Chapter 444 Snow Fox and White Rabbit
Chapter 444 Snow Fox and White Rabbit
Liuguang used the tip of his sword to flick the little fox's head, as if he wanted to check whether the little fox was dead or alive.
The little fox, who was lying motionless on the ground, was irritated by the sword. He let out an "ow" and angrily shook his head to push the sword away.
But the sword was too sharp, and the little fox's resistance caused him to be cut on the face, leaving a bloody scar.
"Don't hurt him!" Long Mohan hurriedly grabbed Liuguang's hand and glared at him angrily.
Liuguang didn't say anything. He admitted his mistake by lowering his head, put the sword back into the sheath, squatted down, and picked up Prince Ming.
Prince Ming cried out twice, but soon closed his eyes and stopped struggling.
"How does the emperor plan to deal with this monster?" Liuguang asked.
Long Mohan did not answer. He still had feelings for his son and could not bear to kill Prince Ming.
Liuguang made his own decision: "Then I will throw him out of the palace. This little fox doesn't have any magical powers, so he won't do anything evil."
He knew that Long Mohan couldn't bear to kill her, so he had to resort to this last resort. It just so happened that he had just promised Yanniang not long ago that he would take Ji Anni and Prince Ming out of the palace, so that Yanniang would be willing to leave the palace. As long as all the fox demons left the palace, there would be no more fox troubles in the palace.
Long Mohan didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.
Eunuch Hua saw what Long Mohan was thinking and knew that he agreed in his heart but couldn't say it out loud, so he spoke for him, "Do as the governor says. Take the fox away, the farther the better, so that it can never return to the palace."
Liuguang took the order and left with Prince Ming.
Until this time, Long Mohan still did not say a word. He just turned around and silently watched Liu Guang and Prince Ming leave.
Prince Ming made a faint cry, as if he was asking for help, as if he was crying...
Every word was a great torture to Long Mohan, but he was still unable to utter the three words "wait a moment".
Reason and emotion fought fiercely in his mind, and it was difficult to tell who would win, but reason prevailed in the end.
"Your Majesty." Yizhen whispered in his ear, "Let's end it like this..."
The feelings towards Zhao Ji and the prince Ming, let them end here. Humans and demons have different paths, and there is no way they will end well.
Long Mohan closed his eyes in pain, as if he agreed with Yizhen's words.
Yes, it should be over... When I took Prince Ming away from the unconscious Zhao Ji and told him Zhao Ji's identity, I had decided to put an end to all this. But I neglected... Prince Ming was also a demon, and the only child I loved was actually a nightmare left to him by Zhao Ji.
"If I had known that this would be the outcome... I would have stayed in the Qi Palace..." Long Mohan covered his eyes, tears soaking his palms, his heart full of grief almost breaking him down. If I had known that this would be the outcome after returning to the palace, I would have known nothing and foolishly been deceived by her... I would have lived a peaceful life with my fox demon wife and children.
Why bother to be sober? Why bother to be a wise person?
Living in an unexposed scam all your life is a kind of happiness.
But the mistake was that the deception was exposed, and the original ugly and unbelievable face was revealed when I was completely unprepared. Memory is no longer reliable, like a dangerous building that will collapse at the slightest push; feelings are no longer important, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Maybe it was just a witchcraft, or maybe I had already become her prey since the first time I saw her.
"Your Majesty." Yizhen hugged him tightly, hoping that her embrace could provide some comfort to this man who was about to collapse.
"Maybe I will regret it tomorrow... I don't know what to do. If I regret it, I will never be able to find them again... I don't know what to do..." The cry of Prince Ming is still echoing in my ears, so desolate and helpless.
"A short pain is worse than a long one. Only by ending this fox demon's tricks as soon as possible can the emperor start afresh soon." Yizhen comforted softly, and every word was like warm water, flowing into Long Mohan's heart that was frozen by grief.
"Fortunately, I still have you..." Long Mohan breathed a long sigh of relief.
When you lose everything, there is still hope by your side, someone who truly loves you and encourages you.
"Yizhen has always hoped that she could do something for the emperor." She said with a relieved smile. She could feel that Long Mohan was gradually treating her as a support.
Liuguang carried the little fox and walked out of the palace.
The little fox was heartbroken and lay motionless in Liuguang's arms.
Liuguang saw that he was dying and didn't pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, when they walked to a more secluded place, the little fox suddenly jumped up and bit Liuguang's shoulder. Liuguang screamed in pain and subconsciously covered the wound that was oozing blood.
The little fox took the opportunity to jump down and ran towards the grove beside the road.
Liuguang was alone, without any help, so he had to push aside the dense branches himself to catch up.
The little fox didn't know where he got the strength from, but he ran faster than the rabbit, darting left and right, leaving Liuguang further and further behind.
