The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1247 - 1241: Overt and Covert Schemes

Emperor Longteng summoned Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing, offering them some comfort.

Xin Lin seized the opportunity to express her wish to see Little Xinzhuo.

Xin Lin managed to see Shi Fei, but couldn’t find a way to see Little Xinzhuo.

Even Captain Yang could only pass on a message.

Emperor Longteng hesitated and didn’t agree immediately.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Shi Fei is quite peculiar. If General Shi truly is involved with her, as Shi Fei’s father, why would he harm her? Besides, even if Shi Fei is guilty, Little Xinzhuo is innocent; he is your child. He is a dutiful child. Earlier, he trained day and night at Qingtian Academy, saying he couldn’t bring shame to Your Majesty. In order to break through to Great Spirit Master, he endured a lot of hardship, and once nearly went berserk, causing chaos to his spirit vein."

As Xin Lin spoke, she wiped her eyes, which were red.

"That child... very well, I will go with you to see him, and hope he doesn’t resent me."

Emperor Longteng sighed, waved his hand, and was about to go with Xin Lin to see Little Xinzhuo.

Xin Lin’s words reminded Emperor Longteng that Little Xinzhuo was a diligent and gifted child. Should they really send him as a hostage to Fuzhou?

Just as Emperor Longteng finished speaking, a palace maid hurriedly entered from outside.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened, the Empress has miscarried."

"What! You say the Empress...?"

Emperor Longteng’s expression changed dramatically.

"The Empress accidentally fell in Chunhua Palace Garden, only then was it discovered she was carrying a dragon heir."

The palace maid sobbed quietly.

With a pale face, Emperor Longteng urged the palace maid and hurried towards Fuluan Palace, completely forgetting about going with Xin Lin to see Little Xinzhuo.

"Men, just like that."

By the corners of Xin Lin’s reddened eyes, there were no more tears.

In Emperor Longteng’s heart, Shi Fei and her son could never compare to his beloved Empress Feng.

However... it’s true that the wicked get their comeuppance.

"Hungry... hungry..."

Beside her, Chu Beiqing nudged his daughter, noticing her cold demeanor and feeling slightly uneasy, he couldn’t help but nudge her.

"Father, today has really been hard on you. You stayed in the water well for so long and vomited so much water. When we get back, I’ll cook something delicious for you. You performed particularly well today."

Xin Lin, full of remorse, patted Chu Beiqing’s stomach.

Though her silly father had a handsome face, his physique was undeniably solid.

His abdomen was flat and firm to the touch. Earlier, she had punched that very spot quite hard.

With permission from Emperor Longteng, Xin Lin took Chu Beiqing to find Little Xinzhuo.

Little Xinzhuo was detained in a secluded palace garden.

When Xin Lin arrived, he was sitting motionless in the room.

"Seventh Prince, look who’s come to see you."

Captain Yang brought Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing inside. Upon seeing Little Xinzhuo’s condition, Captain Yang shook his head.

Ever since being confined, Long Xinzhuo had refused to eat or drink, sitting there all the time.

"Ah Zhuo. Father and I have come to see you."

Seeing Long Xinzhuo’s condition once again filled Xin Lin with both heartache and helplessness.

Chirp chirp chirp~

A bright yellow ball of fluff quickly jumped into Little Xinzhuo’s arms, as if to say, it was there too.

The fluffy sensation finally elicited a reaction from Little Xinzhuo.

"Danzi... Sister, Uncle Chu, you’re here. I’m fine, I’m just worried about Mother Fei."

Little Xinzhuo crinkled his nose, his eyes brimmed with tears, yet none fell.

Sister had said, a real man doesn’t shed tears easily. He must be a pillar of strength, not letting Sister and Uncle Chu look down on him.
