Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 567 Remember, your surname is Lu.

Lu Beimo met his gaze, but such a terrifying question failed to cause any change in his expression.

He said calmly, "Today's Dongling is a strong and prosperous country. Although it is still unstable due to external threats, as long as the whole country works together, the rebels and bandits will be completely eliminated one day and will not be a problem."

"Grandpa is getting old, how could he have any great ambitions? My two uncles are indeed good generals, but they are only suitable to be good generals. If they are given the opportunity, they will definitely do their best to protect the country."

"As for Mother Consort, Father should know very well that she has returned all the military power she held to Father. She is loyal to Father, and I beg Father to see this clearly."

Every word Lu Beimo utters could bring about utter disaster if spoken carelessly.

But he remained calm and composed throughout his speech, showing no sign of unease, and appeared to have no flaws whatsoever.

The Emperor was unsure whether to believe it or not, but he was certain that his son would understand some things.

"Your surname is Lu."

Lu Beimo leaned forward and said, "Your subject has never forgotten."

"Good, just remember this, and everything will be fine." The Emperor seemed relieved, his gaze falling on the boy's face, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Five years have passed, and your father has been constantly worried, not knowing..."

But after hesitating for a moment, he swallowed back the words that followed "I don't know".

silence.

After an unknown period of silence, the Emperor finally spoke again: "How could I not know your maternal grandfather's little schemes? But he is still your maternal grandfather. As long as some things are not excessive, I can turn a blind eye and not pursue the matter."

"Father, rest assured. Just as I said, my grandfather is getting old and can no longer do much. As for my mother, the fact that she has handed over military power to General Yang is enough to show that she has no ulterior motives towards you. Father, please do not betray her loyalty."

The Emperor smiled and said, "Good! With your words, I am relieved. From now on, as long as you are devoted to the country and its people, I will never let you down!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly coughed.

Lu Beimo frowned slightly and took a step forward: "Father's health..."

"It's just an old ailment, nothing serious." The Emperor waved his hand, and after catching his breath, he said, "Your wedding is imminent, and there must be many things to prepare. Go back early and make good preparations. Ali is also a woman I have high hopes for. She is exceptionally intelligent, and in the future, with her by your side, she will definitely be a great help to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will cherish Ali and will never let her down," Lu Beimo nodded.

But these words caused something to flash across the Emperor's eyes.

“Ah Li… is indeed very good, but you are a person destined for great things. Those who achieve great things cannot be too obsessed with women in the future…”

The emperor still didn't make his point clear, but he believed that leaving room for maneuver was the best approach.

Later, he felt a little tired, whether it was because he had drunk too much wine or because he was not feeling well. However, Lu Beimo could tell that his father was indeed very weak after drinking.

There was a weak pallor on his face.

Although Lu Beimo didn't understand medicine, he knew how to listen to other people's breathing.

The Emperor's breathing was very disordered and uneven, a symptom of prolonged illness and weakness.

As expected, after leaving the emperor's palace, a young eunuch followed him for a while.

She deliberately waited until he noticed before whispering, "Your Highness, Consort Yu requests your presence."
