Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter-Chapter 188 - Spiritual Power Rebounds, Shizi is Heartbroken

The child in Shui YouLian’s stomach was almost lost to miscarriage. Fortunately, Zi You had left her prenatal medicine. Otherwise, she certainly would have miscarried by the time the doctor arrived.

Someone had poured a basin of water outside her door that created a layer of ice. Snow accumulated and Shui YouLian suddenly slipped. Although her maidservant had broken her fall, there was still some bleeding. Fortunately, Zi You had left prenatal medicine for her. She had quickly taken it and saved the baby.

Zi You stayed in the house for a night. She then went back to the mountains with grandfather and uncle the next day. Five days later, she received a letter from Liu Ruixue about newlywed life.

It was really a long story! Someone actually came to provoke Liu Ruixue on her wedding night. “You’er, do you know? Taizi left me in the middle of the night for a small concubine. How laughable! My wedding night wasn’t ruined by Taizifei, but a lowly concubine.

“She said that Taizi has only one daughter. No one else conceived over the years. This small concubine was the second person to get pregnant after Taizifei. Although she’s only the daughter of a seventh-rank official, Taizi has very high expectations that she will give birth to a son.

“But she had symptoms of a miscarriage, so Taizi went over anxiously to comfort her. He didn’t come back the whole night. You’er, I almost didn’t sleep all night. I really regret it! Why did I get married?

“The day before yesterday, we went to visit my family. Taizi might have been feeling guilty, so he accompanied me back to Duke Anguo fu. But the Empress didn’t treat me well in the Palace the next day. She overtly and covertly told me not to rely on Duke Anguo fu to embarrass Taizifei.”

Zi You read the letter and didn’t know how to comfort her. She knew that Liu Ruixue would be caught in the endless battles between concubines once she married. And Zi You was actually correct. She didn’t expect that it started on Liu Ruixue’s wedding night. No. To be precise, someone had already started scheming against Liu Ruixue before she had even married.

Great Yan’s rules regarding Taizi’s wives and concubines stated: One Taizifei, first-rank; two cefeis, second-rank; four liangdis, third-rank; six liangyuns, fourth-rank; ten chenghuis, fifth-rank; sixteen zhaoxuns, seventh-rank; and twenty-four fengyis, ninth-rank.

Now, Taizi had one Zhengfei, one cefei, Minster of War’s daughter as one engaged cefei, two liangdis, three liangyuns, and all of them added together were a total of twelve women. But they couldn’t satisfy him and he was still messing around with Shangguan Lingluo. A man like this……

Zi You shook her head. Even he was gifted to her, she didn’t want him.

Zi You sent a letter back to Liu Ruixue with three very important sentences on it: “Keep calm! Don’t lose your heart! Find a way to be invincible!”

Military training continued as usual. When it was the spring flooding season, rain poured down on the mountain and the weather was more and more similar to Nanjiang’s.

Rain poured through the forest. Climbing and fighting on mountains were two of the topics of military training. The muddy mountain paths and skyrocketed amounts of flash floods increased the wounded amongst the soldiers

At this time, almost everyone could feel the usefulness of the female medical team. The soldiers also respected the female medical team more and more.

On the night of April 27, heavy rain continued for more than six hours. A mudslide occurred on Mount Yunmeng and trapped more than 4,000 troops on a hillside.

Mu YingYi took 2,000 soldiers to rescue them. Zi You was worried and wanted to follow along. She was stopped by Old General Mu and Mu YingYi. “No. You’er, it’s too dangerous there. The rocks on the mountain can roll down at any time.”

“That’s exactly why I’m going.” Zi You said anxiously, “If they’re injured, they can get timely treatment when I’m there. I am the Commander of the female medical team. I have to be there if soldiers are injured.”

Rong Yunhe heard this and immediately said, “Commander, this subordinate will go with General Mu to rescue them.”

Zi You firmly said, “I vowed that I will help my mother protect grandfather and uncle. Now that uncle is personally going into danger, I have to follow along.

“Grandfather, uncle, hurry up. Time waits for no one. The longer it’s dragged on, the more dangerous it is for the soldiers.”

