Chapter 2239: The Past Life 164

“Alright.”
Dongfang Yu was somewhat hesitant, but she did not say anything.
After all, this was the Ninth Emperor’s order, so she would never decline.
Only when she thought of going to bury Mu Yi on her own was she full of reluctance. She pouted, looking somewhat unwilling.
The Ninth Emperor slowly got up, smiled, and looked at Dongfang Yu. “After that, go and prepare our things. We are leaving in a few days.”
Dongfang Yu froze for a moment and looked at the Ninth Emperor blankly. “Ninth Emperor, have you found out about the whereabouts of your mother?”
The Ninth Emperor lowered her gaze. She had only talked to Nan Changfeng about this matter before and did not tell Dongfang Yu.
Now it was expected that Dongfang Yu did not know.
Therefore, she was silent for a while and shook her head. “No need to look for the time being.”
‘No need to look for the time being?’
Dongfang Yu froze. “No need to look for the time being? But why?”
“She told me herself…” The Ninth Emperor raised her gaze and smiled bitterly. “She told me not to look for her. Even if we continue to look, there is no way to find her. So it is better to give up.”
Indeed, since this was what she said herself, it was useless even if she continued to look for her.
She was not bound to meet her.
Perhaps the day she gave up, her mother would appear and return to her again.
Dongfang Yu pursed her lips and did not say more.
She felt that the Ninth Emperor was very sad at the moment. She could feel it.
Could it be that the Ninth Emperor’s mother no longer existed in this world? Otherwise, with the Ninth Emperor’s character, how could it be possible to give up?
Dongfang Yu’s heart ached.
To them, the Ninth Emperor was not only a life-saving person, but she also took them in, gave them a home, and was also the most important person in their lives.
Now, knowing that the Ninth Emperor’s heart was in pain, she could not help but feel bad.
“Bury Mu Yi first. Later, I will ask Tian Xuan to pack the clothes. It’s time to leave. I guess the girls have also returned to Cloud Mountain.”
It had been a while since she went out, and she missed Cloud Mountain.
In the past, she never wanted to return to Cloud Mountain as much as she did now.
Perhaps every time she came out, she was hopeful and always thought she could find her mother if she looked for her.
Now, she knew she had no way to keep looking and wanted to return home, not wanting to stay out anymore.
“Alright…”
Dongfang Yu wanted to comfort the Ninth Emperor, but seeing the calmness that the Ninth Emperor deliberately showed, she finally did not say much.
The Ninth Emperor had always been self-reliant, and she did not need anyone’s comfort.
Comfort, to her, was just humiliation.
Therefore, Dongfang Yu turned and walked out.
After she left, Nan Changfeng took out a cloak and draped it over the Ninth Emperor’s shoulders to shield her from the cool autumn breeze.
His hand tightly encircled Ninth Emperor’s body from behind, and his chin gently rested on top of her head.
“If you want to keep looking, I can help you find her wherever she is.”
He could not bear to see her looking like this.
Even if her face did not show anything, he could feel the hurt in her heart.
She tried to hide her weakness so that she could act so calmly and indifferently after giving up on searching for her mother.
