Chapter 1294: Divorce Letter

Murong Jiancheng’s body stiffened when he heard her, his ears turning even redder.

He wasn’t the proactive type in bed, he only made love with her in the first few months of their marriage. After she left, he never had another woman.

Bei Yuewu saw his ears redden and with a sweet voice, she purred, “You reign over Country A, constantly putting on a stern expression while lecturing others. If your citizens were to learn that you’re a fan of French kisses even at such an old age, how are you going to face them?”

Murong Jiancheng pressed his lips into a thin line. Although he was slightly displeased, he didn’t say anything. All he did was to get off the bed.

But the next moment, Bei Yuewu wrapped her hands around his neck, giggling at him. “Blockhead!”

And then she kissed him, feeding her tongue inside his mouth. It was only then that Murong Jiancheng realized that she was teasing him at that moment. She was too much! He reciprocated the kiss with ignited passion.

She loved calling him blockhead when they were younger.

Their lips finally separated after a while, their breathing hot and heavy.

Murong Jiancheng’s kisses trailed downwards to her neck.

“Hey, blockhead.” Bei Yuewu pushed him.

“What’s the matter?”

“Get someone to prepare condoms.”

Lifting his head, Murong Jiancheng looked at her with pursed lips. “We’re already at this age, why do we still need condoms?”

Bei Yuewu pouted her lips unhappily. “I’m 18, but I’m not forever 18. You can be old all you want, I’m not joining you.”

What else was there to say?

Indeed, she wasn’t old at all. On the other hand, he had devoted too much to administer the country and had an old soul.

Murong Jiancheng was helpless, he could only shake his head as he said, “Fine, you’re forever 18.”

As he said that, his eyelids were heavy, so heavy he could barely keep his eyes open.

Bei Yuewu looked at him, blinking her eyes at him coquettishly. “Blockhead, should I give birth to another son for you?”

“Nonsense! After Ming’er gets married and the crown prince is born, we’ll be grandparents.”

Right after he said that Murong Jiancheng’s vision turned blank and he fainted.

…

After some time, Murong Jiancheng gradually opened his eyes.

He was still in his room on his bed. Everything remained the same, only one thing changed. Bei Yuewu was gone.

Murong Jiancheng quickly sat up, her voice resounded in his ears—-Blockhead, should I give birth to another son for you?

Jesus, she had run away again!

And she had drugged him! The drug was in her mouth and she drugged him when they kissed.

Murong Jiancheng got down the bed and he spotted a piece of paper that was placed on the nightstand.

When he picked up the sheet, the words ‘Divorce Letter’ stared back at him.

Murong Jiancheng’s eyes widened when he saw the two words.

He continued reading it.

—-I left hurriedly 23 years ago and didn’t have the chance to leave a divorce letter behind. Now, I, Bei Yuewu, am leaving an official notice to divorce you, Murong Jiancheng. I’m going to have my pick among the countless handsome men who are waiting for me, while you can also have the option to marry anyone else you want.

—-Also, don’t look for me anymore. Blockhead, I don’t love you anymore.

A signature was at the bottom, where she had signed off with a flourish.

The unorthodox nature of this divorce letter didn’t affect its legality. As long as he put his signature on it, they would be officially divorced.

This woman!

She acted so gently just now, so it was all to fool him! He just couldn’t understand why she had to do this even when he decided to put everything down and not settle his scores with her anymore.

All he knew was that she wasn’t joking this time. She only chose to leave 23 years ago, but this time, she chose to end everything and cut him off. This was the closure the past had lacked.

But what had he done wrong?

Hot, searing fury coursed through his veins and Murong Jiancheng flung his arm out towards a chair, with one forceful chop. The chair split into two halves.

Drip. His palm was injured and blood started dripping.

Her words repeated in his mind—-Blockhead, I don’t love you anymore.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?” A gentle voice came from outside. It was Dongfang Wanqing.

All he wanted was for her to leave.

“Nothing.”

The next moment, the room door was pushed open and Dongfang Wanqing stepped inside with Dongfang Ruoli following behind her.

Noticing that he was injured, Dongfang Wanqing gasped and she was frantic with worry. “Your Majesty, what happened to you? Ruoli, hurry up and call the Imperial Physician over!”

“Yes.” Dongfang Ruoli turned around to leave.

“There’s no need for that, it’s just a minor injury.” With a sweep of his arm, Murong Jiancheng stopped Dongfang Ruoli.

Dongfang Wanqing looked at Murong Jiancheng. It seemed his complexion wasn’t good. His facial muscles were all tensed up, but at the same time, his face was pale. His right hand was still bleeding and he clutched a piece of paper with his other hand. She couldn’t read the contents of it, but she could roughly recognize the handwriting.

It seemed Bei Yuewu had come back.

After 23 years, she was finally back!

Even so, Dongfang Wanqing remained gentle. “Your Majesty, did the Empress leave right after she came back?

“I know that she’s still unhappy about the incident 23 years ago. She thought that you let her down since you entered my room and even wanted to take me as your consort. However, she does not know about the truth.

“Every Emperor must marry a Holy Lady and give birth to the Crown Prince. This is a tradition that has existed for generations. Being the chosen one to lead the country, you couldn’t escape from this responsibility. However, the Empress fell in love with you back then, doing everything she could to ruin our marriage. We should have been married, but she forcibly married you. You know that the late Emperor added her name to the death list long ago.

“Remember that time when her food was poisoned and you found out about it? You treasured her so much, guarding her by her side and personally protecting her. You were a filial man, but you fell out with your father all because of her.

“The Empress got pregnant after that and the late Emperor fell sick. Before his death, the late Emperor’s ultimatum was for you to take me as your consort in exchange for keeping the Empress and Crown Prince’s lives.

“If you didn’t agree to it, he didn’t mind letting this palace be blood-stained, ending the Empress and Crown Prince’s lives, with many other innocent people included.

“That fateful night, you came into my room and I put up an act with you, when in fact, nothing happened. After that, you told the Empress that you wanted to take me as your consort and she completely changed after that. After she gave birth to the Crown Prince, she ran away and with the disappearance of the Crown Prince, the country experienced political instability, with power being divided among the dukes.

“Your Majesty, why don’t you explain everything to the Empress? After she learns of the truth, she might be able to put the past down and reconcile with you.”

Murong Jiancheng clutched the ‘divorce letter’ in his hand tightly. With the reminder of the past, he felt that everything that he had done out of love for her was in vain. It was all a joke.

Dongfang Ruoli humphed, feeling the unfairness of it all. “Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Empress is too spoiled and haughty, she has never spared a thought for you. You don’t need this kind of woman.”

Right after she said that, Murong Jiancheng lifted his head, glaring at Dongfang Ruoli fiercely.

The threat was evident in his entire demeanor.

Dongfang Ruoli’s face drained of all color. Murong Jiancheng had adored her since young and treated her well, he had never glared at her in such a way before.

Never.
