The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 993 - 991: Xin Zhuo’s Resolve

"Brother Qi, you’ve really put me in a bad spot. You clearly knew that the Rainbow Dragon Trout was vicious, yet you deliberately urged me and Brother Three to go after it. Isn’t this you harming us?"

Long Jin cried and trembled, looking utterly terrified.

In just a few words, he completely shifted the blame.

He also hated Long Xinzhuo intensely in his heart.

That damned Long Xinzhuo nearly got him killed.

Outwardly, he appeared brotherly, but secretly he was prompting him to catch the spirit fish.

That spirit fish almost took the lives of the Third Prince and Jin Chen; all other martial artist cultivations greater than his who went ended up dead.

Luckily he didn’t trust blindly and went after the fish; otherwise, whether he’d return alive was still uncertain.

"Empress Dowager, you both saw and heard it; Jin is innocent, it was Little Qi who urged him. My prince is very timid and afraid of trouble, how could he have a wicked intention."

Consort Zhao quickly chimed in.

The mother and son exchanged words, Little Xinzhuo’s face was bleak, yet he couldn’t utter a single word.

"Well, Little Eight, I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me like this! Now I understand, you must be jealous of my talents, planning to have me eaten by the fish to become the most gifted among the princes, to take my place. You’re so malicious at your young age, what won’t you do when you grow up!"

Long Qingchen also gnashed his teeth in anger.

He had originally reached great success in the Xuan Transformation Realm, but this time, due to injury, his cultivation fell back to the Xuan Transformation Realm.

The Imperial Physician said that despite efforts to recover and taking elixir pills, it’s difficult to return to the previous level within two months, and these two months he must not cultivate.

Thinking about this made his teeth itch with hatred.

"Third Prince, I..."

Little Xinzhuo wanted to explain, but how should he explain?

He learned about the Rainbow Dragon Trout only through Sister.

If he confessed everything, it would plunge Sister into deep trouble.

After all, Sister wasn’t of royal bloodline; if she was accused of harming a prince, Empress Feng’s people would increasingly add insult to injury.

If he admitted the blame, at most he’d be stripped of his prince status and severely punished.

Long Xinzhuo thought of this and remained silent.

"What, can’t say a word now, can you? Grand Empress, you must stand up for your grandson!"

Long Qingchen clamored again.

The Empress Dowager frowned, staring at Little Xinzhuo.

"Little Qi, did you really plot to harm your Third Brother?"

Little Xinzhuo still remained silent.

"Seventh Prince, I also doubt it greatly, given your young age, you shouldn’t have such a malicious nature. Is someone behind the scenes directing you to do this? If you confess, I can stand up for you. Otherwise, not only you, but even your mother will be implicated."

Empress Feng also guided persuasively.

Little Xinzhuo’s body trembled.

His greatest fear was burdening his mother.

His mother was frail; besides Sister, the most important person in this world to him was his mother.

"Seventh Prince, just speak up. Who’s been instructing you to harm the Third Prince, disclose it, and it will benefit both you and Teacher Sister."

Consort Zhao also urged aside.

Shi Pin looked at the pale-faced Little Xinzhuo, vaguely guessing something in her heart; then she glanced at the group of women beside her, aggressive like tigers.
