Xiao Jinxing silently watched Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan could also sense Xiao Jinxing's shock.
Perhaps he never expected that she would truly go this far.
Bai Mowan said, "I actually know that Your Majesty has always been grateful to me, but it was never a romantic feeling between a man and a woman. Your Majesty was only moved by the warmth I provided in childhood, which led you to mistakenly believe that you liked me. However, the moment Your Majesty truly fell in love with the Empress, it became clear that the feelings for me were different from those for the Empress. I have now understood everything, so I wish to withdraw from the affections between Your Majesty and the Empress."
Xiao Jinxing pressed his lips together, his Adam's apple made a slight movement.
If this was indeed from the depths of Bai Mowan's heart, he could actually afford to show her more favor.
Even though they had reached such a point of rupture, he never truly harbored any murderous intent toward her.
