The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 440: The Massacre Becomes More Severe

"How could that be? As long as you are obedient, I can let you out at any time. But the premise is that you are really obedient."

"Be obedient, haha," Qingyu put down the spoon, having completely lost her appetite, "What do you mean by be obedient? I can't have my own ideas, and I can't disobey any of your orders. Even if it's wrong and a heinous crime, I still have to listen to you, right?"

"Yu'er, after all these years, why haven't you learned your lesson? You are my wife and we are a family, why do you have to get angry with me for those irrelevant people? I am the most important person in your life."

"Unrelated people? Prince, are you talking about my father who was wrongly accused and died tragically, or my brother who was brutally killed by you and whose body was never found? Or the clan members who were innocently implicated?" Qingyu's eyes were red as she questioned Situ Lian in a low voice.

"I have no choice. Your father is too stubborn and is determined to make things difficult for me."

It must be said that Qingyu and his father were very similar in character, equally stubborn, equally black and white. It was just the death of some children, and he did it to cure his disease and live a good life, so what was wrong with him? He was of noble status, and it was their greatest honor that those children could die for him.

Situ Lian had been weak since childhood, and it was said that he had this disease from birth. The Imperial Hospital spent a lot of effort but still could not cure him. Later, Situ Lian's mother, the late Queen of Northern Qi, found a witch doctor from somewhere, who said that using the heart blood of a child could alleviate Situ Lian's condition.

In order to make her son healthy, the mad queen agreed to the witch doctor's method.

Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good. Although it could not cure the disease, it did allow him to live well.

The child who was said to be impossible to raise actually grew up and even got married and had children, although the child... was not born.

But that method could only maintain Situ Lian's life and could not completely cure him.

On her deathbed, the Queen wrote a letter to the Divine Doctor Valley. Originally, the two brothers and sisters should have never seen each other again because of what happened. But for the sake of her child, the Queen put aside her face and begged her brother to save her child's life for the sake of their youth.

Wufeng was a soft-hearted person to begin with. Thinking that his junior sister was gone, and her child... Well, he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

Although the process was a bit bumpy and took a long time, fortunately it is almost the same as that of a normal person.

However, maybe because he had been taking the heart blood of children for so many years, Situ Lian had never broken this habit. He even went to extremes to torture and kill those children to satisfy his perverted desires.

Qingyu's father, General Xiao Yunhai, was an upright and honest man. He discovered the prince's habit by chance and reported him to the Emperor of Northern Qi immediately.

But unexpectedly, the Northern Qi emperor was actually an insider. He said that he would severely punish the prince, but unexpectedly...

It is sad and lamentable that a veteran who had fought for Northern Qi for many years would die because he discovered the prince's secret. What's more, he was the prince's father-in-law...

Qingyu looked at him and found it particularly ridiculous, "Situ Lian, do you think that in this world, only your life is the real life, and everyone else's life is insignificant?"

Situ Lian looked at her without saying anything. It was obvious that he felt the same way. How could he be compared with ordinary people?

Qingyu sneered and shook her head. "Forget it. I saw your true face long ago. It's really unnecessary to ask. I don't know if you will think of those innocent and childish faces when you wake up in your dreams at midnight."

Situ Lian pursed his lips, and he pinched Qingyu's jaw hard, "Yu'er, you always know how to make me angry."

Qingyu looked him straight in the eye without dodging, "Your Highness, I am too kind. I was just telling the truth."

Situ Lian snorted coldly, "It seems that you still haven't listened to what I said. In that case, you should stay here. When you figure it out, I will let you go."

After saying that, Situ Lian left, leaving behind only whispers filled with grief and indignation.

As soon as Situ Lian left the Prince's Mansion, Li Mulan signaled Huo Yuanruo to follow.

"Junior Master, this is the imperial palace, come with me." Huo Yuanruo said in a low voice. If he left her alone in the palace, he would have a hard time explaining if something happened.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Hurry up and follow him. I want to know where Situ Lian is going."

Huo Yuanruo pouted, knowing that he couldn't beat her, so he could only leave first, "Then you better be careful."

"Got it. You should be careful too. Ban Bench said there are experts around Situ Lian."

"understood."

Expert? Humph, that's what the bench guys think is an expert. He wants to see how powerful this expert is.

Perhaps because Situ Lian rarely lived here after getting married, there were not many palace servants in this bedroom. Although she could feel that there were still people watching her, it did not prevent Li Mulan from sneaking in.

Avoiding the dark sight, Li Mulan came to Situ Lian's dormitory quietly.

Looking at the empty house, Li Mulan searched for something bit by bit. Situ Lian had been here for so long just now, she didn't believe he was really resting.

She reached out her hand and touched the bed, and sure enough, it was cold.

She looked around and saw almost nothing except the bed. Why was he staying here alone for so long?

She searched quietly and seemed to smell a familiar smell, chicken porridge?

Li Mulan studied medicine and had a very keen sense of smell. Following the smell, she came to the bedside. Could it be that Situ Lian was eating on the bed? He didn't look like that.

Her hands were rubbing around and she accidentally pressed down the red gem. The bed immediately moved, revealing a dark path and a long staircase underneath.

Li Mulan raised her lips, there really was a secret passage. She listened carefully to the noise outside and made sure that there was no one around, then she tiptoed down the secret passage.

The secret passage was not long, and she reached the bottom quickly. After a few steps, she arrived at the room where Whisper was.

At this moment, Qingyu was trying to get up by holding the pillar beside the bed, but her limbs were broken and she had no strength at all.

Suddenly she noticed a gaze, she looked up abruptly, and what she saw was an ordinary, unfamiliar face, but...

Qingyu's eyes were red and her lips were trembling, "Xiao... Xiaojiu?"

The moment Li Mulan saw Qingyu, she was stunned. She couldn't believe that this thin, pale and delicate woman in front of her was actually her sister.

Li Mulan ran over in two or three steps and hugged Qingyu, "Sister!"

"It's you? It's really you, Xiaojiu. I've really been waiting for you." Qingyu's tears fell like beads from a broken string. For so many days, even though her tendons in her hands and feet were broken, she had never shed tears. At this moment, she saw Li Mulan and couldn't hold back.

Li Mulan was even more sad. Her sister had suffered so much that she had become so thin. The female warrior who used to kill people with a long whip in her hand was now...

"Sister, was it Situ Lian who hurt you? Was it him who broke your tendons in your hands and feet?"

Qingyu no longer cared about these things. She originally thought that she was dead this time. Unexpectedly, Long Yi found her first, and now Xiao Jiu came too. It was great that she could see them again before she died.
