Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Breathtaking While Indirectly Scolding

Zi You's face was red with a hint of bashfulness as she said, “I really don't understand you men. How come you drink some wine and become dizzy and unable to distinguish between people? Even if you were drugged with that kind of medicine, you will…… will fool around?

“Besides, since you know that girl has bad intentions, shouldn't you dispose of her? How can you accept her as a tongfang? I want to lecture him, but he's my uncle after all. But if I don't, I'm angry and sad for aunt. It really puts me in a difficult spot.”

There was something else that Zi You didn't say. She was feeling indignant on account of her mother. Even till now, her mother was still missing Mu YingYi.

Shangguan LingRan instantly pouted in grievance when he heard Zi You scolding all men. He protested, “Don't scold me too, YouYou. I'm telling you that it would never happen if it was me. Not just drunk, but even if I was drugged with your aphrodisiac, I won't fool around or recognize the wrong person. If there really is such a situation that I cannot control, I rather castrate myself and will never betray you.”

“Bah!” Zi You was bashful, angry, and touched. She stared at him coquettishly and said, “What nonsense are you saying? You're becoming so shameless. You really dare to say anything now. If you do it again, I……”

She wanted to say “I won't care about you anymore.” But in the end, she couldn't finish her sentence. Shangguan LingRan looked at her blushing like a beautiful and moving begonia in full bloom!

Shangguan LingRan's breathing stifled. His mouth went dry. He reached out to hold Zi You's small and delicate chin. He lowly murmured, “YouYou, YouYou……”

Warm air blew over. Zi You looked up and into Shangguan LingRan's narrow phoenix eyes. His dense affection for her emitted like circles and circles of silk from a silkworm to wrap her in his gaze. She froze. She felt sweet and bashful.

Shangguan LingRan covered her petal-like lips with his mouth. He felt that this was the most delicious taste in the world. It wasn't enough no matter how much he tasted it.

The two people hugged and lingered for a while. The Palace finally appeared in front of them. Zi You glared bashfully at the culprit. She quickly touched up her makeup and told Shangguan LingRan, “Carefully imitate grandftaher's speech and manners. Don't expose yourself.”

Shangguan LingRan immediately put his mask on and became an ill Old General Mu.

Zi You carefully checked if anything was wrong. Then they sat and waited.

At this time in the throne room, Xuanwu Emperor was nervous as he had never been before. He didn't know how to face Old General Mu and his son, whom he had harmed miserably.

But then he thought some more. Mu Junyuan and his son were subjects. He was the monarch. Even if he wanted to kill them, they could only obediently acquiesce. What did he have to worry about?

Hence, he soon looked like everything was expected as a matter of course and waited for Old General Mu to arrive at the throne room.

But once he saw Zi You, he completely didn't care about Old General Mu whom had harmed until he was in a wheelchair. His peach blossom eyes stared at Zi You. His gaze burned as if he wanted to roast Zi You.

He had always fantasized about what kind of beauty capable of causing the downfall of a country Zi You would be when she grows up. But his eyes still widened in shock when he saw her.

She did indeed evolve into a blooming flower from a bud. Her skin was milky white, which was different from the usual transparent white and full of temptation. And her eyes were the most beautiful of her facial features. They were deep and bright like a quiet spring. Her eyes elightly drooped, which made her seem more charming. Her figure was slender. Her waist was like a bee's as if she would break in the wind. But her chest was towering. Although her dress was loose, he could still see the rising peaks……

They shook with her every step. Her blue dress rippled at her feet like waves. Her body seemed to be endlessly brilliant. She was like the bright moon in the sky. She was precious like white jade beads as well as being elegant and refined. Thousands of people in the throne room and countless beautiful women all seemed inferior.

Xuanwu Emperor spoke to Old General Mu, but his eyes were on Zi You. He smiled meaningfully. “Please hurry and get up, Old General Mu! It's been really hard on you, beloved official. Zhen is extremely sad to find out that you're ill. Is this You'er? Look up and let Zhen take a look.”

Lecher! Shangguan LingRan thought: You obviously saw YouYou's appreance right now. Why are you taking another look? Why don't you go blind?!

He slightly shifted on the wheelchair and blocked half of Zi You's body. This way, when Zi You looked up, the lascivious Emperor could only see the side of her face.

But the side of her face was still so perfect that one couldn't even pick out the slightest flaw. Xuanwu Emperor smiled lecherously. Even his voice was soft and full of gratitude. “Yatou, Zhen should really thank you! If it's not because of you, Zhen really don't know how to face your grandfather, uncle, and the soldiers who went to Nanjiang to pacify the rebellion. Zhen really didn't expect that that Darong Ka was a spy. He made our soldiers suffer such heavy casualties. Zhen really cannot spare him!”

