Chapter 406 Self-defeating
"I heard the sound just now, too. It was knocking on my window." Prince Ming hid in Yizhen's arms. Gradually he became less afraid and his voice stopped trembling.
"It's okay, it's okay, there is a magic weapon in this room to protect us..." Yizhen looked up and glanced at the magic weapon hanging on the back window. At this time, the magic weapon was emitting a faint glow, as if it was resisting the monsters outside the house, which made people feel at ease.
"Will the monster eat us?" Prince Ming was attacked several times. Although he managed to survive, the shadow left in his heart could not be erased.
"No, I definitely won't..." Yizhen was afraid, but she had to pretend to be brave. In fact, she didn't know if she would be eaten by the monster, but she must not increase Prince Ming's anxiety. Yizhen, who was originally dissatisfied with Prince Ming, has now thrown all those dark thoughts behind her. In the face of the monster's threat, they are the only ones left, and their hearts are gradually getting closer.
Yizhen was so anxious when she rushed into the room that she forgot to close the door.
The cold wind rushed in from the door, making Yizhen and Prince Ming shiver.
There was a patch of grass facing the door, and the pair of golden eyes in the grass were shining in the darkness, which was terrifying.
When the two golden lights saw Yizhen running into the room, they took two steps forward, but were unable to take even a single step inside the room. They just stared at Yizhen and Prince Ming, who were huddled on the bed and shivering, from outside the threshold.
At this time, the faint moonlight fell on the owner of the demon pupil.
Prince Ming, who had better eyesight, immediately saw the true face of the monster and trembled while shouting, "Fox... It's a fox..."
Prince Ming's vision in the dark is several times better than Yizhen's because he himself is also a fox demon. If he knew that he and the fox demon outside the house were of the same species, I wonder if he would still be as scared as he is now.
Yizhen took a deep breath and told herself not to be afraid. She mustered up her courage and looked in the direction of the fox demon outside the house, and found that the fox demon's eyes seemed to be lingering on the magic weapon hanging on the window, as if it was hesitant.
"This magic weapon seems to be very powerful..." Yizhen looked up at the magic weapon with the Bagua pattern on the window to ward off evil spirits. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she jumped off the bed, rushed to the window, took down the Bagua and held it tightly in her arms.
"Concubine Su Congfei! Concubine Su Congfei!" When Prince Ming saw Yizhen suddenly running away, he hurriedly chased after her and hugged Yizhen's legs.
After Yizhen took down the magic weapon, she squatted down, held Prince Ming in her arms, and used the Bagua as a shield to block the two of them. The Bagua emitted a faint fluorescence in the dark night, which dispelled the fear in their hearts.
After seeing the Bagua being taken down, the fox demon outside the room stepped back vigilantly, not daring to approach.
"Don't worry, Prince. The monster is afraid of the magic weapon in our hands. As long as we hold the magic weapon, it won't dare to get close." Yizhen's voice finally stopped shaking and she regained some composure. She held the magic weapon tightly in one hand and Prince Ming tightly in the other. She curled up and squatted under the window sill, not daring to move an inch.
Hearing Yizhen's certainty, Prince Ming couldn't help but believe it a little. He looked back at the fox demon cautiously and found that the fox demon had already run a few steps away. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally fell back to its original place.
"Concubine Su Congfei, then...what should we do now?" Prince Ming's little face wrinkled anxiously.
I can't stand against the fox demon like this for a whole night, right? Even if I'm not scared to death or nervous to death, I'll be frozen to death by the cold wind...
"Don't worry, Your Highness. It...it can't get close and will leave on its own in a while..." Yizhen tried her best to think positively.
"Wuwu..." Prince Ming buried his face in Yizhen's arms, sobbing. At this time, he had completely forgotten his hatred for Yizhen and only regarded Yizhen as his only lifeline. Apart from Yizhen, no one else could protect him.
"Prince, although Yizhen is an ordinary person who doesn't know magic or Taoism, but Prince...when you are afraid, Yizhen will definitely stay by your side, even if she has no power, she will protect you..." Yizhen hugged Prince Ming tighter. She was not a bad person by nature. Seeing Prince Ming's eyes filled with tears due to fear, she couldn't help but feel pity and said these words naturally.
Prince Ming was moved by Yizhen's words and felt very regretful for what he had done before.
"Concubine Su Congfei, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Prince Ming finally apologized to Yizhen.
At this moment, the pair of golden eyes outside the room gradually dimmed and disappeared...
"Prince, that fox demon... seems to have left..." Yizhen's eyesight was not as good as Prince Ming's, so she couldn't see clearly.
"Gone, gone..." Prince Ming widened his eyes and stared at the back of the fox demon as it turned around and left without blinking.
Until the fox demon disappeared, Prince Ming kept staring in that direction, as if he had forgotten how to look away.
In fact, the fox demon was Yan Niang, who had no intention of harming Prince Ming. Her sudden appearance was to scare Yizhen by giving her a taste of her own medicine, but she ended up helping Yizhen and gaining Prince Ming's trust.
Forget it, I'm really boring...
Yan Niang walked slowly in the grass, feeling a little depressed.
