Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter Chapter 185 - Silently Enduring Tears, Lofty and Unyielding Character

Chapter 185 Silently Enduring Tears, Lofty and Unyielding Character

But Taizi even didn’t know about this matter. Imperial Doctor Qin was a lecher and a gambler. Darong Ka met Imperial Doctor Qin in a gambling den.

At that time, Imperial Doctor Qin had lost money and was about to have his fingers chopped off. Darong Ka had appeared to save him and took the opportunity to put a gu on his body.

Last night, the Empress had sent a letter to Darong Ka to instruct Imperial Doctor Qin to poison the Empress Dowager and frame Mu Zi You.

Imperial Doctor Qin originally had the intentions to seek revenge for w.a.n.g Yiping. Darong Ka used the gu to sneakily place a bag of 100 gold taels in front of Imperial Doctor Qin’s study.

Imperial Doctor Qin received the order and took the gold, gypsum, and dandelion to find Yurong as if he had lost his will.

Yurong was extremely stupid. She had thought that she would receive another 500 gold taels after the matter was complete. She didn’t know that if the Empress Dowager died, Yurong would be punished with death.

No one knew about Darong Ka except the Empress and Taizi. Moreover, once Darong Ka received her command, he would immediately order the gu to kill Imperial Doctor Qin.

The Empress had the gentlest and most pitiful expression on her face. She rubbed the una.s.suming and engraved dark ring on her finger as she walked towards the Empress Dowager.

Zi You had been looking at the Emperor and Empress. Once she saw the Empress’ ring, she couldn’t help but secretly freeze.

This ring wasn’t pure gold or gold inlaid, but it was black gold. It was a dark ring engraved with a very strange pattern.

If it wasn’t for her penetrating eyes, she wouldn’t be able to see the pattern on the ring. She would have thought that it was ordinary black gold ring.

Zi You was pondering when Imperial Doctor Qin went, “Ah.” He covered his stomach and rolled on the floor. In less than five minutes, he spat out b.l.o.o.d.y foam. His face was black and he became motionless.

The Emperor froze. He immediately ordered an imperial doctor, “Go and see what happened to him.”

The imperial doctor walked over helplessly. He reached his hand out under Imperial Doctor Qin’s nose. He quickly retreated and reported, “Emperor, he…… He’s dead.”

“What?” The Emperor had just watched Imperial Doctor Qin die at his feet and he didn’t know how he had died. He was so scared that he took three steps back.

The Empress Dowager was clearly shocked! But she immediately reacted and shouted, “Rebel. Rebel. Who is it who dared to kill a prisoner under Aijia and the Emperor’s noses? Who is it?”

The Empress pretended to be frightened and suddenly collapsed on the Empress Dowager’s bed. She covered her cherry mouth and screamed, “Heavens! These people are really bold. They dare to kill someone in the Empress Dowager’s bedroom! Is there any security? Where are the guards? Are the guards dead?”

The Emperor fiercely glared at the guards. He immediately shouted, “Don’t let anyone here off. Search them carefully for Zhen.”

Zi You looked at the Empress and slowly and calmly said, “Emperor, Imperial Doctor Qin is not killed by someone here. He is under the influence of a gu. The person who had given him the gu had ordered the gu to kill him.”

Someone here ordered the person who had given the gu to kill Imperial Doctor Qin.

Zi You held back the last sentence for a very long time and didn’t say it out loud.

She didn’t want to inadvertently alert the enemy. She was certain that the person behind Imperial Doctor Qin was either Taizi or the Empress.

That was because only Darong Ka knew how to give someone gu and Darong Ka belonged to Taizi’s camp. But she had just observed that Taizi had stood there without doing anything. But the Empress had touched her ring.

Could it be that that was the Devil Ring described in the books that her mother had left behind?

It was said that the Miao shamans’ ancestors had a Devil Ring. The shamans could psychically communicate with any gu insect. A shaman with the Devil Ring could control the gu even if the gu was someone else’s.

And if this Devil Ring was worn by someone else, this person could rub the Devil Ring and contact the faraway shaman.

It seemed that if she didn’t get rid of this Darong Ka, he would ruin her matters sooner or later.

The Emperor was frightened and angry! He roared, “The government forbids witchcraft and gu! What demon dares to openly resist the edict?!”

“Emperor.” Lin Pin immediately jumped out. “How can Mu Xiaojie understand gu? She’s also proficient in hypnosis. This consort thinks that hypnosis and gu are very similar. Aiya! Emperor, can Mu Xiaojie be the person who handed out the gu? This consort heard that her mother is from Nanjiang.”

So it was like this. Zi You finally understood the Empress’ vicious plot. So this series of plans was to take her life.

Zi You looked at Taizi. Taizi froze and looked away. Then she looked at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked calm and didn’t make a sound.

She looked at the Emperor. The Emperor’s eyes stared at her, already suspicious.

