The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1250 - 1244: Blood Feud

Each experience brings wisdom.

After Shi Fei’s bloodshed, Little Xinzhuo seemed to have matured significantly overnight.

There was a hint of Old Chen’s demeanor in his eyes.

"Oh? What did you discover?"

Xin Lin was somewhat surprised that Little Xinzhuo could remain rational in such circumstances.

"Actually, the ghostly events have been happening for several days, causing unrest among the concubines and even Empress Feng in the palace. But it wasn’t until last night that Emperor Longteng truly acted, investigating the matter thoroughly, which led to the discovery at Mother’s side, causing all the subsequent events."

When Little Xinzhuo mentioned Emperor Longteng, his tone was quite distant.

Although it was brought about by Long Qingxuan and his mother in Jimo City, the true execution was by Emperor Longteng.

Because of his ruthlessness, both he and Mother faced this outcome.

If at first, Little Xinzhuo had some fantasies about recognizing his heritage, returning to the Imperial Family, and having a happy family, that night, Emperor Longteng shattered it all.

In Little Xinzhuo’s heart, from now on, there was only Mother and Sister.

"When I returned to the palace, Mother was already lying in a pool of blood, and they still wanted my life. At first, I thought Emperor Longteng would at least have some empathy, but when my mother mentioned my grandfather, Emperor Longteng’s expression suddenly changed."

Little Xinzhuo spent most of the day pondering over this matter.

He clearly saw Emperor Longteng’s reaction at that time.

Amidst the fear, there was a hint of avoidance.

"General Shi was killed because he betrayed the nation. Logically, Emperor Longteng might feel at most resentment or anger when seeing him, so why the avoidance?"

Xin Lin also found the matter peculiar.

"I suspect there’s a problem with Grandfather’s death. Emperor Longteng’s avoidance toward my mother stems from this."

Little Xinzhuo sneered coldly.

Even if General Shi betrayed the country, he made countless contributions to Longteng’s rise, which Emperor Longteng has completely forgotten.

His treatment of Mother is against moral principles.

"We must investigate this matter thoroughly as well. Ah Zhuo, remember, until I give you feedback, don’t take action against Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan. You can’t fight them; they have numerous minions in the palace. Additionally, be cautious—the Imperial Palace may seem peaceful, but in reality, it’s a den of filth. After nightfall, don’t wander around randomly. For safety, I’ve withdrawn the ghost soldiers; for the next few days, only Captain Yang will protect you."

Xin Lin cautioned.

The only consolation was that Long Qingxuan still needed to return to Qingtian Academy to oversee the students at Taichang Holy Institute, leaving him little time to focus on the palace.

As for Empress Feng, her recent miscarriage would keep her quiet for a while.

Little Xinzhuo seemed both understanding and perplexed.

"Sister, are you saying there are really disturbances in the palace?"

"I’m not clear on what it is, but it’s extremely dangerous—even your Brother Hu advised against provoking it."

What Xin Lin referred to was that strange Shadow Martial Soul.

She still hadn’t figured out the opponent’s identity.

But one thing is certain: that creature only appears at night.

At least during the day, when so many things happened in the palace, it didn’t show up.

After seeing Little Xinzhuo, Xin Lin left the palace.

In Fuluan Palace, Empress Feng lay on the Phoenix Couch, and Emperor Longteng consoled her for quite some time before leaving.

As soon as Emperor Longteng left, Empress Feng burst into tears.

"I actually had a child... his child... my poor child... the child I’ve dreamed of having..."
