Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter-Chapter 218 - Seeing the True Essence, Deformed Fetus and Snake Demon
Zi You nodded and smiled lazily. “For example, if a woman is pregnant, I can see if she’s pregnant with a boy or girl and if it’s a single child or twins. And I can clearly see it ff someone has some swelling on his body.”
“You have such an ability?” The Empress Dowager immediately became curious.
Shangguan LingRan (Eleventh martial nephew Yi He) immediately whispered into her ear.
The Empress Dowager nodded and smiled at Zi You. “Then take a look at your mother. Is she pregnant with a boy or a girl? Is it one child or twins?”
“Yes, Empress Dowager.” Zi You instantly focused her spiritual power in her eyes.
At this time, her back was to the Emperor and she faced the officials and their families.
They exclaimed in shock when they saw her eyes gradually turn purple. “Heavens! Mu Xiaojie’s eyes turned purple……”
“Wow! So beautiful……”
The Emperor anxiously pushed his dragon chair away and walked over to Zi You.
He also widened his peach blossom eyes in amazement! Her eyes were like dazzling purple amethysts in water that emitted an enchanting beauty.
Everyone was focused on Zi You’s eyes, but Zi You frowned and shouted, “Ah!”
The Emperor instantly asked, “What’s wrong? What did you see?”
Zi You pretended to shake in horror. She shook her head, as if she didn’t want to say it.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were worried. They urged in unison, “Say it. What is it?”
Zi You looked like she was in a difficult spot as she looked at Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui. A long time after the Emperor urged her again, she whispered, “It’s a girl. But the baby isn’t normal. She…… She is a deformed fetus with two heads, three arms, and three legs.”
How shocking! Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui instantly looked ashen.
Wang Yiping couldn’t hold back anymore and angrily scolded, “Mu Zi You, you can hate me, but this is your younger brother. You can’t hurt him like this. You’re really as poisonous as a snake!”
Then she collapsed on the table and silently cried. Her weak and helpless appearance suddenly attracted a lot of people’s sympathy.
No wonder there were rumors that Old General Mu, Zi You, Mu YingYi, and Nee Liu bullied the stepmother Wang Yiping. They pinned her nanny’s crimes on her and beat her until her leg was wasted.
These rumors didn’t seem false. At the very least, Wang Yiping was Zi You’s stepmother. No matter what, Mu Zi You couldn’t publicly slander her unborn child as a deformed fetus!
Zi You sneered to herself. She immediately looked like she blamed herself and said, “Mother, the person asking is the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Your daughter can’t deceive the monarch!
“You really can’t keep this child. I didn’t lie to you. She really is a…… Would I dare to deceive the Emperor and the Empress Dowager……?”
Everyone started talking again. “That’s right. It’s the Emperor and the Empress Dowager who asked Mu Xiaojie to look at her mother’s child. Would she dare to deceive the monarch?”
“That’s true. If the child is born and it’s not the same as what she said, then she will be guilty of deceiving the monarch.”
“……”
Just as everyong was talking, Shangguan LingRan suddenly shouted, “Imperial grandmother, imperial uncle, it’s very simple. If Mu furen suspects that Mu Xiaojie is wrong and she is deliberately harming her child, just bring some animals over. Let Mu Xiaojie examine them and we will verify it on the spot. Then won’t we know if what she said is accurate or not?”
“Someone, come……” The Empress Dowager didn’t wait for the Emperor to say anything and shouted, “Bring a few cats and dogs over. It’s best if they’re pregnant.”
The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed. She was secretly angry at Wang Yiping. She had heard about Nee Liu’s matter more or less from Shangguan LingRan. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t angry.
No matter what, Nee Liu was her cousin’s daughter. Although she was from a side branch, it wasn’t up to Wang Yiping, a stepmother without a title, to bully her.
The Empress Dowager knew that the Empress was fanning the flames from behind. She wanted to intervene, but Shangguan LingRan had stopped her.
He had privately told her, “Imperial grandmother, you should pretend that you don’t know anything. Don’t fight with that cunning Empress. She has a shaman around her. I’m afraid that she will target you.”
So in the two years since Zi You had been taken away by her Shifu, the Empress Dowager had listened to her grandson’s orders and pretended to be ill. She hadn’t interfered in the harem or the government.
But this morning, her grandson had laughed happily and told her, “Imperial grandmother, it’s great. You’er is back. You and grandfather don’t need to pretend to be ill anymore.”
Even the old Prime Minister hadn’t interfered in anything. He wouldn’t go to court every two or three days. The Empress Dowager had worried every day that something was going to happen.
That was because her Emperor son and the Empress had done some things and made her angrier and angrier. But her grandson hadn’t let her interfere, so she had listened to him.