His last sentence contained endless anger and hatred. If Mu YingYi didn't know everything beforehead, he might really be deceived.

But at this moment, whether it was Zi You or Shangguan LingRan, who had never believed him, or Mu YingYi, they all despised him. They despised the Emperor's hypocrisy and treachery.

Zi You sneered and said, “Please calm your anger, Emperor. How would you know that there are such despicable and cunning people in the world? He's immoral, despicable, and treacherous. So, you don't need to feel guilty at all.

“But it's a pity that the soldiers didn't die under a sword, but they died from a villain's plot. That is really a pity! However, that Darong Ka wasn't much better off. When Chennu saw him, he was dead, but Chennu still told someone to light the sky lantern* to appease the dead soldiers in heaven.”

[Lighting the sky lantern = cruel ancient punishment, in the prisoners are stripped naked, wrapped with linen, and soaked into the cylinder of oil and wax. They would then be tied upside down on a tall wooden pole. Their feet would then be lit on fire.]

“Cough, cough……” Xuanwu Emperor was guilty, embarrassed, and angry from Zi You's “immoral, despicable, treacherous, villain, and lighting the sky lantern.” But he couldn't say anything. He could only cough to hide it.

“It's good that he's dead! It's good that he's dead. It's not a pity that such a treacherous individual is dead! He dared to lie to the monarch. What a b*stard! He deceived Zhen so badly. Zhen really feels guilty.”

After his reproach, he felt his face turn hot. No matter what, he still felt like he was scolding himself.

Old General Mu's voice was choked as he said, “Emperor, how can this be blamed on you? It's the treacherous individual who deserves to die! Chen is just sad! If Chen could see through his conspiracy, perhaps those soldiers would not…… Emperor, please punish Chen for causing heavy losses in our army.”

Of course the Emperor could not punish him. He was the one who recommended Darong Ka, so how could Old General Mu see through the spy's true nature? But someone just had to bring this matter to Old General Mu's attention. Who was it? It was going to be Wang Yiping's father: Duke Yingguo.

His beloved daughter's legs were wasted from Old General Mu's beating. She would have been crippled if Darong Ka did not treat her.

Duke Yingguo didn't dare to seek justice from Old General Mu for his beloved daughter. He was ruthlessly reprimanded over Shangguan Lingluo's matter that day. So how could he dare to make trouble with Old General Mu?

Afterwards, Taizi had gone to find Duke Yingguo and told him, “This Taizi heard that your daughter is crippled. This Taizi really feels that it's a pity. It was the servants' fault, but the master is blamed. No matter what, it's……”

He hadn't finished speaking, but Duke Yingguo had understood. He originally hated Old General Mu and now he had beaten up his beloved daughter like this. Wasn't this the equivalent of slapping his old face?

Now, with Taizi's instigation, Duke Yingguo's resentment immediately burned like fire. “Taizi, you don't know how pitiful Chen's daughter is. A weak woman was beaten with military rods until her legs are wasted. She can't walk now…… Wuu……”

At the end, Duke Yingguo broke down and started crying.

Taizi had immediately pretended to rub his eyes that were not tearful at all in sympathy. He had sighed, “Ai…… This Taizi also feels sad. How about this? This Taizi knows a very skilled doctor. Why don't you let him take a look at your daughter? But…… This Taizi is afraid that Old General Mu won't allow it. Why don't you find a way to bring your daughter to your fu?”

Duke Yingguo had been extremely grateful. Soon, he came up with an excuse. He had gone to the General's Manor and said to Old General Mu, “I want to bring my daughter back to Duke Yingguo fu for a few days. Her yiniang fell ill since she heard that her legs are wasted. She wants her to keep her company for a few days.”

Old General Mu had been furious. “Are you muddleheaded, Duke Yingguo? Your concubine is ill. What does that have to do with my daughter-in-law? You want my daughter-in-law to go back and serve your concubine? What a laughable joke! You neglecting your wife and spoiling your concubine is your business. Don't come show off in my General's Manor. Now scram out of here!”

Old General Mu had driven him out mercilessly.

Finally, Darong Ka had to climb over the wall like a thief in order to treat Wang Yiping's legs.

Although he had only treated one leg and the other leg was still a little lame, it was already much better than lying crippled in a wheelchair. Duke Yingguo was very grateful to Taizi, but he hated that old fool Mu!

Now that there was a chance to retaliate against Old General Mu, Duke Yingguo certainly wouldn't let it go. He stepped out at this time and pretended to be righteous as he said, “Emperor, Chen thinks that Old General Mu and Mu Xiaojie should be punished. First of all, Mu Xiaojie recovered, but she did not return to the capital and privately went to Nanjiang without your permission, Emperor……”
