Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 263 Nowhere to Escape

Then, the three of them chatted about some happy things together, and soon it was evening.

Princess Tianning also invited Kang Fangting to have dinner with her, as if she had completely forgotten all the sad things.

It was not until Kang Fangting was sent to the door before leaving that she asked hesitantly, "Princess, do you still want to see my brother?"

Princess Tianning has fully recovered her spirits, and Kang Fangting is afraid that she will fall into depression again after seeing Kang Xiaorong. But Kang Fangting has promised the princess to invite Kang Xiaorong, and if she fails to do so, she is afraid that the princess will be angry and say that she is not trustworthy. After thinking about it, she decided to ask more before leaving.

After hearing what Kang Fangting said, Princess Tianning was not sad at all. She said proudly, "I want to see him, of course I want to see him. Tell him to come right away."

As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips, like a chivalrous man about to teach someone a lesson. But this ferocious look did not last long. Soon, Princess Tianning's eyes, which had been wide open like a tigress, shrank and became dim.

She said softly, "Otherwise... I'm afraid I'll regret it tomorrow..."

One could still hear her sadness in her voice; in fact, all those smiles she had before were just forced.

I have finally made up my mind to give up, and I must say it before I change my mind. Otherwise, I am afraid that if I wait one more night, I will become soft-hearted and reluctant to let go...

Maybe to Kang Xiaorong, Tianning's feelings were just a burden; but to Tianning himself, giving up these feelings was like cutting a piece of flesh from his heart, and it was painful and bleeding.

Kang Fangting was still a little hesitant. She wanted to persuade Princess Tianning not to meet Kang Xiaorong several times, but every time she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Princess Tianning's pleading expression.

In the end, she decided to follow Princess Tianning's wishes.

After all, she is just an outsider in this matter, and the decision of the person involved is the most important.

"Then please wait a moment, Princess. I will help you find my brother right away." Kang Fangting promised, stroking the back of Princess Tianning's hand.

"Yeah." Princess Tianning nodded and smiled.

Princess Tianning then called several palace maids to see Kang Fangting off. She also watched Kang Fangting's back go away until she could no longer see her. Suddenly, she felt that if Kang Fangting left, she would have no way out. As long as Kang Xiaorong arrived later, the past relationship that had accompanied her for many years since her youth would come to a bleak end.

"Princess." Seeing Princess Tianning staring blankly ahead, Ji Anni couldn't help but call her softly.

Princess Tianning finally came to her senses, looked up at the sky, and said to herself, "It turns out it's dark..."

They had been talking in the room just now and did not notice that the sky outside was already full of stars.

"Yes." Ji Anni also followed Princess Tianning's words without thinking too much.

"Princess Zhao Congfei..." Princess Tianning still looked at the bright stars above her head and asked as if she was just chatting, "You said...has the apology ceremony at the Demon Suppression Temple already begun?"

When Ji Anni heard this, she realized that there was a hidden meaning behind the words "it's dark" just now. It turned out that Princess Tianning was still thinking about the Demon Temple. I thought that after being heartbroken by Kang Xiaorong, Princess Tianning had already forgotten about the Demon Temple... I didn't expect that I really underestimated Princess Tianning's ability to withstand blows...

Ji Anni herself almost forgot about the apology ceremony. It was only after Princess Tianning reminded her that she suddenly remembered it. She thought that since the Queen Mother did not send anyone to deliver the message, it meant that she had let her go tonight.

This is good, as Hua Rong won't have to worry about the task of drugging Concubine An, nor will she have to worry about her sudden transformation.

I just feel a little sorry for Shui Furong, leaving him alone to apologize to the Fox Demon Queen.

But... I don't know if the Demon Suppression Temple is going smoothly...

Did Yun Zhen break the seal? What on earth is that fox bead?

Ji Annie looked at the starry sky above her head and her heart beat faster and faster. She was really worried about the situation at the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

At this time, Princess Tianning called another young palace maid and ordered, "Come here for a moment."

The maid immediately walked over, bowed her head and asked, "What do you want, Princess?"

Ji Anni thought that calling a palace maid in Tianning Palace was more convenient than calling a taxi. She just waved her hand and someone came over.

Princess Tianning said, "Help me find out about the situation at the Demon Suppression Temple and see if the fox demon has appeared."

The maid responded and left. She was like a person who came when she was called and left when she was dismissed.

After the palace maid left, Ji Anni and Princess Tianning returned to the room to wait for news.

Ji Anni held her chin in her hand and was in a daze, wondering whether the palace maid would come back first, or Kang Xiaorong would come over first...

After waiting and waiting for almost half an hour, the palace maid finally came back.

