Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Mother and Bao'er will not be coming back." Chu Yueli looked at Lu Yunfei, who was anxious, and said calmly, "They have already set off for the Northern Frontier."

"What?" Lu Yunfei was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, looking at Chu Yueli with shock in his eyes.

"Is what Fourth Sister-in-law said true?"

Why has no one mentioned this to him?

"We're not telling you because we don't trust you..."

"Of course I know!" What time is it? Did you still think he would get angry at the drop of a hat like before?

Seeing his expression, Chu Yueli finally felt completely relieved.

This kid has really grown up.

"I'm not telling you because I want you to keep anxious, at least to show some people that you're anxious. After all, you're not a good actor, and if you're just pretending to be anxious, you probably won't fool anyone."

Therefore, Lu Yunfei's anxious state was actually part of the plan.

"As for where Mother Consort and Bao'er are now, we don't know either. They haven't been gone long and are still within the Dongling area. I'm afraid they haven't gone far enough, so we need to buy them some more time."

"I understand now. When you sent Mother to Qinyang to meet up with Grandpa and the others, you already had a plan for them to leave?"

It was the Fourth Prince's wife and brother who were farsighted and prepared for the future.

If it were him, he probably would never have thought of this.

"There were two possible outcomes in the original plan. One was that if we couldn't rescue my father, then the battle in the capital would probably have to go on for a long time."

Lu Beimo glanced at Chu Yueli. His little wife and he were of one mind. Many times, they didn't need to communicate at all. A single glance was enough for them to know each other's thoughts.

But Yunfei is still young... cough, actually, Ali is even younger than Yunfei, but Ali's ability to think things through is something Lu Yunfei can't compare to.

Lu Beimo continued, "If we cannot rescue Father Emperor, in the end, either I will seize military power and ascend the throne, or the Empress's faction will take control of the government. Neither of these outcomes is what I desire. And if I stay here to become emperor, the people around me will definitely be in great danger."

With the political situation unstable and chaotic, his reign as emperor may not last long. The other princes, nobles, and high-ranking officials each have their own agendas and could easily start another war.

Bao'er is still too weak. If she stays in the capital, she will become their weakness and a target of attack.

"The second outcome is what we have now: Father Emperor has been rescued, but after this upheaval, he will definitely be more cautious than before. Consort Rui is an example, and we are also afraid that Mother Consort and Bao'er will become the second pawns to be controlled."

Therefore, regardless of the outcome, it is not appropriate for the mother and Bao'er to stay.

"Is Grandpa also willing to go to the Northern Frontier?" Although Lu Yunfei didn't know much about his grandfather's thoughts, he at least knew a little about them.

The world of Dongling originally belonged to the Qin family.

The appearance of the three Lu brothers changed the entire situation, but the three Lu brothers had promised that once the country was stable, it would be returned to the Qin family.

My maternal grandfather's only wish over the years has been to support his fourth brother to become emperor.

He could choose not to restore the Qin family's empire, and he knew it was impossible to truly restore it, but at the very least, the emperor had to be someone from the Qin family.

And the fourth prince is the most suitable candidate.

Now that the emperor's regime is unstable, is Grandfather really willing to give up such a good opportunity and take Bao'er and Mother to the northern frontier?
