be careful with your words." Chu Yueli almost couldn't help but laugh.

Does this person even know how to talk?

The eldest sister-in-law and Princess Yingying were inside. They weren't deliberately lowering their voices, so the eldest sister-in-law could hear them.

Chu Xiaohe didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said; he was just stating the facts.

Chu Yueli knew that her older brother sometimes really didn't know how to be flexible.

But that's just how he is; he's incredibly straightforward.

Chu Xiaohe looked at the tightly closed door in front of him and knew that Tuoba Liuli could hear him.

He said gently, "Li'er, no matter what, as long as you can stay by my side, that will be enough for me in this life. Li'er, I am so glad that you are still alive. To me, your life is the most important thing. No matter how your face changes, I am glad that you are still here."

"Li'er, if you're better, come out and see me, okay?"

"Since you say you're not afraid, then why are you so uneasy?" No one inside responded. Chu Yueli didn't want to see her older brother so anxious, so she could only try to find a topic to make him feel more relaxed.

Chu Xiaohe was still helpless.

“I don’t mind, but your sister-in-law does. She’s afraid of herself… afraid of becoming an old woman.”

"What would you do if you really became an old woman?"

The door was suddenly opened, and Yuwen Ying came out.