This couldn't be blamed on the palace maids' slow pace, but on the sheer size of the palace. It would take about this long to walk back and forth from Tianning Palace to the Demon Suppression Temple, even if one walked non-stop.

Seeing the palace maid panting, she must have rushed back desperately to avoid being scolded.

Princess Tianning did not give the maid time to rest and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

The maid panted as she answered, "Princess, I was not able to get close. I only asked around and heard that the seal will be lifted soon."

"How come it's been so long and they haven't even opened the seal?" Princess Tianning was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the people in the Demon Suppression Temple. She wanted to open the seal as soon as possible, take out the fox beads, and summon the soul of the fox demon queen. It would be best if there were some sudden changes in the weather and thunderstorms to match the terrifying atmosphere of the fox demon appearing.

But now the moon is dim outside, the wind is gentle and the clouds are thin. There is no sign of the arrival of monsters, which is a bit disappointing.

"Alright, alright, you go down first."

Princess Tianning waved her hand to dismiss the palace maid, and dragged Ji Anni around the room for a while. Finally, she walked to the window, looked up at the dull night outside, and sighed: "Alas, this princess thought something big would happen tonight... Who knew, it would be so dull..."

"Princess, isn't a simple life best?" Ji Anni has seen a lot of storms recently, so she just wants to live a peaceful life.

"Princess Zhao Congfei, do you think the seal should be lifted now?" Princess Tianning looked at the moon above her head.

"Probably..." Ji Anni replied casually, and her eyes followed Princess Tianning to the moon.

At this moment, the bright light of the moon was faintly tinged with a light red.

The red color was very light, as light as the thin red smoke from bricks ground into fine powder and blown into the wind. But in the blink of an eye, the red smoke suddenly became thicker, as thick as a cloud. The bright red light seemed to almost cover the moon.

Not only the moon, soon the entire night sky was covered by this strange red cloud.

"Princess Zhao Cong, look! Look!" Princess Tianning was stunned for several seconds before she finally reacted and pointed at the red cloud in the sky and shouted excitedly. She finally saw the strange phenomenon she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Ji Anni was not excited at all, she only felt waves of fear and uneasiness.

"Princess...this is not a good thing..." Ji Anni subconsciously took a half step back and covered her heart tightly.

She felt the blood in her body begin to surge, and a strange power hidden in her body was gradually awakening.

"Princess Zhao Congfei, do you think the Fox Demon Queen is about to show up?" Princess Tianning was so excited that she almost jumped up, as if she couldn't wait to rush to the Demon Temple to see what was going on.

"Princess...Princess..." Ji Anni couldn't answer her because at this moment, her body was undergoing strange changes.

She could no longer hear Princess Tianning's voice, and only a strange buzzing sound continued in her ears.

She subconsciously covered her ears, squatted on the ground, and curled up her body tightly.

Princess Tianning then noticed her abnormality and hurriedly shook her shoulders and asked, "Concubine Zhao Cong, what's wrong with you? Is your stomach aching again?"

When passing by the Queen Mother's Palace today, Ji Anni also had this strange reaction. At that time, Yun Zhen explained that it was because Ji Anni's inspiration was too strong and she was affected by the Queen Mother's Palace's magic weapon that she suddenly felt uncomfortable, so Princess Tianning thought that now Ji Anni was squatting on the ground in pain because her inspiration was too strong and she was affected by the evil spirit from the direction of the Demon Temple.

"Princess... leave me!..." Ji Anni covered her ears and yelled.

At this time, not only was there a roar in her ears, but every inch of her skin was tense as if it was about to burst. Her internal organs seemed to be tightly twisted together, and severe pain and discomfort swept through her body.

She had a premonition that she would transform again!

Although she had just yelled at the princess to leave her, she knew that she and Princess Tianning had been connected by Chang and Muzhi, and it was impossible for Princess Tianning to leave her.

What should I do... Should I transform in front of Princess Tianning...

Ji Anni wanted to hide herself under the quilt, but it was too late. When she raised her head and met Princess Tianning's eyes, she heard Princess Tianning's trembling voice: "Concubine Zhao Cong, you...your eyes..."

Princess Tianning's expression now is exactly the same as Shui Furong's expression when she saw her transformation in the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

So Ji Anni also guessed that her eyes had probably turned amber.

I'm afraid that soon, even ears will grow...

What should I do? What if I suddenly attack Princess Tianning?

When they were at the Demon Temple, Shui Furong at least had a peach wood sword in her hand that could be used to exorcise demons, but now Princess Tianning not only had no weapons at all, she was also tightly tied to her, and she couldn't even escape.

"Concubine Zhao Cong...what's wrong with you?" Princess Tianning saw that Ji Anni's face was getting weirder and weirder. She was no longer excited, and her face was filled with fear and worry.
