Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 469 Killer

After Baoer's death, Liuguang seemed to be no different from usual on the surface, with almost no sign of sadness.

But only he himself understood that if he continued to endure the grief of losing Baoer and could not find a way to vent...

He will definitely become a madman.

The only way, the only way he could think of.

It means seeing others suffering more than him, especially those who cause him pain, making them experience greater pain than his own.

"Zhao Ji is a scourge. You should have known when you took her in that she would bring you misfortune sooner or later. Killing her is your only choice. Are you willing to watch Xiao Xue suffer this torture worse than death?"

The flowing light bewitched Concubine Gan. She lowered her head and stared quietly at the sleeping Xiaoxue.

Faced with this difficult decision, she didn't know what to do.

No matter if it was Zhao Ji or Xiao Xue, no matter if it was a fox demon or a rabbit demon, no matter how long they had been together...

Their lives are equally important, and I have no right to decide their life or death.

"I'll give you one night. Tomorrow morning, I hope to see you bring Zhao Ji's body to me." Liu Guang took advantage of Concubine Gan's trance and snatched Xiao Xue from her arms. "Leave this rabbit with me until you exchange it for Zhao Ji's body."

"No!" Concubine Gan screamed and rushed over to try to get Xiaoxue back.

But she was no match for Liuguang. Not only did she fail to snatch Xiaoxue back, she was also slapped on the shoulder, and it hurt so much that it almost broke.

"If you don't have any power, don't dream of saving anyone. Not only will you not be able to save anyone in the end, but you will also lose your life in vain. With this lesson, you should be more honest in the future."

"Don't... hurt Xiaoxue..." Concubine Gan pleaded in a weak voice.

She knew that it was impossible for her to get Xiaoxue back from Liuguang, and she only hoped that Liuguang would stop torturing Xiaoxue.

"That depends on what you do." Liuguang had a cruel smile on his face.

After saying this, he picked up Xiaoxue and walked out of the room without looking back.

Concubine Gan rushed forward and chased for a few steps, but ultimately she was unable to catch up with Liuguang.

Her knees became weak and she finally sat on the ground in a trance.

Not only did he fail to save Zhao Ji, but he also caused Xiao Xue to be taken away...

Concubine Gan looked at her empty hands and tears couldn't stop falling.

Not long after, the little leader who had brought Concubine Gan here earlier came in and said that he was ordered by the captain to send her back to the Nangong Palace.

Is the only way left to exchange Zhaoji's life for Xiaoxue?

On the way back to the South Palace, the only thing left in Concubine Gan's mind was the cruel smile that Liuguang had left behind.

People like that have cold blood.

If you disobey him, he will do anything.

Xiaoxue is still in his hands... If he doesn't kill Zhaoji, how can he save Xiaoxue...

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally returned to Nangong Palace.

The little leader said goodbye and left. Concubine Gan silently climbed the stairs, walked around the corridor and went to her room.

Her thoughts were in a mess, like a tangled mess.

For a moment, she really thought of exchanging Zhaoji's life for Xiaoxue.

But she quickly rejected it herself.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never taken anyone's life.

Because I have been under house arrest since I was a child, and the space I have to move around in is only a pitifully small room and a small garden, I have become particularly cherishing of everything and every flower and grass around me.

This is the case even for inanimate objects, let alone Xiaoxue, who can talk to her and care for her.

Her feelings for Xiaoxue are even deeper than for her parents.

Now that Xiaoxue is poisoned, how can I just watch her suffer?

I gently opened the door and wanted to calm down in the room.

Unexpectedly, when the door was opened, a fox was seen squatting in the middle of the room.

Concubine Gan quickly recognized her Ji Anni, and her chest felt as if it had been hit and it hurt badly.

This is the only hope to save Xiaoxue...

The life of this fox demon is the only hope to save Xiaoxue from Liuguang!

"Empress, what's wrong? How is Xiaoxue?" As soon as Ji Anni saw Concubine Gan, she immediately rushed over.

After Concubine Gan left, she felt restless in the room and kept coming to Concubine Gan's door to see if she had returned.

After going back and forth several times, she simply climbed in through the window, squatted in Concubine Gan's room, and waited for her to return.

Now Concubine Gan has finally returned, but her pale face and slightly trembling lips indicate that this journey was not smooth.

"Xiaoxue was kidnapped by the captain..." Concubine Gan stumbled to the chair and finally sat down.

"Stolen?!" Ji Anni screamed and jumped onto Concubine Gan's knees.

