Bei Menmu never said a harsh word to Ye Yunxiang, not even a single one.
This probably sent Ye Yunxiang a signal that no matter how much trouble I cause, the Emperor won't do anything to me.
Even if they are punished, it doesn't warrant the death penalty.
She has been praised too highly for too long and has forgotten how cruel class distinctions can be.
No matter how stupid the emperor is, he is still the emperor.
Even if the person standing in front of them today is not Yi Mu, but Bei Men Mu.
He wouldn't be so magnanimous as to forgive the people who cheated on him.
Ye Yunxiang knelt down with a thud, her eyes blurry with tears, and grabbed Bei Menlin's trouser leg with her hand.
"Your Majesty, the Regent has no feelings for me whatsoever. It is my unrequited love. If Your Majesty wishes to punish someone, then punish me!"
Yi Mu looked down at her, his expression filled with pity.
Ye Yunxiang looked up at him and suddenly froze.
It seemed that Bei Menmu had never looked at her from such a superior position before.
He told her that he hoped to be an ordinary couple, without having to kneel down to speak or be constantly on edge.
His aloof demeanor was so distant, like a noble god, untouchable and unreachable.
She didn't cherish the friendship she shared when they sat together before, but now that she's kneeling, she realizes how humiliating this position is.
"Yunxiang, do you know what happens to ordinary women who betray their husbands?"
They drowned the body in a pig cage, wrapped it in a tattered straw mat, and threw it into a mass grave, leaving it without even a proper grave.
Not only that, after the body decomposes, everyone who sees it will spit on it, and even after death, she will be cursed as a prostitute.
Ye Yunxiang shuddered at the thought.
But she turned to look at Bei Menlin, gritted her teeth, and resolved to shoulder everything.
"No matter how Your Majesty decides to punish me, I will have no complaints."
Upon hearing this, Yi Mu's expression suddenly changed, and he kicked her away violently.
Caught off guard, Ye Yunxiang tumbled two meters away.
Bei Menlin frowned and was about to lift his foot when Bei Menmu walked up to him and pulled down his collar.
Where are we going?
Those beautiful phoenix eyes were less than two centimeters away from him, devoid of any warmth, filled with shattered ice, a coldness that Bei Menlin had never seen before.
Looking at his handsome face, Bei Menlin recalled his reaction to Ye Yunxiang earlier and suddenly realized something.
With a dark cloud hanging over his stern face, Bei Menlin gripped Yi Mu's hand tightly.
"You approached me because you knew about Ye Yunxiang and me from the beginning..."
Yi Mu interrupted him, scoffed twice, and questioned, "What is your relationship with Ye Yunxiang? Were you two already together before Ye Yunxiang entered the palace?"
He roared out the last sentence and abruptly shoved Bei Menlin's hand away.
Bei Menlin clenched his fists so tightly they cracked; he didn't know what was wrong with him.
What he should do most right now is warn Beimen Mu not to reveal the secret and use the army under his control to threaten him.
Instead of acting like a fool and caring that Bei Menmu was getting close to him, all of this was to spite Ye Yunxiang and get revenge on her.
What does Bei Menmu take him for, a tool to be used at will?
Since Bei Menmu knew that the Marquis of Xinyang was his father, he naturally understood that Ye Yunxiang had a close relationship with him.
Bei Menlin should have thought of this earlier, but he deceived himself and prevented himself from thinking about it too deeply.
Because once they figured it out, their illicit relationship would have no chance of continuing.
He cherished the time when Beimen Mu was by his side, liking his smile, his warm body, and his subtle dependence on him.
It's time to wake up. What a load of bull, this four-year agreement, it's utterly ridiculous.
