Chapter 45 The Koi Princess's New Supernatural Power

These five words put everyone present in a bad mood.

Mu Fang spent his life on the battlefield, never once frowning even when his bones were broken and he bled.

But at this moment, looking at his small daughter on the bed, her eyes wide open but unfocused, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Xiao Beichen's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Yan Ziche bit his lip hard, his fingers hanging at his sides trembling slightly from the force.

Even the tiger king, "Big Cat," paced back and forth anxiously, making low whimpering sounds.

"Little Yu'er..."

Mu Fang reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch his daughter's face.

But his hand stopped in mid-air.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that his touch would disturb this fragile porcelain doll who had just returned from the brink of death.

"Father...Father?"

Mu Yu, lying on the bed, seemed to hear his voice.

Her little head turned slightly, and she "looked" in the direction of the sound.

Those amber eyes were still clear, but they seemed to be shrouded in an invisible mist, so empty it was heartbreaking.

"Father...is it dark yet?"

She asked in a childish voice.

"Why... can't I see the lanterns anymore?"

Mu Fang could no longer hold back. This tough man covered his face, his shoulders trembling violently.

Xiao Beichen turned his head away, unable to bear watching any longer.

Xie Zhiwei closed her eyes, feeling utterly powerless.

Mu Yu couldn't sense their sadness.

She's just a little strange.

It's so quiet around her, why isn't her father answering her?

She tried to sit up in bed.

My body still feels a little weak, but the pain has disappeared.

Her little hands groped around on the bed, touching the soft blankets and the cool edge of the bed.

Then, her little feet darted out and landed on the solid floor.

"Little Yu'er, don't move!"

Mu Fang exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to hug her.

Mu Yu waved her little hand.

"Father, I'm alright now."

She tilted her head, intently "listening" to everything in the room.

Father's breathing was heavy, like thunder.

Brother Beichen's breathing was rapid, like a puppy panting.

Zhiwei's breathing was very light, but disordered.

Brother Ziche... he seems to be grinding his teeth.

That's strange.

Even though she couldn't see, she could clearly "sense" the location of everyone in her mind.

It's not just about location.

She could also "sense" the different "scents" on them.

Father's body was covered in a sorrowful gray, mixed with deep affection, like a large, warm ball of cotton.

Brother Beichen's body was covered in angry red and heartbroken pink.

Brother Zhiwei is the color of self-blame.

Brother Ziche's color was a frustrated blue.

These "tastes" and "colors" intertwined in her mind to form a picture.

A painting that she can "understand" without using her eyes.

Is this... the world after we can't see?

It doesn't seem so scary after all.

only……

She stretched out her little hand and touched the air.

You can't catch anything.

I'll never see Dad's stubble again.

We can no longer see Brother Beichen's silly smile.

She could no longer see the colorful and pretty candies that her brother Zhiwei made for her.

Thinking of this, Mu Yu's lips trembled, and she finally felt wronged.

"Wow--!"

She still cried.

She cried so loudly it shook the heavens and the earth.

It wasn't because of fear, it wasn't because of pain.

It's because we might never be able to tell which pastry looks better again!

That's such a loss!

Her crying broke the hearts of everyone in the Princess Anguo's mansion.

Mu Fang, at a loss, hugged her and tried to comfort her.

Xiao Beichen was so anxious that he almost broke his sword.

The next few days.

Everyone was very careful, afraid that the slightest sound or carelessness would cause that small figure to bump or get hurt.

All the table corners and chair legs in the mansion were covered with thick, soft cloth.

The floor was covered with the softest carpets from the Western Regions.

Mu Yu's daily activities consisted only of going from her bedroom to the small flower hall outside.

She adapted very quickly.

Or rather, a four-and-a-half-year-old child doesn't yet have a deep understanding of "loss".

She just felt that this new "game" was a bit troublesome.

When walking, you should extend your arms.

You have to use your hands to feel around while eating.

To use the outhouse... Princess Jianing or Qin Zheng should lead the way.

What troubled her most was that the "pond of good fortune" in her sea of ​​consciousness was rising very slowly.

Because she is blind, no one lets her go out, and she doesn't even have the chance to "do good deeds".

That day, the steward, Uncle Fu, led a newly arrived maid into the flower hall.

"Princess, this is a new maid named Chun Tao. She will be in charge of serving you from now on."

Uncle Fu's voice was full of love.

"Chuntao, quickly pay your respects to the princess."

The maid named Chuntao immediately knelt down, her voice timid.

