Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter-Chapter 219 - Wu Jieyu Dies, Offers an Immortal Flower, Requests to Dissolve the Engagement

Zi You’s palms were facing Wu Jieyu. The blue light that Zi You shot out did indeed make Wu Jieyu look like she had a human head, but a snake’s body. She was waving a colorful snake tail in the back.

Zi You said to the terrified Emperor, “This might be Darong Ka’s spirit snake. Did he give Wu Jieyu to you, Emperor?”

The Emperor originally didn’t believe what he was seeing. But once Zi You mentioned Darong Ka, he instantly remembered that Darong Ka was recommended to him by Taizi. He was originally a suspicious person, so now he immediately suspected if Wu Jieyu was really a snake demon and not human.

Zi You’s next words changed his hesitation to 100% affirmation.

“Emperor, does she have a strong fragrance on her body? That’s because a snake smells fishy. So to hide this smell, she hid a special musk pill in her navel. The scent that you smell now is musk and not her own scent.

“Think again. Is her waist particularly soft and flexible? Hehe…… She’s a snake! How can she not be flexible?” Zi You laughed mockingly.

The Emperor recalled Wu Jieyu’s bonelessness as she wrapped herself around his body. His face turned black and then green. Finally, it became a bloodless white.

He pointed to Wu Jieyu’s writhing body and shouted in horror, “Burn her to death! Burn her to death for Zhen……”

“Move out of the way!” Zi You shouted. Actually, there was no one around Wu Jieyu right now. Even the Empress had flashed far away, not to mention the other consorts. The Empress Dowager was taken away by Shangguan LingRan far away.

A purple beam flashed out of Zi You’s palms. The human-headed and snake-bodied Wu Jieyu was enveloped with a purple flame all over and soon turned into ashes.

Everyone trembled in fear when they saw this.

No one knew that Wu Jieyu wasn’t actually a snake demon, but really human. This was a play acted out by Zi You and Shuiling.

Shuiling used her spiritual power to hide Wu Jieyu’s appearance and turn her into a snake. Who let her come out to repeatedly provoke Zi You and act as the Empress’ mouthpiece? This was what happened when you’re a dog!

Zi You looked at the horrified expressions of the Emperor and everyone else. Like a magician, she took out a pot with a brilliant and lustrous flower in it. She said to Xuanwu Emperor, “Emperor, when Siddharta Guatama Buddha became a Buddha, Earth shook. All of the gods praised and the hungry ghosts in Hell stopped wailing. The heavenly drums played. Mandara flowers, gold flowers, silver flowers, glass flowers, lotuses, and so on rained from the sky.

“Siddharta Gautama reached the end of Buddhist teachings and started to teach dsicples the true meaning of the universe. Heavenly music constantly sounded in the Western Paradise. The ground is covered with gold.

“A very fragrant and beautiful flower called the mandara flower fell down from the sky day and night without interruption. The Earth became colorful. This flower is the mandara flower. It has achieved immortality. It can transform into a human and grant many of your wishes.

“My great-grandmother gave it to me when I left the God Realm. I now present it to you, Emperor. May Buddha and the gods always protect the Emperor!”

“Is this true?” Xuanwu Emperor was overjoyed. Before Siddharta Guatama became a Buddha, he was a prince of India. The Emperor himself was also a believer in Buddha. The largest and most prosperous Putuo Temple was the imperial temple.

Xuanwu Emperor’s excitement couldn’t be described with words when he heard that Zi You’s great-grandmother Goddess Mari gave her the mandara flower that she was now giving to him and the mandara flower could take on a human form.

He grabbed the mandara flower from Zi You’s hand and couldn’t put it down. He also smelled its light and elegant fragrance from time to time.

But he didn’t know that if he smelled the mandara flower for a long time, he would hallucinate and feel an indescribable sense of pleasure. So, Xuanwu Emperor felt refreshed, as if everything had become beautiful right now.

The Empress was envious, jealous, and resentful. She really hated that she couldn’t slice Zi You into a million pieces.

But Wu Jieyu was dead. There was no one who could be her mouthpiece anymore. She could only jump out herself and say to the Emperor, “Emperor, Mu Xiaojie says this is an immortal flower that can take on a human form. Then why don’t you tell Mu Xiaojie to transform this flower ino a human for us all to see?”

Zi You immediately guessed her intentions. As soon as she transformed the flower into a human, the Empress would certainly claim, “Wu Jieyu turned into a snake must be because of Mu Xiaojie. Since she can turn a flower into a person, why can’t she turn a human into a snake?”

So, Zi You instantly shook her head and said, “Chennu cannot. How can mortals casually see an immortal’s appearance? Not to mention, Chennu isn’t capable of making it transform. Emperor, as long as you want to, recite, ‘Nanwu Heluo Dana,’ it will take on a human form and be at your command.”

