Chapter Eighty-Three: The Demon Fox Appears and Escapes
She came to the back garden, just as Sister Ziyan and Zimo were sitting on a stone bench and laughing.
"Sister!" Xue Ning missed her sister for a few days, and when she saw Sister Ziyan from afar, she shouted in surprise and ran over.
"Sister!" Ziyan heard Xue Ning's call, and hurriedly stood up and ran towards the little sister, and the two sisters hugged each other in an instant, full of happiness.
Ziyan looked at Xue Ning lovingly, her eyes were full of love, "Sister, you have lost weight, I think the days in the palace are not suitable for you, don't worry, when we pass this time, my sister will try to take you out of this palace and go to the forest to live a happy life." ”
Xue Ning heard Ziyan say this, nodded busily, and promised again and again, "Sister, I want to go out in my dreams, I don't want to survive in this place with strict rules and intrigue, and when the little brother celebrates his birthday, we will take Zimo and leave here quietly to find the place where my father gave us to learn art." That wild wolf demon, has escaped, in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch, at present, we are small and weak, low spiritual power, not the opponent of the wild wolf demon at all, so if we want to kill the enemy, we must go to learn from the teacher, improve ourselves, only in this way, can we let the enemy who is stained with the blood of our family die under our sword, so that our relatives who died in vain under the nine springs can be blind. ”
Zimo stood beside the two sisters, looked at the two sisters sympathetically, and agreed with the plan of the two very much, but thinking of the third elder brother who was inseparable from him, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
"Sister Ziyan, Sister Xue Ning, I agree with the decision of the two of you to leave this place, but I want to say goodbye to my friends in a hurry, I really can't bear it, the third elder brother has a life-saving grace for us, and helps us in danger again and again, we can't just leave and don't tell him anything." Zimo said a little worriedly.
Zi Mo's words reminded Xue Ning, thinking back to the days she had been in the palace, if it weren't for the third elder brother who took care of her from the side, she would probably have disappeared like the palace maid who died unjustly, and the reason why she was able to be safe and sound, and to survive safe and sound in this cloudy and treacherous palace center was all thanks to the protection and help of the third elder brother.
In addition, for so many days, she also had an indescribable sense of intimacy with the little brother Zijin who got along with her day and night, every time, when she looked at Zijin's eyes that could talk as bright as stars, her heart full of troubles and sorrows would be thrown out of the clouds, such a child who did not know the world looked so delicate and lovely, so innocent, it was really addictive.
The one-year-old Zijin, the whole person, is like a piece of fine jade carved in powder and jade, not stained with the slightest dust, you smile at him, he smiles in return, you speak, although he does not understand yet, but he has learned to listen quietly and attentively, and murmurs twice as if he understands or not.
Looking at Zijin's cute appearance, Xue Ning often wondered if she was such an ignorant and cute naughty appearance when she was a child, and remembered that the demon fox mother said that she was very well-behaved and cute when she was a child, so that when the flowers bloomed, everyone loved her, and the little goblins passing by saw it, and they all seemed to recognize her and be a goddaughter.
The words of the fox demon mother, Xue Ning naturally didn't believe it, but at this moment, when she saw Zijin and got along with Zijin for so long, it made her deeply understand, there is a kind of appearance called amazing, there is a kind of familiarity called innate, she can't tell the way, in her heart, I don't know when, she has been stupid to tell Zijin and herself can't tell the difference, she always feels that she saw her childhood appearance from Zijin, and saw the happiness and sweetness that belonged to her in the past from Zijin's eyes.
She had thought more than once about leaving this terrifying lifeless palace, but she was reluctant to ignore such a lovely and understanding little prince who was infatuated with her. She was even more worried about her ruthless departure, in case one day, there was another accident in the palace, no one rescued him, no one secretly protected him, what kind of accident would happen.
In this seemingly undisturbed palace, she has already secretly investigated, and noticed a trace of the ominous omen of the mountain rain coming to the building, what is going to happen here, she can't tell, but subconsciously, she feels a huge sense of oppression and fear coming to her again.
Xue Ning's feeling was hidden in her heart, and it was inconvenient for her to talk about it to her sister, so when the two sisters met again, they talked about their future plans, about the banquet that night, and about their care and concern.
The night came quietly, and a grand banquet to celebrate the first birthday of Little Brother Zijin was held in the palace.
The emperor personally set up a banquet to entertain hundreds of officials and family members, and the queen mother sat beside the emperor with her young son to accept the congratulations and gifts of the guests.
There were many guests, and everyone made extraordinary shots one by one, and they all presented all kinds of rare gifts to the prince, what is the priceless night pearl, what is difficult to estimate the green jade lion, etc., there are many kinds of gifts, so many that there are countless gifts.
