Chapter 172 So, you did it on purpose?
"Why do you think this way, even, Brother?" Chu Yueli was a little thirsty and glanced at Zisu.
Zisu quickly poured her a cup of tea.
"That's because I watched you grow up since you were a child, and I can see your feelings for Prince Jin very clearly."
Chu Xiaohe felt helpless. Once an ordinary person picks something up like that, how could they easily put it down?
Although Ali is not an ordinary person, Ali's heart is still made of flesh and blood.
"Brother, you don't understand me."
This wasn't the first time Chu Yueli had said this, but this time, she was willing to explain seriously.
"Before Tuoba Feiyuan appeared, I really didn't think about what the consequences of marrying a prince would be. Her appearance made me realize my situation."
"I will not share a husband with other women, so Your Highness, I will avoid him from now on and will never let myself get involved."
"But you and Prince Jin..."
"Perhaps, it's more of a feeling of gratitude." Chu Yueli took a sip of tea, put the cup down, and sighed softly.
"Brother, do you still remember when I was eight years old, I experienced a great fire?"
"Of course I remember. I only regret that I wasn't by your side back then. Otherwise, I would never have let you get hurt." Every time he talks about that incident, Chu Xiaohe feels a bit guilty.
Fortunately, she was rescued by Prince Jin.
Chu Yueli smiled gently and said, "I will always remember the reassuring feeling he gave me when he lifted me out of the fire. I said, 'When I grow up, I will marry you.' I have always kept that promise in my heart."
"But now, it is he who has wronged you first!" Chu Xiaohe's heart was still full of resentment.
"But I will always remember the feeling of security I felt when he picked me up."
“Ah Li…”
“What I mean is, in this life, I will not be with Prince Jin, nor can I be with any other man. Therefore, I have asked the Emperor for permission to become a female general.”
"What?" Chu Xiaohe jumped up abruptly, his face full of unease. "Ali! Do you know that you are still an unmarried woman? You can't become a general! If you become a general, you... you can't get married!"
No one says that female generals can't get married, but everyone knows that generals have to go to the battlefield, and no family would want to marry a female general.
She's completely blocking her own future path.
"No, I must go to the palace to see the Emperor and beg him to rescind his decree before he issues it!"
After he finished speaking, he really went out.
Chu Yueli quickly chased after him and grabbed his sleeve: "Big brother, don't you understand yet? I made you volunteer to be reinforcements so that everyone could see clearly that I, Chu Yueli, am very suitable to be a female general, and my abilities are absolutely no less than any man's!"
“Ah Li…”
"How could I be doing this for Lu Fengjin? I have no feelings for him anymore. I'm doing this for my own future."
She held onto Chu Xiaohe's sleeve tightly, afraid that he would really run off to find the Emperor.
“I also want the world to see clearly that the Prince Jin was invincible in the past because he had Chu Yueli by his side. This time, without Miss Li, he suffered a crushing defeat. Brother, if I truly still loved him, why would I have gone to rescue him in such a high-profile manner?”
Chu Xiaohe was stunned. He looked down at his still gentle and kind younger sister, but his heart was slowly tightening.
"So, Ali, you... did this on purpose? You want to... overturn the image of Lu Fengjin as the God of War that the people have worked so hard to build in their hearts?"
