Chapter 252 I just don't want you to suffer for the rest of your life.
"An assassin?" Chu Xiaohe was startled.
Chu Yueli nodded and said, "Those assassins were after me."
"You're a woman, what enemies could you possibly have besides the Tuoba Feiyuan sisters? But those two sisters have absolutely no influence in the capital..."
Chu Xiaohe thought for a moment, then suddenly his palm tightened: "Consort Rui?"
"I have no evidence, so it's hard to say. There might still be someone lurking in the shadows. However, if it's Consort Rui, things would be much simpler."
Judging by the time, Zisu should be back soon. Chu Yueli looked at Chu Xiaohe and said, "I'll take my third aunt to see my grandfather. Eldest brother, you are now the commander of the Dragon Guard. You are responsible for the safety of all the princes."
"What does Ali want me to do?"
"Dispatch men to protect King Mo." Chu Yueli walked towards the door.
"Why?" Chu Xiaohe followed behind her, looking puzzled. "Is someone trying to harm the Prince of Mo?"
“There will definitely be many people who want to deal with him when he comes back this time, but…” Chu Yue Li was silent for a moment before turning to look at him and said, “The black wolves in the hunting grounds this time are after the Ink King.”
……
The Mo King's mansion was heavily guarded, but in reality, as long as the Mo King was in the mansion, it was not the duty of the Dragon Guard to protect him.
But Chu Xiaohe had now become the commander of the Dragon Guard, so he had to show some respect; otherwise, he would be neglecting his duties.
After Chu Xiaohe left, Chu Yueli went to the backyard.
Zisu was indeed with Huo Qing.
Huo Qing became somewhat shy when she saw her.
But Chu Yueli knew that her shyness wasn't because she wasn't familiar with her, but because of what she was going to do later.
"Ah Li, I'm a little... worried." Huo Qing stopped when she reached the entrance of Huiyan Pavilion, her heart heavy.
She was kicked out by the Duke three times, and each time she felt utterly hopeless!
Stepping into Huiyan Pavilion again, Huo Qing felt uneasy, as if each step she took weighed a ton.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and gently took her hand.
"Actually, once you see your grandfather, you'll understand everything."
Huo Qing didn't know what Chu Yueli meant by those words, but when she saw the old Duke with her own eyes, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"You've finally come back." The old duke's sigh was heavy, yet it seemed to carry a sense of relief.
Huo Qing stood aside, at a loss, and could only look at Chu Yueli, not understanding what the Duke meant by those words.
"Third Aunt, now that you're back, shouldn't you first offer Grandfather a cup of tea, and then call out...Father?"
"Father?" Huo Qing's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale instantly.
father!
She called out to herself countless times, but never dared to say it aloud.
Because no one in the Duke's mansion acknowledged her identity; in the Duke's eyes, she was merely a wild woman who had an affair with Sanlang without any matchmaker.
No one was willing to acknowledge her identity; no one respected her at all.
“Grandfather, at the autumn hunt, the Emperor personally acknowledged Third Aunt’s status as the Third Madam of the Chu family. Grandfather, there are some things you should talk to Third Aunt about, otherwise, Third Aunt will never be happy for the rest of her life.”
Huo Qing turned to look at Chu Yueli, then cautiously glanced at the old Duke, her feelings a mixture of complexity and unease.
Could it be that there was another reason why the Duke had been driving her away all this time?
At this moment, the old Duke looked at Huo Qing with a complicated expression. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly, "I just don't want you to suffer for the rest of your life."
