Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 458: Accidental Injury of the Prince

The way back to the palace was very quiet. Even when passing through a busy city, I could not feel the hustle and bustle of the outside world at all.

Immersed in his own world, Tianning is like a fledgling that has not yet hatched from its shell, unaffected by any interference from the outside world.

I don't know how long it took, but Liuguang's voice came from outside the sedan chair: "Princess."

Tian Ning didn't respond and pretended not to hear.

Regardless of whether she responded or not, Liuguang continued, "I wonder if the princess remembers the last time in Kang Mansion, when I asked him if he no longer loved Huarong, his answer was..."

The seemingly unintentional pause was actually to determine Tianning's reaction.

The "last time" in the sentence refers to the night attack on the princess at Kang Mansion. If the relationship between Kang and Liu was not so deeply entangled, Liuguang would have died under Kang Xiaorong's sword. In the end, he promised Kang Xiaorong not to kill Tianning, but it did not mean that he had no other thoughts.

Tian Ning remained silent. It was not that he didn't want to pay attention, but that he was upset and had no mood to talk.

After waiting for a while, Liu Guang, knowing that he would not get an answer, said, "His answer is no answer."

"No answer doesn't mean he has forgotten Huarong..." Tian Ning said with a long sigh. In front of Huarong, she always seemed a little self-abased and self-blaming, because if it weren't for the An family's obstruction, Kang Xiaorong and Huarong would have been married long ago, and it wouldn't be her turn to interfere.

"No." Liuguang denied Tianning's idea, "He didn't answer because he was shaken and had no confidence. I know him, he is an upright person, he would rather say nothing than lie. But today, he spoke his heart out, it seems that he has realized something and has loved thoroughly. Giving him a chance is giving yourself a chance."

"You teased me and said you wanted to marry me, and now you ask me to give him a chance. What do you want to do?" Tian Ning's confused mind was unable to sort out Liuguang's thoughts. There was only one belief in his heart that remained unshakable, and that was to never look back.

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to express my feelings through words." He still had that cynical attitude, and when he said this, it really became a joke and could not be taken seriously.

The reason why I am so quick to talk is because I feel a little depressed.

How could he not care after hearing Xiaoxue tell him that the emperor intended to pass the throne to Tianning Prince Consort Kang Xiaorong?

If Xiaoxue's information is correct, then wouldn't Kang Xiaorong be immediately promoted from a royal consort to emperor?

The nature of fate is truly incredible; God always favors unintentional bystanders and ignores careful people who work hard to create success.

"Forget it..." Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

No matter who becomes emperor, as long as the palace moving plan goes smoothly, he will not be considered a loser.

On the other hand, the news of the palace move has spread throughout the palace.

Long Mohan had not been to the court for many days due to a serious illness, so no official documents were issued. However, he privately summoned the general to discuss reducing military expenses to pay for the move of the palace, and the general agreed, so the move must be imminent.

The news reached the Nangong Palace.

Concubine Gan asked Xiaoxue worriedly, "If the palace relocation is not a false rumor, how should we place Prince Ming?"

Although Prince Ming can turn into a fox, it is not easy to hide him in the luggage and take him away.

Xiaoxue said, "Perhaps moving the palace is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we can successfully get Prince Ming out of the palace, the world is so big, are we still afraid that he will have nowhere to hide?"

"What you mean is... to take Prince Ming out of the palace and abandon him?" Concubine Gan's tone revealed her opposition.

Prince Ming is young, and although he is a demon, he does not have the abilities of a demon. If he is left alone outside the palace, he will surely be in great danger.

"But if you keep him with you at all times, you will be in danger too," Xiaoxue said earnestly.

The identity of the Ming prince, to put it nicely, is that of a prince in distress, and to put it bluntly, he is an escaped prisoner. The crime of harboring a prisoner is not a small one, and Xiaoxue is worried that the innocent Concubine Gan will be implicated.

Concubine Gan did not express her opinion, but thought about Xiaoxue's words in silence.

Outside the room where they were talking, Prince Ming, who had regained his human form, was hiding there motionlessly.

Prince Ming turned into a fox because of alcohol, but he would return to human form after sobering up. After accidentally hearing the conversation just now, he realized how dangerous it was for Concubine Gan if he stayed in the Nan Palace. In order not to cause trouble to his savior, he decided to leave without saying goodbye.

But where can I go?

If he was in human form, he would be caught before he even walked out of the Nan Palace; if he was in fox form, he would have to be paralyzed by alcohol to transform, his mind would be so foggy that he wouldn't even be able to tell the directions, making escape even more hopeless.

As I was thinking, my neck suddenly started to hurt. I subconsciously touched it with my hand and felt two spots of blood.

Prince Ming, who was afraid of blood, screamed in fear.

Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue in the room immediately turned their heads and spotted him.

"Prince Ming, what's wrong?" Xiaoxue, who was quick to react, walked over quickly and saw Prince Ming covering his neck tightly with a pale face. She guessed that he must be hiding something, so she forcefully pried his hands away.

Unexpectedly, teeth marks from snake bites were found on Prince Ming's neck.

"Prince, when were you injured?" Xiaoxue's body was cold. Based on her experience, this scar was caused by a demon snake that was more terrifying than a poisonous snake! When was Prince Ming attacked by a demon?

"Xiaoxue, help the prince stop the bleeding." Concubine Gan stepped forward and examined the wound carefully.

