Resisting the Wind and Splendor

In other words, action must be taken within three days.

Otherwise, if the Empress and Prince Jin join forces, their chances of winning will be greatly reduced!

“I have also heard about the rebellion of Prince Jin in Nanmeng.”

After a moment of contemplation, Consort Yu suddenly said, "Don't worry, I'll handle Prince Jin's situation. I'll find someone to slow him down, but you must resolve the matters in the palace within five days at most."

"If we can outsmart them, that would be best. If not, we must fight back, even if it means bloodshed. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance once the Empress's power is fully consolidated."

“Her power is not yet secure. Seeing that we are about to return to the city, even if we do not make a move, she will strike first.”

Therefore, starting tomorrow, they will not enter the city, and the Empress's personal guards should also leave the city.

"Our presence here tonight is to let the Empress know that we are on guard against everything in the capital. Given her years of scheming, she will surely strike first thing tomorrow morning."

Chu Yueli looked at Consort Yu: "Mother, there will definitely be a fierce battle here. We won't be able to wait for Prince Jin to return, so it's pointless for you to go and stop him."

"Do you think you can end this battle within three days?" Consort Yu was somewhat surprised. Wouldn't three days be too short a time?

She didn't want to say that her son and daughter-in-law were too arrogant. After all, she knew Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo quite well, and neither of them were the type to be arrogant.

But three days is really difficult.

"It's either win or lose. Three days is enough." Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo exchanged glances.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Consort Yu clearly understood the implication in Chu Yueli's words.

“I hope you can take Bao’er away from the battlefield and send him to Qinyang to reunite with his maternal grandfather.”

Bao'er is still too young, but in this battle, they all have to do everything themselves and don't have the extra energy to protect him.

Only by sending her to Qinyang and back to the army can Bao'er be safe.

Just then, Zisu entered the room carrying a child.

The child looked to be no more than six months old, with a delicate and exquisitely beautiful face that brought tears to Yu Fei's eyes at first sight.

"My...my precious grandson." Consort Yu wanted to hug him, but hesitated.

Her two sons are both grown up, and she hasn't held such a small and fragile child in almost twenty years.

I'm afraid that when I hold him, I won't be able to control my strength and might hurt my precious grandson.

"Your Highness, it's actually very easy. You can just hold her like this." Zisu carefully placed Bao'er in Consort Yu's arms.

Unexpectedly, the soft and cuddly little guy grinned when he was in Yu Fei's arms.

Consort Yu was so moved that she almost burst into tears again.

"Ali, Beimo, I... are you really comfortable entrusting Bao'er to me?" Consort Yu was still very nervous.

"Don't worry, Zisu and Liuyun will accompany you along the way, as well as the eighteen riders." Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo had already planned it out, even thinking of the route for them.

Zisu also said, "I have packed the young prince's things, and we can set off at any time."

"At this time?" Consort Yu looked shocked. This... is too anxious, isn't it?

“If we wait until dawn, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave.” Chu Yueli walked up to Consort Yu and looked at her son.

Since her son was born, they have rarely been apart. This time, it might be at least several months before they can see each other again.

She felt extremely reluctant to part with it.

"Mother, please take good care of my son and wait for our good news."
