Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 424 Walls have ears

Just as Chu Yueli had thought, those who could come here without being stopped by the guards must be people from their household.

Standing outside the door now is Tuoba Liuli, who has come all this way through trial and error.

"Is my third brother... really in grave danger?" She groped around and grabbed Chu Xiaohe's sleeve.

The maid behind her explained tremblingly, "The Seventh Princess heard...heard someone saying something in the courtyard..."

"I understand, you can go now." Chu Yueli waved her hand.

After the maid left, Chu Xiaohe helped Tuoba Liuli into the room, and Chu Yueli closed the door.

Tuoba Liuli was pale. After sitting down in the chair, she still grabbed Chu Xiaohe's clothes and looked up in his direction: "Is my third brother really in grave danger? Brother Chu, don't lie to me."

She had just vaguely heard the words "more bad than good".

She grew up with Tuoba Yi. Although Tuoba Yi was not her biological brother, he was the only one in the entire palace with whom she had the best relationship.

For Tuoba Liuli, Tuoba Yi was her own brother.

Now that Tuoba Yi is in trouble, how could she not be worried?

Chu Xiaohe and Chu Yueli exchanged glances. Chu Xiaohe looked down at the hand that was clutching his clothes; the knuckles were white, and the fingers were trembling slightly.

She was really scared.

"Seventh Princess, what I said just now was just my guess. We didn't actually see the scene with our own eyes, so I don't know what the Third Prince's current situation is either."

Chu Yueli squeezed her hand; the hand was cold and had no warmth at all, which showed how flustered she was.

Just as Chu Yueli was about to say something more, Chu Yi suddenly knocked urgently on the door: "Young Master, the Emperor summons you to the palace immediately!"

……

Chu Xiaohe was summoned to the palace, but no one knew why for the time being.

After persuading Tuoba Liuli to go back and rest, Chu Yueli immediately went to Langyue Pavilion.

Huo Qing was drying medicine in the backyard.

"Third Aunt, what's the progress on the Five Poisons Regenerating Ointment that I asked you to make?" Chu Yueli asked hurriedly.

Huo Qing could tell that she was busy today.

"You've come at the right time. My medicine is ready and waiting for you to inspect it. But, has something important happened in the manor today?"

Huo Qing turned and walked towards the pharmacy, with Chu Yueli following behind her.

This pharmacy was set up by Huo Qing herself after she arrived, specifically for making medicine.

She was not only a master of poisons, but also a master of alchemy. In the past, due to a lack of money, she could not buy many medicinal herbs and could not make medicine in large quantities.

After arriving, with Chu Yueli's full support, her pharmacy now has all kinds of pills and ointments, all of which Chu Yueli needs.

"By the way, I've prepared the list you made last time. See if you need anything else. I'm free these next couple of days."

However, Huo Qing had some doubts. "Why does Ali need so much medicine? Do you mean you're planning to go out?"

"Just because it's not available now doesn't mean it won't be available in the future. Medicine has a long shelf life; it won't spoil for at least two or three years."

Huo Qing moved her lips, but didn't say anything more.

The wall has ears.

She understood that even if Ali didn't plan to go out at the moment, she would definitely do so within two or three years.

"How is Grandfather's health now?" Chu Yueli suddenly asked.

Huo Qing pursed her lips, and after a long while, she said softly, "At the slowest, it will take three months, at the fastest... one month."
