Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 447 The Greatest Crisis

"No, your father can't handle it. Let her decide for herself." Zhuang Xiaomeng insisted on her opinion, pushed away Changsun Mingri, and continued to help Ji Anni untie the rope.

After being under house arrest for two days, Ji Anni suddenly got a chance to regain her freedom. She couldn't believe that God had opened his eyes. She stared blankly at the quarrel between Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri, not knowing what to do. It was not until the ropes that bound her hands and feet were untied and she could walk, run and jump that she suddenly came to her senses and called out to Zhuang Xiaomeng twice to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Chang Sun Mingri hurriedly blocked the door with his body, refusing to let her go. He threatened Zhuang Xiaomeng, "If you let her go now, you will regret it. How are you going to explain to Prince Ming? How are you going to explain to the Emperor?"

"The emperor has already regarded Prince Ming as a monster, what else do we need to explain to him?" Zhuang Xiaomeng said angrily, "If she wanted to harm people, we who have lived with her for two days would have been the first to bear the brunt. How could we have survived until now?"

It does make sense, but Chang Sun Mingri is still unwilling to let Ji Anni leave easily.

Ji Annie saw the opportunity and was afraid that Zhuang Xiaomeng would be persuaded by her eldest grandson Mingri. So as soon as the rope was untied, she kicked her hind legs and rushed to the door without thinking twice.

Although Chang Sun Mingri was blocking the door, he was very guilty. When he saw the fox demon rushing towards him, he was immediately frightened and turned pale, squatting in the corner with his head in his hands.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Anni nimbly used her claws to pull open the door and dove into the bushes outside the door. With the cover of the bushes, she disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. When Zhang Sun Mingri and Zhuang Xiaomeng reacted, all they could see was the bushes that were trampled by Ji Anni. Other than that, everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.

"It's over, it's over... We've gotten into big trouble this time..." After Ji Anni ran away, Zhang Sun Mingri got angry at Zhuang Xiaomeng, "It's all your fault."

Zhuang Xiaomeng clapped her hands nonchalantly and said in a relaxed and leisurely manner: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who else will know?"

Including Prince Ming, there were only three people in the world who knew that they were harboring the fox demon. Even if they got into trouble, no one could find out that they were the culprits, so he was not afraid at all.

As for Ji Annie, after she hurriedly escaped from Wenhua Courtyard, she didn’t know what to do.

Prince Ming was driven out of the palace by the Emperor. Should she leave the palace to look for him? But Yun Zhen was still in the palace, and his life or death was uncertain, so she couldn't leave.

After thinking it over and over, she still couldn't make up her mind. Before she knew it, she had come to the White Tiger Gate, which she was more familiar with among the four side gates. She had escaped from the palace through this gate once with Yan Niang. In the forest outside this palace gate, there was a cave where the ghost king was sleeping.

Although he was a little scared, he still mustered up the courage to walk towards the palace wall.

The further I walked, the more I felt an inexplicable pressure, like a drowning person who was determined to move towards deeper water. If he didn't turn around, he would be drowned.

Maybe there's some kind of spell cast here...

Ji Anni endured the severe headache and buzzing in her ears and looked around. Although she couldn't see anything, the strong rejection reaction from her body clearly warned her: she must not move forward any further.

Probably to prevent monsters from entering and leaving the palace, a spell was cast on the palace wall. This has been a common practice since the Yuanrong era, and it must have become a habit in times of crisis.

Unable to move forward, Ji Anni had to slowly retreat.

But she did not go back home. Instead, she kept a distance that was not too uncomfortable for her body, lying in the grass and staring at the palace wall.

I thought I was hiding well, but I didn't expect that my white fur was still quite conspicuous in the green grass. Ji Anni, who was staring at the palace wall thinking about countermeasures, didn't notice that the guards had already spotted the huge white shadow in the grass. The guard stared at it for a long time and finally identified that the big white shadow was a crouching fox. He screamed in fear: "There is a fox demon! Fox demon!"

As soon as he shouted, the scene suddenly became chaotic, and all the guards guarding the White Tiger Gate surrounded Ji Anni.

Ji Anni stood up alertly and ran forward as fast as she could.

After all, the other party was a monster, so the guards were afraid and did not dare to chase closely. After driving Ji Anni away, they slowly dispersed.

Ji Anni ran down in one go, not daring to look back, not daring to breathe, not daring to rest. She didn't know how long she ran, but when she vaguely felt that the footsteps of the guards behind her seemed to be gone, she slowly stopped and looked back.

Just this one turn around scared her so much that the hair on her body stood up.

It turned out that she had not shaken off all the pursuers. There was a figure chasing her closely. When he saw her turn her head, he immediately reached out and grabbed Ji Anni's neck and lifted her up like a kitten.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Ji Anni's loud resistance turned into a series of "howling" cries in people's ears.

"My lady, don't be afraid, it's me!"

