Chapter 221.2 Slag Male and Slag Female Punished, Shizi Proposes in Public Part 2/3
Zi You’s voice seemed to be magical and appeased the veterinarian’s nervous mood. He followed Zi You’s instructions and gently and slowly touched a thin wire.
“Good.” Zi You smiled brightly. “That’s it. You touched it.”
“Yes. This official touched it.” The veterinarian was very excited. His voice contained an excitement that couldn’t be suppressed.
Soon, a thin wire stained with horse manure was extracted by the verterinarian.
Zi You immediately praised him, “You did very well. Go wash your hands. I’ll treat the horse. Its intestinal hall is punctured. I’m going to heal it.”
She gathered her spiritual power in her palms. A blue beam soon appeared and shot under the horse’s tail.
About fifteen minutes later, she retracted her spiritual power and said to Second w.a.n.gzi, “Your horse is fine now.”
Tears almost fell when Second w.a.n.gzi looked at her! This horse was snow-white, so the people at the Imperial Stables called it “Baiyun.”* But no one knew that he called the horse “Sinian”* to mourn for its mother: the horse that was wronged like he was and tragically died. This horse meant a lot to him.
[Baiyun = White Cloud
Sinian = To miss, to remember]
Zi You cured him and now she cured his beloved horse. So, how could he not be grateful?
“Thank you, Mu Xiaojie!” Second w.a.n.gzi bowed in excitement and adoration.
Zi You bowed lightly in return. Then she turned and avoided his burning eyes.
The veterinarian came back at this time. He lifted the wire in his hands and showed it to everyone in the palace hall. He bowed deeply to Zi You. “This official deeply admires Mu Xiaojie’s medical skills!”
The Emperor seemed to have forgotten that he had tried to kill Old General Mu. He laughed happily. “Haha…… How G.o.dly! Hurry and go cut open the stomachs of that dog and cat. See if the puppies and kittens are the same as what Mu Xiaojie said.”
“Emperor!” Zi You anxiously called out. She softly advised, “The heavens are kind. All living things have lives. It’s better not to hurt them. What if you order someone to take care of the cat and dog? Emperor and Empress Dowager can verify it when they give birth naturally. If it is differen than what Chennu said, Chennu is willing to accept then punishment.”
“Then we’ll wait.” The Emperor was clearly eager to know the results even thought he agreed to what Zi You said. He looked at the pitiful cat and dog and said to the veterinarian, “Take good care of that cat and dog. When they give birth, hurry and report it to Zhen.”
“Chen obeys the decree!” The veterinarian quickly bowed. He went over to pick up the cat and dog and exclaimed, “Reporting to the Emperor, this cat is about to give birth.”
“Then why aren’t you delivering the kittens?” The Emperor waved his hand excitedly.
The Empress immediately said, “Emperor, this is related to Mu Xiaojie’s reputation. It’s better to send someone to carefully watch over the cat’s birth.”
“Eunuch Yu, go watch over the veterinarian.” The Emperor knew what the Empress meant. She was afraid the veterinarian would do something. In that case, he sent his confidant Eunuch Yu over. Let’s see who would dare to cheat or speak nonsense.