She looked at Third w.a.n.gzi. Third w.a.n.gzi wanted to say something, but Xian Fei pulled his arm. Third w.a.n.gzi immediately lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

She looked at Second w.a.n.gzi. Second w.a.n.gzi lowered his head and thought, as if he was in a fierce struggle.

Even the Empress looked at Zi You with her deep phoenix eyes and didn’t speak.

At this time, Shangguan LingRan suddenly picked up the medicine bowl next to the Empress Dowager’s bed and threw it angrily at Lin Pin.

Lin Pin went, “Ouch.” She clutched her head and then looked at her hand. She saw that there was blood and immediately shouted to the Emperor, “Emperor, look at s.h.i.+zi. He actually dares to hit this consort in front of you.”

Shangguan LingRan was obviously and crazily mad. He pointed to her and scolded, “This s.h.i.+zi is. .h.i.tting you, you vicious woman. Mu Xiaojie is imperial grandmother’s savior. If it isn’t because of her, imperial grandmother would be dead already. You b*stard! You dare to suspect her?”

“She used hypnosis to help imperial uncle catch the real culprit. She caught this palace maid putting too much gypsum in the medicine. Once she came back, she made imperial grandmother well again.

“Which time was she not saving someone? Whoever dares to slander her, this s.h.i.+zi will tear her into pieces.”

Zi You looked at Shangguan LingRan jumping and scolding. He looked no different from a shameless rogue in a market. But, she felt that he was so handsome, as if he had descended from the heavens. At this moment, she was no longer indecisive or alone.

In this vast sea of people, someone understood her, believed her, and was willing to risk his life to protect her.

Zi You smiled brilliantly, like begonias in full bloom and more dazzling than the sun at noon. “Emperor, everything that Chennu has learned is to save people. Chennu has never thought about harming someone. Chennu’s mother knew everything that Lin Pin had said. She had the knowledge to protect our Great Yan’s soldiers who were pacifying the rebellion so that they could walk through the jungles without getting hurt.

“This is the same principle as ‘Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated.’ If you don’t understand the secret techniques of the Nanjiang people, then how can we protect the soldiers’ safety? Mother is indeed not a pureblooded Great Yan citizen. She is a descendant of Indian n.o.bility and a Great Yan citizen. But that does not prevent her from loving our Great Yan.

“It is because of this patriotic heart that she gave up all of a n.o.ble woman’s glory and wealth to painstakingly learn medicine, suffer hards.h.i.+ps with Great Yan’s army, lead the way in the jungles, fight against all sorts of poisons to treat soldiers to ensure our combat effectiveness, and do many things that men cannot do.

“She made so many meritorious efforts for our army to pacify the rebellion in Nanjiang. She even sacrificed her own life. But why is it that today, someone still suspects her? Why does Chennu want to follow her wishes and be a person like her, but is still suspected by our own countrymen?

“Emperor, this person is even your consort. How do you want Chennu to endure this?”

Tears gathered in Zi You’s eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. “Chennu doesn’t want any reward, but only trust. But it is so difficult. If so, then why did you permit the formation of the female medical team? The heavens are blind. Is it a crime for Mu Zi You to love my country, the army, and my family?”

She asked in self-deprecation and ridicule. She sighed not sharply, not coldly, and not mercilessly. There was only infinite melancholy and unspeakable grievance and sorrow.

What did her lowered gaze contain? Were those long eyelashes stained with tears that this little woman would never show?

Was she crying?! What did her tears mean? The tears of humiliation under her eyelashes stubbornly refused to fall, but had nowhere to vent her desolation?

At this moment, the people who suspected her couldn’t help but be moved by her sad and poignant appearance. Even the ridicule and disdain in their hearts wavered in the face of those suppressed tears!

What a lofty and unyielding woman! She was indeed a woman from a military family. A soldier’s strength and tenacity were shown incisively and vividly.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was compa.s.sionate towards Zi You. The tears that she was holding back transformed into an unyielding pride to the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, the Emperor felt a bit guilty. This little yatou stubbornly retained a trace of dignity. She didn’t beg or kneel. She stood there proudly and looked at him without any fear.

At this moment, Second w.a.n.gzi no longer hesitated. He spoke out to firmly support her. “Fuw.a.n.g, if Mu Xiaojie wanted to harm someone, she could hide everything that she knew from everyone. She could do it sneakily. And who would know about it then?”

At this moment, Shangguan LingRan felt like a knife was slicing his heart! He deeply sympathized with Zi You’s grief and anger. So, he knelt to the Empress Dowager. He said righteously, “Imperial grandmother, even your grandson knows that ‘An ungrateful person is not a n.o.ble man.’

“Mu Xiaojie just cured your illness. Do our imperial family want to be ungrateful villains? Won’t we be afraid of being scolded by the people of the world……?”
