Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 303 Destroying corpses and eradicating traces

"No, no." Ji Anni rushed over to stop her, but she was still a little too late. The painting of the beauty had been torn into a big hole by Shui Furong. Not satisfied with just one hole, Shui Furong actually crumpled the painting into a big ball of paper.

"Who told you to rummage through my things!" Shui Furong's face flushed red and she yelled at Ji Anni.

Ji Anni had never seen him get so angry before, and was stunned for a moment. She hesitantly said, "I'm... I'm sorry."

"What's the use of saying sorry? You saw it all. Wow, you saw it all." Shui Furong angrily threw the crumpled painting into the corner, then threw herself on the bed with her head in her hands and acted upset.

"Furong..." Ji Anni knew she was in the wrong, so she hurried over to persuade him.

"Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" Shui Furong rolled on the bed like a child. And while rolling around, she hugged the quilt tightly and buried her face in it.

"Furong, I'm sorry. I promise I won't peek at your things again." Ji Anni raised her right hand, hoping to gain Shui Furong's trust. Alas, if you really don't want me to see something, you should hide it somewhere safe. When I saw him put the scroll on the desk, I thought it was something that everyone could see.

"What's the use of your promise now? You saw everything." Shui Furong still refused to forgive Ji Anni and said angrily.

"Then what should I do?...How can I make you forgive me?" Ji Anni has already realized something. Even if Shui Furong asked her to reflect on her mistakes in front of the wall or to apologize on her back, she would do it as long as Shui Furong could forgive her carelessness.

Shui Furong stopped rolling and lay face down on the bed motionless like a dead body.

"Furong? Furong?" Ji Anni poked his shoulder cautiously, afraid that he would suffocate himself in the quilt.

"Forget it...we don't have much time left to live together anyway." Shui Furong muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Ji Anni didn't hear clearly. Firstly, Shui Furong's voice was very soft, and secondly, Shui Furong buried her face in the quilt when she spoke, so the sound was completely absorbed by the cotton, and Ji Anni couldn't hear anything.

"In short," Shui Furong turned over and sat up, saying solemnly, "I will forgive you for now."

"Really?" Ji Annie's eyes lit up, thinking that Shui Furong was quite easy to talk to.

"If you do it again, I will never let you off easily." Shui Furong emphasized seriously.

"Never do it again, never do it again." Ji Anni raised her right hand again.

"I...I..." Shui Furong wanted to say something, but after seeing Ji Anni's attentive expression, she couldn't say it. The more she couldn't say it, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the redder her face became.

It was the first time that Ji Anni saw Shui Furong looking so funny, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Do you have any sincerity in apologizing?" Shui Furong didn't want to be the object of ridicule, so her shyness just now disappeared, and was replaced by an angry expression, and she yelled at Ji Anni.

"I have, I have." Ji Anni assured her solemnly, and then added, "But Furong, you look so funny right now, as if... as if... as if your secret love for me has been exposed, hehe."

"Who has a crush on you!" Shui Furong was really angry this time. She stretched out her five fingers and grabbed Ji Anni's weirdly smiling face.

"Oh? Oh? Isn't it? Isn't it?" Ji Anni was really addicted. She jumped around Shui Furong's bed like a monkey, as if saying "You can't catch me, you can't catch me".

"Just stop it!" Shui Furong, who was furious, suddenly jumped up and pounced on Ji Anni like a hungry wolf hunting its prey.

Ji Anni was so scared that she quickly turned around to avoid it, but she was still a beat too slow. Somehow her body froze and she was easily hugged tightly by Shui Furong from behind.

Although Ji Anni didn't have eyes on the back of her head, she could imagine that Shui Furong and herself were like the mother and child koalas in Australia. Shui Furong hugged her back tightly, and she couldn't pry it open even with an iron bar.

In a hurry just now, Shui Furong obviously just wanted to stop Ji Anni from jumping around in front of him, but she didn't expect Ji Anni to be so easy to catch. She was easily locked tightly by his open arms. Now Ji Anni was like fish on the chopping board for him to slaughter.

Obviously, I should have taken the opportunity to teach her a lesson, but somehow, hugging Ji Anni's water lotus was like hugging a red-hot iron pillar. My body temperature rose steadily and my whole body was almost scorched. This painful torture was like being burned by a fire. Not only that, even my heart began to beat violently.

These strange physiological reactions made Shui Furong a little dazed. In order to restore herself to normal, she should obviously loosen her arms and let go of Ji Anni, but her body was somewhat out of control, and she was reluctant to let go of the hands that were holding Ji Anni.

