The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 377 - 374: Calamity of Mother and Son (Part 1)

Fifteen minutes later, the Imperial Physician let go of Little Xinzhuo’s wrist.

"Empress, Noble Shi can rest assured, the Seventh Prince is not ill. He merely has an upset stomach. Taking one tael’s worth of medicine will suffice."

Noble Shi breathed a sigh of relief, expressing profound thanks.

Empress Feng gave a smile that was not quite a smile, eyeing Little Xinzhuo but not exposing anything.

"Many thanks, Empress."

After the Imperial Physician left, Noble Shi hurriedly thanked the Empress.

"No need for formalities, Sister. The Seventh Prince got a stomach upset under my care; I am also responsible. Now that he is better, I am relieved. I felt unwell these past few days and couldn’t properly attend to you and the Seventh Prince. Today, feeling a bit better, I thought of you. How have you been adapting to palace life these past few days?"

Empress Feng’s exceedingly radiant face bore a flawless smile, appearing very amiable and approachable.

Empress Feng wasn’t truly unwell; it was simply because of the Zixiao Palace Exam, as both Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue had infuriated her, causing her days of chest pain.

As she spoke, she held Noble Shi’s hand, asking about her well-being warmly, and occasionally threw caring glances at Little Xinzhuo, presenting a harmonious atmosphere.

If Little Xinzhuo did not know of her plot behind to harm him and his mother, he would have been deceived by her.

Little Xinzhuo scoffed inwardly.

"Little brother, although you are a Spirit Master, you appear quite frail. But it’s not your fault, since you grew up in the countryside without proper guidance, almost like a girl."

Third Prince Long Qingchen stood by, sneering.

Little Xinzhuo’s face flushed slightly.

"Third Son, how can you speak so to your younger brother? He is still young. In the future, under the guidance of the military supervisors in the Imperial Palace, he will surely become strong."

Empress Feng pretended to be displeased and scolded.

"Mother speaks rightly; it was I who was impudent. Little brother, please do not mind it."

Long Qingchen quickly changed his demeanor, bowing to Little Xinzhuo.

That obedient appearance almost made Little Xinzhuo believe that the one who had harmed him earlier was not this person before him.

"You teach me well, Third Imperial Brother; I will surely work harder on my cultivation."

Little Xinzhuo felt something was amiss, yet he could only respond accordingly.

"Little brother, since you are new to the Imperial Palace, you mustn’t be familiar with its layout. How about I take you around and also introduce you to the military supervisors for some guidance?"

Long Qingchen offered this kindly invitation with a humble and brotherly demeanor.

"Little Xinzhuo, always remember, when things seem abnormal, there must be demons at work."

Sister’s teachings echoed in his ears.

Little Xinzhuo became vigilant.

"Nicely said, Sister Shi, you stay here and chat with me. Third Son, you show Little Qi around the palace. Remember, don’t neglect Little Qi."

Empress Feng said cheerfully.

Noble Shi, hearing this, twisted her fingers nervously, her lips parting slightly, wanting to politely refuse Empress Feng.

"Mother, don’t worry, I will return shortly."

Little Xinzhuo knew that if he did not agree, Empress Feng would definitely trouble his mother.

With Sister not around and being just a little boy, he needed to protect his mother.

Whatever the Third Prince might do, he would certainly not dare to harm him within the Imperial Palace.

Little Xinzhuo also wanted to see what kind of tricks he was planning.

Long Qingchen smiled, a venomous glint flashing briefly in his eyes, as he led Little Xinzhuo out of Fuluan Palace.

Noble Shi’s heart hung in her throat, unable to rise or settle, to the extent that she couldn’t even hear Empress Feng speaking to her.

Until she heard a sentence.

"Sister Shi, has General Shi left anything for you?"
