Hearing these words, Han Rui's delicate body trembled.
She immediately sat back down, her beautiful eyes looking at the Li Yue Empress.
"What's wrong?"
"You know," the Li Yue Empress said.
Han Rui's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Mm."
Then she got up again and went to a large courtyard.
The Li Yue Empress also followed behind her.
Dong dong dong——
Han Rui gently knocked on an exquisite door.
"Mother, it's me."
Han Rui's voice was incredibly gentle.
"Cough cough, Rui'er ah... come in."
A rather weak voice came from inside.
Ka——
Han Rui pushed the door open and walked in.
On the bed, an old woman with white hair and obvious traces of time was lying down.
Seeing Han Rui walk in, she revealed a smile.
"Quick, sit..."
"Ya'er, you've come too, sit too..."
The old woman then propped herself up with her arm, wanting to sit up.
"Mother, be careful."
Han Rui quickly went over to support her.
"Ah, I'm old, I'm old, I don't have much strength in my body anymore."
The old woman said softly, then she gently held Han Rui's hand and stroked it gently.
"You two girls are getting more and more beautiful, aren't you thinking of finding a home yet..."
"Oh, Mother, it's still early," Han Rui said娇嗔娇嗔.
Han Ya'er stood behind and said, "Mother doesn't need to worry."
"Ah, yes, yes, you are not ordinary people, Mother really doesn't need to worry, Ya'er, sit."
Han Ya'er sat next to Han Rui.
The old woman held one of their hands in each of hers.
"You ah..."
The old woman looked at them with eyes full of kindness.
"One of you has a long face all day long, as if everyone owes you something."
"One of you is naturally naughty, carefree, and nonchalant."
"If you could give each other some of what you have, that would be great."
Then the old woman said to Han Rui, "You ah, cause less trouble for your sister... She already has a lot of things to do on weekdays, let her worry less about you, worry less about you, you are not young anymore."
Han Rui gently stroked the old woman's wrinkled hand and said, "Mother, don't worry."
The old woman nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Although Rui'er, you are naughty, but you are still very sensible, Ya'er, you should also take care of your sister."
"Mm," the Li Yue Empress nodded.
The old woman fell into past memories, revealing a smile, and murmured:
"You ah, are all gifts given to me by heaven, that day ah, your father and I went up the mountain to collect herbs, and saw Ya'er by the mountain spring."
"Three years later, at the same place, we met Rui'er."
The old woman said with emotion, "In our place, there is no one for miles around, and we live in the depths of the mountains, how could anyone abandon you in that place, so ah, you are all daughters of heaven."
"Mother, we are your daughters," Han Rui said.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
... ...
After a while.
They walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Then the two sisters took advantage of the moonlight to stroll in the large, beautiful garden.
"How much time does Mother have left?"
Han Rui asked.
It could be seen that she was very depressed.
"At most one year."
The Li Yue Empress said.
Han Rui frowned slightly, she looked at Han Ya'er and asked, "Didn't you say before that Mother could still have a dozen or twenty years of life?"
The Li Yue Empress said, "It failed."
Han Rui didn't say anything.
The two of them are not biological sisters.
And they have no blood relationship with the old woman just now.
Many years ago.
They were all adopted.
They can't remember what happened at that time.
Because they were both infants when they were adopted.
That was a place with outstanding people and abundant resources in the depths of the mountains.
In the depths of this mountain, there are many, many small animals.
Two people lived there.
That is, the father and mother who adopted them.
One day, Han Ya'er suddenly appeared in the depths of the mountains and was adopted by them.
Three years later, Han Rui also appeared at that location in the depths of the mountains and was adopted again.
And the couple who adopted them were just ordinary people.
From a young age, they showed extraordinary talent for cultivation.
Even if no one taught them, they naturally cultivated and awakened some powers.
As time slowly passed.
They also completely grew up.
Later, due to some special reasons, or perhaps some coincidences.
Han Ya'er even directly sat on the throne of the Li Yue Empire's Empress.
And their father, a few years ago, because his lifespan had reached its limit, also left this world.
Their mother, now the situation is also a bit bad.
There's no way around it.
They are martial artists, even with very high realms, with a lifespan of ten thousand years.
And the parents who adopted them, these are the most ordinary people.
Their lifespan is at most a hundred years.
In this world, diseases can be cured, injuries can be healed, but lifespan is something that is too difficult to increase.
For some martial artists, without increasing their realm, there are some ways to increase their lifespan.
For example, some heaven and earth spiritual objects, such as some kind of secret technique.
Adding ten years, decades of lifespan, this is not a problem.
But... ...
These methods cannot be used on ordinary people.
For example, those heaven and earth spiritual objects.
If ordinary people use them, they will directly explode and die.
It's not suitable at all.
They have also thought about various methods, but there is really no way.
They even thought about making their parents become martial artists.
But... ...
In this Nine Provinces, people are born with a destiny that determines whether they have the talent to be a martial artist or an ordinary person.
The vast majority of people are born unable to cultivate.
Of course, in this world, there are some ways to allow people who cannot cultivate to cultivate.
However, this method is still not particularly applicable to their parents.
Because their parents were already old at that time.
This method is only applicable when they are young.
Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as their father passed away and were powerless to do anything.
What if their realm is Immortal Emperor?
In some situations, it still seems so powerless.
"This year, don't run around, spend more time with Mother," Han Ya'er said.
"I know," Han Rui nodded.
"Is there any other way?" Han Rui looked at Han Ya'er and asked again.
Han Ya'er then said, "I'm thinking."
"If there is, I can pay any price," Han Rui said.
"You don't need to worry about this matter."
Han Rui was about to walk away when suddenly she thought of something.
"By the way, today I met that Xu Fengqiu in the Five Elements Sect."
"Mm," Han Ya'er nodded.
She didn't really care much.
She had heard the rumors many times, but her heart was not in it.
She knew that Xu Fengqiu's medical skills were heaven-defying, but unfortunately, medical skills are medical skills, lifespan is lifespan, and lifespan cannot be increased by medical skills.
Therefore, she had not tried to find Xu Fengqiu.
