Forbidden City

Chapter 30
Ling Ziyao replied indifferently: "I've been pregnant for a long time." The second uncle said: "Why hasn't Fengfeng mentioned this matter to me? You two are hiding such a good thing from me. Tell me as an uncle, isn’t this treating me as an outsider?”

Ling Ziyao and I were speechless for a moment.

The second uncle walked up to the amber coffin, leaned his back on the coffin, looked at Ling Ziyao and me with a half-smile, and asked unhurriedly, "Is the child—is he going to be born?"

I felt that the second uncle was deliberately making things difficult for Ling Ziyao, and wanted to tell the second uncle not to waste any more time, but Ling Ziyao replied: "Yes, the birth is about to happen, so can I ask the second uncle to go out first? "

The second uncle was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Ling Ziyao to come up with this trick, and instead he would join the army. However, no matter who the second uncle was, he glanced into the cave and said intentionally, "If you want to have a baby, you have to go to the hospital." Ah, what are you doing in this cave? Are you going to live here?"

Facing the aggressiveness of the second uncle, I was really angry and shouted at him: "Second uncle!" The second uncle pretended to be stupid, looked at me and asked, "What are you doing?" Do you want to say a few words? Now time is tight, tense! Do you understand?"

"Understood," said the second uncle, "Of course I know I'm nervous about having a baby, otherwise I wouldn't care so much about your girlfriend."

I really want to say, do you care?You are making things difficult!
Ling Ziyao also understood what Second Uncle meant, but she also pretended not to know, and still said flatly: "I was supposed to go to the hospital, but I'm going to give birth soon, I'm afraid it's too late to go to the hospital, so I can only give birth here."

"Really? But there's no bed here. Could it be that you're going to lie down in a coffin to give birth?" The second uncle was still relentless. As if, before I even opened my mouth, he glared at me and motioned me to keep quiet. I didn't dare to disobey my second uncle, so I could only swallow my words abruptly.

Ling Ziyao said neither humble nor overbearing: "Second Uncle is right, there is no bed here, so I can only give birth in a coffin."

The second uncle immediately said: "It is unlucky to give birth to a child in a coffin."

Ling Ziyao said: "It's unlucky, it's better than being dead—" She glanced at me and my second uncle, then raised her voice and said, "I'm really going to be born soon, please, Second Uncle, go out for a while."

The second uncle was startled, probably because he didn't expect Ling Ziyao's words to be so direct, and also to answer so cleverly, I know, he wanted to insinuate and learn some secrets about Ling Ziyao from Ling Ziyao, but Ling Ziyao is ice-snow smart, why? Don't you understand Second Uncle's intentions?At this time, the second uncle glanced at me and walked away resentfully: "Well, you can go to the coffin to have a baby, but hurry up, we don't have much time." He said and walked out of the cave.

Ling Ziyao said to me: "Yu Feng, open the lid of the coffin." I groaned and rushed to push the lid of the coffin.The lid of the coffin was very heavy, and I had to push it away with great effort. Ling Ziyao was about to lie down, when I suddenly heard the second uncle let out a surprised sound. I heard the sound and saw the second uncle stopped at the entrance of the cave and stepped back. After taking two steps, he turned his head and glanced at us, then looked out of the cave and asked, "You—why are you here?"

I was taken aback, someone is here?Glancing at each other with Ling Ziyao, Ling Ziyao frowned, and said to me softly: "You go and guard the entrance of the cave, and no one is allowed to come in." in the coffin.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a yellow talisman shot straight in from the entrance of the cave, shot on the coffin like an arrow, and firmly stuck to the coffin board.And just as the talisman was pasted on the coffin board, it seemed to be electrified, and suddenly emitted a yellow light. Ling Ziyao in the coffin screamed, jumped out of the coffin like a jumping bead, and fell heavily on the ground .

"Ziyao!" I was taken aback, turned around and ran to Ling Ziyao, and helped her up with difficulty, only to see that her face was pale, just like Xue's, distorted and terrified, appearing in great pain.

