Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 466: No Response from the Ghost

"Oh, I have another idea. I can try to summon his shikigami."

Ji Anni closed her eyes and kept calling out in her heart: "Cang Gui, Cang Gui, answer me."

Cang Gui is Ji Annie's last hope. If even Cang Gui can't help her, she really doesn't know what to do.

However, what was despairing was that no matter how she called Cang Gui's name, she never got any response.

Suddenly he remembered that after Cang Gui helped him escape from the Road of Life and Death, he was willing to be a bait to divert Liu Guang's attention and help him escape.

The last time I contacted Cang Gui was when he was caught by Prince Ming and his men in Wenhua Courtyard.

He desperately called out to Cang Gui, but the response he got was from Yun Zhen's apprentice Xuan Ji Zi.

Xuanjizi said that he and Canggui were both in the Xianke Pavilion. When Xuanjizi asked where Ji Anni was, a sharp eagle cry interrupted their connection. The eagle cry was probably Canggui reminding her not to reveal her whereabouts.

If this is true, Cang Gui has already fallen into the hands of Xuanjizi and Liuguang...

Thinking of this, Ji Anni's heart tightened again.

Seeing Ji Anni's expression becoming more and more solemn, Concubine Gan guessed some of the truth and couldn't help but frowning deeply.

Xiaoxue, who knows more about magic and Taoism, said: "After the master dies, the shikigami will disappear... If Canggui doesn't respond, maybe..."

"No! Yun Zhen will not die!" Before Xiaoxue could finish her words, Ji Anni yelled loudly.

She didn't want to hear any speculation that Yun Zhen had met with an unexpected accident. She firmly believed that Yun Zhen was still alive and that she would see Yun Zhen again.

Because... he promised himself...

Promise to be my family, promise to be my support, promise to leave the palace with me...

Yun Zhen will never leave me until these promises are fulfilled.

She had to remind herself of this all the time, otherwise, even Ji Anni herself would be swallowed by despair.

Seeing that Ji Anni was somewhat out of control, Xiaoxue hurriedly helped her calm down and advised: "Don't worry, Madam. What I just said is just one possibility. There is another possibility, that is, the Shikigami has been controlled by someone else, so it can't respond to your call..."

"Being controlled by someone else..."

Could it be that Xuanjizi and Liuguang really cast some kind of binding spell on Cang Gui, preventing him from returning to themselves and Yun Zhen?

Ji Anni guessed correctly.

After Cang Gui was arrested by Liu Guang, he was quickly sent to Xuan Ji Zi.

Under Liuguang's command, Xuanjizi cast a pupil spell on Canggui that had a binding effect.

The so-called pupil spell is a powerful spell that works by gazing at the pupil. A curse mark is engraved in the pupil of the person being cast. When the person being cast looks at the caster, the spell will take effect.

Xuanjizi cast an eye spell called "binding" on Canggui's left eye.

As long as Cang Gui and Xuan Ji Zi look at each other, he must obey Xuan Ji Zi's orders and be used by Xuan Ji Zi.

Not long ago, Ji Anni was rescued from General Kang Qingyuan by Xiaoxue, Zhuang Xiaomeng and Chang Sun Mingri. The general ordered Xuanjizi to find out what kind of monster had bewitched Zhuang Xiaomeng and Chang Sun Mingri and dared to go against him.

The shikigami sent by Xuanjizi was none other than Canggui.

Now, Cang Gui, who saw Zhuang Xiaomeng, Chang Sun Mingri and Xiao Xue meet up with his own eyes, is passing this news to Xuanjizi and Liuguang of Xianke Pavilion.

Cang Gui said, "After the two young masters Zhuang and Changsun left, they immediately met up with a palace maid. It was indeed them who rescued Zhao Ji."

"Palace maid...it turned out to be her..." Liuguang touched his chin thoughtfully.

The only maid in the palace who has such ability and courage is probably the White Rabbit.

Thinking of the stubborn look of the white rabbit, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in my heart.

I really want to see her being tortured by the poison of the Ayaka flower and having to seek help from me soon.

As he thought about it, a cold and cruel smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Captain, do you know who is the palace maid who rescued Zhao Ji?" Xuanjizi asked.

Liuguang smiled without saying anything, not intending to share the secret of the white rabbit with Xuanjizi.

He turned to Canggui and asked, "Where is Zhaoji now?"

Cang Gui said stiffly, "I don't know."

Liuguang's expression suddenly turned stern, and he threatened, "It's not that you don't know, but you don't want to answer. You'd better obey me, or I'll kill you!"

If Xuanjizi used the pupil spell to issue a "suicide" order, Cang Gui would have no room to struggle at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Cang Gui was so powerful and had connections with two key figures, Zhao Ji and Yun Zhen, he would have been executed by Liu Guang long ago.

Although he was cursed, Cang Gui remained loyal to Yun Zhen. Facing the threat, he replied without showing any weakness: "If I didn't have an unfinished mission, I would rather die than let you control me!"

He must ensure Zhao Ji's safety, complete the last task entrusted to him by Yun Zhen, and send Zhao Ji to a safe place.

