In the back garden.
“Are you really my father?”
Su Changyu was a little confused and looked at Old Xia in a bid to find out what was going on.
There were not many memories in his mind and some of the scenes were memories that existed in his subconscious mind.
However, through these memories, he knew that he had indeed gotten the wrong idea.
He seemed to have also misunderstood the fact that he was an illegitimate son, that his father had abandoned him and his mother for the sake of pursuing a life of glory and wealth.
“Changyu, I’m your real father.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said while looking at Su Changyu with his eyes full of nervousness.
He no longer called Su Changyu ‘little friend’ and simply addressed him by his name to make it seem more affectionate.
However, Su Changyu simply asked with an indifferent expression, “What exactly is going on?”
Even though Su Changyu’s heart was full of complicated emotions and doubts, he instinctively appeared extremely indifferent.
It was as if acknowledging his father and finding out all about his identity was too insignificant for him to feel any emotion.
Hearing Su Changyu’s indifferent tone, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty fell silent. He was a little flustered.
He had been unwilling to bring up the past regarding this matter.
However, now that Su Changyu asked, he naturally could not hide it.
“Are you aware of the fact that the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty went missing 27 years ago?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice was calm.
Su Changyu nodded slightly with a calm expression.
He actually didn’t know about the matter regarding the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he felt that it would be embarrassing to say that he didn’t know at this juncture.
However, after hearing Old Xia’s words, he wondered if his identity was related to the Tenth Prince.
“I’m the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and you’re my tenth son. You’re the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty who went missing.”
“As for the whereabouts of your mother… Someone put a curse on your mother when she was pregnant with you, which caused her to die once she gave birth to you.”
“So, your mother died the moment after she saw that you were born safely.”
“She told me to take good care of you and raise you well.”
“However, only one day later, a supreme expert of the Mahayana realm, who had been lurking in the palace, took the opportunity to take you away.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke slowly, his voice full of melancholy.
He had been unwilling to recall that portion of his past, and whenever he did, he would feel an ache in his heart.
In a short time, his son was born, but the woman he loved the most had left him. He showered his son with all the love he had to offer and yet, his son was snatched away.
“Changyu, I’ve been sending people to search for you for a total of 27 years, but you were nowhere to be found.”
“Finally, I met you when I was in Chen Nation with Xuanji.”
“The first time I saw you, I felt that you were my son.”
“However, I didn’t dare to acknowledge you because of some reasons.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to speak.
He didn’t bother explaining why he did not reunite with Su Changyu at that time.
He knew that Su Changyu was his son but the fact that he had been stranded out there in the world of commoners for 27 years made him too scared to reunite with Su Changyu.
He was afraid that the sudden acknowledgment would make Su Changyu find it hard to accept and unable to accept his father.
As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was so afraid that he didn’t dare to acknowledge him.
In an instant, Su Changyu froze in shock.
Previously, he had always thought his father was Taishang Xuanji, who had abandoned him and his mother because of his pursuit for glory and riches. Hence, he thought of severing ties with him.
Even if Taishang Xuanji was replaced by Old Xia, it would be the same.
However, he did not expect that he was not an illegitimate son, but the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
His father wasn’t a greedy person either. He didn’t abandon him and his mother, but rather, his mother died after giving birth to him.
He couldn’t quite accept that information for a while.
At the same time, he thought of what happened when he was in the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as why the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and Empress Chu Rouyun treated him so nicely.
At that time, Su Changyu thought it was because he was handsome, but now, he understood.
It was because of his identity.
At that time, Chu Rouyun recognized him, so she asked him to address her as his aunt.
He addressed the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty as his uncle too.
However, neither of them told him anything about his identity.
Ye Ping, who was standing at the side, was a little dumbfounded too.
He did not expect that his Eldest Senior Brother was the legendary Tenth Prince.
Compared to Su Changyu, he had at least gone out around and heard many rumors about the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
‘The prince has been by my side all this while?’
Looking at the silent Su Changyu, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was extremely nervous.
“Changyu, I let you and your mother down. I’m so sorry to have let you suffer all these years.”
“What I owe you, I will make up for it. I will agree to all your requests and give you whatever you want.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to speak, his tone and gaze full of nervousness.
He didn’t know how to face Su Changyu and he promised to agree to Su Changyu’s requests because he hoped that Su Changyu would accept him.
Su Changyu remained silent with an indifferent expression.
His heart was in turmoil and the information was hard for him to accept and digest.
When Daoist Tai Hua told him previously that he might have been an intermediate, Su Changyu felt upset for a long time.
However, after all that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had told him, he couldn’t accept it at all.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Su Changyu in a bid to continue speaking but to no avail.
