Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 445 Entering the Palace to Search for Someone

Bai Tu replied with a little pride: "Yes, if she wasn't a concubine, how could she bring a maid into the palace?"

At this time, Prince Ming finally realized what was going on. He stared at the white rabbit with wide eyes and said, "So you are the maid of Concubine Gan!"

On his first day in the palace, Prince Ming met Concubine Gan for the first time at a dinner hosted by the Empress Dowager.

Later, I heard some rumors about this imperial concubine from others. I learned that her real name was Gan Wanruo, her father was the county magistrate of Deyang County, and she brought a maid with her when she entered the palace with the emperor's permission. She was cold and aloof, and apart from the little maid she brought into the palace, she hardly got close to anyone. She was a veritable "iceberg beauty."

Thinking that this was her palace, the introverted Prince Ming couldn't help but become even more frightened, and asked Bai Tu, "Are we going to see Concubine Gan?"

Bai Tu said, "Of course, let the queen treat the wound on your face first. If you accidentally leave a scar... it will be a pity for your lovely face."

Prince Ming uttered a soft "Oh". The blood had already coagulated on the hair on his face, and it hurt when he opened his mouth to speak. Thinking of the fearful look in Long Mohan's eyes just now, a heavy shadow shrouded his heart again.

"Xiaoxue." A soft call came from the window.

Prince Ming subconsciously raised his head and saw Concubine Gan staring at him.

Her eyes were clear and cold, without a trace of surprise, as if it was normal. Logically speaking, seeing Xiaoxue suddenly bring back a strange fox, she would be shocked. She is indeed a special person.

At this time, Xiaoxue looked around carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, she closed her eyes and a cloud of white smoke came out of her body. Under the cover of the white smoke, Prince Ming vaguely saw a shadow gradually getting bigger, changing from a rabbit to a human shape.

He was so frightened that he was stunned. Although he was also a monster and had experienced the transformation process, this was the first time he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

He gradually understood how Long Mohan felt when he saw his transformation. No wonder his father found it hard to accept. If it were him, he might not have performed as well as him. After all, when Liu Guang took him away, Long Mohan showed deep pain and reluctance.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my father. It seems like he doesn’t dare to go against Su Yizhen’s wishes and obeys that hypocritical woman.

Prince Ming vaguely guessed that Long Mohan's change was related to Su Yizhen. But he never thought that Yizhen used witchcraft.

After Xiaoxue turned into a human form, she held the dazed Prince Ming in her arms and walked towards Concubine Gan's room.

Prince Ming suddenly came to his senses after being picked up. He lay uneasily in Xiaoxue's arms, staring at the expressionless Concubine Gan with trepidation.

Xiaoxue came to Concubine Gan. Concubine Gan stretched out two fingers, gently touched Prince Ming's ears, and asked, "This is Prince Ming, right? How did he become like this?"

Prince Ming was startled and asked hurriedly, "How did you know it was me?"

His voice sounded just like the howling of a fox to ordinary humans, who could not understand it at all. However, Concubine Gan understood it and replied, "Of course I know it's you. I knew it was you at the first sight."

Prince Ming was even more surprised, his eyes widened, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Of course I understand." Concubine Gan noticed the wound on Prince Ming's face, her brows slightly furrowed, and finally a trace of worry appeared on her face. She turned to ask Xiaoxue, "...Who hurt you?"

Xiaoxue replied, "Probably injured by the guards."

Prince Ming corrected him, "I was injured by the governor, the one who chased me in the bushes. If it weren't for Sister Xiaoxue's rescue, I would have been thrown out of the palace by him."

"Why did you suddenly turn into a fox?" Concubine Gan's gaze returned to Prince Ming.

"I... I turned into a fox voluntarily, I... I wanted to see my mother..." Prince Ming was reluctant to tell others that Yizhen had forced Long Mohan to feed him sand shell candy, fearing that he would start to burst into tears halfway through the story.

"Do you know where your mother is?" asked Concubine Gan.

"..." Prince Ming lowered his head, hesitating whether to speak or not. My mother is being hunted, and I must not reveal her whereabouts.

Concubine Gan saw his doubts and comforted him, "Forget it, I am not anxious to know the whereabouts of Concubine Zhao Cong. I will feel relieved as long as I know that she is still alive."

Prince Ming raised his head in confusion, his eyes sparkling, and asked, "Are you worried about my mother? Aren't you afraid of her?"

This Concubine Gan is really weird. She clearly knows that she is a fox demon, but she still talks to me calmly. She and Yizhen screamed when they saw her transformation. Compared with Long Mohan's pale face, her reaction is really not like that of a normal person.

Prince Ming asked timidly: "I am a fox, you...you are not afraid?"

Concubine Gan took Prince Ming from Xiaoxue and walked towards the bed with him in her arms, "I'm afraid I won't be able to spend every day with Xiaoxue."

That's right, Xiaoxue is also a monster. Since Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue are as close as sisters, she should be very receptive to monsters.

