Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 168 Let the dogs out

"That's enough. That's enough." Ji Anni didn't want to say anything more. She raised her hand and pointed at the gate. "If that's the case, go back now and don't get in the way here."

Concubine An's team had already entered Concubine Baogui's room, and Concubine Baogui would definitely be at a disadvantage if she had to deal with them alone.

Ji Anni, who was standing outside the corridor, vaguely heard the voice of Concubine An in the house.

Although I don't know what she said exactly, just by listening to her tricky tone, I know that she is looking for trouble with Concubine Baogui.

"Your Majesty, Hua Rong can go back, but she must go back with you. Your Majesty, you can't confront Concubine An head-on, you can't beat her. Besides, they are looking for trouble with Concubine Baogui now, which has nothing to do with you." Hua Rong wanted to pull Ji Anni away.

"Guizhou Concubine's trouble is my trouble." Ji Anni shook off Hua Rong and walked towards Guizhou Concubine's room.

She did not forget what she promised Yun Zhen in the dungeon.

She would never let anyone hurt Empress Bao until Yun Zhen was released safely.

Hua Rong ran a few steps, stopped in front of Ji Anni and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Baogui has been in the palace for ten years. She has seen all kinds of storms. Do you think she really doesn't know how to protect herself? Your Majesty, believe me, she can handle it. You don't need to make trouble here."

Ji Anni looked at the clear red mark on Hua Rong's face and said, "Hua Rong, that slap you just gave me has made me extremely disappointed in you. If you stop me here again, don't blame me for turning against you."

"My queen, you can't go." Hua Rong said firmly.

"Why not?"

"Do you know why Concubine An came here today?"

"I don't know. Do you know?"

"My Lady, you were so busy fighting with Concubine An that you didn't notice that behind Concubine An, there was a maid holding a bowl of black soup?"

"Black soup? What do they want to do?" Ji Anni was stunned, her anger subsided and she became panicked.

"That's probably medicine, an abortion medicine. This time, Concubine An is targeting the little prince in Concubine Baogui's belly."

"What a joke! Why would they do that?!"

"After what happened between Concubine Baogui and the Imperial Preceptor, it's impossible to say who the little prince's biological father is."

"Get out of the way!" Ji Anni had no time to say anything more. She pushed Hua Rong away with her hand and rushed into the room.

The entrance was surrounded by people brought by Concubine An.

Ji Anni finally squeezed in and shouted, "Noble Concubine An, please don't go too far!"

After the voice fell, the room was so quiet that only Ji Anni's breathing could be heard.

Concubine An, Concubine Baogui, and the palace maids and nannies present, all turned their eyes to Ji Anni.

Ji Anni took a breath and looked around.

I saw Concubine Baogui sitting on a brocade couch with a small square table in the middle.

On the table was the peach blossom jade hairpin that she had just returned to Concubine Baogui, and a bowl of black medicine sent by Concubine An.

Ji Anni rushed towards the medicine without saying a word, but before she touched the edge of the bowl, her wrist was cut off in mid-air by Concubine An.

"Sister, if you don't go back, I will find someone to send you back." Concubine An threatened with a sneer.

"Hmph." Ji Anni sneered. No matter how hard they tried, Concubine An was still no match for her.

With a little effort, she shook off Concubine An's hand, grabbed the bowl, and with a "pa la" sound, she spilled all the medicine on the ground.

Ji Anni put the empty bowl back on the table and challenged Concubine An with her eyes.

I thought Concubine An would be so angry that her face would turn blue, but Concubine An smiled and whispered to the nanny behind her, "Fill it up."

Then a maid came up, holding a small celadon pot in her hand.

The small pot was tilted, the medicine poured out, and the empty bowl was filled again.

"Do it again if you have the guts." Concubine An raised her eyebrows at Ji Anni.

Ji Anni was very angry and reached out to grab the medicine pot from the nanny.

Mammy screamed in resistance and wrestled with Ji Anni.

The nanny was obviously no match for Ji Anni. Just as she was about to get the medicine pot, she heard Concubine Baogui shout, "Zhao Ji."

Ji Anni stopped what she was doing immediately and looked back at Baogui Fei in a daze.

She didn't expect Concubine Baogui to speak.

The tears on Concubine Baogui's face were still wet, but her eyes were no longer as fragile as before. She sat upright on the brocade couch, like a plum blossom that stood proudly in the snow, dignified and solemn, with her back straight.

