Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 407 Space of Love

"What do you mean by possessed or not, Yuemao, why don't you send the young general back quickly?"

Hearing the word "possessed", Yan Niang gradually understood something and wondered if Kang Xiaorong knew her identity?

"Princess, have you forgotten our engagement? I am already your consort. It's not strange for me to sleep in the same bed with you, let alone enter your room." Kang Xiaorong had no intention of backing down.

"Young General, you are slandering the reputation of this princess." Yan Niang deliberately used the three words "Young General" to distance herself from him.

"Princess, if you don't open the door, don't blame me for breaking in." Kang Xiaorong was not joking. As he spoke, he really started to bang on the door.

"How dare you! The Princess's Mansion is not a place for you to act wildly!"

Yan Niang didn't want Kang Xiaorong's banging on the door to alarm others, so she jumped out of bed quickly.

"Do I have to personally come and chase you away?"

Yan Niang opened the door angrily, opened her eyes wide, and confronted Kang Xiaorong.

Kang Xiaorong sneered: "The princess has finally shown the favor of meeting with me."

Yan Niang asked sarcastically, "One moment you call yourself the prince consort, and the next moment you call yourself a subordinate. Do you know your own identity? Do you know how to talk to this princess?"

Following this question would only lead to a quarrel, so Kang Xiaorong, who had not forgotten the main business, asked, "Princess, can I talk to you alone?"

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone. Although they had been engaged, it was not polite. Yuemao wanted to dissuade them, but Yanniang answered first, "Okay, I also want to hear what big thing made the young general so anxious." After saying that, she winked at Yuemao and said, "Yuemao, you should leave first. Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."

Yuemao was a little worried, but under the threatening gaze of Yanniang, she dared not speak out. She nodded and retreated obediently.

Kang Xiaorong was invited into the princess's bedroom. He looked around vigilantly, fearing that he would fall into a trap.

From Tianning's attitude towards him just now, he had already been convinced that this Tianning was definitely a fake.

He subconsciously tightened the evil-repelling jade hanging on his belt and never dared to get within three steps of the fake princess.

Yanniang closed the doors and windows, sat at the table and asked, "Major General, there are only two of us here now, so you can just speak up if you have anything to say."

Yan Niang, who guessed that Kang Xiaorong had already seen through her identity, was no longer enthusiastic about playing the role of princess, and gradually returned to her original tone and gaze.

Kang Xiaorong read a bit of coquettishness on the fake princess's face. Fearing that he might be bewitched by her magic, he quickly looked away.

"Young General, you are not worried that this princess has been possessed by evil spirits, so you came here specially, right?" Yan Niang asked with ulterior motives.

"What a daring monster, you still dare to call yourself a princess." Kang Xiaorong was furious at Yanniang's attitude, and subconsciously tightened the evil-repelling sword hidden in his sleeve. You can't bring weapons into the princess's mansion, you can only bring a short peach wood sword for self-defense.

Yan Niang smiled and said contemptuously: "Young General, you are very courageous. You know that I am a demon, yet you still dare to come to my door. Aren't you afraid that you may never come back?" As she spoke, her eyes shone with golden light, as if she was deliberately trying to scare Kang Xiaorong.

Being stared at by those terrifying golden eyes, Kang Xiaorong was so frightened that he took a breath. As a military commander, his good qualities allowed him to perfectly hide his fear. He stared at Yan Niang calmly and said, "Tian Ning suffered a lot of grievances outside the palace, even... even..."

He took a deep breath and finally swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Yan Niang cast a gloomy look at Kang Xiaorong, and her brows unconsciously frowned a little.

What kind of grievances did Tian Ning suffer outside the palace? Even if Kang Xiaorong didn't say it, Yan Niang could read some information from his grief-stricken and regretful expression...

Kang Xiaorong attributed all the pain that Tianning had endured to Yanniang, and asked sternly, "What is your purpose in pretending to be a princess? How did you collude with the anti-imperialists who kidnapped the princess? If you answer truthfully, I might be able to spare your life!"

"Haha, the young general is so arrogant. It's still unclear who will spare whom." Yan Niang was not afraid of Kang Xiaorong's threat at all. She turned around leisurely and sat in a more comfortable position.

"If I don't have a way to control you, would I dare to come here and seek death?" Kang Xiaorong turned his wrist, and a wooden dagger appeared in his hand without him knowing. The tip of the dagger was a little red and looked a little wet, as if it had been coated with blood.

Yan Niang smelled the fishy smell of chicken blood in the air and immediately frowned.

"Young General, are you planning to use this against me, Princess?"

Kang Xiaorong didn't know how powerful the fox demon in front of him was. When he saw Yan Niang showing contempt and no fear at all, he felt that he might have underestimated her strength.