If it weren't for completing this mission, he wouldn't have become the puppet he is now.

Liuguang did not argue with him, and murmured in a low voice: "However, since you are still alive, it means that Yun Zhen is not dead either..."

After being buried in the Road of Life and Death for five whole days, Yun Zhen was still able to survive. His vitality is really tenacious.

There were many times when Liuguang wished Yunzhen would die so that he would have the chance to get closer to Baoer.

But somewhere in the dark, there is always a force that favors Yun Zhen...

Perhaps it is because Yun Zhen himself is not an ordinary person, so he can always survive in desperate situations.

Liuguang never deliberately wanted to kill Yunzhen, but he always inadvertently fantasized that if there was no Yunzhen in this world, if there was no Yunzhen by Baoer's side...whether his own fate and Baoer's fate would develop in a better direction...

Thinking of Baoer, my heart began to ache again.

When I was little, I liked Baoer and wanted to take Baoer away from Yunzhen. But at the same time, I felt that Yunzhen was the one who could bring Baoer happiness, so I always looked at them with jealousy and envy, keeping a distance between them as friends.

Ever since Baoer entered the palace ten years ago, Liuguang began to doubt Yunzhen.

She suspected that he was not a man worthy of Baoer's lifelong trust, but he finally chose to remain silent...

However, when Bao Er died in prison, and his living body turned into a stiff corpse, his suspicion finally turned into regret and anger, because this was not the final outcome of Bao Er that he longed to see...

Should I hate Yun Zhen? Hate him for failing to live up to my expectations.

Or should I hate myself? Hate myself for giving away the chance to make the woman I love happy.

His head started to hurt again. Ever since Baoer's death, these questions have been bothering him all the time.

"Captain, Captain..." Seeing that his face was turning pale, Xuanjizi couldn't help but interrupt his thoughts and asked, "Should we continue to track the whereabouts of the palace maid and Zhaoji?"

Liuguang shook his head and said, "No need, the maid will come to find me herself, and then I will ask her the truth."

Tomorrow will be the fifth day since Xiaoxue drank the Caixiang flower, and it will also be the first day that the poison of the Caixiang flower will take effect.

She will definitely find the antidote herself.

Then, let her kill Ji Anni.

That night, Ji Anni stayed awake all night in the South Palace.

She curled up in front of the window, looking at the big, bright moon in the sky.

I don’t know what happened to Yun Zhen who was in the Road of Life and Death, I don’t know what happened to Prince Ming who was possessed by Yuan Rong, I don’t know what happened to Cang Gui who was taken away by Liu Guang…

Everyone is in danger, but you are the only one enjoying the night in a warm room.

Wouldn't it be great if I had the power to help them?

Xiaoxue and Concubine Gan thought they could rescue Prince Ming, so they risked their lives to save themselves from Kang Qingyuan.

But he is a huge burden, a baggage without any magical power.

Not only could he not save Prince Ming from danger, he could not even protect himself, and might even implicate Concubine Gan, who had taken him in.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

Who knew that after this sigh, Xiaoxue's voice was heard: "My lady, can't you sleep?"

The bedroom door was not closed. Xiaoxue knocked a few times symbolically and then pushed the door open.

In front of Xiaoxue, Ji Anni stopped trying to be strong and said with some pain: "How can I sleep alone when I think of Yun Zhen and Prince Ming in danger?"

"Yun Zhen has great magical powers, he will find a way to escape from danger; Prince Ming is protected by Xue Lan, so he should be safe for the time being. Your Majesty, you should worry about yourself first. If the general wants to kill you, he will definitely search for you."

"If I stay here, will it implicate you?" Ji Anni didn't want to see innocent people being harmed by her the most.

Ever since Concubine Baogui died, she became afraid of losing anyone around her.

Once you've experienced that kind of pain, you never want to experience it a second time.

"We have even taken in Prince Ming, so why should we be afraid of taking in the queen?" Xiaoxue felt relieved for her.

In fact, Xiaoxue was very worried that the news of Zhaoji's stay in the Southern Palace would be leaked and would implicate Concubine Gan, but Concubine Gan would never let Zhaoji leave no matter what. So Xiaoxue could only hope that God would protect her and that the general would not find out.

"My lady, Xiaoxue came here tonight because she actually has something to tell you."

"Just tell me, I know you're doing this for my own good."

"To be honest, I was once arrested by the captain, and he already knew the identity of the rabbit demon."

"Captain? Is it Liuguang?" Ji Anni shuddered.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly cynical young man always appears at the critical moment.

Xiaoxue nodded and continued, "He forced me to take a poison and made me his servant. Although he hasn't given me any orders yet, I'm afraid... one day, I will do something wrong against my will, and then..."

Ji Anni swallowed, feeling that Xiaoxue's words carried a bit of solemnity as if she was entrusting a last wish.

"At that time... I hope that you can help my master fulfill her wish on my behalf. Even if it is to repay my master for risking her life to save Prince Ming and you... Because in the palace, apart from you, I really can't think of another person who has the ability and reason to help her..."
