Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 449 The handle is in hand

How could she know?! Shui Furong was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Sister, you can't hide it anymore. I know everything." Concubine An's expression was very firm. It was hard to tell whether she was just asking questions or really had solid evidence.

Shui Furong's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and her eyes subconsciously shifted away, not daring to look Concubine An in the face.

His guilty conscience made Concubine An more certain of the answer in her mind, and she continued, "Sister, why do you dare to tell such a big lie? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Since you know everything, why don't you just expose me in front of the emperor?" If you stick your head out, you'll get hurt. The straightforward Shui Furong simply stopped hiding and frankly admitted that the scam had been exposed. Anyway, the emperor was one of the masterminds of pretending to be pregnant. Even if there was an accident, he had the emperor's support, so there was no need to be afraid.

However, Concubine An had no intention of informing on the secret. If her purpose was to inform on the secret, she would not have come to the West Palace on purpose.

"Sister, since you can't give birth to the baby in your belly, you must find a way to make the baby disappear before it is born..." Concubine An's voice became lower and lower, and a bit of evil message came out, "Have you already planned to fake a miscarriage?"

Shui Furong's thoughts were revealed. She gradually lost her temper and grabbed Concubine An's wrist, asking, "What do you want to do? Are you up to something bad again?"

Concubine An smiled and said, "I don't dare to have any bad ideas. I just want to give my sister a suggestion."

"I don't want to listen." Shui Furong interrupted her capriciously, because she felt that after listening to Concubine An's opinions, she would have to be led by the nose by her and fall into the dilemma of being at her mercy.

Ignoring Shui Furong's resistance, Concubine An said to herself, "Sister, have you noticed that the emperor has been very close to the little Concubine Cong from Nanhu County recently? He dotes on her, and they stay in the same room and go out together, as if they were his best friend in this life... Even Zhao Ji didn't enjoy such favor before, how could she be so worthy?"

Having said this, she had already clenched her teeth, and from her stiff tone, one could hear her jealousy and hatred towards Yizhen.

Shui Furong was a little afraid of such a crazy woman, and subconsciously loosened her hand that was strangling Concubine An's wrist and kept a certain distance from her.

Since she could tell Yizhen's birthplace right away, she must have sent people to find out Yizhen's background and was planning how to drive Yizhen away from Long Mohan.

"Sister, the baby in your belly wouldn't disappear for no reason. You must have a convincing explanation."

"Have you already thought about it for me?" Shui Furong sneered, having already seen through Concubine An's plan.

Concubine An moved closer and whispered in Shui Furong's ear, "In order to convince people, there must be a sinner."

Although her voice was soft, there was an irresistible threat in her tone.

Shui Furong understood everything and continued, "You want Yizhen to be the sinner?"

Hearing this, Concubine An nodded, her face seemed to be shrouded in darkness, gray and terrifying.

Shui Furong did not respond. The fact that Concubine An dared to speak to her without any scruples proved that she had something on her and was sure that she would not reject her, so she dared to speak so directly.

As expected, when Concubine An saw that Shui Furong was very hesitant, she said, "Sister, I know you came to the palace to find out the cause of your sister's death. I can tell you how your sister died, but I only ask you to join hands with me to eradicate this scourge of Yizhen."

"I won't harm anyone just for the truth. Because my sister was also killed by someone. If I use such means to find out the truth of three years ago, her spirit in heaven will never forgive me." Shui Furong had a clear mind and was not easily controlled by Concubine An. She rejected Concubine An's instigation without hesitation.

Concubine An was unwilling to give up and continued, "Because your sister was pregnant with a dragon seed, my aunt held a grudge against her and ordered her maid Yan Niang to use a magic spell to kill your sister. The reason why this case remains unsolved is because the murderer is a demon and cannot be caught."

"What?" Shui Furong was startled and suddenly remembered the strange curse mark she found on her sister's pillow before.

Yun Zhen said that it was called the "Soul-stealing Curse", which could take a person's life. It was a spell that could separate the human body from the soul.

Use the Soul-stealing Spell to leave a soul-stealing mark, but the soul-stealing mark will only appear after the soul leaves the body and the physical body dies.

The deeper the hatred, the darker the color of the curse.

The fact that Shui Furong was able to discover the Soul Seal three years later proves that Shui Congfei's resentment has not subsided, and her resentful spirit has not been reincarnated, and is still wandering in the human world...

Thinking of this, Shui Furong couldn't help but believe Concubine An a little more.

But he did not show it. Instead, he watched Concubine An's every move vigilantly to see what her plans were.

Even if my sister really died at the hands of the monster Yan Niang, why did Concubine An solve the mystery so easily?