Maybe Ji Anni looked down on Concubine Baogui.

Although Concubine Baogui would cry and show her vulnerable side in front of Yun Zhen and Ji Anni, she would not show weakness easily in front of Concubine An. Just as Hua Rong said, Concubine Baogui had been in the palace for ten years and served two generations of kings. If she really didn't know how to protect herself, she would have become a ghost long ago.

"Empress..." Ji Anni's throat choked with sobs. She was moved and excited when she heard Empress Bao speak.

Concubine An was also startled by what Empress Bao said, and sneered, "Oh, dear sister, I thought you wouldn't open your mouth today. Now that you have opened your mouth, drink this bowl of medicine. I have made it very clear just now, so don't make any more meaningless struggles."

As he said this, he picked up the bowl and handed it to Concubine Baogui.

Concubine Baogui didn't move and didn't answer at all.

Concubine An felt so bored that she put the bowl down again. Although she put the bowl down, her face became darker than before. She asked, "My dear sister, what do you mean by this? I held the bowl with both hands, but you didn't even look at it."

Baogui Fei changed the subject and asked softly, "Who asked you to come?"

"Empress Dowager." Concubine An complacently used the title of Empress Dowager to put pressure on others.

Concubine Baogui was unmoved and asked softly, "What about the Empress Dowager?"

"The Queen Mother is busy dealing with the scandals between you and the Imperial Master." Concubine An sneered.

Concubine Baogui said calmly, "I want to see the Queen Mother."

Concubine An laughed out loud and asked sarcastically, "I have given you enough face by sending you the medicine. Do you still want to see the Queen Mother? ... Do you still want to see the Emperor? Do you still have the face to see the Emperor?"

Facing Concubine An's sarcasm, Concubine Baogui seemed very calm and asked back, "Why are you so embarrassed? I really want to ask him in person if he really wants to kill his own flesh and blood."

"Hmph." Concubine An sneered disdainfully, "Sister, you did something shameful behind the emperor's back, and now everyone in the palace knows about it. Everyone knows whether you are pregnant with a dragon seed or not. At this point, you still have the nerve to say that you are pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood?"

"I know whose child this is better than anyone else. Although I have done something wrong to the Emperor, the child is definitely his flesh and blood. The child is innocent, and he shouldn't use his life to atone for the mistakes his mother made. Sister, go back and tell the Queen Mother that if she wants me to die, please give me three feet of white silk in ten months, and I will say no when the time comes."

"Sister, you misunderstood. The Queen Mother will never let you die. As long as she drinks the medicine obediently, you will still be the Imperial Concubine."

Ji Anni couldn't listen any longer, so she lifted up Concubine An's head and said, "Madam Bao, why are you still talking nonsense to her? Get her out!"

"Zhao Ji!" Guigui Fei shouted, interrupting Ji Anni's excited shouting.

Ji Anni was stunned by the yelling and had no idea what mistake she had made.

Concubine Baogui took a breath, regained her composure, and for the first time, she said to Ji Anni in a reprimanding tone, "Zhao Ji, please step aside. It is not your turn to interrupt Concubine An and I when we are talking."

Although the training was not harsh, it was heartbreaking for Ji Anni.

Concubine An sneered twice with complacency.

Concubine Baogui slowly raised her head, her eyes fell on Concubine An's face for the first time, and she said, "Sister, thank you for coming to deliver the medicine. You can keep the medicine today, but I won't drink it for now. Unless you go and invite the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Imperial Physician, I will drink it if they all tell me to, otherwise - I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

"Sister, don't refuse my toast and then drink the forfeit." Concubine An broke off her smile.

Concubine Baogui glared at her and said, "This is the West Palace, not a place for you to act wildly."

"Sister, do you really think I dare not force you to drink medicine?" Concubine An had gradually become irritated by Concubine Baogui's calm attitude.

Concubine Baogui calmly replied, "When I saw you brought so many people here today, I knew you had this plan in mind."

Concubine An sneered and winked at the palace maid at the door.

The palace maids slowly closed the door.

Not only did they close the door, but they also closed all the windows around it, and used their bodies to block the doors and windows, forming a human wall.

No one from the outside can get in, and no one from the inside can get out.

Concubine Baogui, Ji Anni, Concubine An, and the large group of palace maids and nannies who acted like thugs brought by Concubine An were all locked up and died in this small space.
