Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 441 Think of another way

Prince Ming's hurt expression made Ji Anni feel sorry for him. She originally thought that letting Prince Ming and Long Mohan stay in the palace while she and Yun Zhen left the palace and disappeared from their world was the best outcome. But now seeing Prince Ming's painful and sad expression, she was reluctant to abandon this "son".

"Prince, it is really impossible for Concubine Zhao to stay in the palace. You must make a choice." Zhuang Xiaomeng grabbed Prince Ming's shoulders. "If you want to leave with her, you will never see us again, and you will never see your father again."

"Moreover, Concubine Zhao Cong may have been controlled by a monster. If you meet her, what if she wants to hurt you? Prince, now that things have come to this, you must let go of your feelings for Concubine Zhao Cong. If you really meet her, you must never believe what she says, and you must never cover up her whereabouts." Chang Sun Mingri seized the opportunity to whisper in Prince Ming's ear about the danger of Concubine Zhao Cong.

Although Ji Anni wanted to refute, she couldn't make any sound from her throat. Maybe it would be better to let Prince Ming think that she was a dangerous person and cut off ties with her, so that she would not pester him anymore. She cried a few times in Prince Ming's arms, like sighing, like comforting, and she herself didn't know what her cry meant.

Prince Ming hugged her tightly, shook his head to shake off the slanderous words of Zhangsun Mingri and Zhuang Xiaomeng, and roared firmly: "She will not leave the palace, she will definitely not leave the palace! She promised me!"

Ji Anni felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Looking at the painful expression on Prince Ming's face, it was as if he saw himself pestering Yun Zhen for the same reason.

There were too many ties and too many promises, and she became hesitant before making any decision. Before this, Ji Anni thought that it was natural to put aside Zhao Ji's identity and start over with Yun Zhen. But now seeing the sad expression of Prince Ming, she felt guilty and thought that she was an unforgivable sinner who escaped from the predicament and went out of the palace.

"Forget it, Prince, let's not worry about Zhao Ji for now, change your clothes first." Zhuang Xiaomeng's voice was filled with a sigh. He opened the closet, took out a piece of his own clean clothes and handed it to Prince Ming.

"This is not a solution. If the prince goes back wearing your clothes, the emperor will definitely question him." Chang Sun Mingri was a little worried. Now Prince Ming lived with the emperor, and his every move was under the emperor's eyes. He was only separated from the emperor when he came to Wenhua Academy for classes.

It was getting late, and Eunuch Hua, who was coming to take Prince Ming back to the Emperor, would soon arrive. They had to hurry back to the academy, otherwise Eunuch Hua would not be able to find anyone and would alert the teacher, which would be troublesome.

"It doesn't matter. Let's just say that the prince slipped and fell into the water. The prince is so confused anyway, it's not surprising if he fell into the water." Zhuang Xiaomeng said with a smile.

"The prince falling into the water is no small matter..." Chang Sun Mingri wondered why Zhuang Xiaomeng could be so optimistic. Even if the sky fell at any time, he didn't seem to be afraid.

"But judging from the ending, isn't the prince safe?" Zhuang Xiaomeng said as she snatched the fox from Prince Ming's arms, "But Prince, this fox must stay with us."

"No!" Prince Ming reached out to grab it.

"Does the prince intend to go to see the emperor with the fox in his arms?" Zhuang Xiaomeng turned around and dodged.

"But, but..." Prince Ming stuttered anxiously. He couldn't take the fox to see the emperor, but he was also worried about leaving the fox here.

"Don't worry, Prince. I will take good care of it, hehe." As he said this, he hid Ji Annie behind him and made a defensive posture as if saying "You can despair, but I won't give it to you anyway."

Although Chang Sun Mingri didn't like the fox demon, considering the overall situation, it was better to keep the fox demon by Prince Ming's side and endanger him than to keep the fox demon by his side and endanger him. Since ancient times, loyal ministers and good generals have always emphasized "sacrificing themselves to protect the master". Thinking of this, he said righteously: "Prince, you hand it over to us, we will never fail in our mission."

Prince Ming thought about it and felt that it was unlikely for him to keep the fox with him, so it would be better for him to leave it here.

At this time, Ji Anni saw that her fate was so easily decided, and she screamed nervously. If it weren't for the protection of Prince Ming, Zhuang Xiaomeng would definitely lock herself in the small wooden box again. That kind of place, once you stay there, you don't want to go in again!

Hearing Ji Anni's scream, Prince Ming understood what she meant. He looked up and said to Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri, "I can leave the fox with you, but you must promise me - you are not allowed to abuse her, and you must be as gentle to her as you are to me."

"But, it's a monster..." Chang Sun Mingri was wondering whether he should wait until Prince Ming left and then persuade Zhuang Xiaomeng to hand over the fox monster to his father for disposal. Now seeing that Prince Ming seemed to treasure the fox monster very much, he found it even more strange.

Without waiting for Prince Ming to answer, Zhuang Xiaomeng promised, "Okay, we promise you that we will treat this little fox well."

As he said this, he rubbed his face against Ji Anni's back affectionately.

