Chapter 1238: Chapter 1232: Gui Hu’s Ghost Energy
Long Qingxuan burst in with his men.
Without a word, they seized Shi Fei.
In Long Qingxuan’s hand, he held a golden bowl.
Once the golden bowl entered the Shanyu Palace, it emitted a powerful golden light.
Soon after, Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng, along with a group of concubines, entered.
Seeing the glowing golden bowl, the Emperor’s face turned grim.
Afterward, they drew Shi Fei’s blood, which, upon touching the Demon Extermination Bowl, released wisps of dark energy.
"The Crown Prince said I’m human, and the problem lies with my fetus, saying it’s a ghost fetus."
Shi Fei recalled the scene, her heart aching.
At that time, she hadn’t recovered from the shock and wanted to defend herself, but Emperor Longteng became furious, accusing her of the same rebelliousness as General Shi, intent on usurping the throne.
Empress Feng proposed that the ghost fetus should be eradicated before it was born.
She ordered her people to step forward and cane Shi Fei.
Shi Fei wanted to argue, but those people gave her no chance.
"What a treacherous Empress Feng... And Long Qingxuan, I thought that since he hails from the Taichang Holy Institute, he would at least know right from wrong. I never expected him to collude with Empress Feng to harm the innocent."
Xin Lin said coldly.
"I only found out later that the Emperor saw my father that night, who came seeking his life."
Shi Fei smiled bitterly.
It was then that she realized in Emperor Longteng’s mind, she was nothing but a remnant of the Shi family, deserving of her fate.
Pitiful for her innocent child...
"The most important issue now is the fetus. What exactly is the ghost fetus?"
Xin Lin was also infuriated, but she knew the only solution was to focus on the root of the issue; the ghost fetus was the crux of this injustice.
"The fetus is gone, so there’s no way to investigate it. I... I couldn’t even protect my own child. I’m a failure as a mother."
Shi Fei murmured to herself.
"Maybe not, even if the fetus is gone, it might have left something behind."
Xin Lin pondered.
Shi Fei was puzzled.
At that moment, Captain Yang entered.
"Princess, what you asked for has been brought, but... what do you need this for?"
Captain Yang said, handing over a small bottle.
Shi Fei looked confused and glanced at Xin Lin.
"Inside is your blood. It was collected by Little Xinzhuo, and I asked Captain Yang to bring it to me."
Xin Lin explained.
Last night, before leaving Shanyu Palace, Little Xinzhuo collected some of the blood from the ground.
He did so with foresight, believing it might aid his sister.
There was no trace of ghost energy on Shi Fei, as the fetus was no more.
And that poor, unformed fetus had already turned into a pool of blood.
This blood was in the bottle held by Xin Lin.
Xin Lin opened the bottle and took a close look.
What she saw deepened her gaze.
Ghost energy, very dense ghost energy.
And the ghost energy was familiar to Xin Lin; it belonged to Gui Hu, and because it was not very pure, it was detected by the Demon Extermination Bowl.
"Pride Corpse, what’s going on here?"
Xin Lin asked sharply.
"I didn’t lay a finger on her. If I’m not mistaken, the ghost energy comes from those students of Gu Feng Academy."
Gui Hu said coldly.
Long Qingxuan was indeed cunning, able to extract ghost energy.
Once the ghost energy was extracted, it could be used for personal gain. It was evident that the fetus in Shi Fei’s belly was contaminated with ghost energy because Long Qingxuan secretly implanted it in her.
Xin Lin’s eyes sharpened, and she stood up abruptly.
"Little Lin, where are you going?"
Shi Fei exclaimed.
"To find Long Qingxuan!"
With that, Xin Lin stormed out of the Heavenly Prison.
