Chapter 457 Could it be that the mistake has been exposed?
In fact, Chu Yueli understood, she had always understood.
But deep down, there was always a sense of resentment.
But after hearing Lu Beimo's words, she suddenly realized that her resentment was utterly worthless in front of him.
If she treats her own son this way, imagine how she would treat an outsider like her.
"Have you ever thought about becoming an emperor?" she suddenly asked.
"You want me to be emperor?" Lu Beimo lowered his eyes, staring at her face, which was flushed from the smell of alcohol.
"If you were the emperor, would you be jealous and doubt the loyalty of your subjects?" But after asking this question, Chu Yueli laughed self-deprecatingly.
Throughout history, which monarch could truly trust their ministers completely? A monarch without suspicion would likely not hold the throne for long.
"Bei Mo, you should become emperor. If you become emperor, at least the loyal and patriotic soldiers will have a good ending."
She didn't know how long she had been drinking, but deep down she felt a heavy weight in her heart.
In the end, her mind went blank, her body went limp, and she slumped into Lu Beimo's arms, slowly resting her head on his lap.
"I don't want you to go to Southern Mongolia, it's too dangerous. You finally came back from Northern Xinjiang. Southern Mongolia... I'll go by myself..."
She fell asleep, and as her hand loosened, the jar of wine silently slipped from her grasp.
But Lu Beimo didn't let the wine jar fall to the ground. Instead, the moment she let go, he caught the jar, raised his hand, and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
The moonlight, as clear as water, fell upon her face, making her already slightly flushed cheeks even more rosy, and she looked indescribably beautiful.
His long fingers landed on her face, the pads of his fingers feeling the softness of her cheek skin, slowly tracing over it little by little.
Since he knew that Nanmeng was dangerous, why would he let her go there by herself?
Little Ali, your business is also my business.
I will personally find your parents' remains.
……
Chu Yueli didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found herself back in Wangyue Pavilion of the Duke's Mansion, on her big bed.
Lu Beimo...
She sat up suddenly.
Not only was the Great Demon King nowhere to be seen in the room, but even his signature fresh scent was absent.
A long, long time ago, she heard her master say that falling in love with someone starts with liking their scent.
Chu Yueli realized that she actually quite liked the refreshing scent that the Great Demon King possessed.
It's not strong or ostentatious, but rather light and refreshing, making people feel at ease and comfortable.
Could it be that I really, really like that guy?
She touched her cheek.
Outside, Zisu carried a basin of hot water and walked in quietly.
"Miss, you're awake? Perfect timing to wash up. Let's hurry and find the young master to discuss something." She put down the basin and immediately went to find clothes for Chu Yueli.
"What are we discussing?" Lu Shangfeng's image flashed through Chu Yueli's mind.
Being beaten up for no reason should be investigated, but surely they shouldn't come knocking on our door so quickly?
Did she slip up somewhere last night? But she didn't seem to have said a word the whole way.
However, the Great Demon King seems to be smiling?
Oh no, did they recognize the Great Demon King's laughter?
That guy was so careless!
Chu Yueli quickly tidied herself up and followed Zisu to Chu Xiaohe's courtyard, only to find Tuoba Liuli there as well.
"Brother, Prince Ning, he..."
Chu Xiaohe looked at Chu Yueli with a solemn expression: "This morning, he was summoned to the palace by the Emperor, and he has not been released yet."
