Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter

Chapter 203 Returning Victorious Frightens the Empress and Taizi [2]

A kind reader bought me coffees! Thank you very much for your support! Here are the promised bonus parts!

Xuanwu Emperor thought that it was the best if it was like what Mu Junyuan had written: “That spy wanted to use gu to murder Chen. You’er cured Chen’s poison. That spy was bitten by his own gu. When we found him, he was already dead. He caused our army to lose more than 20,000 people in the Land of Death. He really deserves to die! Even if he’s dead, an immoral and sinister person like him should be sliced into a thousand pieces!”

Wait! Why did that last line sounded like he’s scolding Zhen?

Xuanwu Emperor was so angry that his chest hurt when he thought of that last line in the letter. But he then remembered that Old General Mu hadn’t seen the living Darong Ka. He chuckled.

That means that Mu Junyuan doesn’t know about Zhen’s scheme. That’s good. Zhen can continue pretending. Mu Zi You was beautiful like a fairy two years ago. Won’t she be even more beautiful now? She can even rid the gu that Darong Ka used. She must have a special ability, just like her mother.

If Zhen obtains her, then Zhen won’t be afraid of anyone. Xuanwu Emperor was annoyed and then he thought for a while. He felt a trace of hope and a trace of unease. Even he couldn’t figure out what he was feeling.

The Empress’ eyes were red and looked ferocious as she paced back and forth in her Fengming Palace, like a rotating lantern. All the palace servants in her palace felt dizzy.

The Devil Ring had been hidden by her, but it was really too strange! It emitted a red light no matter where she put it.

Darong Ka had said: “Once the Devil Ring emits a red light, it means that I’m in danger or I am already dead. But that can’t be possible, because I can’t die. I can’t bear to leave you, my noble Empress!”

But the Devil Ring was constantly emitting a red light. Was it really like what old man Mu said? Darong Ka was really bitten by his gu and died? Then what should Bengong do with this ring?

Darong Ka had said that she could psychically communicate with him through the Devil Ring. No matter how far away he was, as long as she rubbed the ring, he would know what she was thinking about and respond. However, she didn’t know how many times that she had rubbed the ring, but she hadn’t received any news from Darong Ka.

It was like he didn’t exist anymore and left behind this hateful Devil Ring. She didn’t know what to do with it. The ring emitted red light all day. She hid it in a box and the red light penetrated through the box. She buried it in the ground and red light could even penetrate through the soil.

She didn’t know what use this Devil Ring still had. She couldn’t keep it or throw it away. It became a hot potato in her hands. She didn’t dare to discuss it with Taizi. If Taizi found out that she and Darong Ka had an affair, he would despise her to the extreme.

And at that time, the Empress found out Mu Zi You’s real identity.

Darn it! Her mother actually turned out to be a descendant from an Indian goddess. Didn’t that mean that Mu Zi You was also a descendant of a goddess? No wonder she had such abilities. She could actually escape from a heavy storm, rid the gu that Darong Ka used, and had the gu bite Darong Ka back.

The Empress was jealous and resentful. When she had found out that Zi You was a descendant of a goddess, she had immediately told Darong Ka, “Get rid of her while she’s still not very strong. Don’t let her obtain any special abilities like her mother.”

Darong Ka had then taken advantage of the rainy days to cast a spell for heavy storms. He had said that he would kill the whole Mu family, but she didn’t expect that they still escaped.

The comforting thing was that Zi You was injured and was brought away by an expert. No one knew whether she could be saved or not.

Other than Old General Mu, Mu YingYi, and Shangguan LingRan’s confidants, no one knew that Zi You had gone to the Indian God Realm. The Empress saw that Old General Mu and Mu YingYi were ill and really thought that Zi You was dead.

The Empress had thought that Old General Mu and Mu YingYi would die. Then Taizi could place people from his camp as he wished into the army. But she didn’t expect that Old General Mu and Mu YingYi would recover.

That plan failed, so the Empress could only come up with another. Taizi had found an alluring enchantress with much difficulty. He was reluctant to use her, but he had still given her to the Emperor.

The Emperor did not find out although Taizi and the woman had slept together a few times. The Emperor was still doting and blindly obedient to that woman Wu Jieyu.

In order to confer Wu Jieyu as a Fei, he even wanted her adopted father, a fourth-rank general Ren Weicheng, to replace Old General Mu.

Now, not only was Old General Mu not dead, but Zi You was coming back. On the contrary, Darong Ka couldn’t come back. So how could she not be frightened? She was so resentful that her organs hurt.

