Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 343 Daily Summary 4

On the third day, Ji Anni wanted to find out Hua Rong's true feelings about the princess' marriage, but Hua Rong remained stubborn.

On the fourth day, Shui Furong was found to be pregnant as planned and was named a noble concubine.

On the fifth day, after Shui Furong moved into the West Palace, Yizhen came to Wenhua Courtyard to visit Ji Anni. At Ji Anni's strong request, Yizhen helped Ji Anni escape from Taoyuan through the window and went to the imperial kitchen to make shortbread for Prince Ming, hoping that this would help Prince Ming recover. When Yizhen delivered the shortbread to the West Palace, she unexpectedly met Long Mohan who came to visit the patient. Long Mohan's help and care for her suddenly made her feel excited. After that, under Long Mohan's suggestion, the depressed Prince Ming was sent to Taoyuan to live with Ji Anni. But Concubine An, who was not willing to be outdone, also moved there.

On the sixth day, Ji Anni forgot to wake Prince Ming up, causing him to be late and receive a lot of cold stares from Concubine An. When Shui Furong came to visit Ji Anni, she talked about the fox demon queen eating people. Coincidentally, that night, Prince Ming bit a poisonous snake to death, which scared Ji Anni half to death. Prince Ming had no idea about eating snakes, and Ji Anni hid all the bloody evidence.

On the seventh day, after Prince Ming went to class, Ji Anni hurriedly cleaned the blood on the sheets. Concubine An next door said she saw a poisonous snake and asked the guards to use incense to drive away the snake. The guard who drove the snake away was Lai De. Lai De accidentally mentioned that the poisonous snake that bit Concubine Baogui to death had two pairs of fangs. Ji Anni dug out the snake bones buried outside the window and saw that there were two pairs of fangs, so she suspected that Concubine Baogui was killed by Concubine An. Ji Anni, who could not forgive Concubine An, agreed to follow Hua Rong's arrangement and stop Concubine An from becoming the queen at any cost. She drank the poisonous soup under Hua Rong's instigation and was sent to the Imperial Hospital.

On the eighth day, the Queen Mother and Kang Xiaorong had a dispute, so she announced angrily that Kang Xiaorong would be married to Princess Tianning two days later. When Long Mohan came to visit Ji Anni in the Imperial Hospital, Ji Anni could not help but tell him that she was not Zhao Ji. Long Mohan was deeply shocked, but he had no choice but to agree to find a way to help Ji Anni lift the house arrest order. Fortunately, the princess' wedding was held and the whole country was pardoned. With Long Mohan's intercession, Ji Anni finally regained her freedom.

On the ninth day, when Ji Anni returned to Wenhua Court from the Imperial Hospital, she met an unexpected person. This person was the Minister of Personnel, Gongzi Liuguang, who had taken in Ji Anni and Yun Zhen for one night. Perhaps because of his family's protection, the Ministry of Personnel appointed him as the Imperial Palace Commandant, replacing Kang Xiaorong's position. Another unexpected thing happened that day. After Ji Anni returned to Wenhua Court, the eunuch Lian sent the Queen Mother's decree and dowry clothes, saying that the Queen Mother specifically asked Ji Anni to join the team to send Tian Ning off tomorrow.

On the tenth day, Princess Tianning's wedding day finally arrived, but just after leaving the palace, the team was attacked by the rebels. Amid the sound of explosions, Ji Anni was led out of the crowd by the fierce horse and rushed into the depths of the woods, but she still couldn't escape the tragic fate of being thrown off the horse. Fortunately, she was rescued by Lai De who was chasing her. Although her life was not in danger, her injured ankle made it difficult for her to walk. When Lai De carried her on his back to find water, he accidentally found Long Mohan lying by the stream. Ji Anni asked Lai De to carry Long Mohan on his back, and she followed behind with a cane, but she was left alone because of exhaustion...

Ji Annie lay on the ground with her face up, the night wind blowing hard, making her teeth chatter.

No, no... If I lie in a place like this all night, I will be frozen into a popsicle by tomorrow morning. I must catch up with Lai De and Long Mohan before they get too far away from me, otherwise it will be too late.

Ji Anni held the broken crutch tightly again and climbed up from the ground with difficulty. The half crutch was only high enough to support her kneeling. After kneeling, she held on to a tree trunk beside her and finally stood up. Although she could stand up, her right leg was still so painful that she couldn't move at all. What should she do? Ji Anni subconsciously turned her head and looked around to see if there were any props nearby that could be used. Reality is always cruel. She could not see anything except a pile of weeds and branches.

"Laide, Lai De..." Ji Anni called out in the woods. God bless Lai De, please let him hear her voice.

She called for a long time, but still didn't hear Lai De's response. It was terrible, could it be that Lai De had gone far away?

Ji Anni continued to shout, and suddenly she heard a strange sound of wind coming from the bushes, as if a fierce ghost was about to jump out suddenly. She was frightened so much that she became silent and dared not make a sound anymore.

