Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 315 Emerging wisdom out of desperation

Ji Anni was so anxious that she decided to go all out. She pulled the quilt out from under the bed and threw it out of the window.

Rather than having the bloodstains on the quilt discovered, it would be better to throw all the hidden dangers out of the window as soon as possible and be done with it.

"Sister? Sister?" When Concubine An saw that Ji Anni was reluctant to open the door, she called out several times more urgently.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Ji Anni was in a hurry. After throwing the quilt out of the window, she closed the window and hurried to open the door. Because she was running too fast, she almost fell down two or three times in the more than ten steps from the window to the door.

As soon as the door opened, one saw the neatly dressed Concubine An and her servant Ningshuang standing in front of Ji Anni, one in front and one behind.

Ji Anni sincerely admired their energy. They got up so early but there was not even a trace of tiredness in their eyes.

Concubine An's gaze passed over Ji Anni's shoulder and fell directly on Prince Ming who was still lying in the bed. Seeing that Prince Ming showed no signs of waking up, she immediately showed an expression of "I knew it" and glanced at Ji Anni with contempt.

Ji Anni knew that Concubine An was punishing her mentally with her eyes again.

It was indeed my negligence yesterday that I forgot to wake Prince Ming up, but today, Ji Anni clearly remembered to get up early. If anyone is to blame, it should be Concubine An who urged him to go to the door too early.

"Noble Concubine An, it's not even day yet, please let Prince Ming sleep a little longer." Ji Anni felt sorry for the child and pleaded for Prince Ming. If the master had punished Prince Ming by making him get up half an hour earlier yesterday according to the rules of the courtyard, it would be understandable. But the master clearly didn't punish Prince Ming, so he didn't need to get up so early. Noble Concubine An was too proactive.

Without waiting for Ji Anni's invitation, Concubine An walked into the room with her head held high, saying as she walked, "Sister, you misunderstood. I am not here to urge Prince Ming to get up, but to urge you to get up. Prince Ming can still sleep for another half an hour, but sister, you should dress up earlier, right? Otherwise, when Prince Ming wakes up later, he will see his mother's disheveled appearance and learn bad habits."

"Learning bad things?" Ji Anni pointed at her nose.

Well, on the point of getting up early, Concubine An is indeed qualified to criticize herself for being a bad role model...

"Sister, don't be angry first. I'm reminding you with good intentions." Concubine An glanced at Ji Anni with the corner of her eyes and sneered. Whether this was a kind reminder or a malicious sarcasm, even a blind man could tell.

Ji Anni knew that she had long disliked her and was trying to find fault with her. She just wanted to be a prime minister for once and hold her peace of mind. She didn't bother with her and replied, "Yes, sister reminded me that Zhao Ji should start dressing up now."

Concubine An had come to quarrel with Ji Anni, but seeing how docile and obedient Ji Anni was, she didn't know how to find fault with her. She glanced around the room and suddenly found that there was only a bare bed board left on the bed next to Prince Ming, and the bedding and pillow were all gone.

Concubine An suddenly felt strange and asked casually, "Sister, what's wrong with this bed? Wait, something's wrong..."

Just when she was halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that the beds had been changed and Prince Ming was sleeping on Shui Furong's bed, so she asked even more curiously: "Why did you change the beds? How did Prince Ming sleep on Concubine Shui Cong's bed?"

Shui Furong had just been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine not long ago, and Imperial Concubine An was not used to calling her Imperial Concubine, so she continued to call her Concubine.

"Oh, this, this..." Ji Anni became nervous when she was asked about the key point, and explained in a far-fetched way, "This, this is because... By the way, didn't Concubine Shui come back yesterday? He asked the maid to take away all the quilts, mattresses, and pillows, saying that he needed them in the West Palace. I saw that his bed had good light, so I moved to sleep next to him."

"Really? Why did he ask someone to hold the quilt? Wasn't there anyone in the West Palace prepared?" Concubine An pressed on.

"He said he had slept with it for so long that he had developed feelings for it and couldn't bear to change it..." Ji Anni avoided Concubine An's sharp gaze and tilted her head to look at the wall behind her. She was not good at lying, and under Concubine An's gaze, which was more alert than a police dog, she was already nervous and sweating, and kept praying that Concubine An would not open the window and find the bloodstained bedding outside the window.

"Oh?" After listening to Ji Anni's explanation, Concubine An raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't believe it, but she didn't ask any more questions. Because she didn't come for the quilt, but for Prince Ming. She walked around Ji Anni and came to Prince Ming's bedside, quietly looking at Prince Ming's peaceful sleeping face. As she looked at it, a faint, happy smile appeared on her lips.

Ji Anni stood aside, her heart beating as fast as a drum, one beat faster than the other, for fear that Concubine An would discover the blood on Prince Ming's body. Although she had already helped Prince Ming wipe off all the blood on his face and neck last night, there was still a lot of snake blood on Prince Ming's clothes. Now Prince Ming was covered with a quilt, and his clothes were covered, so it was not possible to see the blood on his clothes for the time being, but if Prince Ming suddenly turned over or kicked off the quilt, his true identity would be exposed.

