The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1268: Haunted Again

Xin Lin thought for a moment, changed into clean clothes, and quickly left Qingtian Academy.

It wasn’t long before Xin Lin entered Purple Cloud City.

But this time, she didn’t go to the Imperial Palace; instead, she went in another direction within Purple Cloud City.

Inside the Heavenly Prison, Shi Fei leaned against the corner.

"Time to eat."

Not until nightfall did a bowl of cold water and a stale bun get tossed in.

That’s how it has been these days.

The prison guard didn’t torture Shi Fei, but constantly spoke coldly to her.

She only received one meal a day, much worse than other prisoners.

Shi Fei was weak and short of breath after her miscarriage, and with the terrible conditions of the prison, everyone thought she wouldn’t last a few days.

But she somehow persevered; aside from her pale complexion, she showed no other abnormalities.

Shi Fei hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the cold water and stale bun.

The prison guard watched Shi Fei retreat to the corner again, muttering under his breath.

"Surviving even this, what a strong fate."

Once the guard left, Shi Fei carefully poured the cold water into the corner and hid the bun.

She secretly drank a sip from the Jade Pure Spring.

The spring water was sweet, with a hint of Golden Honey.

Shi Fei had been relying on drinking the honey-infused Jade Pure Spring these days; Xin Lin had warned her not to touch the food or water in the cell.

The bun she hid was nibbled by a few greedy rats; the rats died that night, and Shi Fei knew someone was trying to poison her.

Her nature was very gentle, but enduring the miscarriage made her much tougher.

The more they wanted to harm her, the more she wanted to live.

At that moment, outside the cell, there was a sound of chains, and a strong fragrance of cosmetics wafted in.

"Oh, isn’t this Sister Shi Fei? I’m here to visit you."

Consort Zhao walked in, adorned with glittering jewels.

Shi Fei remained silent.

"Tut tut tut, look at you, your face is so pale without a hint of blood, you must’ve suffered greatly."

Consort Zhao reached out her hand, painted with nail polish, trying to touch Shi Fei’s face, but Shi Fei turned away silently.

"Are you mute now? Hey, at least we shared the bond of sisterhood, seeing you like this makes me also quite upset."

Consort Zhao pretended to lament.

Shi Fei still didn’t respond.

As Shi Fei was about to say something, suddenly a rat leaped out, landing on her foot; she screamed sharply and hastily ran out of the Heavenly Prison.

"What a godforsaken place, scares me to death."

Consort Zhao glanced at the prison guard.

The prison guard shook his head.

Consort Zhao snorted coldly, after all these days, still unable to poison that woman, she couldn’t believe it — how could that woman survive without eating or drinking?

Consort Zhao stormed out of the Heavenly Prison, furious.

"That woman remains a threat, I must find a way to get rid of her."

A flash of malice crossed Consort Zhao’s eyes.

She pondered over how to strike without leaving any trace.

After a few steps, a mist suddenly arose ahead.

"This damn weather, at night, what’s with this fog? It’s suffocating."

Consort Zhao complained, looking around.

She noticed the fog was particularly thick tonight, blurring the scenery around her, making it difficult to see. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"Someone come light the lamps, with such heavy fog, are you all pretending to be dead?"

Consort Zhao chided irritably. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Behind her, there was no response.

Startled, Consort Zhao turned to look, but no palace maid was in sight.