The third elder brother also sat on the banquet with Zi Mo and Ziyan dressed as a manservant, Ziyan Girl and Zimo were both attending such a big human event for the first time, when the two of them saw the delicacies in front of them that could not be seen at a glance, and saw the beautiful and lovely dancers singing and dancing at the banquet, they couldn't help but open their eyes with curiosity.
The third elder brother is low-key, he has never liked to put on music, at this moment, people are in good spirits when they are happy, he just wants to find his best friends around him to share his joy together, so whenever the good wine and food on his table, he thinks about his friends, and the servants give Ziyan and Zimo a copy.
This night, Ziyan and Zimo ate heartily, watched with great interest, and talked and laughed with the third elder brother, but they were angry with one person, this person is Miss Yu'er, in order to take revenge on Miss Ziyan, she made Ziyan ugly in public, so that she could never stay in the palace, so she made a poisonous plan.
She used her spiritual power, and Qiao Zhuang became a servant in the palace, and secretly made a trick and foot in the food that the third elder brother shared with Ziyan Girl and Zimo.
She has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and after taking a goblin, she quickly revealed that her true body was secretly sprinkled on the pastry of the purple smoke girl.
The Purple Smoke Girl patronized the fun and laughed, and did not notice anything unusual about the pastries in front of her for a while, so she ate them into her mouth without any scruples, and when the pastries that were secretly made by Yu'er had just eaten into her stomach, the Purple Smoke Girl couldn't suppress her demonic energy, she had a splitting headache, and her whole body was like an ant bite, and in the pain, she couldn't suppress her demonic nature, and began to change.
Her white six-tailed fox tail spread over the banquet like fireworks in an instant, and in an instant, it frightened everyone.
"There are goblins!" Seeing a fox demon with a fox face and a fox tail suddenly popping out of the banquet, the emperor and the ministers were taken aback, and for a while, the palace was in chaos, and the guests were so frightened that ghosts cried wolves and howled, and fled in all directions.
"Don't panic, everyone, come on, take down this goblin for me!" The emperor shouted in a deep voice with the respect of the Ninety-Five, not afraid of demons and evils.
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the imperial guards rushed out in a swarm, surrounding the purple smoke girl, at this time, the purple smoke, because of the poison in her body, the pain was unbearable, she kept rolling on the ground, making a miserable scream, and Zi Mo, who was guarding next to her, rushed forward desperately when he saw this, and used his body to block the knife and gun that was going to stab the purple smoke girl.
Xue Ning, who was standing far behind the queen and serving the little brother, was shocked to see this scene at this moment, not only was she so frightened that she lost the cup in her hand, but when she saw that her only sister was in trouble, she was about to die in the court in public, in order to save Sister Ziyan's life, she couldn't care much at the moment, and suddenly rushed to the nurse's side, snatched the little brother who was in the nurse's arms, and held it in front of her chest.
She took out a sharp hairpin from her head and put it against the throat of the little brother, threatening everyone, "Stand back, you all retreat, let my sister go, otherwise I will kill the little brother on the spot." ”
Zijin, who was kidnapped in Xue Ning's arms, was not afraid at all at this moment because of his familiarity with Xue Ning, his watery eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him, and his eyes even showed curiosity and amusement.
Seeing that she didn't frighten Zijin, Xue Ning felt a lot more relieved, she apologized apologetically and whispered to Zijin, "I'm sorry, little brother, I also have no choice, I was forced to be helpless, in order to rescue my sister, I can only make this decision." ”
With Xue Ning holding Zijin hostage, those imperial guards did not dare to act rashly, and the emperor and empress were stunned on the spot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zimo hurriedly put Ziyan on his back, jumped up, and said to Xue Ning in the unique language of the demon fox, "Xue Ning, I will take your sister to the old place in the woods on the outskirts to wait for you, and then you will rush there to round with us." ”
After Xue Ning listened, she blinked her smart eyes and shouted, "Hurry up, leave me alone, at the same time, in order to get out safely, she also carried Zijin towards another exit of the palace."
In order to rescue the little brother, there was a mess in the court, and the royal guards who chased after him, in the hoarse reminder of the queen's mother, did not dare to use knives and guns indiscriminately for fear of hurting the little brother, which gave Xue Ning a chance to escape.
It's just that when Xue Ning ran out with the little brother in her arms, she just ran out of the palace gate and saw a fire on the side hall.
The scene that happened in the main hall just now has caused chaos among the guests, and at this moment, there are extraneous branches, and the disaster is not a single line, so that there is a fire in the side hall, this accidental fire, let Xue Ning rejoice in her heart, if it were not for this fire, let countless pursuers divert to fight the fire in the smoke, she is really worried that it will be difficult to escape from the palace with her own strength.
