Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 455 3 Reasons

Liuguang didn't say anything, but Xiaoxue could tell from his sparkling eyes that he had been whetted by her.

"As long as you promise to let me go, I will tell you everything I heard." Xiaoxue continued her request.

Liuguang still didn't say anything, and his silence meant that he was thinking and weighing whether this deal was worthwhile.

"How is it?" Xiaoxue's eyes were fixed on Liuguang's face.

Liuguang's lips moved, and after a long wait, he finally uttered a word: "Okay."

Xiaoxue was like a prisoner who had been pardoned from the death penalty. Her face was filled with joy and she almost screamed out.

"But don't even think about lying to me. If I find out that you've lied to me, I'll double the debt you owe me today." Liuguang threatened, but he also put away his sword.

Xiaoxue's heart, which had risen to her throat, finally fell back to its normal place. She took a breath until her voice stopped trembling.

"I heard two things. One is that Concubine Shui is not pregnant at all, she is pretending; the other is... the emperor has already thought about abdicating, and..." Xiaoxue hesitated a little when she said this. But after a little consideration, she continued, "... he wants to pass the throne to Kang Xiaorong."

Obviously, he could be free as long as he told Long Mohan that he intended to abdicate, but just now, he suddenly wanted to see how Liuguang would react after knowing that Long Mohan planned to pass the throne to Kang Xiaorong.

"Why is it Kang Xiaorong?" Liuguang's expression indeed became nervous.

"Because the emperor thinks this is the best way to live up to our ancestors." Xiaoxue conveyed everything she heard truthfully. As for how much truth there was in Long Mohan's words, that was not her concern.

Liuguang explained Xiaoxue's words in a more straightforward way: "In other words, as long as you marry Tianning, you can become the emperor?"

Although this literal translation is correct, it is even more absurd and child's play than the previous statement of "being worthy of the ancestors".

"I have told you everything I heard. You promised to let me go. You can't go back on your word." Xiaoxue wanted to fly back to the Nan Palace right away. If she had known that she would encounter such a disaster, she shouldn't have wanted to help Prince Ming to avenge himself. I don't know what secrets Yizhen has. She seems to have gradually controlled Long Mohan's behavior. What's even more strange is that he can't get close to her.

Liuguang kept his word and let Xiaoxue go, but he put forward an additional condition: "You can go, but you must eat this." Then he took out a paper bag from his pocket. He opened the paper bag and revealed a small pill.

"What is this?" Xiaoxue frowned subconsciously. Although she was afraid, she glared at Liuguang fiercely to vent her resentment. It seemed that the idea of ​​exchanging information for freedom was too naive.

Liuguang was not afraid of being hated. He glanced at Xiaoxue nonchalantly and whispered the name of the medicine: "Cai Xiang Hua."

"Is it poison?" The more poisonous it is, the better its name sounds. Xiaoxue was ready to die, but she was unwilling to do so. She didn't want to leave Concubine Gan alone in the palace.

Liuguang smiled, as if he wanted to ease Xiaoxue's nervousness with his smile. He said gently: "It won't kill you, but when the poison takes effect, it will make you live a life worse than death. However, when the poison takes effect, come to me, and as long as you are obedient, I will give you the antidote."

Xiaoxue's whole body was bound by light ropes, and she couldn't move at all, let alone reach out to take the medicine, so Liuguang handed the medicine to Xiaoxue's mouth.

But Xiaoxue gritted her teeth and refused to open her mouth.

Seeing her resistance, Liuguang advised: "Don't worry, you are not the first person to take this poison, nor will you be the last. There are still many of your companions in the palace. They are all alive and well, what are you afraid of?" For example, the two sisters Huarongyuemiao were both captives of Caixianghua's drug, but they were not poisoned by Liuguang, but forced to drink it by the Queen Mother three years ago.

"I'm just a little palace maid. It won't do you any good if you control me." Xiaoxue held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that Liuguang didn't know that she was a maid brought into the palace by Concubine Gan, otherwise she was afraid that he would force her to do something bad to Concubine Gan.

"Although she is just a little palace maid, she is a beauty that is unforgettable." Liuguang lifted Xiaoxue's chin, with a hint of teasing in his frivolous eyes.

Xiaoxue turned her head away angrily and shook off his hand that was pinching her chin.

Rejected, Liuguang did not make any other rude moves. He squatted quietly beside Xiaoxue and said with a nonchalant smile: "I'll give you three reasons: one, I want to control you; two, I want to punish you; three, I want to see you again. You can choose to believe any one of them, or choose to believe none of them. But you must take this medicine today - there is no choice."

After saying that, he pried open Xiaoxue's mouth and stuffed the poison into it.

Xiaoxue wanted to spit out the pill in protest, but Liuguang saw through her intention and slapped her on the chest. The pill rolled down her throat and she couldn't even spit it out. Xiaoxue lay on the ground and retched for a while, but finally gave up.