Ji Anni was just imagining the consequences of these fears when she saw Prince Ming's body suddenly twisted and almost lifted the quilt. With a loud "Wow", Ji Anni pounced over and pressed the corner of Prince Ming's quilt tightly with both hands.

She pounced so hard that she almost knocked Concubine An away. Concubine An thought that Ji Anni was deliberately taking revenge on her, and asked sarcastically, "Sister, what's wrong with you? I have taken care of Prince Ming for so long, don't I even have the right to see him?"

"No, no... Sister misunderstood. Zhao Ji was afraid that Prince Ming would catch a cold, so she helped him to tuck in the corner of the quilt..." Ji Anni laughed dryly and turned around, looking at Concubine An. She had no idea whether her lie could be successfully passed off. While she was talking, she deliberately sat on the edge of the bed and pressed Prince Ming's quilt under her buttocks, so that she didn't have to worry about Prince Ming kicking the quilt.

The more Concubine An looked at Ji Anni, the more strange she felt, but she just couldn't figure out what secrets she was hiding. Well, Concubine An didn't think about it for the time being, and called Ningshuang, "Ningshuang, put down Prince Ming's clothes for today."

Hearing this, Ji Anni subconsciously looked at Ning Shuang, and then she found that Ning Shuang was holding a neatly arranged pile of clothes. The clothes were stacked together, and judging from the different colors and materials exposed from the side, there were at least five or six pieces. Ji Anni secretly said that it was not good. You know, the court dress of the Tianyou Holy Dynasty is very troublesome to wear. If you get the order of putting on the clothes wrong, you can't put it on at all.

When Prince Ming got up yesterday morning, Ji Anni, Concubine An and Ningshuang all helped him get dressed. Although this gave Ji Anni the opportunity to watch the dressing process, she was in a hurry at the time and did not pay attention to it.

If she were to dress Prince Ming alone today, it would be harder than climbing to the sky and it would be an impossible task.

But if she didn't help Prince Ming dress himself, would she ask Concubine An and Ningshuang for help?

If we let them help, wouldn’t all the bloodstains on Prince Ming’s clothes be discovered?

No matter what she thought, it didn't work. Ji Anni scratched her hair and became anxious.

Seeing Ji Anni's anxious look, Concubine An became even more proud, and sneered with the corners of her mouth.

She had already expected that Ji Anni would not be able to help Prince Ming put on his clothes by herself, and he would definitely ask her for help when the time came.

She didn't take the initiative to offer to help, but deliberately left the clothes behind, letting Ji Anni figure it out slowly. Only when Ji Anni admitted defeat and came to her for help did she give her help, in order to achieve her purpose of ridiculing Ji Anni.

If Ji Anni can't even help Prince Ming put on his clothes, how can she be qualified to be a mother?

"Sister, I'll put the clothes here first. Remember to wake Prince Ming up in time." Concubine An stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind her, "...If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

Seeing her confident attitude, Ji Anni felt sick as if she had eaten a fly, but she still had to see her off with a smile: "Goodbye, sister. Thank you, sister." She added in her heart: Who would ask you for help? Dream on.

After seeing off Concubine An, Ji Anni was worried about the pile of clothes.

The bloodstained underwear of Prince Ming must be taken off as soon as possible, otherwise what if Prince Ming wakes up and finds himself covered in blood and gets scared? But taking off the clothes will wake Prince Ming up. There was no other way, so Ji Anni had to take out the scissors and cut the clothes. Only in this way could she take the clothes off Prince Ming without waking him up.

After a while, although the bloody clothes were taken off, the new clothes could not be put on, so Ji Anni had to wrong Prince Ming and let him sleep naked for a while. Anyway, isn't it often said that sleeping without clothes is more beneficial to blood circulation and health?

While Ji Annie was comforting herself in this way to reduce her guilt, she threw the bloody clothes out of the window as quickly as possible, throwing them together with the bedding and pillows.

God bless, please don’t let anyone discover this pile of bloodstained stolen goods. Once Prince Ming goes to school, she will have a whole day to deal with the evidence.

After tidying up the room, Ji Anni slowly began to wash and dress. When she was done, it was almost time to wake Prince Ming up. Ji Anni came to the bedside and stared at the pile of strange clothes in worry. Although she had already made up her mind not to ask the hateful Concubine An for help, if she didn't bow her head and ask for help, how could she help Prince Ming get dressed?

Ji Anni was just worrying when she saw Prince Ming on the bed turn over and wake up on his own.

Ji Annie was shocked. She didn't expect that Prince Ming's biological clock was so punctual. He woke up at the time and she didn't need to urge him. He was much more obedient than when she was in school.
