The pillow hit Murong Jiancheng's back and he stopped in his tracks.
Bei Yuewu was furious. "Murong Jiancheng, what's the meaning of this? Why did you stop halfway? Just tell me if you're impotent!"
"…"
With his back facing her, Murong Jiancheng lifted his hand to wipe the corner of his lips. There was blood trickling down the corner of his lips.
He couldn't stay here any longer.
He didn't want her to see him like this.
Murong Jiancheng steeled his heart and left.
…
Murong Jiancheng returned to his room. His heart ached. It tightened and tightened as if it was being squeezed by a large palm.
All these years, his health had been deteriorating. He hadn't paid attention to his health because he was too worried about the country's affairs.
Some time ago, he was diagnosed with a heart attack.
His shirt was already drenched in cold sweat. Murong Jiancheng quickly walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer and took out a medicine bottle.
He poured out two pills and swallowed them raw.
Murong Jiancheng sat on the carpet, leaning against the bed frame. One leg was bent and the other was placed horizontally. It was silent all around him and he could clearly feel the pain in his heart.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The crystal chandelier above his head became blurry in his vision. He seemed to be dreaming.
He dreamt of the time when she was pregnant with Yeming. The Imperial Doctor had said that pregnant women were not allowed to have intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy.
He came back much earlier than usual. He brought the documents back to his room and accompanied her as much as he could.
After all, this was his first child. It was his first time being a father and he naturally valued the two of them more than anything else.
He sat on the desk, looking at the documents. At this moment, he felt something soft beside him. She leaned over and placed a red cherry by his lips. She smiled. "Here."
He opened his mouth, wanting to eat it.
But she retracted her hand and threw the cherry into her mouth. She leaped into his arms and fed it to him.
The documents in his hands fell onto the carpet. He hugged her slender waist and fell onto the desk.
The documents were scattered all over the floor.
The female servant outside was already very perceptive. She quickly closed the door after hearing the sound of the wind.
After kissing for a while, he suddenly let go of her. "I'm going to take a cold shower."
He entered the bathroom and turned on the shower.
At this moment, he heard light footsteps. He glanced sideways and saw that she had followed him. She had taken off her coat and was wearing a white singlet with her navel exposed. She stepped on the carpet with her bare feet and looked at him seductively. "Hubby, let me scrub your back ~"
Murong Jiancheng felt like he was dreaming. His mind was filled with that beautiful face, as though she was right beside him.
"Emperor."
Someone called out to him.
Murong Jiancheng slowly opened his eyes and murmured hoarsely, "Yuewu …"
He saw the person in front of him clearly. It was Elle.
It wasn't Bei Yuewu.
The smile on Murong Jiancheng's face froze.
Ere looked at Murong Jiancheng worriedly. "Your Majesty, your heart attack is acting up again. I heard you calling … Madam Bei just now."
He kept calling her.
"Emperor, why don't you tell Mistress Bei? No matter how many days you have left, let Mistress Bei stay by your side."
Murong Jiancheng lowered his eyes and didn't say a word.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and Bei Yuewu's voice could be heard. "Murong Jiancheng, come out right now!"
Bei Yuewu had arrived. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't understand what he meant. What did he mean just now?
He wanted her so much.
But he suddenly left.
She needed an answer.
Bei Yuewu was someone who knew what she wanted and pursued it bravely. She knew that she was still in love with Murong Jiancheng. He wasn't with Dongfang Wanqing and he hadn't slept with another woman for the past 26 years. She felt that he still loved her, even if it was just a little.
She wanted to be with him, to be together forever and never be apart.
Bei Yuewu knocked on the door forcefully. "Murong Jiancheng, come out right now. I have something to ask you.
"Let me ask you, do you love me or not?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the room opened with a click. It was … Elle.
"Murong …" Bei Yuewu's words came to an abrupt halt, the light in her eyes dimming.
She had almost forgotten that he had Elle by his side.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of her. It was Murong Jiancheng.
Murong Jiancheng looked at her. He no longer had the intimacy from before. Instead, he looked distant. "What's the matter?"
Bei Yuewu's eyes turned cold. She didn't have the desire to say what she wanted to say just now.
His attitude said it all.
"Mm, there's something. You said to sign the divorce papers at 8 am, but I can't wait any longer. I want to sign the papers now. Murong Jiancheng, let's get the divorce papers done now."
With that, Bei Yuewu lifted her head to look at him, not letting go of any expression on his handsome face.
Murong Jiancheng's pupils contracted slightly. He clenched his fists tightly in his pockets and the veins on his palms were throbbing.
Even though his heart was in turmoil, he didn't show it on his face. He nodded slowly under her gaze. "Wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
The door closed.
…
Bei Yuewu watched as the door closed in front of her. He had personally extinguished her last hope.
She had said that she wanted to get a divorce. This was her last gamble, her biggest bet.
He nodded his head and let her lose completely.
Tears welled up in her eyes and large droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks.
…
In the room. Murong Jiancheng had changed into a grey shirt. He had overheard her asking him if he loved her.
"Your Majesty," Ere said from behind, "If you love someone, you have to say it out loud. Otherwise, how would a woman know if a man loves her?"
Murong Jiancheng didn't reply.
"If Your Majesty can't say it out loud, you can give Madam Bei a red rose. The meaning of a red rose is' I love you '."
Red rose?
Murong Jiancheng paused while buttoning his shirt.
…
In the study room, a staff member rushed in and handed over two copies of the divorce agreement. "Your Majesty, Mistress, you can sign at the bottom. After you've signed, I'll print it out and you'll be able to get your divorce certificate. Then, you'll be officially divorced from your husband."
Murong Jiancheng and Bei Yuewu sat on two chairs. Murong Jiancheng glanced sideways at Bei Yuewu, only to see her pick up a pen and sign her name on the divorce papers without hesitation.
Murong Jiancheng lowered his eyes and signed his name as well.
"Please wait for a moment."
The staff walked over to the printer and placed the documents into it.
What they didn't know was that outside, Jun Xiqing was standing in front of the main power switch. She tiptoed and pressed the 'power off' button.
