If you really don't want to hear an explanation, then forget it. Lie to him, then deliver a crushing blow—is that fun?
Bei Menlin stared blankly at the person sitting on the ground.
He didn't know what he had done; it was as if he had been manipulated, and without any explanation, he pushed Yimu out.
He hated He Feng getting close, but he couldn't stop her from getting close to him.
His men were divided in two: one half worried about Yi Mu's injuries, while the other half remained indifferent, cold-blooded and ruthless.
The red thread on his drooping wrist had disappeared; the red nematode had crawled into his head along his blood vessels and was controlling him.
Yimu got up from the ground.
At the same moment, the trusted aide who was guarding outside watched the Empress being escorted in by her maids and tightened his grip on the short sword at his waist.
He stood in the doorway, blocking the Empress.
"His Majesty has important business inside. Your Majesty, please return."
The Empress had already tidied her appearance, displaying an air of majesty befitting an empress.
She peered into the room with the door open and gestured for her confidant to move aside.
The confidant was only Yi Mu's confidant; he did not need to obey the Empress.
His task was to protect his master's safety and obey all his demands.
Before Yimu went in, he told him that no one was allowed to enter the room.
Facing the imposing Empress, the trusted aide drew his dagger and said, "I cannot obey your command."
The Empress snorted coldly, waved her hand, and the palace guards behind her drew their swords and attacked her trusted confidants.
Inside the room, Yi Mu stood still, looking at Bei Menlin, his heart aching to the extreme, numb, and he felt nothing at all.
He had almost forgotten how proud he used to be.
What a bastard Bei Menlin is! Even so, he was still begging and pleading to hear his explanation.
Fuck it!
From this day forward, if he ever speaks a single kind word to Beimen Lin again, he will no longer bear the surname Yi.
His body felt as heavy as if it were weighed down by a stone, and he swayed precariously, but Yi Mu forced himself to walk up to Bei Menlin.
He was enduring immense pain, and for some reason, his voice had become hoarse and unpleasant.
"Alright, your only chance to know the truth is gone. From now on, even if you beg me or kneel before me, I won't tell you a single word."
He Feng interjected, "Even Lin wouldn't deign to..."
Smack! Smack!
Yi Mu withdrew his hand expressionlessly, staring at He Feng's incredulous and shameless face, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
In front of Bei Menlin, he completely suppressed his gentle and tender temperament. Although his face was as white as paper, his aura was fully released, suppressing He Feng completely.
"Has anyone ever taught you not to interrupt when others are speaking? You have no manners."
He Feng was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, and she subconsciously cried out for help to Bei Men Lin.
Yi Mu shouted sternly, "Who do you think you are? Even if the military seal is in Bei Menlin's hands, it's only a matter of a word for me to kill you. Get out!"
This was the first time He Feng had ever faced the so-called imperial aura. She was so frightened that her legs went weak. She didn't dare to ask Bei Menlin for help. She covered her face and ran out of the room crying.
Yi Mu sat down at the table and poured two glasses of wine using the remaining wine on the table.
Bei Menlin watched his movements, his gaze falling on his trembling hands.
That hand was covered in wounds, with blood on the back and palm of both hands.
In the past, he would never have let Yi Mu get hurt in the slightest. Even if Yi Mu got a mosquito bite, Bei Menlin would have wanted to torture the mosquito to death.
But now, the person he once loved deeply is covered in wounds, yet he stands there unmoved.
My mind went blank; I couldn't react at all.
Yi Mu examined the clear wine in his glass, chuckled softly, and felt an endless sorrow.
"I used to dislike men, but you made me fall in love with you. Now, it's you again who made me give up."
