Chapter 418 It seems I've disturbed him.
“Miss Li, please forgive me. The Ninth Prince has always been by Her Majesty’s side. In recent years, besides studying and practicing martial arts, he has accompanied Her Majesty to various places to chant sutras and pray for blessings. He is simple-minded and his personality is... quite different from the other princes. He is indeed not very good at understanding human relationships.”
Granny Ji leaned towards Chu Yueli and said, "But he has a good heart. I've watched this child grow up since he was a child. He's just a bit straightforward and doesn't have much scheming."
"What about Prince Mo?" Chu Yueli looked at her thoughtfully. "Prince Mo grew up on the battlefield. It seems that Granny Ji and Consort Yu didn't spend much time with him."
These words may have struck a nerve with Granny Ji.
Granny Ji's eyes darkened slightly, a complex expression flashing across them.
Finally, she could only sigh and say, "Indeed, I have wronged him greatly, but Your Majesty also wishes to stay by his side forever, but His Majesty..."
Granny Ji dared not speak carelessly about the Emperor's thoughts, so she left it at that.
After all, Chu Yueli's questions were far beyond what she could ask.
"I was just a little curious and said a few words out of turn, please don't take it to heart, Granny." Chu Yueli leaned towards her as well, then turned and left.
She was actually quite familiar with the roads in the palace, but she was unfamiliar with Consort Yu's Yonghua Palace, since it was her first time here.
But once Chu Yueli stepped out of Yonghua Palace, the main roads and alleys of the inner palace were still familiar to her.
However, just as she left the palace and was about to return to the Duke's mansion, she thought about it and decided that she should go to the Prince Mo's mansion first.
She couldn't refuse; if she didn't go, the Great Demon King would definitely come looking for her, most likely in the middle of the night.
If she were to go, she wouldn't want to go at night, partly because she didn't want to give others something to say, and partly because she was actually a little nervous.
I've been feeling a bit panicked lately.
Late at night, a man and a woman alone together, if he took off his mask, I must say, he was damnably alluring.
A wise person avoids dangerous situations; one should not put oneself in danger, as an accidental clash could be disastrous.
So Chu Yue left the Mo Wang Mansion.
Strangely, when he saw him, Jing Lei's face changed slightly, revealing a barely perceptible, subtle expression.
"Did I come at the wrong time?" Chu Yueli stopped at the entrance of Lu Beimo's courtyard.
Looking up, the two large characters "Li Yuan" (离苑) are powerful and vigorous, yet also carry a sense of desolation and coldness, much like its owner.
Is this her first time properly visiting the place where Prince Mo lives?
When was the name Liyuan changed? Or has this courtyard always been named this way?
A complex emotion stirred within her, but Jing Lei's expression just now made Chu Yueli hesitate.
"Meeting guests?" She frowned, but didn't barge inside.
"No... uh, yes, there are... guests." Jing Lei couldn't hide the unease in his eyes.
This sight deepened Chu Yueli's gaze.
So what if there are guests? It's not like she's doing anything shameful. It's not like she's interrupting someone's good time.
disturb?
These two words inexplicably made Chu Yueli feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Since Your Highness is unavailable, I will not disturb you any longer. However, please convey to Your Highness that I have come and fulfilled my promise."
He can't come again tonight, and don't say she doesn't care whether he lives or dies; it's just that he's too busy.
Chu Yueli turned to leave.
Jing Lei was startled and hurriedly chased after him, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to start.
