Each experience brings wisdom.
After Shi Fei’s bloodshed, Little Xinzhuo seed to have matured significantly overnight.
There was a hint of Old Chen’s deanor in his eyes.
"Oh? What did you discover?"
Xin Lin was sowhat 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 ntioned 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 outco.
If at first, Little Xinzhuo had so 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 so empathy, but when my mother ntioned 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 ti.
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 resentnt 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 treatnt of Mother is against moral principles.
"We must investigate this matter thoroughly as well. Ah Zhuo, rember, until I give you feedback, don’t take action against Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan. You can’t fight them; they have nurous 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 ti to focus on the palace.
As for Empress Feng, her recent miscarriage would keep her quiet for a while.
Little Xinzhuo seed 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 extrely 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 so ti 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 dread of having..."
