Chapter 261: Killing the Heart is the Best Policy

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"You haven't had any water today. Do you want to eat something?"

Xu Manjin led the maid in, placed the food box on the table, and took out a bowl of sweet soup and a pile of snacks.

Lian Jinchen came to his senses in a daze and looked at Xu Manjin.

"Do you want to leave?" Lian Jinchen suddenly asked.

Xu Manjin was stunned for a moment and asked softly, "What does your highness mean?"

Lian Jinchen lowered his eyes.

He didn't like Ning Fengxu before.

Without him, Ning Fengxu had a perverse personality and had nothing to compare with him, but he could clearly see his love for Qi Wan.

Qi Wan was much more familiar with Ning Fengxu than him.

He didn't want to think too much about it then.

It's because I don't care.

Later he realized that he didn't like Ning Fengxu because Ning Fengxu was interested in Qi Wan, and he didn't like Qi Wan because he couldn't feel the love between man and woman in Qi Wan.

Qi Wan is a good wife, but her heartbeat is too shallow.

All the kindness she treats him is just because he is pretty good and is her fiancé, nothing more.

It's not that I admire him.

He originally thought that he and Qi Mingyue were in love.

But now it turns out that this is just a ridiculous calculation.

He is just a pawn used by Qi Mingyue, a knife to help Qi Mingyue realize her ambitions and ambitions.

This knife also obediently helped her eliminate her major troubles.

He even had a "deep love" for her.

How stupid.

Qing Hui had never liked him. Her various teasing and testing of him in the past were just for Qi Wan's revenge.

Killing the heart is the best policy.

He had failed Qi Wan, and Qing Hui had lured him into the trap step by step, provoking his relationship with Qi Mingyue and making him see how fragile and ridiculous the relationship between him and Qi Mingyue was.

However, Xu Manjin, who was brought into the palace by him, was plotted by Qi Mingyue and became his concubine in order to protect Mingzhe.

No one truly loves him.

He has been smart since he was a child, has had a smooth journey, and has always been confident.

But in the end, he was so conceited that his desire to conquer the world was never realized, but he was tricked by several women along the way.

"Hahaha~"

Lian Jinchen suddenly raised his head and laughed.

Xu Manjin's eyelids twitched.

She waved the maid behind her to exit and stood with her head bowed respectfully.

When Lian Jinchen had laughed enough, the madness on his face had disappeared, and he regained his composure. He looked at Xu Manjin and said, "You are an innocent sufferer, as in my palace, and I know that what you seek is not love. If my position as king remains, , maybe I can give you a future. But now, my future is unclear, so there is no need to continue to implicate you."

"I will give you two choices. One is that I will let you go home and let the matter of the side concubine be over. You can go find the eldest princess of Xiangyang and she will take care of the matter for you."

"The second is that you continue to stay in the house. I am about to go on an expedition. I may not be able to return. No matter who succeeds to the throne, my cousins ​​will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"You choose."

Xu Manjin didn't expect that Lian Jinchen would say such things to her.

Ever since she discovered Qi Mingyue's weird tricks, she had been so scared these days that she couldn't sleep peacefully even a day.

Now it is probably impossible for Qi Mingyue to come back.

Prince Chen's Mansion is relatively safe.

If she returns home at this time, she doesn't know how many rumors she will face.

It's better to stay here and wait until King Chen is really dead before making plans.

So Xu Manjin said decisively,

"I thank Your Highness for your mercy. I am willing to stay at your residence."
