Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 189 Do you know you're wrong?

Lu Fengjin's wounds have been healing well recently, and he seems to be in good health.

Consort Rui has been visiting more frequently these past few days, and the Emperor seems to be particularly lenient with her, even granting her a pass to leave the palace so she can visit her son at any time.

This was truly a rare privilege among the concubines.

The concubines in the harem dared not speak out against this, for they all knew that a mother's status depended on her son. Because of her son, the War God Prince Jin, Consort Rui was practically on equal footing with the Empress in the harem.

Upon learning that Tuoba Feiyuan was still imprisoned in the woodshed, Consort Rui was satisfied.

"Although I am full of resentment towards that scheming brat Chu Yueli, I am even more disgusted with that ignorant and arrogant country bumpkin who only drags you down."

She looked at Lu Fengjin and said softly with a smile, "Jin'er, your mother has selected some beautiful women for you these past two days, as well as some with unique personalities. Take a look at them."

She had ordered Granny Xiu to bring the paintings today. The paintings were unfurled one by one in front of Lu Fengjin, and many of them were very beautiful.

But Lu Fengjin watched with a perpetually lacking interest.

“Mother, if we’re talking about beauty, who in the capital can compare to Ali? But I don’t care about that.”

Lu Fengjin was indeed not interested. He waved his hand, signaling Granny Xiu to take the scroll back.

It was only when Consort Rui mentioned Tuoba Feiyuan that he remembered that he had locked Tuoba Feiyuan in the woodshed for several days.

These past few days he's been busy dealing with unfinished official business, preparing for the autumn hunt, and recovering from his injuries, and hasn't thought about Tuoba Feiyuan at all.

"Mother, all I want to do right now is win the championship at the Autumn Hunt. I don't want to think about anything else."

"Have the team members been selected?" He had been injured before, and although the autumn hunt was postponed, Consort Rui was still very worried about her son's health.

Lu Fengjin said, "My wounds have healed almost completely in the past few days. There are still several days until the Autumn Hunting Competition. If I continue to recuperate during this period, it will not affect the finals of the Autumn Hunting Competition."

“The Prince Mo’s Mansion will also participate this year. He is your formidable rival. The Prince Jin’s Mansion is also missing Chu Xiaohe… Although Mother Consort doesn’t think that Chu Xiaohe can achieve much, he is indeed quite skilled in riding and archery.”

This shift in power is ultimately very disadvantageous to them.

"Don't worry, Mother. I have already found a good candidate and I will never let you down."

After seeing Consort Rui off, Qin Wu couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, our team is currently... still missing one person."

"How is Yuan'er doing these days?" Lu Fengjin went out the door and headed towards the woodshed in the backyard.

Qin Wu could only answer truthfully: "It was noisy and disruptive at first, but it quieted down after half a day and hasn't made any noise since."

During the conversation, Lu Fengjin was already standing not far from the door of the woodshed.

In this place, he imprisoned Yuan'er, whom he had once cherished, for several days.

But at this moment, Lu Fengjin felt little pity.

He waved his hand, and Qin Wu immediately went inside and brought Tuoba Feiyuan out.

After being imprisoned for several days, Tuoba Feiyuan lost her arrogance and her sharpness was worn down. She lost weight and looked listless.

She saw Lu Fengjin, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.

Lu Fengjin originally thought she would definitely make a big fuss, and he had even mentally prepared himself to feel extremely disgusted with her.

But she didn't make a fuss, she didn't even cry, she just quietly looked at herself, which made people feel a little sorry for her.

He finally softened a little: "You've been locked up for a few days, do you know you were wrong?"
