Chapter 1232 - 1226: Volunteering for Duty
Emperor Longteng did not speak, he simply gazed at Shi Fei.
There was no hint of fear on Shi Fei’s face; she didn’t even feel pain. She just looked at Emperor Longteng without any dread.
The Heavenly Family is merciless.
Only tonight, at this very moment, did Shi Fei truly feel this truth.
From now on, Shi Yingying has no feelings at all towards the man in front of her.
A flash in Emperor Longteng’s eyes, yet it’s uncertain whether it’s due to Shi Fei’s cold glance, or perhaps a pang of conscience.
No one knows more than him about the Shi family’s loyalty to Longteng.
"Someone, test the blood."
Seeing that Emperor Longteng was slow to speak.
Empress Feng ordered her men forward, to hold down Little Xinzhuo.
"Empress Feng! You!"
Shi Fei still wanted to struggle.
"Mother, I’m alright. Take care of yourself, having lost my sister, I cannot lose you too."
Long Xinzhuo held back his tears, giving Shi Fei a firm look.
Only then did Shi Fei stop moving.
Little Xinzhuo’s blood was dripped into the Demon Extermination Bowl, but as the blood flashed, no black mist spread.
This?
Long Qingxuan was somewhat surprised.
Earlier, he indeed found ghost energy on Little Xinzhuo and his clothes, yet his blood gives nothing, not a trace of ghost energy.
Shi Fei saw this and breathed a sigh of relief.
Little Xinzhuo, however, was not surprised at all.
Inside him, there’s a mouthful of ghost energy from Gui Hu Du.
It seems the Demon Extermination Bowl can only recognize the lowest-grade ghost energies, but Brother Hu, being a Corpse King, it cannot identify.
"Emperor, the Seventh Prince has no ghost energy within him, he is innocent, won’t you see..."
Captain Yang and others beside him quickly pleaded.
"Does it matter if you are the Emperor’s son? Your mother carries a ghost fetus in her belly, this alone proves everything. Father, in my opinion, both of them should be beaten to death with clubs, then handed over to Taichang Temple for exorcism, keeping the Imperial Palace safe."
Taking advantage, Long Qingchen added his insult.
Long Xinzhuo’s progress frightened him; this is the best way to remove Long Xinzhuo!
"Whether I am a prince may mean nothing to you, but it’s significant to Longteng. Emperor... Haven’t you been troubled by the matter of choosing a hostage lately? Among so many princes, none seem fit to be sent away by the Emperor. If the Emperor could spare my mother, Xinzhuo is willing to go to Fuzhou."
Little Xinzhuo knelt down and kowtowed fiercely to Emperor Longteng.
The matter of being a hostage was mentioned by Emperor Longteng while resting in Shi Fei’s palace.
At the time, Shi Fei was worried Emperor Longteng would send Little Xinzhuo, and reminded him to work hard during the End of Year Assessment, so as not to be sent away.
Shi Fei’s casual words, unexpectedly, became a prophecy.
Emperor Longteng was slightly stunned, not expecting Little Xinzhuo, at such a young age, would voluntarily go to Fuzhou.
Knowing that Little Xinzhuo is not a ghost child, and with his exceptional talent, sending him away made Emperor Longteng somewhat reluctant.
"Do you know that the journey to Fuzhou is extraordinarily dangerous? If you admit your mistakes, you could stay away from the troubles of Shanyu Palace."
Emperor Longteng looked at Long Xinzhuo.
"Child, no, no..."
Shi Fei did not expect Little Xinzhuo would volunteer for her sake.
Fuzhou... The perilous land, once you go, you surely won’t return.
"As long as I can protect my mother’s life, not only Fuzhou, but knife mountains and fire seas, I am willing to go. I implore the Emperor to show mercy, and fulfill our wish as mother and son."
