The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 380 - 377: The Great Reversal

Long Rui’s legs were suddenly riddled with two bloody holes.

He let out two agonizing screams, lying on the ground unable to get up.

Seeing this, several princes and princesses at the side were all terrified, their faces turning pale.

Looking at Little Xinzhuo, his delicate little face was a picture of indifference.

"Stop!"

A few eunuchs were seen rushing over swiftly, with a glimpse of bright yellow catching everyone’s eyes.

"Father Emperor."

"Long live, long live the Emperor."

All the imperial heirs present knelt down one after another, and Little Xinzhuo also knelt.

His fists clenched involuntarily; he too knew that he had made a grave error today.

But Long Rui had been too overbearing. Had it not been for Ghost’s help, he would be the one lying on the ground now.

"Seventh Prince, there’s no need to panic. Miss Ye asked me to tell you, if you run into trouble, speak to Emperor Longteng like this..."

The voice of Ghost kept coming into his ears.

Little Xinzhuo’s tightly clenched hands slowly relaxed.

"Father Emperor, it’s good that you’ve come. Xiao Liu was gravely injured by Little Qi. No matter how I tried to persuade him, I couldn’t stop him!"

Long Qingchen also appeared to be in a state of shock.

In fact, Long Qingchen was indeed caught off guard.

Among these imperial heirs, Long Rui had the strongest power, around the Xuanwu Triple level, which was even considered noteworthy among the scholars of Qingtian Academy.

Long Qingchen had ordered him to deal with Little Xinzhuo, counting on the fact that Little Xinzhuo was a Spirit Master who needed time to gather spirit.

Unexpectedly, Long Rui suddenly performed poorly, and was severely injured by Little Xinzhuo instead.

However, this gave Long Qingchen the perfect opportunity to kick a man when he was down and turn the blame on Little Xinzhuo.

Emperor Longteng happened to be passing by the training ground; he loved martial arts and placed great emphasis on the princes’ practice.

Today, when one of his eunuchs mentioned that some of the princes were sparring here, he decided to go and see for himself, to evaluate the princes’ kung fu.

Little did he know that he would witness the scene of Little Xinzhuo harming his own brother.

Emperor Longteng’s expression was stern as he glanced at Little Xinzhuo. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Xinzhuo, do you realize your wrongdoings!"

"This son acknowledges his fault, but I have something to say."

Xinzhuo said with his head lowered, his voice trembling slightly.

"Speak with your head raised."

Emperor Longteng said displeased.

"My son had no such intention. When I was younger, outside the palace, I relied on mother for survival. After reaching the age of three, I’ve been through numerous dangers. Just recently, I was almost strangled to death by evildoers and left at the burial mound. After that incident, though my life was spared, I contracted an illness, leading to fits of frenzy. Just now, brother six attacked me without waiting for me to gather spirit, aiming at my throat and heart, which inadvertently reminded me of that past event. I accidentally lost control due to my illness. I had already refused to spar, but brother six was insistent. I... acknowledge my fault."

Little Xinzhuo was still trembling slightly as he spoke.

After speaking, he even pointed to his own throat.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longteng was greatly shocked.

He stepped forward and felt Little Xinzhuo’s throat, finding an old wound at his Adam’s apple.

Though there was no visible scar on the skin, with the wound penetrating deep into the bone, it was clear that the child had nearly been strangled to death.

Emperor Longteng’s body shook, and feelings of self-reproach and guilt emerged.

A child of only six or seven years old, who clearly possessed imperial blood, had experienced such a terrifying ordeal.

"Long Rui, just now, did you indeed force Little Qi to spar with you?"

Emperor Longteng’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Long Rui.

Under his father’s intense gaze, Long Rui didn’t dare to utter a sound.

"How preposterous! Little Qi has only recently returned; as his older siblings, how can you oppress him like this? From now on, unless Little Qi is willing, none of you may force him to spar."

Emperor Longteng reprimanded angrily.
