Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 378: Hidden Murderous Intentions

When Concubine Yu came in front of the crowd, she seemed very nervous, with fear in her eyes. It seemed that she had not seen so many people in a long time.

Liuguang brought her a high-backed chair and helped her sit down. She held Liuguang's hand tightly, not daring to let go. In her mind, she felt that if she let go, she would have to face the interrogation of so many people alone, but as long as she held on to one person, she could gain a little courage.

The guards that Long Mohan had assigned to the Xian Palace in the past few days were all former Kang Xiaorong and current Liuguang's subordinates. Because of his duties, Liuguang often appeared in front of Concubine Yu. Compared with the unfamiliar or forgotten faces in the Empress Dowager's palace, Concubine Yu seemed to rely more on the slightly familiar Liuguang.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have been feeling better recently?" The general tried to make his voice gentle, but his rough voice still frightened Concubine Yu so much that she trembled.

Seeing this, Long Mohan blocked the general behind him and stepped forward to ask, "My queen, do you know why we asked you to come here?"

Compared to the dignified and serious Kang Qingyuan, Long Mohan seemed very gentle and weak, so Concubine Yu gradually grew bolder and stopped trembling pitifully. But the airtight gazes surrounding her still made her feel very nervous. She was so nervous that she didn't even hear Long Mohan's question just now, and only looked around with her panicked eyes.

When her eyes fell on the face of the empress dowager who was about ten steps away in front of her, her expression suddenly changed and she stared at the empress dowager with fear in her eyes.

The Queen Mother remained calm and quietly looked away to avoid looking at Concubine Yu. But even so, Concubine Yu was still so scared that she wanted to get up and run away.

Seeing that Concubine Yu wanted to escape, Liuguang hurriedly held down her shoulders before she stood up.

Unable to escape, Concubine Yu struggled on her seat like a naughty child, waving her hands and stamping her feet, screaming "ah ah" in panic.

"Calm her down." The general ordered Liu Guang in a low voice. He heard that Concubine Yu's condition had improved, so he agreed to let Concubine Yu come here to testify. But now, after seeing Concubine Yu's crazy appearance, he immediately regretted it. What has improved? Isn't Concubine Yu's current condition the same as three years ago? Apart from screaming and moving around, she knows nothing!

When the Queen Mother heard that she was going to confront Imperial Concubine Yu, she was still a little uneasy, but now that she saw Imperial Concubine Yu's condition, she was no longer afraid. She said to the General with contempt and arrogance, "Humph, didn't I tell you long ago that she is just a lunatic? What is your intention in bringing her here to cause trouble? Considering that Imperial Concubine Yu has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for three years, please be kind and let her go."

In the past three years, Concubine Yu had locked herself up in the palace, not caring about worldly affairs, living a peaceful life in isolation. This time, General Long Mohan and others who deliberately pulled her out of the palace seemed a bit cruel and inhumane.

Seeing that the general was about to lose his temper, Liuguang suddenly said, "General, calm down. I did find out some interesting things from Concubine Yu the other day, otherwise I would not have rashly brought her out."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother realized that the person who intended to use Concubine Yu to make a fuss was not the General and Long Mohan, but the newly appointed Imperial Palace Commander. She was to blame for dismissing Kang Xiaorong from his position, thinking that it would limit the Kang family's monopoly, but it turned out to be a foolish move to invite a wolf into the house. If she knew that even the chaos at the princess' wedding a few days ago was planned by Liuguang, she would definitely regret it even more.

Liuguang's words just now successfully calmed the general's anger, and everyone present was waiting for what would happen next. At this time, Liuguang exchanged a glance with Princess Tianning, who was lying beside the Queen Mother, with a tiny movement that was not noticed by everyone. Yanniang in Princess Tianning's body immediately understood and nodded to Liuguang, as if to say: Everything goes well, just act according to the original plan.

After getting Yanniang's answer, Liuguang turned his gaze back to Concubine Yu's face and asked, "My lady, do you still remember how you got sick?"

Before Concubine Yu could answer, the Queen Mother shouted impatiently: "How could she know! She is not a doctor, and she is not..."

The words stopped here, and the Queen Mother was glad that she didn't shout out the second half of the sentence impulsively. The half of the sentence that was swallowed was "sorcerer", but once these two words were blurted out, it would inevitably reveal the truth and arouse everyone's suspicion. Because if she didn't know the hidden truth, how could she have thought that Concubine Yu's madness was related to magic?

Just as the empress dowager was secretly rejoicing, Concubine Yu suddenly covered her head and let out a painful roar, as if something deep in her brain was breaking out.

