94 Its For Your Sake (2/2)

He waited for her answer, but Lan'er was stuck in her own little world. What? Contaminated? Wouldn't she be dead....but wasn't Hongyue still alive?

Unable to keep her posture, Lan'er asked, ”Father, how could a living person have contaminated blood with poison?”

The general looked thoughtful as he began to recall the words of the doctor, ”I thought it was ominous as well, but the doctor said it was possible. After all, Hongyue contains two types of poison in her body currently. As long as they continue battling each other out in her body, she will stay alive.”

Lan'er felt her heart stand still. Her father's words were like a curse. Hongyue must already be in so much pain.

However, the truth was far from it.

Hongyue already had three types of poison in her blood, and her powers were currently enough to suppress them. Not only that, she was able to control the movement of the poison in her blood so although the blood she gave was contaminated, it was not the same inside her body. Unlike how Lan'er feared for her sister, Hongyue was perfectly fine.

Clutching tightly to the fabric of her dress, Lan'er gave a weak smile. Since her father was moving along with his plans so quickly, she could only oblige, ”Can this daughter request one thing from father?”

The general frowned. Didn't he always give Lan'er whatever she wanted? What else could she want now?

”What request do you have in mind?”

Lan'er paused, her thoughts echoing inside her mind, ”If this daughter completes this task, will you allow Hongyue to live with me in the future?”

Seeing her father furrow his eyebrows, Lan'er hurried with her words, ”Hongyue already doesn't have a mother. She's too simple, and she can't fend for herself. Lan'er wants a toy to play with.”

If Lan'er were able to complete this task, Hongyue would no longer be any threat to him, and the Emperor wouldn't be able to use Hongyue. Thinking back to how Hongyue was of no value and couldn't do any harm, the general acknowledged Lan'er with a soft tap of his knuckles, ”If you complete this task usefully.”

Lan'er lowered her head.

This was her only chance at keeping her sister by her side and protecting her. Of course, she would have to take it.

Hongyue, please forgive me.

Your sister isn't doing this on purpose.

I'll find a better husband for you in the future, but for now, it's for your sake.
