Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 485 Make mistakes

It was raining heavily, so why would a guard come to patrol the orchard? And just now, the guard's movements were like he was looking for something. The knife in the guard's hand was shining in the dark night and heavy rain. Yizhen was so scared that her legs could not help but go weak, but she still ran forward desperately to save her life.

As she ran, her target became more obvious. The guard saw her on the porch at a glance and quickly chased after her through puddles. He ran much faster than Yizhen. When he rushed into the porch, he was only two or three steps away from Yizhen. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yizhen's clothes.

"Ah ...

The guard recognized Yizhen and whispered, "Empress." Yizhen subconsciously covered her face with her arms, not wanting to be recognized by the other party.

The guard hesitated for a moment and sheathed the knife. Yizhen just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had saved her life, but she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. It turned out that the guard had hit her with a knife. If it was a master, Yizhen would have fainted long ago. But the guard seemed to be a rookie. Although he had great strength, he did not hurt her vital parts. Yizhen only felt a sharp pain, but she was still conscious and struggled desperately.

"Stop! You dare to kill me, aren't you afraid of losing your life?" Yizhen, who was about to die, had no choice but to use her power to intimidate the other party. Although she didn't see the face of the guard, she always had a feeling that the other party was not a dangerous person. Moreover, the other party put away the knife just now, probably not wanting to cause a death. If she pretended to be more fierce, maybe she could scare him.

"My lady, I won't kill you. I'll just knock you out." After saying that, the guard raised his right hand high in a knife-like gesture, and Yizhen's neck was about to be hit hard again. Yizhen struggled even harder under him, almost crawling forward. During the struggle, Yizhen's coat suddenly slipped off. Yizhen was soaked all over just now, so she took off her underwear and wrung out the water, leaving only her coat on. The coat slipped off, exposing a large area of ​​skin on her shoulders and back.

Although Yizhen is not a stunning beauty, she is still in her prime, and her naked body is still full of temptation. The guard was stunned, and forgot to put down his raised hand knife, staring blankly at Yizhen's smooth milky white skin in the night. Feeling that the guard's strength was weaker than before, Yizhen hurriedly escaped from under him. But her legs were really weak, and she couldn't stand up for a long time. She could only half-lying on the ground and gasping for breath. She hurriedly pulled her clothes, but the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. She just covered her back, but her breasts in front were exposed again.

Yizhen screamed again, trembling and shrinking against the wall, hugging herself tightly. She knew she couldn't escape, and could only leave it to fate. Strangely enough, the guard didn't rush over to catch her again, but squatted there, staring at her intently. After waiting for a long time, the guard didn't make any move. Yizhen, who was shrinking in the corner, finally stopped trembling and looked up at him timidly. Although his straight eyes were scary, they were not lustful or malicious, but a blank and empty look as if he had been tempted by something and had temporarily lost his mind.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Yizhen asked bravely.

The guard finally came to his senses, his eyes finally focused. He held his head tightly with both hands, and roared in pain, as if he was poisoned. "I... I..." His trembling lips squeezed out a few words intermittently. He seemed to be trying desperately to hold back his words, but his mouth made uncontrollable sounds.

Yizhen then realized that he was not poisoned, but possessed by evil spirits. The marble slab behind him showed Yizhen's miserable appearance. In the dim light, he could hardly see anything, except for two red lights that stood out in the darkness - those were Yizhen's eyes. He almost forgot that he was no longer a pure human being. Yizhen felt both painful and a little relieved. It turned out that the power of black water was so strong that one could be possessed by evil spirits just by looking at it.

Yizhen slowly loosened her hands that were holding onto her front, and her fair skin was immediately exposed to the guard. Although her figure was not voluptuous and attractive, it exuded a youthful allure. The guard only took one look and his head hurt even more, and he almost rolled on the ground. Seeing that the other party had lost his fighting power, Yizhen gradually grew bolder, crawled forward to the guard, stared into his eyes and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The moment their eyes met, Yizhen clearly felt that she was being manipulated. The guard's lips trembled a few times, and he finally confessed his identity: "My name is Lai De, and I came here for... for..." He didn't say the rest of the words. Perhaps because Yizhen's demonic power was not strong enough, the guard could overcome it with his remaining willpower.

Seeing that she was about to succeed, Yizhen was not willing to give up easily. She held Lai De's head and forced him to look into her shining eyes, and then said, "As long as you tell me the truth, I... I will kiss you." Yizhen clumsily seduced Lai De, wanting to use this to verify how strong her power was.

Lai De yelled "Wow!" and pushed Yizhen away with all his strength, getting up from the ground as fast as he could. His next move was probably to run back into the heavy rain, but at this moment, something fell from Yizhen's body and landed on the ground with a crisp sound - this thing was the ghost face jade that Yizhen had just dug out from the corpse pit.

