Chapter 1188: Chapter 1182: Ghost Energy in the Demon Extermination Bowl

Xin Lin walked out of the palace gate and saw a chariot parked at the entrance.

When she came in earlier, there had been no chariot.

Xin Lin’s eyes darkened slightly.

"Princess."

Behind her, Captain Yang walked over. It happened to be his turn on patrol; seeing Xin Lin, he stepped forward to greet her.

"Captain Yang, this carriage is?"

Xin Lin pointed at the chariot.

"It’s the Crown Prince’s chariot. He went to the Empress’s palace."

Captain Yang said casually.

The people in the Imperial Palace had always thought highly of the Crown Prince. He was much more amiable than the Third Prince.

Long Qingxuan, huh?

Xin Lin glanced at the chariot, her expression unreadable, and left the palace.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Long Qingxuan and Empress Feng sat side by side. Empress Feng asked in surprise,

"My son, what do you want these things for?"

On the desk lay a few strands of Shi Fei’s hair, which Empress Feng had taken from Shi Fei’s bedchamber earlier that day.

Empress Feng would, of course, never go show concern for no reason.

She had sought out Shi Fei with another purpose in mind.

When Long Qingxuan returned to the palace last time, he’d told her to find methods to—

Long Qingxuan was still holding a piece of clothing. From the style, it was clearly a Qingtian Academy uniform.

"Mother, haven’t you always disliked Shi Fei? Naturally, your son has to ease Mother’s worries."

Long Qingxuan smiled.

"That’s true, but what use are a few strands of hair and a piece of clothing?"

Empress Feng said in astonishment.

"Mother, those tricks you use in the harem won’t work on Shi Fei. Father is doting on her now, and the Empress Dowager likes her very much as well. Added to that, Seventh Prince’s talent truly isn’t bad. If you make a move while she’s pregnant, and something goes wrong, you might even bring disaster upon yourself."

Long Qingxuan lightly tapped the Academy robe.

"Then what should we do? Are we to let that bitch give birth? Not getting rid of their mother and son outside the palace back then was already the greatest mistake."

Empress Feng said displeasedly.

She would absolutely not allow Shi Fei’s child to remain in the palace.

Long Xinzhuo could not stay, and the one in her belly could not stay either.

"But how do we get rid of them?"

Empress Feng asked in confusion.

"The way you drove their mother and son out last time, you’ll drive them out the same way now."

Long Qingxuan was still all smiles, but between his brows, the viciousness had replaced the elegant gentleness he showed others.

"But there is no pretext now. How do we drive them out? The Emperor has already acknowledged Xin Zhuo as his offspring."

Empress Feng gnashed her teeth.

"All the more reason to do exactly as I’ve said."

After speaking, Long Qingxuan took out the Demon Extermination Bowl.

Empress Feng recognized it at a glance; this bowl was the treasure of the Taichang Holy Institute.

Looking closely into the Demon Extermination Bowl, there were a few wisps of black air, swimming around like tiny tadpoles, looking very lively.

"These are?"

Empress Feng was a little curious and was just about to reach out and touch those little tadpoles.

"Mother! This is Ghost Energy."

Long Qingxuan stopped Empress Feng.

At the word "Ghost Energy," Empress Feng’s face changed at once.

Ghost Energy!

"Why did you bring such filthy things into the palace!"

Empress Feng was startled.

"These were taken from those students of Gu Feng Academy. Earlier, they were entangled by a Ghost General and became deranged, like half-wits."

Long Qingxuan said blandly.

"And what does that have to do with Shi Fei and her son?"

Empress Feng asked, puzzled.

After her son joined the Taichang Holy Institute, he became very mysterious and strange. Empress Feng could no longer understand what he said or did.

"Like attracts like. Ghost Energy will seek out where the ghost resides."

With that, Long Qingxuan moved the Demon Extermination Bowl, and the few wisps of Ghost Energy inside were released.

The Ghost Energy drifted about outside for a moment. It first lingered for a while among Shi Fei’s hair, then lingered for a while among Little Xinzhuo’s clothes. Immediately after, the Ghost Energy split into two, settling respectively on the hair and on the clothes.
