Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 393 Looking for the target

"What..." Ji Anni couldn't help but make a sound. Yuan Rong's goal was not revenge, but to conquer her.

"Empress, you don't want to see Prince Ming die of poison, do you?" Yuan Rong's sharp laughter made Ji Anni grit her teeth in hatred.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong?" Yizhen couldn't hear Yuan Rong's words, but saw Ji Anni's expression becoming more and more angry, and she was very worried.

"Empress, are you going to find the Imperial Master or not?" Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri ran forward and asked.

Ji Anni's mind was filled with Yuan Rong's voice, and she couldn't hear anyone else's words at all. She was so angry that she had forgotten to speak in her heart, and instead looked up at the sky and roared, "Yuan Rong, you are so despicable!"

"Yuan Rong?" The other three looked at each other, not understanding why Ji Anni suddenly called out this name.

"Mother..." Prince Ming gasped in pain in Ji Annie's arms, the blood color of his lips gradually faded.

Seeing the haggard appearance of Prince Ming, Ji Anni felt distressed and hugged him tighter.

"Your Highness, you don't have much time to think about this." Yuan Rong threatened confidently, "If there is no antidote, the prince will die within half an hour..."

"No, shut up, I promise you, I promise you anything!" Ji Anni yelled before Yuan Rong could finish his words.

"Xiao Zhao, what did you agree to? Where is Yuan Rong?" Yizhen hugged Ji Anni's arm tightly, her eyes full of anxiety. Although she couldn't hear Yuan Rong's voice, she guessed from Ji Anni's words that she must have agreed to something Yuan Rong asked for.

"It's okay..." Ji Anni patted Yizhen's arm calmly, looked at the empty sky and said, "Yuanrong, I can promise you anything, but you must help Ming'er detoxify first. If Ming'er can't recover, I will never forgive you."

"Haha!" A burst of wild laughter created a strong wind, and Ji Anni's clothes and hair were blown all over the sky.

"Evil spirit, if you have the guts, show your true form. How can you be a hero if you hide your head and show your tail!" Yizhen felt the terrible evil spirit brought by Yuan Rong from the strong wind. She changed her usual gentle and virtuous image and shouted fiercely at the sky.

Seeing Yizhen show her power for the first time, Ji Anni, Zhuang Xiaomeng and Chang Sun Mingri all looked at her in disbelief.

Yizhen ignored the gazes around her, looked up high, and continued to search for Yuan Rong's trace in the sky.

"Yizhen, stop looking, he's not here..." Ji Anni smiled gently, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Princess Zhao Congfei, have you thought about it?" Yuan Rong asked again impatiently.

Ji Anni closed her eyes and answered in her heart: "As long as you cure Prince Ming, I will tell you his name."

In fact, Ji Anni didn't know what to tell Yuan Rong. If Zhao Ji's name was just Zhao Ji, Yuan Rong would know it too. Why would he need to ask her? The only explanation was that Zhao Ji had another important monster name besides Zhao Ji. If Yuan Rong knew this name, Zhao Ji would be his henchman.

"Okay." Yuan Rong agreed without hesitation without any doubt.

I don’t know what magic he used, but Prince Ming’s complexion began to gradually improve.

Seeing the wound on Prince Ming's throat healing bit by bit, Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri stared with their eyes wide open, afraid of missing a detail. Magic, this is definitely magic! Yuan Rong was using magic to heal Prince Ming in a place where no one could see.

"Ming'er, are you feeling better?" Ji Annie finally let go when she saw that only two faint red marks remained on the bloody wound on Prince Ming's neck.

"Much better, I'm fine now." Prince Ming stood up, grabbed Ji Anni's sleeve, and asked rapidly, "Mother, what happened just now? Who were you talking to?"

Ji Anni did not answer, but gently stroked Prince Ming's head.

At this moment, Yuan Rong's hateful voice came into my mind again.

"Okay, Zhao Congfei, now it's your turn to give your name."

Ji Anni didn't know Zhao Ji's evil name at all, so what could she tell Yuan Rong? Ji Anni, who had been determined to deceive Yuan Rong from the beginning, stood up and said to the air after confirming that Prince Ming was safe, "I want to tell you in person."

"..." Yuan Rong's voice was silent for a while, as if he was thinking.

Ji Anni asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

After a while, Yuan Rong finally replied: "Only you can come."

Ji Anni's mouth curled up slightly, "Of course I'll go alone." She was most afraid of involving Yizhen and the children.

"Xiao Zhao, don't act rashly. This must be a trap." When Yizhen heard that Ji Anni seemed to be going somewhere, she hurriedly grabbed her sleeve to stop her.

Prince Ming also hugged Ji Anni's legs tightly and begged, "Mother, please don't go, don't go."

"It's okay, mother will protect herself." Ji Anni squatted down and gently stroked Prince Ming's cheek. That cute little face was full of anxiety, and Ji Anni felt a little heartbroken.

Ignoring the separation of life and death of others, Yuan Rong said coldly: "Princess Zhao, follow the little snake."

