Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 304 Please Take Care

"Okay, then let's do it tomorrow morning." Shui Furong was not afraid of waiting any longer.

"Then please have a good rest tonight, and I will come to pick you up to the West Palace tomorrow morning?" Eunuch Hua asked with a smile on his face.

"Okay. But not too early, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up then." Since coming to Wenhuayuan Taoyuan, Shui Furong has become completely relaxed, doing nothing every day, and always sleeping until she wakes up naturally. Sometimes, even if she wakes up naturally, she still doesn't want to get up, and she tosses and turns in bed until the sun is high in the sky, then she reluctantly gets up.

Eunuch Hua smiled and bowed three times in a row before leaving with the young eunuchs.

As soon as they left, Shui Furong returned to the room and unfolded the imperial edict again, reading it over and over again, as if afraid of making a mistake. The more he read, the happier he became. Finally, he was so excited that he even imitated Eunuch Hua and proudly read the imperial edict again.

"Okay, Furong, don't be so happy." Ji Anni was worried about him.

A man disguised as a woman to enter the palace is already a heinous crime. Even if the emperor does not pursue it, if the matter is heard by the empress dowager in the future, it will definitely cause a bloody storm. And now, he not only has to dress up as a woman, but also pretend to be a pregnant woman. This task is more challenging. If he is not careful, even if her father is a high-ranking official, he can escape the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of life. He will always be punished.

"Hehe, Xiao Zhao, are you jealous?" Shui Furong poked Ji Anni's swollen cheeks with the handle of the imperial edict.

The handle was made of ox horn and was very hard. In addition, Shui Furong was not careful about the strength of her strikes, so she poked Ji Anni's cheek, causing a slight pain.

"Okay, stop it." Ji Anni pushed him away angrily, turned around and closed the door, staring at Shui Furong with a serious expression.

Shui Furong was like Sun Wukong playing with his golden hoop, tossing the imperial edict in his hands over and over again. His face was full of joy, and he had no idea that this imperial edict might very well become his death warrant.

"Furong, Furong..." Ji Anni called out twice, trying to tell him to stop, but he didn't hear her and used the Great Spin of the Universe again. With a flick of his fingertips, the movement was like spinning a pen, and the imperial edict obediently turned five or six times on his fingertips.

Seeing how flexible her fingertips are, I wonder if she used to play with the Eighteen Styles of Subduing the Dragon Pen Spinning often?

That's not right. The pens of this era are all brushes. If they are turned around, wouldn't the ink spots fly all over the sky? Ji Anni thought about it, and her thoughts flew to the sky. She forgot to remind Shui Furong of the precautions after becoming a concubine.

Seeing Ji Anni in a daze, Shui Furong poked her with the handle of the imperial edict and asked, "What's wrong? Don't always have a stern face. Do you really not want to see the emperor make me a concubine? Normally, you don't seem to like that stupid emperor, so why are you still reluctant to leave him at the critical moment? Don't worry, he and I are just playing around and getting what we need."

Shui Furong is probably the first person in the palace who dares to call Long Mohan a stupid emperor.

Ji Anni pushed away Shui Furong, who was so excited that she almost stopped singing, and said gloomily, "I don't care who he appoints as the imperial concubine. I'm just worried about you... I'm afraid, afraid... I'm afraid that you will be used by him..."

In fact, Ji Anni has always been uneasy in her heart, always feeling that the emperor is deliberately dragging Shui Furong into the quagmire.

"Haha." Shui Furong put her hands on her hips and laughed, and said arrogantly, "How could I, such a smart person, be used by him?"

"Be careful, too much joy can lead to sorrow, and disaster can come from the sky. Being too clever can backfire. The emperor is definitely not a fool."

"Okay, okay, your husband is extremely smart, the best in the world, a dragon among men, the reincarnation of a god, okay?"

Shui Furong turned a deaf ear to Ji Anni's warning and thought that Ji Anni was protecting her beloved.

"Furong, please listen to me carefully. There are evil spirits rampant in this palace. From now on, not only will your every move be watched by people, but maybe some monsters will be watching you too..." Ji Annie had a serious expression and a terrifying look, and she looked extremely scary.

Shui Furong suddenly felt as if she had been splashed with cold water, from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. If Ji Anni hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that there were many monsters lurking in this palace. Even if he was not afraid of bad "people", he was afraid of bad "monsters"...

"Then what should I do? Why not... why not..." Shui Furong looked up and suddenly saw the evil-avoiding Bagua hanging on the window. "Why don't I take it down and bring it over?"

Seeing Shui Furong stuttering in fear, Ji Anni couldn't help but smile. She wasn't gloating, she just thought Shui Furong's eyes, which were rolling around like a little mouse, were very cute.

