Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 398 Asking for help

They even knew that Yan Niang was a fox demon. Ji Anni felt suffocated and blurted out one word: "Who?"

Long Mohan smiled and said, "Of course I can't tell you."

As expected, Ji Anni stopped asking questions and turned to another question, "Even if Yan Niang is a fox demon, how could she listen to me... Your Majesty, if you know Yan Niang's character, you will know that she is not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others."

"Strange, why is what you said different from what others told me?" Long Mohan looked at Ji Anni with a smile.

Ji Anni felt cold all over, still remembering that when the two of them were in trouble outside the palace, they were brothers in distress and overcame the difficulties together. At that time, Ji Anni still felt that Long Mohan was very reliable, and felt that his feelings for Zhao Ji were very touching, and sympathized with his rough fate.

But now, he changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, which made Ji Anni wonder if he was being controlled by some monster.

"Your Majesty, whose lies did you believe?" Ji Anni concluded that someone whispered something in Long Mohan's ear. However, very few people knew Yan Niang's identity, and it was impossible for someone to leak it out. How did Long Mohan know it?

Long Mohan laughed coldly and lowered his voice even more. "I didn't believe what that person said at first, but since Kang Xiaorong found Princess Tianning, I had to believe it. How could there be two Tiannings in the world? One is real, and the other must be fake. I have long felt that the current Tianning is strange, but I didn't expect that she was actually the fox demon Yan Niang."

"Your Majesty, since you know that Yan Niang is a fox demon, and you still want me to make her confess, aren't you afraid that she will get angry and swallow me up? Aren't you afraid that Zhao Ji will get hurt?" Using Zhao Ji as a shield was Ji Anni's last resort.

Long Mohan said indifferently: "Yanniang will not hurt you. Not only will she not hurt you, she will also listen to you."

"Is this what the mysterious man told you?" Ji Anni saw from Long Mohan's indifferent expression that she had no way out. Long Mohan didn't even come to discuss with her, but ordered her to persuade Yan Niang to plead guilty.

"Yes, that mysterious man knows a lot of things." The smile on Long Mohan's lips became more cunning.

"Then...what else did the mysterious man say?" Ji Anni's heart beat faster and faster. She just hoped that the mysterious man didn't say that Zhao Ji was also a fox demon.

"No more." Long Mohan shook his head, not sure whether he really had nothing or was just unwilling to say it.

"Why do you trust that mysterious man so much? Aren't you afraid of being used?" Ji Anni couldn't help but ask.

She had no clue about the identity of the mysterious man. Who knew about her relationship with Yan Niang?

Long Mohan said, "I didn't dare to believe it completely at first, but after seeing your reaction, I knew that the mysterious man was telling the truth, without any deception. Besides, the mysterious man wanted something from me, so he didn't dare to do anything before he achieved his goal. But you are different, Ji Anni, you always use Zhao Ji's identity to threaten me to be at your mercy. Don't forget, you still have the handle in my hand."

Ji Anni admitted that she liked to use Zhao Ji to force Long Mohan to agree to her small requests, but she never intended to manipulate Long Mohan. Hearing Long Mohan describe herself as a bad person who was unforgivable, Ji Anni was very angry for herself.

"Ji Anni, you don't want your identity to be exposed, right? I can order your arrest for deceiving the emperor at any time. Not only you, but also the imperial teacher who knows your identity should be convicted." Long Mohan knew the position of Yun Zhen in Ji Anni's heart.

When she heard that Yun Zhen would be implicated, Ji Anni's composure suddenly collapsed and she cursed, "You are so despicable!"

"Ji Anni, as long as you make Yan Niang confess her guilt, I will not punish you. Besides, if we don't expose Yan Niang's identity, how can we let the real Tian Ning return to the palace? You don't want to see Tian Ning wandering outside, do you?" Long Mohan used both soft and hard tactics to conquer Ji Anni step by step.

"Long Mohan, I misjudged you." Ji Anni thought that Long Mohan was a tragic emperor who finally succeeded to the throne but still had to look at other people's faces. But now she realized that Long Mohan was just a selfish person who only considered himself. At first, he thought that Concubine Hui died in vain, and he wanted to find out the truth from a righteous perspective. But now, he has already stepped into the evil side, using all means to cover up the truth and frame others.

"I thought you were a good person so I told you my identity, but you used it to threaten me!" Ji Annie clenched her fists.

"Oh? You think I'm a good person? I thought you didn't want me to treat you like this..." After saying that, he put his arms around Ji Anni's waist and leaned over to kiss her lips.

"Disgusting!" Ji Anni slapped him.

Long Mohan was well prepared. Not only was he not injured, he also grabbed Ji Annie's waving hand.

"You told me your true identity just to protect yourself. What you said about trust... is really ridiculous." Long Mohan let go of Ji Anni and stared at her angry face with interest.

