Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 389 Even the strongest person has a vulnerable side.

The person behind it all is by the emperor's side.

The emperor had more than a dozen sons, and his harem was filled with countless concubines.

It is still unclear who is behind this.

But the net of Heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; anyone who has been in contact with the Emperor can be investigated.

The next morning, the team was fully prepared and ready to return to the capital immediately.

Last night, Huo Qing and Miao Yucui accompanied Ning Anran.

Upon seeing her again today, Chu Yueli noticed that Ning Anran's eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time.

In her memory, Aunt Anran was a woman of strong character, whose aura was in no way inferior to that of a man.

But in reality, even the strongest person has a vulnerable side.

Living alone for too long can make life dull and tasteless, and you gradually forget why you are alive.

Miao Yucui went to the kitchen and brought back some snacks for Chu Yueli to eat on the road. She also brought a bag for Huo Qing.

Huo Qing was the youngest of the three, actually only a woman in her mid-twenties.

Enthusiastic, kind, and also a glutton and playful person.

With Huo Qing around, even An Ningran would occasionally smile a little more.

"Prince Mo, Miss Li!"

When the people of the city heard the news, they all rushed to see him off.

The people in the city knelt on the ground. At first, they only knelt to pay homage to Prince Mo and Miss Li. Later, people gradually began to kneel to the two ladies: "Lady Miao! Lady Ning!"

The news that the two ladies had led troops to protect their Hengxian city had already spread throughout the entire city.

No one expected that, in addition to male generals, there would also be female generals in the Chu family army.

The soldiers witnessed firsthand how valiant Lady Ning and Lady Miao were when they captured the rebels.

Suddenly, a little boy walked up to Ning Anran, holding a basket high: "Madam, this is for you, it's for you!"

Behind him, the man's mother rushed over with a smile on her face: "Madam, please don't be offended. The child insisted on being given to you. Please don't be angry, I'll take him back right away."

After bowing to Ning Anran, the two turned to leave.

The mother was still whispering, "Madam is a general from the capital, what good things hasn't she seen? Don't be ridiculous."

"Mother, it was that lady who saved Father. I saw it with my own eyes."

"I know we are grateful to you, Madam, but it's embarrassing to bring out such a small thing..."

"Wait a minute," Ning Anran called out to the two of them.

She looked at the little boy, her expression somewhat complicated: "You are..."

“Madam, my father also wanted to protect the people, but he was beaten down by two bandits and almost died. It was you who saved him.”

The little boy looked at Ning Anran's arm: "Madam, you're still injured."

Although the wound on his arm was not visible at the time, he saw with his own eyes that his wife's arm was bleeding a lot.

"Madam, thanks to your risking your life to save my husband, otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have survived." The mother also knelt down before her: "We...we are truly grateful to you, Madam, but we are poor and don't know what we can give you, so..."

She lowered her head, looking ashamed.

Ning Anran finally remembered, looked down at the bamboo basket the little boy was holding, walked over and smiled, "What are you going to give me?"

The little boy was a bit shy, but he held up the bamboo basket.

Inside were several red eggs and a roast chicken.

"If you roast all the hens, there won't be any more red eggs to eat."

Ning Anran smiled at him, "This roast chicken smells delicious, then I won't be polite, thank you!"
