Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 452 New Wife and New Son

"Let me guess, is the prince missing his mother?" Xiaoxue's eyes rolled, she had already seen through Prince Ming's thoughts.

Prince Ming remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

"Prince, you'd better turn into a fox. It will be safer this way." Xiaoxue said as she walked to the table, picked up the porcelain cup and pot, and poured a cup of something for Prince Ming.

"Is it wine?" Prince Ming smelled the aroma of wine in the air.

Xiaoxue nodded, "It's wine. If the alcohol in the granulated sugar can make you transform, then this glass of wine is even better for your transformation. If someone sees you in human form and the emperor hears about it, you will be in big trouble."

As he spoke, he came up to Prince Ming with a wine glass.

Transforming into a fox is indeed a good way to hide one's identity. Prince Ming understood Xiaoxue's painstaking efforts. He took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all. Suddenly, a hot air surged up from his throat, as if it was burning and brought a sharp pain.

Prince Ming's face turned red, and his stomach felt like it had been thrown into boiling water. It was hot and painful, and he couldn't help wanting to vomit out his gastric juice.

Seeing him drinking so heartily, Xiaoxue was startled, and hurriedly snatched the wine glass, shouting in surprise: "Prince, this is wine, not water, how can you drink it like this? Isn't it enough to just take a sip?" She regretted it very much, and if she had known earlier, she would have added some water to the wine. If Prince Ming drank anything bad, Concubine Gan would blame her.

"No...it's okay...Sister Xiaoxue, you...don't worry..." Prince Ming waved his hands, trying to comfort Xiaoxue, but his drunken actions made Xiaoxue even more nervous.

Xiaoxue thought: It’s over, it’s over, he can’t even speak clearly, he must be very drunk.

Just as she was thinking about it, Prince Ming fell towards her.

"Sister Xiaoxue... I, I... I feel so dizzy and can't open my eyes..." Prince Ming whimpered like a dream, with his arms around Xiaoxue's waist.

Xiaoxue realized that she was in trouble and hurriedly helped Prince Ming to the bed.

She held the muddy Prince Ming in one hand and skillfully made the bed with the other. Before she could help Prince Ming onto the bed, the body of the man in her arms gradually shrank. Soon, it turned into a furry snow fox.

The snow fox is snow-white all over, but if you push aside the white fur, you can see that the skin underneath is pink.

"It's over, Prince, don't scare me." Xiaoxue stuffed Prince Ming into the quilt, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and kept praying to the Buddha. Fortunately, Prince Ming had no adverse reactions except sleeping, neither vomiting nor having a rash.

"Prince? Prince..." Xiaoxue whispered softly beside Prince Ming's ear, but received no response. Prince Ming must have fallen asleep. "Okay, you should have a good rest. I hope you will be fine after you wake up..."

Xiaoxue covered Prince Ming with the quilt and was about to leave when she heard Prince Ming say, "Mother..."

This "mother" is the cry of a fox. Ordinary people cannot understand it. Only Xiaoxue, the white rabbit spirit, knows the meaning of the cry.

"So you're missing your mother..." Xiaoxue couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Prince Ming and was reluctant to leave.

She sat back on the bed and gently stroked the hair on Prince Ming's back, hoping that this would help him sleep more peacefully.

Time passed slowly, and before she knew it, Xiaoxue had been guarding Prince Ming's bedside for three or four hours.

A day passed like this, and Prince Ming still showed no signs of waking up.

Xiaoxue couldn't help but worry. What if Prince Ming never woke up from his sleep?

In the evening, Xiaoxue's stomach started to growl. She hadn't eaten anything all day and was beginning to feel a little tired.

"Mother..." Prince Ming, who had slept soundly all day, suddenly made a sound, and his body moved a little, as if he was about to wake up. Xiaoxue quickly increased her attention and stared at Prince Ming's every move.

Prince Ming's body did not move, but his mouth opened and closed, mumbling: "Mother, please return to father soon... Father has changed, he doesn't love you or me anymore... He despises us for being monsters, and now he only listens to Concubine Su..."

Alcohol not only turns Prince Ming into a fox, but also makes him speak the truth and confuse him about the pain in his heart.

The sleepy Xiaoxue suddenly perked up and asked, "Su Congfei? Is that Su Yizhen?"

Although the news in Nangong Palace was closed, Xiaoxue was quite interested in the palace gossip. In particular, Xiaoxue secretly paid attention to Zhaoji, who was also a demon, and knew that her closest friend in the palace was a concubine named Su Yizhen.

Hearing the resentment in Prince Ming's words, Xiaoxue vaguely realized that Long Mohan's change was related to Yizhen's instigation.

Under her questioning, Prince Ming confided the truth, including Yizhen taking out sand shell candy for him to eat, and advising Long Mohan that he must be ruthless and abandon the fox demon mother and son in order to start over. In addition, he also told her about Zhao Ji hiding in Wenhuayuan.

Xiaoxue's nerves were tense, as if she was listening to a gripping story. The more she listened, the more she felt indignant for Prince Ming.

