Bei Menlin was unwilling to deal with these people with ulterior motives. He summoned his capable subordinates to drink with the ministers, then made an excuse to leave and headed towards the emperor's bedroom.
After half a month, Yi Mu reluctantly accepted the fact that his body was indeed congenitally weak and frail, and that no amount of recuperation could improve it.
Even if an emperor is a genius, how can he be a ruler without a good body?
I'm afraid he'll kick the bucket halfway through his career.
Fortunately, he only reigned as emperor for four years. After that, he passed the throne to Beimen Lin and went to find a quiet place to recuperate.
Not long after Yi Mu returned to his palace, his chief attendant came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine requests an audience."
Female lead?
Yi Mu was getting ready to wash up and go to bed; he didn't want to see anyone at this time.
"Just tell her I'm taking a rest and let her go back."
Upon hearing this, the pale-faced, beardless eunuch Fu Xi, whose exact age was impossible to discern, slightly opened his mouth and involuntarily repeated the words.
"Your Majesty, that is the Imperial Concubine."
His tone made it sound as if Yi Mu's own mother was waiting outside the door, and it would be inappropriate for him not to see her.
Yi Mu turned to look at him. "What? Do I have to see her?"
His tone was impatient, and his eyes held a dangerous glint.
Fuxi belatedly realized he had spoken too much, so he quickly knelt down and slapped himself in the face several times.
"This servant deserves to die! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Yimu told him to get out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted in from outside.
A beautiful woman dressed in a light blue gauze dress walked in, took the soup from the maid, and with light, graceful steps, walked to Yi Mu's side.
"Your Majesty, you have just recovered. I have had someone stew some white fungus and bird's nest soup for you to drink to help you recover."
Ye Yunxiang, the most beloved concubine of the original owner, was the most beautiful woman in the world, gentle and charming, with a tender heart.
The original owner couldn't take his eyes off Ye Yunxiang the moment he saw her, and from then on, he saw no one else.
He cherished Ye Yunxiang dearly, and even though he never received a genuine response, he was still content with it.
Unfortunately, this woman not only didn't respond to him, but also betrayed him for another man, conspiring with others to kill him.
Yi Mu's gaze fell on Ye Yunxiang, and there was a lot in her, but the infatuation he used to have was gone.
Under his gaze, Ye Yunxiang's smile gradually faded, replaced by worry.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yi Mu picked up the spoon from the soup, scooped up the contents of the bowl twice, and then slammed the spoon down.
"I remember saying that I don't like drinking soup, but my beloved concubine has probably forgotten."
Ye Yunxiang smiled again, a feigned happiness that looked somewhat comical.
"But I like to eat it. Your Majesty said that whatever I like, Your Majesty also likes."
Yi Mu put his arm behind his back to avoid Ye Yunxiang's hand that was trying to grab his arm.
He adopted a serious expression, his face devoid of any warmth or smile.
"My beloved concubine, tell me, who is the most noble person in the world?"
Ye Yunxiang sensed a hint of danger in his actions and words.
She straightened her posture and smiled charmingly: "In this world, the most honorable person is of course Your Majesty."
Yi Mu's gaze fell on the soup she was holding.
"Since I am the most honored person in the world, what reason is there for me to cater to your preferences?"
In the end, this statement essentially boils down to accountability.
Ye Yunxiang knelt down with a thud, revealing her fear for the first time since entering the palace.
"Your Majesty has spoken out of turn. Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. How could you change your preferences for the sake of a mere concubine? Please punish me severely."
