Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 328 Crying with joy

After saying these harsh words, the Queen Mother walked away without even looking back.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, even the eunuch hurriedly chased after her, shouting as he ran: "Queen Mother, calm down, Queen Mother, calm down..."

The group of guards who were called in by Eunuch Lian didn't know whether to leave or stay, and looked at each other. Finally, Yue Mao gave their leader a look that said "You'd better leave first", and then the group of guards quietly retreated.

Yuemao followed the guards and left, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

At this time, Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong were the only ones left in the room. The room was packed with people just a moment ago, but now it seemed deserted.

Princess Tianning stood there in a daze, looking at the place where the Queen Mother had just stood, her mind was in a mess, tears were streaming down her face. It was hard to believe that just now, she really yelled out the four words "I won't get married".

This final determination, this final choice, is nothing compared to the Queen Mother's anger.

The Queen Mother said that was Tian Ning's willfulness, but in fact Tian Ning was very dissatisfied. That was not willfulness, not recklessness. Perhaps, that was the real deliberation and the real good end. However, the Queen Mother ignored this decision.

At this point, even Princess Tianning could not convince the Queen Mother to cancel the engagement.

Princess Tianning knew that her mother loved her, and she tried every means to marry her into the Kang family. But... was this really the right thing to do? Princess Tianning was always confused and bewildered...

She tried to firm herself up and convince herself to obey her mother's arrangements.

When you get married, you should marry the one you love the most, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life - Tian Ning dared not forget his mother's words for a moment.

At that time, Tian Ning had already seen from the empress dowager's firm, persistent and resentful eyes that that was the conclusion her mother had drawn after spending her entire life.

Because the Queen Mother herself had once missed out on true love, she did not want her daughter to make the same mistake as her.

The Queen Mother never mentioned that past relationship or that sad experience to Tian Ning, but Tian Ning seemed to have understood it long ago. After all, mother and daughter are connected by heart, and Tian Ning had already understood the Queen Mother's intentions.

Just now, when Tian Ning said the words "I won't get married", she seemed to feel relieved. These four words had been lurking in her heart for days, but she didn't have the courage to say them out loud.

Now that it has finally been said - although it has not brought any change to the situation, Tianning seems to have accomplished an important mission - there is no regret from now on.

When the Queen Mother left with the words "Marry me, marry me" and left, Tian Ning was finally relieved. She needed the Queen Mother to use such words to stop her wild thoughts and force herself to move forward. If the Queen Mother really canceled the engagement because of Tian Ning's words, Tian Ning would feel overwhelmed and regretful. She was conflicted and in pain. Perhaps she could only calm down after knowing that there was no turning back.

Princess Tianning stood there blankly, thinking a lot. The tears on her face dried up and condensed on her face. Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, she suddenly heard a light sound of footsteps behind her.

Those were the footsteps of Kang Xiaorong, who was approaching her.

Suddenly, Princess Tianning seemed to be frozen, and her limbs became extremely stiff. She couldn't guess Kang Xiaorong's thoughts, and didn't understand why Kang Xiaorong approached her. She was a little scared, a little nervous, and even a little excited.

Before she could prepare herself mentally, a warm hand touched her shoulder. Kang Xiaorong turned her body around, from "facing him" to "facing him".

The intense heartbeat was the only sound that could be heard at this moment. Princess Tianning lowered her head awkwardly, but could still feel Kang Xiaorong's two scorching gazes above her head.

Suddenly, Kang Xiaorong lifted up Princess Tianning's face and looked into her eyes.

There was still a layer of tears in Princess Tianning's eyes, and Kang Xiaorong's face was blurry through the tears.

Faced with this blurry face and blurry expression, Princess Tianning's blank mind did not produce any illusions.

Princess Tianning's body was still stiff, and she felt cold all over. Suddenly, she felt a strange warmth on her face. After a long pause, she realized that it was Kang Xiaorong's finger temperature.

His fingertips slid across his cheeks and the corners of his eyes, wiping away the last few tears that had yet to flow.

He was wiping his tears, he didn't want to see himself crying...

It turned out that he didn't want to see himself cry... he didn't want to hurt himself.

At that moment, Princess Tianning's eyes were filled with tears. The tears that had clearly stopped flowing a long time ago, after Kang Xiaorong's fingertips brushed across her, they could not stop pouring out, and the tears kept pouring out.

I couldn't utter a word, only sobs could be heard in my throat.

Kang Xiaorong seemed to be shocked by Princess Tianning's reaction and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Princess?..."

