The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 796 - 794: Empress Feng’s Scheming

"My dear niece, you’re being too formal with your uncle. After all, you carry your father’s blood, and he is the eldest son of the Chu Family. Even if our households are separated, we still share a surname and a lineage. This time, your second uncle has been framed by others."

Chu Zhaonan chuckled dryly.

"Framed? By whom? I’ve heard that Chu Tianyi is virile enough to be with over a dozen women in one night. How could anyone force him to do that?"

Xin Lin said with a face full of surprise, raising her voice.

Beside her, several guards and palace maids all bowed their heads in silence, but looking at their shoulders, one could see them trembling slightly, evidently struggling to hold back laughter.

"Xin Lin, shut up! If you dare to slander my father again, I will fight you to the death!"

Chu Miaoyun was jumping with anger.

She couldn’t cover up such a scandal fast enough, and there was Xin Lin, deliberately exacerbating it, making it impossible for her to face others.

"If I have to shut up, I will. I don’t have the time to deal with such vile affairs anyway. Father, let’s go back to the Academy and eat roasted sweet potatoes."

Xin Lin turned around and left; Chu Beiqing hurriedly followed his daughter, ready to depart.

"Wait! Miaoyun, aren’t you going to apologize?"

Chu Zhaonan glared at Chu Miaoyun angrily.

With a face full of grievance, Chu Miaoyun had no choice but to step forward.

"Xin Lin, I was wrong. Please... save my father. We are all from the Chu Family. If my father dies, the Chu Family will fall."

Seeing Xin Lin unmoved, Chu Miaoyun gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down before Chu Beiqing.

"Great uncle, I beg you, please save my father. Your niece is kowtowing to you."

She knocked her head on the ground several times.

Chu Beiqing looked on blankly.

"Your Excellency, could you please announce that my elder brother has arrived."

Seeing the situation, Chu Zhaonan hurriedly slipped a bar of gold to a eunuch nearby, who then entered the palace.

"How preposterous, not even capable of making two-star Spirit Food, yet claiming to have exceptional skills. Emperor Longteng and Master Ji must be tired of living."

In front of the palace, Emperor Longteng stood with his hands behind his back, his face filled with rage, and Empress Feng stood by his side, not daring to make a sound.

To think that such a scandal occurred last night in the Imperial Palace. If it weren’t for the fact that the person involved was Chu Tianyi, the second son of the Chu Family and Chu Beiqing’s younger brother, he would have been chopped countless times already.

"Emperor, please calm your anger. Chu Tianyi has always been loyal to his duties. This time, he must have been deceived by others. Those over a dozen people in the Cold Palace, I have already ordered them to be dealt with. The news has also been sealed. Besides Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Chu Family, I believe not many people are aware of this matter."

Empress Feng spoke gently.

Emperor Longteng did not respond.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Chu Beiqing and his daughter Xin Lin, Chu Zhaonan, and Chu Miaoyun are outside seeking an audience."

"The Chu Family’s people have finally come to plead with me."

Emperor Longteng’s expression softened slightly when he heard Chu Beiqing’s name.

Since the last Zixiao Palace Exam, Emperor Longteng had not seen Chu Beiqing for many days.

Emperor Longteng had summoned him multiple times, but each time the response was that Chu Beiqing was unwilling to come.

Since Chu Beiqing had his daughter, he may still appear frivolous, but it’s as if he has become a different person.

Something within Emperor Longteng was displeased.

"Emperor, the Chu Family people have come to plead. What do you plan to do? Although I know the Emperor will not truly make things difficult for the Chu Family, we cannot just let this go. The Emperor, who sits in Court, might be unaware that Chu Beiqing’s daughter, while relying on the Emperor’s favoritism towards her father, is causing trouble at Qingtian Academy."

When Empress Feng heard Xin Lin’s name, her brows furrowed, and she thought of the matter with Chen You; she also had heard of it.
