Chapter 1235 - 1229: Entering the Palace to Rescue
Xin Lin looked around and only then did she sense the presence of the ghost soldiers.
Gui Hu’s ghost soldiers, though not afraid of sunlight, are still ghosts and cannot absorb too much yang energy.
He hid under the eaves of the School Clinic, waiting for Xin Lin for a while.
"Aren’t you a ghost soldier from Lady Shifei’s side? Why are you out here?"
Xin Lin recognized the ghost soldier.
The ghost soldier quickly told Xin Lin what happened last night.
Upon hearing this, Xin Lin’s expression changed dramatically.
"Something so big happened in the palace, why didn’t anyone report it? Where is Little Xinzhuo?"
Although Xin Lin had heard about the ghost trouble in the palace, she didn’t expect that in one night, Lady Shifei...
"The palace gates and walls are all set with Evil Exorcism Flags, we can’t leave the palace, the Seventh Prince is imprisoned in the palace, no one can leave until after the End of Year Assessment."
The ghost soldier took the chance when the Evil Exorcism Flag was removed to deliver the message.
"This must be the doing of Long Qingxuan. How is Lady Shifei?"
Compared to Xin Zhuo, Xin Lin was more worried about Lady Shifei.
Since Little Xinzhuo was chosen as a hostage, Emperor Longteng would not harm him, other than restricting his freedom.
But Lady Shifei is different; she was accused of carrying a ghost fetus, a charge that is difficult to clear unless Xin Lin finds solid evidence.
She’s now held in the Heavenly Prison, her condition unknown, and she just had a miscarriage, who knows if she can hold on.
"The area around the Heavenly Prison is also set with Evil Exorcism Flags, we have no way to enter. After she was sent in, there hasn’t been any news."
The ghost soldiers were helpless.
"I must go to the palace."
Xin Lin thought for a moment and immediately took her medicine box and headed to the Imperial Palace.
Halfway there, she turned back and brought along her foolish father.
At the palace gate, several guards stopped Xin Lin.
"My father wants to see the Emperor."
Xin Lin pointed to Chu Beiqing beside her.
Chu Beiqing was well-behaved and nodded.
"See...the Emperor... Beibei...misses the Emperor."
"Princess, the Emperor caught a cold last night, and the Imperial Physician is still diagnosing, nobody can see him right now. You both should return."
The guards blocked Xin Lin and the others outside.
Seeing even Chu Beiqing couldn’t enter the palace, Xin Lin frowned.
At that moment, an elderly nanny hurriedly came out of the palace.
"Princess, you’ve come, the Empress Dowager is inviting you in, saying she hasn’t had your pastries in a long time."
Xin Lin recognized the old nanny as someone from the Empress Dowager’s side.
"I miss the Empress Dowager too, then please lead me and my father to make pastries for the Empress Dowager."
Xin Lin was delighted, the Empress Dowager came just in time.
The guards, seeing this, could only let Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing into the palace.
The old nanny led Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing to the Empress Dowager’s quarters.
"Empress Dowager, please save Lady Shifei and Little Xinzhuo."
Upon seeing the Empress Dowager, Xin Lin quickly explained her purpose.
The Empress Dowager sighed, for she already knew Xin Lin’s intent, Little Xinzhuo had come to appeal in the morning.
"Xin Lin, I know you want to save them, but this time, Lady Shifei committed a heinous crime, pregnant with a ghost fetus, bringing calamity to the Imperial Palace, I can’t protect her even if I wanted to."
The Empress Dowager’s response was the same.
The ghostly incidents made such a stir in the entire Imperial Palace.
The Empress Dowager originally didn’t believe that such a thing could be related to the gentle Lady Shifei.
But Emperor Longteng witnessed it himself, which explains everything.
Disrupting the harem, harming the royal offspring, Lady Shifei could not escape death.