After seeing the jade, Lai De suddenly stopped running, and his headache was gone, and he gradually returned to normal. He picked up the ghost-faced jade from the ground, held it in his hand and looked at it over and over for a long time. Yi Zhen lay on the ground motionless, watching Lai De's every move. Lai De seemed to be very sober, so sober that she doubted whether he really had magic. While Lai De was absorbed in studying the ghost-faced jade, Yi Zhen slowly stood up against the wall.

Lai De's eyes were fixed on Yu, without even looking at Yizhen. Yizhen thought he had forgotten about her, so she took a deep breath and tried to escape with all her strength. But just as she took half a step, Lai De grabbed her wrist. "Help! Let me go!" Yizhen struggled like crazy. Lai De had to use all his strength to control her. "My queen, don't be afraid, listen to me... listen to me."

Lai De's tone was different from before, as if he was no longer hostile. Yizhen, who had already been frightened, struggled for a long time, and after using up all her strength, she fell limply into Lai De's arms, unable to move. Lai De helped her sit against the wall. If Yizhen was not dazzled, she seemed to see excitement and joy on Lai De's face. Before Yizhen could think about what Lai De was so happy about, Lai De suddenly began to untie his belt.

"Ah--" Yizhen screamed again, hugged her chest tightly, huddled against the wall, and trembled while saying, "You, what are you doing..." A man unbuttoning his belt in front of a half-naked woman would make anyone think of something obscene. At this time, Lai De finally realized his recklessness and explained in a panic, "My lady, don't misunderstand me, I just want to show you something."

At this time, he had already pulled out his belt and was desperately trying to pull out a piece of something sewn on the back of the belt. Yizhen looked closely and saw that the thing was about the size of half a quail egg, small and round, and seemed to be... a piece of jade? At this time, Lai De had already pulled the thing out of his trouser pocket and held it in front of Yizhen, saying excitedly: "Look, my queen, I am the same as you, both of us were sent into the palace as spies by the mountain ghost tribe!"

"What?" Yizhen suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at Lai De's face.

"My queen, please look quickly." Lai De saw that Yizhen was only looking at him and not the jade, so he anxiously stuffed the jade into Yizhen's hand.

Yizhen's attention was drawn to the jade. A closer look revealed that it was also a piece of ghost-faced jade with green face and fangs. Not only the pattern, but also the texture and size of the jade were exactly the same as the one she had found in the corpse pit just now. It was obviously a token used by the same group of people to identify each other. So Concubine Hui and her lover were really spies sent into the palace by the mountain ghost tribe? Yizhen was so surprised that her mind went blank.

"That's great, Madam, I won't have to hurt you this way." Lai De took the jade back, tied his belt, and stuffed the jade into his belt. He had completely treated Yizhen as his own, and said without hesitation: "I knew there were spies from our mountain ghost tribe in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be you, Madam. Today was the first time I met a companion, and I almost mistook you for an ordinary person and knocked you out..."

Lai De then told Yi Zhen the reason why he was here. In fact, this orchard was where the mountain ghost clan spies of all generations passed news from the palace to the outside. Every ten days, the orchard would throw the fallen fruits to the mountain outside the palace. The spies took advantage of this opportunity to stuff the secret note into the hollowed-out fruit. The secret note had a special smell, and trained monkeys could find the fruit from the garbage dump and deliver it to the owner. This method has been used for nearly a hundred years and has never been discovered. If Lai De hadn't told it himself, Yi Zhen would never have thought that the mountain ghost clan passed on news in this way.

"It has rained heavily recently, and most of the fruits on the ground have been soaked and spoiled. They can't be used to send messages." Lai De sighed. Just now he was walking and stopping, as if he was looking for something. It turned out that he was looking for props to send messages.

Yizhen gradually calmed down. The Mountain Ghost Clan's long-standing wish was to drive the royal family out of the sacred mountain, but Concubine Hui wanted her child to be the emperor and continue to live in the palace, which violated the mission of the Mountain Ghost Clan. Perhaps her lover had an argument with her because of this matter. At this point, only a fool would explain that he was not a spy. It is better to make the best of a bad situation. It is better to have one more person trust you than one more person hostile to you.

Yizhen followed Lai De's words and said, "Like you, I also want to send a letter. The palace is about to hold a ceremony to summon the Ghost King..."

This is the biggest thing in the palace recently, and this should be the news that Lai De wants to spread.

Lai De nodded and said, "Yes, and Consort Zhao has been released."

"What?" Yizhen looked up suddenly, not believing that anyone would dare to release that fox demon.

"Don't you know? She has already returned to the Dong Congfei Palace..."
