The queen got up from the ground and walked towards Yimu.
She knew her plan had succeeded.
Having been in the palace for several years, and with not many concubines around, the tricks he hadn't used on women were now being used on men.
The matter of the child is a thorn in Bei Menlin's heart.
He already suspected that Yi Mu had betrayed their relationship, and the Empress's words today only fueled his suspicions.
If we recall how the two started, we can understand that Yi Mu's inexplicable allure was entirely for the throne.
He gave his heart, but the person he loved was just playing around.
He's such a proud person; if he could tolerate all this, he wouldn't be a man.
The Empress did not rush to release Yi Mu's pressure points. She straightened Yi Mu's collar and looked at her husband gently.
"Mulang, you must live a good life with me from now on."
Looking at her handsome husband, her heart softened, and she could already envision a lifetime of happiness.
The husband's lips were soft, and their color was even more beautiful than a woman's.
When she was newly married, she wondered how a man could be so handsome.
I fell in love with it at first sight; it was both a calamity and a stroke of luck.
The Empress lowered her head shyly; this was their first intimate encounter.
As she got closer to that face, she suddenly saw Yi Mu's eyes move.
Those eyes held a faint glimmer of light, and within them were tears.
Even when she cries, she looks so beautiful. Lost in thought, a cloud of blood suddenly appeared before her eyes, and then her face felt hot.
Yi Mu spat out a mouthful of blood, forcefully breaking open the acupoints that had been sealed.
The empress was stunned for a moment before she realized what had happened.
Her face was covered in blood as she stared in horror at Yi Mu, whose mouth was dripping with blood.
He possessed neither martial arts skills nor internal energy; how did he break the seal?
Yi Mu reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at the woman in front of him with no emotion in his eyes.
He was unwilling to bestow even the slightest bit of his own emotions upon her.
He spoke to the woman in front of him in a voice devoid of emotion.
“I am not your husband. Your husband died a year ago. He never loved you, not even a little bit.”
The empress opened her eyes wide, not understanding what he was talking about.
Ignoring her reaction, he was simply stating a fact.
“In your husband’s eyes, you are just a link in a political marriage, a tool, no different from chopsticks, clothes, stools, or tables.”
Yi Mu's voice was hoarse as he looked at this pitiful, pathetic, and hateful woman.
“I once respected you and thought you were a gentle woman. You are the noble Empress of Su Feng. Even if you have a child with someone else, I still don’t care. I can guarantee that a hundred years after Bei Menlin and I, your child will be the next emperor.”
Yi Mu stepped forward, his lips stained bright red. His usually handsome face now looked somewhat sinister, yet even more beautiful.
"Have I been bad to you? You want to kill me? Do you know what he means to me?"
The queen screamed without regard for anything else.
"You lied to me! You are my husband. It's one thing if you don't love me, but why did you lie to me and say you weren't Beimen Mu? You are Beimen Mu!"
Yi Mu smiled, then laughed twice, and tears streamed down his face, one after another, unstoppable.
He said, "We have loved each other for eight or nine lifetimes. To me, he is my rib, my flesh and blood, my life. You are taking him away from my world. You want me to die."
The Queen couldn't bear to hear the word "death." She grabbed Yi Mu's sleeve and said frantically, "No, no, no, I want you to live. You have to be well, we all have to be well. Our son isn't even a month old yet. He cries to everyone he sees, but he doesn't cry when you hold him. Mu Lang, you have to live!"
She clung to it so tightly, as if it were a lifeline.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Mu pulled off her coat, then left without looking back.
“Your shepherd is dead. I am not called Beimen Mu.”
