Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 454: Captured without mercy

Because of the white light protecting it, the black shadow couldn't touch Yizhen at all. It just stayed in mid-air without any movement.

What on earth happened? Long Mohan and the shadow's true identity, Xiaoxue, had the same question in their minds.

Witnessing the wonder before his eyes, he couldn't understand what kind of magical power Yizhen had that allowed her to fight against the demons.

At this time, the sound of guards hurrying in was heard outside the door. They probably heard Yizhen's scream and the sound of Long Mohan smashing the teacup, so they hurried over to protect the emperor.

Xiaoxue was sensitive enough to sense that there was a spiritual force in the crowd approaching her. People with spiritual power usually work to exorcise demons, and Xiaoxue, who didn't want to fight them, had no choice but to run away.

She quickly let go of Yizhen and fled to the back window in the form of a shadow. When the guards rushed into the room, she had already successfully escaped out of the window. Because it was so smooth, she was careless and thought she had escaped. She turned back into a white rabbit in the grass about a hundred steps away from the bedroom. The palace is large and densely covered with grass, so it is not surprising to see small animals such as cats, dogs and rabbits from time to time. Therefore, as long as no one sees the transformation process, Xiaoxue, who appears in the form of a white rabbit, is still very safe.

Not only did she fail to help Prince Ming get revenge, but she was almost suppressed by the unknown power in Yizhen. Xiaoxue felt indescribable resentment in her heart. This Yizhen seemed to be more than a simple person, and must have some background.

As he thought about it, he jumped towards the direction of the South Palace in a depressed mood.

But as she was dancing, a bright light suddenly appeared on the ground, surrounding Xiaoxue in the center.

Not good! Xiaoxue tensed up instantly, pricked up her ears and looked around for the enemy's hiding place. But she was still a step too late. The light floating on the ground was actually a circular seal - Yun Zhen had used the same seal when he captured Yuan Rong not long ago. Whether it was a human or a demon, as long as they walked into the seal and were surrounded by the seal, all their magic power would be useless and they would have no choice but to surrender.

But after the Road of Life and Death collapsed, Yun Zhen's life or death was uncertain. The only one in the palace who could use this seal was Yun Zhen's disciple, Xuanjizi.

Seeing that Xiaoxue had already walked into the seal, Xuanjizi and Liuguang, who were hiding in the dark, finally appeared.

It turned out that the spiritual power that Xiaoxue felt in the bedroom just now came from Xuanjizi.

Although the guards did not chase Xiaoxue, Xuanjizi and Liuguang followed Xiaoxue carefully. Xuanjizi used magic to help Liuguang and himself conceal their presence, so Xiaoxue did not notice their presence and was unaware that she was being followed.

Xiaoxue, who was trapped in the seal, secretly cried out that something was wrong. She raised her head and her eyes met Liuguang's eyes that were as sharp as an eagle.

From Liuguang's gaze, Xiaoxue was sure that he had recognized her as the rabbit that helped Prince Ming escape yesterday.

"It's this rabbit again. I should have thought that it was a monster." Liuguang walked towards Xiaoxue on the lawn.

The leather boots stepped on the grass, making a rustling sound, which was very scary. He stopped outside the seal and drew out his long sword. Xiaoxue pricked up her ears in fear, thinking that he was going to kill her, but he only poked Xiaoxue's body lightly with the tip of the sword.

Xiaoxue glared at him angrily and dodged without saying a word.

Trapped by the seal, she could no longer cast any spells. Otherwise, she would definitely make this rude captain suffer.

"This little demon doesn't have much magical power, but he actually dared to attack the emperor. There must be a demon king behind him instructing him." Xuanjizi came behind Liuguang, stared at Xiaoxue, and then came to this conclusion.

Xiaoxue snorted in her heart: I am not attacking the emperor, I am protecting the emperor! The one with the real problem is that Concubine Su!

Liuguang said nothing, staring straight at Xiaoxue, his scorching gaze almost burning Xiaoxue's skin.

What on earth was this man planning? Xiaoxue was filled with fear.

Just a gaze made Xiaoxue feel suppressed and defeated by the other party.

Liuguang said to Xuanjizi, "If it weren't for this little demon causing trouble, I wouldn't have lost Prince Ming. Don't hurt its life, because it must know the whereabouts of Prince Ming."

Xiaoxue cursed inwardly: This man is so cruel and ruthless. If I didn't know the whereabouts of Prince Ming, I would have been killed to silence him long ago.

"Seal its demonic power first. I want to pry open its mouth and find out the whereabouts of Prince Ming." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Yes." Xuanjizi bowed his head and saw him off respectfully. After Liuguang had gone far away, he turned his gaze back to Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue subconsciously took two steps back, but was unable to escape the range of the seal on the ground.

Xuanjizi slowly clenched his five fingers into a fist. The seal on the ground gradually became smaller as he moved, and finally turned into a light-like rope, tightly binding Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue knew she was no match for Xuanjizi, so she closed her eyes resignedly and did not resist. If she had the energy to struggle now, she might as well save it for when the time was right to escape.