She didn’t dare to make guarantees on anything else, but she absolutely dared to guarantee that her grandson Shangguan LingRan treated her sincerely.
A sharp light flashed in the Empress’ eyes when she saw how the Empress Dowager acted. She secretly gritted her teeth and scolded, ‘This old fool! She was a lot honest due to Darong Ka’s nightmare spell making her ill. Why did Darong Ka die, but she’s now making moves again? I knew this was going to happen, I should have told Darong Ka to kill her!’
The Empress didn’t know that Zi You feared that Darong Ka would make trouble, so she had long told Shangguan LingRan the way to get rid of the nightmare spell.
Before Shangguan LingRan left for India, he had taught his martial nephews the technique. So, the Empress Dowager and the old Prime Minister were safe and sound even after Darong Ka had cast the nightmare spell on them due to Zi You’s technique.
It was just that they had both been pretending in order to avoid detection by the Empress and Taizi.
The palace servant responded and left. The Empress Dowager pulled Zi You over to sit next to her and asked her this and that.
The palace servant came back after thirty minutes. He brought a cat, a dog, and a white horse with its groom.
The cat and dog were indeed pregnant, but that white horse looked lifeless.
Second Wangzi grew anxious. He pushed his wheelchair over to the horse. He chastised the groom in displeasure, “Why did you bring this Wangzi’s horse here? What’s wrong with it?”
The palace servant quickly explained, “Replying to Second Wangzi, Nucai wanted to find a pregnant mare, but the Imperial Stables’ manager said that your Baiyun refused to eat for two days now. The veterinarians couldn’t tell what’s wrong with it. They heard why Nucai was there and knew that Mu Xiaojie has the ability to see through solid objects, so they told Nucai to bring Baiyun here.”
The groom quickly bowed and said anxiously, “Yes, Second Wangzi. The veterinarians can’t tell what disease the horse has. So…… So……” He looked fearfully at Zi You and lowered his head.
Although Second Wangzi was paralyzed, he had always cared about his horse. This was the foal of the horse that threw him off and made him paralyzed. That horse was regarded as the culprit and was sentenced to death.
But Second Wangzi later suspected that his horse was startled because of Taizi. So, he had been particularly distressed over this little horse that didn’t have a mother. It finally grew up with difficulty. Of course Second Wangzi was anxious when he heard that this horse was ill.
He looked pleadingly at Zi You. Others might now know Zi You’s ability, but he was very clear. He certainly believed that Zi You could diagnose what disease his horse had and cure it.
Zi You went over to the horse and used her spiritual power again. She looked carefully and said to Second Wangzi, “Call a veterinarian over. There is a wire stuck in the horse’s rectum. It must hurt when the horse excretes, so the horse doesn’t want to eat. The wire isn’t in very deep. The veterinarian should be able to stick his hand in and extract it out. Call the veterinarian over and I can tell him exactly where the wire is.”
Second Wangzi immediately said to the palace servant, “Hurry and call a veterinarian over!”
The palace servant ran off to do it.
Zi You then looked at the cat and dog. She said to the Empress and the Empress Dowager, “The cat is pregnant with five kittens: two females and three males. The dog is pregnant with four puppies: two males and two females.”
Wu Jieyu immediately said coyly to the Emperor, “Emperor, when the veterinarian gets here, tell him to cut open the cat and dog’s stomachs to see if she’s right……”
Wu Jieyu then looked at Zi You and sneered ferociously. “Mu Xiaojie, if you’re wrong, do you know what crime you committed……”
“Get out of the way, Emperor!” Wu Jieyu didn’t finished speaking before Zi You shouted in shock. She pointed to Wu Jieyu and shouted, “Emperor, Wu Jieyu is a snake demon.”
Everyone was shocked! Wu Jieyu was originally not qualified to sit next to the Emperor. The Empress should have sat next to him. But Wu Jieyu was sent to the Emperor by Taizi and the Empress, so of course the Empress wouldn’t compete with her.
Not only did she not compete with her, but the Empress would look virtuous and generous every time. If Wu Jieyu sat next to the Emperor, not only could she fill his ears with nonsense, but the Emperor would also praise, “The Empress is really understanding.”
So, the Empress Dowager sat to the left of the Emperor today. Wu Jieyu sat on his right. The Empress sat to the right of her.
With Zi You’s shout, the Emperor and the Empress both jumped up in shock. The officials in the palace hall were also shocked and they looked at Wu Jieyu.
Wu Jieyu was not really a snake demon, so she was naturally angry when she heard Zi You’s shout. She started to scold Zi You, “You’re the snake demon. You’re a demoness speaking nonsense. How dare you slander Bengong? Bengong……”
“Ah! She’s really a snake!” Before she finished speaking, everyone started screaming……
