Chu Yimeng was startled by Li Jun's sudden outburst and couldn't help but shrink back.
"Li Jun, what...what's wrong with you?"
Li Jun was seething with anger and desperately needed an outlet.
When he was the third prince, Chu Yimeng was gentle and kind to him, making him believe that she also had feelings for him. But what happened? After he fell from grace, Chu Yimeng wanted to leave, her eyes filled with contempt for him.
He gave his heart to the wrong person, so why should Chu Yimeng be doing well?
Li Jun stared at Chu Yimeng viciously for a while, but instead of continuing to hit her, he curled his lips into a sinister smile.
Chu Yimeng felt a sudden chill run down her spine, and her voice rose abruptly: "Li Jun, what exactly do you want to do?"
Li Jun gently stroked Chu Yimeng's face and whispered, "What else can I do? I'm just a powerless prisoner now, what else can I do?"
The more Li Jun said this, the more frightened Chu Yimeng became.
Sure enough, the next moment Li Jun said, "When the Second Prince of Jin was recuperating at your clinic last time, did you help him deliver a few letters?"
Chu Yimeng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Li Jun continued, "You probably guessed his identity back then, right? After knowing his identity, why did you still help him deliver the message? Because he was the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, and he could definitely give you the wealth and glory you wanted in the future, right?"
Chu Yimeng shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Chu Yimeng wasn't stupid. She knew that at this critical juncture, the Prince Li was thoroughly investigating the matter of collusion with the Jin Kingdom. If she were to get involved with the Jin Kingdom again, it wouldn't be as simple as just being imprisoned for a few days.
"You really don't know?" Li Jun said in disbelief. "Chu Yimeng, even now, why don't you take off your hypocritical mask? You know Yelü Zonghe is a Jin person, yet you still help him deliver messages. What are you really up to?"
Chu Yimeng bit her lip and remained silent.
She had no good intentions, but she also had no bad intentions.
She had transmigrated to this world and had no sense of belonging here. Whether it was the Great Sheng Dynasty or the Jin Kingdom, who was good or bad, what did it have to do with her?
All she needs to do is manage her own life well.
Yelü Zonghe has a strong destiny and is very likely to become the future ruler of the Jin Kingdom. Helping Yelü Zonghe is to leave a way out for herself.
Li Jun guessed correctly. Shortly after rescuing Yelü Zonghe, Chu Yimeng learned of his identity.
She still hid Yelü Zonghe in the clinic and even helped him deliver messages.
only……
Chu Yimeng glared at Li Jun, her eyes full of mockery.
“Li Jun, I am just an ordinary person. All I did was deliver a message for the second prince of Jin. But what about you? You are the third prince of Dasheng. Why would you drag your own people into injustice and collude with the second prince of the enemy country?”
Yes, Chu Yimeng's letter was delivered to Li Jun on behalf of Yelü Zong.
The two are like the pot calling the kettle black.
However, Chu Yimeng felt that Li Jun was more hateful than herself. After all, due to her status, there was only so much she could do, but Li Jun was different. With his previous status and position, he could have caused hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to die in the war with a single thought.
Li Jun was offended by Chu Yimeng's words, but he didn't get angry.
He merely sneered, leaning close to Chu Yimeng's ear and saying, "I'm most likely not going to survive. If I were to implicate you in the affair with Uncle Li, do you think he would make you pay with your life?"
Chu Yimeng: "Li Jun!"
Li Jun laughed heartily: "The road to the underworld is too lonely, so naturally I need someone to accompany me. Chu Yimeng, who told you to make me fall for you?"
Chu Yimeng saw the madness in Li Jun's eyes, reached out and grabbed his collar tightly, pleading with tears in her eyes, "Li Jun, I beg you, I saved your life no matter what, you can't repay kindness with enmity like this!"
You can't!
Li Jun: "It's too late. Do you think Uncle Li Wang won't be able to find out what you did?"
As if to confirm Li Jun's words, a commotion suddenly arose in the Ministry of Justice prison. Li Jun and Chu Yimeng looked toward the source of the sound and saw a group of black-armored soldiers walk in like demons.
Their steps were firm and resolute, yet they brought despair to Li Jun and Chu Yimeng.
Just as Li Jun had said, the Black Armor Army had already investigated and found out that Chu Yimeng had once helped Yelü Zonghe deliver letters.
However, no matter how Chu Yimeng tries to deny knowing Yelü Zonghe's identity, she cannot escape the charge of treason.
Li Jun's crimes were naturally more serious than Chu Yimeng's.
Both of them were taken away by the Black Armor Army.
Although she was moving from darkness to light, Chu Yimeng couldn't see a glimmer of hope.
how so?
She's a time traveler with a cheat-like ability, how could she end up like this?
The sunlight slanted down, hitting Chu Yimeng's eyes. She looked up and squinted, as if she saw herself in a phoenix robe, regal and majestic, in the blinding sunlight.

When Chu Yimeng and Li Jun were taken away by the Black Armor Army, Fu Bai was in the Prince's Mansion, where a female official from the Imperial Wardrobe was taking his measurements.
Li Jingxing accepted the abdication edict, and after the classic three requests and three refusals, he set the date for his ascension to the throne as emperor at the beginning of next month.
Alongside Li Jingxing's coronation ceremony, Fu Bai's empress's coronation ceremony was also held.
On the day Fu Bai married him, there was no grand wedding ceremony, no guests to offer their blessings, just a sedan chair and her dowry.
After their wedding night, Li Jingxing told Fu Bai that he would make up for anything that was missing later.
Now, Li Jingxing will make Fu Bai his empress at his coronation ceremony, so that he can rightfully tell the world that Fu Bai is his wife.
The Ministry of Rites initially opposed it, but could not withstand Li Jingxing's strong resistance.
The enthronement ceremony and the empress's investiture ceremony were held together, and the Ministry of Rites was extremely busy during this period.
And now, there are less than half a month left until the grand ceremony.
After measuring the size of the white powder, the female official quietly stepped aside.
Fu Bai was the first male empress in the history of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and the style and form of his crown and robes were a test for them.
Fu Bai made no demands and waved for the female officials to leave.
Not long after, Nanxing came in.
"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. Shall we return to the Chen residence now?"
Because Li Jingxing wanted to give Fu Bai a complete ceremony, on the day of the ceremony, Fu Bai needed to depart from the Chen residence and travel from Zhengyang Gate to the palace.
Starting today, Fu Bai will return to the Chen residence to prepare for the grand ceremony.
Li Jingxing was also busy with matters related to his ascension to the throne.
Fu Bai nodded: "Let's go."
As he spoke, he subtly adjusted his back as he stepped over the threshold.
Last night, Li Jingxing used the excuse that they would be separated for half a month to indulge in debauchery all night long, until the arrival of the female official from the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau, which ended this licentious night.
At this moment, her waist was still weak and her legs were trembling slightly.
