Yan Xiaoliu's hand was being pulled by Ming Yu. He was a little confused. Weren't they going to the temple fair? Why did she drag him away when they were halfway there?
"Ming Yu, what's wrong?" Yan Xiaoliu asked in a low voice. They had already left the noisy crowd and arrived at a secluded place. They were surrounded by trees and not a single person could be seen.
"Yan Xiaoliu, my heart feels terrible." Ming Yu choked with sobs as she threw herself into Yan Xiaoliu's embrace and cried.
"What happened?" Yan Xiaoliu gently patted Ming Yu's back, feeling very confused. Since Ming Xi had returned, then the emperor and empress should have returned as well. Ming Yu should be happy, why was she so sad?
Ming Yu cried and said, "I saw father and mother, but I hate them. I don't want to see them."
Yan Xiaoliu's hand froze. He thought of how he had hidden the truth from Ming Yu all these years. He hadn't had time to explain it to her, "Don't you want them back? Why wouldn't you want to see them? "
"They don't want me anymore. They abandoned me four years ago … …" Ming Yu cried loudly. Only in front of Yan Xiaoliu could she release her true feelings. She really felt terrible, "They left when they said they would and came back when they said they would. They never thought about my feelings. I don't want them anymore."
Yan Xiaoliu hugged Ming Yu, "Ming Yu, it's not like that."
"They only like big brother and don't like me at all. I'm not as smart as big brother and not as capable as big brother. Big brother has a photographic memory, but I hate studying the most. So they took big brother away, but they never thought about me." Ming Yu sobbed. These were her truest thoughts in the past few years. She always felt inferior and thought that she couldn't compare to her big brother, so she was left behind.
Today, when Ming Xi took her to the sky, she was even more sure of this thought. Ming Xi was much stronger than her. No matter who it was, they would like her big brother more.
Even she liked her big brother.
Yan Xiaoliu held Ming Yu's shoulder and reached out to wipe her tears, "Did you forget? In the past, the emperor and empress loved you the most. You were the pearl in their palms. Wherever you wanted to go, the emperor would take you. No one else dared to go near the emperor. Only you were the closest to the emperor. They didn't abandon you, but … … they had no choice. "
"No choice? Do you also think that they had no choice? "Ming Yu asked while crying.
"Mingyu, I've never told you what happened," Yan Xiaoliu said in a low voice. "Do you remember? When Mingxi and I were about to leave the capital, we agreed to take you with us, but in the end, we left you in the palace. "
Ming Yu nodded. It was at that time that she lost her father, mother, and even her brother.
How could Mingxi and I let you take the risk? At the foot of Cloud Return Mountain, Qiu Hui captured Mingxi. That person … wasn't human at all. He was too powerful. Even if the Sixth Duke and the Emperor joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him. Mingxi was in his hands. Later on, he captured the Empress. They disappeared from the mountain for no reason. No one knew where they went … "
Ming Yu looked at Yan Xiaoliu in a daze. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I didn't dare," Yan Xiaoliu said painfully. "What if Mingxi and the others never came back? Everyone felt that hiding it from you … … was better. "
If she knew the truth, she might have been at Cloud Return Mountain every day for the past four years. It would have been impossible for her to live so happily in the palace.
Ming Yu understood her father's painstaking efforts, but she still felt uncomfortable.
"Don't you want them to come back?" Yan Xiaoliu asked in a low voice.
"I … …" Ming Yu wanted to say that she didn't, but in front of Yan Xiaoliu, she couldn't lie to herself.
Yan Xiaoliu wiped away her tears. "You're afraid that they will leave again, afraid that they will abandon you again, so you don't dare to get close to them, right?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had hit the nail on the head, Ming Yu cried even louder.
"Ming Yu, if you weren't here, the Emperor and the others wouldn't have come back," Yan Xiaoliu said in a low voice. "They came back because of you."
"Really?" Ming Yu's eyes and nose were already red. She really did look like a little rabbit.
Yan Xiaoliu felt a wave of pity in his heart. In reality, he didn't know what Mingxi and the others had experienced, but today, he had personally seen Mingxi beat a dozen people to the point that they didn't even have a chance to fight back. Even Teng Ye wasn't a match for him. Since they had returned safely, it proved that their grudge was no longer a threat. Just by imagining it, he felt that he could imagine how much danger they had experienced in other places.
He believed that they had persevered until today for Ming Yu, to return to where they belonged.
"The Emperor and the Empress left you in order to save Mingxi. Now that they have returned for you, it already proves everything." Yan Xiaoliu nodded with certainty.
Ming Yu's emotions slowly calmed down. "But … … I already said many harsh words to them. I said that I don't have parents, only a father-emperor. I also said that I don't want them to come back."
Yan Xiaoliu laughed lightly, as if he could see the expression of a willful and sad little girl when she deliberately said those words. "Believe me, the Empress and the others will see that you are not saying what you mean."
"I saw Imperial Mother cry." Ming Yu said in a small voice. "She must be very sad."
"That's because the Empress feels sorry for you." Yan Xiaoliu said. "Tell them properly tomorrow."
Ming Yu shook her head. "I'm afraid that I still can't do it."
Yan Xiaoliu held her hand. "Ming Yu, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
"Yan Xiaoliu, you treat me the best." Ming Yu pouted, tears appearing in her eyes again.
"I'll take you to Mingxi first." Yan Xiaoliu said with a smile.
Ming Yu harrumphed. "He only knows how to bring that Wen 'er, even … … even Imperial Mother likes her. Today, I saw Imperial Mother comb that Wen' er's hair. In the past, Imperial Mother only combed my hair."
"Then have you asked Mingxi what kind of person Wen 'er is?" Yan Xiaoliu asked in a low voice. So this little girl already knew how to be jealous.
"I won't ask." Ming Yu harrumphed.
Yan Xiaoliu knew that Ming Yu wasn't a petty and willful person. "Could it be that you don't like that Wen 'er?"
Ming Yu thought about it carefully. She didn't seem to be that annoying. "She's alright. Do you think she's pretty? Do you like her as well? "
"Ming Yu is the most beautiful girl in the world." Yan Xiaoliu said seriously.
"I think the most beautiful person should be Yan Xiaoliu." Ming Yu said with a smile.
"… …" Yan Xiaoliu felt that this wasn't a compliment.
