Feeling Lu Chen's intensity, Ji Yunmeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
However, she still pretended not to understand what Lu Chen was saying and asked coldly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Lu Chen said, "It seems Madam doesn't trust me, so you don't dare to speak your mind with me."
Ji Yunmeng saw that Lu Chen was still probing her, so she directly said, "Do you perhaps think I am sent by Your Majesty to monitor the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?"
Ji Yunmeng always believed that Lu Chen should not have detected her true ambition; perhaps the Zhen Nan Prince Manor thought she was just sent by Emperor Zhou to monitor them, so Prince Zhen Nan let Lu Chen test her.
Seeing Ji Yunmeng unwilling to be honest with him, Lu Chen grabbed her wrists with both hands, pressing them against the sides of her jade face, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I know you want to be Empress."
This sentence struck Ji Yunmeng like a bolt from the blue, leaving her momentarily stunned.