As soon as she finished speaking, a small snake as thin as a wire emerged from the soil under Ji Annie's feet. If she hadn't called it a snake, Ji Annie would have thought it was an elongated earthworm.

"Ah!" Yizhen screamed in fright at the small snake that suddenly appeared.

Zhuang Xiaomeng saw that the little snake was thin and small, so she stepped on it without thinking. She thought she could win with her size advantage, but the little snake was not crushed, but climbed up Zhuang Xiaomeng's calf.

"Be careful!" Ji Annie grabbed the snake's head and pulled the little snake off Zhuang Xiaomeng's leg.

Otherwise, Zhuang Xiaomeng's calf would have been strangled by the snake.

"Oh, that was a close call..." Zhuang Xiaomeng, still in shock, covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. This little snake looked easy to bully, but she didn't expect it to be so ferocious. She was almost strangled to a cripple by it.

"Yuan Rong, don't hurt them. If they lose a hair, you will never know my name." Ji Anni warned Yuan Rong viciously in her heart.

"Don't worry, Concubine Zhao. I would never make things difficult for a few children. As long as they don't provoke me first, I will never hurt them." There was nothing wrong with the content of this sentence, but the cold voice of Yuan Rong made Ji Anni break out in a cold sweat.

"You lead the way, I'll go with you." Ji Anni didn't want to stay here for long, and urged Xiaoshe to take her to see Yuan Rong.

Only by separating from Yizhen and Prince Ming as soon as possible can we ensure their safety. If we stay with them all the time, there is no guarantee that Yuan Rong will not use them to threaten us.

The little snake twisted and crawled along the ground, and soon brought Ji Annie to an unfamiliar small yard.

Although the yard was unfamiliar, it was also in the Wenhua Courtyard and was planted with lush plants. It was not a gloomy or scary place.

It was very quiet in my ears, and the sound of wind blowing through the leaves was very clear.

Ji Anni looked around and didn't see Yuan Rong at all. She couldn't help but growl anxiously, "Where are you? Why don't you show up?"

Yuan Rong said: "My lady, I no longer have a physical body, but only a spirit body. How do you want me to come out to see you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light around him dimmed.

The little snake that led Ji Annie suddenly grew bigger, and was surrounded by a layer of black smoke.

Ji Anni was so scared that she took a step back, frowned and asked, "You are attached to this snake?"

Yuan Rong said: "I am only borrowing this body temporarily. If I am willing, I can also possess someone else... Zhao Congfei, as long as you hand over your name and become my Shikigami, I can also borrow your body."

As he spoke, he let out a shrill laugh.

Ji Anni was covered in cold sweat and secretly made up her mind that she would never let Yuan Rong know Zhao Ji's evil name.

Otherwise, it would be better for Ji Anni to die than to live with this evil Taoist priest.

"Zhao Congfei, you still haven't told me your name, what on earth are you trying to do?" Yuan Rong had long expected that Ji Anni would delay time and change places in order to make a last-ditch struggle. Yuan Rong, who was confident, was not afraid of Ji Anni's struggle at all, and wanted to fight her properly to make her understand the difference in strength between them.

"Yuan Rong, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I don't even know my name and I can't tell you. Also, I don't intend to become your Shikigami. If you want me to become your Shikigami, I would rather die." It was rare for Ji Anni to deal with him again, so she spoke her mind directly.

Yuan Rong laughed after hearing this, "Haha, you are worthy of being the Consort Zhao. I knew you would not compromise obediently."

"Come at me if you want to kill me, don't hurt innocent people." Ji Anni stared at the black snake whose smoke was getting thicker and thicker, subconsciously clenched her fists, and hesitated whether to call Cang Gui to help. Cang Gui is an eagle, and the eagle is the mortal enemy of the snake, so he shouldn't lose.

"Princess Zhao Congfei, how could I bear to kill you? I am so sorry for what I have done to you. However, if you refuse to obey me, don't blame me for using cruel means to tame you." The black snake's eyes lit up, sparkling in the black air, which was very terrifying.

"Mother!" Prince Ming's voice suddenly came from behind.

Ji Anni turned her head suddenly and found that Prince Ming, Yizhen, Zhuang Xiaomeng, and Changsun Mingri were all behind her.

"Why did you follow me? Didn't I tell you to go back?" Ji Anni stamped her feet anxiously. It was all her fault that she was so focused on tracking the black snake that she didn't notice someone was following her.

"Princess Zhao Cong, remember I just told you that I can not only possess the black snake, but also other people..."

The subtext is that he wants to attach himself to someone else. His eyes sweeping around the crowd prove that he is looking for a target.

"Don't mess around. If you make me angry, the consequences will be terrible!" Ji Anni bluffed and warned Yuan Rong.

Yuan Rong's answer was still just a sneer. He bent down and slowly crawled on the lawn.

"Hurry, go away!" Ji Anni waved to the four people behind her, wishing she could push them away.
