Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 258 It’s the right time

"Okay, I'll go apologize to my mother right away." Princess Tianning seemed to regret her impulsiveness. "I will definitely be scolded. And... maybe even Concubine Zhao will not be able to attend the apology ceremony."

"Then I'm the only one left?" Shui Furong pointed at her nose and asked. She didn't want to go to that mysterious room alone to apologize to a bead.

Kang Xiaorong said: "There are also the Imperial Master and Taoist Priest Yuan Rong."

"Oh, that's good." Shui Furong became bolder when she heard that there were two generals escorting her.

"By the way, has Yun Zhen returned?" Ji Anni asked Kang Xiaorong.

Since Kang Xiaorong just said so confidently that Yun Zhen and Taoist Yuan Rong would attend the apology ceremony together, does that mean Yun Zhen has returned to the palace? Ji Anni really didn't want him to hear the news that he was under house arrest in Wenhua Courtyard as soon as he returned to the palace...

Kang Xiaorong said, "The Imperial Master has not returned to the palace yet, but he will definitely be back before the evening. The first thing the Imperial Master will do after returning to the palace is to open the seal of the Demon Suppression Temple."

"In other words, the apology ceremony has been scheduled for tonight?" Shui Furong asked.

Kang Xiaorong nodded. Then he said to Princess Tianning, "Princess, there is no time to lose. Let's go to the Queen Mother's Palace."

"Okay, let's go." Princess Tianning was sure that the Queen Mother would not be really angry and would just scold her a few words at most.

"Wait, do I go too?" Ji Anni asked her question half a beat late. Now she and Princess Tianning have become one, if Princess Tianning wants to go to the Queen Mother's Palace, doesn't she have to go with her?

Princess Tianning tilted her head to look at Ji Anni, and said three words without thinking: "Of course."

Is there any doubt about this?

"But, but I'm under house arrest." Ji Anni used "house arrest" as an excuse, but in fact she just didn't want to see the Queen Mother.

If the Queen Mother glared at her once, she would lose ten years of her life.

Kang Xiaorong said: "It doesn't matter. It's just a matter of circumstances. The Queen Mother won't investigate further."

Since even the Chief of Security Kang Xiaorong said so, Ji Anni had no choice but to accept her fate.

Although she was reluctant to see the Queen Mother, she was still very grateful when she thought that after seeing the Queen Mother, she would not have to attend the apology ceremony and would not be in danger of transforming again.

Princess Tianning's prank actually helped her a lot this time.

Ji Anni, Princess Tianning and Kang Xiaorong left Taoyuan together.

Kang Xiaorong originally wanted to escort them all the way to the Empress Dowager's palace, but after walking just a hundred steps, he saw the two beautiful sisters returning side by side.

Princess Tianning then remembered that she had brought Yuemao with her, so she asked Yuemao, "Have you finished your conversation?"

In fact, it’s easy to guess. If the conversation hadn’t been finished, how could they have come back?

Yuemao nodded, and suddenly found that Princess Tianning and Ji Anni's left and right hands were connected. She was shocked and asked, "Princess, what happened? Where is the princess going now?"

"Oh." Princess Tianning raised her hand that was tied with Ji Anni's and said with an awkward smile, "I originally wanted to stick with Concubine Zhao Cong and go to the Demon Temple with her, but unfortunately I made a wrong calculation. Now I am going to apologize to my mother."

"Princess..." Yue Mao sighed softly, as if she had no idea what to do with this messy princess.

Princess Tianning said considerately, "I have a young general accompanying me to my mother's place. If you want to chat with your sister for a while, that's fine."

Yuemao said, "I'd better stay with the princess."

After suddenly meeting Huarong, Kang Xiaorong, who originally wanted to accompany the princess to the Queen Mother's Palace, changed his mind. After hearing Yuemao's words that seemed to be a special way to help him leave, he also seized the opportunity to say, "Since the princess is accompanied by Yuemao, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

"Why didn't you tell me you had something important to do?" Princess Tianning was unwilling to let Kang Xiaorong go.

At this time, Ji Anni whispered in Princess Tianning's ear: "Princess, you are not going to the Queen Mother's Palace to receive the reward, but to receive training. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by letting the young general follow you?"

When Princess Tianning heard this, she realized that what Ji Anni said made sense.

It would be so embarrassing if Kang Xiaorong saw him being scolded by the Queen Mother and crying.

Thinking of this, Princess Tianning hurriedly said to Kang Xiaorong: "Well, Brother Xiaorong, you go about your business and don't go to the Queen Mother's Palace."

As if she was afraid that Kang Xiaorong would catch up with her, she waved her hand and hurriedly ran away with Ji Anni. Yuemao followed behind them.

"Princess, slow down, slow down." Ji Anni followed Princess Tianning and ran forward, turning back to wink at Kang Xiaorong. Except for the little fool Princess Tianning, who couldn't see that Kang Xiaorong changed his mind temporarily for Hua Rong?

Kang Xiaorong smiled gently at Ji Anni who turned around and winked at him, and there seemed to be some gratitude in his smile.

But Huarong beside him showed no expression and just stood there like a stone statue.

