The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 995 - 993: Xin Lin Arrives

The one who ties the bell must untie it.

The Empress knows all too well the nature of Shi Pin and her son.

Back then, she could easily drive Shi Pin out of the Imperial Palace, so naturally, she has methods to make it impossible for them to stay in the palace.

But since Shi Pin and her son have Xin Lin behind them, things have changed.

Shi Pin has learned to bare her fangs and claws and is even backed by the Empress Dowager.

Little Xinzhuo, too, has been advancing in cultivation as if on a cheat mode.

Not only that, but Xin Lin is also a bringer of misfortune; any event with her presence goes awry.

Empress Feng was incensed at the thought.

Taking this opportunity, she intends to directly eliminate Xin Lin, the thorn in her side.

Shi Pin and Little Xinzhuo gasped; Empress Feng finally revealed her true intentions.

Her target was not Little Xinzhuo or Shi Pin, but Xin Lin.

The Empress Dowager protects her own; since it’s Royal blood and the Third Prince hasn’t truly lost his life, if investigated, at most, Shi Pin would be alienated, and Little Xinzhuo confined.

But Xin Lin is different.

She is not of Royal blood, and now that the Chu Mansion no longer enjoys the imperial favor, if the Empress Dowager truly pursues the matter, it won’t be just a simple punishment for Xin Lin.

"This matter has nothing to do with my sister!"

Little Xinzhuo lifted his head defiantly.

"Seventh Prince, you truly consider her your sister? How can the blood of a mere countrywoman bear the noble title of our Royal bloodline?"

Empress Feng’s eyes sharpened.

Little Xinzhuo was about to argue, but Shi Pin pulled him into her arms.

"The Xin Lin you speak of, is she Bei Qing’s daughter?"

After a long silence, the Empress Dowager finally spoke.

"Grand Empress, indeed she is. That Xin Lin is extremely arrogant; when she was in Qingtian Academy, she insulted a dignitary of the Xuantian Sect and even injured Chen. She has bullied both Grandson and Jin Chen. Despite being one with blocked Five Meridians, the reason she dares to be so arrogant is entirely because Father Emperor feels indebted to her foolish father."

Long Qingchen eagerly added fuel to the fire.

"Long Qingchen, you are talking nonsense, my sister... Xin Lin is not that kind of person at all."

Little Xinzhuo couldn’t help but refute.

"Grand Empress, Brother Qi did tell me that the information about the Rainbow Dragon Trout was given by Xin Lin. That day, I personally saw Xin Lin prepare Rainbow Dragon Trout for Brother Qi, and he improved his cultivation as a result. She even forbade me to eat the Rainbow Dragon Trout."

Long Jin hastily added.

Upon reflection, Long Jin thought, everyone else ate the Rainbow Dragon Trout without issue, but it upset his stomach alone.

It must be that Xin Lin did something behind the scenes, not wanting him to eat the Rainbow Dragon Trout and improve his cultivation.

"Long Jin! How shameless you are, my sister was so kind to you, yet you say she wouldn’t let you eat fish. I must be blind to have considered you a good brother."

Little Xinzhuo was furious.

He hated himself for being so blind, misjudging Long Jin, and bringing such trouble upon his sister.

"Enough. Whether true or false, we can call Xin Lin here to question her. Go outside and summon the Commander of the Imperial Army. Tell him that I wish to question Xin Lin. If she doesn’t comply, bring her in by force." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The Empress Dowager raised her hand, gesturing for the brothers to stop arguing.

Shi Pin’s eyes were filled with worry, while Empress Feng and Consort Zhao secretly rejoiced.

It seemed that the Empress Dowager was not going to let Xin Lin off this time.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Princess Xin Lin seeks an audience outside."

Before the Commander of the Imperial Army, Captain Yang, could arrive, an eunuch came to report.
