Rebirth Of The General’s Granddaughter - Chapter 110
The three xiaojies were frightened out of their wits. His granddaughter said that it was a pill to suppress their fear and at the same time, make them forget what happened. She said, “Don’t let anyone know that Shizi Ye knows martial arts. It will bring him trouble. With this pill, they will only remember what happened in the valley before the attack and forget their terrible experience.”
There was such a magical pill? Old General Mu was skeptical. He was also worried about his granddaughter’s secretive conduct.
Third Wangzi’s facial expression made Old General Mu wonder whether this wangzi, like Shangguan LingRan, actually liked his granddaughter.
Third Wangzi actually started crying when he heard that Zi You could have lost her life. “Old General Mu, please rest assured. Benwangzi will investigate this matter and find out who is responsible for it. Benwangzi wants to see You’er or Benwangzi won’t be able to eat or sleep. Old General, Benwangzi won’t hide it from you. Since that time at Duke Anguo fu, when she forced fourth meimei to apologize, Benwangzi found it hard to forget……”
“Third Wangzi.” Unfortunately, Third Wangzi had not finished speaking, but was interrupted by Old General Mu. “Third Wangzi, Chen’s granddaughter is vulgar and not worthy of Third Wangzi’s affections. Please don’t say such words anymore. You’er is young and had not yet reached marriageable age. Please forgive Chen for not allowing Third Wangzi to visit her. A male really cannot go into a female’s boudoir.”
“Then can Benwangzi take a look from outside the courtyard gate?” Third Wangzi pled, with the appearance of a man in love. Also, the suffering in his eyes would seem sincere no matter who looked at him.
Old General Mu had some doubts about refusing him, but once he thought about his status and identity, he still shook his head. He refused him somewhat guiltily. “Asking Third Wangzi for his understanding! Chen will accept the things, but asks Third Wangzi to please go back. Chen is also thinking for Third Wangzi’s sake. An unmarried man and woman will attract criticism and gossip.”
Third Wangzi was helpless and could only leave with regrets. It was said that as he left the General’s Manor, he kept turning his head back to take a look.
On the fourth day, Taizi came. But Taizi did not only bring medicinal supplements and tonics. He also brought along an imperial doctor who specialized in treating external injuries.
Upon seeing Old General Mu, Taizi’s face was filled with concern. He asked anxiously and in alarm, “This Taizi just received the news and was shocked and worried into speechlessness! This Taizi hurried to find an imperial doctor and didn’t even change the court attire. This is too deranged! Who would dare to do such a thing in broad daylight and under the eyes of the Emperor? Did you find out who did it?”
They were definitely brothers. Their words were exactly the same. Zi You hung on a beam in the roof and revealed a contemptuous smile.
This Taizi could not catch up to Third Wangzi though. Third Wangzi and Shangguan Lingluo were not close. However, this Taizi and Shangguan Lingluo’s relationship were as close as if they were biological siblings. Could Taizi not know about Shangguan Lingluo sending assassins after her? It was impossible.
He must be here today to inquire as to whether Shangguan Lingkan helped her that day, because Shangguan LingRan had been “missing” for three days.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor had sent people to search for him everywhere, but there was still no news.
It was said that the Empress Dowager and An Wangfei were so anxious that their hair turned white and they fainted from crying.
The reality was that on the night of the incident, An Wangfei and old prime minister came to the General’s Manor. An Wangfei almost fainted after seeing how injured Shangguan LingRan was.
The old prime minister was more shocked than his daughter. In spite of his distress, he still maintained his calmness. He didn’t reproach, but deeply bowed to Old General Mu. “This old man thanks Old General for his life-saving grace! But this old man asks Old General for your help. Please let Shizi Ye recuperate at your manor before letting him leave. To tell you the truth, the fact that Shizi Ye knows martial arts cannot be revealed. Otherwise, he will be killed.”
Old General Mu guiltily went to help him up. “Old prime minister, you think too highly of this old man! When it comes to life-saving grace, it should be this old man who thanks Shizi Ye for saving this old man’s granddaughter. Please rest assured, prime minister. This old man will definitely protect Shizi Ye and send him back when he is recovered from his injuries. That’s not a problem. The main point is if the Emperor asks why Shizi Ye disappeared, how will you explain?”
The prime minister was also worried. The Emperor kept his grandson in Jingdu to hold him hostage to control his son-in-law.
The Emperor meticulously reared him into a “dandy” to have the Emperor’s children and grandchildren sit on the throne forever, without having An Wang usurp the throne.
This matter was probably known by the Empress Dowager. But what could she do? Both of them were her sons.