"But aren't you surprised?" Prince Ming was put on the bed by Concubine Gan. He looked up at her blankly and asked.

Although only a few short words were spoken, Prince Ming's impression of Concubine Gan had changed. He no longer felt that she was an iceberg who was difficult to approach, but felt that she was just like an ordinary person, with normal emotions that just weren't shown on her face.

"Could it be... Could it be that you are also a monster?" Prince Ming had long felt that Concubine Gan was different from ordinary people, and perhaps she was of the same kind as himself.

"The queen is not a monster, she is just a person with magical powers." Xiaoxue walked to the bedside with scissors and ointment.

Concubine Gan did not respond, but carefully used scissors to cut the hair on Prince Ming's face, and then applied a layer of ointment on the wound.

As soon as the ointment touched his skin, it brought a cool feeling to Prince Ming. He squinted his eyes and made a "woo..." sound.

"Does it still hurt?" asked Concubine Gan.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, just a little cold..." Prince Ming looked at Concubine Gan with gratitude. The Concubine Gan in front of him suddenly looked a bit like Zhao Ji in his memory. He had just been abandoned by his father, and he absorbed the warmth from Concubine Gan and was deeply moved.

"Aren't you a boy? Be patient." Xiaoxue winked at him.

"Didn't I say it hurt..." Prince Ming lowered his head somewhat aggrieved.

After Concubine Gan applied the medicine on him, she held him on her knees, stroked him gently and said, "Prince, it seems that you will have to stay with me for a while. Since the governor wants to throw you out of the palace, it means that your identity has been exposed to many people, right?"

Although Prince Ming did not say a word about what happened, Concubine Gan cleverly guessed the whole story.

Prince Ming stood up excitedly and asked, "Are you willing to take me in?"

In a short period of time, Concubine Gan brought him so many surprises one after another that he was a little overwhelmed and suspected that he was dreaming.

"What else? Can I throw you out of the palace like the governor did?" Concubine Gan and Prince Ming joked.

But even though she was joking, her expression didn't change. It was still cold and lifeless, but Prince Ming could feel that she was smiling in her heart.

"My queen, since you have magical powers, can you use magic like Yun Zhen?" Prince Ming asked curiously. If possible, maybe he could send himself to Zhao Ji, and then send himself and Zhao Ji out of the palace together, away from danger.

Unexpectedly, all I got was Concubine Gan shaking her head. "I don't know any magic, but I have a pair of yin-yang eyes since I was born, which allows me to see things that others can't understand."

"So you knew I was a fox when you saw me for the first time?" Prince Ming asked in surprise.

Concubine Gan nodded.

"On my first day in the palace, at the Queen Mother's dinner, you knew I was a fox?" Prince Ming asked again, unable to believe it. If it was true, Concubine Gan's ability to keep her mouth shut was too strong.

Xiaoxue answered for Concubine Gan, "Not only you, at the Queen Mother's dinner, Her Majesty also discovered that Zhao Ji was also a fox demon."

"But..." Prince Ming wanted to ask, since they knew they were fox demons, why didn't they show any emotion or reaction? But thinking back carefully, Concubine Gan was not silent that night. The way she looked at Zhao Ji and him did contain some incomprehensible and very profound meaning.

"I once mustered up the courage and tried to approach Concubine Zhao Cong and talk to her. I thought I could become friends with her. Unexpectedly, a disaster struck and she fell into crisis, hiding everywhere..." There was some worry in her words.

"Why do you want to get close to my mother?" Prince Ming was puzzled. Most people would avoid the person next to them if they knew they were a monster, but Concubine Gan was just the opposite.

"I have had no friends since I was a child. Only monsters and ghosts are willing to talk to me and relieve my boredom. Over time, the friendship between me and monsters has become deeper than that between me and humans. I always deal with monsters, so perhaps I have long forgotten how to get along with humans..." When she said this, Concubine Gan's eyes revealed a hint of loneliness that was clearly visible, and she seemed no longer the expressionless iceberg.

"Have you never had any human friends?" Prince Ming couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the empress he had just met.

This question hit the sore spot for Concubine Gan. Her eyes suddenly dimmed and she replied softly, "I had a human friend, but... that was a long time ago..."

"Who is he? Where is he? If you enter the palace, you won't be able to see him anymore, right?" Prince Ming asked worriedly.

Concubine Gan shook her head, gently stroked the soft hair on Prince Ming's back, and said, "I entered the palace just to find him."

"He's in the palace?" Prince Ming was even more surprised. "Who is he?"

"Because I was born with yin-yang eyes, I can always see strange things. My parents hated it, so they covered my eyes with a black cloth and didn't allow me to see anything. So, I have never seen him, I only heard his voice and knew his name - his name is Chang Shun. He was originally a servant of my family, but five years ago he entered the palace as a guard and never came back."

Talking about the past, Concubine Gan couldn't help but sigh.