Fortunately, Yanniang had no intention of competing with Kang Xiaorong, and she advised calmly: "Young General, before you act, you'd better think clearly about what the consequences will be if I really die. You can tell everyone that the princess and the monster have swapped identities, and you killed the monster, allowing the real princess to return to the palace. But..." She changed the subject and her eyes suddenly cooled down, "How are you going to explain to everyone what the princess experienced outside the palace? Do you want everyone in the palace to know what happened to the princess outside the palace?"

Yan Niang, who vaguely guessed what happened to the princess, firmly grasped Kang Xiaorong's weakness.

Since Kang Xiaorong was unable to tell the princess what happened to her just now, it proves that he did not want to make that misfortune public.

Seeing that Kang Xiaorong's hand holding the dagger was wavering, Yan Niang continued, "Young General, for the princess's sake, the best way now is not to kill me, but to quietly bring the princess back, so that everyone will think that the princess has always stayed in the palace and has never been kidnapped. In this way, you don't have to explain what happened to the princess outside the palace."

I have to admit that this is indeed a better way than killing the fox demon.

In order to protect the princess's reputation, what happened to her outside the palace must be kept secret.

But... who is this fox demon in front of me? What is her purpose? Can she be trusted?

Faced with these big question marks, Kang Xiaorong did not dare to act rashly or answer easily.

Yan Niang gently pushed away the dagger in Kang Xiaorong's hand and said in a slightly tougher tone: "Major General, I am giving you a chance. If you insist on taking my life, I don't mind accompanying you to the end. But...what do you think your chances of winning are?"

Kang Xiaorong came here today without any intention to kill the fox demon, but just wanted to find out the truth. But the fox demon's arrogant attitude angered him, making him impulsively push the situation to this point. After calming down, he knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.

"Major General, how have you considered it?" Seeing Kang Xiaorong remained silent for a long time, Yanniang guessed that he had been persuaded by her, and the pride in her tone of victory could not help but increase a little, "Major General, in this case, it is getting late, you should go back. Let me know when you have arranged a plan to send the princess back to the palace. I am tired of staying in the palace and I am thinking of leaving."

Yanniang had cooperated with Liuguang and returned to the palace disguised as a princess, first to get rid of Yuanrong, second to facilitate the palace relocation, and third to protect Zhaoji and her son. But now Yuanrong has already turned into miasma to endanger the palace, and the princess's identity prevents her from always protecting Zhaoji. In addition, the current situation makes it difficult to put the palace relocation on the agenda, and dragging it out is just a waste of time. Yanniang, who has long been tired of Tianning's identity, is looking for a way to get rid of the princess's body. The appearance of Kang Xiaorong undoubtedly provides her with a great opportunity.

Yan Niang is ultimately a fox who likes to act alone and is not good at cooperating with others. She has already decided to unilaterally terminate the agreement with Liu Guang, otherwise she will continue to be used and unable to escape, knowing that Liu Guang will not help her to truly get rid of Yuan Rong.

At this time, Kang Xiaorong had already retracted the dagger and stood there blankly.

His mind was a little dizzy, and he wondered if he had been bewitched by the fox demon. Why did he so easily believe her sweet words? Did she really want to leave the palace, or did she have other plans? Kang Xiaorong couldn't find any clues.

"Okay... I'll let you go this time, but don't be complacent or play tricks. I will definitely let Tianning return to the palace."

Before leaving, Kang Xiaorong, who refused to admit defeat, threatened Yan Niang.

"What I'm waiting for is for you to let Tianning return to the palace, Young General." Yan Niang stood up, opened the door herself, and sent Kang Xiaorong out.

Kang Xiaorong snorted, glared at Yan Niang coldly, and left without looking back.

Yan Niang looked at his back and sighed: "Young General, have you really fallen in love with the princess?"

In the past, Kang Xiaorong avoided Tian Ning as much as possible, but now...

His words and attitude all showed his care for the princess. Although care is not necessarily love, Tianning's position in his heart was undoubtedly several times heavier than before, as heavy as a huge stone weighing on his heart, which could not be moved or removed. With this huge stone, would the young general still have room for other people?

Thinking of this, Yan Niang shook her head. Human love was something she would never be able to understand no matter how many lifetimes she spent.

The next day.

The early morning sunlight slowly poured in from the window and fell on Ji Annie's sleeping face.

She had woken up a long time ago, but she was reluctant to get up. This was the privilege of a patient, no one would nag her even if she stayed in bed.

Ji Anni allowed herself to waste time lying in bed with her mind a little confused. Many unfamiliar memories, strange memories, and memories that did not belong to her were all cluttered in her head. She could not tell which ones she had experienced personally and which ones had nothing to do with her.

What happened to me...

Ji Anni turned over, closed her eyes, and forced herself to fall asleep so that she wouldn't worry about who she was.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps stopping at the door, followed by a pleasant male voice: "My lady, are you awake?"

Ji Anni, who didn't want to be considered a lazy person, quickly responded, "Awake."

"Is your Majesty feeling better?" the man asked again.

This time, Ji Annie finally identified the owner of the voice as the silver-haired Taoist priest who took care of her yesterday, also known as the Imperial Master Yun Zhen.
