Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 564 This position is ultimately too intimate.

Everyone ate and drank, and the banquet finally came to an end.

The Emperor left, and the Empress and several concubines also left.

Yu Fei didn't say a word to Lu Beimo, and when she left, she didn't even glance at him twice, leaving very decisively.

Chu Yueli knew that Yu Fei and Lu Beimo still had different political views, and the Great Demon King might not really be willing to listen to what Yu Fei and the Qin family were plotting.

Tonight, Consort Yu forced Lu Beimo to reveal his true face to his father, the Emperor. In the future, whether he follows Consort Yu and the Qin family or obeys the Emperor's will, the path of Prince Mo will never be as peaceful as before.

Lu Beimo was drinking.

He drank quite a bit tonight, and the mask was nowhere to be found; it had been completely abandoned.

What was also abandoned was probably his peaceful life in the past.

There were many people and lots of chatter at the banquet, so Chu Yueli couldn't say much to him, but if she continued drinking like this, she would really get drunk.

"His Majesty and the empresses have already returned to their palaces to rest. I'll have Jing Lei escort you back to rest as well." Chu Yueli raised her hand, took the cup from his hand, and placed it on the table.

Lu Beimo looked at her listlessly, somewhat losing interest: "Ali..."

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Chu Yueli stretched out her long finger and wrote a few words on his palm—"I'll make you some flower tea when we get back."

A hint of warmth finally returned to Lu Beimo's eyes. He nodded and stood up with her.

Unexpectedly, before he could leave, he was stopped by Andelu.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has something to say to you. Please come to the Imperial Study," An Delu said with a smile.

In that instant, Chu Yueli clearly felt Lu Beimo's body stiffen.

She quickly smiled and said, "Eunuch An, His Highness drank too much just now and is feeling a little unwell. I was just about to give him a massage. Could you please wait a moment, Eunuch An?"

An Delu did not make things difficult for him, but simply smiled and said, "This old servant will go back to help His Majesty change his clothes. Prince Mo, please go directly to the Emperor's bedchamber to see him later."

"Okay." Lu Beimo responded in a deep voice, then took Chu Yueli's hand and left.

“Eunuch An can even arrange the meeting place for the Emperor without permission, which shows that he can make decisions on such matters on a daily basis. Bei Mo, you should be a little more amiable to him in the future. He holds a significant place in the Emperor's heart.”

"Hmm," Lu Beimo responded, though it was unclear whether he had actually heard her.

He walked faster and faster, and Chu Yueli asked in surprise, "Bei Mo, where are you taking me?"

"Weren't you going to give me a massage? Then we should go somewhere where there's no one around."

Chu Yueli didn't know where he was going, so she could only turn around and wave to Chu Xiaohe, who was guarding in the distance, signaling him to return to the Duke's Mansion first.

After navigating several narrow paths, they arrived behind an artificial hill.

Lu Beimo took off his robe and spread it on the ground, looking at her.

Chu Yueli let out a sigh and sat down with a sense of helplessness.

As soon as she sat down, she felt a weight on her legs. He had actually lay down on her lap, snuggled into her arms, turned over, and turned his face toward her stomach. His eyes closed at that moment.

Chu Yueli blushed and subconsciously wanted to push him away.

This posture is too intimate after all. They didn't get married in the end. What if someone saw them?

But when he lay down on his pillow and closed his eyes, his stubborn and domineering appearance made Chu Yueli feel inexplicably pity for him.

Looking at his profile with his eyes closed in meditation, it was as if I were looking at my own son.

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Yueli reached out and gently massaged his temples with her long fingers.