An unprecedented fear enveloped her, and she subconsciously reached for the small stone hanging on her chest. "Yun Zhen... Yun Zhen..." Where are you? I want to see you.

Her call was answered by an anxious inquiry: "My Lady, where are you?"

It was Yun Zhen's voice! Ji Anni was so moved that her eyes were hot. She quickly responded, "I don't know where I am either... I, I seem to be lost."

It wasn't that I seemed to be lost, but that I was indeed lost. I subconsciously said "seemed" because I didn't want Yun Zhen to worry about me.

"Your Majesty, are you outside the palace? Listen to me carefully, the palace has been blocked, and I cannot leave until reinforcements arrive. Your Majesty, you must not return to the palace, run in the opposite direction of the palace. After the rebels are dispersed, someone will come to take you back to the palace." Yun Zhen's voice sounded very hurried, as if he was still busy with many trivial matters.

"Yunzhen, I'm scared... Lai De and I got separated, and now I'm alone..."

After hearing Ji Anni's pitiful voice, Yun Zhen felt really sad and said, "My queen, don't worry. Although I can't be by your side, I can send a shikigami to protect you."

"Shikigami?" It sounds like something amazing.

"Empress, try calling Cang Gui." Yun Zhen's calm voice came from inside the stone.

"Cang Gui?" It sounds like a strange name.

"Don't shout it out, because if you shout it out, everyone else will know the name. Just call it with your heart, and it will hear you."

Each shikigami has a name. Once the real name of a shikigami is known by a sorcerer, it becomes the sorcerer's servant. Anyone who calls out the name Cang Gui can become Cang Gui's master. Yun Zhen told Ji Anni the name of Cang Gui, which was equivalent to giving Ji Anni the ability to control Cang Gui, but he was afraid that Ji Anni would accidentally leak Cang Gui's name, so he specifically reminded her just now.

Ji Anni followed Yun Zhen's words, closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and silently called out Cang Gui's name in her heart.

She had just shouted three times when she heard a loud eagle cry above her head. In the silent night, the eagle cry seemed very distant and terrifying.

Cang Gui... Could this be the Cang Gui? Ji Anni raised her head and looked for the Cang Gui's voice and shadow in the night sky by the moonlight. She saw a familiar eagle circling directly above her head.

This eagle looked familiar, as if it was the eagle that Yun Zhen summoned when the soul of Concubine Baogui appeared at the end of Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. Ten days ago, after Ji Anni was kidnapped by Yan Niang and taken to the cave, Yun Zhen had released this eagle to explore the way. At that time, the eagle seemed to have recognized Ji Anni, and did not attack Yan Niang after Ji Anni stopped her.

Ji Anni was afraid that Cang Gui couldn't see her, so she waved enthusiastically to the sky and shouted, "I'm here! I'm here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost lowered its head and swooped down towards her. It was so fast, as fast as a bolt of lightning, and Ji Anni was so scared that she held her head and screamed.

She thought the ghost's sharp beak would pierce her head. Just as Ji Anni was hiding, she heard a sharp sound coming from the woods. Ji Anni subconsciously looked up and saw a bamboo arrow flying past her eyes and shooting straight towards the swooping eagle in the air!

After being shot by an arrow, the eagle let out a sharp cry and flew back into the sky.

Cang Gui, are you okay? Ji Anni looked up at the Cang Gui flying overhead, worried about its injuries. But since it can still fly, it should be fine.

Ji Anni turned her gaze to the direction where the bamboo arrow had just flown from. It was the middle of the night, how could a hunter hunt at this time?

"Who is it?" Ji Anni let out a low shout and stared at the dark woods in front of her with hostility.

There were a few rustling sounds in the woods, as if footsteps were coming towards him.

After a while, a tall man appeared in front of Ji Anni.

When the moonlight illuminated the man's face, Ji Annie was shocked to find that the man was actually Long Mohan.

Long Mohan was still holding a bow and arrow in his hand, so it seemed that he was the one who shot the arrow just now.

Ji Anni has been practicing archery since she was a child, so she can tell the strength of her opponent at a glance. Judging from the accuracy and strength of the arrow just now, Long Mohan should be a good archer, and his strength is not inferior to hers.

Of course, the most surprising question now is not Long Mohan’s archery skills, but why Long Mohan appeared here.

Ji Anni cried out in surprise: "Your Majesty? Weren't you carried away by Lai De? Why are you here?"

As he spoke, he carefully looked at Long Mohan again in the moonlight. That's right, he didn't recognize the wrong person.

Long Mohan was unconscious just now, how come he suddenly recovered now? Ji Anni suspected that she had seen the wrong person, which was not unreasonable. Even for a brief moment, Ji Anni suspected that the Long Mohan in front of her was a monster. Compared with the previous image of a melancholy literary young man, Long Mohan's solemn expression holding the arrow was like a completely different person.

"Are you okay? Are you not hurt?" Long Mohan was indeed here to save Ji Annie. He asked while approaching Ji Annie.