Yuan Rong has been entrenched in the palace recently, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. We must remain vigilant at all times to ensure safety. Tonight, the injured Zhao Ji is recuperating in the Xianke Pavilion. With Yun Zhen guarding her, Yuan Rong will definitely not dare to show up. However, Prince Ming, who is left alone in Wenhua Courtyard, is in some danger. Yan Niang came to protect Prince Ming with good intentions, but who knows that she makes Prince Ming even more afraid.
She returned to the princess's mansion in the form of a fox and walked along the corridor unnoticed.
As she walked, her steps gradually slowed down, and a strange smell came from the air - it was the smell of a man.
After sniffing it carefully, I found that it was Kang Xiaorong's scent.
Why would Kang Xiaorong come to the princess's mansion so late?
On the day when the wedding was sabotaged by the Anti-Imperialist Society, Yanniang replaced Princess Tianning and became a fake princess. In order to avoid exposing her identity, she rarely got close to Kang Xiaorong. Kang Xiaorong subconsciously rejected Tianning and never came to the princess's mansion again.
But today, why did he come...
It was already late at night, why didn't he leave yet?
Ever since Yuan Rong escaped from prison, Yan Niang, who was worried about the safety of Zhao Ji and Prince Ming, spent most of the day guarding them in the form of a fox, so she didn't know when Kang Xiaorong came to the princess's mansion.
She followed the smell and quietly came to the reception room where Kang Xiaorong was.
She hid outside the door and just happened to hear Yuemao persuading Kang Xiaorong to go back: "Major General, it's already midnight, you should go back first. The princess has probably fallen asleep and won't see you..."
In the morning, Yanniang told Yuemao that she was very tired and wanted to rest in her room, and no one was allowed to disturb her. Yuemao guarded the door diligently and did not let Kang Xiaorong in. She and Kang Xiaorong thought that the princess was resting in the room, but they did not know that Yanniang had already slipped out and came back now.
Kang Xiaorong glanced at Yuemao and said coldly, "How could she sleep? I must see her today."
"Young General, please don't embarrass me. I have knocked on the door for you several times, but there is no sound from inside..."
"How am I embarrassing you? If it weren't for your sake, I would have barged in a long time ago and wouldn't have waited until now."
Kang Xiaorong's tone was full of anger, and he didn't know who had angered him.
Yanniang, who was hiding outside the door, was somewhat puzzled. Kang Xiaorong would not come to visit for no reason. Today, he suddenly visited. Something must have happened. How could she know that Kang Xiaorong had already found the real Princess Tianning. Today, he came to the Princess's Mansion to find out the truth about the fake Princess. Kang Xiaorong wanted to find out the details of the Princess quietly, but the Princess refused to see him. He had been waiting here for a whole day. The longer he waited, the angrier he became. He had already lost his usual calmness and just wanted to catch the Princess to find out the truth.
"Major General, why don't you go back tonight and come back tomorrow?" Yuemao saw Kang Xiaorong's sullen face and was very worried. She couldn't help asking, "Major General, what happened? Why are you so anxious to see the princess?"
Kang Xiaorong said nothing, just sat firmly in his original position, looking straight ahead with an indifferent expression, as if he had not heard Yuemao's words.
"Major General..."
Yuemao had just called out three words when Kang Xiaorong suddenly raised his hand, signaling Yuemao not to ask any more questions.
"Yuemao, I can't tell you what happened now, but... for your safety, you'd better stay away from the princess..." Kang Xiaorong lowered his voice, and the cold eyes made the atmosphere even more tense.
"What happened?" Yuemao became more and more worried.
"No, we can't wait any longer, there must be something fishy going on." Kang Xiaorong stood up suddenly, and rushed out the door regardless of Yuemao's attempts to stop him. The fake princess refused to meet him, so she must be hiding something. If he waited any longer, it would only give the fake princess more time to do bad things.
When Yan Niang saw Kang Xiaorong suddenly stand up, she hurried to the dormitory and returned to the room before Kang Xiaorong rushed to the door.
She quickly changed into human form and had just laid down on the bed when she heard Kang Xiaorong knocking on the door impatiently.
"Young General, stop knocking, stop knocking...the princess is resting..." Yuemao knew Tianning's temper best. If she was woken up from her dream, she would inevitably lose her temper again, even if the other party was the prince consort Kang Xiaorong.
"What rest? I've been waiting for her for a whole day. Isn't it enough that she slept for a day? I see... she is not in the room at all!" Kang Xiaorong, who has already determined that the fake Tianning is related to the monster, no longer cares about etiquette and just wants to break into the room.
At this moment, Tian Ning's voice suddenly came from the room: "What are you arguing about? You're making it impossible for me to sleep!"
Judging from the voice, it was indeed the voice of Princess Tianning. But the monster could even disguise itself as the princess, not to mention the voice. Thinking of the real princess being insulted outside, while the fake princess was bullying the palace, Kang Xiaorong's chest was burning with anger, and he said sarcastically: "Princess, you have rested for a whole day, haven't you gotten rid of your fatigue? There has been an evil spirit in the palace recently. The princess is probably not tired, but possessed by evil spirits, right?"
