Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 222 It’s hard for good people

Ji Anni came from another world, so of course she had never heard of Yuan Rong's name. Seeing Shui Furong's serious words, she believed it a little. Then she thought that since even the Queen Mother trusted Yuan Rong so much, he must be a man with extraordinary abilities.

In this case, the spells and demon-killing weapons he gave should not be fake goods...

So Ji Anni looked at the toothpick-like peach wood sword again, but still couldn't see anything special about it.

"Princess Zhao Congfei, it's settled. I'll come to see you at three o'clock tonight." After saying that, Shui Furong picked up the peach wood sword on the table and left.

"Shui Congfei! Shui Congfei!" Ji Anni hurriedly stopped her.

But Shui Furong ran faster than a mouse, and in the blink of an eye, she had rushed to the door.

Unexpectedly, someone came in from outside at this moment. Shui Furong rushed out and bumped into the wall of people.

"Ouch!" Then the screams of a female duet were heard.

Ji Anni looked up, recognized the person, and called out, "Yizhen?"

Yizhen was knocked by Shui Furong and almost fell down. After hearing Ji Anni's shout, she responded weakly: "Xiao Zhao..."

"Get out of the way." Shui Furong pushed Yizhen away rudely and rushed out.

Ji Anni, who had just reacted, hurriedly shouted, "Yizhen, stop her quickly."

But how could Yizhen dare to do anything to Shui Furong? After being pushed by Shui Furong, she meekly moved to the door.

Shui Furong was afraid that Ji Anni would reject her, so she ran away like an arrow. Ji Anni wanted to stop her but couldn't, and watched Shui Furong escape right under her nose.

Oh, forget it... Ji Anni simply gave up. Since Shui Furong was so tough, she had no right to refuse.

"Yizhen, are you okay?" Ji Anni was worried that Yizhen was hurt by Shui Furong.

The palm that Shui Furong used to push Yizhen just now was like the overwhelming move of Guo Furong in Tongfu Inn, and the posture was very scary.

Yizhen shook her head and said, "It's okay, she didn't push hard. But Xiaozhao, why did you ask me to stop her?"

"Uh, this..." If I explain it truthfully, wouldn't the matter of the Demon-Suppressing Temple be exposed?

Seeing Ji Anni hesitating, Yizhen lowered her head sadly and said softly, "Forget it..."

I always feel that there is something between Ji Anni and Shui Furong that they are hiding from me. What is it that I cannot know?

Yizhen glanced and saw Ji Anni hurriedly hiding something behind her. It was just a brief moment, so she couldn't see it clearly, but she vaguely felt that it looked like a red sachet.

Ji Anni smiled awkwardly but didn't explain, fearing that the more she explained, the worse it would be. She hated herself for being guilty and afraid that Yizhen would ask questions after seeing the brocade bag. Unfortunately, she didn't hide the brocade bag quickly enough and was still seen.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Ji Anni laughed dryly and asked Yizhen, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yizhen said softly, "I want to talk to you."

Yizhen used to come over often, so her answer was nothing strange, the only thing that was strange was the sad look in her eyes.

"Please sit down, sit down." Ji Anni, like a wooden man, slowly pulled out a chair for Yizhen.

The appearance of Shui Furong pricked a thorn in Yizhen's heart, causing a secret to arise between Ji Anni and Yizhen, who were once close friends.

"Xiao Zhao, why did Concubine Shui come to see you?" It seemed that Yizhen still cared about this question and asked it again as soon as she sat down.

Ji Anni was speechless. She didn't want to answer, but she was afraid that her silence would make Yizhen guess. So she simply summed it up with one sentence: "She wants to ask me for help with something." Fearing that Yizhen would ask more, she quickly changed the subject, "Yizhen, you should make more friends."

Ji Anni could see that Yizhen was sad because she was afraid that Shui Furong would take her away.

"Yizhen, it's true that Concubine Shui Cong is tyrannical, but she is not a bad person. She felt very regretful after snatching your maid. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you to each other again." Ji Anni really wanted to be a good person and bring Yizhen and Shui Furong together.

Yizhen was too aloof. In the entire Dong Congfei Palace, she seemed to have never spoken to anyone else except herself.