Right now, she was alone, holding the little brother and moving forward quickly, taking advantage of the smoke, she exerted her spiritual power, gently leaped over the palace wall, and ran quickly on the palace wall, when she ran quickly through a few houses, she couldn't hear the sound of the chasing soldiers behind her.
At this moment, she didn't dare to make the slightest delay, so she walked towards the meeting place that Zimo said, the old forest in the suburbs, she knew that when she and Zimo escaped from the jungle at the beginning, Zimo was injured in the leg, she and he stayed in the forest, and there was a river flowing out of the palace near the forest, which was a rare temporary escape place.
Xue Ning ran away with Zijin, how inconvenient, for a moment, she even wanted to turn back, quietly placed the baby in a corner of the harem, waiting to be discovered, but she was worried that when the fire broke out in the palace, the personnel were chaotic, and the bad guys took the opportunity to enter and abduct Zijin.
It's just that no matter how much Xue Ning thought about it, she couldn't have imagined that on this night, because of her unintentional mistakes, Zijin lost the opportunity to stay with her parents forever.
However, the misfortune and fortune relied on, and it was precisely because Xue Ning hijacked Zijin to escape that Zijin was able to save his life in this unexpected disaster.
When Xue Ning rushed to the meeting place with Zi Jin's wind and dust, Zi Mo had already waited here with Sister Ziyan for a long time, and the girl Ziyan at this time, because of taking the antidote herbs given to her by Zi Mo, most of the pain had dissipated, she was much more conscious, and her upper body had returned to the appearance of an adult, but the huge fox tail still couldn't be hidden.
Seeing that Xue Ning's sister was fine, she came in time, she hugged her sister and cried with joy.
"Sister, tonight is really too dangerous, fortunately we can turn evil into good fortune, if it weren't for your resourcefulness and thought of a clever plan to help me escape, sister, I'm afraid I would have been buried in that palace long ago. ”
Xue Ning helped Sister Ziyan wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid, a few of us must have been secretly protected by the fox demon mother and father, so that we could escape from the palace, now, sister, how do you feel?" Xue Ning asked with concern when she saw that Ziyan had not yet recovered safely.
"I'm fine, my sister rest assured, thinking back just now, I'm really afraid, but I don't know who is responsible for this tonight, causing us to suffer this calamity, and the poison must have been secretly put into my food. Ziyan pondered.
Listening to Ziyan's words, Zimo suddenly patted his head, and suddenly realized, "I remember, I seem to have found a figure among the palace maids serving dishes, because I was patronizing to watch the song and dance performance, I didn't think much about it, and in retrospect at this moment, I feel that the figure is very similar to a person." ”
"Who?" asked the two sisters in unison.
"I think that back image is very good for Miss Yu'er, although we don't see each other much, but her figure is extremely graceful, she walks like the wind supporting willows, very light and agile, I think I should be able to recognize her, even if she uses a blindfold to change her appearance. Zimo said affirmatively.
"It's her? It's so strange, our sisters have no grievances with her, why did she design to harm us, if it weren't for Sister Xue Ning's alertness tonight, I'm afraid we would have all met with an accident a long time ago." Ziyan said suspiciously.
"Sister Xue Ning, I'm hungry ......" Everyone was thinking about it, and Zijin, who was standing at Xue Ning's feet and had just been snubbed by everyone, suddenly opened his mouth and called Xue Ning.
Listening to the childish voice, Xue Ning's heart suddenly softened, she touched Zijin's head with pity, and comforted him, "I'm sorry, little brother, you have to suffer with us, but don't worry, wait for my sister to rest for a while, and I will send you back to the palace, and then you will eat whatever you want, and naturally I won't starve you. ”
Xue Ning looked at the poor Zijin, hurriedly took out a piece of pastry wrapped in a roll handkerchief from her pocket, and handed it to Zijin to eat.
Zijin Xu was hungry, took the pastry, filled it into his mouth, and ate it in three mouthfuls.
Ziyan and Zimo looked at the ignorant child in front of them, sighed again and again, and counted Xue Ning and said, "Xue Ning, Xue Ning, it's good for you to escape alone, why did you bring a drag, now it's okay, with this little guy, he is delicate and expensive, and he needs the three of us to take care of him all the way, how is this good?"
Hey, if it weren't for the fact that his brother and the third elder brother treated us with deep affection, this kid, we really want to eat him in our stomachs as demon foxes. Zimo looked at the childishness, and the white and lovely Zijin complained helplessly.
