The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1233 - 1227: Blood for Blood

Thump, thump, thump, three loud kowtows hit the ground with a sound.

Xin Zhuo’s gaze was resolute.

These three kowtows completely severed his father-son bond with Emperor Longteng.

His forehead was slightly red.

Lady Shifei watched from the side, her heart aching, while Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan and others showed proud expressions.

Lady Shifei’s heart was completely chilled.

As he lifted his head, he was Xin Zhuo, no longer the Seventh Prince of Longteng.

Emperor Longteng pondered deeply for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what Xin Zhuo said is not without reason. I think it’s best to send him as a hostage."

Empress Feng looked at Emperor Longteng, knowing he hesitated.

Emperor Longteng indeed had reservations about the Shi Mansion, but Xin Zhuo was still his child—that was a fact.

With Lady Shifei, they had a reason, but with Xin Zhuo, it wasn’t so clear.

Moreover, His Majesty acted out of impulse tonight, and would surely regret it after a few days.

Lady Shifei was already convicted, the child in her belly was gone, Empress Feng had already vented her anger.

Now, Empress Feng put on the appearance of the master of the Six Palaces, motherly and magnanimous.

"Mother is right, sending Xin Zhuo over is most suitable."

Long Qingchen also fanned the flames from the side.

That fool Xin Zhuo thinks going to Fuzhou is better than staying in Longteng?

Fuzhou is a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den, from which there’s no returning.

"Xin Zhuo, have you truly made up your mind?"

Emperor Longteng looked at Xin Zhuo.

In this son’s eyes, he saw no trace of respect. Emperor Longteng felt sad, for he was a good seed, yet at this moment, he already had no regard for his father.

"I have made my decision, I only ask father to show mercy and spare mother’s life. Additionally, I wish to participate in the End of Year Assessment before leaving, as my last contribution to the Spirit Institute."

Xin Zhuo crawled on the ground.

"Fine, I will grant you that."

Emperor Longteng showed signs of weariness.

Tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night for him.

"Confine Lady Shifei in the Heavenly Prison, everyone else be dismissed."

Emperor Longteng waved his hand, Empress Feng accompanied him at his side, and they left together.

As they departed, Empress Feng cast a sideways glance at Lady Shifei, her eyes full of contempt—Lady Shifei was too naive to compete with her.

Long Qingxuan was the last to leave.

"Xin Zhuo, what a clever move, don’t think you can deceive father and me. What’s your connection to the Ghost General?"

Long Qingxuan didn’t expect Xin Zhuo’s ghost energy could escape the Demon Extermination Bowl.

"Crown Prince, today’s enmity is etched in my heart. One day, I will make you and Empress Feng pay with blood."

Xin Zhuo didn’t look up, but his voice was filled with chilling determination.

At this moment, he had shed all traces of childish innocence.

No growth can occur without enduring heart-wrenching pain.

"Save these words for if you manage to walk out of Fuzhou alive."

Long Qingxuan gave no regard to Xin Zhuo’s words.

The defeated are worthless; Xin Zhuo and Lady Shifei were already abandoned by Emperor Longteng.

If Longteng’s plan succeeded, Fuzhou wouldn’t be a threat.

Shanyu Palace was shrouded in deathly silence.

Captain Yang sighed, ordered someone forward, and helped Lady Shifei up.

Lady Shifei was but a frail woman, having just miscarried, with blood still flowing.

Imprisoning her in the Heavenly Prison now was akin to a death sentence, Empress Feng certainly wouldn’t allow it, nor would they summon an Imperial Physician to treat her.

Once dawn broke, even if Xin Lin received the news and rushed over, it would likely be too late.