So what if they are monsters? Monsters have their own emotions. It is more dangerous for a monster to fall in love with a human than for a human to fall in love with a monster. It requires more courage because they have to risk being shunned by their companions, losing their friends, and perhaps never being understood by their family for the rest of their lives.

Since Concubine Su is so afraid of monsters...

Xiaoxue had evil intentions and decided to secretly scare Yizhen as revenge for Prince Ming.

It was late at night, the sky was overcast and not a single star could be seen.

After the Road of Life and Death collapsed, the road in the palace was severely damaged. A good palace was almost turned into a pile of ruins. Rumors spread in the palace that monsters were rampant, a disaster was coming, and a bloody incident must have happened recently.

In the bedroom, Long Mohan had no desire to sleep.

He drank by himself, his eyes were dull and his expression was decadent.

"Your Majesty, you drink too much. It's not good for your health." Yizhen held Long Mohan's wine glass and looked at him worriedly.

Due to the effects of alcohol, Long Mohan couldn't see Yizhen's face clearly. He could only vaguely see five or six swaying shadows. He thought Yizhen was Zhaoji and subconsciously called out, "Zhaoji..."

As soon as the word "Zhao Ji" came out of his mouth, he sobered up. Long Mohan came back to his senses, stroked Yizhen's hand, and said softly: "I'm sorry... I must be drunk..."

"No, the emperor is not drunk. At least he is very clear in his heart - he knows that he is thinking about Zhao Ji." Although Yizhen was sad, she did not show it on her face. She pursed her lips and shook her head gently, looking very aggrieved, which made Long Mohan feel a little heartbroken.

"Actually, I regret it a little bit... I shouldn't have hurt Ming'er like that, he's innocent..." Thinking of the way Prince Ming looked at him, Long Mohan felt a pain in his heart. But for some reason, he felt that he couldn't go against Yizhen's words. Yizhen's words seemed to contain a kind of magic power, and he was bound and controlled by that magic power, and had no ability to choose and make free decisions.

"Yizhen, why do I feel that you are so different from before..." Long Mohan shook his head gently, unable to explain what this strange feeling was. Although Zhao Ji was a demon, Yizhen now looked more like a demon, exuding the aura of a demon that seduced humans.

Yizhen lowered her head and dared not say a word, her heart beating fast.

Long Mohan's words reminded her of the bowl of black water she drank a few days ago. It was the poison that Yuan Rong gave her, which was said to give her the "power of fox charm". She couldn't resist the temptation of the poison and drank it all.

She had long since lost track of whether her strong feelings for Soji were envy or jealousy.

She only knew that she wanted to see Long Mohan's smile more than Zhao Ji, and wanted to stay by his side, be loved by him, and spend the rest of her life with him. As long as he could look at her more and say one more word to her, she would do it even at the cost of her life.

Black Water earned her Long Mohan's love and trust, but it also brought her fear and anxiety.

Yuan Rong, who gave her the magic, will definitely harass her and force her to submit in the future.

After drinking the black water, she might have already become a puppet controlled by Yuan Rong, and would eventually face a choice that she could not control. But at least now... her eyes subconsciously moved to Long Mohan's face. His drunken face made Yizhen's heart beat and hurt.

How nice it would be if this man loved me as much as I love him, how nice it would be if this man only had me in his heart.

Long Mohan noticed that Yizhen's eyebrows were furrowed and she looked uneasy, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Yizhen is not unhappy, but she is worried that the emperor can't forget Zhaoji and her son, and is indulging in the numbness brought by wine, and refuses to return to reality." Yizhen stared at Long Mohan's face seriously. She, who has always been weak, had a bit more severity in her eyes.

"Reality? Reality means that your wife and children are separated, power is lost, home is no longer a home, and country is no longer a country... What is there to be nostalgic about in such a reality?" If possible, Long Mohan would rather choose to be an alcoholic and spend the rest of his life in a drunken stupor.

"The country is not what it used to be, so Yizhen cannot interfere. But the emperor said that the family is not what it used to be, but Yizhen disagrees. Are Zhaoji and Prince Ming the only wives and children of the emperor? Doesn't the emperor consider Yizhen as a family member?"

Yizhen's stern questioning brought Long Mohan back to reality from the chaos. Long Mohan wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't find any excuse.

"Your Majesty..." Yizhen gently moved closer to Long Mohan, pressing her body against him tightly, "If Your Majesty feels that this home doesn't feel like home, Yizhen hopes to give Your Majesty a more complete and happier new home, give birth to a new prince for Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty forget about Zhaoji and Prince Ming. In this way, Your Majesty will not indulge in pain and blindly escape from reality."

After listening to her confession, Long Mohan subconsciously put his arm around her shoulders, feeling as if he had found a soulmate.

This woman loved me so sincerely and longed for the same in return. If we could spend more time together, maybe I would really fall in love with her, just as she loved me.

"Yizhen, if I were not the emperor, would you still say what you just said?" Long Mohan stroked her hair lovingly.
