Chapter 1237 - 1231: Shi Fei Out of Sorts
The Heavenly Prison was damp and cold; Xin Lin bid farewell to Captain Yang and entered the prison.
Inside the cell, a rotten stench assaulted her senses.
Shi Fei was held in the women’s prison cell.
She still wore the consort robe, its blood stains shocking to behold.
When Xin Lin arrived, she was curled up in the corner, motionless; even as Xin Lin entered, she had no reaction.
"Lady Shifei..."
Xin Lin called softly.
Shi Fei did not respond.
"Don’t bother, she’s been here for half a day without saying a word, not drinking water or eating. Looks like she won’t last more than two or three days. She refuses to change clothes; get close, and she bites like she’s gone mad."
The female prison guard said irritably.
While speaking, Shi Fei seemed like a wooden figure, indifferent to the outside world.
Xin Lin called twice more, but there was still no reaction.
"Shi Fei, I know you can hear my voice. I’m very sorry about what happened last night."
Xin Lin looked at Shi Fei’s flat belly and blood-stained clothes, her voice a bit choked.
That gentle and graceful woman seemed to have withered in a single night, as if all her vitality was drained.
Xin Lin remembered when Shi Fei first learned she was expecting, her face was filled with joy.
She disregarded Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo’s dissuasion, sewing tiny clothes.
She had always wanted a daughter, a daughter like Xin Lin.
Yet all of this was cruelly destroyed.
She lost her daughter, and her love.
Soon after, she would even lose her only son.
The current Shi Fei was like the living dead.
In her mind, she could not forget that moment when Emperor Longteng kicked her away.
The scene of her child dissolving into blood.
They said it was a ghost fetus.
How could that be a ghost fetus; it was her child.
She clutched her flat belly as if her daughter were still within.
Xin Lin hesitated for a moment and called softly.
"Mother?"
Shi Fei’s body moved slightly, and beneath her long black hair, her eyes seemed to flicker.
"Mother, if you’re willing, let me call you Mother. You once said you wanted a daughter; from now on, I am your daughter. You still have a daughter, you still have Little Xinzhuo, you still have me. Tell me, who bullied you? I’ll help you take revenge! Tell me!"
Xin Lin took Shi Fei’s hand, placing it on her face.
Shi Fei’s eyelashes trembled, a glimmer of sparkle.
Tears overflowed, and she sobbed a few times.
"Little Lin, I... I... my child is gone, I..."
Shi Fei sobbed uncontrollably, the pain and sorrow suppressed in her heart transformed into a torrent of tears, spilling forth.
Xin Lin held her in her arms, letting the tears flow freely.
After a while, Shi Fei calmed down.
"Xin Lin, you shouldn’t have come, now Empress Feng’s people have their eyes on you."
Shi Fei, after venting, felt much more relaxed.
Seeing Xin Lin, she felt a sense of peace.
At least, Xin Lin would do everything possible to save Little Xinzhuo.
As long as Little Xinzhuo was safe, she could be at ease.
"Shi Fei, I’ve come to ask about this matter. How did your fetus...? I clearly checked and there was no issue."
What puzzled Xin Lin the most was this.
Long Qingxuan had brought monks into the palace, and the Demon Extermination Bowl declared Shi Fei’s unborn child a ghost fetus.
"I don’t know; truly, I know nothing. I had no idea about any ghost fetus. That night, the Imperial Study Room was haunted; I had just awakened when someone rushed in."
Shi Fei recalled.
