Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The Emperor's gaze fell upon An Delu at that moment.

An Delu was immediately covered in cold sweat.

Having been with the Emperor for decades, I never imagined that I would become the most trusted person by his side.

Although the emperor quickly withdrew his glance, most people wouldn't have had a chance to notice it.

But at this moment, apart from Lu Yunfei and Lu Qinian, the people present were no ordinary people.

Chu Yueli subconsciously squeezed Lu Beimo's hand.

This son, even though he devoted himself to his father and risked his life, could never gain the emperor's complete trust.

Is kinship within the royal family truly so indifferent?

Their baby was also born into the royal family. Chu Yueli couldn't imagine that one day, if there were such a rift between them and their baby, and they distrusted each other, then what would be the meaning of their family of three's life?

Lu Beimo didn't speak, but simply squeezed Chu Yueli's hand gently in return.

Don't worry, that family of three will never end up like that!

The Emperor looked at Lu Beimo again.

Lu Beimo hurriedly said, "Father, rest assured, your imperial seal is here."

He did not keep the imperial seal in his hand, but handed it to Lu Yunfei.

Ultimately, even Lu Beimo himself knew that his achievements overshadowed the emperor, and as the king of the Northern Frontier, his every move would cause a huge uproar.

If the imperial seal falls into his hands, it will be an extremely terrible thing for the emperor.

Although whether it's in Lu Yunfei's hands or his, the truth is that if he wants it, the imperial seal will definitely fall into his control.

But at least Yunfei is more harmless.

The Emperor's expression changed slightly, and An Delu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Seal was originally in the Empress's hands. It was the Fourteenth Prince who found it and gave it to Mo... to the Ninth Prince."

Lu Yunfei hurriedly said, "Now that Father has awakened, the Imperial Seal should naturally be returned to Father for safekeeping."

He walked to the bedside and presented the jade seal with both hands.

An Delu immediately took the imperial seal and whispered, "This servant is ignorant of martial arts. I was afraid that if I held the imperial seal in my hand, it would be easily taken away. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"You have kept the imperial seal so well, what crime have you committed?" The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief as the imperial seal was returned to An Delu's hands.

"An Delu, immediately draft a letter for me. I need to recall troops and arrest the Empress."

"Yes!"

For a long time afterward, everyone simply waited in their rooms, waiting for An Delu to write a letter, for the Emperor to stamp it, and for the Emperor to give instructions.

Consort Rui remained kneeling by the bed, not daring to speak, and not even daring to breathe heavily.

She is herself, or she is a criminal.

After all, when his son was in Nanmeng, he had led troops to ambush the Mo King's northern cavalry.

Andelu finished writing his last letter, and the Emperor stamped it.

Seeing that the Emperor was about to rest, Consort Rui dared to kneel down and whisper, "Your Majesty, Jin'er... Jin'er will arrive in another day."

"Prince Jin has returned with over 60,000 personal guards," An Delu immediately reported.

The more than 60,000 personal guards were soldiers who survived the battle in southern Mongolia.

Although they won the battle, there are never any real winners in war; people always die in war.

Lu Fengjin led an army of 100,000, but only 60,000 of his men returned. Even though he won, the losses were heavy.

Consort Rui looked at the Emperor with expectation in her eyes, but dared not utter a sound.

At this moment, the Emperor looked at Lu Beimo and asked, "Where is Mo'er? How many troops did he bring back?"
