After leaving Huichuntang, Fu Bai and Li Jingxing boarded the carriage.
The convoy from the Prince Li's mansion continued towards the Chen residence, and no one gave Chu Yimeng another glance.
Huichuntang was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Chu Yimeng watched the grand procession of the Prince Li's carriages depart, her face pale, and she felt more panicked than ever before.
Even in modern times, treason is a serious crime, let alone in ancient times.
Chu Yimeng never expected that the man she picked up three days ago would actually be a prince of the Jin Kingdom.
Three nights ago, Chu Yimeng heard the sound of something heavy falling outside her window. She opened the window and looked out, only to see Yelü Zonghe lying in a pool of blood.
At the same time, Chu Yimeng also saw the golden light flashing above Yelü Zonghe's head.
This person has a very strong luck factor, and their identity is destined to be extraordinary.
Because she saw the other person's luck value, even though he looked different from people from the Central Plains, Chu Yimeng didn't hesitate much and took him back to the clinic for treatment.
If it weren't for Chen Fubai's impromptu suggestion today, how would the Prince of Li have discovered Yelü Zonghe's existence?
Chu Yimeng's hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into fists, and her eyes narrowed, flashing with resentment.
It's all Chen Fubai's fault!
She glanced at the black-armored soldiers standing solemnly at the door, feeling a lump in her throat, unable to rise or fall.
Hopefully, someone will receive the news that she has been detained by the Black Armor Army and come to drive them away as soon as possible.

On the carriage.
Fu Bai leaned lazily against Li Jingxing's chest, took a bite of a pastry, and asked, "Was Yelü Zonghe injured by your men?"
"Mm." Li Jingxing nodded, poured Fu Bai a glass of water, and fed it to him.
Li Jingxing: "His trip to Beijing this time was probably to verify whether I really have gone mad."
Li Jingxing, the Prince of Li, was a major threat to the Jin Dynasty. As long as he was alive, the Jin Dynasty would never be able to tear a piece of flesh from the Great Sheng.
The small countries surrounding Dasheng were most pleased to see Li Jingxing fall ill.
If Li Jingxing, the pillar of Dasheng, is to fall ill, Dasheng will become a hot commodity on the chopping block, and anyone can take a bite.
But the premise is that Li Jingxing is really sick.
Based on this, the Jin state sent Yelü Zonghe to investigate the situation.
He may have actually discovered Li Jingxing's true situation. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, and Yelü Zonghe wanted to take advantage of Li Jingxing's illness to completely eliminate the pillar of Dasheng.
Three days ago, on the night before Li Jingxing and Fu Bai's wedding, Yelü Zonghe sneaked into the Prince Li's residence and attempted to assassinate Li Jingxing.
However, he underestimated the defenses of the Prince Li's mansion.
The Prince Li's mansion looked desolate and deserted, but it was secretly guarded by numerous secret guards.
Yelü Zonghe was discovered by the guards as soon as he sneaked into the Prince Li's mansion, and he barely managed to escape from the mansion at the cost of his life.
Li Jingxing never expected that he would be taken in by a doctor at a clinic.
If it weren't for Fu Bai's sudden urge to check on Huichuntang's patients today, it would truly have been like letting a tiger return to the mountains.
Thinking of this, Li Jingxing smiled slightly, turned his head to kiss Bai Bai's pale cheek, and said with a smile, "Bai Bai is truly my lucky star."
Upon hearing this, Fu Bai tilted his head and kissed Li Jingxing's lips, which were pressed against his face.
The two exchanged a light kiss, and the carriage arrived at Qinghuafang.
The Chen family received the news in advance and anxiously gathered at the door to wait.
Most of the men in the family were on duty in the palace, and only the old lady stood at the door with her two daughters-in-law.
Madam Chen, holding the old lady's hand, asked with a worried expression, "Mother, why did Prince Li suddenly accompany Fufu back to her parents' home?"
The second wife, Chen Fubai's mother, was even more restless, constantly clapping her hands: "Mother, what are we going to do when the Prince of Li arrives? Fufu has only been married into the Prince of Li's mansion for two days, could he have already offended the Prince of Li? He has never suffered any hardship since he was a child, and Father and the masters have never been willing to say a harsh word to him. Suddenly he's facing a killing god like the Prince of Li..."
"Enough!" The old lady slammed her cane down and said sternly, "Don't let me hear any more words like 'god of death' from your mouths. The current stability of Dasheng is due to the prince's many wars. We are under his protection. No matter what he has become now, as the people of Dasheng, we have no right to say a bad word about him."
The second wife immediately lowered her head, ashamed, and said, "It was my fault, daughter-in-law."
She was just confused because she was worried; in reality, she had no resentment towards the King of Li.
While the group was talking, the clatter of hooves came from around the corner.
The servant who had gone to check on the situation ran back quickly, panting, and said, "They're here! They're here!"
"The prince and the young master are back!"
The person standing at the entrance of the Chen residence immediately straightened their back and craned their neck to look around the corner.
The first carriage bearing the insignia of the Prince Li's Mansion appeared in everyone's view, approaching from afar and finally stopping in front of the Chen Mansion.
The coachman got out of the carriage and lowered the stools. Li Jingxing, dressed in black, got out of the carriage first.
He didn't leave, and his cold face softened immediately when he saw Fu Bai stepping out from behind.
Li Jingxing personally helped Fu Bai out of the car, his movements gentle and patient.
There was no fear on Fu Bai's face, and his fox-like eyes were filled with laughter.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the atmosphere between Li Jingxing and Fu Bai was very sweet, and they really looked like a newlywed couple.
However, using the word "sweet" to describe the tyrannical king seems very incongruous.
So much so that everyone in the Chen family couldn't help but think that their eyes were playing tricks on them, that what they were seeing was an illusion, and that they had simply misjudged the scene.
The person who treats Fu Bai with such tenderness and affection is none other than Li Jingxing, the legendary blood-drinking and flesh-eating god of death?
Is the rumor wrong, or are they blind?
Regardless of what the Chen family thought, Fu Bai had already taken Li Jingxing's hand and walked to the Chen family members.
He said with a smile, "Grandma, Aunt, Mom, I'm back."
After greeting everyone, Fu Bai introduced Li Jingxing to his relatives.
"This is the Tyrant Prince Li Jingxing."
The three women quickly bowed to Li Jingxing: "Your Majesty, we are your humble servants."
Li Jingxing nodded: "No need for formalities."
Not only that, he also reached out to help the old lady.
The old lady was somewhat flattered and her first reaction was to go see Fu Bai.
Fu Bai nodded to her, reassuring her not to panic.
Thus, the old lady probably realized that her grandson was very much liked by the Prince Li, and temporarily put aside her worries.
After exchanging a few pleasantries at the entrance of the Chen residence, the group returned inside.
The Chen family were merely imperial physicians, not a wealthy or noble family. The two branches of the family lived in a three-courtyard house with few servants, so it didn't feel crowded.
Not long after, the Chen family patriarch and his two husbands, having received the news from the palace, rushed back.
They returned in haste, worried that the women in their household might not have treated the king well and would be punished by him.
When he rushed to the hall, he heard Li Jingxing, the Prince of Li, calling the old lady "Grandma" along with Fu Bai.
Old Master Chen and the two gentlemen: "!!!"
Absolutely not! Your Highness, your grandmother is the Empress Dowager!