This sudden tenderness made Ji Anni feel a little overwhelmed. She always felt that Zhuang Xiaomeng had completely treated her as a pet. If she really had to live with him day and night, she didn't know what tricks he would use to torture her.

"Ahhh." Ji Anni objected, but Prince Ming didn't quite understand what she meant and ignored her.

However, Zhuang Xiaomeng seemed to understand what Ji Anni meant, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands to stop her from shouting.

Ji Anni was so angry that she wanted to bite him, but she thought that she shouldn't argue with a child, so she had to hold back her anger.

Prince Ming looked up at the sky. It was already dark. If he didn't hurry back to the academy, Eunuch Hua would find Li Yuan.

In the past, Zhuang Xiaomeng and Changsun Mingri always accompanied Prince Ming to wait for Eunuch Hua to come and take Prince Ming away, but today Zhuang Xiaomeng was soaking wet and didn't want to walk around. He said to Changsun Mingri, "Little Changsun, you take the prince away today. I won't go."

Chang Sun Mingri finally got a chance to be alone with Prince Ming, and he was so happy that he was not even sure how he would object.

Prince Ming was in a hurry to leave, so it didn't matter whether there was anyone to see him off or not, so there was no objection.

Only Ji Anni's heart was pounding, realizing that Zhuang Xiaomeng's move was called "luring the tiger away from the mountain." He must have had ulterior motives by sending away Prince Ming and Grandson Mingri, leaving her alone with him. What if he tortured her?

Thinking of this, Ji Anni started to scream nervously again, but Zhuang Xiaomeng covered her mouth tightly, not giving her a chance to ask for help. Seeing Prince Ming gradually going away accompanied by his eldest grandson Mingri, Ji Anni sobbed desperately.

Only after seeing the figures of Prince Ming and Zhangsun Mingri disappear did Zhuang Xiaomeng close the doors and windows and put Ji Annie on the bed.

Although the doors and windows were closed, it seemed that there was still a chance to escape if one wanted to.

Ji Anni was just thinking about how to use her short limbs to open the bolt when she saw Zhuang Xiaomeng had taken out a rope and tied it neatly around her feet.

"Ahhh!" Ji Anni howled at him angrily. Don't think that just because I've always given in to you, you can be so arrogant!

Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't understand what Ji Anni was saying, but he could sense her anger. He smiled and stroked Ji Anni's hair that stood up in anger, and said softly, "Little fox, don't be angry first. I know you are not an ordinary fox, but a fox demon... No, no, a fox fairy." As if he thought "fairy" sounded better than "demon", Zhuang Xiaomeng deliberately changed his words.

Ji Anni felt a little strange. If the other party wanted to deal with her, there was no need to flatter her.

"Little fox, I know you want to be free. As long as you help me fulfill one wish, I will find a way to let you out of the palace."

Then how will you explain to Prince Ming? Ji Anni condemned him with her eyes.

I knew that Zhuang Xiaomeng was weird. It turns out that she regarded herself as Aladdin's lamp that could fulfill other people's wishes.

"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the ability to make other people's wishes come true." Ji Anni answered him, but what came out was still a series of meaningless howling.

Zhuang Xiaomeng said to herself: "Actually, my request is not difficult. I just want you to teach me some magic."

In other words, you are my disciple? Ji Anni half-closed her eyes and looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng through the small gap between her eyelids. This standard action of a fox made her expression look a little cunning, as if she was planning something bad.

"Alas, instead of studying poetry and songs every day, I would like to learn some magic, like the national teacher..."

From Zhuang Xiaomeng's admiring eyes, Ji Anni could see that he admired Yun Zhen very much.

However, Ji Annie knew nothing about witchcraft and was unable to give any advice to Zhuang Xiaomeng, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

Seeing her shaking her head, Zhuang Xiaomeng thought she despised him, and hurriedly said, "I'm not stupid, I'm easy to teach, Master Rabbit praised me for being smart!"

Master Rabbit? Ji Anni was stunned, realizing that something was not going on.

How could there be a rabbit master in this palace? Could it be that in addition to the fox demon, there is also a rabbit spirit?

If she could speak human language, Ji Anni really wanted to find out the truth, but she had no choice but to make the sounds of a fox.

"Forget it, forget it if you don't want to..." Zhuang Xiaomeng pouted and lay on the bed in disappointment, "I've been talking to you for so long, but you didn't even say a word to me. My sincerity is in vain."

I really want to answer you, but you just don’t understand! Ji Anni was so anxious that she scratched the bed with her claws.

Zhuang Xiaomeng lifted her up into the air by the hair on the back of her neck, stared at her and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. Since you promised Prince Ming to take care of you, I won't bully you. But you must be obedient, or I will lock you in a box."

It seems that he is very aware of how terrible a punishment it would be for Ji Anni to be locked up in a small black box, so he deliberately used it as a threat.

Ji Anni thought: Instead of running around and hiding, it would be better to stay in Wenhua Courtyard and let them hide me well. As for finding Yun Zhen, it seems that I can only think of a way after contacting Cang Gui...