"You are so despicable, but I tell you, even if you use poison to control me, I will never do anything against my conscience."

Xiaoxue glared and spoke fiercely, but Liuguang did not respond at all and still looked at her with a smile.

After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Are you done?"

Xiaoxue was suddenly stunned.

Liuguang stood up and said, "Now that you have finished talking, I will let Xuanjizi untie the light rope and let you go."

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you after I recover my magic power?" Xiaoxue threatened under Liuguang's feet.

Liuguang stopped and touched the sword at his waist. "If I were afraid, I would have killed you right now."

He already knew what he wanted to know and what he shouldn't know, so there would be no loss even if he killed Xiaoxue now.

Xiaoxue was confused by the other party's calmness, and asked without thinking: "You keep me alive and control me, but you have to live in fear, not knowing when I will kill you. Why do you ask for trouble?"

Liuguang sighed helplessly, turned around and stared at Xiaoxue, who was looking at him pitifully but stubbornly on the ground, and said, "Who made me this kind of person? I have no choice. Life is a gamble. The bigger the stakes, the more you win. If you want to be a big winner, you can't be stingy with the price. My life and my head can be put on the gambling table at any time."

"Aren't you afraid of losing?" Xiaoxue stared at the crazy man in front of her.

"Maybe I was afraid before, but later I found that I had never lost, so gradually I was no longer afraid." He still had that relaxed smile on his face, and it was impossible to tell how much sincerity and how much falsehood were in his words.

"You're going to lose badly one day." Half curse, half premonition.

"I like brave women." Liuguang looked at Xiaoxue with a little more surprise and admiration in his eyes. No one had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him before.

However, Xiaoxue did not take his appreciation as a gift, and said disdainfully: "But I hate mean men."

Her only wish is to live long enough to fulfill Concubine Gan's wish. As long as she accomplishes her mission, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. It is precisely because she doesn't care about life or death that she appears to be so strong.

The next morning, Concubine Gan woke up and immediately found Xiaoxue missing. Normally, every time she opened her eyes, she would always see Xiaoxue waiting outside the door. But today, there was no one outside the door, and Xiaoxue had disappeared.

Concubine Gan was extremely worried, so she got up and rushed out the door, calling Xiaoxue's name everywhere. Several palace maids heard her calling and rushed over. After asking the reason, they told Concubine Gan that they had not seen Xiaoxue since last night.

After hearing this, Concubine Gan became even more worried and suspected that Xiaoxue was attacked by other monsters. Her first thought was that it was related to Prince Ming, so she hurried to the room where Prince Ming was hiding.

Prince Ming was still sleeping soundly, curled up in the bed in the form of a fox.

Concubine Gan took a few steps closer and immediately smelled alcohol. She thought to herself that something was wrong and guessed that Xiaoxue had made Prince Ming drink and turned him into a fox.

"Prince! Prince!" Concubine Gan lifted the quilt and pushed Prince Ming's body.

Prince Ming's eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened them. It took a lot of effort to see that Concubine Gan was sitting beside the bed.

"Prince, where is Xiaoxue?" Concubine Gan asked worriedly. Perhaps Prince Ming was the last person to see Xiaoxue, and if he didn't know Xiaoxue's whereabouts, then the clue would be cut off here.

"Sister Xiaoxue?" Prince Ming sat up in a daze, unable to remember what happened last night.

"It was Xiaoxue who asked you to drink, right? Where did she go?" Concubine Gan subconsciously pinched Prince Ming's shoulders tightly.

Prince Ming finally recalled it and shook his head in confusion, saying, "I don't know... I don't know anything after I fell asleep..."

Seeing his panicked expression, Concubine Gan couldn't bear to continue to question him, so she slowly let him go and whispered to herself: "Forget it, it's none of your business. Xiaoxue must have gotten into trouble herself..."

"Is Sister Xiaoxue missing?" The clever Prince Ming immediately guessed the reason why Concubine Gan was abnormal.

Concubine Gan nodded, her brows knitted together, "Xiaoxue always acts on impulse and rashly. I just hope she is safe this time..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Before Concubine Gan had time to look up, there was a loud "bang" and the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Empress, I heard that you were looking for me everywhere, right?" The person who rushed in breathlessly was none other than Xiaoxue, whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Xiaoxue, where have you been?" Concubine Gan stood up in surprise and rushed over to hug Xiaoxue. Concubine Gan, who was as cold as ice, rarely got so excited. Her relationship with Xiaoxue was even closer than that of a family member.

"I... I just went outside to relax, but I didn't expect to get lost." Xiaoxue said, sticking out her tongue.

"You..." After a narrow escape, Concubine Gan pinched Xiaoxue's arm affectionately.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxue suddenly let out a scream of "Ah".

"What's wrong?" Concubine Gan immediately noticed that Xiaoxue might have an injury on her hand, so she grabbed her hand and forced to lift up her sleeve.
