Not only Xu Yan, but Yingchun and others who had been waiting outside were crying. Yingchun bit her lower lip and tried not to let the whimper come out. She had known that Yin Hong would choose this path, so she never dared to tell him the news of Xu Qing's death. But unexpectedly, she finally let him know the news.

The four palace maids stood outside and listened silently to the heart-wrenching cry of Dong** Xu Yan, and they couldn't bear it. They raised their heads and tried to maintain the most standard etiquette. They could not mess up, there were two masters they had been guarding. Even at the last moment, they could not embarrass their masters.

The wind was noisy, heralding the arrival of a storm. At the end of the valley, a figure walked straight towards them, extremely firm.

Xu Yan felt Yin Hong's body gradually cool down in her arms, and tears blurred the world in front of her. The world was dark at this moment. She could not see the road under her feet, nor could she see the road in the future. What exactly had she insisted on for so many years? What had she done wrong? Why did the people she cared about left her one by one, and why hadn't anyone ever thought about it for her?

Just when she was completely lost, a pair of warm hands suddenly fell on her shoulders. She looked up and saw Yun Qi's worried eyes. Xu Yan couldn't tell whether this was a dream or a reality for a moment. Her tears fell to the ground and splashed small splashes.

Yunqi had never seen her look so sad, and he felt even more guilty. Did she spend every day in such a painful way in the six years he had never participated? He wrapped her waist, put her head on his shoulder, and whispered to her: "Don't cry, it's all my fault, it's me that I'm late."

Yun Qi had known that Yin Hong had learned about Xu Qing's death. He wanted to come over and take a look immediately, but he was stuck by the spy who suddenly came to report the news. He was only one step late. He didn't expect Xu Yan to have such a deep affection for Yin Hong. If he had known that she would be so sad in the morning, he would have come over and take a look no matter what.

Xu Yan gradually calmed down when she smelled the familiar cold fragrance on Yunqiu. She sobbed in a low voice and said, "What are you here to do?"

Yun Qi replied softly: "If I don't come, wouldn't you sit here until you fainted from crying?"

Xu Yan pushed Yun Qi hard, but was imprisoned by him. Somehow, the emotions that had been accumulated over the years burst out at this moment. She cried even louder and whimpered: "Since you have the ability to hide from me, why are you here to do now? One or two of you think I am a burden and you think I am easy to bully me, right? You can leave whenever you want, and come whenever you want. What do you think of me?!"

Yunqi listened to the questioning of the girl in her arms, and felt that his heart was also hurting with every word she said. He gently wiped away the tears that Xu Yan had hanging on his eyelashes, and coaxed her in an extremely gentle tone, "It's all my fault. Can I admit my mistake to you? I admit my punishment or cure me, but don't ignore me, don't be sad, okay?"

Xu Yan shook her head desperately, and her eyes swollen red and said to Yun Qi: "No, no. You don't know what I did, you don't know anything at all! It's all my fault, I actually... I actually killed my father with my own hands!"

Yunqi didn't know that things would actually develop to this point. He felt even more heartbroken when he looked at the girl who had almost lost her mind in his arms. He calmed down his voice and put his hand on Xu Yan's shoulder to give her strength: "No, you helped your father. You didn't kill him, but let him be free and let him go to a better place. He no longer has to face the ugliness of this world, and everything that makes him suffer."

Xu Yan heard his words and felt sad, but she still couldn't help sobbing, "What about you? My father had no choice to commit suicide by leveraging my hand. But what about you, you have been walking on your own for six years, without a word of explanation. Even now you say things that don't make me sad, but how can I not be sad? How can I not be sad when I meet you? Why are you so domineering..."

Yun Qi was so amused and laughed when he heard this. He had never had any experience in coaxing women. Now that he heard Xu Yan's accusation, he truly understood what the ancients meant by the saying "What's the point of "I want to add a crime to you?"

He sighed, rubbed Xu Yan's hair gently and said, "Then what do you think of me? I will do whatever I do, do you?"

Xu Yan may have been sobbing from time to time because she had cried for a long time. She said in a muffled voice: "I want to listen to you tell your story for the past six years, and I want you..."

Yunqi heard Xu Yan's sudden stagnation and asked patiently: "What else do you want me to do?"

Xu Yan pinched the soft flesh on his waist. After hearing his "hiss" as he wished, he said slowly: "You also want to listen to me in the future. You are not allowed to act on your own, nor do you disappear without saying hello!"

Yunqi was afraid that she would think of something else, and even more afraid that she would recall the painful past again. She agreed repeatedly: "Okay, I will listen to you in everything, Lord Empress."

After Yunqi's comfort, Xu Yan finally calmed down her thoughts. She couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about her just now. If Yunqi hadn't come in time, she wouldn't be sure of any crazy actions she would have done. Fortunately, he was by her side.

However, as soon as she thought that she was crying so ugly in his arms just now, she couldn't help blushing. She really couldn't show that weak look in front of him under any circumstances!

She was about to revive her style and showed her empress's demeanor to let him see that she was no longer the little girl who had no ability back then, but when she looked up and saw his doting gaze, she couldn't help but lower her head again. Forget it, don't worry about this matter, there is more time to prove it to him in the future.

Xu Yan's gaze turned back to Yin Hong, and the emotions that had just calmed down couldn't help but surge. Yun Qi looked at her appearance and couldn't help but speak to her: "I'll take care of these things. You go down and ask Yingchun and the others to take care of you more."

Xu Yan shook his head firmly, then went outside the cave to find Yingchun and the others. After a while, Yunqi saw Xu Yan walking in with a white cloth.

She is now noble and magnificent. She may not have realized that every step she takes has the unique aura of the empress, which makes people unable to help but bow down at her feet. Her brilliance is enough to illuminate the entire dark cave. She is the pearl in this cave and his sweetheart.

Xu Yan walked steadily to Yin Hong's side and squatted down slowly. Then she spread the white cloth in her hand and gently covered his body. She watched the white cloth cover his body little by little until the last trace of eyebrows disappeared. She still couldn't help but turn red eyes.

In any case, he was still her father. He was one of the few people in her long childhood who had given her warmth. She always cherished this love. This love once supported her through so many dark years, and even if the ending was not happy, she would not complain.