As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn’t know what to do in this situation.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
After a moment of silence, Ye Ping spoke up, “Eldest Senior Brother, why don’t we stay here for a while until you have calmed down?”
Ye Ping suggested.
He knew that Su Changyu must be feeling complicated emotions now.
After all, anyone would be dumbstruck in such a situation.
“Yes, yes. Changyu, why don’t you calm down first?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hurriedly said after hearing those words.
He felt that he was being a little anxious because he couldn’t be impatient in such a situation.
If he was flustered too, there was no way Su Changyu could accept that matter.
Su Changyu nodded and assented indifferently.
He needed some time to digest this information.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately arranged for someone to take Su Changyu and Ye Ping to the palace to rest.
After Su Changyu and Ye Ping got into the carriage, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked Taishang Xuanji about it.
“Xuanji, what do you think, will Changyu accept me?”
His tone was a little somber, and deep down, he was really anxious and ill at ease.
“I believe that Little Friend Changyu will definitely accept you.”
Taishang Xuanji lowered his head and said so.
In this situation, there was nothing else he could say. He could only say what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to hear.
Looking at Taishang Xuanji’s appearance, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty obviously knew what he meant, but he merely smiled bitterly.
Taishang Xuanji’s residence was near the palace, so Su Changyu and Ye Ping soon arrived at the palace and had their accommodation arranged.
“Lords, if you have any orders, feel free to call me.”
The eunuch who brought them here said respectfully.
He was the eunuch who served the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty at all times. Previously, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty instructed him to serve Su Changyu and Ye Ping well, and to fulfill all their requests. If there was anything that could not be fulfilled, he would have to report to the emperor.
Since he could become the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s personal bodyguard, he was naturally good at observing the situation. It was the first time he had seen the emperor being so solemn, so he was naturally very respectful.
“Thank you.”
Ye Ping nodded.
“Senior Brother Changyu, are you alright?”
Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu’s expression and said with concern.
Although Su Changyu’s expression was usually indifferent just like now, Ye Ping could tell that there were subtle changes after having interacted with Su Changyu for such a long time.
Ever since he joined the Qingyun Dao Sect, Su Changyu had been very nice and caring towards him. Su Changyu devoted his heart and soul to teaching Ye Ping, so he was very concerned now.
“Ye Ping, I’m fine, I just can’t accept this fact for a while. I will be okay after some time.”
Su Changyu shook his head and said.
Previously, he thought that his father had abandoned him and his mother, so he was there to make a closure. He had come mentally prepared.
However, he didn’t expect it to be completely different from what he originally imagined.
“Okay, Senior Brother, rest well. No matter what choice you make, I will always support you.”
Ye Ping nodded and said.
Su Changyu’s heart was filled with a warm and fuzzy feeling as he nodded.
Ye Ping did not bother Su Changyu and simply went to his room to rest.
He stayed in the room.
He suddenly thought of someone, and that was Xia Qingmo, the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The last time they parted, he said that he would go to the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty to look for her, but now that he was there and he had nothing to do, he would naturally go see her.
Ye Ping immediately walked out of the palace and asked the eunuch waiting outside where Xia Qingmo was.
“Your Excellency, Her Highness resides in Green Phoenix Hall.”
When the eunuch saw Ye Ping, he immediately informed Ye Ping where Xia Qingmo was and even took the initiative to find someone to take Ye Ping there.
If it was an ordinary person, he definitely wouldn’t be allowed to wander around the palace on his own.
Not to mention, he was a man who was going to see the princess.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had personally instructed the eunuch to serve Su Changyu and Ye Ping well and to agree to any request they made.
“Thank you.”
Ye Ping nodded.
A guard walked over and brought Ye Ping to the Green Phoenix Hall.
There were array formation restrictions that prohibited flying in the palace. Ye Ping’s place of accommodation was a little far from Xia Qingmo’s residence, so he spent about half an hour walking there.
Upon arriving at Green Phoenix Hall, someone immediately went to inform her.
“Princess Qingmo, it’s been long since we last met.”
Ye Ping looked at Xia Qingmo, who came out, with a gentle smile on his face.
“What brings you here, Senior Brother Ye Ping?”
Xia Qingmo walked out of the hall and seemed overjoyed to see Ye Ping. She was surprised too.
When she heard the maid’s report, she was in disbelief.
“I’m here at the palace because Senior Brother Changyu has some things to handle.”
Ye Ping said.
“Senior Brother Changyu? What happened to him?”
Xia Qingmo was a little curious.
“Just some personal matters. How have you been lately?”
Ye Ping shook his head without answering her question.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was Su Changyu’s father, which meant that Xia Qingmo was Su Changyu’s younger sister. However, since Su Changyu had yet to make a decision, Ye Ping naturally wouldn’t tell others about it.
