Chapter 250 Actually, there was a chance to save him
Upon hearing Chu Yi's news, Chu Yueli showed no unusual expression and continued drinking her tea.
Chu Xiaohe was immediately filled with unease: "Ali, we failed to protect the prince. I'm afraid the emperor will punish us."
Chu Yueli held the cup and used the lid to slowly stir the tea leaves on the surface of the water, asking casually, "We have rendered meritorious service in saving Prince Jin, so why does the Emperor still punish us?"
“But the Dragon Guard tokens we have were given to us by the Emperor under duress. I’m afraid the Emperor already harbors resentment, and now he’s just found an excuse to cause trouble for our Duke’s Mansion.”
At that time, Ali hesitated to go and save Prince Jin, which forced the Emperor to give her the token of the Dragon Guard.
The Dragon Guard was formed to protect members of the royal family. As Ali became the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, it was only natural for her to go and rescue Prince Jin.
However, there was an element of A-Li forcing the Emperor in this situation.
To dare to force the emperor is truly suicidal.
The Emperor may not say anything at the time, but he will surely vent his anger later.
“But I am indeed a useful talent. Even if the Emperor is angry, he should know that the people in our Duke’s mansion are capable.”
Chu Yueli glanced at him and smiled, "Brother, don't panic. The Emperor knows how to use people well. He's not actually that incompetent."
"Ah Li, don't talk nonsense!" Chu Xiaohe's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Words can be dangerous."
Chu Yueli just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Zisu, however, agreed wholeheartedly: "I think what Miss said is true. In the past, the Dragon Guard was under the command of Prince Jin, but in fact, you, Young Master, have always been working for Prince Jin. Most of the Dragon Guard recognize you as Young Master."
"Now that the Dragon Guard's token is in your hands, it's only natural that you can truly take command of your former brothers. The Emperor isn't blind; he naturally knows your contributions, and he won't be angry!"
"You've really been corrupted by your young lady. How dare you speak ill of the Emperor behind his back? Don't you value your life?" Chu Xiaohe really couldn't do anything with these two women, mistress and servant.
However, what Zisu said is not wrong.
Prince Jin's leg is now injured, and it's uncertain whether it will ever recover. Prince Mo was also injured at the hunting grounds. The guarding of the imperial city must be done by someone.
The emperor is a wise ruler; at this time, he should know how to recognize and utilize talent.
"As long as the people in our Duke's Mansion are useful, the Emperor will not punish us. If he wants to punish us, it must be because we are no longer useful."
Chu Yueli put down her cup and glanced at Zisu: "Go see if Third Aunt is ready."
"Okay." Zisu nodded and left.
Chu Yi was sensible and quickly made an excuse to leave.
Chu Yueli had something to say to Chu Xiaohe.
When only the brother and sister were left in the study, Chu Yueli looked at Chu Xiaohe and softened her voice: "Brother, Tuoba Feiyuan has been castrated. From now on, he will only live a life worse than death. His life is completely ruined."
“Ah Li…”
“Brother, when that black wolf was about to bite Prince Jin yesterday, I had already arrived, and I knew that if it bit him, his Achilles tendon would be severed. But I didn’t make a move.”
"Ah Li!" Chu Xiaohe's heart tightened suddenly, and he looked at her, his breathing becoming erratic.
These words must never be circulated; if they are, it will be a capital offense!
Chu Xiaohe quickly glanced out the door and window.
Chu Yueli laughed and said, "If I still can't find the lurking person with my internal strength, then no matter how much you look, it's useless."
Chu Xiaohe now realized that his sister's internal strength far surpassed his own.
No wonder she used to say that he didn't understand her.
but……
"Ah Li, what you just said, is it true?"
She originally had a chance to save Prince Jin?
