Chapter 222 Ending
After Quan Minghe left, Shen Yuling staggered back into the house as if she had lost her soul.
Then, with a "bang", the door was closed tightly, as if to isolate the whole world from outside.
Her back was pressed against the door, her body slowly slid down, and finally she squatted on the ground, her hands weakly hugging her knees, her head buried deeply in them.
The long suppressed cry suddenly burst out.
It was as if he wanted to vent out all the pain and grievances that had been buried deep in his heart for all these years.
Once, she tried to completely separate all of Chen Yangxi's emotions and memories and start a new life.
But Quan Minghe's "Xixi" and "Chenyangxi" were like opening the floodgates of memory, and the once sweet past surged and rushed through her mind like crazy.
Her carefully disguised strength collapsed in an instant.
On the other hand, after Ye Jinshu left in a hurry, he found after returning to the Northwest that those so-called official duties were nothing but trivial matters that were insignificant and had nothing to do with him.
Who else except the almighty Majesty could have the ability to transfer him away from Haiyu City?
Thinking of this, he became extremely anxious and secretly rushed back to Haiyu City without stopping.
As soon as he arrived outside the Chen residence, Ye Jinshu saw the county governor and those people who were dressed in ordinary guard uniforms but could not hide the unique aura of royal guards.
His heart sank as he realized that His Majesty was at home at the moment.
Ye Jinshu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he climbed over the wall without hesitation and ran straight towards Shen Yuling's yard.
The yard was dead silent, empty of people, only suppressed crying sounds echoed in the silent air, each cry sounded bloody.
Ye Jinshu walked to the door of the house. The sound of his crying became clearer and clearer, piercing his heart.
His back was leaning lightly against the door, his eyes were complicated, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wanwan, are you crying so sadly because of His Majesty?
Ever since Ye Jinshu met Shen Yuling, he has always felt that she is strong.
She acts decisively and never cares about the world's views. No matter what difficulties she encounters, she can always laugh it off freely.
She had never shown her vulnerable side in front of him, let alone cried.
The time they spent together was, just as Wanwan had said, plain and happy.
She was free and happy with him.
But her emotions never seemed to fluctuate too much because of him. Even if he left or fell in love with someone else, she might be able to accept it calmly.
Ye Jinshu had asked her many times whether she loved him, but in fact he already knew the answer, didn't he?
Originally, he thought that since she didn't love anyone, he, Ye Jinshu, would spend the rest of his life silently accompanying her, giving her warmth and support.
But at this moment, hearing the sad cry coming from the house that she had never heard before, Ye Jinshu suddenly became timid and didn't even dare to push the door to comfort her.
His Majesty is the one who can make her heartbroken, and isn't this the person she truly cares about deep in her heart?
Wanwan, did I delay you?
Will my existence affect your decision-making according to your heart?
Ye Jinshu leaned against the door, feeling bitter and struggling in his heart.
Only when the crying sounds in the house gradually became quieter and disappeared did he slowly turn around and leave with heavy steps.
The tranquility of the courtyard was torn to pieces by the suppressed crying, but by the window facing the door of the room, Kwon Myung-hyuk did not leave.
His figure was hidden in the darkness, leaning quietly to one side.
The window was open, and through it he could clearly see Shen Yuling squatting on the ground, curled up like a wounded beast.
Her crying was buried in her arms, but it still clearly penetrated into his ears.
In a flash, he suddenly remembered that when he asked her to watch Feng Moheng and another woman doing something dissolute, she also huddled in the corner and cried desperately.
Her tears soaked her clothes and also hurt his heart.
But now thinking about it, everything that happened was just a calculated plan and a clever disguise on her part.
So what now?
Kwon Myung-hyuk asked silently in his heart, are you really sad?
Didn't I promise you to leave?
Didn’t I promise not to interfere in your future life?
Shouldn't you be happy that you're finally free of me?
But why, why are you still crying?
The crying sound, again and again, pierced Quan Minghe's heart with pain.
When she asked him if he would let Shen Yangxi get pregnant against her will, Quan Minghe's first response was no.
But he couldn't help but ask himself, why did he let Shen Yuling get pregnant in the first place?
Because he was afraid, he was too afraid of losing her.
He had lost Xixi once before, and he still couldn't forget the heart-wrenching feeling when Shen Yuling resolutely jumped off the city wall.
Kwon Myung-hyuk thought he was strong enough, but faced with the fear of losing her, he found that he simply couldn't let go.
He is the emperor. He holds supreme imperial power in this world. No matter what tough measures he uses, he feels that he is right.
Because this is the rule of this world. Those who violate the imperial power are wrong.
After ascending the throne for more than a decade, this concept has long been deeply rooted in his heart. He is not wrong. Everything he does is to maintain his rule. He just wants to keep a woman he loves deeply...
What's more, he can give her the best material life and offer his true heart to her without reservation.
Apart from him, who else in this world could give her the capital to live freely and do whatever she wants?
But when he saw Xixi's face today and realized that they were the same person, Quan Minghe lost all his strength and was completely drained of his anger.
Perhaps, it was enough for her to exist in the same world as him.
He was willing to set her free.
Shen Yuling squatted on the ground for a long time, venting her emotions to her heart's content, and gradually calmed down.
She stood up slowly and raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes.
Her eyes returned to calm, as if the person who had just cried bitterly was not her.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
At this time, a maid hurried in, with a respectful look, and handed over a letter with both hands: "Madam, Master Ye just came here, this is a letter from him to you."
Shen Yuling's hands were shaking as she took the letter.
Slowly unfold:
See you every night:
Your Majesty, now that I have arrived, I can no longer suppress my emotions. I realize that although I have been by your side, I am not deep in your heart.
Love cannot be forced. If I am a burden to you, I would like to leave you freely.
From now on, I hope you can find a home for your soul in this noisy world. Even if you encounter storms, you can keep your heart warm. May your journey be smooth, your encounters be beautiful, and you be happy every year.
I keep all the past events in my heart, and I hope to think of them every night. There was once a person who cherished you.
Looking back on the past, I am so lucky to have you by my side for two years, to be my own every night.
See you later.
Brocade book, the last piece of writing.
Shen Yuling's fingertips trembled slightly.
After a long while, she gently folded the letter and put it against her chest.
She took a few steps forward, then slowly raised her head and looked at the boundless sky.
On the azure sky, clouds float leisurely, as if all the troubles in the world have nothing to do with them.
At this time, the breeze was blowing gently, ruffling her hair.
Shen Yuling's lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and whispered softly: "It's good too."
Although Ye Jinshu's departure made her feel empty, she also felt less entangled.
Although Kwon Myung-hyuk's letting go was bitter, it also allowed her to regain her freedom.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the freedom in the air.
For the rest of her life, the remaining mountains, lakes, seas and famous mountains and rivers of the Gan Dynasty will become the scenery of her journey.
From then on, she walked alone among the mountains and rivers, waiting for her son to step towards the throne and become a wise king.
