Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 326 With A-Li, I can die without regrets

"I'm just...too shocked." Everyone has curiosity, especially when it comes to something so important.

She really didn't check.

Lu Beimo trusted Chu Yueli too much. If A-Li said she wouldn't investigate, she definitely wouldn't. But the fact that she didn't investigate was itself unreasonable.

Most people can't do that.

"Would you harm the country and its people?" Chu Yueli suddenly asked.

Lu Beimo shook his head.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his face gradually turned pale.

The medicine was taking effect, and his body began to feel uncomfortable. Soon, it became burning hot, like a ball of fire.

But he still held on, holding Chu Yueli's hand, unwilling to let go, staring at her face, his gaze unwilling to leave her for even a moment.

“Since you won’t harm the people, then if you say you won’t investigate, I won’t investigate. I’ll give you time to resolve this matter yourself.” Chu Yueli squeezed his large hand and laughed, “I should have let you eat a couple of bites of noodles before giving you your medicine. Right now, you’d probably be starving and unconscious for a whole day.”

But this joke did not relax Lu Beimo's expression.

He continued to stare at her, his eyes, which were gradually losing their luster, yet held a poignant and helpless emotion.

"Stop talking. I know what you're trying to say."

She smiled, a smile that, at least to Lu Beimo, was one he had never seen before, a smile of tenderness.

“I don’t like misunderstandings, and I hate a life of torture for the sake of torture. Since I trust you, I will trust you to the end. If you can resolve this yourself, then the Dragon Guard will not pursue the matter further until they harm the common people and members of the royal family again.”

Therefore, ceasing the investigation was conditional, and Lu Beimo understood that she had a clear sense of what was being done.

Lu Beimo finally closed his eyes. Before falling into a deep sleep, he said in a hoarse voice, "...With Ali in my life, I have no regrets even in death."

Although the voice was very soft, Chu Yueli heard it clearly, word by word.

After covering him with the blanket, Chu Yueli went to the table and quickly finished a large bowl of noodles.

After that, she stayed by his bedside, wiping his sweat from time to time.

Lu Beimo's high fever didn't subside until after dawn.

The person was still unconscious, but seeing that the two lips, which were originally dark, had turned pale, Chu Yueli knew that the poison should have almost worn off.

Zisu was still waiting outside the door.

More than an hour later, Chu Xiaohe returned from the palace.

Chu Yueli covered Lu Beimo with a blanket before leaving the house.

Seeing Zisu guarding the courtyard, Chu Xiaohe had a bad feeling.

Seeing Chu Yueli come out, he quickly went over and whispered, "Ali, inside..."

"The prince has been poisoned, so I've had him heal here," Chu Yueli whispered.

Chu Xiaohe wanted to ask something more, but in the end, he didn't.

If Ali and Prince Mo's relationship can lead to a happy ending, he would be happy to see it. He has great respect for Prince Mo, and even admires him to some extent.

However, Chu Xiaohe still had some questions about what happened last night.

"Ah Li, the Prince has ordered the cave sealed off, and we can't find any clues about the mastermind behind those people. Also, the person we brought back from Qingfangzhai committed suicide by poisoning himself."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yueli showed no surprise, as if she had already expected it.

Chu Xiaohe glanced at the doorway again. He had many questions, but since Ali hadn't said anything, he didn't seem to need to ask.

"Then, Ali, how do you explain this to the Emperor? Tell me, and your elder brother will listen to you."

Chu Yueli couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, you are a loyal subject! These words are somewhat 'disloyal'."
