"I know I shouldn't act like this, but I can't control the feeling of aversion in my heart," Ji'er mumbled. Then she suddenly pushed him away to sit up and said agitatedly, "Lil Qi, they said if it weren't for you, I would have died the mont I was born. I know that you would never harm because you saved my life and I particularly liked being close to you when I was young. Father tried to throw to my death, which is why I find him revolting deep down and don't like being close to . I was barely a child then. I knew nothing and rember nothing, but things I liked or hated were imprinted deep inside ."
"Don't talk about it anymore, Ji'er. Let's forget about it." Chu Qi got up and hugged her tight in his arms while frowning. "That's not how it works. You can't doubt yourself just because you heard so words from others. Otherwise, you'll easily fall for their traps."
Ji'er shook her head. "Even though those two won said those things in order to sow discord between Father and , I believe they were saying the truth. Everyone else in the Palace seems to avoid any topic that involves my younger days and rarely ntions what happened on the day I was born. I noticed sothing was wrong long ago. Now that I think about this, Father must have given the order for them not to talk about what happened back then."
At this point, her little face looked troubled and her eyes lowered as she said in a low voice, "I realize now that my birth had not been welcod. They were right. Even though I was born of nobility, my existence was not accepted. My father was even cruel enough to try and fling to my death. He wanted dead. If you hadn't saved in ti, I would have died with my head cracked open."
"Ji'er, stop talking about this. I forbid you from talking about this anymore, do you hear ?" Chu Qi pressed her head into his arms. He did not want her to talk about such terrible things any longer.
Ji'er leaned into his arms, her face covered in tears.
No one would be able to accept the truth of how they were almost killed by their father the day they were born.
She closed her eyes and clenched the front of Chu Qi's shirt as she whispered, "Lil Qi, did you really forget about what happened during that ti?"
Chu Qi's chest tightened. He pushed up her face and his chest hurt trendously at the sight of her little face being covered in tears.
He raised his sleeve and gently wiped away her tears. His tone softened. "Ji'er, do you think I'm pretending to lose my mory?"I think you should take a look at
Ji'er stared intently at him. "Did you really forget everything? Or did you refuse to think about Father's cruelty, so you lied about your mory loss?" She rembered that Lil Qi was also considered her father's son. Long Yang had brought up Lil Qi and he had looked up to him as a father.
Chu Qi shook his head with a frown. "It's not like that. I truly don't rember anything." Zhao Qian and Chu Yi were the ones who told him everything about what happened before he lost his mory. He did not rember a thing by himself.
However, he could not deny the fact that he felt a closeness to His Majesty every ti he t the Emperor.
Ji'er leaned into his arms. "But you were the one who kept coming to my rescue, Lil Qi. You were the one who gave back my life.
Chu Qi's heart ached for her. He patted her gently on the back.
He could not rember what happened when Ji'er was born and Zhao Qian and the others had never ntioned it to him.
However, Ji'er had always been in his mories.
Back then, he and Ji'er had lived below the cliff for quite a while. His Majesty was the one who had eventually found them and brought them back to the Palace.