However, the only response he got was still sobs.

"Don't cry, Princess... Don't be sad..." Kang Xiaorong, who was not good at comforting others, didn't know what else he could do for Princess Tianning except to keep wiping the tears from her face.

At this time, Princess Tianning gently stroked the back of Kang Xiaorong's hand and said with a sob, "I'm not sad... Brother Xiaorong, I'm crying with joy... I thought, I thought you would never care about me again..."

I thought he would never care about me or comfort me again, but now, he gently wiped away my tears.

Princess Tianning could no longer express this joy and this feeling of being touched in words. All her emotions could only turn into tears that kept falling down her face.

Kang Xiaorong's every move affects Princess Tianning's joy and sorrow. When Kang Xiaorong is silent, Princess Tianning will be sad; when Kang Xiaorong frowns, Princess Tianning will be worried.

In the past few days, Kang Xiaorong felt more and more deeply that he had an irreplaceable position in Princess Tianning's heart. He saw everything Princess Tianning had done for him and was touched in his heart, but he did not dare to show even a little tenderness to Princess Tianning, because that would make him feel like a betrayer.

"No matter what, Princess...thank you for your feelings for me." Kang Xiaorong's throat choked up, "I don't know if I can repay you, but at least...let me say thank you..."

Apart from this thank you, Kang Xiaorong really didn't dare to reveal too much to Princess Tianning.

In front of him was a beautiful, stubborn, fragile, strong girl, also the girl who would become his wife.

But, can he really accept her? Can he really... love her?

At the same time, across a large yard, Ji Anni was looking up at the bed.

Just now, the Queen Mother and Eunuch Lian went in, and then a large group of guards went in. Then the Queen Mother and Eunuch Lian came out, and the large group of guards also came out. But Princess Tianning went in and did not come out.

What exactly happened on the other side?

What she hated was that the windows of Kang Xiaorong's room were always closed, and Ji Anni didn't have X-ray vision, so even if she opened her eyes wide, she couldn't see what was happening on the other side.

She wanted to sneak to the door to spy on the situation, but she was afraid of bumping into something she shouldn't. She kept looking around in worry, muttering to herself, "Nothing will happen...Nothing will happen..."

"What do you mean nothing will happen?" A man's voice suddenly came to my ears.

"Wow!" Ji Anni screamed in fear, and her soul was almost scared away.

I subconsciously looked back and saw that the perpetrator not only did not repent, but was also smiling and enjoying the sight of me being scared out of my wits by him.

"Your Majesty..." After seeing the face of the person clearly, Ji Anni was frightened for the second time.

What happened today? It was really exciting for a small imperial hospital to have such big names in the palace, such as the empress dowager, the princess, and the emperor, appear one after another.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Ji Anni was so surprised that she even forgot to greet him. She just stared blankly at Long Mohan's amiable face.

This emperor is really hard to understand. Sometimes he seems approachable, gentle and kind, but sometimes he seems mean and cunning, with ulterior motives, as if he has a dual personality.

"Seeing you look so energetic, I feel relieved." Long Mohan said as he reached out to help Ji Anni tidy up the strands of hair on her forehead.

His actions were too intimate, and Ji Annie's heart beat faster and her limbs became stiff. She didn't dare to move and just begged him to take his hand back quickly and never touch her again.

Ji Anni's current dazed reaction was much better than a month ago. If it was a month ago, she would have grabbed Long Mohan's suddenly extended hand and thrown him over her shoulder, sending him flying.

After Long Mohan helped Ji Annie comb her hair, he not only did not move his right hand away, but also slowly inserted his fingers into her hair along Ji Annie's head.

Ji Anni's head was gently supported by his palm, forcing her to raise her head slightly, and they looked at each other.

Under the other party's unblinking gaze, Ji Annie's heart was pounding, and she didn't know whether to continue suppressing her violent instincts or struggle to break free.

Just as she was hesitating, Long Mohan suddenly started to murmur, "Zhao Ji... Zhao Ji..."

Ji Anni waited nervously for his next words, but after waiting for a long time, all she heard was the name "Zhao Ji".

Long Mohan's gaze became deeper and deeper, as if he wanted to penetrate Ji Anni's body and into the depths of her soul.

The name "Soo Ji" that came out of his mouth seemed to have a "question mark" at the end.

As he was called out, Long Mohan kept asking himself: Is this woman in front of him really the woman he once loved deeply? Is she really the Zhao Ji he loved deeply?
