Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 159 Repaying kindness with hatred

Kang Xiaorong took a few steps closer to Huarong, and gently brushed away the strands of hair that were blocking Huarong's ears with his fingertips. He put his lips close to her ear and whispered, "...She will change this palace, just like you."

Hua Rong's body stiffened and she asked, "I don't know how long I can wait to realize my wish."

Kang Xiaorong said, "I am waiting too, and I am waiting more anxiously than you, but I must tell myself not to be anxious, because haste breeds confusion, and confusion breeds mistakes... As long as we take a slight wrong step, do you know what the price will be? Huarong, that price will definitely not be lighter than what the Xi family paid back then..."

"I know...That's why I've waited for three years." Hua Rong interrupted Kang Xiaorong. She didn't want to hear anyone mention the tragic massacre of the Xi family.

Three years ago, Xi Jinde's entire family was brutally murdered simply because he recorded in history books that the An family was interfering in government affairs. Now, a group of forces led by General Kang is gathering and growing stronger, planning to wipe out the An family. If this plan is exposed and the An family strikes back, the result is predictable, and no one involved will be lucky enough to escape death.

It is precisely because we are fully aware of the interests involved that we are extremely cautious in every step we take.

But now, Hua Rong gradually lost her patience. She held Kang Xiaorong tightly and said, "Xiaorong, I can wait... I can even wait forever, but... but... I'm afraid Yuemao can't wait any longer... I'm afraid if I wait any longer, she will die... Xiaorong, please save her... You can definitely save her..."

"I know, I know everything, don't worry. Yuemao will be fine, I promise you." Kang Xiaorong subconsciously hugged Huarong into his arms and held her trembling shoulders tightly.

Only at this moment can you feel the weakness of the person in your arms.

Because of the bloody murder of the Xi family three years ago, many people in the government and the public are always a little jealous when they mention Huarong, the daughter of the Xi family. But only Kang Xiaorong knows that the girl who raised a knife to chop her father's neck is not strong. She would cry, be afraid, and feel uneasy, but she would not let others see her weak side easily. How much strong spiritual power is contained in her slender frame and weak limbs to support her to live like a dog under the feet of her enemies for three years.

Whenever he thought of this, Kang Xiaorong felt heartbroken for her.

If it weren't for the bloody incident three years ago, perhaps they would have been married long ago.

The bloody incident three years ago almost separated them.

Even though Huarong survived later, her status was completely different from before. She fell from a famous lady to a maid in the palace.

"The An family owes the Xi family twenty-three lives. I will take them back one by one." Hua Rong swore with gritted teeth.

Kang Xiaorong quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't say anything more."

Although it was quiet and deserted, this was an important area of ​​the imperial palace after all, and one could easily hear what was said if one was not careful.

"Hua Rong, you should continue to pay attention to Concubine Zhao. She is not simple." Kang Xiaorong supported Hua Rong's shoulders and saw that Hua Rong's eyes were red. He comforted her, "Don't worry, Hua Rong, everything will be fine. Yue Mao will be saved, and your great revenge will be avenged. Those evil people with evil virtues and evil deeds will definitely pay the price for everything they have done."

Hua Rong nodded. Although she knew that these were just words of comfort and that the road ahead would be even more difficult, as long as she heard Kang Xiaorong say those words, she felt as if she had a support and the courage to stand up and keep going.

"How will the Queen Mother deal with Concubine Zhao?" Hua Rong asked.

Kang Xiaorong shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The Queen Mother's words and actions today were beyond Kang Xiaorong's expectations, so he had no way of predicting what she would do next. Judging from the fact that she spared Concubine Zhao's life today, it seemed that she had some reservations. The strangest thing was the fox that jumped out at the critical moment. It was definitely a demon fox that had cultivated into a spirit! Why did the demon fox save Concubine Zhao?

Kang Xiaorong couldn't think any further after this and his mind was in a mess.

At this time, Hua Rong's voice rang softly beside her ear: "Regarding Concubine Zhao... I don't want to become her enemy."

Although she had not been with Concubine Zhao for a long time, Huarong almost instinctively rejected being an enemy of Concubine Zhao. She did not know why, but she seemed to be somewhat attracted to Concubine Zhao. When she saw Concubine Zhao standing up for Yizhen in Renhe Hall, and when she saw Concubine Zhao not hesitating to clash with Concubine An for Die'er, Huarong was indeed somewhat moved by her.

"I don't want to either." Kang Xiaorong sighed and whispered, "Hua Rong, I can gradually understand why you care about her so much. She is indeed precious. Maybe everyone in the palace is crazy, and she is the only sober person. If it is not necessary, I don't want to watch the only sober person go crazy with us. But... her origins are always very strange, and her style of doing things is also unique. Sometimes I feel that she is as clear as water, but sometimes I feel that she is a shadow that I can't see through."

Hua Rong nodded and agreed: "The closer I get to her, the more I feel I can't see through her... I can't even tell whether she is an enemy or a friend... Because I can't predict what she will do next. Sometimes she will listen to my advice, but sometimes even I can't persuade her... We can't predict her, we can't control her, she is too strange."

Kang Xiaorong said, "At least she is not in league with the An family, so she is definitely not an enemy."

"But what about the future..." Hua Rong felt uneasy, "After all, she is the emperor's earliest concubine, and has the deepest relationship with the emperor, and... there is also Prince Ming. Even if she doesn't associate with An, the relationship between her and the emperor as husband and wife, and the relationship between her and Prince Ming as mother and son are not something that can be easily severed, and these..."

All of these will make her a huge obstacle to revenge!

Hua Rong did not say the last sentence, but Kang Xiaorong understood it completely.

How easy is it to overthrow a powerful country?

Even if Concubine Zhao, who is now hostile to the Empress Dowager and Concubine An, can become an ally against the An family, it is destined not to last long.

"Let's think about the future later..." Kang Xiaorong didn't want to think too far ahead. As Huarong said just now, Ji Anni was a person they couldn't predict or control. Maybe when that day came in the future, she would not stand on the side of the royal family?

"Xiao Rong, do you remember what you promised me?" Hua Rong suddenly raised her head and said seriously, "... Be nice to the princess and don't hurt her."

"..." Kang Xiaorong seemed to have his mouth suddenly blocked and could not make a sound.

"Although she is the Queen Mother's biological daughter, she is also the one who saved Yuemao and I's lives."

Kang Xiaorong shook his head and sighed softly, "Don't be silly, Huarong, the princess won't appreciate your kindness... Just imagine, if one day, all her family members died because of you, and you left her alone alive in the world, do you think she would be grateful to you? Your kindness to her is just another form of cruelty. You only seek comfort in your heart, regardless of whether she can bear it. I can be good to her, but do you know that the better I treat her, the more I hurt her."

"I only know that she saved my life..."

"I also know that she saved your life, and I am grateful to her for saving you and your sister from the Queen Mother, but..."

He choked up when he got to this point. Kang Xiaorong opened his mouth several times before he finally made up his mind to speak.

"Hua Rong, I'm afraid if I continue to treat her well, I'll be betrothed!"

Then he grabbed Hua Rong's hand and asked anxiously: "...Is this not a big deal? Don't you care about this?"
