Chapter 204 Are you satisfied?
The moonlight was like frost, casting a cold light on the tense palace road.
Feng Moheng held Shen Yuling in his arms, his life rapidly fading away. But at his last moments, a vast amount of memories flooded into his mind like a surging tide.
He suddenly covered his head, the pain on his face instantly twisted, and cold sweat dripped down like rain.
"No!"
He roared in despair in his heart.
“This is not me!”
Feng Moheng shook his head with cold sweat on his forehead.
"How could I do such a thing to Yuling? How could I watch her die in the sea of fire?!"
However, when the memory flowed to the picture of Liu Jingyi, Feng Moheng's expression became complicated.
His memory stopped at the time when Shen Yuling died in a sea of fire.
Initially, he just wanted to make Liu Jingyi jealous, so he turned a blind eye to her behavior of making things difficult for Shen Yuling, and even secretly hoped that the fight between them would make Liu Jingyi care more about him.
He was flirting with Shen Yuling, but before he knew it, his heart began to uncontrollably lean towards her.
Those moments they spent together, Shen Yuling's every frown and smile were quietly engraved in his heart.
They even had physical contact and became husband and wife.
But he hid all this from Liu Jingyi.
until……
Shen Yuling is pregnant.
This should have been a happy event, but Liu Jingyi was heartbroken and even threatened to commit suicide.
In order to appease Liu Jingyi and express his love, Feng Moheng had no choice but to allow her to bully Shen Yuling.
Feng Moheng didn't know whether Liu Jingyi was responsible for the fire.
But the moment the fire started, he wanted to save Shen Yuling.
But Liu Jingyi held his hand tightly, and said with tears streaming down her face: "I can't accept another woman giving birth to your child. This fire was an accident, so let Shen Yuling leave in an accident. I will love you wholeheartedly in the future, and we will have children who grow up in love."
At that time, Feng Moheng, after weighing the pros and cons, ultimately valued Liu Jingyi more.
He hardened his heart and watched Shen Yuling disappear in the sea of fire.
The moment he turned his head, he saw the smug smile on Liu Jingyi's face. He didn't think much about it at the time, but when he thought about it now, that smile was like a knife, stabbing into his heart.
At that time, after Feng Moheng realized that Shen Yuling was dead, he felt a heaviness in his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Hasn't he been taking advantage of Shen Yuling all along?
He always thought that he didn't like her at all, but when she really died, his heart felt empty, as if he had lost something vital.
Later, he and Liu Jingyi reconciled, but it seemed that they could never go back to the way they were before.
After Shen Yuling's death, he always felt that Liu Jingyi's love for him had changed, and her personality seemed to have changed.
In his memory of that life, he was never able to figure it all out until his death.
But now, he finally understood that Liu Jingyi had never really loved him.
The person he truly loved was Shen Yuling from beginning to end!
In the memory of another life without Liu Jingyi's intervention, he and Shen Yuling lived in harmony with each other, and they were a pair for life, going through countless spring, summer, autumn and winter hand in hand until they were old.
"So, Yu Ling in this life is here to take revenge on me?"
Feng Moheng widened his eyes, the candle of life swaying in the wind and about to go out.
His eyes fell on Shen Yuling's cold face, and he murmured, "So you were once mine, and I was yours... I'm sorry..."
On this day, he said sorry so many times, and every word was filled with endless regret and guilt.
As she was talking, Shen Yuling saw the bloodshot corners of Feng Moheng's eyes and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.
In the tears, perhaps I am hating my own paranoid personality, but no matter how much I regret, I am powerless to change the outcome...
The night is as dark as ink, enveloping everything in the world.
Shen Yuling's hand slowly loosened, and Feng Moheng's body fell weakly on the cold ground, without the last breath.
She stood up slowly, her skirt swaying slightly with her movements.
Quan Minghe walked down from the majestic imperial carriage. His eyes swept across Feng Moheng's gradually cooling body, and then locked onto Shen Yuling tightly, as if his eyes could see through her soul.
"Satisfied?"
His voice was cold, echoing in the silent night, but it carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue and helplessness.
Shen Yuling slowly walked towards Quan Minghe with no fear on her face.
She raised her head, her eyes gleaming with victory, "Well, I'm satisfied."
She walked up to him, hugged him gently, put her face on his chest, and felt his steady heartbeat.
"From the beginning, I never looked back for my goal."
"Shen Yuling, you really surpass my perception of you time and time again. Acting is secondary, and conquering the heart is the most important. You can actually make Feng Moheng end his own life."
Quan Minghe's black eyes looked straight ahead, deep as the abyss, making it difficult to fathom.
His hands unconsciously stroked her long hair, his movements were gentle yet a little melancholy.
"So, I've been lying to you, too, but...thank you."
Shen Yuling's voice sounded muffled in his chest, with a hint of complicated emotions.
Initially, she approached Quan Minghe in order to use him to achieve her own goals.
In the harem, which woman didn't approach him with her own calculations and desires?
So, she didn't feel that she owed him anything.
Later, Quan Minghe's heart gradually sank, and his demands on her became more and more.
From initially being attracted by her beauty and companionship, to later longing for her true heart.
It was he who fell into the web of love she had woven, and it was he who failed to maintain the coldness and rationality of an emperor. Naturally, he should bear the consequences of all this.
From the beginning to the end, Shen Yuling was only willing to negotiate a deal of interest with him and never thought about having a love affair with him.
After all, she knew from the beginning that he had a harem full of beauties and a son and a daughter.
Therefore, she had already determined the fate of everyone. Now that the mission is completed, all she can give him is a "thank you".
"Thanks?"
Quan Minghe grabbed her shoulders and used his hands to push her into his body. "Do you think a simple thank you can repay your deception to me? From the moment you stepped into my world and calculated every step, you should have known that I would never let you go easily."
Although he spoke fierce words, his heart sank as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Because this thank you seemed to draw a clear line between me and him, and the tone and gesture revealed a determination to leave.
Shen Yuling was unmoved. She broke free from his hand, took a step back, and looked determined. "I knew what I was doing from the beginning. I approached you for profit. Who doesn't live for profit? I used you, just like you use everyone around you."
"You own the world, what kind of woman can't you get? Why do you have to cling to my true love?"
Doesn't Kwon Myung Hyuk treat everyone as pawns?
When he becomes a pawn on the chessboard, he can't accept it?
Quan Minghe was silent for a long time, but in the end he said nothing.
But now he just wants her.
No matter what the cost, no matter where in her world she was, he would find her.
In the end, Quan Minghe just took her hand and led her to the royal carriage.
Amid the sound of horse hooves, the two returned to Weiyang Palace in the night. However, the journey was eerily quiet, as if even the air had frozen.