Thinking of this, Shui Furong calmed down a little, regained her normal expression, and asked, "The Queen Mother and Yan Niang are no longer alive. There is no evidence. You can say whatever you want. Why should I believe you? What evidence do you have?"

Concubine An laughed sinisterly and said contemptuously, "Sister, you may not believe me... but do you believe your sister?"

"Sister?" Shui Furong looked surprised. "She has been dead for many years. Can she still tell me the truth in person?"

Concubine An's smile became even colder. "Why not? Of course you can."

"It's nonsense! Don't make lies here and mislead the public!" Shui Furong couldn't help getting angry and her voice became stern. She would never allow Concubine An to make fun of his sister.

"Sister, don't be angry. I'm telling the truth. Your sister is not dead. She was just separated from her body by the Dementia Curse. You thought she was dead, but she wasn't. Only her body died, and her soul is still alive..." Having said this, he leaned close to Shui Furong's ear and exhaled softly, "Your sister has been alive. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you."

The cold air hit her ears, and Shui Furong couldn't help but shivered. She asked, "How are you going to prove it to me?"

He didn't believe that Concubine An could summon his sister's soul. Concubine An was not some great Taoist master, so how could she have such ability? But now Concubine An looked confident, and he didn't know if she was really sure or just bluffing.

Concubine An gently grabbed Shui Furong's hand and motioned for him to calm down. "Your sister came to see me and hoped that I could help her."

"Impossible!" Shui Furong pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted, and was so excited that she almost couldn't breathe.

My sister went to see Concubine An? Why did she go to see Concubine An? If she needed help, why didn't she choose me as her helper? Obviously I am the most reliable person!

"You must not know what happened to her after she was hit by the soul-stealing curse?" Concubine An stared at Shui Furong's gradually pale face without blinking, knowing that he was already under her control.

"Have you seen my sister? Did she tell you the cause of death and the real murderer three years ago? And asked you to tell me? If that's the case, why didn't she tell me everything herself? If she was in the palace, why didn't she show up earlier!" Shui Furong's voice was very hurried because of excitement. He was eager to know the truth, but he definitely didn't want to know it in this situation, as if he was being led by the nose and stepped into a fire pit.

"The reason why she didn't show up is not because she didn't want to see you, but because she is not free..."

Concubine An slowly told everything she knew.

Three years ago, Shui Congfei was killed in her sleep by a fox demon Yan Niang who sneaked into her room and cast a "soul-stealing spell" on her.

But the soul-stealing curse only dies the body of the person, while the soul still floats in the palace. The resentful Concubine Shui Cong refused to leave the palace, and she looked for a new body everywhere. Later, she chose Baoer, who had been weak since childhood. She entered Baoer's body and shouted her grievances to the world through Baoer's mouth. However, she was eventually driven away by Yun Zhen.

The severely injured Concubine Shui Cong did not want to be driven to death by Yun Zhen, so she had to leave the palace. However, she still had resentment in her heart and did not want to be reincarnated. She had been lingering in the human world, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. As time passed, the resentment of Concubine Shui Cong, who had no way to take revenge, became deeper and stronger, and finally reached a level that could be sensed by Taoist Yuan Rong and aroused his interest.

Yuan Rong was attracted by her powerful demonic power and took the initiative to find her and persuade her to surrender to him.

She told Yuan Rong all her grievances, and Yuan Rong agreed to help her get revenge as long as she gave her name and became a shikigami.

Shui Congfei, who was left with no other options, had to follow Yuan Rong's advice and gave up her name as a vengeful spirit - Xiwei.

Xiwei became one of Yuanrong's Shikigami. Even though Yuanrong had fallen into the path of evil, she was still used by Yuanrong and could not escape.

This is why she cannot see Shui Furong - she must obey Yuan Rong.

"In other words, it was Yuan Rong who asked her to find you and tell you the truth three years ago so that you could threaten me?" Shui Furong finally figured it out and shook her head in disbelief. How could her sister, who loved her so much, suddenly team up with the demon to plot against her? Although she knew that this was not her sister's intention, her heart could not help but ache.

Is a sister like this still a sister?

Can I really trust my sister who has been controlled by Yuan Rong and is no different from a monster?

Knowing that my sister is still alive, I didn't feel happy at all. I was filled with heavy shadows that seemed to swallow me up.

Shui Furong took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "So what else did she say?"

It must not just be something that happened three years ago. My sister must have told Concubine An some secret.

Concubine An showed an unfathomable smile and whispered: "She also said..."

She deliberately dragged out the last word to make Shui Furong even more impatient. It was not until Shui Furong glared at her angrily that she sneered and said, "She also said...you are not a girl, but a - a real man."