"He said I was useless and had no power at all... and yet he wanted to save others..." Concubine Gan sat very upright, staring blankly ahead, tears rolling down her cheeks without warning and dripping onto Ji Anni's head.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. There must be a way to rescue Xiaoxue." Ji Anni was distraught, but she pretended to be calm in order to comfort Concubine Gan.

"There is indeed a way to save Xiaoxue, but... but I... I simply can't do it..."

Concubine Gan covered her face with her hands and cried into her palms.

Ji Anni's throat was choking with sobs and aching. It was all her fault. She blamed herself for causing trouble for them...

Concubine Gan regretted her incompetence, so did I.

If I had a little bit of strength, I wouldn't have to watch the people around me suffer again and again.

Ji Anni bit her lip and murmured in a low voice: "I am obviously a monster, but I don't have any monster power... Even if it's just a little bit, even if I abandon my humanity and completely become a monster... I hope I can have the ability to protect important people in times of crisis..."

Whether it was Yun Zhen or Prince Ming, they were separated and parted again and again because of their own incompetence.

Ji Anni kept saying words of regret and self-blame, and Concubine Gan's hand slowly stroked her back.

At first, it was just a gentle touch, just like comforting, to bring encouragement to Ji Anni.

However, Concubine Gan's caressing gradually slowed down, and the position of the caressing moved from the spine to the neck.

Ji Anni sensed something strange and looked up at Concubine Gan in surprise.

The moment their eyes met, Ji Anni saw murderous intent in Concubine Gan's eyes!

Before she could react, Concubine Gan suddenly grabbed her neck with force.

Ji Anni's body was turned over, and she fell belly up into Concubine Gan's arms.

Concubine Gan's hands, which were around her neck, kept tightening and exerting more force.

Ji Anni was not only speechless, but her breathing was almost cut off. She felt suffocated and her vision went dark.

Concubine Gan's expression became blurred in my vision, and I vaguely felt that her expression was filled with countless sorrow...

The warm liquid kept dripping down, landing on Ji Anni's face and body.

So... So that's how it is...

Ji Anni slowly closed her eyes.

It turns out that the way Concubine Gan just mentioned to save Xiaoxue was to kill herself.

The other party is Liu Guang, the general's subordinate, so it is not surprising that he made such a request.

If... my life could really be exchanged for Xiaoxue...

It might not be a bad thing to hand it over to Concubine Gan.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni gave up struggling and lay quietly in Concubine Gan's arms.

She no longer wanted to see anyone die for her or suffer for her.

Concubine Gan's tears and distorted expression made her feel extremely heartbroken.

Anyway, if Xiaoxue hadn't rescued her, she would have died under the general's sword.

If it is destined, this is the end of me...

Being able to die at the hands of Concubine Gan might be God's mercy to me.

My consciousness gradually became blurred, and my strength was draining away from my body bit by bit.

The feeling of death was not unfamiliar to her. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity and relief.

If Concubine Gan had not strangled her to death, she would have wanted to say the last words to Concubine Gan: Thank you for saving Ming'er, thank you for saving me, although I can only bring you disaster, I still cherish your friendship with me.

I silently repeated this sentence three times in my mind, wondering if it could be transmitted to Concubine Gan's mind through thought.

Ji Anni was ready to die, and waited quietly for the god of death to take her away.

But, at the last moment...

Was it an illusion? The hands that were holding my throat seemed to be gradually loosening their grip. I could finally catch my breath, and my chaotic brain gradually became clear. I opened my eyes weakly, and in my vision that was sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking, Concubine Gan's expression was sometimes close and sometimes far away.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Concubine Gan let go of Ji Anni, covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

Ji Anni slid from her knees to the ground and fell heavily before finally regaining consciousness.

"Your Majesty..." Looking at Concubine Gan who was in more pain than herself, Ji Anni didn't hate her at all for wanting to kill her.

It would be easier for her to die, but she who killed herself suffered a million times more torture.

"My queen, does Liuguang want you to kill me before he returns Xiaoxue to you?" asked Ji Anni.

Ji Anni, who had just returned from the brink of death, didn't even believe that she could be so calm.

"If that's the case, just hand me over to him... and let him kill me. I won't blame you..."

Seeing Concubine Gan's painful expression, you can tell how difficult it was for her to choose between Ji Anni and Xiaoxue; how difficult it was for her to dare to grab Ji Anni's neck and kill her...

But these efforts were in vain.

The half-failed attempt only proved once again that she did not have the courage to kill Ji Anni.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I shouldn't have killed you..." Concubine Gan hugged Ji Anni tightly in her arms, just like she hugged Xiaoxue.

"I know... I know you were in more pain than I was just now. I have decided that you will hand me over to Liu Guang tomorrow."
