Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 403 Do Not Leak

"Ah——" She covered her head and let out a miserable scream.

No, no...my memory, my name...are about to be taken away by Yuan Rong...

In the severe pain, Ji Anni let out a howl. The sound was as shrill as a beast, as if it could tear apart the dark clouds in the sky.

When the cry came out, Ji Anni seemed to have no consciousness of her own. Although the roar came from her throat, it was not controlled by her own consciousness. It was as if... there was another personality hidden in her body, and that personality borrowed her body to make the terrible wail just now. Could it be...

The worst premonition emerged in her head which seemed to be torn apart.

Could it be Soji?

Subconsciously, I looked towards the tightly locked seal on the door, and seemed to see a strange smoke coming out from there. My heart beat faster suddenly, as if something had awakened.

"No...no..." Ji Anni hugged herself tightly and curled up on the ground.

The feeling she had when she and Shui Furong broke into the Demon-Suppressing Temple that day came back to her mind again, and Ji Anni had a premonition that she was about to transform.

In order to prevent her consciousness from being taken away by the fox demon, Ji Anni clenched her fists and let her nails pierce into her palms, using the pain to maintain her consciousness. According to previous experience, as long as she was a little careless, her consciousness would be immediately taken over by the fox demon.

"Princess Zhao Cong..." Yuan Rong, who was floating in the air, showed a gloomy expression.

No, he must not be allowed to read out Zhao Ji's real name - this is the last bit of faith left for Ji Anni.

The movements of Cang Gui's struggle in the snake group became smaller and smaller, as if he was about to be swallowed by the black snakes.

What should I do? What should I do... Ji Anni had a severe headache and could no longer think of anything.

At this moment, an incredible voice suddenly came from my ear: Baby...

If I heard correctly, it was indeed the word "baby". The two words floated in the air, sounding very unreal, like an auditory hallucination. There was a hint of coldness in the lightness, and a sense of horror.

Who? Ji Anni opened her eyes and looked towards the direction where the voice came from.

But there was nothing around except Yuan Rong's sinister smile and the terrifying black snake.

Just when Ji Anni thought she had heard it wrong, the voice rang again: Baby...

It became clearer and I could even hear the sadness and longing contained in those two words.

Ji Anni was cold all over. This voice reminded her of a legend she had heard from Princess Tianning before. It was said that a fox bead was sealed in the Demon Suppression Temple, and this bead would often call out "baby, baby..." Because the bead was too scary, the palace servants decided to put the bead outside the palace. But no matter where the bead was placed, it would always return to the Demon Suppression Temple the next day. With no other options, they had to seal the bead on the spot, and this is how the current Demon Suppression Temple came into being.

"Baby……"

As the voice rang for the third time, Ji Anni felt a cool hand gently caressing her cheek.

No... His eyes widened, and there was no Yuan Rong in his vision. Only a bright white light remained. A figure could be vaguely seen in the white light. The figure's beautiful figure was as graceful and outstanding as a fairy.

Xuelan...

The name naturally came to her mind. Although Ji Anni had never seen Xue Lan, she subconsciously knew that the misty white shadow in front of her was Zhao Ji's grandmother - Xue Lan.

No, I'm not your baby...

Ji Anni closed her eyes tightly, trying to dispel the illusion of Xue Lan from her mind. But it was no use. Even with her eyes closed, Xue Lan's figure was still deeply imprinted in front of her eyes. The illusion did not appear in front of her eyes at all, but was directly imprinted in her brain.

"Baby, is that you..."

no! no!

I wanted to answer, but the other party seemed to have heard nothing and kept repeating the same question.

"Don't hurt my baby!"

The voice suddenly became sharp and hoarse. It was no longer the soft and gentle voice when speaking to Ji Anni, but a ferocious voice to the enemy - that sentence was a warning to Yuan Rong.

"Ah!" Ji Anni screamed wildly and could no longer control herself.

The heat surging in her body was about to overwhelm her, and her blurred consciousness was no longer able to maintain her thoughts.

Is it going to transform again...

Unable to think any further, consciousness quickly disappeared into chaos.

Faintly, it seemed as if I saw Yuan Rong's miasma dissipating in the white light...

What happened? What happened? What did Xue Lan do?

I don’t know anything, I can’t think of anything…

In the Xianke Pavilion, Ji Anni lay quietly on the bed, motionless, with a very peaceful expression. If it weren't for the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest, one would almost think she was dead.

Hua Rong sat beside the bed, looking at Ji Anni's sleeping face expressionlessly.

Behind Hua Rong, Yun Zhen stood quietly by the door. In fact, Yun Zhen had been standing here for half a quarter of an hour. He deliberately did not make any sound and did not attract Hua Rong's attention, just to avoid Hua Rong discovering him so that he could observe Hua Rong's expression carefully. However, from Hua Rong's face, which was more rigid than a sculpture, there was no clue at all. Yun Zhen could not guess what Hua Rong was thinking. Does this expressionless expression prove that Hua Rong is thinking about a problem that cannot be guessed?