Old General Mu looked at his son and granddaughter and anxiously said, “Pay attention to safety. Listen. You have to come back here in one piece!”

“Yes, father (grandfather).” The two bowed and led 2,000 people to the place where the soldiers were trapped.

When they arrived, most of the people had extricated themselves. 563 people didn’t have time to extricate themselves.

Amongst the people who escaped, thirteen of them were injured. Four were seriously injured. Two had broken legs. One was hit by a boulder in the chest that caused internal bleeding. And one person had a brain injury.

At this time, thunder roared. Rain poured and one could clearly feel pain when it landed on one’s face.

Zi You was about to crouch down to treat the soldier with the chest injury. Just then, another flash flood collapsed another part of mountain. Water rushed overwhelmingly towards the more than 500 soldiers who didn’t have time to extricate themselves from the hillside. The soldiers and Mu YingYi, who was directing the rescue, were about to be engulfed by the water.

Zi You didn’t have time to think. She jumped up on the hillside and pushed out with both hands towards the water. The spiritual power in her whole body rushed out. A purple circle soon appeared from Zi You’s palms and became larger. It flew past the surging water.

After an earth-shattering impact, the surging flood water instantly changed directions.

Ferocious wind blew her conical bamboo hat off. Everyone could see that her eyes were completely light purple. Those crystal clear and magnificent light purple eyes radiated a purple light. Even her body emitted a layer of light purple light.

She stood proudly in the rain. The rain and water avoided her. Through the curtain of water, people could see a girl wearing a military uniform shrouded in a purple light. She was as beautiful as the Moon Palace’s Chang’e!

On the other side, Shangguan LingRan had been feeling uneasy since the heavy rain started. He had a flustered feeling that he had never had before.

When the heavy rain had been pouring for thirty minutes, he couldn’t sit still anymore. He put his clothing on and immediately rushed out into the rain regardless of his martial nephews trying to stop him.

He jumped on his horse and rode madly towards Mount Yunmeng. He had lived fourteen years on Mount Emei. He knew very clearly what sort of danger this much rain would cause.

Zi You was there. She could encounter landslides and mudslides. He had to personally go see if the little yatou was okay. Otherwise, he would be tormented until he was insane!

He used his qinggong regardless of anything. He arrived at the mountain and found Old General Mu.

But he was told that Zi You had gone with Mu YingYi to rescue people.

Shangguan LingRan didn’t delay for even a moment. With Lightning and Feiyun leading the way, he rushed to the hillside just in time to see Zi You using her spiritual power to save everyone.

Zi You risked the dangers of her spiritual power rebounding, exposing the fact that she had spiritual power, her maternal family forcing her to go back with them, and the dangers of the imperial family to save more than 500 soldiers.

However, she fell down weakly when the light purple light gradually dissipated from her body.

“YouYou!” Shangguan LingRan’s eyes cracked. He didn’t care about the presence of more than 4,000 soldiers there. He leaped down to pick up Zi You. His ctions were even faster than Mu YingYi.

Zi You saw that it was Shangguan LingRan and smiled sweetly. Then she slowly closed her eyes.

Her spiritual power rebounded and caused internal injuries. Zi You was seriously injured by the rebound of her spiritual power.

Shangguan LingRan carried her into Old General Mu’s tent. She had woken up once, but this was her last flash of lucidity.

She looked at her grandfather and uncle and cried guiltily. “Sorry, grandfather and uncle! You’er can’t…… can’t protect you anymore. When you go pacify the rebellion in Nanjiang, you…… you have to bring…… anti-gu and anti-miasma medicines. Check carefully and don’t let…… let anyone play tricks.”

“You’er……” Old General Mu’s tears overflowed. He held his granddaughter’s hand and desperately shook his head. “Don’t leave grandfather! Don’t……”

“You’er, You’er, it’s my fault. It’s my fault. I couldn’t protect you……” Mu YingYi couldn’t help but cry.

This was the only flesh and blood left by Dier. Were the heavens so cruel as to take her away from him?

Shangguan LingRan was dazed! He didn’t believe that YouYou would really die.

