Chapter 198 Confession

As the dusk deepened, the sunset glow in the sky burned like flames, dyeing the entire sky a brilliant red-gold color.

Quan Minghe strode into the mansion with big strides, his clothes fluttering and an irresistible majesty in his steps.

He walked straight towards Shen Yuling's yard, with a hint of coldness between his brows.

In the yard, Shen Yuling was sitting on a swing, her toes lightly tapping the ground, and the swing swayed slightly.

Her eyes were empty as she looked at the sunset in the distance, as if her thoughts had drifted to a faraway place.

A breeze blew by, lifting her hair slightly, making her pretty and bright face look a little cold.

Sensing someone approaching, Shen Yuling paused on her toes and the swing slowly stopped.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and deliberately avoided Quan Minghe's gaze.

Quan Minghe stood in front of her, his eyes were heavy, his voice was low and cold: "We will return to Ganjing tomorrow."

Shen Yuling's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't raise her head. She just replied softly: "Have you finished your work?"

Quan Minghe nodded, his eyes still locked on her, and his voice was full of meaning: "I have finished my business, but we have to deal with your business properly."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly bent down and picked her up from the swing.

Shen Yuling was caught off guard, let out a low cry, and subconsciously placed her hands on his chest.

Quan Minghe ignored her struggles, sat on the swing, and placed her across his legs.

Kwon Myung-hyuk's long legs lightly tapped the ground, and the swing started to swing again.

He put one arm around her waist and with the other hand lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Shen Yuling was forced to look up and meet his eyes, but she saw that his expression was calm and his eyes were unfathomable.

Her heart tightened slightly, and her fingers unconsciously clenched his sleeves.

Quan Minghe's fingers gently stroked her chin. The action seemed gentle, but it carried a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

His voice was somewhat tentative: "There are some things I want to clarify."

Shen Yuling frowned, feeling slightly uneasy, but still trying to remain calm: "What do you want to ask?"

Quan Minghe's gaze was as sharp as a knife, piercing straight into her eyes: "You approached Feng Moheng in order to kill Liu Jingyi, right?"

A hint of panic flashed across Shen Yuling's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

She turned her head away, trying to break free from his hand, her voice filled with a hint of anger: "Since you already know everything, why are you still asking me?"

Quan Minghe applied a little force with his fingers, and a red mark suddenly appeared on her chin.

His voice was a little colder, with an unavoidable question: "Your hatred for Liu Jingyi started before you married into the Prince's Mansion, right?"

This was just his guess, but if it was just because of what Liu Jingyi did in the Prince's Mansion, it would not be enough for her to contact Feng Moheng again in order to kill Liu Jingyi.

Shen Yuling was silent for a moment, and finally uttered a word slowly: "Yes."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper, but every word was clear.

Quan Minghe's eyes darkened.

The swing swayed gently, and the two figures intertwined in the twilight, like a quiet but undercurrent painting.

After a pause, he asked in a low voice with a subtle tremor, "You approached me and entered the harem to kill Liu Shihan, right?"

Shen Yuling met his gaze without dodging it. She looked calm and said one word without hesitation: "Yes."

Since Quan Minghe asked this question, he must have connected all the clues together and made his own judgment on the ins and outs of the matter.

Trying to hide it any further would only be deceiving yourself and others.

Quan Minghe smiled bitterly, his voice slightly hoarse: "You deliberately approached me just to achieve your own goals. You guided me step by step, making me fall in love with you involuntarily. I was sad and upset for you, anxious for you, and heartbroken for you. You played with my feelings in the palm of your hand. How do you feel?"

Shen Yuling reached out and held his hand that was still holding her chin, and said, "I made you fall in love with me just because I wanted you to stand by my side forever. I am naturally happy to have you protecting me. Apart from that, I have no other thoughts."

She frowned slightly, with a flash of grievance in her eyes, "Kwon Minghe, is it my fault that you fell in love with me? Shouldn't you think about why I didn't fall in love with you?"

"Because you're not nice to me at all..."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice became a little choked up, "It hurts, please let go."

Quan Minghe's originally cold and tense mood suddenly became like a kite with a broken string the moment he heard her words.

She always puts the blame on others!

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what she said seemed to make sense.

He was not good enough to her, and failed to make her trust him without reservation, so she could only rely on her own calculations to maneuver and achieve her goals...

Before he knew it, Quan Minghe's hand slowly loosened.

His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing that Quan Minghe's expression softened, she leaned her head gently on his shoulder.

Her voice was soft and coquettish, "I'm sorry, you are the emperor who is high above me. Falling in love with you makes me feel terrified."

"You have so many beauties in your harem, and so many princes and princesses to enjoy your company, but I have nothing. I dare not give my true heart to you easily."

Tears shone in her eyes as she continued, "But Feng Moheng is different. He told me that I am his only wife and that I will be the only one by his side for the rest of his life."

"I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, racking my brains to scheme every day. I just want to spend my life with my husband, living in harmony with him."

"right……"

When Shen Yuling was about to say this, her eyes suddenly rolled, as if she suddenly thought of something, and her tone changed.

She called softly, "Brother Minghe, if you hate me who is full of calculations, then let me go and forget about me. I will never appear in front of you again."

The sunset gradually faded away its last brilliant colors, and the night fell slowly like a huge piece of black satin.

Quan Minghe's dark eyes also quietly disappeared into the darkness, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar name, Kwon Myung-hyuk seemed to be frozen.

At the same time, Xixi's words from those years also resounded in his mind: "Brother Minghe, don't be sad. Even if I am gone, you must be an emperor whose name will go down in history. Forget me."

He had forgotten all of them.

He is an emperor and owns the whole world, but why can't he keep a woman he truly loves?

Quan Minghe's eyes were filled with paranoia: "Even if I lock you up in the deep palace, I will never let you leave."

"As for Feng Moheng..."

Quan Minghe paused for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, like a cheetah ready to attack, and continued to ask, "Liu Shihan is dead, Liu Jingyi is also dead, who is your next target?"