Xianke Pavilion.

After Yuan Rong and Yun Zhen left, the deep house looked even more desolate and empty. The dark green trees in the yard turned into a thick black under the cover of night. The footsteps became very scary in the silence, and finally stopped in front of a remote room. There was a thin layer of dust on the window sills, door frames and corridors outside the door. It seemed that no one had passed by for several months.

Liuguang pushed open the door and threw Xiaoxue into the corner with a "bang". Xuanjizi followed closely behind and closed the door carefully.

"Can't we make this monster speak human language?" Liuguang glared at Xiaoxue angrily.

Xiaoxue fell so hard that her eyes were dizzy and her bones were almost broken.

She was still wrapped in a circle of light ropes, which not only bound her freedom, but also sealed her magic, making her even worse than an ordinary white rabbit, let alone defeating Liuguang and Xuanjizi, two big men, one who knew swordsmanship and the other who knew magic. She endured the pain in her body and slowly shrank into the corner, not knowing what kind of torture was waiting for her.

"Please forgive me for my inability to help you." Xuanjizi's practice is still shallow, he can only make the monster change back to its original form, but cannot make the original form turn back into a monster.

Liuguang walked to the corner, drew his sword and thrust it into Xiaoxue's side, threatening her: "Bai Tu, you'd better listen to me and don't refuse my toast. I just want to know the whereabouts of Prince Ming and don't want to harm your life. You must force me to kill you."

Xiaoxue said nothing, just like an ordinary rabbit, curled up into a ball and didn't react at all.

Liuguang became even more enraged and put the sword across Xiaoxue's neck.

When the cold sword blade touched her skin, Xiaoxue trembled slightly in fear.

"I'll count to three, and you'd better turn into a human form, or I'll cut your neck with my sword." He tightened his grip on the sword. Even if he lost Xiaoxue, Liuguang could find another way to find the whereabouts of Prince Ming. A little demon that refused to speak, let it pay the price of angering him with its life.

"Sir..." Xuanjizi, with kindness in his heart, opened his mouth to stop him.

But Liu Guang, who had sensed his intention, shouted, "Shut up and get out!"

The sudden scolding made Xuanjizi stand there in a daze, not understanding what mistake he had made.

"I told you to get out." Liuguang's voice softened a little, but the toughness in his tone did not diminish in the slightest.

Xuanjizi hesitated for a moment, knowing that he had no chance of persuading Liuguang, so he had to retreat helplessly.

After he closed the door and left, Liuguang spoke again and said to Xiaoxue, "White Rabbit, you don't want to show your human form, is it because you are afraid of being recognized? Don't worry, there are only you and me here. Even if I recognize who you are, I will keep your secret. What's more, I have only been in the palace for a short time, and I may not have seen you at all. I don't know who you are. What are you afraid of? Do you want to risk your life to protect an abandoned prince?"

Xiaoxue was a little shaken. The sword blade pressed tightly against her neck made her entire head frozen.

She didn't want to die here now... If she died, who would take care of Concubine Gan? Who would help Concubine Gan find her childhood playmate named Chang Shun? But she didn't want to betray Prince Ming, and didn't want to be a ghost under the sword of Liuguang.

What should I do? My frozen brain suddenly started to work at high speed.

"One..." Liuguang has started counting.

"Two..." Liuguang grabbed Xiaoxue's ears and forced her to raise her head, revealing her snow-white neck.

"Three!" When the last syllable came out, Xiaoxue's body suddenly emitted a ball of white light.

Liuguang subconsciously let go of Xiaoxue, stood up and took two steps back.

In the white light, the white rabbit's body was rapidly growing. After a while, it had turned into a woman curled up on the ground. Even after returning to human form, the light rope tied to her body still did not disappear. Xiaoxue was still unable to use magic and had no freedom of movement.

"So it's a woman, how brave she is." After witnessing the transformation just now, Liuguang's cold expression added a bit of surprise. This surprise was half because the white rabbit could really transform into a human form, and the other half because the monster that attacked the emperor was actually a female.

"I won't tell you the whereabouts of Prince Ming." Xiaoxue raised her head and made her position clear in the first sentence.

Hearing her firm tone, Liu Guang didn't know how to respond for a moment. After a moment of silence, he laughed helplessly and asked, "You turned into a human form, not just to tell me that you can't say anything, right?"

"Although I won't tell you the whereabouts of Prince Ming, I can tell you other secrets." Xiaoxue swallowed and pretended to be calm, but her trembling voice had already exposed her fear.

Liuguang looked at her mysteriously, and his deep gaze could almost guess Xiaoxue's tricks.

Xiaoxue took a breath, betting on the last bit of courage, and asked: "Don't you want to know what the emperor and Concubine Su talked about in the room just now? That must be more interesting than the whereabouts of Prince Ming, because... they talked about the prince in Concubine Shui's belly... and the throne..."
