Chapter 214 Hiding one’s head and showing one’s tail
Seeing that Prince Ming had returned to his original state, he comforted himself by saying that the snow fox was just an illusion. But now, after seeing the white hairs on the bed, all those self-deceiving lies were shattered. If the snow fox was really just an illusion, then where did these white hairs come from? After thinking about it, there was only one answer, that is, Prince Ming had indeed turned into a fox.
Ji Anni's face turned pale again. Many things that had happened around her recently were beyond her ability to cope with.
"Mother, mother..." Prince Ming was a smart child. He had already noticed that Ji Annie's expression was abnormal and called her softly.
Ji Anni didn't want him to worry about her, so she forced a smile and comforted him, "Tomorrow, go to bed early. Mom will pack up and come over to accompany you right away."
Although she knew that Prince Ming was a fox and a monster, he was only a five-year-old child after all, timid and cowardly, and would never hurt anyone. Ji Anni was not afraid of this little fox monster at all, but felt a little sympathy for him.
"No..." When Prince Ming saw Ji Anni was about to leave, he grabbed her sleeve tightly and begged, "Mother, don't go..."
"Mom will be back soon." Ji Anni just wanted to wash her face, let her hair down and go to sleep.
"Mother...will you abandon me?" Prince Ming asked worriedly, his whole little face wrinkled.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little idiot?" Ji Anni tried to smile but couldn't, her expression was indescribably stiff.
Seeing this, Prince Ming became even more sad, and said in a tearful voice, "Mother, although I feel dizzy and confused today, I... I know what happened. Mother, I... Have I become something else?"
Hearing this, Ji Anni's heart suddenly contracted.
If Prince Ming had memories of his transformation, then the snow fox he saw during the day was definitely not an illusion!
"Mother..." Seeing that Ji Anni didn't say anything, Prince Ming was about to cry again.
Ji Anni hurriedly touched his cheek and comforted him, "Silly boy, what can you become?"
Prince Ming is just a child. If he knew that he was a monster, he would be very scared. So Ji Anni decided to keep it a secret from him for the time being and not tell him about the fox.
"Mother, have I really not turned into anything?" Prince Ming saw Ji Anni's calm expression and subconsciously believed her.
"Go to bed quickly. We have to go back to the East Palace early tomorrow." Ji Anni touched his head and smiled gently.
"Mom, I want to be with you." Prince Ming blinked his eyes and looked at Ji Anni with anticipation.
Seeing this, how could Ji Anni bear to disappoint him? She sighed and said, "When I have my own palace, I will take you to live with me."
"How long will we have to wait?" Prince Ming asked relentlessly, eager to stay with Ji Anni.
Ji Anni couldn't explain it either. Given how much the Queen Mother hated her, she probably wouldn't be eligible for promotion in this lifetime.
"Mother, isn't father the emperor? Why doesn't he let us live together?" Prince Ming couldn't figure out the problem no matter how hard he tried.
Ji Anni could only sigh and said helplessly: "Ming'er, there are things that the emperor can't do..."
"Mother... I, I want to go home..." Prince Ming tried not to cry, but his voice was very hoarse.
Ji Anni felt heartbroken when she heard this. She closed her eyes and said softly, "Mom wants to go home too..."
Return to my own world, back to my parents, grandpa and friends. But...
"It's too late to go back..." Ji Anni's cheeks felt cold, and she choked up and said, "It's... too late to go back..."
"Mother." Prince Ming saw Ji Anni crying and quickly reached out to wipe away her tears, "Mother, don't be sad..."
"Mom is not sad at all, because I still have tomorrow..."
Suddenly, he went from being the protected to being the protector.
The appearance of Prince Ming made Ji Anni find her place again. Whether as Zhao Ji or as Ji Anni, she wanted to protect this child who was more lonely and helpless than herself.

That night, Prince Ming slept soundly in Ji Anni's arms.
