Chapter 296 - 295: Strife Among Women!
Clothes tattered and torn, head bloodied, and face scratched by claw marks, Third Prince Long Qingchen had never been in such a pitiful state since he was born.
Seeing his appearance, Empress Feng’s heart tightened, and she stood up abruptly.
"My son, how did you end up like this?"
Empress Feng was heartbroken, quickly ordering Grand Doctor Chu to check on Long Qingchen.
"It was them, it was Chu Beiqing and Xin Lin who ganged up to beat your son!"
Long Qingchen’s eyes were red with fury, pointing behind him.
On his way here, he had just heard from his subordinates that Xin Lin was actually the idiot’s daughter.
No wonder she was so fearless, daring to strike even a prince.
But she really thinks that by recognizing her father, she can turn into a phoenix and ascend the branches, to live her grand dreams.
She doesn’t see that Longteng Country bears the surname Long, not Chu!
His father is the Emperor, his mother is the Empress, and she is just an idiot’s daughter, her mother a village girl!
Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo, Chu Beiqing, Captain Yang, and others just happened to walk in.
Empress Feng’s gaze was like lightning, falling on Chu Beiqing and his daughter.
Empress Feng’s gaze dimmed, she choked up and knelt down, her eyes brimming with tears, a picture of pity.
"Your Majesty, please stand up for my son. Although Qingchen is incompetent, he is still a royal descendant, how can he be bullied by others indiscriminately. He is the son I bore after ten months of pregnancy; when he is hurt, the pain is in his mother."
Xin Lin saw this and silently applauded Empress Feng in her heart.
A true character! If soft tactics don’t work, she switches to hard.
Empress Feng must have seen that Emperor Longteng is utterly biased towards Chu Beiqing.
Without employing some act of self-victimization or playing the beauty card, Emperor Longteng would certainly not pursue the matter.
Emperor Longteng saw Empress Feng crying pitifully, tears streaming down like pear blossoms in the rain.
However... crying pitifully, right? But she’s not the only one who can do that.
"Your Majesty, this humble girl has something to say."
Xin Lin’s nose was red, her large eyes misted with a layer of tears, looking like a little white rabbit.
Seeing her like that, Long Qingchen ground his teeth in frustration.
Could she act any more hypocritically? She’s a fierce tigress in front of me, but in front of my father, she plays the little white rabbit!
Emperor Longteng waved his hand, indicating for Xin Lin to continue.
"Your Majesty must first pardon this humble girl of the crime of deceiving the emperor before I dare speak."
Xin Lin sobbed heavily.
In the midst of speaking, Xin Lin’s "little claws" swiftly pinched her foolish father’s waist.
Chu Beiqing grimaced in pain, his eyes reddened, and tears began to fall.
"Pain...my daughter...it hurts..."
Chu Beiqing looked tearfully at his own daughter, not understanding why she would pinch him.
"I pardon you, you may speak," said the Emperor.
Emperor Longteng looked from Chu Beiqing to Xin Lin.
He suddenly felt a surge of sorrow, feeling pity for Bei Qing who hadn’t seen his own daughter in fourteen years.
This meeting, even the fool feels guilty, feeling heartache is natural.
He’s a fool, how could he understand anything about princes?
Such is the heart of a parent under Heaven!
Empress Feng’s mouth twitched.
Had she met her match?
Word fight against word fight?
It appeared she was losing.
She knew it, Xin Lin was no good sort.
"Your Majesty, it was the Third Prince who started it. He... he tried to harm the critically injured Little Xinzhuo!"
Xin Lin wiped her tears and gave Little Xinzhuo a significant look.
Little Xinzhuo, born from the Protect Sister Demon Sect, knelt before Emperor Longteng.
"Nonsense! Why would I harm an insignificant commoner!"
Long Qingchen was infuriated, flatly denying it.
"That’s because you discovered his true identity!"
Xin Lin exclaimed loudly.