Taizi was the same as the Empress. He was also pacing around his East Palace.

In these two years, he could be described as flushed with success! He had married Liu Ruixue and received Duke Anguo fu’s support. Then he had married the Minister of War’s youngest Di daughter Ke Yiqiao as cefei and obtained the Minister of War’s support. He had finally offered Wu Jieyu and regained the Emperor’s trust. He had also placed people from his camp into the five cities’ army. This was the equivalent to having half of the military power of the capital in his hands.

He had originally wanted to wait until Old General Mu and his son died to take all of the capital’s military power and half of the country’s military power.

That was because Ren Weicheng was already in his camp. And that Wu Jieyu was just a geisha from Qingzhou. Her name was Sai Feiyan because she was delicate, petite, and beautiful, walked particularly alluringly, and held thousands of affection.

She was given to him by Ren Weicheng. Taizi had seen that this woman was particularly seductive and knew that all men would like her, especially the Emperor. There were 3,000 beauties in the harem, who were mostly women educated in etiquette and norms. There were no women like Sai Feiyan.

Sure enough, the Emperor was very happy when he had seen her. He had immediately conferred her as “Wu Meiren” and slept at her place for three days in a row without going to morning court. She was then soon conferred as a “Jieyu.”

With Wu Jieyu constantly praising him in front of the Emperor and criticizing Third Wangzi, the Emperor did indeed trusted him more than before.

Although Liu Ruixue was on her guard against him in the beginning, but so what? Was there no way for him to make a woman submit to him?

Even Taizifei had targeted Liu Ruixue in the beginning and caused her to miscarry once. Now, she was coaxed by him until she treated Liu Ruixue’s current child in her belly like a treasure.

That was because he had told Taizifei, “Yuejiao, are you a fool? You and I are cousins and childhood sweethearts. Our feelings are much deeper than mine with her. I treat her well to get the support of Duke Anguo fu. Besides, won’t it be better if she gives birth to a son? If you give birth to a son in the future, then it will be great. But if you do not, then you can raise her child as your own.”

Women? Huh! Which one wasn’t easy to obtain? Other than that extraordinary Mu Zi You.

Taizi didn’t expect that Mu Zi You not only did not die, but she was coming back. She had also obtained abilities and had even killed Darong Ka.

He really wasn’t clear on whether she knew about Darong Ka or not. What if she saw Darong Ka and Darong Ka told her my scheme? What to do then?

I really don’t know why that Darong Ka is so incompetent. And he said that he’s some famous shaman in Nanjiang? Bullsh*t! Taizi kicked over a chair in the study in his anger. Then he kicked a screen placed in the study.

There was an eagle embroidered on the screen. The eagle was the enemy of a snake. And the snake represented a dragon. He wanted to become a proud eagle in the sky and capture his ruthless, selfish, and lustful dragon Fuwang and throw him off a cliff.

This was the birthday gift that Liu Ruixue had personally embroidered for him for his last year’s birthday. Wait. Liu Ruixue was Mu Zi You’s godsister. How could he have forgotten this?

Taizi slapped his head. Then he immediately pretended as if nothing had happened and said, “Someone, come clean up the study.”

Two palace maids came inside. Taizi had restored his elegant gentlemanly appearance. He waved his fan elegantly and went to Liu Ruixue’s Xuejiao Pavilion.

Liu Ruixue was now six months pregnant. She was talking to Taizifei about the child right now. She was suspicious as she looked at Taizifei’s sincere smile. But she soon secretly shook her head.

She was too worried, right? If Taizifei wanted to harm her, she would have done it already and not wait until now.

Didn’t she have a miscarriage when she was no more than two months pregnant? She had later discovered that it was Taizi’s pampered consort who had done something in front of her door that caused her to slip. Taizifei had nothing to do with it.

Liu Ruixue was extremely stupid. She even naively thought that Taizifei wanted Taizi to quickly have a son because he was unqualified to be the monarch of nation if he didn’t have a son at twenty-four years old.

Therefore, Taizifei she placed her hopes on Liu Ruixue because Taizifei couldn’t give birth to a son.

The two people saw Taizi come inside. An obvious trace of jealousy flashed in Taizifei’s eyes. But she soon looked gentle and smiled. “I knew that Taizi is worried about meimei. That’s why I boiled bird’s nest soup and came here to keep meimei company.”

“I knew that you’re virtuous and generous.” Taizi pretended to look appreciatively at Taizifei.

Then he walked over to Liu Ruixue and affectionately pulled on her hand. “How are you? Is our son good today? He didn’t upset you, right?”
