Chapter 12: Empress Qu Qingyan, the Ye family has fallen into decline and only a drunkard is left? "Rou'er, Dad didn't expect that Ye Ling'er would have reached the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age." "If I had known she was so powerful, Dad would never have let you take such a big risk." "But Rou'er, you really don't know how to read people's expressions. You know that Ye Ling'er is so powerful, so why do you still want to provoke her?" "Dad, you...you blame me?" Qin Rou's eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "I did everything according to my father's instructions!" "Dad, you must help me get revenge no matter what!" Looking at the bloody hole on his daughter's calf, Qin Ru felt extremely distressed and gritted his teeth and said, "Rou'er, don't worry." "Daddy will definitely help you get revenge!" "Somebody come!"
Two sturdy figures came behind Qin Ru and knelt on one knee, "Mr. Benevolence!" These two brothers are the elite among the death warriors trained by Qin Ru. Their names are Yuan Tian and Yuan Di, and both of them are powerful warriors in the Nascent Soul stage. "I order you to sneak into Xiaoyao Palace tonight." "Kill that little girl in the palace and avenge my daughter!" "besides……" Qin Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "Search carefully to find out where the Xuanyuan Sword is hidden in the Ye family." "Yes!" The two of them clasped their fists and nodded, then quickly turned and left. As soon as the two of them left, an old eunuch walked in from outside. "Prime Minister Qin, His Majesty has ordered you to come to the palace for an urgent meeting!" In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, in the Da Qi Palace. A woman was sitting reclining on a phoenix couch or dragon bed. The woman has fair skin and extremely beautiful face, she is stunningly beautiful. A pair of beautiful eyes are as enchanting as purple gemstones, captivating, charming and alluring. He wore a golden phoenix hairpin on his head and an imperial robe with gold and red silk threads, revealing a bit of the imperial majesty. However, her powerful cultivation at the peak of Mahayana status makes people dare not have any improper or evil thoughts towards her. She is the Queen of Great Qi, Qu Qingyan. Qu Qingyan was resting with her eyes closed on the couch when Qin Ru walked in from outside, knelt on the ground and said carefully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, your Majesty."
"Well, get up." Qu Qingyan didn't open her eyes and asked calmly, "How is it going?" "Your Majesty, something has happened." Qin Ru apologized, "I am following the order of His Majesty to let my daughter frame Ye Ling'er of the Ye family today." "But despite all my calculations, I didn't expect that Ye Ling'er's cultivation had actually reached the Nascent Soul stage." "Nascent Soul Realm?" Qu Qingyan was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on her face, "I remember that little girl from the Ye family, she was only about fifteen or sixteen years old." "At such a young age, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. He is truly worthy of being the bloodline of the Ye family." Qin Ru said with a bitter face, "Just because that little girl is too strong and my daughter threw dirty water on her today, she actually made a scene in Bailu Academy." "Not only did he break my daughter's leg, he also killed Wang Xuan, the senior disciple of Bailu Academy, crippled teacher Liu Yuan, and contradicted Vice President Chen Hai." "Then Ye Ling'er also said that in the Great Qi Dynasty, the strong are respected. With her father backing her up, she is not afraid of anyone." Qu Qingyan smiled coldly and said, "His father is just a useless drunkard. He is nothing to be afraid of." "A sixteen-year-old Nascent Soul Stage cultivator may indeed have a promising future, but he can be abandoned for the sake of the century-old foundation of the Great Qi Dynasty." "The most important thing right now is to get the Ye family's Xuanyuan Sword back to the court as soon as possible." "Your Majesty, this may not be appropriate, right?" Qin Ru pretended to be embarrassed and said with some reluctance, "The Xuanyuan Sword is, after all, a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Ye family, and has been in the hands of the Ye family for all these years." "The Ye family has been loyal to our Great Qi for many years and has made great contributions. If we rashly retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword, what if it causes dissatisfaction among the people of the world?" "Oh, I can't care so much." Qu Qingyan smiled coldly and said, "In any case, the Xuanyuan Sword is one of the only two supreme divine weapons in the Great Qi Dynasty. It is the national power of the Great Qi Dynasty." "It has always been controlled by the Ye family. Firstly, it is because the Ye family is full of loyal and brave people who have made great contributions. Secondly, it is because the Ye family has many strong people who are capable of protecting this sword." "But now, the Ye family has long since fallen, and its former glory no longer exists. Only a useless drunkard is left. What's the point of occupying an imperial weapon?" "This supreme divine weapon should be controlled and protected by the royal family." "Tell Qin Hai to use whatever means necessary to prove Ye Ling'er's guilt tomorrow." "If it really doesn't work... then we can just send out the Imperial Guards to forcibly search the Ye family." "Forced search?" Qin Ru was slightly startled, and said with difficulty, "Your Majesty, this is probably inappropriate? After all, the Ye family is the descendants of meritorious service..." "Nothing wrong." Qu Qingyan sneered, "The merits are in the past, and the current Ye family has long since withered." "The only value of the Ye family nowadays is to contribute that sword."
"How can you deprive the Ye family of their last role in serving the country?" "understand……" Qin Ru nodded slightly, clasped his fists and retreated silently. After leaving the palace, a cold and sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Since Her Majesty has already regarded the Ye family as abandoned, then it will be easy to deal with." "In that case, there is no difference between keeping this Xuanyuan Sword in my Qin family and keeping it in the royal family." …… The night was dark and windy, with a cold and bleak breeze. Yuan Tian and Yuan Di quietly sneaked into Ye Mansion. "Second brother, according to Prime Minister En, Ye Ling'er from the Ye family has already reached the Nascent Soul stage." "Reaching the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age? That's amazing." Yuan Di showed a look of surprise, but then he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. He is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. If you and I work together, it will be easy to kill him." Yuan Tian said: "And what about that drunkard?" "Heh, that drunkard is not a problem." Yuan Tian sneered, "Minister En said that the drunkard is just a useless piece of trash and is not worth worrying about at all." "If he dares to do anything bad, we can just kill him." "Don't forget, our most important mission this time is to find the Ye family's supreme divine weapon." "As long as we find the Supreme Divine Artifact, we will have made a great contribution, and the Prime Minister will surely reward us handsomely." The two brothers sneaked into Ye’s house and jumped lightly onto the roof. The two looked around for a long time, squinting their eyes to take it all in. "I sense it." Yuan Tian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "There is a strong spiritual power fluctuation coming from the west wing. There must be something extraordinary hidden there." "Okay, let's go over there and take a look!" The two brothers were about to jump off the roof and head to the west wing. However, when they came to the eaves and looked down, they found a figure standing under the tree. It was Ye Qing, standing with his arms folded, looking at them with interest, "What are you looking for, you two?" (End of this chapter)