The old prime minister shook his head and said, embarrassed, “This matter is indeed tricky. If the Emperor finds out that Shizi Ye is injured trying to save Mu Xiaojie, the matter of Shizi Ye knowing martial arts will be exposed. Not only that, but it will cause the Emperor to suspect Old General, this old man, and An Wang. The thing to do presently is to have Shizi Ye appear safe and sound in front of the Emperor.”
Old General Mu’s tiger eyes rounded. “Shizi Ye is this injured. How can he appear safe and sound in front of the Emperor?”
Zi You heard this and walked into the study. She respectfully curtsied and said, “Prime minister, as long as you can gain three days for me, I promise I will return a healthy and active Shizi Ye to you.”
Using pills and spiritual power, Zi You healed Shangguan LingRan. Early this morning, he was disguised as a maidservant and sent out.
Zi You came up with the disguise. Shangguan Lingkan originally looked devilishly charming. It was very easy to use makeup to turn him into a female.
However, men in ancient times were willing to lose their heads before they would agree to disguising as a female. If this was found out, he didn’t need to live anymore. It was too humiliating.
So, when Shangguan LingRan heard that Zi You wanted to disguise him as a female, his devilishly charming peach blossom eyes glared at her. He gloomily said, “Are you taking revenge for me previously mocking you? I’m telling you. Even if this Shizi Ye dies, this Shizi Ye won’t disguise as……”
His words weren’t finished yet, but Zi You once again went to tap his acupuncture points. Shangguan Lingkan was so angry his liver hurt.
This darned yatou! She tapped his acupuncture points at the drop of a hat. In the past three days, he was injured so he couldn’t block off his acupuncture points. Thus, every time she came to treat him, she would tap his acupuncture points.
Just because he was always saying “scoundrel-like” things to her, she treated his sincere confession as words from a scoundrel. Wasn’t that infuriating?
He had to look at the beauty in front of him but he couldn’t speak to or touch her.
He smelled the light fragrance on her body and wanted to get close to smell her. But she had to ruin his chances.
Now, his injuries were healed. If he let her succeed again and miss out on this opportunity, then his years of learning martial arts were wasted.
If Zi You did not use her strongest spiritual power and based on just her martial arts, she naturally was not Shangguan LingRan’s opponent. Therefore, after the two sparred a bit, Shangguan LingRan quickly got the upper hand tightly hugged her in his arms. He laughed evilly in her ear. “Little yatou, this Shizi Ye’s injuries are healed. How can you restrain me? I want to see how you dare to stretch your claws out like a little lion and randomly tap my acupuncture points. You’re bold enough to dare to provoke this Shizi Ye. You ungrateful little idiot. This Shizi Ye was injured and lost so much blood to save you. You not only don’t marry me out of gratitude, but you’re not obedient……”
Shangguan Lingkan had Zi You completely in his arms. His unique bamboo fragrance and the smell of male hormones rushed into her nose.
Plus, he kept blowing in her ears. Zi You started to feel ticklish. She couldn’t help but shift and twist her body, struggling with her life. As a result, her soft little buttocks rubbed against Shangguan LingRan’s lower abdomen. He himself didn’t even know what was going on and reacted.
He felt strange thinking about it. How could he react to a twelve-year-old little yatou?
Even if he liked her, even if she was very beautiful, and even if her scent relaxed him, her soft and weak body was still that of an underage little yatou.
He spent time at brothels and opera theaters yearround. What kind of charming and beautiful woman had he not seen before?
Moreover, the Palace housed a lot of beautiful women. But he really didn’t have any feelings for any women. This was really strange!
Zi You might have been reborn, but she never did such a charming and gentle thing with Zhao HongXiang. In her previous life, she was passive and unknowledgeable about male and female relations. Whenever Zhao Hong Xiang wanted to be intimate with her, she vehemently resisted. She didn’t know why, but she knew she didn’t want to be that way with him.
This was also one of the reasons that he was seduced by Yu Lanxuan. Zhao Hong Xiang thought she was too cold, unlike Yu Lanxuan’s wild and passionate nature.
So, the pitiful little yatou had no idea what that thing against her waist was. She thought Shangguan LingRan was touching her lower back with his hand. She angrily scolded, “Lecher! Obscene!” And she tried to grab it.
She actually managed to grab a hold of Shangguan LingRan.
Shangguan LingRan felt a surge of electricity rush through. His body was numb and his mind was blank. He didn’t know anything anymore.
Zi You still did not know what was in her little hand. She thought Shangguan LingRan’s hand had touched her coat.
She turned around and was dumbfounded! She must really be a fool if she didn’t know what the thing in that area was.
Ordinary little xiaojies would probably bashfully run away. But Zi You was very different from those weak and delicate xiaojies in this lifetime.
