Chapter 79 Sending Her to the Palace
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”
Feng Moheng's eyes were red, and his voice was trembling and choked, almost incoherent.
When Shen Yuling saw him like this, her brows furrowed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
She asked quietly, gently pushing him away. x
Feng Moheng forced himself to calm down.
"I have been assigned by His Majesty to take up a post in Haiyu City. I will be leaving Qianjing in two days."
He took a deep breath.
She continued with difficulty: "His Majesty said that you are the daughter of Grand Protector Shen and cannot leave the capital. He also mentioned that the Prince's Mansion treated you harshly, and that I have never slept with you..."
"so......"
He paused, not daring to look Shen Yuling in the eye.
Shen Yuling felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
"So what?!"
She raised her voice.
"So His Majesty ordered you to enter the palace as Concubine Shen."
Feng Moheng's voice was as low as a mosquito, but it sounded like thunder in Shen Yuling's ears.
Shen Yuling was stunned for a moment as if struck by lightning.
He waved his hands unconsciously.
The bowl of porridge on the table fell to the ground with a "bang", and the porridge splashed everywhere.
She stood up suddenly, and the round stool made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Her face was pale and her eyes were full of shock and fear.
Feng Moheng lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye.
"Your Majesty will send someone to pick you up later. From today on, you will be His Majesty's Concubine Shen."
Shen Yuling's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.
She tried to accept this cruel reality, but deep down she was resisting desperately.
How could she accept it?
How could she serve two husbands? !
Shen Yuling placed her hands on Feng Moheng's legs in panic, her eyes full of pleading.
"My husband, please don't send me to His Majesty!"
Her voice was tearful and almost broken.
"I beg you, how can I serve two husbands?"
At this moment, she had completely lost her composure, and felt that the string of reason in her heart had completely broken.
The beliefs I had held since childhood were ruthlessly shattered at this moment.
Feng Moheng helped Shen Yuling up and let her sit back on the stool.
His eyes were also full of pain and helplessness.
She said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Yuling, I love you, I really love you, but Your Majesty threatened me with Jingyi and the child... I really have no other choice."
Shen Yuling looked at him with empty and dull eyes.
"So, there is no room for maneuver?"
Her voice was as light as a thread.
Feng Moheng suddenly hugged her into his arms, his arms holding her like iron clamps, as if this was the only way to keep her.
"Yuling, will you wait for me? I will come back to find you."
"Even if you become His Majesty's woman in the future, I don't care. I will definitely take you back. Just wait for me, okay?"
His eyes were bloodshot, traces of pain and struggle.
My heart felt like it was being stabbed by thousands of needles, the pain was so severe that I almost suffocated.
His hatred for His Majesty surged in his heart, and he even felt resentment towards his own mother.
I wish I could completely destroy all the obstacles in this world.
Why were the things we desired as children ruthlessly destroyed by our mother?
Why, after growing up, was the beloved woman forcibly taken away by his uncle?
Shen Yuling pushed him away with all her strength, her eyes full of determination and anger.
"Feng Moheng, I, Shen Yuling, have always dared to love and hate. I can accept that you don't love me, and I can also accept that you abandon me and turn to Liu Jingyi's arms."
"But I just can't stand the fact that you feel comfortable wasting my sincerity, yet you pretend to be affectionate and inseparable from me!"
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"You have been deceiving me ever since you lost your memory."
"You don't love me at all, and Liu Jingyi is definitely not just your savior. You two are a perfect match made in heaven. I accidentally got into this situation and became a superfluous person!"
"No, no, Yuling, I love you..."
Feng Moheng knew that no matter what he said now, it would be futile, but he didn't know how to express it.
The two choices His Majesty gave yesterday were actually no choices at all.
If Liu Jingyi is chosen, Liu Jingyi and the child can still survive.
If he chooses Shen Yuling, he will lose both of them.
Because Your Majesty has already made it clear that Shen Yuling is a chess piece used by Your Majesty to contain Shen Yuan, and she can only stay in Qianjing.
Feng Moheng was forced into a desperate situation and had no other way out.
This is the method used by the emperor of the Qian Dynasty, cruel and decisive, which makes people feel chilled.
The hour has come, the sun is high in the sky, casting a blinding light.
Shen Yuling stood straight and moved with light lotus steps.
He took Xitong and went straight to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
She walked with firm steps, as if carrying endless determination, her clothes fluttering in the wind, as if she wanted to cut off all the ties of the Prince's Mansion.
Feng Moheng followed her silently, his eyes locked on her back.
He seemed to see a heartbreaking determination through this back.
His face was red, his eyes were gloomy and dark, the persistence deep in his eyes was almost crazy, and there was a morbid gloom.
Yuling, please wait for me, I will come back to find you!
Shen Yuling walked to the gate and suddenly turned around.
Feng Moheng was caught off guard.
He hurriedly retracted his frightening look, fearing that his unusual appearance would scare her.
Feng Moheng walked in front of Shen Yuling, opened his lips slightly, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He had thousands of words in his heart, but at this moment, they were stuck in his throat.
Shen Yuling raised her head slightly and looked straight into his eyes.
"Feng Moheng, everything that happened to me in Ganjing was just an illusion. Should I thank you for the beautiful dream you gave me?"
"No, Yuling. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have lived with you till old age. We could have been a loving couple. This is not a dream, it is my promise to you."
Shen Yuling snorted and tilted her head to one side.
Obviously not.
A hint of stubbornness suddenly flashed across Feng Moheng's eyes.
He leaned close to her ear and said something extremely treasonous: "Yuling, I will definitely take you back from His Majesty. You will always be my wife."
"I know you won't believe anything I say now, but... this is from my heart."
Shen Yuling turned her head expressionlessly, her voice soft but cold.
"Feng Moheng, your true heart has never been towards me. Your true heart is with Liu Jingyi."
She paused, and her voice seemed a little ethereal.
"In the three months since I married into the Prince's Mansion, I have been sincere, brave, and hopeful. From now on, I will not be the one who has regrets."
"Feng Moheng, from now on we will be strangers and never see each other again."
Feng Moheng pursed his thin lips, and the hostility between his eyebrows became more and more intense.
Full of self-blame and regret.
She blamed herself for not letting her feel his liking and love for her.
He hated himself for being so incompetent that he couldn't even protect his wife.
He couldn't even utter a word to persuade her to stay.
She will not have any regrets. If she cannot get her back, she will be the only one suffering in regret and longing for the rest of her life.
Shen Yuling turned around resolutely and stepped onto the footrest of the carriage.
She got into the carriage, and with a shout from the driver, the carriage started slowly and drove away in a cloud of dust.
From today on, she is Emperor Qianyuan's Concubine Shen, and there is no more Princess Lingyang in the world.
