Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 465 Difficulty

"I will not hide the truth from you now. This fox is the original form of Concubine Zhao Cong. Since you all know that Prince Ming is a fox demon, it is reasonable that he has a fox demon mother. Don't be surprised anymore." Perhaps because she was afraid that Kang Qingyuan would send troops to catch up, Xiaoxue picked up Ji Anni, who had just regained consciousness, and walked towards the direction of the South Palace while speaking hurriedly.

Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri followed closely behind her, asking questions one after another: "What should we do now?" "Where is Prince Ming?" "Is there anything we can help with?"

Thinking back carefully, when Prince Ming caught the fox in Wenhua Courtyard, he also called out "mother" several times. Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri had long suspected that the fox was Zhao Ji. In addition, they were simple-minded and no longer suspicious of Xiaoxue's words.

"You two should go back to Wenhua Courtyard obediently. As long as you don't cause any trouble, that will be the greatest help." Xiaoxue held Ji Anni in one hand and put one hand on her waist. Her stern face made her look even more fierce than Kang Qingyuan. Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri must have suffered a lot in the past, and they didn't even have the courage to act like a spoiled child. They went back obediently with a somewhat complaining look on their faces.

"I didn't expect them to be so docile in front of you. You really should go to Wenhua Court to discipline them properly." Ji Anni's words sounded just like the barking of a fox in the ears of Zhuang Xiaomeng and other humans, but in Xiaoxue's ears they were a language that could be used for communication.

"Your Majesty, please stop joking. I don't have that ability." Xiaoxue gently stroked the fur on Ji Anni's back. The smile on her face proved that she loved the two young masters very much.

"But what surprised me the most is that you are also a monster..." When he said this, he suddenly remembered something more important, and his voice rose a few degrees unconsciously, "Then is Concubine Gan also a monster?"

Otherwise, why would they bring a monster into the palace?

Xiaoxue is a maid that Concubine Gan specially brought from her hometown into the palace. She is very famous in the palace.

Xiaoxue said, "Although I am a white rabbit spirit, Lady Gan is a genuine human being. However, unlike ordinary humans, Lady Gan has the Yin-Yang Eyes, which can communicate between the Yin-Yang world and the human and demon worlds. Not only can she see monsters, but she can also talk to them. She has done me a favor and treats me like a sister, so I decided to follow and protect her."

"I can see that you two are kind people." Although Ji Anni felt that Concubine Gan was an iceberg that could freeze people to death when they first met, after a few brief contacts, she gradually developed a good impression of her. Especially this time when Xiaoxue rescued her from Kang Qingyuan, Ji Anni regarded her and her servant as benefactors.

As they were talking, Xiaoxue had already walked from the lawn to the road carrying Ji Anni.

Even on the remote paths, one could occasionally see palace maids and eunuchs, but fortunately Xiaoxue cleverly avoided them.

Along the way, they did not encounter any danger and arrived at Nangong Palace smoothly.

Xiaoxue took Ji Anni directly to Concubine Gan's bedroom.

Concubine Gan had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as she saw Xiaoxue, she immediately went over with anxiety written all over her face.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Concubine Zhao here." Xiaoxue handed Ji Anni over to Concubine Gan and turned around to close the door.

Concubine Gan placed Ji Anni on a cushioned chair by the window and sat down beside her.

Ji Anni saw that her eyes were dim and her slightly furrowed brows seemed to be hiding something on her mind, so she asked with concern: "Empress Gan, you asked Xiaoxue to rescue me here, what's the matter?"

When I was first rescued, I thought Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue were helping me with the intention of doing good deeds. It was not until I saw Concubine Gan's uneasy expression that I realized she might have something to ask for.

Since Ji Anni had already asked the key point, Concubine Gan simply said, "To be honest, not long ago, Xiaoxue saved Prince Ming who was almost thrown out of the palace, and hid him in the South Palace. We wanted to secretly send him out of the palace when the palace was moved, but he was possessed by Yuan Rong and almost lost his life. Fortunately, the Demon Fox Lady appeared and took Prince Ming away, disappearing in a white light. We are weak and can neither deal with Yuan Rong nor know the whereabouts of the Demon Fox Lady. We are at a loss and can only think of relying on the power of sister Zhaoji. Fortunately, Xiaoxue sensed your demonic aura with her magic power and contacted Xiaomeng and Mingri from Wenhuayuan, and then rescued you here."

The story described in the words was indeed a thrilling one, but when told by Concubine Gan, it was as if the temperature had been lowered, making it impossible to deeply feel the urgency of the situation.

Even so, Ji Anni was still surprised and cried out: "What happened to Prince Ming?"

Xiaoxue said, "Don't worry, madam. When the fox demon madam rescued Prince Ming, she kept saying 'baby'. She seemed to love him very much. She shouldn't harm him. But Yuan Rong is still attached to Prince Ming's body. I don't know..."

"He has possessed me once, but I didn't expect him to come a second time! We must drive him out!" Ji Anni gritted her teeth in anger.

Concubine Gan asked hurriedly, "Then how did you drive Yuan Rong out of Prince Ming's body the first time?"

