Following the direction of the sobbing, Empress Lü Ya must have been sitting at the head of the bed.
Qi Weihuan did not engage with her; he simply halted his steps near the foot of the bed, followed by the sound of gulping down liquid—more accurately, drinking alcohol.
The Demon Race Emperor had a fondness for liquor, which was no secret, as most from the Horned Clan enjoyed grains, fruits, and particularly alcoholic beverages.
After a few drinks, Qi Weihuan hurled insults at his wife, all of them slurs offensive to the Mao Clan, causing even Long Hu to frown in displeasure.
The discord between the emperor and empress was common knowledge.
Lü Ya hailed from the White Tiger Clan, was naturally proud and stubborn, and bore the carnivore's disdain characteristic of her clan towards any from the Horned Clan.
Qi Weihuan, as the emperor, how could he tolerate racial discrimination from his own wife?