This was the first time that Shui Furong had been so close to Ji Anni. The fragrance from her hair filled her face, making Shui Furong a little intoxicated.

"Furong..." Ji Anni seemed to sense something and asked softly, "You...you, do you like boys or girls?"

This question hit Shui Furong hard, and immediately woke her up from her intoxicated state. He pushed Ji Anni away angrily and shouted, "Whether I like a man or a woman, I will never like you."

After being pushed away, Ji Anni finally felt relieved and subconsciously stroked her chest.

It was really strange. When I was with Shui Furong before, I didn't feel that he was a man at all. But just now, when he hugged me, I had a clear understanding of his gender for the first time.

Maybe it was because I always talked to Shui Furong face to face before, and under the influence of her stunning beauty, I subconsciously ignored his gender and could not associate him with a man. Just now, when I had my back to him and could only feel him by his breath, I really realized that no matter how much he looked like a woman, he was still a man in essence.

Seeing Ji Anni was skeptical, Shui Furong emphasized again and again: "I only paint to kill time. Don't think I have any interest in you. I have seen many beauties. Your looks are not particularly good. I am more beautiful than you. Don't think that just because you have charmed the emperor, everyone in the world will be fascinated by you."

Shui Furong started chattering as if she was arguing with Ji Anni.

Ji Anni felt a slight pain in her chest after being hit by him. She didn't say anything, it was just a joke, why did he attack her like he was on fire? It was really unfair.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this, okay? I admit that I was wrong, and I will never touch your things again, okay?" Ji Anni made a pause gesture. If Shui Furong continued to shoot, she would become a hornet's nest.

"Then don't ever mention it again." Shui Furong jumped off the bed, walked to the corner, and picked up the crumpled paper ball again.

Ji Anni stared at Shui Furong's every move, unable to guess what he was trying to do.

Shui Furong lit the candle and threw the paper ball into the lampshade. After a few seconds, the paper ball turned into ashes.

"You don't have to be so ruthless..." Ji Anni muttered softly. After all, the painting was of herself. After seeing her portrait destroyed by Shui Furong, Ji Anni felt like she was slapped in the face. She felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"In short, this matter ends here, and let our memories disappear completely like this cloud of black smoke." Shui Furong said as she puffed up her cheeks and blew hard at the black smoke floating out of the lampshade.

Only after all the black smoke was blown away did he smile with satisfaction.

Ji Anni couldn't laugh and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. But thinking carefully, the painting was painted by Shui Furong, so of course it was Shui Furong who had the final say on how to deal with it. After thinking it over, she finally had to admit that she was wrong to secretly look at his painting without permission.

However, Shui Furong's reaction in this matter was really strange...

In the evening, the eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch that Shui Furong had been waiting for finally arrived.

The leader was still the eunuch Hua, and behind him followed three young eunuchs, who were probably here to help Shui Furong carry the luggage.

Eunuch Lian announced, "The Emperor has decreed that Consort Shui Furong is intelligent and virtuous, and has won my heart. She is also pregnant with a prince, so she is now named Consort Shui Guifei and can move to the West Palace from now on. I am grateful for your grace."

Everything went very smoothly, and Shui Furong happily accepted the imperial edict.

Ji Anni, who was listening to the imperial edict with Shui Furong, was slightly stunned after hearing the three words "West Palace".

The West Palace was the former residence of Concubine Baogui. It has been empty since her death.

Ji Anni had long known that Shui Furong would be made a noble concubine after she became pregnant, and among the four palaces of the noble concubine, only the West Palace was empty. She should have known that Shui Furong would move there, and she should have known that...

Why do I still feel a little surprised and sad when I suddenly heard this news?

It was as if the last bit of memory that Concubine Baogui had left in the palace had been ruthlessly erased...

I feel a kind of indescribable heartache.

Looking at Shui Furong again, she had no worries at all. No matter who lived there, no matter if there were ghosts or monsters lingering there. As long as she could become a concubine, she would dare to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

"Eunuch, what should we do about the Empress Dowager's house arrest order?" Shui Furong did not hear any information about the house arrest order from the imperial edict.

Eunuch Hua made the decision for the Queen Mother, saying, "Your Highness, since the Emperor has made you a noble concubine, the house arrest order has of course been revoked."

This is what Shui Furong wanted to hear, and she couldn't wait to ask again: "Eunuch, when are we going to the West Palace?"

Eunuch Hua said, "It's all up to you, Your Majesty. But the West Palace is still being cleaned, so we probably won't be able to welcome Your Majesty in until tomorrow morning."
