But what if Yimu is well-suited for this position? Could he be a wise ruler?
The throne no longer held such significance for Beimen Lin.
He was more suited to be a general than an emperor.
He Feng was led to change into palace attire. Hearing that the Emperor and his ministers were distributing silver in the North City Street, she wanted to go and watch the excitement, but the Empress had her stopped by someone.
This seemingly gentle woman told He Feng in an unquestionable tone: a woman should not show her face in public. She should wait in the palace, and when the Regent returns, he will take her back to his residence.
He Feng, a woman who had received a modern education, scoffed at her words.
Anyway, she's a free person, and if she insists on leaving, the Empress can't possibly hold her back.
He Feng's thinking was too simplistic. As the mother of the nation, the Empress's status was extremely noble.
She could stop someone with just a word.
He Feng witnessed the immense power and oppression wielded by the Empress, and was "invited" to watch the tedious fireworks.
But in the midst of aimless glances, he spotted Beimen Lin.
Ignoring the maids behind her trying to stop her, He Feng ran towards Bei Menlin.
She suddenly threw herself into Bei Menlin's arms, almost knocking the unsuspecting Bei Menlin over.
Yi Mu's good thoughts were interrupted. Seeing He Feng nestled in Bei Men Lin's arms and acting spoiled, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Lin, the palace isn't fun. Let's go back to the manor."
The Emperor is still here, yet she speaks such words as if no one else is around; she truly lacks any sense of propriety.
Bei Menlin held her arm and told her to steady herself.
"No rush, wait until the fireworks are over."
He Feng pouted and whispered, "What's so interesting about these fireworks?"
Bei Menlin pretended not to hear, while inwardly feeling annoyed by He Feng's willful behavior regardless of the occasion, thinking it was a bit too childish.
That day, Yi Mu was exhausted. After the lively fireworks ended, he returned to the palace.
Yao Yan, who had been missing all night, found Yi Mu after he returned to the palace and insisted on sleeping with him.
Yi Mu wasn't in a good mood and really wanted to be alone.
But Yao Yan is the type who won't give up until he achieves his goal.
Fei and Yi Mu squeezed into a bed together, chatting under the covers.
He was originally a handsome and refined young man.
But every time he's in front of Yi Mu, he can't help but reveal his talkative side, which is disillusioning.
"I really envy you. You didn't complete your mission, but you're finally getting some peace and quiet. Unlike my nemesis, he's unbearable. He won't let me out of his sight for a second. I'm not his little shadow, and I'm busy every day. It's driving me crazy."
Yi Mu stared at him silently.
"If you want to show off your relationship, just say so. Aren't you asking for trouble by beating around the bush?"
Yao Yan was too embarrassed to say that his partner had entered heat and was acting like a mutant teddy bear all day, which was taking a toll on his body.
That's why he came to Yimu to avoid the limelight, since the emperor's palace is the safest place in the whole world.
Yi Mu has been in a bad mood lately, and those around him can all sense it to some extent.
After all, it's hard for anyone to resist the thought of their lover being bewitched and flirting with other women.
It's fortunate that he has the courage; if it were Yao Yan, who knows how badly he would have fought with that woman.
Yao Yan had actually given Yi Mu a suggestion long ago: as long as Bei Men Lin suffered a little, the Gu poison could be obtained.
Yi Mu refused, fearing that Bei Menlin's life would be in danger.
Liking can be unrestrained, but love requires caution.
Yao Yan understood Yi Mu, but things couldn't just drag on like this forever.
He Feng is not just a simple-minded girl; she hasn't even used any more powerful methods yet.
If she activates the Gu poison and controls Beimen Lin, forcing them to marry as soon as possible, Yi Mu will be left only to watch his beloved be with another woman.