I'm not afraid, I'll be beaten to death by you guys. Ji Anni was struggling, and suddenly she felt that the other person's voice was familiar. And it was not a man's voice, but a woman's. Thinking of this, she slowly stopped struggling, looked up curiously, and found that the person who held her was not someone else, but her former maid Huarong.

Huarong?! I really wanted to call out this name, but all that came out was the cry of a fox.

Hua Rong held Ji Anni in her arms and whispered, "My Lady, it's you. I knew it was you."

Hua Rong had seen Ji Anni's transformation before, so she recognized Ji Anni's appearance as a fox.

Huarong, why are you here? Ji Anni wanted to ask, but she couldn't use human language, so she could only yell.

Fortunately, the clever Hua Rong immediately understood what Ji Anni meant, and replied softly: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time. If you want to leave the palace, you will definitely go through the more familiar White Tiger Gate. Your Majesty, why did you turn into a fox? Can't you return to human form?"

Hua Rong saw that Ji Anni was just crying and screaming, and vaguely guessed her helpless situation.

Hua Rong continued, "There was a big earthquake in the palace, and many roads were cracked and difficult to repair. In addition, the palace is too full of demonic energy, so the ministers are arguing over whether to move the palace. Your Majesty...you and Prince Ming have both revealed their demonic forms, so I'm afraid you can no longer stay in the palace."

If that’s the case, why did Hua Rong still wait for me, why did she still save me?

If her purpose is to make herself the queen and avenge Concubine An, then I am no longer useful. My identity as a fox demon is already known to everyone. The emperor will never fall in love with me again, let alone make me the queen. Hua Rong, who is smart and realistic, should understand this better than me. Ji Anni is now in trouble, and everyone who is involved with Ji Anni will not get any benefits, but will only get into trouble...

"Empress, you can't leave the palace now. It's better for you to hide in the palace first and make plans after the palace is moved." Hua Rong gently stroked Ji Anni's fur.

After the palace is moved, this place will become an abandoned palace. There will be no guards or seals, and I will be free.

But the whereabouts of the Ming prince is still unknown...

Unfortunately, Ji Anni, who was unable to make any sound, was unable to discuss with Hua Rong and had to be carried away by Hua Rong.

Where on earth was Hua Rong trying to hide herself? Ji Anni was a little worried, afraid that if she was discovered by the guards, she would be implicated by Hua Rong.

But now, apart from relying on Huarong, she had no other choice but to lie silently in Huarong's arms and let her hold her like a well-behaved pet.

Although she used to think Hua Rong was a very complicated person, at least she was not a bad person by nature, and Ji Anni trusted her more and more.

Regardless of her ulterior motives or her pretense, Ji Anni believed that she had a kind heart. However, this heart had been hurt too much, so it used a sharp shell as a protective layer to block out everything from the outside world.

Huarong took off her coat and wrapped Ji Anni in it. Although Ji Anni was a large adult fox, after she was wrapped in clothes, not even a single fox hair could be seen. Huarong held Ji Anni in his arms, just like holding a pile of clothes to go to the laundry room. Even if he met someone on the way, no one would raise any questions.

With her vision blocked by her clothes, Ji Anni had no idea where she was being taken.

But she trusted Huarong and did not stick her head out to peek curiously.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Huarong finally stopped.

Ji Anni felt the clothes covering her head being slowly lifted, and she must have reached her destination.

She couldn't wait to stick her head out and saw someone she would never have dreamed of.

General, Kang Qingyuan - Kang Xiaorong's father!

Why... Hua Rong?! Ji Anni's mind went blank, and she even forgot to struggle to jump out of Hua Rong's arms. She stared blankly at Kang Qingyuan, carefully identifying him, hoping that this was her own illusion, and that she was dazzled and saw it wrong.

But at this time, Kang Qingyuan had already reached out to her, picked her up from Huarong's arms, and threw her into a cage.

The moment her body touched the iron cage, the cold touch brought Ji Anni back to her senses.

She stood up and rushed forward desperately. Just when she was about to escape, Kang Qingyuan kicked the cage door shut.

Like all animals, Ji Anni opened her mouth and bit the iron bars tightly.

Even though I knew I couldn't bite it open, I was unwilling to give up this only chance.

Why, Huarong...why did you hand me over to the general? !

Kang Qingyuan will not be merciful to the fox demon, and he will definitely be in great danger!

In despair and fear, Ji Anni gave up gnawing at the iron bars. She raised her head in pain and stared at Hua Rong in confusion.

Hua Rong turned away and didn't even look at her. This attitude seemed arrogant and contemptuous on the surface, but Ji Anni knew that she was guilty. She knew that she had done something bad, so she felt guilty, and that's why she didn't dare to face her eyes that asked her to explain clearly.

"Is this So Ji?" Kang Hyo Young asked, kicking the cage.

He kicked the cage and it rolled several times. Fortunately, Ji Annie didn't eat much, otherwise she would have vomited.
