Chapter 140: The Fox Brings Warmth



Mrs. Huo felt both sad and touched, but she had to harden her heart and scold her: "Are you stupid? Zhao Bingsheng is a ruthless person. What good can you get if you fall into his hands? His master is the Imperial Concubine. Do you think that if he gets you, he can really benefit our Fengzhang Palace? No, after he has humiliated you, he will only make things worse!"

Ah Ning also said, "That's right, Ah Yan, don't be stupid."

Ah Yan choked up and said, "I know, but, but seeing that the Queen couldn't even use ice, I feel sad! After all, my life was given by the Queen, so it would be worth it if I could do something for the Queen before I die!"

Mrs. Huo couldn't hold it in any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, and she raised her hand to hit her. "What's it worth? Is your life only worth a few pieces of ice? If I had known this, I wouldn't have saved you, so you wouldn't have humiliated yourself like this!"

A Yan burst into tears and threw herself on her knees, "My Queen..."

Aning's crying also aroused her inner sadness, and she started crying too. However, she was introverted by nature, and even her crying was silent, shedding tears silently.

For a moment, the master, servant and three others in the room all burst into tears, and the scene was extremely tragic.

At that moment, an animal cry suddenly came from the windowsill. Ah Ning was the first to react and discovered that it was actually a fox! It was covered in snow-white fur, with a pair of gem-like green eyes embedded in its charming and delicate face. It had a slender and beautiful body, and its fluffy tail swept back and forth. It was so adorable!

This fox was created by Xue Huan using magic.

In order to move around the palace more conveniently to pick sheep and absorb purple air, she chose the form of a fox. Even if she was discovered, the palace people would not make a fuss.

She followed the Five Elements Pearl, watching it happily devour the purple air, while admiring the scenery in the palace.

As a result, I arrived at Fengzhang Palace unknowingly.

Being able to live in a palace named after the word "Phoenix", it seems that the owner of the palace is of extraordinary status, either the empress dowager or the queen. After all, apart from these two, who else can be worthy of the word "Phoenix"?

Thinking of Pei Ji's identity as the legitimate prince, Xue Huan suddenly realized that the person living in this palace might be his mother!

Now that she's here, why shouldn't she go in and take a look?

Upon seeing this, she realized that the situation of this person in the palace was extremely bad and he couldn't even use ice.

Afterwards, she heard the conversation between the master and servants.

Considering the fact that Pei Ji was seriously injured and drowned in the lake before, it is not difficult to guess that his mother's situation must not be much better, which coincidentally corresponds to the situation in Fengzhang Palace.

Judging from the appearance and age of this lady, she is undoubtedly Pei Ji's mother!

For Pei Ji's sake, she couldn't just sit back and watch, right?

Xue Huan jumped into the room and leaped onto the desk in front of Mrs. Huo.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Huo and A Yan stopped crying one after another.

Xue Huan looked around and saw that the fruits on the table were wilted and in very poor condition, which showed the Queen's current quality of life.

Seeing her staring at the fruit plate on the table, Mrs. Huo thought she wanted to eat something, so she picked out a relatively intact pear from the plate, peeled it, cut it into pieces, and fed it to her.

Although the pear didn't look very good, it was fed to her by the beautiful lady herself, so Xue Huan reluctantly opened her mouth and took a bite.

When I took a bite, the taste was indeed very ordinary.

Her appetite has now been spoiled by the spiritual fruits in the space, and ordinary fruits are no longer acceptable to her.

She swallowed the pear with some difficulty. When Mrs. Huo handed her the second piece, she shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to eat it anymore.

Mrs. Huo was quite surprised to see this and tentatively reached out to touch her, but Xue Huan didn't move and let her touch her.

"Little fox, why did you come to my palace?" Mrs. Huo scratched her chin gently. There was nothing in her palace now. There was no comfortable environment, no various delicacies that could be served anytime and anywhere. It was really unfair to it.

Xue Huan tilted her head to act cute, then stretched out her paw and tapped the table, and a juicy lychee appeared out of thin air.

"Ah!" A Yan let out a low cry of surprise.

"My queen, this..." Aning was shocked and suspicious.

Mrs. Huo's action of caressing Xue Huan also froze.

Xue Huan blinked, as if she scared them a little?

Immediately, she was held in Huo's arms, "Is this for me?"

Xue Huan nodded.

Mrs. Huo stroked her fur, "Thank you, little fox."

Xue Huan breathed a sigh of relief, glad she wasn't scared. She waved her claws again, and a pile of spiritual fruits appeared out of thin air on the table. Peaches, watermelons, plums, lychees, cantaloupes, grapes... piled together in a colorful manner, and the fresh and sweet fruit fragrance filled the entire room.

The three Huo family members were all stunned.

After realizing what was happening, the two maids couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Such fresh fruits looked delicious. You know, they hadn't had fresh fruits to eat for a long time.

The food delivered from outside is either spoiled or wilted, and sometimes we can’t even eat it.

The dish on the table was because of the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet.

The Empress Dowager held a birthday banquet and the whole country celebrated. Rewards were given to everyone in the palace. Originally, A Yan and the other two could have received an extra month's reward, but the money never reached them. Instead, it was embezzled by the eunuch in charge of distributing the reward money.

They are relying on the fact that Fengzhang Palace has fallen out of favor and they have nowhere to appeal!

They also withheld various portions from the Empress. It would have been fine if they had taken anything else, but they even dared to take ice! Sure enough, the heavens couldn't stand it anymore and sent a little fox like this to bring food to the Empress!

That’s great!

Mrs. Huo held Xue Huan's little paw and asked, "Are these all for me?"

Xue Huan nodded and waved her other front paw, as if to say, "What are you waiting for? Come on and eat."

A Yan couldn't wait any longer, but she didn't dare to touch the fruits without the Queen's permission. Seeing this, she looked at her Queen expectantly.

Mrs. Huo laughed. She knew that Yan and the others had suffered with her, and now they were so out of control when they saw some fruit. "Take this watermelon and cut it up."

"Yes, my queen!" A Yan happily went out holding the watermelon.

After a while, A Yan came in with the cut watermelon. The watermelon was bright red and translucent. Just by smelling it, you could imagine how sweet it would be when you put it in your mouth.

Mrs. Huo's eyes lit up: "Where's Xiao Linzi? Call him in to eat melon too."

The master and servants have been through hardships together for several months, and their relationship has become closer than before. Whenever Mrs. Huo eats something, she always thinks of A Yan and the other two.

Ah Yan smiled and said to the outside: "Xiao Linzi, did you hear that? The Queen is calling you to come in and eat melon."

Xiao Linzi stepped in and said, "My Lady."

His eyes fell curiously on the white fox on Mrs. Huo's knees. He had just heard A Yan mention in the small kitchen that those fruits were transformed by this little fox and given to the empress.

It turns out that the queen is blessed with great fortune. Even if she temporarily loses power, there is still a fox spirit to bring warmth to her.
