The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 378 - 375: Calamity of Mother and Son (Part 2)

Noble Lady Shi’s heartbeat suddenly stopped, then she came back to her senses.

"Empress, my father, he is innocent..."

Noble Lady Shi started to argue, but halfway through her sentence, she remembered Xin Lin’s earlier admonition.

Noble Lady Shi’s complexion turned pale, and she hurriedly rose to kneel.

"Empress, my father is already dead, he committed a grave sin, if His Majesty can leave him with an intact corpse, I am already very content. Not to mention leaving me with anything, even if he did, I would not dare to hide or cover it up. Please, Empress, see the truth of the matter."

Empress Feng was slightly surprised, but it was because of Noble Lady Shi’s attitude.

In earlier years, Noble Lady Shi had refused to admit General Shi’s injustice to the death.

It seems, after several years outside, this woman has learned a bit about discerning the times.

In fact, Empress Feng had already ordered a thorough search of the Imperial Palace where Noble Lady Shi and her son had once lived, as well as the former Shi Mansion, but nothing was found.

"Sister Shi, please rise, you are frightened. I was merely asking casually. You and the Seventh Prince have just returned to the palace and don’t have many personal aides; my palace has many people with complicated hands, so I have selected a few for you, who will from now on serve you and the Seventh Prince exclusively."

After saying this, a few palace maids and eunuchs waited on the side.

Noble Lady Shi looked up, her complexion even paler...

Leaving Fuluan Palace, Long Qingchen led in front, with Little Xinzhuo following.

As promised, Long Qingchen took Little Xinzhuo around the Imperial Palace.

Longteng Palace had small bridges and flowing water, and everywhere, there were delicate and elegant bonsai pavilions, leaving Little Xinzhuo dazzled.

"Little Seventh Brother, ahead is the Royal Training Ground, specially built by our father so that we can be strong and sturdy, to become pillars of the state. Inside, there are numerous military supervisors with cultivation at the Xuan Transformation Realm’s Perfect level."

While speaking, Long Qingchen brought Little Xinzhuo to the front of the training ground.

At this hour, the training ground was not emitting "Hei Hei Ha Ha" sounds.

Instead, you could see a dozen boys and girls, ranging from eight to ten years old, striking martial arts poses as they trained.

They all wore light brown training uniforms, each of them with clear and handsome features, obviously royal offspring.

The children here, who mostly do not qualify to enter Qingtian Academy yet, therefore, train in the Imperial Palace.

Unlike princes from the main palace like Long Qingchen, Long Qingchen entered Qingtian Academy right at the age of six, so among this group of children, his orders were akin to imperial edicts.

Only those who were tested for outstanding talent, like Long Qingchen, would enter Qingtian Academy.

Upon seeing Long Qingchen, several military supervisors quickly came forward to salute.

Long Qingchen waved his hand.

"Xiao Liu, bring them over."

Upon seeing Long Qingchen, a tiger-headed and tiger-brained ten-year-old boy hurried over.

The other boys and girls also scrambled to gather around.

Calling out "Third Prince" nonstop.

The children in the Imperial Palace are all sharp-witted, and they know, as the son of the Empress, the Third Prince has the power to decide their fate in the Imperial Palace.

"Third Brother, is he the Seventh Prince, the top four in the Zixiao Palace Exam?"

Sixth Prince Long Rui was clearly the Third Prince’s lackey.

He had long known about Little Xinzhuo’s arrival, his face full of provocation as he looked at Little Xinzhuo.

Long Rui, just like Little Xinzhuo, was a Noble’s nephew, but he had always been inconspicuous in the Imperial Palace, so seeing Little Xinzhuo able to enter Qingtian Academy and making a big name for himself, he felt a strong sense of jealousy.

"This is Xin Zhuo. He has come to the Royal Training Ground today to exchange pointers with everyone. Xiao Liu, you go and spar with Little Qi."

Long Qingchen smiled, gave Little Xinzhuo a gentle push, and forcibly pushed him to the middle of the training ground.
