Chapter 186 Leaving

Quan Minghe didn't know where his thoughts drifted to. He was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding.

He replied softly, "Yes, I was indeed injured. But it's all over, it's not a big deal."

Shen Yuning was silent for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more.

He just whispered, "Let me help you put on your clothes."

After carefully helping him tidy up his clothes, Shen Yuning was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say to him.

Originally, the two of them were just showing their cards to each other and not disturbing each other.

For her, being indifferent is the best way to get along with others.

But now, Quan Minghe was willing to risk his own life to save her and had become her savior. How could she keep a cold face?

Shen Yuning frowned slightly and looked up at the darkening sky.

He said, "I don't know when Zhao Cong will be here. It's getting dark soon. I'll go find some water."

In order to prevent the wound from bursting and bleeding more, Quan Minghe sat on the ground, with his back against a big tree, his eyes fixed on Shen Yuning who was standing not far away.

He sensed her embarrassment, so he didn't force her to get closer.

I also realized that she left just to escape.

It was obvious that she was using him and deceiving him, but for some reason, he felt that as long as she took the initiative to apologize, he could let bygones be bygones and put all the previous events behind him.

But she was hard-hearted and determined to move away from him, with no intention of reconciliation at all.

"come over."

Quan Minghe's voice was still deep and mellow, but at this moment it revealed a hint of weakness that was difficult to conceal.

Shen Yuning was startled, walked to his side as he said, and slowly squatted down.

Quan Minghe stared at her, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

"When I brought you back to the palace from the Shen Mansion, I asked you if you were willing to start over with me."

"Now that I think about it, you were filled with hatred and had just experienced the pain of losing your son. I can understand why you were so hypocritical towards me."

"But now that Liu Shihan is dead and the hatred has disappeared, I can forget about all your previous deceptions, concealments, and calculations. Let's start over, okay?"

Shen Yuning listened quietly, her expression calm, but she remained silent.

She came into this world just to complete a mission.

Whether it was Quan Minghe, Feng Moheng, or Ye Jinshu, she would never be able to give her true heart to them.

Kwon Myung Hyuk gave her a position of power and she reciprocated with her beauty and emotional value.

Feng Moheng was originally part of the mission. She was insincere towards him, but how sincere was he?

Ye Jinshu has not done anything to let her down so far, but she deceived his feelings in order to complete the task. She doesn't like to owe others, so she plans to repay him with a wish from the system.

All the men in this world who have entanglements with her are just passers-by.

She didn't owe them anything.

However, this time, she was being chased and she actually owed Quan Minghe a life.

But she was determined to find that person, resolve her doubts, and then return to the modern era.

She had never thought of repaying the favor of saving her life with her own body.

The forest was so quiet that only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard. Quan Minghe waited for Shen Yuning's response, but her long silence was like a thunderclap that made his heart ache.

It made him feel even more uncomfortable than the silence in the study that day.

His heart seemed to fall into an abyss, sinking and sinking...

Finally, Quan Minghe could no longer suppress the emotions surging in his heart, and he reached out and pressed down the back of Shen Yuning's head.

He raised his head, pressed his thin lips against her red lips, pried her lips open, and with a hint of unwillingness, entangled with hers.

Shen Yuning was originally squatting, but because he pressed on the back of her head, she kneeled on his legs unconsciously. In order to avoid touching his wound, she had to gently support his shoulders with her hands.

Shen Yuning neither rejected nor responded to his passionate kiss, but just endured it quietly.

The sound of their kiss was particularly clear in the quiet forest.

However, Quan Minghe could not get any response from her, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart burst out like a flood.

He stopped and pressed his forehead against hers. His red eyes seemed to hide deep affection and confusion.

Staring straight at her.

"Why don't you say anything? Tell me what's wrong with me. You can also tell me what you want."

Quan Minghe paused, still waiting for no response.

"Shen Yuning, what are you hiding from me?"

Shen Yuning closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and looked at him calmly.

"Our meeting was a mistake from the beginning. I long for a lifelong companionship and a husband who only has me in his heart."

"Originally, I was the free and easy daughter of the Shen family in the northwest. I could live freely. But after coming to Qianjing, everything changed."

"In the Prince's Mansion, I was bullied by Feng Moheng and Liu Jingyi. After entering the palace, you told me not to have such wishful thinking."

"I have to guard against the schemes of the many women in your harem every day, but even so, I still can't defend myself. Which of the injuries I have suffered did not originate from your imperial decree granting me marriage?"

"Your status as an emperor, your many women, your children, and the fact that you treated me as a pawn from the beginning, all of these made it impossible for me to fall in love with you."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

When Shen Yuning returned to the palace, she had something to say to him in her heart that was much more unpleasant than these words. However, considering that he had just saved her life, she felt there was no need to say those more hurtful words.

Quan Minghe was struck by lightning and froze for a moment.

turn out to be......

She hated herself from the beginning and never thought she would fall in love with him.

Is everything between them fake?

Shen Yuning felt his hand behind her head gradually loosen, so she stood up and said softly, "I'll go find some water."

Quan Minghe did not stop her, but just watched her back gradually walking away.

Shen Yuning searched in the forest for about a quarter of an hour but still couldn't find any water.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared before her like a ghost.

She subconsciously wanted to scream, but the man in black quickly pulled down the cloth covering his face.

Feng Moheng!

Feng Moheng hugged him tightly and whispered, "You scared me to death today."

"Why are you here? Isn't this your plan today?"

"Of course not. Today's assassin clearly intended to kill you."

"As soon as your convoy entered the territory of Ruijin County, I sent people to secretly monitor it. So, I soon learned about your assassination and rushed over in a hurry."

"The person who assassinated you should have followed you all the way from Ganjing, not from Ruijin County."

Shen Yuning frowned tightly.

She had offended many people in the harem, including Concubine Yan, Concubine Wang, and the deceased Liu Shihan.

Who on earth is so cruel?

Shen Yuning's eyes narrowed and she pushed him away. "Then why did you come here today? Aren't you afraid that Quan Minghe will find out?"

"Of course I'll take you away."

"Now?"

Feng Moheng nodded.

"I have prepared a female corpse for you. It looks very similar to you. We can create the illusion that you were caught up and killed by today's assassin."

Shen Yuning frowned: "If Quan Minghe finds the body, there is no way he won't recognize it."

Feng Moheng smiled and said confidently: "The female corpse will be thrown into a hidden river. It will take Quan Minghe two or three days to find it. By then, the corpse will be swollen and deformed, and it will be difficult to identify."

"As for the face, I have asked a miracle doctor to adjust its features."

In this way, Feng Moheng can also escape unscathed and put the blame on today's assassin.

Shen Yuning was silent for a moment.

Feng Moheng's expression changed, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yuning shook her head and subconsciously turned to look in the direction of Quan Minghe.

The next time we meet, I will use you to kill Feng Moheng for the last time.

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Yuning followed Feng Moheng away and after entering his carriage, she took off her clothes and all her jewelry and changed into the clothes Feng Moheng had prepared for her.

And all her things were taken away by Feng Moheng's men.