Yun Zhen coughed, Hua Rong turned around and said softly, "National Master."

Then she stood up from the bed and came to Yun Zhen.

"Master, when will the queen wake up?"

When the sky suddenly began to rain heavily, Hua Rong did not follow Yi Zhen, Prince Ming and others back to Wenhua Courtyard, but followed Ji Anni closely to the Demon Temple. Here, she witnessed the confrontation between Ji Anni and Yuan Rong, and also saw...

The terrifying scene where Ji Anni transforms into a fox!

Ji Anni, who turned into a fox demon, did nothing but gently pushed her palm in the direction of Yuan Rong.

Hua Rong, who was hiding not far behind them, suddenly felt a strong wind sweeping and rocks flying everywhere, and she could not see anything. When she regained her vision, she found that Yuan Rong had disappeared, and Ji Anni, who had lost consciousness, fell to the ground motionless.

Hua Rong hurried over to check, and found that Ji Anni's fox ears had not disappeared yet.

Hua Rong touched Ji Anni's fox ears with her own hands and couldn't believe the reality that appeared before her eyes.

Fox ears, fox ears... They have warmth and touch. Such real fox ears made Hua Rong, who was usually calm, lose her composure.

I still remember that not long ago, she promised the general to find out Zhao Ji's identity. As long as Zhao Ji's identity is found out, the engagement between Kang Xiaorong and Princess Tianning can be cancelled. It was like God's blessing that she discovered Zhao Ji's true identity without any effort.

This is a horrible truth...

Zhao Ji is not a human, but a fox demon! She is the fox demon that once plunged the palace into bloody chaos!

I should have discovered it earlier... Haha, why didn't I discover this secret earlier...

She quickly gathered her thoughts and regained her composure. She helped Ji Anni to the Xianke Pavilion and asked Yun Zhen for help.

A day had passed and it was already evening, but Ji Annie showed no signs of waking up.

Hua Rong turned around when she heard Yun Zhen's cough and looked at the person in front of her who was very likely to know all of Zhao Ji's secrets.

At this time, Hua Rong finally understood why Ji Anni trusted Yun Zhen. Ji Anni was not Zhao Ji at all, but a fox demon. Zhao Ji and Yun Zhen had no intersection, but there might be some unspeakable secrets between the fox demon and the Taoist Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen said to Hua Rong, "You don't have to worry too much. Concubine Zhao Cong is fine now. She just needs to rest well and she will recover."

"Then I will prepare food for Her Majesty. When Her Majesty wakes up later, she will definitely be hungry." Hua Rong said and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment." Yun Zhen suddenly called Hua Rong. Hua Rong said goodbye so quickly, as if she was deliberately avoiding the conversation with him, which made Yun Zhen feel a little uneasy.

"Huarong, how did Concubine Zhao Cong faint?" In fact, when sending Ji Anni to Xianke Pavilion, Hua Rong had already briefly reported the incident to Yun Zhen, but Yun Zhen asked again just to guess from Hua Rong's expression whether she was hiding something.

Hua Rong calmly replied, "Hua Rong knew nothing. She only saw the queen surrounded by a cloud of black fog. After the queen screamed a few times, she suddenly fell to the ground. I hurried over and rescued the queen."

"Then what else did you see?" Yun Zhen was sure that Hua Rong was not honest with him.

Hua Rong could tell that Yun Zhen was not asking casually, but had a purpose. She could not help but be slightly alert and answered carefully: "In addition to the queen, I also saw a wounded eagle. I wanted to rescue the eagle, but the eagle was very alert and very stubborn, and refused to let me get close. When I was about to touch it, it flew away in panic."

He brought the topic to the eagle, hoping to create an illusion that Yun Zhen would think that he was not paying special attention to Concubine Zhao Cong.

Yun Zhen nodded, knowing that the eagle in Hua Rong's words was Cang Gui. Hua Rong's description was very consistent with Cang Gui's personality, so he should not be lying. Being able to fly meant that Cang Gui was not injured, and Yun Zhen was slightly relieved.

But Hua Rong's intention to change the subject did not come true, Yun Zhen followed up and asked: "Then what about Concubine Zhao Cong...has there been any changes?"

He was worried that Ji Anni would reveal her true colors in front of Hua Rong. But if she really did reveal her true colors, Hua Rong's attitude would be too indifferent. Or... Hua Rong deliberately concealed the truth she saw and pretended to be calm, but actually had other intentions...

Yun Zhen's sharp question made Hua Rong stop talking.

"Hua Rong, since you can't say 'no', then it must be 'yes'. What did you see?"

"What does the Imperial Master want to hear?" Hua Rong suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze was threatening, "Does the Imperial Master already have the answer in his mind? If he already has the answer, why bother asking so hard? Imperial Master... you should know more... than me, right?"

Yun Zhen was speechless, overwhelmed by Hua Rong's momentum. He didn't want to interrogate Hua Rong, but to confirm his guess. Now that his guess has been confirmed, he stopped asking questions and just said lightly: "No matter what you saw, don't tell anyone..."
