Chapter 2208: The Past Life 133

“Are you sure it is only a painting?”

The Ninth Emperor walked toward Mu Yi with a smile. Her smile was a little cold, sending a chill down people’s spine.

Mu Yi panicked even more. He tried to calm the panic inside, but his face was still pale.

‘Impossible. Little Nine can’t know about that...’

“Back then, my mother was pregnant with me and was seriously injured and lost her memory. You took her just because you saw her beauty.”

Mu Yi’s eyes filled up with panic as he clenched his fists harder, and his heart trembled more.

“Little Nine, I don’t know what you are talking about. You are my daughter, no doubt. You can’t say these just because you don’t want to save Qingya...”

His gaze was filled with grief and also some disappointment as if Little Nine did not want to save Mu Qingya before dissociating herself from him.

But...

Little Nine was the only hope. He wanted to hold on to her tightly, and it was impossible to let her go.

“My mother remembered everything after seeing that painting. And after my mother recovered her memory, she left this place. You know that I am not your daughter, too, so back then...”

Back then, Mu Yi was not very kind to her, but she was still grateful to Mu Yi for giving her a year of warmth. Before, she did not know that she and Mu Yi did not have a father-daughter relationship, but she still did not intend to disturb him.

Not bothering him was the best thing to give in return to him.

It was just that Mu Yi had been bugging her, making her annoyed, and what Mu Qingya did was all her own doing.

No one could blame her.

Mu Yi kneeled on the ground. His blood flowed, and he felt a burst of pain on the forehead.

However, the pain in his forehead could not be compared to the coldness in his heart.

The crowd was shocked.

‘Little Nine is not Mu Yi’s daughter?

‘However, even if she is not Mu Yi’s daughter, Mu Yi took care of her for so many years. Considering how he is her adoptive father, how could she make things so difficult for him...’

They were very ignorant and did not understand Little Nine.

“Moreover...” The Ninth Emperor lowered her head and smirked. Her eyes were cold. “Even if I let her go, the others will not let her go. Instead of pleading for her here, you should go and pick a better grave for her.”

Mu Yi’s body trembled, and he closed his eyes in despair...

Yes, Little Nine was not his daughter.

This had been known to him for a long time, but he had long treated her as his daughter. So many years of father-daughter love between them, and even his care for her was all real.

Even if Little Nine had returned, he would still feel guilty. Initially, this guilt should not exist because he had sincerely treated Little Nine as his daughter...

“Little Nine, I have taken care of you for so many years, so can you please forgive Qingya?” Mu Yi raised his head, and his voice carried a deep pain.

Dongfang Yu on the side was a little dumbfounded. She blinked as her eyes were filled with dismay.

She had never thought that Mu Yi was not the Ninth Emperor’s father.

In this way, many things would make sense...

It was expected for Mu Yi to love Mu Qingya so much, and he would not give up Mu Qingya for the Ninth Emperor’s sake.
