Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 508 Dare to Take Off Your Mask and Let Us See

Throughout history, where have there been any monarchs who were disfigured or crippled? Even if there were, such monarchs did not reign for long.

If Mo'er really becomes emperor, the pressure he will have to bear is unimaginable.

As a mother, Consort Yu naturally felt sorry for her.

She once said that she almost lost her son, and now that he's back, all she wants is to see him happy.

"Father, if the Emperor really continues to pressure us, then we might as well..."

Unexpectedly, the Duke of Qin suddenly waved his hand, looked at Qin Jianye, and asked, "Has Mo'er arrived yet?"

"I...I'll go take a look." Qin Jianye turned and went out the door.

Consort Yu looked at the Duke of Qin with some surprise: "Father?"

"I have ordered someone to inform Mo'er that his grandfather is seriously ill and to ask him to come." The Duke of Qin's face was solemn, seemingly preoccupied, but there was always a stern look in his eyes.

Consort Yu felt a vague unease.

Not long after, Qin Jianye arrived alone with Lu Beimo.

"Grandfather, Mother." Lu Beimo's face still wore the same mask that made Consort Yu feel sorry for him.

Facing her disabled son, Consort Yu was more careful than ever before, even more afraid of hurting his feelings.

Although everyone seemed to take this matter lightly in their daily conversations, Consort Yu was afraid that she might upset her son.

"Mo'er, come here." She beckoned.

Lu Beimo pursed his lips and slowly walked to her side.

From the moment he entered the room and saw his grandfather sitting in a chair, full of energy, he knew that something was going to happen tonight.

Sure enough, after staring at his mask for a while, the Duke of Qin suddenly said in a deep voice, "Mo'er, take off your mask!"

"Father!" Consort Yu stepped forward in shock and said urgently, "Father, Mo'er is already like this, why... why make him suffer even more?"

How handsome her Mo'er was in the past!

At such a young age, he was already the most handsome man in the capital.

Although Mo'er never cared about appearances, who wouldn't mind the difference between going from the most handsome man to an ugly monster in everyone's eyes?

She didn't want to see Mo'er suffer anymore.

"Father, you mustn't force Mo'er today! I..."

"What if I insist on making him take off his mask?"

Consort Yu dared not speak; it was her own father, what could she do?

Looking at Lu Beimo, she saw no resistance in his eyes, but rather a complex emotion that she couldn't decipher.

Yu Fei's heart suddenly tightened.

She didn't know what she was thinking, nor what she was suddenly uneasy about. For a moment, she wanted to rush over and impulsively take off her son's mask.

Why did she have this impulse?

"Mo'er..."

“Grandfather.” Lu Beimo looked at the Duke of Qin with a blank expression and said, “In this peaceful and prosperous era, if there is any turmoil, it will be the common people who will suffer in the end.”

"Is this world truly a peaceful and prosperous age?" Duke Qin stared at him, his face full of majesty: "Do you dare say that he is a wise ruler? With you in the north and Ming Sihai in the south, the north and south are still relatively peaceful for now! What about the southern and northern Mongols?"

"Northern Mongolia has long been someone else's territory, and Southern Mongolia has now fallen into the hands of the Khitans. The girl you like, almost her entire family perished in Southern Mongolia! Why did the reinforcements from Dingzhou arrive so late in that battle? Did you really not investigate the reasons at all? Or is it because you investigated but gradually realized something was wrong and dared not continue investigating?"
