Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 169 I will make her disappear forever.

This is the third day since Chu Yueli and her brother rescued Prince Jin.

Chu Xiaohe entered the palace early in the morning to meet the emperor. Because of his merits in rescuing Prince Jin and quelling the rebellion, he was rewarded with many things by the emperor.

However, that evening, the Emperor summoned Chu Yueli to the palace.

"General Chu said that the success in wiping out the rebels this time was all thanks to you?"

Chu Yueli lowered her eyes and said softly, "Your Majesty, it is all thanks to my elder brother and Commander Wan. I only did my part and dare not take credit."

"Ah."

The Emperor smiled faintly, looking at the girl standing in the Imperial Study.

She was already a graceful seventeen-year-old girl.

He looked at Chu Yueli at this moment, but there seemed to be a trace of confusion in his eyes.

It was as if she were looking at another person.

"An Delu, do you think he looks like him?" the Emperor asked.

Chu Yueli remained silent, quietly accepting the scrutinizing gazes of the two.

An Delu knew, of course, who the Emperor was referring to: Ming Ruonan, the most beautiful woman in the Southern Frontier.

An Delu nodded and said, "Indeed, they look very similar, the more you look at them, the more similar they become! Not only are their eyebrows similar, but their mannerisms and demeanor are almost identical, only they lack a bit of the masculine spirit of General Ming."

Ming Ruonan was a top-notch expert back then.

But Chu Yueli in front of him was completely ignorant of martial arts.

What a pity.

Chu Yueli could roughly guess what they were lamenting about, but she kept her lips pursed, remaining as quiet as a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.

The Emperor looked again and felt that he liked the pretty girl in front of him more and more.

“Heh,” he chuckled again before continuing, “Commander Wan has already told me that you were the one who scouted ahead and analyzed all the enemy situations clearly and accurately.”

"As for Jin'er, I also sent someone to ask her. The soldiers were trapped in the rock formation. It was your keen eyes that saw through the formation and brought the brothers out safely. You also found the soldiers who were trapped in another part of the stone forest."

It can be said that without Chu Yueli, not only would Prince Jin not have survived, but the more than 6,000 soldiers would have starved to death in the chaotic rock formation.

"You've taken all the credit, yet you're completely denying it. Do you think I'm foolish and want to deceive me?"

"Ah Li wouldn't dare!" Chu Yue Li seemed startled and hurriedly explained, "Ah Li is just a weak woman. Even if I have merit, it's nothing more than clever trickery. Compared to my elder brother and Commander Wan, I'm far inferior."

"That brat Wan Yinghao is usually quite arrogant, but he praised you highly, which shows how outstanding you are."

Seeing that she still wanted to explain, the Emperor waved his hand.

Chu Yueli had no choice but to shut her mouth and dare not say anything more.

The Emperor then said, "He clearly possesses exceptional skills, yet he always conceals his brilliance, remaining unassuming and unassuming, but he has made a name for himself in a single moment."

Chu Yueli didn't know what the Emperor wanted to say, so she could only respond calmly, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty."

"Ali, I have something to say to you frankly."

It was almost night, and keeping a young lady in the imperial study at this hour was bound to cause some unpleasant rumors to spread.

So, after a moment of silence, the Emperor finally got to the point.

"Ali, I understand your feelings for Jin'er."

They're just kids; they make a fuss, and then it's all over.

The Battle of Xishan revealed Chu Yueli's deep affection for Prince Jin, a love that shook heaven and earth.

The Emperor looked at Chu Yueli with piercing eyes: "Don't worry, I will make that woman surnamed Tuoba disappear forever, and I will never let her threaten your position as Princess Jin."
