Chapter 125: Fighting for Love (5)
Could it really be what she thought? Ling Menghan was struggling with her heart. She didn't want to believe it, nor did she want to believe it . But only by believing it could she explain the feeling of disharmony emanating from Zhao Ziheng, right? The so-called disharmony was completely what Ling Menghan felt. Moreover, Zhao Ziheng never said that he loved Lin Wei from beginning to end. Why didn't he find out earlier? Ling Menghan felt something stuck in her throat. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She cast an inquiring look at Zhao Ziyin. She suddenly wanted to know who the person Zhao Ziheng loved was. Although he hadn't said it yet, she felt vaguely that she seemed to know this person?
As if aware of Ling Menghan's speculation, Zhao Ziyin said calmly: "You have seen that person not long ago."
Sure enough, even without saying it explicitly, Ling Menghan was still shocked, as if she had fallen from the ground into a dark abyss; although Ling Menghan had guessed it subconsciously, she still didn't dare to believe it, because the fact was too shocking, could it be? No, Ling Menghan strongly denied it in her heart.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Ling Menghan's voice was trembling a little, completely exposing her inner feelings, which made Zhao Ziyan feel even more lost.
"I'm telling you because you may not have the chance to see him again." Zhao Ziyu stated the fact calmly.
What kind of fact is this? Ling Menghan felt her whole body freeze, looking at Zhao Ziyin in disbelief and disbelief. Can this sentence be believed? Is it credible? No chance means Zhao Ziheng will never come back? Or does Zhao Ziheng want to send her away? Ling Menghan's intuition is the former... Ling Menghan felt that there were too many questions she wanted to know, but how to ask them? Where to start?
"He... wants to give up the throne? For that person?"
Ling Menghan felt that it was very difficult to speak. She could hardly believe it. He only loved the beauty and not the country? Would he give up the whole country for the beauty?
Zhao Ziyan knew what Ling Menghan was thinking, and in a sense, what she said was right. If he hadn't paid so much, Zhao Ziyan would hardly be able to accept it. But the truth is always so cruel that you can't or cannot help but accept it.
"Giving up the whole kingdom for a woman? According to what you said, he did so much for a woman. Can I understand it this way? Don't you think it's ridiculous? He used the duties of a king as a bargaining chip for his own love affairs. The man who was revered by the people did those things just for his own selfishness. It was really too selfish. Why did he receive the respect of the people? Why did he receive the love of the people? He was just a selfish person. Why could he accept the praise of his people like a great man? He used everyone... Why are you willing to be used by such a person? Why should I become one of the victims?"
Ling Menghan cried and shouted, and all the long-standing resentment seemed to burst out in this. She had known for a long time that there was an irreplaceable person in Zhao Ziheng's heart, and she also knew that he had a special liking for her. She never doubted that there would be a second person in Zhao Ziheng's heart, but she never expected it to be like this, to use everything she had in exchange for one person. This obsession and belief in the only one made Ling Menghan completely collapse.
Seeing the tears pouring out of Ling Menghan's eyes, Zhao Ziyin couldn't tell how he felt. He knew it a long time ago, didn't he? Why did his heart still hurt? He loved her, didn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so heartbroken to see her crying for another person. The person she loved was always more persistent and determined than anyone else. Zhao Ziheng was indeed selfish, but he was also selfish and great. He would not lose himself and would not ignore the lives of more people just for the sake of feelings. In a way, Zhao Ziheng paid so much for himself, but on the other hand, he would not sacrifice everything for his own private feelings. He fought for his own love and for the love of more people. Such a dedicated and hardworking person is worthy of any woman's love, right?
"Why? Why?"
Ling Menghan kept murmuring to herself, with countless questions in her mind, but she couldn't find an answer to answer herself.
"Why her?"
After a long time, Ling Menghan recited it indifferently, and suddenly remembered that the eyes of the two people in her memory were surprisingly similar, so Ling Menghan smiled, a very sad and embarrassed smile. Now she realized that it was too late.
"You... knew about this a long time ago, right? From the time she came to Zhao State to the time she was taken to the General's Mansion, he arranged everything, right?"
Ling Menghan looked at Zhao Ziyu and said calmly, in an instant she seemed to see through everything and understood everything, except that she felt extremely sad that she was the only one who knew nothing about it. Although she seemed to be one of the victims, she could not change the fact that she was just an outsider from beginning to end.
"I am always an outsider—"
Ling Menghan cried and turned her eyes to the window. Looking at Ling Menghan's thin silhouette, Zhao Ziyin suddenly felt pity in his heart. Such a lonely figure looked so helpless. Zhao Ziyin always knew that Ling Menghan was very smart. Even if many words were not said, he believed that she knew everything based on those words. Maybe it was cruel to her, right? But it would be better to tell her earlier because she would know it anyway. Was it because he simply didn't want her to be hurt more deeply? Or did he hope to let go early? Zhao Ziyin didn't know what kind of mentality he had when he told her this, or did he think he had to say it? In short, he should know that he had already told her, and she already knew what she wanted to know.
