Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 784 You brat, dare to say another word!

Unexpectedly, Chu Yueli said, "Mother cannot go to Nanmeng."

"What did you say?" Consort Yu's face darkened, and she said unhappily, "If you can go to save your husband, why can't I go to save my son?"

“Mother Consort truly cannot.” Chu Yueli squeezed her hand to soothe her irritable temper and said softly, “Over the years, Father has allowed you to leave the palace and travel around, but he has never allowed you to go to the Northern Frontier. Mother Consort, you know in your heart why.”

"No matter where Mother goes, although Father doesn't stop her, he has always had people watching her, hasn't he?"

Consort Yu remained silent, her expression slowly turning grim.

The Emperor did not interfere with her freedom, but this so-called freedom came with conditions.

For example, if she is at Mount Wutai today, the Emperor's men may not be watching her all the time, but she must take the initiative to show herself tomorrow or the day after so that the Emperor's spies know that she is still at Mount Wutai.

It's the same no matter where you go.

In short, the emperor granted her freedom, but not absolute freedom.

She could not go to the place where the King of Mo was stationed because the Emperor feared that the King of Mo would become unscrupulous and establish himself as king in the northern frontier.

I was afraid before, and it's impossible not to be afraid now; the principle is still the same.

“Mother, I understand how you feel, but you really can’t leave Father’s sight. Besides, there are some things I need your help with.”

Consort Yu was very dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied.

She didn't want to help her at all!

Consort Yu turned her face away, her expression haughty.

Chu Yueli said softly, "Mother, I don't have much time left. I came in a hurry today and didn't pack anything. I'm afraid I didn't even prepare food for the journey..."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Consort Yu said angrily.

That brat, she's always so impatient!

I don’t know whether to call her decisive or reckless. She didn’t even prepare any food for the journey. What would she eat if she got hungry?

She seemed to have forgotten that there was such a thing as "military rations" in this world; she only got angry when Chu Yueli said that they hadn't even prepared any food.

"Granny, quickly prepare some dried meat and fruit, something suitable to eat on the road, hurry!"

Granny Ji, who was guarding outside the door, was quite helpless.

Your Majesty, you're only tough on the outside, but your heart is always incredibly soft.

"Yes, I'll go prepare it for the Princess right away." Granny Ji immediately went to get busy.

Chu Yue felt a warmth in her heart, but she knew that what she was about to say would probably anger her mother again.

"Mother, I know you originally had the power to command 100,000 troops..."

"I've already returned it to your father!" Consort Yu was furious. Her son and daughter-in-law were both so displeasing!

If Lu Beimo hadn't pretended to be disfigured and hadn't shown any intention of seizing power, leaving her disheartened, she wouldn't have succumbed to the emperor's pressure and handed over her military power.

After handing over military power, he told her that he was perfectly fine and fully qualified to be the crown prince.

He's deliberately trying to annoy her!

Chu Yueli smiled faintly and said, "I know, but doesn't the Qin family still have military strength?"

"What do you want to do? You brat, dare to say another word!" Consort Yu instantly became furious, staring straight at Chu Yueli.

But Chu Yueli was not intimidated by her anger at all. Her face still had a calm and gentle smile: "I would definitely not be able to borrow the Qin family's troops if I asked them, but it's different for you, Mother. The Duke of Qin dotes on you. As long as you ask, this matter will definitely be accomplished."
