Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 745 Ruined by that stupid woman

The white-robed sect leader shuddered, glanced at Lu Yunfei, and remained silent.

He wore two human skin masks on his face, and no one knew what changes occurred in his expression, but it was obvious that his whole body was tense.

Lu Fengjin was also staring at his face, and said calmly, "Eighth Prince, give up resisting, and I will plead for you before Father, at least... spare your life."

"Is my life worth anything in your eyes?" The white-robed sect leader sneered coldly.

But at this moment, he was no longer deliberately suppressing his voice; it was indeed Lu Ziling's voice.

He glared at Lu Yunfei: "When did you find out?"

Now that things have come to this, Lu Ziling knows that he can't escape it tonight.

The fighting not far away gradually subsided. The rebels were either killed or captured. Even Qin Mingyue was subdued by Qin Wu after being injured.

Tonight's operation has been a complete failure.

Lu Ziling exuded an aura of deathly stillness.

Lu Yunfei glanced back at Chu Yueli but didn't say anything.

Lu Ziling knew it immediately. How could Lu Yunfei possibly know his identity? Sure enough, it was still this woman.

“That day, I smelled the scent of Tuoba Mingyue on you.” Chu Yueli was extremely sensitive to smells; she could detect scents that ordinary people couldn’t smell at all.

"At that time, it was just a suspicion, not a proof, so I asked Prince Jin to put on a show for me."

"A drunken act." Lu Fengjin slowly sheathed his longsword.

They were all brothers. Although he didn't understand why his eighth brother would do this, he truly couldn't bear to see Lu Ziling beheaded.

“When Tuoba Mingyue came, I sprinkled a special kind of powder on her. Later, Ali smelled the powder in the Empress’s quarters.”

In the past two days, Chu Yueli took some time to visit the Empress's Qiankun Palace several times. Sometimes Lu Ziling knew about it, and sometimes he did not.

However, Lu Ziling had to go to Qiankun Palace to pay his respects to the Empress every day. This habit had been maintained by him ever since he was favored by the Empress, except on days when he was away from home.

"You met Tuoba Mingyue. After Tuoba Mingyue heard Prince Jin's 'drunken words,' it was because Tuoba Mingyue felt that this matter was very important and that she had to report it to you personally," Chu Yueli said.

Lu Ziling's palm tightened instantly.

I never expected that he would hide his identity for so long, so well, thinking he had no flaws, only to be ruined by that stupid woman Tuoba Mingyue!

Lu Ziling peeled off the human skin masks from his face, one by one.

His face was solemn, but then he gave a cold laugh: "How can you save my life? My father doesn't care about my life or death. Knowing that I am a rebel, he would rather kill me."

"You are also his son..."

"I am the bastard child of a lowly palace maid! To him, I am a stain, and he wishes I had never been born!"

Lu Ziling's smile was so cold it sent chills down your spine.

"He will never forgive me; he just wants to get rid of me as soon as possible!"

"Eighth Imperial Brother, you...stop!" Lu Fengjin's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately lunged forward.

Lu Ziling suddenly slashed his own neck with the long sword in his hand!

Everyone was shocked and was about to help.

But to everyone's surprise, just as everyone was in shock, Lu Ziling suddenly twisted his wrist and thrust his long sword fiercely towards Chu Yueli.
