Chapter 395 Can't Get Rid of
Cang Gui lowered his head and said nothing. This reaction seemed to indicate that Yuan Rong might come back.
"What should I do then... Is it destined that Ming'er will never be able to get rid of Yuan Rong's entanglement?" Ji Anni asked Cang Gui in her heart, looking at Prince Ming in her arms sadly. The faint red marks on Prince Ming's neck were like two cold rays, which made Ji Anni's eyes hurt.
"Prince, are you feeling better?" Yizhen came to the side of Prince Ming.
Prince Ming deliberately ignored her and turned to hide in Ji Annie's arms.
Ji Anni patted Prince Ming's cheek and said, "Ming'er, you can't be so rude. Thank Concubine Su Congfei quickly."
If it weren't for Yizhen, Yuan Rong would still be attached to Prince Ming.
Prince Ming was unwilling to admit defeat to Yizhen, and angrily muttered, "Who knows what she is... She must be a monster, otherwise why would even Yuan Rong be afraid of her..."
"Tomorrow." Ji Anni's voice became stern.
"Anyway, I just don't like her." Prince Ming buried his head deep in Ji Anni's clothes, not letting anyone see his expression. But from the choking sound, it can be heard that Prince Ming seemed to be crying.
Seeing this, Ji Anni could not bear to force him to thank Yizhen anymore, and said to Yizhen apologetically: "I'm sorry, Yizhen, he might have been frightened, so he didn't listen. Thank you just now. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
Yizhen didn't say anything, just shook her head gently, with a faint smile on her lips. The smile seemed a little sad, and she didn't know if it was because of what Prince Ming said just now that made her sad. She looked down at her hand that pushed Yuan Rong away, her eyes full of confusion. Recalling the touch of pushing Yuan Rong away just now, she felt it was very incredible. It was as if some power was surging out of her body uncontrollably, and she didn't use any force at all, but Yuan Rong was bounced away.
"Su Congfei, have you also learned Taoism?" Zhuang Xiaomeng plucked up her courage and came to Yizhen's side.
Yizhen shook her head, "No, never..."
"Okay, don't worry about what happened for now. You guys go back to the school quickly, I'll take Ming'er to see the imperial teacher." Ji Anni pushed Zhuang Xiaomeng and Changsun Mingri forward.
"Xiao Zhao, let me go with you." Yizhen stood up and stood beside Ji Anni.
Ji Anni thanked her for her kindness, but there was a secret between her and Yun Zhen that she couldn't let her know, so she couldn't let her go with her.
"Thank you, Yizhen. I can go by myself. You should go back first. You were frightened just now. You should have a good rest."
Yizhen's pale face had not yet returned to normal, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the terror she had just experienced.
"Okay..." Yizhen said no more and lowered her head silently.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she looked sad, Ji Anni couldn't help but ask.
This question brought out Yizhen's true feelings. She could no longer hide the pain in her heart, and raised her head and asked seriously, "Xiao Zhao, what did I do wrong? Why are you deliberately distancing yourself from me?"
Ji Anni was startled and quickly explained, "I'm not alienating you, Yizhen, don't make random guesses."
"I also hope that I am overthinking it, Xiao Zhao... I can correct any mistakes I made. You are my only friend and I don't want to lose you..." Yizhen gently held Ji Anni's hand.
Ji Anni felt her palms were cold, as if covered with a layer of cold sweat. Only then did she realize how important she was in Yizhen's heart.
"Yizhen, let's find an opportunity for us two sisters to get together." Ji Anni chuckled dryly.
Prince Ming tugged at Ji Anni's sleeve and widened his eyes in dissatisfaction, as if reminding Ji Anni not to get close to Yizhen.
Yizhen's gaze fell on Prince Ming's face, with a hint of disgust in her indifference.
Prince Ming shuddered and subconsciously hid in Ji Annie's arms.
But except for Prince Ming, no one noticed the coldness in Yizhen's eyes.
Yizhen brought Prince Ming to Xianke Pavilion, and Yunzhen treated the scar on Prince Ming's neck.
Ji Anni was afraid of disturbing them, so she retreated to the yard and waited. Time passed slowly, but the door never opened. Ji Anni walked around the yard anxiously, circling around.
The Cang Ghost was flying low above her head, occasionally emitting a few long cries.
Ji Anni said to Cang Gui in annoyance, "Cang Gui, there is nothing for you to do now, go back first."
In the past, Cang Gui would always disappear quickly after completing his mission. But today, Yuan Rong had clearly escaped for a long time, but Cang Gui had been following him. Ji Annie felt a little strange.
Before Cang Gui could answer, the grass in the yard moved and a red fox slowly walked out of the grass.
"Yan..." Yan Niang? !
Ji Anni just shouted out one word, and quickly covered her mouth and swallowed the other word.
Yan Niang glanced at the Cang Gui above her head with contempt and said coldly: "My Lady, don't blame him. He thinks I am an evil demon and is protecting you from me."
Ji Anni realized that Cang Gui had already discovered Yan Niang, and had been guarding her to prevent her from getting close to him. Alas, this stupid eagle could obviously speak, but why did he always remain silent, causing her to misunderstand him?
