Chapter 264 - 262. Her Past I (2/2)

stopped visiting me until one day she was found out.   My mother was punished

and was put into a house arrest. Gladly my father didn't kill her because he

felt somewhat wasteful to kill a beauty such as my mother. After I can run and

talk freely, I went to find her on my own. I sneaked out from the main

residence at night and played with her till dawn.   She would wait for me

in front of the dog hole that I use to slip into her residence and her face would

light up like the moon in the middle of the dark sky. She was restrained with

multiple chains because she always tried to break off the chain.   Every night, I would

lean my head on her lap and she would sing me a lullaby song while caressing my

hair. I had always loved her discernible scent, it made me feel safe. She would

keep saying how much she loves me and how much she wanted to take me away from

this horrible place even if it cost her life.   She said that she didn't

hate Huayun's mother as she took care of me like her own daughter and she could

sympathize with her pain of losing one's child after the struggle of having a

child. And the one that she resents the most was my father who brought her into

this mess.   The day before he came,

my mother told me everything about this which made me instantly hate my father

who I used to look up to.” A crystal tear trickled down Meiyun's cheek.   ”He?” Di Shang

asked.   ”En, he is my grim

reaper and also my savior,” Meiyun answered.   Di Shang knitted his

brows as he couldn't fully understand Meiyun's words.   ”He is His Majesty

Emperor,” Meiyun said.   Di Shang's face scrunched

up into an expression full of puzzlement. He thought how could an event that

happened long ago be related to Weisheng, but he said to himself that he

shouldn't make an opinion without hearing the full explanation.   ”I know you are

confused, actually me too. So it went on like this. He came to my father's base

with a large group of skilled soldiers which I assume the elite forces. He annihilated

the whole clan including my mother who was trapped inside the side residence.   Me and Huayun

struggled to escape from the mountain but failed miserably. Huayun collapsed

from inhaling too much smoke and I who was also on the verge of collapsing was

struck by a horse.   At that moment, I felt

like I was going to die. But there was someone revived me with his power and

with this power, I can live such a long life with this damaged body hahaha~ Not

long ago, I found out it was His Majesty Emperor who saved me and I requested

him for more power as I felt my body deteriorated over time and I couldn't

protect Her Majesty Empress with this weak body.   Therefore, he gave

me some of his power and he said I could use this power to open a portal for

him in an urgent moment. That's why you probably noticed the powerful wave of

dark power that came from here because I opened the portal by using his and

our son's power.” Meiyun explained calmly.   Di Shang actually didn't

bother too much about the detail but when he heard that Meiyun's body was

deteriorating, his body moved as fast as the wind.   ”Why do you say your

body is deteriorating?! What happened?!” Di Shang inquired with a visible concern

on his face   ”Even if you asked

me, I don't know how to explain it to you. I occasionally got a nosebleed and I would

feel really light-headed as if I am going to pass out at any moment.” Meiyun

described what she had been through.   ”Have you ever told

anyone about this? Did you get any medical treatment for this?!” Di Shang

became more and more desperate.   ”N-no…I have to be

by Her Majesty Empress's side every second so I can't afford to do that and no

one found out that I suffered these things.” Meiyun said timidly because she

was kind of scared by Di Shang's deep voice.   Di Shang exhaled in

distress as he couldn't believe that Meiyun hid such a big thing from everyone

else.   ”I don't care what

you are going to say. We are going home, getting you treated. You MUST NOT do

any heavy labor, you MUST NOT drink any alcohol, you have to wear two layers of

coat whenever you go out. Look! Your fingers are so cold! If you don't take

care of yourself, who would?!” Di Shang lectured.   ”You will,” Meiyun

smiled.   ”Of course I will!

If it is not me then who?! Quit with the talking, take a rest, I will wake you

up when we arrive.” Di Shang sighed.   ”En,” Meiyun closed her

eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep in Di Shang's warm embrace.