"Empress Dowager, can't you be quiet and listen to what Concubine Yu says?" The general saw that the Empress Dowager was hiding something, and he felt more confident of winning.

The reason why Concubine Yu felt a headache and fell into confusion was because Yan Niang had lightened the seal she had imposed on Concubine Yu three years ago. This allowed Concubine Yu to vaguely recall some of what she had seen and heard at the time. But the fragments of memory were buried too deep, making it particularly painful for her to dig them out.

"I, I... I saw a fox, in Concubine Concubine's Palace... Concubine Concubine Concubine's room, a fox..." Concubine Yu covered her head with both hands and murmured. Her crazy expression and unclear words made her look like a witch. In her intermittent words, the key word "fox" became an important clue that was repeated over and over again.

Everyone present held their breath and listened attentively to Concubine Yu's illogical words.

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale. The fact that Concubine Yu could say the word "fox" proved that she really remembered something and was not as stupid as before.

The general stared at Concubine Yu with his eyes shining. He hoped to hear the answer from Concubine Yu: "The Queen Mother is a fox." Even if it was just a crazy talk, he would try his best to prove that it was true. But the result disappointed the general. From beginning to end, Concubine Yu just insisted that Concubine Shui was killed by a fox spirit, but she did not say a word about who the fox spirit was.

"Empress Yu, think carefully, who was that vixen you saw at that time? Why were you so scared when you saw the Queen Mother just now?" asked the general.

He asked so bluntly that it was obvious that he was trying to give Concubine Yu a psychological hint to make her point the finger at the Empress Dowager.

Seeing this, Minister Bao hurriedly defended the Queen Mother and said, "General, Concubine Yu is emotionally unstable right now. Don't put pressure on her anymore. Although her condition has improved, her words are still only a little credible. Don't believe everything you hear..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Princess Tianning suddenly walk towards Concubine Yu.

Everyone present was paying attention to Princess Tianning, and no one listened to Minister Bao's speech.

Princess Tianning pretended to be very angry, grabbed Concubine Yu's shoulders, and shouted unreasonably: "You crazy woman, what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense here? I think you are being instigated by others to cause trouble here, why don't you get out now!"

After saying that, he pushed Concubine Yu a few times. If Liuguang hadn't grabbed Princess Tianning's hand in time, Concubine Yu would have been pushed to the ground.

"Princess, please don't be rude. Concubine Yu is your elder." Liuguang stopped Tianning who was about to use violence against Concubine Yu.

Tian Ning pushed Liu Guang away and grabbed Concubine Yu's hair.

Concubine Yu cried out in pain and struggled under Tian Ning's hands. When Concubine Yu looked up inadvertently, she suddenly saw that the person who grabbed her was not a human, but a vixen with fox ears and amber eyes.

At this moment, the memories of three years ago were completely awakened.

The vixen who has captured Concubine Yu now is exactly the same as the one who killed Concubine Shui three years ago!

"ah!!!"

A hoarse scream cut through the air like a sharp sword, leaving a bloody wound in the ears of everyone present. Some people even covered their ears subconsciously.

In fact, all this was planned. Yan Niang deliberately let Concubine Yu see her true form alone, just to stimulate Concubine Yu to go crazy and let her kill Princess Tianning in madness. In this way, Yan Niang successfully completed her agreement with Liu Guang. After the matter was accomplished, Liu Guang would help her execute Taoist Yuan Rong and promote the relocation of the capital. Only by making Princess Tianning disappear can Yan Niang withdraw from the role. Only by killing Princess Tianning with the hands of the mad Concubine Yu can the matter not be made a big deal, and other people will not be implicated - let Princess Tianning become a poor person who died innocently in an accident.

Seeing Princess Tianning suddenly transformed into the terrifying fox demon from three years ago, Concubine Yu's fragile nerves completely collapsed. She pushed away Tianning who was grabbing her hair with great strength, and fled to the door. Tianning was almost knocked over by her. With Tianning's competitive personality, she would definitely chase after Concubine Yu and fight to the death.

The two of them twisted into a ball and rushed towards the door. The others tried to stop them but failed.

In the end, Princess Tianning was seen pressing down on Concubine Yu, and they both fell to the ground like two wild dogs biting each other.

Concubine Yu, who was at a disadvantage, was already frightened out of her wits and let out sharp wails. She kept pushing and hitting Princess Tianning with her hands.

Suddenly, she saw the hairpin on Princess Tianning's head!

She quickly pulled out the hairpin on Tianning's head. The sharp tip flashed a terrible cold light like a sword.