Two people walked in quickly from outside the cave, and I took a closer look, and it turned out to be Mu Yi and Lu Fayi.Didn't they go to Zhou Bo's house?Suddenly it occurred to me that when I first went to Uncle Zhou’s house, I didn’t see Mu Yi and Fayi Lu. At that time, the dog was barking so loudly, and Ling Ziyao also appeared at Uncle Zhou’s house. At that time, I only thought of Ling Ziyao, but I didn't think of Mu Yi and Lu Fayi!I regretted Mo Di, if I had thought about it, I might have guessed that Mu Yi and Lu Fayi were not in Zhou Bo's house, and they were hiding outside the cave entrance!

The Taoist talisman just now was obviously shot by Mu Yi.I shouted angrily: "What are you doing?" Mu Yi looked at Ling Ziyao and said coldly: "What am I doing, don't you understand?" I said loudly: "I don't understand, my wife is going to have a baby , please go out!"

"Hmph, your wife? Having a baby?" Mu Yi sneered, "Don't you know that she is a ghost?"

Doctor Lu Fayi has been looking at Ling Ziyao, he probably has never seen a ghost before, at this moment his face showed surprise and he was very curious, he asked Mu Yi softly: "Is she really a ghost?" I said: "She is a ghost, and the child in her belly is a ghost fetus. Don't be fooled by her..."

"So what if it's a ghost? What does it matter to you?" The second uncle stood in front of Mu Yi and said, "Can't people and ghosts love each other and have children? The white snake spirit even gave birth to Xu Shilin with Xu Xian! Don't be a new era Fahai."

"Ignorance!" Mu Yi glared at the second uncle, and angrily reprimanded: "He was bewitched by ghosts, even an uncle like you? How can a human and a ghost combine to have a child? Then the child will be a ghost! Moreover, once a ghost conceives Born, one must die..."

"Ah?" My second uncle and I were taken aback at the same time, and my second uncle hurriedly asked, "You mean that once a ghost fetus is born, Feng Feng will die?"

Mu Yi said: "It's not him who will die, but a child nearby will die. This is called a ghost stealing a life."

My second uncle and I looked at each other in blank dismay, so the only person who was going to die was Xiao Hua, Uncle Zhou's granddaughter.I suddenly understood why Ling Ziyao went to Zhou Bo's house.I looked at Ling Ziyao, she didn't deny it, it seems that what Mu Yi said was true.But my heart was flustered immediately, and my spirit panicked. I didn't know about "ghosts stealing their lives" at first. If I knew about it, I would never approve of Ling Ziyao giving birth to the child in her stomach.

Mu Yi said sternly to Ling Ziyao again: "You are a ghost, you shouldn't stay in the world anymore, since you didn't harm anyone, I can send you back to the underworld, but the ghost fetus in your belly , must be removed!"

"No!" Ling Ziyao shook her head and said in pain, "This child cannot be removed."

Mu Yi said coldly: "As a ghost, you can't stay in the human world, and you can't do harm to the human world. If you are obsessed with your obsession, I will only let you die."

I was taken aback, and wanted to persuade Mu Yiwang to be lenient, but Ling Ziyao said first: "It doesn't matter if you want me to go back to the underworld, or you want me to die, but my child must be born. This is a promise I made with him forever , I can't regret the promise."

Mu Yi snorted and said: "I don't care who you made the agreement with, in a word, I will not watch you harm people in the world, and, once you are born, you will not only take the life of a child , ghost children should not stay in the human world, otherwise, it will cause endless harm!"

Ling Ziyao lowered her head, feeling sad to herself.As soon as I saw her like this, I understood that what Mu Yi said was true, and if this was the case, no matter what, that ghost fetus would not be able to be born.I gently persuaded Ling Ziyao: "Ziyao, that child—don't give birth." Ling Ziyao suddenly raised her head and looked at me. When I looked at her, I felt a shock all over my body. There were two drops in her eyes. The teardrops were crystal clear, and when she looked at me, there was sadness, even despair, in her eyes, and there was also a strangeness, as if she didn't know me anymore.

I was afraid of her gaze, and subconsciously looked aside. Ling Ziyao suddenly pushed me away, took a step forward, staggered, and almost sat on the ground.My heart sank, and I reached out to help, but my second uncle blocked me.Mu Yi walked up to Ling Ziyao and persuaded him: "Listen to me, go where you should go. The so-called vows and promises are just past events. It's been so long, why do you bother with it?"

Ling Ziyao shook her head slowly, and said word by word: "The covenant of a gentleman, the sea is dry and the stone is rotten; the soul is scattered, and it will remain unchanged for a hundred years!"