"Strangely enough, that time it was all thanks to Yizhen that she was able to push Yuan Rong out of Prince Ming's body with just one push."

"Is there such a thing?" Concubine Gan never expected that the ordinary Yizhen could have power that rivals Yuan Rong.

Xiaoxue said thoughtfully: "Concubine Su is indeed very strange. I wanted to help Prince Ming punish her, but I couldn't get close to her. It seemed that there was a mysterious power protecting her, and no demons or monsters could get close to or hurt her..."

"Who is she?" Concubine Gan frowned. All demons and monsters could not escape her eyes, but she never found anything unusual about Yizhen. If Yizhen was not a demon, then what power was protecting her?

Ji Anni murmured thoughtfully: "Do I have to ask Yizhen to let Yuan Rong leave Prince Ming's body?"

Xiaoxue poured cold water on him: "I'm afraid even if I ask her, she may not agree..."

"Xiaoxue." Concubine Gan shouted in time, interrupting Xiaoxue's next words.

Ji Anni was a little confused. She realized that the two of them were hiding something, so she subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

Concubine Gan was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she finally decided to tell the truth: "In fact... the person who persuaded the emperor to throw Prince Ming out of the palace was Concubine Su Cong. She used sand shell sugar to make Prince Ming reveal his true form in front of the emperor..."

"How could it be Yizhen?" He had already learned from Zhuang Xiaomeng that Prince Ming revealed his true form in front of Long Mohan, and the news that Prince Ming and Zhao Ji were fox demons was also known to everyone in the palace. However, he never expected that all this was caused by Yizhen.

Although she was unwilling to believe it emotionally, but when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she realized that only Yizhen could think of using sand shell sugar to transform Prince Ming, so Ji Anni could not help but believe it.

"Now that things have come to this, let's think about how to rescue Prince Ming." Concubine Gan couldn't bear to see Ji Anni suffer the blow of being betrayed by her best friend, so she quickly changed the subject.

Ji Anni, who had no scheming, was immediately taken by Concubine Gan's words. After thinking for a while, she said, "If it was really the Demon Fox Lady who took Prince Ming away, then they should be in the Demon Temple."

Concubine Gan nodded in agreement, because when the Fox Demon Lady appeared, the demonic energy was the heaviest in the direction of the Demon Suppression Temple.

"Actually..." Xiaoxue hesitated and spoke uneasily, "I don't think we can hastily separate Yuan Rong and Prince Ming... because I accidentally injured Prince Ming during the fight. If Yuan Rong hadn't been attached to him, I'm afraid he would have passed away..."

"Is the injury serious?" Ji Anni opened her eyes wide. What kind of injury could cause Prince Ming to die?

Xiaoxue nodded and said softly, "The injury is right in the heart."

Ji Anni felt a pain in her heart and her vision went dark for an instant.

Prince Ming was obviously just a simple child, but because he had the blood of the demon race flowing in his body, he had to suffer such hardships...

Is it possible that I have to watch the only person I want to protect disappear?

I subconsciously clenched my fists, hoping that with my insignificant strength, I could hold something in my hands.

But why, every time I was about to have it and wanted to cherish it, it was cruelly taken away again and again? Baogui Concubine was like this, Yun Zhen was like this, Yizhen was like this, even Prince Ming... Could it be that he couldn't grasp it?

"Your Majesty, do you have a way to save Prince Ming's life?" Concubine Gan asked with the last glimmer of hope.

Ji Anni shook her head painfully and said with a sob: "I don't have any way..."

Every time this happens, I always feel sad for my own incompetence; every time this happens, I wish I were a monster with infinite magic power, so that I can protect the important people around me and not watch them leave and disappear...

There was a soreness in her eyes and Ji Anni quickly lowered her head, fearing that tears would suddenly roll out.

"Don't blame yourself, sister." Concubine Gan approached her gently, hugged her shoulders softly, patted her and comforted her.

This love reminded Ji Anni of the precious concubine she once was. She took a deep breath and tried not to let her voice cry: "If we find Yun Zhen, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Yun Zhen was her only support. After leaving him, she realized that she was too dependent on him and couldn't leave him at all...

Whenever the two words "Yun Zhen" came out of my mouth, I felt a force supporting me.

"But I don't know where the Imperial Master is..." Concubine Gan said with a sigh, as if implying that Yun Zhenmi was in danger.

Ji Anni said: "The last time he and I parted was on the road of life and death, and we lost contact after that."

"It has been five days since the earthquake. Because there have been rumors that the palace will be moved, the ruins are almost unattended. I wonder if the Imperial Master has escaped safely..." Concubine Gan's expression became even more worried. After being trapped in the Road of Life and Death for five days, there is no hope of survival. Even if he is alive, he is no longer in the Road of Life and Death, and there is no clue to find.

"No, I'm going to go find him!" These words burst out from Ji Anni's mouth without any warning.

By the time Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue reacted, Ji Anni had already jumped off the chair and ran towards the door.

Xiaoxue quickly chased after her and hugged her: "My Lady, it's too dangerous to go alone. We can't let you go."

Concubine Gan nodded and said, "Sister, you must not be impulsive. Let's think of other ways."
