Madam General, please run slower.

Yu Xun was completely ignored.

Seeing Li's leisurely posture, Yu Xun became even more angry, "Let me go!"

Li: "General, have you cursed enough? If not, you can continue to curse."

"What else do you want? Kill me if you have the guts!"

As soon as Yu Xun finished speaking, the mist around him suddenly turned into substance and pressed against his neck.

"Do you think I have the ability to do that~" Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The pain in his neck stopped Yu Xun's attempt to resist, and his consciousness, which was controlled by his emotions, became a little clearer.

Li: "Can we talk properly now?"

Yu Xun pursed his lips and turned his head away.

Li: "The general just kept saying that I stole military secrets. Do you have any evidence?"

Yu Xun: "Oh, you just entered the military camp, and our plan was known to the enemy. How can you still argue?"

Li looked at him in confusion. "It was the general who asked me to go out that day, and it was the general who asked to take me around the camp. I didn't express any opinions from beginning to end. How can you suspect me of this?"

Yu Xun: "Who knows if you made this decision suddenly on impulse? With your ability, it's not difficult for you to hide the information."

Li: "What about my purpose? Why do I do this?"

"Purpose? How would I know what the prince has done with you that has made you work so wholeheartedly for him?"

Yu Xun smiled self-deprecatingly, he thought that the wooden hairpin he made by hand could win back her feelings a little. No, there was no need to win her back. All he needed was to be a little soft-hearted and not be so heartless to him.

But he was proved wrong, this woman had no heart at all!

"Crown Prince? What does this have to do with the crown prince?" The more Li Zhen listened, the more confused he became. He had no way of understanding Yu Xun's train of thought.

Yu Xun: "Why, are you so loyal to your master that you're in a hurry to distance yourself from him?"

Li: "You suspect I am the prince's man? Why?"

Yu Xun: "I don't want to believe it either, but the facts are right in front of me. Once or twice can be considered a coincidence, but what about three or four times? Can it still be a coincidence?"

Another coincidence, how could she have so many coincidences. Li pinched the root of his nose in annoyance and asked patiently, "When was the first time you doubted it?"

Yu Xun: "You injured Wei Shiliu and escaped from the mansion that time."

Li: “So, what happened that time?”

Yu Xun took a deep breath. "The next day, someone in the court impeached me for abusing my power for personal gain and framing officials. You and I were the only ones who knew about Jiang Qianzhang's incident. At that time, I naively thought that I had made a mistake and didn't think of you at all."

"I spent a whole day strolling around the market with Tan Su'er. Don't say you didn't know."

"Yes, I did let the secret guards follow you, but who can guarantee that you will not spread the news in the downtown area? After all, you have also discovered the existence of the secret guards. It is easy to avoid their sight."

What? Is it my fault that I am better than you? Li looked up at the sky speechlessly, "What about the second coincidence?"

Yu Xun: "The time you used Jiang Wan as an excuse to leave the house."

Li: “Which time?” When did she leave the house using Jiang Wan as an excuse?

Yu Xun: "You are really a noble man who forgets things easily. That day you deliberately let Wei Wu and Wei Shiliu see you tie up Jiang Qianzhang. On the surface, you were venting your anger on Jiang Wan's behalf, but in fact, you were venting your anger on him because you had someone impeach me."

The corners of Li's mouth could not help but twitch. Anyone who knew her well would never say that she felt guilty.

"and then?"

"And then... hehe, when you were out of the palace, the Crown Prince took action, forcing me to disrupt my plan and go out early."

"Okay, very good." Li really didn't expect that this matter could be blamed on her. "The third time."

"You said you were going to Chaozhou and didn't go with the army anymore. A few days later, Wei Yi brought me an urgent letter saying that there was a riot in the palace and more than half of my men were killed. We had no choice but to retreat to the suburbs!"

Yu Xun became more excited when he said this. "I'm afraid that you planned to ask us out that night. You wanted to get Yao Jue drunk so that you could have an excuse to avoid the army and act alone."

"The fourth time." Li couldn't even make a speechless expression. It was indeed as Yu Xun said, these things were too coincidental, making it hard not to be suspicious.

"The fourth time..." Yu Xun murmured in a low voice. When he looked up again, his eyes were red and he tried his best to endure the wetness in his eyes.

Li was also shocked by Yu Xun's reaction, "Why are you..."

Yu Xun's voice was low and trembling, and he looked at Li with a trace of desire in his eyes, "Tell me, where did you go during the three days you were missing? It wasn't you who did it, right?"

Li paused for a moment and then said, "The bottom of the Chaozhou River."

"Are you trying to say that you stayed at the bottom of the river for three full days?" Yu Xun was stunned, and the glimmer of hope in his heart completely disappeared. Don't you even want to find a good excuse to lie to me now?

For the first time, Li felt that having a mouth was a mistake. Damn, she had indeed been soaking at the bottom of the river for three days and was all swollen!

"There is a secret realm at the bottom of the Chaozhou City River. I went there following the fluctuations of spiritual power. I stayed in the secret realm for three days." Li was explaining what he had done very seriously and looked up.

Okay, explain what the hell. It was obvious that this person didn't believe it. She might as well just say that she really soaked in the river for three days. The people in the lower planes had never even seen a thunder tribulation. What she told them about secret realms, artifacts, and ancient formations was even less believable than telling them that there were really ghosts in the world.

Yu Xun's shoulders trembled slightly. He tried his best to control his emotions and not let the sadness and pain overflow from his chest. "After you disappeared, my family in Minhai County handed me a letter saying... that the ancestral tomb was robbed, and my sister-in-law and my five-year-old nephew are still missing."

"And a round trip from Chaozhou to Minhai County takes exactly three days!"

That was his eldest brother's orphan! His fingertips turned white due to the force, and the joints were slightly blue and purple, as if silently announcing his anger.

"So the reason you kept me under surveillance in Cuilan City was because of this." This could explain why Yu Xun monitored her so strictly. However, having an explanation was one thing, but Li was still going to be unhappy. This was the first time she had been able to be monitored for such a long time.

"Yes, isn't it strange? Why do I have to get into trouble whenever you leave the house?" Yu Xun stared at Li closely, not wanting to miss any expression on her face. In his heart, he hoped that she would admit to conspiring with the prince against the Yu family army, but he was also afraid that she would really admit to betraying him.

"Maybe we are not compatible." Li sighed deeply. In just a short while, she was speechless almost as many times as she was in a year. She felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain herself.

Li Qing took a sip of tea to ease the dryness on his lips, then looked at Yu Xun seriously, "I will only explain these words once. I know you don't believe me, but you'd better not interrupt me, otherwise I will really get angry and it will be your neck that needs to be cut."

Yu Xun smiled disdainfully. He also wanted to see what jokes she could come up with.