Early the next morning, when Hua Rong came knocking on the door, they were both still sleeping and neither of them woke up.
Hua Rong kept knocking until her hands became numb.
Ji Anni was half asleep and half awake, groping around at the head of the bed and under the pillow, looking for the alarm clock everywhere, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Then she suddenly remembered that she was not at home, but in the palace of another world.
"Wait a minute, it's almost here..." Ji Anni yawned, threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed.
When she lifted the quilt, a hint of white was revealed, but she didn't pay attention to it.
After taking two steps, I realized something was wrong. I turned back suddenly and was so scared that I almost screamed.
It turned out that the white unidentified object was actually a furry fox tail!
Ji Anni subconsciously grabbed the tail and pulled it hard.
"Ouch..." Prince Ming groaned in a daze and almost fell off the bed.
Only then did Ji Anni discover that the big furry tail was actually growing on Prince Ming's butt.
Prince Ming's body is still in human shape, but he has a big, fluffy tail behind his butt.
"Oh my God..." Ji Anni didn't know how to think anymore. The knock on the door made her head explode.
Open the door, what if Huarong finds out Prince Ming's foxy trick? If you don't open the door, Huarong will keep knocking.
Ji Anni kept struggling between opening the door or not, and couldn't make a decision.
At this time, Prince Ming squirmed on the bed.
Maybe the base of his tail was pinched by Ji Anni and he subconsciously reached out and touched the back of his butt.
Strangely enough, when Prince Ming touched it, the tail disappeared again.
Not feeling anything strange, Prince Ming turned over and continued to sleep.
Prince Ming slept well, but Ji Anni was so frightened that she kept rubbing her eyes and looking again and again.
How come the tail appears when I say it, and disappears when I say it? If this continues, I will have a nervous breakdown sooner or later.
Fortunately, the tail disappeared in time. If it had really been touched by Prince Ming, he would have been scared to death.
"Empress! Empress!" Hua Rong's shouts became louder and louder.
“Here I come. Here I come.”
Ji Annie couldn't stand the noise anymore and was about to open the door when she suddenly found two furry little triangles popping up on Prince Ming's head - they were actually two fox ears!
"Wow!" Ji Annie rushed forward and rubbed Prince Ming's head.
I hope that by messing up my hair, I can cover up those droopy ears.
"Hmm..." Prince Ming was awakened by Ji Anni. He turned over and rubbed his eyes.
Ji Anni scratched at Prince Ming's head, making his hair look like a bird's nest. As she scratched, her hands suddenly felt empty, and when she looked down, the two ears on Prince Ming's head finally disappeared.
"Huh..." Ji Anni let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Prince Ming had fully woken up and was lying on the bed, looking at Ji Anni with confusion, looking nervous.
Ji Anni could only smile bitterly and said, "Nothing, nothing..."
Isn't this too annoying? Sometimes a tail appears, sometimes two ears appear...
Wouldn't it be too dangerous if Prince Ming were allowed to stay with Concubine An any longer?
Ji Anni thought that this was the only way to get Prince Ming back to her side. Only by keeping Prince Ming by her side could she temporarily keep the secret of Prince Ming's transformation.
"Empress! Empress!" Hua Rong was shouting as if she was going to tear down the house.
"Coming, coming." Ji Anni came to her senses and ran hurriedly to open the door.
"Empress, what are you doing?" Hua Rong looked around the room as soon as she came in.
"I didn't do anything. I was just getting dressed. I can't open the door for you naked, can I?" Ji Anni said as she adjusted the hem of her skirt to prove that she was indeed getting dressed.
Although Hua Rong was a little suspicious, she did not ask any more questions and only said, "My Lady, you have been acting strange since yesterday."
This sentence hit Ji Anni's sore spot, and she could only respond with a dry laugh.
Hua Rong walked to the bedside to help Prince Ming put on his clothes. But Prince Ming didn't need her help at all, he put on his clothes in two or three steps and jumped off the bed.
