Chapter 41 Actually, you have a younger sister

At the same time, in the Imperial City of Great Qin.

In the depths of the Imperial City, a figure walked on a path paved with bluestone. She had an outstanding figure, curvy figure, icy figure, fairy-like appearance, and a cold face.

The woman walked slowly with a bowl of steaming hot, medicinal smell.

After a while, she came to a small courtyard.

She stretched out her hand to push open the door and stepped into it.

"Father, I'm here to see you."

"Ahem... Yanran? Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll talk to you."

The woman was the Empress of Great Qin, Qin Yanran.

"Yanran, you just need to practice well, and let Lao Zhang come to deliver the medicine."

"Father, are you feeling better?"

Qin Yanran looked at the man in front of her with a trace of worry in her eyes.

He was pale and lying on the bed. He was obviously middle-aged, but now he looked like an old man with white hair.

This man was Qin Shanhe.

He opened his pale lips and said, "The effect of the medicine is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid that my father's time is running out."

"Yanran, have you found out about that matter?"

"No, they hid it too deeply."

"Yanran, are you still in the early stage of the Venerable now?"

"Yes, my potential is overdrawn and I can't make any progress. However, they haven't taken any action yet."

The father and daughter talked in a low voice, even if there was a soundproof magic circle here.

"Father, drink this bowl of medicine first."

"Okay."

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Shanhe sat up slowly, raised his swaying hand, took the bowl, and slowly swallowed the medicine.

"Alas, Yanran, when your father leaves, the whole Qin can only rely on you."

Qin Shanhe put the bowl on the table beside the bed and said to Qin Yanran.

Seeing his daughter silent, he looked up, as if he saw his former self.

Qin Shanhe's current state is not due to some incurable disease as the outside world said. He was once a dignified Venerable, how could he be sick?

He was poisoned. Yes, he was first besieged by unknown strong men, beaten, and escaped with his life. When he came back, he was poisoned by people in the court!

He was so miserable that he was only at the level of Linghai Realm.

He didn't even know what poison he was poisoned with. He only knew that the poison would slowly penetrate his body and reduce his cultivation!

Twenty-five years ago, he had just destroyed Wu and Yue, and he was full of vigor and energy, like an emperor.

But the good times didn't last long. After five years of seclusion, he was attacked and besieged by several people who were also in the late stage of Venerable Realm when he went out. In the end, he escaped with his life and returned to the palace seriously injured.

However, after recuperating for a while, he found that he seemed to be poisoned. His body, which was supposed to be healthy, slowly became weak and powerless.

Even his cultivation was reduced to the middle stage of Venerable Realm.

At this moment, he realized that there was a traitor in the court.

After his investigation, he finally found clues, and he judged that the traitor must be in the Venerable Realm.

And there was more than one.

However, there were no clues here, and his cultivation level had dropped to the early stage of the Venerable Realm, and he had no power to resist.

So he could only go out to find a way to save himself, but unfortunately, although he found it, it could only alleviate the situation.

Now, twenty years have passed, and he only has the cultivation level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

Ten years ago, he had no choice but to announce his abdication, and could only use the death of his four useless sons to force Qin Yanran to succeed to the throne.

However, it was better for the four useless people to die. They had average qualifications and even worse character. They had constantly won over court officials for the throne, making the entire dynasty a mess.

Thinking of this, Qin Shanhe sighed, he looked at Qin Yanran, and said helplessly in his eyes:

"Yanran, in fact, you have a younger sister."

"What?"

Qin Yanran was stunned when she heard it.

She no longer values the affection between the royal family. Ten years ago, when fighting for the throne, she had already stated that she would not participate.

But her four brothers still targeted her, wanting to get rid of her first and then play games with each other.

She couldn't understand why the brothers who had been so good to her changed, just for this illusory throne?

Later, she realized that the throne had been chosen by her father.

She became the emperor in the mouths of others.

Now, when she heard her father say that he had a sister in his mouth, she was stunned and a little unbelievable.

"Twenty years ago, I had just been poisoned. I met her in the process of looking for an antidote. We fell in love at first sight. Not long after, she became pregnant."

"But I was poisoned, and there were traitors in the court who were plotting something, so I had no choice but to abandon them, mother and daughter."

"I'm sorry for them, mother and daughter. I guess she still hates me now."

Qin Shanhe said, and a few tears flowed out. He regretted it very much, but the incident had already happened. Nineteen years had passed, and there was no room for redemption.

"Yanran, after I die, you should visit them more often and give them some training resources. If your sister has good talent, you must send her to the Daqin Academy."

"..."

Qin Yanran was silent, listening to her father's story. She felt a little emotional. A woman endured loneliness for nearly 20 years and took care of her daughter alone.

How great and tragic this is.

At this moment, she actually wanted to protect them.

After experiencing the sadness and disappointment during the struggle for the throne, Qin Yanran was under great pressure because there were traitors in the court who were plotting something.

Originally, she only had her father as her relative, and now she has a younger sister. She suddenly feels happy.

"Father, what's her name? Where are they now?"

"Her name is Lu Ningyue. I named your sister Qingcheng. She once told me that she came from Pingyang City, a small family in the city with only the highest level of Yuanshen Realm."

"Pingyang City is within my Great Qin territory, Yanran, you must go and see it."

Qin Shanhe said with a sad face, and a wave of sadness appeared in his heart inexplicably.

Qin Yanran was stunned at this time,

Ah?

Pingyang City?

Lu Family?

If she remembered correctly, there seemed to be only one Lu Family in Pingyang City.

"Father, are you sure you remembered correctly? Is it really the Lu Family in Pingyang City?"

Qin Yanran asked like a soul.

"Can I still lie to you? I just lowered my cultivation and collapsed my body, but my brain is not broken."

Qin Shanhe said unhappily.

Qin Yanran was stunned. Is it really that Lu Family?