"What are you laughing at? Are you trying to scare me?" Shui Furong raised her voice a few degrees.

"No, no, I was just thinking that when I was named the Imperial Concubine and moved into the Right Courtyard, Princess Tianning brought Yun Zhen to exorcise the demons for the Right Courtyard. I think this is probably a ritual in the palace. Don't worry, when you go to the West Palace, someone will come to help you exorcise the demons. By then, the West Palace may have dozens of times more gossips to ward off evil spirits than here." Ji Anni guessed.

"Really?" Shui Furong was skeptical.

"Are you scared?" Ji Anni raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you not afraid of monsters? Back then at the Demon Temple, didn't you support me who had suddenly transformed, and go to Xian Palace to find Concubine Yu?"

"That's because... because... because it's you who transformed..."

If it were someone else who suddenly turned into a monster with glowing eyes, Shui Furong would have fled in panic.

He couldn't guarantee that he wasn't afraid of monsters, but he could guarantee that he wasn't afraid of Ji Annie. It was because the person who transformed in front of him was Ji Annie, not someone else, that he was brave for once. Under the circumstances at that time, he couldn't just abandon Ji Annie and run away, right?

"That's true." Ji Anni agreed with Shui Furong's answer without thinking too much. If Shui Furong had been the one who transformed, she probably wouldn't have been so unethical as to leave him and run away.

#

On the last night in Taoyuan, Shui Furong chatted with Ji Anni all night. They chatted until their throats were dry, and then they slowly stopped. Although this period of time was short, it made their relationship closer.

House arrest is also a form of prison, but here, I don’t feel like I’m being tortured at all.

Each other's presence helps each other relieve the pain of mobility difficulties.

After tonight, Shui Furong is free, but Ji Anni is still locked up here.

In fact, Shui Furong's joy when she received the imperial edict was partly fake. Because she didn't want to talk about separation, she tried to keep the atmosphere the same as usual.

Shui Furong's mouth corners were sore from laughing today. She never knew that laughing could be so tiring, as if it was a physical work.

The next morning, Shui Furong got up early.

Ji Anni was still sleeping soundly. He did not wake her up, but just stared at her sleeping face for a long time.

There probably won't be such an opportunity in the future...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

They chatted until very late last night, and Ji Anni probably didn't sleep well. He didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he packed his clothes quietly without making any noise.

After he was ready, he sat quietly in the room and waited for about a quarter of an hour, and Eunuch Hua came as promised.

After hearing Eunuch Hua's voice, Shui Furong spontaneously ran out with her luggage, not giving the other party a chance to knock on the door, for fear that it would wake Ji Anni from her sweet dream.

He left without a word, leaving only a short note beside Ji Anni's bed, which read: "The sun sometimes shines, and people sometimes come and go. We say goodbye now, and we will meet again later. Please take care of yourself, and don't miss me."

When Ji Anni saw the note, an hour had passed.

She rubbed her eyes and read the note over and over again before she finally understood: Shui Furong is gone?

As if struck by lightning, she turned her head sharply and looked at Shui Furong's bed opposite her. The bed was empty, the quilt was neatly folded, and the sheets were stretched flat, as if no one had ever slept on it.

At that moment, Ji Anni really felt a deep reluctance and nostalgia.

Whenever I think about the fact that I will be alone in the future and it may be difficult to see him again, my heart suddenly becomes empty, as if a very important part of my life has been suddenly taken away.

But think about it carefully, even if we are separated, aren't we all in the same palace? As long as the Queen Mother is kind enough to cancel my house arrest order, I can visit people everywhere in the palace like before. But... Alas...

When will the Queen Mother remember me?

Ji Anni thought pessimistically, the Queen Mother had probably forgotten her a long time ago, right? If the wedding date of Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong was really set, how could the Queen Mother, who was devoted to Princess Tianning's wedding, have the time to ask about herself?

Even for such a serious matter as Yan Niang's disappearance, it seemed that the imperial guards did not dare to alarm the empress dowager and handled it on their own.

Then, as a little concubine locked up in a forgotten corner, am I destined to live out my life in loneliness?

As soon as Shui Furong left, Ji Anni immediately fell into a low mood.

All kinds of pessimistic thoughts flooded in like a flood, and soon she felt a sense of suffocation as if she was drowning.

Only when Huarong brought her lunch at noon could she say a few words.

After Huarong left, she stared out the window in a daze.

Outside the window is a wide grassland, which seems to be used for horse racing or polo. When there is no game, there is no one in sight. So boring, so boring...

Just when Ji Anni was about to close the window and take a nap, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head and she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Prince Ming had climbed in through this window with Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri.

Since those three little kids could get in, then a good athlete like me should be able to get out as well!

Thinking of this, Ji Anni leaned her upper body out of the window and carefully examined the terrain outside.
