He was increasingly curious. Did this little girl recognize him? If she didn't, how could he explain the laparotomy? If she did, why wasn't she afraid of him now? Or was she pretending not to recognize him?
Just thinking about it for a moment, Cheng Ying found it extremely interesting.
He had been accustomed to all kinds of situations in the court and the palace over the years of wielding power, and rarely encountered such interesting things.
Cheng Ying smiled at Yu Jiao. His treacherous phoenix eyes were as dark as mist, making people dare not look directly at him. He gently stroked the rabbit in his arms, his voice lazy and gentle, as if he was laughing and talking, "I heard that you can perform cesarean section and take the baby out of the woman's belly without hurting the pregnant woman. I would like to see it for myself."
The topic suddenly changed, and Yu Jiao was unable to react for a moment. She saw Cheng Ying grab the fur of the rabbit's neck in her arms. The little rabbit seemed to have its throat strangled by fate, and it didn't move at all, and didn't even struggle.
Perhaps it was the instinct of the jungle that told the rabbit that the man holding it was too strong to resist and it could only obediently let him do whatever he wanted.
"Since it is a coming-of-age gift, this rabbit is your birthday gift from me." Cheng Ying held the rabbit and handed it to Yu Jiao, then said, "This is a pregnant female rabbit. You can use it to open my eyes."
Such remarks are absolutely ridiculous. Who would let a little girl dissect a rabbit at her birthday party and still say that the rabbit was a birthday gift!
Besides, most girls are kind-hearted and are extremely gentle to small animals like cats and dogs, let alone such a cute rabbit. How could Miss Liu San have the heart to do it?
This is clearly an attempt to force others to do something difficult and to make things difficult for Miss Liu San.
Yu Jiao lowered her eyes and looked at the cold, slender fingers of the man in front of her. These hands were as white as jade, but who knows how much blood they were soaked in. The rabbit in his palm was still very quiet, and he didn't know what fate he would face next.
She looked at the rabbit as if she were looking at herself.
Just because of misunderstanding such a conversation, your life is controlled by someone else, who can decide your life or death.
Liu Ziqi couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and protected Yu Jiao behind him, smiling slowly and saying, "How can a human compare to a rabbit? My sister is still young, and most of the rumors are just rumors. Since you have come from afar, why don't you try the feast in our mansion?"
Cheng Ying glanced at Liu Ziqi indifferently, rubbed the fur on the rabbit's back with her thumb, and said slowly, "What Mr. Liu said does make some sense. People and rabbits are indeed different."
He held the rabbit back into his arms, his movements extremely casual, without any trace of the tenderness he had shown earlier.
"Xia Ning!" Cheng Ying raised her voice slightly and shouted outside the hall.
Soon, a young man with a white face and no beard, wearing a long-sleeved fish-shaped suit, walked in and stood respectfully in the hall, waiting for Cheng Ying's instructions.
Many people recognized him, Xia Ning, the Junior Chancellor of the Eastern Depot, a hunting dog under Cheng Ying. He had sharp claws and teeth that could easily skin someone alive. In recent years, Cheng Ying rarely showed up, and most of the Eastern Depot's affairs were handled by Xia Ning. Whenever Xia Ning showed up, there would be blood all over the place!
Xia Ning, the Junior Secretary of the East Depot, who was a terror in the capital and could make people shudder with just a glance, was as docile and respectful as an obedient dog in front of Governor Cheng.
Governor Cheng called Xia Ning in. Could it be that he wanted to kill Miss Liu San?
Apparently, it was not just the people in the hall who thought this way. After all, Cheng Ying was a very moody person. He might be talking to you with a smile one moment, but you might be beheaded the next. You might not even know what you said to offend him.
Miss Liu San will definitely suffer disaster for her rash words just now.
Liu Yu's calm face showed a rare nervousness. He said to Liu Ziqi, "Since the governor has met Yaoyu and Yujiao, you should take the sisters back to the backyard first."
Liu Ziqi grabbed Yu Jiao's hand and winked at Liu Yaoyu, who dared not even breathe, to take them away first.
"Wait!" As soon as Cheng Ying spoke, Xia Ning, who had been standing still, grasped the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Sword at his waist and blocked the way of the three people with an expressionless face, as if as long as Cheng Ying gave the order, the Embroidered Spring Sword in his hand would come out of the sheath.
Cheng Ying looked at the frightened expressions of the people in the hall, who were afraid of him like tigers and wolves, and secretly found it funny. He had no interest in killing anyone today.
Cheng Ying didn't care what others thought of him at all. He was in such a high position and had such great power that he didn't need to care at all, so he wouldn't waste his breath on adding insult to injury.
"Since I'm here today, I naturally want to see the caesarean section technique." Cheng Ying pinched the rabbit in her arms and said lightly, "The emperor also thinks this caesarean section technique is very interesting. Yesterday he asked me whether the rumor is true or not. I can only return to the palace to give the emperor an answer after I see it with my own eyes. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't bear the crime of deceiving the emperor."
This statement is obviously made under the pretext of His Majesty, but who dares to question it?
Cheng Ying changed his posture and leaned back in the chair, looking lazy and relaxed, as if this was his Imperial Household Department.
He said lazily, "Xia Ning, go find a pregnant woman who is about to give birth." He fiddled with the rabbit's ears with his cold white fingertips, "Since humans are different from rabbits, Miss Liu San can't perform a cesarean section on a rabbit, so find a woman who is about to give birth. If you can't find one who is about to give birth, any one will do, as long as she is pregnant."