When Cang Gui saw Yan Niang appear, he let out a long warning cry and fluttered his wings to land on Ji Anni's shoulder. His sharp eyes stared at Yan Niang without blinking, as if warning her not to get close.
Yan Niang said sarcastically, "Princess Zhao Cong, when did you raise such a shikigami? The eagle is a notoriously cruel and unreasonable shikigami."
When Cang Gui heard Yan Niang slandering him, he immediately screamed in anger.
Ji Anni was afraid that he would fight with Yan Niang, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"I saw everything just now." Ignoring the presence of Cang Gui, Yan Niang went straight to the point.
Ji Anni was stunned for two seconds before she realized that the "just now" Yan Niang mentioned must be referring to the time when the prince was possessed by Yuan Rong.
If Yan Niang was present at the time, why did she watch Prince Ming being controlled by Yuan Rong without coming forward to help?
Without waiting for Ji Anni to ask, Yan Niang said, "When I was about to make a move, Yuan Rong had already been bounced away by Su Yizhen."
Recalling the incredible scene at that time, Yan Niang's expression became serious.
"Do you know the reason why Yuan Rong was bounced away?" Ji Anni asked with 80% certainty.
At this time, Cang Gui also quieted down, as if he wanted to hear what Yan Niang had to say.
Yan Niang said: "This is not the first time, the same thing has happened before."
"Before?" Ji Anni tried hard to recall, but there was no clue.
"There is definitely something strange about Yizhen..." Yanniang talked about a past event.
It was when Ji Anni and Shui Furong who had trespassed into the Demon-Suppressing Temple had just been placed under house arrest in Wenhua Courtyard by the Queen Mother. Yanniang had not yet disappeared from the palace and was still the housekeeper aunt from the Concubine Palace. With Yizhen's hint, she discovered the secret of Shui Furong's pillow. In order to ensure that the secret would not be leaked, she wanted to kill Yizhen to silence her. Unexpectedly, when she made her move, not only did she fail to hurt Yizhen, but she was also bounced off by Yizhen. From then on, Yanniang paid special attention to Yizhen, and was sure that Yizhen was hiding a secret.
After hearing this, Ji Anni was silent for a long time, unable to judge whether Yan Niang's words were true or false.
If it was true, what secrets could Yizhen have? If it was false, why would Yanniang lie?
If Ji Anni hadn't just witnessed Yizhen's magical power, she would have thought that Yanniang was deliberately spreading lies to confuse the public and confuse herself. It was because of the incredible scene that Ji Anni just saw that she was even more confused. She muttered to herself: "From Yizhen's expression at that time, she didn't hide anything at all... She was also very confused and didn't know what happened..."
Yan Niang did not deny this, and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps there is a mysterious power protecting her, and no demons or monsters can harm her. She has never realized this power of hers, so she seems particularly confused."
Although she knew that what Yan Niang said made sense, Ji Anni was unwilling to associate Yizhen with witchcraft and Taoism.
"But Yizhen... is just an ordinary girl..." Ji Anni didn't want Yizhen to be like herself, trapped in the entanglement of these monsters and demons, unable to extricate herself.
But at this moment, she suddenly remembered a story Huarong had told her before.
Yizhen weighed less than four pounds when she was born, and she was afraid that she would not survive, but miraculously she survived on a snowy night. An old monk read Yizhen's fortune and said that this girl's life was precious, but he refused to say how precious Yizhen's life was. He named Yizhen "Yizhen", and this name concealed all mysteries. But so far, no one has been able to understand the secret.
Thinking of this, Ji Anni had to admit that Yizhen was indeed not an ordinary person.
Her unusual fate may have been determined since she was born...
The door opened gently. Hearing the sound, Ji Anni hurriedly turned around and saw Yun Zhen's figure appear behind her.
Seeing Yun Zhen appear, Yan Niang turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Ji Anni was already familiar with Yanniang's reaction, so she was not surprised. She walked towards Yunzhen and asked, "Yunzhen, how is Ming'er?" She leaned over to look into the room.
Prince Ming lay motionless on the bed, seemingly asleep.
Yun Zhen sighed worriedly and said, "I have temporarily cast a few protective spells on the prince, but I don't know if they can stop Yuan Rong... After Yuan Rong gave up his body, he seems to be stronger than before..."
No matter how powerful Yuan Rong was in the past, he was just a Taoist priest. But now he has become a Taoist and a demon, and his magic power has increased several times. Even Yun Zhen dare not estimate his magic power.
"If he is really so powerful, why was he pushed away by Yizhen with one palm?" Ji Anni suspected that Yuan Rong was not as scary as Yun Zhen imagined.
Yun Zhen said: "The safest thing to do now is to have Concubine Su guard Prince Ming at all times to prevent any accidents."
"But Ming'er doesn't seem to like Yizhen very much..." Ji Annie was worried that Prince Ming would bully Yizhen.
"Even if I don't like it, there's nothing I can do. After all, Concubine Su Cong has the mysterious power to fight against Yuan Rong."