"Damn it." Liuguang cursed in a low voice, drew out his sword and swung it wildly, cutting off the branches and leaves that blocked his way. The little fox was small and quick, and if it weren't for its snow-white body, which made it very easy to identify in the dark grass, it would have shaken Liuguang off long ago.
At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from behind Liu Guang: "Commander-in-Chief."
How could someone call me in the woods? Liuguang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around, but he didn't see anyone.
Could it be another monster? I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.
When he turned his gaze back to the direction of Prince Ming, he found that the little fox's snow-white figure was no longer in the bushes. He was so angry that he chased forward a few steps and swung his sword wildly in the knee-high grass.
Unexpectedly, this venting behavior brought unexpected benefits.
A ball of white fur suddenly jumped out from the grass and ran away at a very fast speed.
"I must catch you this time!" Liuguang gritted his teeth and hurried to catch up.
After chasing for about a hundred steps, I got closer and closer to the white ball, until I realized that the tail of the white ball was short and small, and it was not a fox at all. After a closer look, I found that the white ball had two long ears - it was not a fox at all, but a rabbit!
Seeing that he had chased the wrong target, Liuguang stopped, threw the sword to the ground in anger, and cursed: "Damn it..."
Now, no one knows where Prince Ming is hiding.
Liuguang sighed and had to give up the pursuit of Prince Ming. He just thought that this little monster was lucky enough to escape this disaster.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and two white fur balls poked their heads out of the bushes, cautiously looking at Liuguang's back as he walked away. After confirming that he would never come back, the two white balls breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Of the two white balls, one is a snow fox and the other is a white rabbit. The snow fox is a young fox, smaller than an average fox; the white rabbit is an adult rabbit, larger than an average rabbit. Because their fur color and body shape are similar, Liuguang made the mistake just now.
"Who... who are you?" Prince Ming asked tremblingly. Monsters can communicate with each other in a special language that humans cannot understand. If it weren't for the white rabbit helping him to divert Liuguang, he would have been captured by Liuguang long ago.
The white rabbit came forward, licked the wound on the little fox's face and said, "Your face is injured, does it hurt?"
This sentence brought back unpleasant memories for Prince Ming. He lowered his head and said, "It doesn't hurt..."
Seeing him being brave, the white rabbit said gently: "You are still a child, if it hurts, just say it hurts, no need to pretend to be brave."
Prince Ming remained silent, immersed in his own world.
Bai Tu suddenly asked, "What are your plans next, Prince?"
Prince Ming was shocked, "How do you know my identity?"
The white rabbit did not answer, but said: "If you have no plans, then come with me, I will take you to a place."
"I... I want to find my mother." Prince Ming did not dare to follow the strange white rabbit rashly. Although she had saved him just now, who was she? Could she be a bad monster related to Yuan Rong? Prince Ming was both uneasy and afraid, lying on the ground and not daring to move.
White Rabbit then asked, "Where is your mother?"
Prince Ming hesitated and refused to speak. What if this white rabbit was related to Yuan Rong? If he said his mother was in Wenhua Courtyard, wouldn't that put her in danger? After thinking it over, Prince Ming decided to muster up his courage, take the risk, and go deep into the enemy territory to check the situation.
Anyway, I am a monster now, so there is no need to be afraid of any monsters.
"What? Are you afraid that I will eat your mother?" The white rabbit rubbed the little fox with its body affectionately.
The little fox still didn't say anything, but his slightly panicked expression revealed his thoughts.
The white rabbit said, "It has always been the fox that eats the rabbit, how can a rabbit eat the fox? We rabbits are all vegetarians, you think too much... I'm kind enough to save you, but you're still on guard against me everywhere, forget it... I'd better go back by myself..."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. The little fox hurriedly shouted, "Wait! I...I'll go with you!"
White Rabbit turned around and smiled, "Yes, that's the way to behave."
"Who are you? Have you lived in the palace for a long time?" The little fox followed the white rabbit closely.
"Not long. I just entered the palace a few days earlier than you." Bai Tu said softly.
"A few days earlier than me..." The little fox's brain started working quickly.
The only ones who entered the palace a few days earlier than me were the newly selected concubines...
Thinking of this, he asked in surprise, "Are you the queen who entered the palace at the same time as my mother?"
Baitu chuckled and said, "Stupid, I'm not a queen, I'm a maid, just call me, um..." After thinking for a while, "...Sister Xiaoxue."
"Sister Xiaoxue." The little fox's eyes sparkled.
Although it was just a few short words, he had completely let down his guard towards the rabbit demon and treated it as a friend.
The name Xiaoxue was very common, and even though it sounded familiar, Prince Ming did not think much about it. When he followed the white rabbit through a hole in the wall and came to a very exquisite palace, he suddenly woke up from a dream and asked, "Is your queen a concubine?"
He had lived in Concubine An's West Palace for a period of time and knew very well that the utensils and facilities in this palace were only available to concubines of the imperial concubine level.
