Ye Qingxue was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and she couldn't react for a long time. She looked at the baby in her arms and then at Dongbai, who had been protecting her.
Dongbai was also stunned and shocked, but she was not her mother, so she could still react. She said, "Crown Princess, this is the eldest grandson of the Emperor. The eldest grandson of the Emperor came to find us on his own initiative, and he has even learned to speak!"
Dong Bai was so excited that her whole body trembled slightly. Not only her, but everyone who followed Ye Qingxue into the cave couldn't help but wipe away tears.
It's been so difficult. Over the years, they've watched Ye Qingxue take care of and teach that mentally challenged little prince. It's been incredibly tough for them.
Who could have imagined that one day, the young imperial grandson would be able to speak again? And recognize his mother!
Seeing everyone's reactions, Ye Qingxue finally came to her senses. She raised her hands tremblingly and placed them on Xiao Bao's head, patting his head and then on his shoulders, stroking his thin and tender shoulders. She slowly squatted down in front of Xiao Bao and cupped his face in her hands.
Xiao Bao was already in tears, tears streaming down his dirty face, leaving streaks that looked quite comical. But Ye Qingxue couldn't laugh; she simply took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
Ye Qingxue moved very gently, as if handling a fragile object, afraid that the child in front of her would shatter and turn into smoke if she was not careful.
Using the tears on the child's face, the stains could be wiped away quite a bit, and in no time, Xiao Bao's delicate and beautiful face was revealed.
When he left, he was still fair-skinned and chubby, but in just a few days, his cheeks became much thinner, and it felt like he had almost no flesh left.
Ye Qingxue touched his face, from his cheeks to his mouth, to his eyebrows and eyes, to his forehead, and felt the warmth of his body. This was undoubtedly her child. Her child was still alive and standing safely in front of her.
"Mommy, does your face still hurt?" Xiao Bao's hand suddenly landed on her cheek.
Ye Qingxue was stunned. Years ago, because of a problem with food, Xiao Bao had scratched her face and left a deep wound that bled immediately. It took a long time for the wound to disappear.
Now that her skin is completely smooth and flawless, how can Xiao Bao still remember? He even cares whether she's in pain or not?
Ye Qingxue was speechless and could only shake her head.
Xiao Bao grabbed her hand again and examined her wrist. There was a small scar on it, which he had also bitten.
"Does it hurt here?" Xiao Bao asked again, his clear eyes filled with heartache for Ye Qingxue.
He still remembered, he actually remembered everything! Ye Qingxue finally opened her mouth and said "no," tears welling up in her eyes. She opened her arms and hugged Xiaobao tightly!
"I'm not in pain, Mother isn't in pain at all. As long as you come back, Mother won't be in pain at all!" Ye Qingxue said, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
Every word came from her heart. Yes, no matter how difficult the past was, as long as the final result was good, she felt no pain, not at all!
It turned out that Mo Yuan hadn't lied to her; her little treasure really would come back, but not in the way she had imagined—that bringing him life would be enough for him to return.
"Going with the flow" doesn't mean ignoring bad things and letting them get worse. It means making every effort to find and solve the problem, and leaving the rest to fate.
Holding Xiao Bao's tiny body, Ye Qingxue cried her heart out. Everything around her seemed to have completely disappeared. At this moment, there was only her and Xiao Bao in the world, just the two of them, mother and son.
Xiao Bao wrapped his arms around her neck and started crying too.
For the past three years, he has never cried because of relationships. He only cries when his demands are not met or when he is feeling unwell.
"Mommy, you're in pain," Xiao Bao said in a muffled voice. "I remember you often secretly shed tears..."
She was in pain, but she just didn't say it.
She was in pain because his mental retardation was a wound that had never healed, bleeding every day.
She was in pain, but she was convinced he was her child, and no matter what he was like, she was responsible for him to the end. How could she complain about the pain? What good would it do to say so?
"But I'm back. I'll love my mother well from now on, and I won't make her cry again," Xiao Bao said, his voice tender but his tone earnest.
Ye Qingxue's tears fell like beads from a broken string. Xiao Bao reached out to wipe them away, but couldn't wipe them all away. Ye Qingxue closed her eyes and held the child's small hand in her palm.
Yes, she's in pain, her heart is full of scars, but as long as he comes back, her scars will heal.
"What a touching display of motherly love!" Ji Mingwei's chilling voice rang out. "Unfortunately, today is your death day!"
