The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1245 - 1239: Chu Beiqing’s Testimony

Xin Lin had not yet reacted to who her father was talking about.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Longteng’s expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed.

"Beiqing, are you referring to... General Shi?"

Xin Lin was slightly stunned upon hearing this, glancing at her foolish father.

Chu Beiqing seemed to understand half and half, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding.

"He’s a fool... his mind doesn’t work well, how could he know how to describe."

Empress Feng said from the side, casting a sidelong glance at Chu Beiqing with an inscrutable expression in her eyes.

"Someone, go get the portrait."

Emperor Longteng ordered the eunuch to fetch the portrait.

Back then, General Shi betrayed the country and was once wanted.

The palace still had his portrait; Emperor Longteng had seen General Shi last night dressed in the attire from when he was captured, donned in armor with a beard.

The portrait was quickly brought out and unfurled.

Upon seeing it, Chu Beiqing hurriedly nodded.

"Him... just... him... pushed... me..."

Saying this, Chu Beiqing made a struggling motion, gesticulating as if drowning.

"It’s really General Shi?"

Xin Lin was also full of astonishment.

She murmured softly.

"But wasn’t it said that Lady Shifei’s ghost fetus was already removed, logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any ghosts in the palace anymore."

"Chu Beiqing, could you be mistaken? How could it possibly be General Shi."

Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan, mother and son, were equally shocked.

Especially Long Qingxuan, doubt deepened in his eyes.

The mother and son were well aware there was no such person as General Shi.

But Chu Beiqing was a fool, having barely escaped death, so he couldn’t be lying.

"Beiqing wouldn’t lie. Someone, I want to go see Lady Shi."

Emperor Longteng’s expression grew complicated.

He had always believed that the ghost fetus in Lady Shi’s belly was General Shi.

Yet the ghost fetus had been removed; he had seen the fetus turn into a pool of blood with his own eyes, yet General Shi reappeared and attempted to kill Chu Beiqing.

Clearly, General Shi’s ghost had not dissipated.

Only Lady Shi knew his whereabouts.

"Your Majesty, Lady Shi has been insane since she lost her child, it’s better to let the Ministry of Justice interrogate her."

Empress Feng advised from the side.

"Let the people from the Imperial Clan’s Court go; she is ultimately my concubine."

Emperor Longteng sighed.

"Beiqing, Xin Lin, you two have been frightened today; especially Xin Lin, you accomplished a great deed today."

Seeing Chu Beiqing alive after such a close brush with death, Emperor Longteng was very pleased.

He held Chu Beiqing’s hand, speaking with the father and daughter, and left Chunhua Palace Garden.

Empress Feng and Long Qingxuan didn’t leave.

Empress Feng waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to retreat.

"My son, what is actually going on? Didn’t you say it was all settled? How did this involve Chu Beiqing?"

Empress Feng asked anxiously.

Originally, it was thought that the matter concerning Lady Shi and her child had already concluded.

Who knew, another complication arose.

As for the Imperial Clan’s Court, she couldn’t insert her people there.

"Mother, it wasn’t you who made a move?"

Long Qingxuan asked curiously.

Earlier on, he thought it was Empress Feng who had ordered the action.

"If I wanted to kill him, there would have been plenty of opportunities over the years; he’s merely a fool. I have no reason to dirty my own hands."

Empress Feng sighed.

"Then the matter is quite peculiar. Allow me to investigate further. Maybe it’s Chu Beiqing who lied."

Long Qingxuan said, as he approached the ancient well.

Water splashes had scattered all over the ground near the well; Long Qingxuan mumbled silently, and a burst of Treasure Light flickered, with the Demon Extermination Bowl already in his hand.

Chu Beiqing held the Demon Extermination Bowl in his hands, muttering words.