"Okay, I admit that I was trying to protect myself, I admit that I made a mistake, I admit that I'm an idiot, I admit that I believed you, I admit that I thought you were a good person, I admit that I sympathized with you and felt sorry for you, anyway... from today on, I know you clearly and I won't have any illusions about you anymore!" Ji Annie yelled out so many words in one breath, a little out of breath.

Seeing the disappointment in Ji Anni's eyes, Long Mohan felt a little heartbroken. He made excuses for himself and said, "The Queen Mother has committed many sins and should be punished."

"Although the Queen Mother is not a good person, you are not much better than her. You are just dogs biting each other, and both of you are full of fur." ​​Ji Anni was angry and spoke without thinking, scolding Long Mohan like a dog.

Long Mohan suppressed his anger and warned: "Ji Anni, I can forgive you this time, but if you dare to insult me ​​again..."

"Just kill my entire clan, and even better, kill Prince Ming along with you!" After leaving these words behind, Ji Anni ran away angrily. If he continued talking, she would definitely rush up and punch him. By then, he would have even more reason to blame her for heralding the throne.

Long Mohan wanted to chase her but couldn't take a step. In the end, he could only watch Ji Anni's back as she ran away and sighed deeply.

If she hadn't used this attitude, how could Ji Anni have persuaded Yan Niang to plead guilty?

Ji Anni's weapon is Long Mohan's old feelings for Zhao Ji, and she uses this weapon to win every battle. But what about Long Mohan's weapon... Apart from the secret of Ji Anni's identity, Long Mohan really can't think of anything else to threaten her to obey.

In order to preserve Concubine Hui's reputation, Long Mohan had to force Ji Anni to submit.

Long Mohan tried to comfort himself. Ji Anni was an outsider, and he didn't need to care whether she loved him or hated him. But staring at Ji Anni's back as she ran away, he didn't understand what the dullness in his chest meant...

In a corner that Long Mohan didn't notice, a clump of grass moved slightly.

There is a little white rabbit hiding in the grass.

The little rabbit had been watching Long Mohan's every move since just now, and listened to their conversation word for word.

After Ji Anni left, the little white rabbit also left.

It stuck to the corner of the wall and sprinted at an extremely fast speed, without stopping along the way, and went straight to the South Palace where Concubine Gan was.

In the Nangong Palace, Concubine Gan was enjoying the cool in the yard. From time to time, she turned her head to look at a small hole in the corner of the wall, as if she was waiting for something.

Suddenly, the figure of the white rabbit squeezed in from the hole in the wall.

Concubine Gan immediately stood up and walked towards the white rabbit.

When the white rabbit saw Concubine Gan, it raised its head, and the two looked at each other, as if they were talking. Then, the white rabbit lay on the ground, motionless, and suddenly a ball of faint white light emanated from the white rabbit.

The white rabbit's body continued to grow bigger and bigger in the ball of light, and finally turned into a human woman!

Concubine Gan came forward to help her up and asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"

The woman called Xiaoxue took a breath and replied, "Don't worry, madam, the emperor doesn't doubt you. Not only does he not doubt you, he believes in you even more."

"Really?" Concubine Gan touched her chest and let out a long sigh.

Xiaoxue is the personal maid that Concubine Gan brought from her hometown, but this maid is not a human being, but a white rabbit spirit.

Concubine Gan has a cold personality and doesn't like to make friends, but she is not alone because she has many monster friends, Xiaoxue is one of them. Xiaoxue and Concubine Gan have been inseparable friends since childhood. Although they are master and servant on the surface, they are as close as sisters.

Since childhood, Concubine Gan has been able to see all kinds of monsters and is born with the ability of yin and yang eyes.

This special ability made her family think she was an anomaly. Her parents were ashamed of her and forbade her to go out and meet people, or to tell others what she had seen.

Her eyes were blindfolded and she was not allowed to take off the black cloth whether eating or sleeping.

Her childhood was spent in complete darkness.

Later, as she grew up, she understood what she could say and what she could not say.

Only then did her parents agree to let her take off the black cloth, but they still restricted her from going out.

Concubine Gan's aloof and cold personality was not innate, but was forced upon her by her environment.

Anyone who grows up in an environment where one cannot speak or see would become indifferent and taciturn.

But fortunately, she has Xiaoxue as her friend, and they can communicate through their hearts. Even without opening their mouths, they can still speak to each other.

On the first day Ji Anni entered the palace, at the dinner party held by the Queen Mother, Concubine Gan saw at a glance that she was a fox demon, but Concubine Gan did not make it public. Concubine Gan, who had been friends with demons since childhood, was not afraid of Ji Anni, the fox demon, and was not worried that she would harm the world.

Concubine Gan prefers dealing with monsters to humans. Because of this, Concubine Gan treats Ji Anni more kindly. She came to Wenhuayuan to visit Ji Anni on purpose, saying that Xiaoxue was very interested in Ji Anni, and this was the reason.

Concubine Gan could have continued to hide the secret of the Yin-Yang Eyes, but... she needed a favor from Long Mohan.
