Yun Bixue shuddered before stiffening. She slowly raised her head to look at Xie Limo in shock.

This was the first time he said such harsh words to her. She could not really accept it at first. She felt her heart pierce before it began to hurt.

"Limo?" Yun Bixue gaped, not knowing what to say. He said he would not bother with her anymore?

These words made Yun Bixue's heart turn sour as it began to throb in pain. Even if she did not tell him the truth about going out in the afternoon, he should not have said such words to her!

An aggrieved feeling surged through Yun Bixue's heart. She knew she should not throw her temper at this, but women had times when they could not control their emotions too.

She cared too much, so even one sentence from him could make her heart hurt.

She felt that her eyes were stinging too. She tried her best to hold her tears back and prevent them from falling.

She stumbled backwards for a few steps before she turned around.

After Xie Limo said those harsh words and saw Yun Bixue's reaction, he regretted a little.

However, his heart was burning with flames of rage. He had yet to vent his anger, that was why he could not help saying those harsh words.

Only the heavens knew how scared he was when he came home and did not see her.

He searched everywhere, but he could not find her. She did not bring her phone with her either. This made his anger surge beyond control.

Xie Limo did not say any words even after Yun Bixue turned around. She took in a few deep breaths to suppress the hurt and grievance in her heart.

She slowly said, "I went to find Majesty Huang this afternoon. I wanted him to return to the imperial family and re-enter politics to stand up against Majesty Kang and thoroughly investigate the firearms smuggling incident. However, after I spoke a few sentences, Majesty Huang did not quite agree with me, so I came back."

After she spoke, she headed straight for the bedroom and did not speak to Xie Limo again.

When Xie Limo heard Yun Bixue tell the truth, his heart softened. Thinking about the harsh words he had just said made him a little regretful.

Xie Limo rubbed his brows. What was wrong with him today? He felt that he could not really control his anger or words.

He sat on the sofa and rubbed his head with both his hands. He shut his eyes and sighed as he sank into deep thought…

Although Yun Bixue only explained in a few sentences, he understood his wife. If not for him, she would not go and plead with other people.

After thinking for a while, he realized that she had lingering fear over the incident at Gui County. She was also afraid that Majesty Kang would find out about the incident this time around and harm him, or even kill him.

That was probably why she went to plead with Majesty Huang!

It was he who misled her in this. He once said that if there was anyone who could stand up against Majesty Kang, it would be Majesty Huang.

As Xie Limo thought about it, he smacked his head with his palm. He felt guilty, but more of it was heartache.

Time slipped by slowly. One stayed in the bedroom, while one remained in the living room. Neither of them went to talk to each other.

The sky gradually turned dark. Suddenly, the sound of the bedroom door opening was heard. Yun Bixue ran into the washroom hurriedly and closed the door.

When Xie Limo heard the sound of the door opening, he was about to stand up in surprise. However, right after that, he saw the washroom door close before his eyes. From the start till the end, he only saw his wife's silhouette flash by.

Yun Bixue leaned on the basin as she kept on retching.

No matter how bad her retching was, she restrained herself and did not let any sound escape from her. Even if he said harsh words to her, she did not want him to worry.

Xie Limo's expression changed as if he suddenly recalled something.
