1735 He Must Have Fallen Into Complete Despair

The look on Chu Qis face softened when he saw the girl falling silent. His tone became gentle. Jier, I know you cant just forget what you found out about how your father treated you when you were born. I was just as shocked as you were when I found out. If even I could not accept it, it must be much worse for youthe victim.

However, no one wanted that to happen. Your parents have been living in guilt for many yearsthey dote on your more than your other siblings because of this. You cant just wipe away all their love for you just because of that incident and put yourself down like that.

Jier lowered her head and said nothing.

Chu Qi could not bear to berate her any longer when he saw her looking like that. He hugged her for quite a while before he said, His Majesty was wrong for what happened back then, but it must not have been on purpose. Your mother suddenly stopped breathing and he must have fallen into complete despair. If he had eventually killed you, Im sure he would have taken his own life in the end as well.

I dont remember what happened, so I cant tell you exactly what the situation was like, but even a ferocious tiger would not hurt its cub. How could someone like His Majesty willingly kill his own child? I heard that His Majesty fell into a state of madness that day and had lost his mind completely. If your mother didnt wake up, it wouldnt have been just youeveryone else present would have been killed on the spot. Your father would not have chosen to come out of it alive either.

Jiers face was covered in tears at this point.

Chu Qi lifted her face gently and it pained him to see her face covered in tears. He used his sleeve to wipe away the tears and his deep, dark eyes stared into hers. His voice softened. Jier, you did nothing wrong. There is no need to put yourself down and torture yourself like that. I never want to hear you saying those things again. Youre not allowed to think of yourself like that, understand?

Jier looked at him blankly.

Lil Qi had never been a man of many words, but he had just told her so much.

She knew the effort that he had put into this.

She suddenly felt that she had made a big mistake.

Her stubbornness had caused a huge commotion with everyone going out to find her. They were all worried for her.

She should not have done this at all.

Jier buried her face into Chu Qis chest and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, I understand.

Thats good. Chu Qi finally felt relieved as he patted her back. He said softly, Hurry up and get some rest. We still need to rush out tomorrow after youre rested and head back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Your mother and siblings are looking forward to having you home.

Alright. Jier nodded. After listening to him, the thorn in her heart did not seem as painful as before. She hesitated before asking, Would everyone else blame me for this?

What would they be blaming you for? Chu Qi asked.

They would blame me for being stubborn, being so selfish, and not considering the thoughts of others

That wont happen. Everyone is worried for you and they will all be happy to see you come home. Chu Qi comforted her and rubbed her head. He continued, That said, Jier, youre not allowed to do something like this next time. Promise me that youll never do this again. Itll just make me worried and hurt your parents. You shouldnt make the people who love you feel so sad and anxious.

Jier nodded as she looked into his gentle eyes. Alright. She bit her lip as she spoke and said with slight hesitation, But Father, he I still dont think Ill be able to face him.

Thats fine. Take it slow. No one is forcing you to forgive your father immediatelyyour father feels the same way. All he hopes is that you wont hurt yourself. He was willing to travel through the darkness because of this. He even refused to linger in case you would feel sad and hurt. Chu Qi consoled her.

Jier felt a tinge of regret when she heard this. Father, he

Theres no need to worry about that nownothing will change by doing that. Hurry up and get some sleep. Nothing will happen to your father. If youre still worried, we can leave earlier tomorrow and perhaps we can catch up to him sooner, Chu Qi said.