Soon, Princess Tianning, Ji Anni and Yuemao had left Wenhua Courtyard and were on their way to the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Princess Tianning walked while muttering to herself: "That's not right... Why do I always feel a little uneasy?"

"Princess, are you worried about the Queen Mother's punishment?" asked Ji Anni.

"No. I always feel like I've been deceived." Princess Tianning suddenly stopped and looked at Ji Anni gloomily.

Ji Anni laughed dryly: "Princess, are you overthinking?"

"No, I must have been deceived. Brother Xiaorong was clearly planning to accompany me to see the Queen Mother, why did he suddenly say he had something to do and ran away?" Princess Tianning reasoned like a detective, her eyes gradually became shrewd, and she murmured, "And... he suddenly changed after meeting that person..."

"That person" of course refers to Huarong.

Ji Anni was afraid that she would be jealous, so she hurriedly said, "Princess, you think too much."

"No, I just know that he still likes her." Princess Tianning suddenly got angry and raised her voice. She turned back and asked Yuemao, "Yuemao, tell me, does Brother Xiaorong still like your sister?"

How dare Yuemao say anything nonsense? Under Princess Tianning's murderous gaze, she lowered her head uneasily.

"Princess, don't we still have to go to the Queen Mother's Palace?" Ji Anni pulled Princess Tianning, who had stopped, forward.

"No, I want to go back and take a look." Princess Tianning ignored Ji Anni's obstruction, turned around and ran back, heading straight for Wenhua Courtyard.

"Princess! Princess!" Ji Anni tried to pull her back but failed.

Princess Tianning rushed around like a runaway wild horse. If it weren't for Ji Anni's good physical strength, she would have been unable to keep up with her.

Yuemao was left far behind by them, and soon even her shadow could not be seen.

After being dragged back to Wenhua Courtyard by Princess Tianning, Ji Anni was already exhausted and out of breath.

Princess Tianning looked around in Wenhua Courtyard, as if she wanted to find someone to ask if anyone had seen Kang Xiaorong.

But Wenhua Courtyard was very deserted, and she looked around for a long time but couldn't see a single person.

Ji Anni was a little anxious. First, she was worried that Kang Xiaorong and Huarong would be found by Princess Tianning, and second, she was worried that they would be seen by Chang Sunnan and others in Wenhua Courtyard. If they found out that the people who were supposed to be under house arrest were running around in the courtyard, they would probably take advantage of the situation to make trouble.

"Princess..." Ji Anni didn't know how to persuade Princess Tianning. In fact, she felt guilty because she had lied to Princess Tianning in order to create an opportunity for Kang Xiaorong and Huarong.

"I know they are nearby." Princess Tianning pulled Ji Anni and walked forward completely relying on her sixth sense. The expression on her face was like a wife who was about to catch an adulterer.

"Princess, what's the use even if you find it?" Ji Anni felt that Princess Tianning was just asking for trouble.

If you think about it carefully, those two people at least have an ancient engagement, so Princess Tianning is the third party, right?

"I, I... I don't know either..." Princess Tianning twitched her shoulders as she walked, as if she was about to cry.

"Princess, do you think the young general likes you?" Ji Anni asked cautiously, afraid that she would accidentally make Princess Tianning cry.

Princess Tianning paused for a long time before finally saying softly, "I... I don't know..."

Ji Anni could tell that Princess Tianning answered like that because she knew Kang Xiaorong had no interest in her, but she was unwilling to give up hope, so she had to use the three words "I don't know" to convince herself not to give up.

"Princess, let's stop looking for him and go to the Empress Dowager's Palace first?" Ji Anni tried to pull Princess Tianning back.

Princess Tianning struggled and refused to go back, insisting on continuing to search in Wenhua Courtyard.

"Whether he likes me or not, I... I only know... that I like him very much..." Princess Tianning said childishly, with her brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.

Seeing her so sad, Ji Anni didn't dare to say anything more and followed Tian Ning forward silently.

Not every relationship can be exchanged for corresponding rewards. Clinging to it will only make you more and more miserable.

Besides, Princess Tianning was still a child, and in the era when Ji Anni lived, it would definitely be classified as "premature love".

Premature love usually has no good results. It is either strangled in the cradle or laughed off when you grow up.

Why did Princess Tianning have such a tragic early love?

As we walked, we arrived at the end of the road.

Princess Tianning had no choice but to stop with no way to go, and Ji Anni was about to persuade her to go back.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, just to the right of where Ji Annie and Princess Tianning were, between the wall and the house, in the narrow gap about two steps wide, a backlit figure suddenly swayed.

At that moment, Ji Anni and Princess Tianning's hearts tightened at the same time.

They couldn’t explain why, but they all felt that the figure was Kang Xiaorong.

Princess Tianning turned her head and saw two figures hugging each other tightly in the dim light.

It wasn't a hug, but Kang Xiaorong was pressing the shoulders of another person tightly, and that person was Hua Rong.

They seemed to be arguing about something in low voices.

Suddenly, Kang Xiaorong lowered his head and blocked Hua Rong's mouth as she was about to speak.

Time stops at this moment.

The position where Ji Anni and Princess Tianning were located allowed them to witness this extremely shocking scene from the perfect angle.