Shui Furong is a powerful figure like the "dormitory head" of the Dong Congfei Palace. If Yizhen and Shui Furong can become friends, then no one will dare to bully Yizhen in the future. Maybe Yizhen will gradually become more cheerful.

Yizhen was very afraid of Shui Furong. When she heard Ji Anni say that she wanted to introduce them to each other again, she was so scared that she immediately shook her head and refused repeatedly, "Xiao Zhao, you must not do that. Shui Congfei hates me very much. I...I don't want to be despised by her anymore."

It seems that what Shui Furong did after entering the palace has already left a deep shadow in Yizhen's heart.

It is almost an impossible task to get them to put aside their past grudges and reconcile.

"Xiao Zhao, I only like you... You're enough for me as a friend..." Yizhen gently held Ji Anni's hand.

She was like a puppy who was afraid of being abandoned by her owner, and was trying to gain her owner's sympathy with her pitiful eyes.

"Yizhen..." Ji Anni stared at her intently, unable to speak.

When he suddenly heard the confession of love, he was not happy at all. Instead, he became more worried about Yizhen.

This is not a solution. Why is Yizhen so stubborn? She actually believes that she is the only one...

After sending Yizhen away, Ji Anni decided to find Shui Furong to make things clear. But Shui Furong was not in the room at all. Ji Anni did not see Shui Furong for the whole day. Maybe Shui Furong was afraid that Ji Anni would refuse, so she hid on purpose.

It was late at night and Ji Anni had already gone to bed. When she was half asleep, she suddenly heard a faint voice coming from outside the door: "Zhao... Concubine... Zhao... Concubine..."

The sound was long and mournful, like the Black and White Impermanence summoning souls...

Ji Anni knew that Shui Furong would come to see her at night, so she didn't sleep well. When she heard the shout, she woke up immediately.

She just turned over in bed and deliberately ignored Shui Furong.

Shui Furong was the one who made her hide from him for a whole day, so he made her stand outside the door anxiously to show his protest.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ghost screaming outside the door stopped, and was replaced by a strange "cracking" sound.

Could it be that Shui Furong is trying to pry open the door?

Ji Anni sat up from the bed and stared at the door bolt. She saw that it was indeed shaking slightly.

It seems that Shui Furong will not let me go tonight... Ji Anni faced the reality and sighed helplessly.

Exploring the Demon Temple at night is already a serious crime, and Ji Anni doesn't want to add the additional charge of destroying public property.

Before Shui Furong broke in, Ji Anni obediently opened the door for her.

"Shui Congfei, please let me go..." Ji Anni lowered her voice and stretched her face.

Shui Furong acted like a deaf person. She grabbed Ji Anni's hand and dragged her out, saying, "Concubine Zhao, there is no time to lose. We should go as soon as possible. By the way, did you take the brocade bag with you?" She was afraid that Ji Anni would forget it in her hurry.

Ji Anni was already prepared. She pointed to her waist and saw the brocade bag hanging there intact.

Seeing this, Shui Furong laughed happily, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Concubine Zhao Cong, I knew you were loyal enough."

Although the door was opened a little late just now, Shui Furong was actually already prepared to set off, which made her feel very relieved.

Ji Anni held Shui Furong and said, "You can ask me to go to the Demon Temple with you, but you must agree to one condition of mine."

"Let's talk while we walk." Shui Furong pulled Ji Anni out eagerly.

"You have to agree first, then I'll go with you." Ji Anni is not someone who can be fooled easily. Before getting on board, she has to make the price clear.

Shui Furong couldn't pull her, so she had to stop and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, go ahead."

Ji Anni asked straight to the point: "Can you apologize to Yizhen?"

"What?" Shui Furong had grown up and still didn't know how to write the word "apology". How could she live in the palace in the future if she was asked to apologize to the cowardly and humble Yizhen? Besides, she didn't think she was wrong enough to need to apologize.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Ji Anni pretended to close the door and threatened: "In that case, you can go alone tonight."

"Don't be so heartless, Concubine Zhao Cong, let's discuss it again..." Concubine Shui Cong was afraid that Ji Anni would abandon her, so she immediately put on a flattering smile, hugged Ji Anni's arm tightly, and refused to let her go.