"This servant, Chuntao, greets Your Highness. May Your Highness be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and peace."

Mu Yu was sitting on a small stool, clumsily scooping almond tofu from a bowl with a small spoon.

Hearing the sound, she looked up.

She "saw" a new color.

A pale, unassuming light yellow.

This is the color that ordinary servants should wear.

But beneath this pale yellow hue lies a very fine, very faint gray.

That gray hue carried a hint of falsehood.

"Your name is Chuntao?" Mu Yu asked, her mouth still full of almond tofu, her words muffled.

"Yes, my name is Chuntao," Chuntao replied respectfully.

Where did you work before?

"Your Highness, my family is from the south of the city. My parents sold me into the household because my family was poor."

Chuntao's voice sounded pitiful.

In the past, Mu Yu would have softened and shared half of the almond tofu in her bowl with her.

But now...

She "felt" that, with Chun Tao's reply, the gray wisp gently twitched.

"oh."

Mu Yu responded, lowered her head, and continued to struggle with the almond tofu in her bowl.

Xiao Beichen and Yan Ziche exchanged a glance.

They were acting on Mu Fang's orders to guard Mu Yu closely.

This maid named Chuntao has had her background checked; she has a clean record and there are no problems.

But they always felt that Xiaoyuer's reaction was a bit strange.

"Princess, you can't see, so walking must be very inconvenient for you, right? From now on, let me be your eyes and help you walk, okay?"

Chuntao's voice was extremely gentle, filled with concern.

Mu Yu stopped eating.

She "sensed" it again.

That wisp of gray twisted again.

Moreover, it emitted a "smell" that made her nose a little itchy.

It smells like a lie.

Mu Yu suddenly understood.

Her eye of destiny has not disappeared.

It exists in a different form.

It is now a "human-shaped mini lie detector"!

She put down her spoon, gave Chun Tao a sweet smile.

"OK."

She answered crisply.

"Then help me to the outhouse now."

Chun Tao paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Princess."

She stepped forward, reached out, and carefully took Mu Yu's arm.

Mu Yu stood up and obediently let her help her.

Just as they reached the door, Mu Yu suddenly spoke.

"Sister Chuntao".

"This servant is here."

Do you like candies from the Western Regions?

Chun Tao's body suddenly stiffened.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Mu Yu's hand.

Mu Yu "saw" everything clearly.

Beneath that pale yellow coat, the gray insect instantly curled up into a ball!

It is afraid.

"Princess... what are you saying? This servant... this servant has never eaten any candies from the Western Regions."

Chun Tao's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

The smile on Mu Yu's face slowly disappeared.

She stopped, turned her head, and stared blankly at Chuntao.

"You're lying."

She uttered those three words in the most innocent yet most certain tone.

"You smell exactly like that scoundrel, the Second Prince."

"You're a bad thing too."

These words shocked everyone in the room!

Xiao Beichen and Yan Ziche suddenly stood up and instantly blocked the doorway from the left and right!

Chun Tao's face turned deathly pale in an instant!

Her first instinct was to shake off Mu Yu and run away!

But she was fast, and Xiao Beichen was even faster!

The young general darted forward and seized her vitals with a backhand!

"Speak! Who sent you?!"

Xiao Beichen's voice was as cold as ice.

Chun Tao tried to argue, but when she saw Yan Ziche's cold, scrutinizing eyes—eyes that didn't look like those of a ten-year-old child—her defenses crumbled.

She collapsed to the ground, trembling violently.

"It's...it's Sikong Ming...no, it's the Second Prince..."

"He...he sent me...to monitor the princess's every move..."

"Look at the princess... is she really... blind...?"

The truth has come out.

Yan Ziche looked at the maid who was slumped on the ground, and then at Mu Yu who was standing there calmly. His heart was filled with turmoil.

Despite being blind, Mu Yu could see more clearly than all of them who had perfect vision.

Xiao Beichen had Chun Tao dragged away and locked in the dungeon.

He walked to Mu Yu's side, squatted down, and spoke in a voice that was gentler than ever before.

"Little Yu'er, don't be afraid, the bad guys have been caught."

Mu Yu shook her head.

"I'm not afraid."

She reached out her little hand, groped around, and accurately touched Xiao Beichen's face.

“Brother Beichen, I think I have… gained a new supernatural power.”

She grinned, her little mouth agape, like a little fox who had stolen some candy.

"From now on, no one will dare to lie to me again."

"I'll make sure his...butt gets bruised and battered!"
