Free Web NovelChapter 1251: Chapter 1245: Ghost Energy That Cannot Be Suppressed
Seeing Empress Feng in such a state, Long Qingxuan couldn’t help but sigh.
He stepped forward and embraced Empress Feng.
"Mother, don’t be too sad. You and Father will have more children in the future."
"What do you know? That child was different!"
Empress Feng’s voice changed, and she pushed Long Qingxuan away.
Her hysterical appearance was like a mad woman, completely unlike her usual dignified and noble self, even Long Qingxuan was momentarily stunned.
Empress Feng realized she had lost her composure and started to sob quietly.
"My son, I’ve been too heartbroken, that’s why... You don’t understand, ever since I gave birth to you and Qingchen, my health hasn’t been the same. All these years, I haven’t been able to conceive. This child, I’ve waited for over ten years... Just now, you wouldn’t let me tell your father about the Ghost Energy, and I was briefly furious because of that..."
Empress Feng wiped the corners of her eyes.
She truly couldn’t understand why, just now when Emperor Longteng asked about the miscarriage, she clearly could have said it was due to the Ghost Energy, yet Long Qingxuan stopped her and merely told Emperor Longteng that Empress Feng accidentally fell.
Although Empress Feng wasn’t a powerful Martial Artist, she had learned some martial arts and wasn’t that clumsy.
Emperor Longteng heard this and merely assumed it was because Empress Feng had been startled by ghosts recently, so he didn’t suspect anything.
"Mother, I understand. It was my fault for not being able to protect you and the child. However, I said what I did out of concern. Mother, have you forgotten about what happened today with Chu Beiqing?"
Long Qingxuan, with his meticulous mind, knew Empress Feng was disoriented by the child’s issue and hadn’t considered everything thoroughly. As her son, he naturally had to be supportive.
"Yes, it’s all because of Chu Beiqing. What grudge do I have with him? He has been opposing me all along, and now it’s still the same. If it weren’t for him, my child wouldn’t have been lost."
Empress Feng gritted her teeth.
"Mother, Chu Beiqing drowned and saw General Shi. Father has already started to suspect, and the haunting is not over yet. The Ghost Energy in the Demon Extermination Bowl is extremely powerful. Even I am not its match, which means Chu Beiqing was indeed pushed into the well by a ghost. If father finds out that your child was also affected by the Ghost Energy, he’ll certainly discover that Shi Fei was framed and the Ghost General is someone else."
Long Qingxuan was worried that if Emperor Longteng continued to investigate, everything he and Empress Feng had arranged earlier would be exposed.
Empress Feng’s face turned pale, starting to show fear.
"Son, even you can’t handle that trace of Ghost Energy? It’s... it’s still in the Chunhua Palace Garden, could it really be General Shi’s victims? Didn’t you use your Demon Extermination Bowl to suppress it?"
"Mother, you’ve overestimated me. That Ghost Energy is at least at the Ghost General Level. My Demon Extermination Bowl can only temporarily restrain it, it can’t even purify it, let alone suppress it."
Long Qingxuan said with a bitter smile. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Currently, the Demon Extermination Bowl is being used to restrain that trace of Ghost Energy, and he has lost his Treasure to subdue demons.
He was most worried that the Ghost Energy was just a part of the Ghost General’s power.
If the Ghost General appeared at this time, he feared he would be difficult to deal with.
"Son, do you think maybe we’ve made things worse this time? Is it possible that the Ghost General is actually General Shi’s spirit? His victims are restless, having learned what we did to harm Shi Fei’s mother and son, they’re coming for revenge?"
Empress Feng mumbled, her voice growing softer.
"Mother, don’t say such things, General Shi has been dead for years. If haunting were to happen, it should have occurred long ago."
Long Qingxuan was stirred upon hearing this.
