Ye Shi looked at Meng You with vulnerability, her voice breaking, "Meng You, our friendship is witnessed by the heavens, you mustn't smear my name!"
She had kept even her personal palace maid in the dark about procuring the examination papers from Meng You.
If only Meng You had been discreet, she would have been innocent.
It could be said that, in the matter of obtaining the examination papers, aside from Meng You, there was no other evidence that could convict her.
Having known each other for many years, Ye Shi still believed that Meng You would not betray her.
At this moment, all she needed to do was show some vulnerability and look pitiful—then Meng You would take the blame upon himself.
With this thought, Ye Shi's tears flowed freely, and she cried sorrowfully, "Meng You, as one who has been in good relations with you, you must not forget the bond we had in the past."