The Emperor glared fiercely at the Empress. He thought, ‘Zhen is the true dragon Emperor, so of course, Zhen can see the fairy. Who do you think you are? You want to bask in the fairy’s grce?’

Then he turned to look very amiably at Zi You and laughed out loud. “Haha…… You’er, what reward do you want? You made great meritorious efforts to pacify the rebellion in Nanjiang. And now you gave an immortal flower to Zhen. Your loyalty is commendable. You should be rewarded. What do you want?”

He then looked lecherously at Zi You. He wanted Zi You to immediately say the words that he had been desperately yearning for: “I want to enter the Palace to keep the Emperor company.”

Zi You knelt down and said righteously, “Chennu is Great Yan’s citizen. Although Chennu is female, Chennu should still share the burdens of the country. Chennu doesn’t dare to seek any rewards.

“If the Emperor really wants to give out rewards, then please reward the soldiers and the female medical team members. They are really brave and very strong. The female medical team members especially, really made great meritorious achievements to reduce casualties among the soldiers.

“That is Chennu’s first request. Chennu still has two more requests that Chennu hopes Emperor will allow.”

“What requests?” The Emperor suppressed the excitement in his heart as he asked.

Zi You gracefully and calmly bowed. “Please dissolve the engagement between Chennu and Duke Yongnan Shizi.”

The palace hall was instantly a cacophony of noise.

Many officials and their families lamented. This banquet tonight was really worth coming to. The good shows just kept on coming.

Zhao HongXiang hadn’t returned to his seat yet. The Emperor didn’t tell him to rise, so he had been kneeling until now. When he heard that Zi You wanted to dissolve their engagement, he immediately looked up at Zi You and exclaimed, “Why, You meimei? My mother’s words don’t represent my wishes.”

Zi You didn’t even look at him. She said uprightly to the Emperor, “Emperor, Chennu returned home and Yu daren’s second daughter, Yu Lanxuan, came to find Chennu. She said that she wanted Chennu to fulfill her love for Duke Yongnan Shizi and dissolve the engagement with him.

“Chennu saw how sadly she cried and how sincere she is to Duke Yongnan Shizi, so Chennu will willingly dissolve the engagement and fulfill Yu Xiaojie’s wish.”

Yu Lanxuan stood up anxiously and defended herself. “How can you be like this, Mu Xiaojie? When did I say that? If you want to dissolve the engagement, you can’t frame and slander me and Shizi. Emperor, Chennu doesn’t want live anymore. How can Chennu live when Chennu has been this insulted?”

“Yu Xiaojie, I am kindly trying to fulfill your wish, but why don’t you appreciate it and instead, say that I’m framing you? Didn’t you say that you’re already Shizi’s woman? You’re willing to be a servant or a slave to him for a lifetime? I can’t bear it if you become a servant or a slave, so I’m giving you the position as Shizi’s main wife.

“But why are you saying this now? Marriage is not child’s play. Emperor, if you don’t believe it, find an elderly palace maid to verify whether Yu Xiaojie is still pure. Then you will know whether Chennu is framing her.”

Zi You shook her head in confusion. She seemed very sad. A layer of mist immediately appeared over her purple eyes and made her eyes even more shockingly beautiful, as if she had the power to hook someone’s soul out.

So, the Emperor immediately agreed to what she said. “Someone, bring two elderly palace maids over to examine Yu Xiaojie.”

“Emperor!” Yu Lanxuan’s father couldn’t hold back anymore. If his daughter was examined, her life would be ruined.

Yu daren plead, “Emperor, Mu Xiaojie wants to destroy Chen’s daughter’s life because Chen’s daughter is Mu Xiaojie’s stepmother’s niece! Emperor, you must not examine Chen’s daughter……”

Zi You pretended to shake her head in confusion. “Yu daren, if I really want to destroy your daughter’s life, then I wouldn’t have proposed to dissolve the engagement in the first place. Wouldn’t that be more embarrassing for her? What is more tragic than if her husband’s family discovers that she is not pure? Or what if a noble daughter ends up as a servant or slave? Or what if she has to become a nun?

“Moreover, this is about a woman’s reputation. When Yu Xiaojie talked to me, my maidservant was there. She can prove that I am not framing Yu Xiaojie. When it comes to framing, it is Yu Xiaojie who is not reserved. Can she say these things so casually to people? If so, can she casually tell everyone here then? Or was Yu Xiaojie demonstrating her strength to me?

“As soon as I came back, I learned that my fiancé had an affair with another woman. As long as Yu Xiaojie is examined and is determined whether she is pure or not, the truth will be revealed. Otherwise, you will only say that of course my maidservant will say what I want her to say.

“I wasn’t planning on saying this matter out loud. I wanted to keep this a secret for Yu Xiaojie. But you said that I am framing her, so don’t blame me for this. I can’t let her steal my fiancé, but still have to keep quiet about it. Is Chennu right, Emperor?”
