Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 213 A near miss

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Ji Anni turned around and saw Yizhen rushing in. When Huarong went to ask the imperial physician just now, she left in such a hurry that she forgot to close the door. After hearing Ji Anni's scream next door, Yizhen rushed over as fast as she could.

After discovering that Prince Ming had turned into a snow fox, Ji Anni's body was as hard as ice, and it finally melted after she saw Yizhen. The first thing she did after regaining consciousness was to pull up the quilt and cover Prince Ming, who had turned into a fox, tightly.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong?" Yizhen rushed to the bedside when she saw Ji Anni looked unhappy.

"No, nothing... nothing..." Ji Anni's face was pale and bloodless.

She put her hands behind her back and held the corner of the quilt tightly, not wanting Yizhen to discover the snow fox underneath.

In these few short seconds, she had doubted whether she was dazzled at least ten times, but her hands, which were tightly grasping the quilt, clearly touched the soft creature under the quilt.

It's not a dream, it's not a dream... But if it's not a dream, then what is it? The Ming prince turned into a fox!

"Xiao Zhao?" Yizhen saw Ji Anni holding the quilt tightly, so she leaned over to look at the bed.

Before she could see clearly what was on the bed, Ji Anni hurriedly pushed her away.

"Yizhen, please go back. I'm fine... I'm really fine..." Ji Anni took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

Yizhen didn't believe her at all. She frowned anxiously and asked, "Xiao Zhao, don't lie to me. If nothing happened, why would you scream so miserably? What are you hiding in the bed? ... By the way, where is Prince Ming?"

Only then did Yizhen realize that she had not seen Prince Ming.

Ji Anni was about to explain that Prince Ming and Hua Rong had gone out together, but Yizhen suddenly pushed her away and reached out to touch the quilt.

When he touched her, his face changed drastically. Yizhen's movements froze for a second, and she screamed, "Xiao Zhao, how could you do this?"

Oh no... Ji Anni felt cold all over and didn't dare to look back at the bed.

She guessed that Yizhen had discovered the snow fox on the bed when she touched it just now, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Yizhen's words just now were not right. If she had discovered the snow fox, she should have screamed, so why did Yizhen blame herself instead?

"Xiao Zhao, why did you wrap Prince Ming in the quilt?" Yizhen's voice became more serious. She pushed Ji Anni away with a hand and rescued Prince Ming from under the quilt.

Ji Anni looked back blankly, only to see Prince Ming sleeping in bed in good condition, with no fox at all. "Good condition" is only compared to a fox, if compared to a human, Prince Ming's face was red, and he had difficulty breathing, which was not good at all.

Yizhen thought that Prince Ming was suffocated, and hurriedly fanned him to ventilate. While fanning him, she also blamed Ji Anni: "Xiao Zhao, why did you suffocate Prince Ming under the quilt? Aren't you afraid that he will suffocate to death?"

If you meet someone who doesn't know that Ji Anni is Prince Ming's biological mother, they will definitely think that she wants to murder Prince Ming.

Ji Anni didn't know what was going on and her mind was blank.

Was I seeing things? How could the Ming prince turn into a fox? It was impossible.

Ji Anni tried hard to convince herself that everything she had just seen was an illusion.

She didn't sleep a wink last night on Long Mohan's bed. It must be because she was too tired that she had hallucinations.

Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this...

Ji Anni took deep breaths and calmed herself down.

At this time, Yizhen also felt that Prince Ming's body temperature was a little abnormal, and anxiously asked Ji Anni: "Xiao Zhao, what happened to Prince Ming? Why is his whole body hot?"

"Yizhen, don't worry. Huarong has already gone to ask the imperial physician." Ji Anni comforted Yizhen.

Yizhen sniffed, and her tears, as big as soybeans, fell on the bed sheet with a "pat". She sobbed and blamed herself, "Xiao Zhao, it's all my fault... it's all my fault. I shouldn't have given him the granulated sugar... If I had known that Prince Ming couldn't drink alcohol, I would never have given it to him... What should I do now? Wuwu... What should I do now..."