He didn’t believe it! She was so beautiful. She was only thirteen years old. She had just turned thirteen on March 23.

He really regretted it! After they pledged their love, he actually didn’t come celebrate her birthday together and had only sent a gift.

He regretted more that he didn’t practice Xuantian Jue to the tenth stage. Then he could have predicted today’s disaster and not let YouYou put herself in danger.

Shangguan LingRan madly pushed Mu YingYi and Old General Mu away. He shouted hoarsely, “Don’t cry. Don’t cry! YouYou won’t die. She won’t die!”

He then grabbed Zi You from Old General Mu’s arms. He wanted to use his internal energy to heal her. “Darned yatou, I forbid you to leave me! I forbid it! If you dare to leave me, I will find you even at the ends of the earth. Now, cooperate with me so I can heal you. You’re not allowed to give up.”

He hadn’t finished speaking before he placed his palms against Zi You’s back so that he could use his internal energy to heal her. But Zi You weakly stopped him. “It’s useless, Shangguan LingRan. My arteries…… are shattered.”

She pulled out the dagger that Old General Mu had given her with difficulty and put it in Shangguan LingRan’s arms. “Shangguan LingRan, thank you. Thank you for letting me see you one more time before I leave. Thank you for letting me leave without any regrets. Please, please protect my grandfather and uncle. I…… I like……”

Before she finished speaking, she fell into Shangguan LingRan’s arms. She had a slight smile as tears flowed down. She slowly closed her eyes.

“No!” Shangguan LingRan shouted heartbreakingly and gut-wrenchingly. He held her as tears spilled out. “No! No! YouYou!”

Soldiers stood outside the tent. They stood in the rain and prayed for Zi You. When Zi You collapsed, they all understood what happened. Their little fairy used her spiritual power to save them, but she was seriously injured when her spiritual power rebounded, which led to her collapse.

At this moment, the rain gradually stopped. But they heard Shangguan LingRan’s earth-shattering and desperate cry. At this moment, all the soldiers, including the female medical team, shed tears.

Rong Yunhe punched stones until his blood dyed the stones red.

Wei Mingchao, who had a contest of swords with Zi You, shook his head and tearfully asked the third-rank General Xue Ziwei, “General Xue, she’s a real fairy, right? Is she going back to the heavens now?”

Shiyun and Moyun who accompanied Zi You into the mountains cried until they almost fainted.

The storm subsided. A rainbow appeared in the sky that reflected the mountains and showed a magnificent scenery. Birds chirped and circled over Old General Mu’s tent with Lightning and Feiyun and didn’t want to leave.

Shangguan LingRan held Zi You and cried until he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he collapsed and scared the six martial nephews who had followed him here. Old General Mu’s impression of him turned more favorable.

Old General Mu’s heart hurt like a knife was slicing it. But he restrained his grief and took out the sachet that Zi You had given him. He took out a life-saving pill and stuffed it into Shangguan LingRan’s mouth. At this moment, he knew that the feelings An Wang Shizi had towards his granddaughter were true and sincere.

He thought that if his granddaughter was still alive, she would really be happy if she married him. But this day was never going to happen.

He fought back his sadness and pain and wanted to separate Shangguan LingRan and Zi You’s clasped hands. But he discovered that they held hands very tightly and couldn’t be separated no matter what.

Old General Mu couldn’t help but shed tears. He helplessly said to Shangguan LingRan’s martial nephews, “Can two of you bring a letter to the Prime Minister?”

“No problem. Please write it. This junior will immediately send it.” Sixth martial nephew immediately agreed.

Old General Mu cried as he wrote about Shangguan LingRan’s current situation to the Prime Minister. He told him to quickly come up the mountains and find a way to comfort Shangguan LingRan. Otherwise, Shangguan LingRan would certainly become seriously ill because of his immense grief.

After he finished, he said to the crying Mu YingYi, “Tell the soldiers to go back and rest. Keep what happened today a secret. Whoever leaks a word out will be punished with martial law.”

Mu YingYi wiped his tears and shook his head. “Father, I fear that it’s impossible to hide it. 4,000 people. If just one accidentally leaks the information about An Wang Shizi and You’er……”