Xiaoxue took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Prince Ming. She frowned and said, "It's useless, Madam. This wound is the mark of the snake demon. Anyone who is left with this mark... is the prey of the snake demon..."

The voice gradually became lower, not wanting to scare Prince Ming.

But Prince Ming's face still turned pale, and he asked tremblingly: "The snake demon...will the snake demon bite me again?"

Xiaoxue shook her head. "As long as you still have this mark on your body, the snake demon will find you even if you run to the ends of the earth."

"There is a snake demon in the palace..." Concubine Gan whispered. She was born with the ability to see demons and monsters, but she had never seen any snake demons since she entered the palace. She had no idea who this snake demon that appeared out of nowhere was and why it attacked Prince Ming.

At this moment, Prince Ming's cry of pain interrupted her thoughts.

"No, there's no way to stop the bleeding." Xiaoxue's handkerchief was already scarlet, with bright drops of blood dripping down to her feet.

Prince Ming's neck felt like it was burning and he roared in pain from the torture.

"Prince!" Concubine Gan, at a loss, hugged his weak body tightly. What kind of monster would torture a poor child who lost his parents like this?

"Let me go...let me go..." Prince Ming struggled hard. The changes in his body seemed familiar, and he knew that he was about to be possessed by Yuan Rong. After being possessed, he would definitely do something to hurt Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue. Before that, he had to let them leave him.

Yuan Rong once possessed Prince Ming and forced Ji Anni to give up Zhao Ji's name by hurting Yizhen. But Yizhen resisted in a hurry and pushed away Prince Ming who was possessed by Yuan Rong and pushed Yuan Rong out of Prince Ming's body. Prince Ming was saved by chance. But if he is possessed again now, he will not be so lucky.

"Xiaoxue, what should we do now?" Concubine Gan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Although she can see demons and monsters, she has no magic to fight against them. Only Xiaoxue, a demon, may be able to defeat the snake demon.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here. You should move away first." Xiaoxue tore away Concubine Gan's hand that was holding Prince Ming, pulled Prince Ming out of Concubine Gan's arms, and pushed him to the corner.

At this time, Prince Ming's eyes had changed color, his mouth opened wide and he let out a terrifying roar, his fangs clearly visible.

"Xiaoxue..." Concubine Gan held Xiaoxue's hand tightly. She wanted to escape but was too worried to do so.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. Leave this to me." Xiaoxue forcefully pushed Concubine Gan out of the door and bolted it as quickly as possible.

No matter how Concubine Gan knocked on the door, she ignored them and focused all her attention on the Prince Ming who was losing his mind and gradually becoming a demon. She took a deep breath and calmly searched her body for a weapon before the Prince Ming completely transformed. However, she did not find any bladed weapon, so she could only pull out a hairpin from her head and hold it tightly in her palm.

"Xiaoxue...Sister..." With this final groan, Prince Ming had been completely swallowed by the snake demon.

The powerful demonic energy suffocated Xiaoxue. She asked tremblingly, "Who are you? Why do you want to hurt the prince?"

Prince Ming, who had been completely possessed by the snake demon, did not answer. He turned his head and looked around to confirm where he was.

All the windows around were closed and the door was blocked by Xiaoxue's body. If you want to go out, you must first get past Xiaoxue.

Yuan Rong, who was possessed by Prince Ming, sneered, "With your little demonic power, do you think you can stop me?"

"You are a Taoist priest?" Xiaoxue was even more amazed. The news of Yuan Rong's escape from prison flashed through her mind. "...You are Yuan Rong?"

Yuan Rong laughed wildly, "You are quite knowledgeable. Since you know my identity, why don't you get out of the way!"

"Why do you possess Prince Ming? He is just a child and is of no use to you! Now the whole palace knows that he is a fox demon. Possessing him will do you no good!" Xiaoxue thought that Yuan Rong wanted to find a body that could move freely, and would let Prince Ming go after knowing that he was wanted.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Rong said, "I lost Zhao Ji, and only he... can help me find Zhao Ji..."

The deep voice was full of demonic aura. Xiaoxue was so nervous that she couldn't breathe just by listening to him. A layer of cold sweat broke out on the palm of her hand holding the hairpin. She knew she had no chance of winning without resisting.

"Zhao Ji...what do you want to do with Zhao Ji?" Try to delay time as much as possible to buy time for Concubine Gan to escape.

But Concubine Gan did not escape at all, and continued to call Xiaoxue from outside through the door.

Yuan Rong didn't have the patience to continue the conversation, so he roared and pounced on Xiaoxue.

If he broke through the door, Concubine Gan would definitely be injured. In order to protect Concubine Gan, Xiaoxue didn't even try to dodge, and watched Yuan Rong open his bloody mouth and pounce on her.

"Ah!" With a scream, the hairpin in her hand had already stabbed towards Yuan Rong!

But this did not stop Yuan Rong. He rushed towards Xiaoxue with a huge impact, slamming the door open.

He pressed on Xiaoxue, and they both fell out the door together, right at Concubine Gan's feet.

Concubine Gan let out a terrifying scream. Xiaoxue was already frightened silly, but she still held the hairpin tightly in her hand.

The sharp tip of the hairpin pierced directly into Yuan Rong's chest.

but……

The person she stabbed was not Yuan Rong, but Prince Ming.

The position is exactly where the heart is.