Ji Anni had just recovered from the shock of Prince Ming turning into a snow fox, and in the blink of an eye, she had to comfort Yizhen who was crying like a tearful person, and she was busy and exhausted.

At this time, Prince Ming on the bed slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ji Anni vaguely, and called out intermittently: "Mother... Mother..." While calling out, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab Ji Anni.

Seeing this, Ji Anni hurriedly sat down beside the bed, tightly held the hand that Prince Ming extended, and asked, "Ming'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Don't be afraid, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Prince Ming shook his head gently. His red cheeks gradually faded and his rapid breathing gradually became smoother.

Seeing that Prince Ming was slowly recovering, Ji Anni and Yizhen both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, I...I'm scared..." Prince Ming's eyes were sparkling with tears.

"Silly boy, if you are sick, just take medicine and you will be fine. There is nothing to be afraid of." Ji Anni gently stroked his forehead. Seeing Prince Ming in such a pitiful state, Ji Anni felt distressed.

Prince Ming did not say another word, but held Ji Anni's hand tightly, as if that was the source of his strength.

"Tomorrow..." Ji Anni gritted her teeth and couldn't say anything.

Although he kept telling himself that the snow fox he saw just now was just an illusion, how could he convince himself with the word "illusion" when it was such a real memory and such a deep picture? And the reaction of Prince Ming was definitely not that of a sick child. Maybe Prince Ming knew that he had turned into a fox, so he kept saying "scared, scared..."

"Ming'er..." Ji Anni held Prince Ming's hand tighter, and finally knew what to say, "Ming'er, don't be afraid, mother will always be by your side... No matter what happens, mother will always be by your side..."

What a familiar sentence. Yun Zhen also said the same thing to Ji Anni.

It was not until today that Ji Anni discovered the similarities between herself and Prince Ming. They both came from a strange country, and because of their special identities, they were imprisoned in a completely strange palace, facing completely strange faces and a completely strange environment.

Lonely, helpless, fearful, panicked...

Prince Ming must have experienced even more deeply everything that Ji Anni had experienced.

I still remember that day when Yun Zhen told Ji Anni that this was her new home and he was her family.

It was then that Ji Anni finally found psychological sustenance for herself.

So she knew that Prince Ming must also need the same words to find support.

Tomorrow...

Ji Anni looked at the cute and pitiful little ghost on the bed with distress, and swore silently: Even if Yun Zhen didn't do it, I must do it. Because I already know the kind of disappointment and pain, so I will never let you repeat the same sadness.

"Mother..." Prince Ming gently closed his eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

After feeling Ji Anni's determination to protect him, he finally relaxed.

After a while, Hua Rong finally called the imperial physician, but by then Prince Ming's temperature had already dropped.

The imperial physician conducted a thorough examination on Prince Ming, but after checking again and again, he could not find any problems.

Hua Rong didn't believe it and insisted that the imperial physician investigate the matter. The imperial physician was in a dilemma and sweated profusely. In the end, Ji Anni was kind enough to let the imperial physician go back.

Next, Yizhen and Huarong stayed with Ji Anni and stayed by Prince Ming's bed for a long time. They left only after they were sure that Prince Ming was fine. But it was already dark and it was time to go to bed. The food that Huarong had brought at noon was still on the table, and no one touched it. Ji Anni was worried that Prince Ming would be hungry in the middle of the night, so she asked Huarong to leave the food in the room.

"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?" Prince Ming was willing to speak only when Yizhen and Huarong had left and Ji Anni was the only one left.

Ji Anni nodded slightly, stood up and straightened the quilt for Prince Ming.

At this moment, a few long white hairs on the sheets pierced her eyes.

Ji Anni felt a pain in her eyes, and the fear she felt when she saw the snow fox resurfaced.
