Chapter 106 Want to see her? Unless I agree
Although Chu Yueli's words were cruel, at this point, the elder brother could no longer remain so straightforward.
Their Duke's mansion is now standing in the wind and rain, teetering on the brink of collapse. The slightest mishap could lead to total annihilation.
Chu Xiaohe immediately fell silent, his face turning extremely pale.
Consort Rui, that cunning woman, unexpectedly used the tricks of the harem to deal with him.
“Ah Li, I can’t get married. If I get married, I…” He didn’t finish his sentence.
Thanks to Ali's arrangements, the Duke's Mansion won a very impressive victory at the martial arts tournament.
The doubts and criticisms of Chu Xiaohe from the outside world also decreased significantly.
But if he were to get married now, the secret of his body would be immediately exposed.
When the time comes, Consort Rui will definitely make a big fuss about this again, and her ultimate goal will still be to take away their 100,000 Chu family soldiers.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll think of a way. If you don't want to go out these days, you can study the current situation in Southern Xinjiang carefully," Chu Yueli comforted him with a smile.
Whenever Chu Xiaohe saw his sister smile like that, his heart would inexplicably calm down.
She may look frail, but in many people's hearts, she is a pillar of strength.
However, some people may not be able to recognize this point.
"Does Ali really want me to lead troops to the southern border?"
"The war in the southern border region has become more intense in recent years. Those rebel armies are starting to stir up trouble because they see that Grandpa is getting old and can no longer hold the southern border region. The southern border region does need you, but you are not well yet and need to rest properly."
Chu Yueli continued to reassure her, "As for the matter of the arranged marriage, I will figure it out. You don't need to worry."
As they left Qinghui Pavilion, Zisu couldn't help but say, "Miss, now that this matter has been put on the agenda, I'm afraid it will be implemented soon."
"Miss wants the eldest young master to lead the Chu family army to the southern border. The emperor will definitely arrange for the eldest young master to get married before that."
Zisu's fingers twisted together, her face full of worry: "Miss, this matter is urgent, not as easy as you make it sound. You're just trying to comfort the young master."
"Don't scare him. Let him focus on studying the situation in the Southern Frontier. He'll need it sooner or later," Chu Yueli said softly.
Zisu was still uneasy: "How could the royal family easily let the eldest young master leave with the Chu family army? They intend to take the Chu family army back. I'm afraid that before the eldest young master even sets off, his secret about his body will be revealed by his new wife. At that time, the emperor will definitely use this as an excuse to say that the eldest young master is not suitable to lead the Chu family army and that the Chu family army should be taken back."
She looked at Chu Yueli: "Miss, do you really have a way?"
"I don't know either." Chu Yueli is just a person, not a god. She can't easily come up with solutions to every difficulty.
"But don't bother my elder brother with this matter for now. I'll go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager this afternoon and find out what's going on."
That afternoon, Chu Yue entered the palace, but she had no chance to see the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager and Consort Rui went to Chang Le Palace to pray for blessings.
When they returned, they heard that the Empress Dowager was unwell and went to rest as soon as she got back, so she had no time to see anyone.
Chu Yue Li waited for a full half day.
As night fell, Granny Su came and said, "The Empress Dowager is tired today and has no energy to see you. Miss Li, is there something important that you need to discuss? Or should this old servant convey your message?"
This means asking her to go back and stop disturbing the Empress Dowager's rest.
Chu Yueli leaned forward slightly and said, "I just heard that the Empress Dowager is unwell, so I came to pay my respects. Since the Empress Dowager is resting, I will come another day."
Granny Su smiled and said, "Alright, young lady, please take your time. This old servant still has to serve the Empress Dowager, so I won't see you off."
Chu Yueli nodded. As soon as she left the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, someone followed her: "You want to see the Empress Dowager? It's a pity. Unless I agree, you will not have the chance to see the Empress Dowager."
