Chapter 572 He's getting more and more senile with age.

When Chu Yueli woke up, there was indeed no one beside her.

He was very true to his promise. He drank so much last night that he was sleepy and tired, but he still managed to disappear from her room before dawn this morning.

She turned around, hugged the blanket that had been covering Lu Beimo last night, closed her eyes, and smelled it.

What should I do? It seems I'm becoming more and more dependent on him.

What if I lose him one day? How will I live?

"Miss." Zisu was knocking on the door from outside.

Chu Yueli then removed the blanket covering Lu Beimo and sat up on the edge of the bed: "What is it?"

"Can I come in?" Zisu asked cautiously.

"Come in." Chu Yueli threw back the covers, got out of bed, and got dressed.

When Chu Yueli saw Zisu come in, she couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on her face.

Zisu knew that Prince Mo had stayed here last night; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked so cautiously outside.

But if they still come in under these circumstances, they must have something to say.

Chu Yueli asked directly, "What happened?"

“It’s not that something happened, it’s just…” Zisu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Eunuch An came early this morning and invited Madam Qing into the palace, saying that he wanted to ask Madam to teach the Fourteenth Prince riding and archery.”

Chu Yue's heart tightened, and she asked anxiously, "Where is Third Aunt?"

"She has already gone with Eunuch An." Zisu was really uneasy because she could tell that Madam Qing was completely unwilling.

"She was afraid that if she refused, it would implicate the Duke's mansion. But why did the Emperor order her to tutor the Fourteenth Prince? He had never shown such concern for the Fourteenth Prince before."

Zisu stayed by Chu Yueli's side day and night, and learned quite a bit about the royal family through what she saw and heard.

Although the fourteenth prince is the empress's son, he is only six years old. For the emperor, he is too far away to be of any use and cannot be relied upon.

Therefore, none of the court officials were willing to side with the Fourteenth Prince.

Now, they're getting nervous about the Fourteenth Prince's abilities? And they're even dragging Lady Qing into it?

Chu Yueli snorted coldly, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "I'm afraid his real intention is not what he seems. This old man is getting more and more senile with age!"

"Miss!" Zisu was almost scared to death by her and quickly reminded her, "Be careful what you say!"

Chu Yueli was genuinely furious.

Although her third aunt was an elder, she was young and beautiful. In addition, she was simple and straightforward, and her skills were extraordinary. Her clean and efficient way of doing things made her very likable.

But she only had Sanlang in her heart! Outsiders had no idea how deep and heavy her feelings for Sanlang were!

The emperor already has three thousand beauties in his harem, yet he still falls in love with every one he sees!

"His body is extremely weak and depleted; he has no capacity to do anything wrong. Yet, even in this state, he still wants to seduce another man's wife. It's utterly despicable!"

Chu Yueli clenched her fists, wishing she could punch the dog emperor in the face.

“But he is the emperor, and we are his subjects. It has always been the subjects who obey the emperor. Madam Qing must know this principle as well.”

That's why Zisu was so anxious and uneasy, and rushed to find her.

Chu Yueli thought about it and also felt uneasy. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes.

Looking back at Zisu, Chu Yueli said urgently, "Go to the storeroom and prepare some gifts for me. Make sure they are decent, like ginseng and bird's nest. Be quick! I need to go to the palace to pay my respects to Consort Yu."
