The emperor grew angrier and angrier, even wanting to strangle the empress.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the nine-tailed fox was a divine beast, and whoever possessed it could rule the world.
He was counting on marrying this nine-tailed fox to bring him good fortune and pacify the four directions. He had finally managed to tame her a little by Shao Linyuan, but then the empress framed him like this!
"Pass down the order," the old emperor said directly. "The Empress is jealous by nature and is not a good role model for the harem. Considering our years of affection, I hereby deduct three years' salary from her salary. From this day forward, she is forbidden from setting foot in Qiwu Palace!"
As he spoke, he pointed outside and said, "You'd better watch yourself."
Does the Emperor mean to send her away?
The Empress looked up, staring blankly at the Emperor. For a moment, it seemed her heart had stopped beating. How could this be...?
She and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts. In the past, when she quarreled with the other concubines, the Emperor always sided with her. How come now she is obsessed with this white fox?
Could it be that fox spirits can truly bewitch people?
"I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?"
The sudden threat brought the Queen back to her senses. She stood up shakily, like a walking corpse, and moved step by step toward the door.
Just then, Si Jin's words reached her ears again: "You can make someone lose everything without even saying a word. That's what you call slander. Learn from her."
This beast, how dare he provoke her like that!
The Empress suddenly turned around, her fierce eyes fixed on Si Jin. The little white fox, startled, hugged its tail even tighter, shrinking into a small ball, looking pitiful.
The Empress was warned by the Emperor once again.
Ahhh!
The Empress screamed inwardly, she was going crazy, she had to make this fox obediently hand over its demon core!
The Empress walked away, Zitong was carried away, and the Emperor's face became kind as he reached down to touch Sijin's lowered ear.
We've had this fox for half a month now, and we haven't been able to let him get close to it. Fortunately, Shao Linyuan has been very thorough, so now there's finally some hope.
Unexpectedly, before he could even extend his hand, the fox bared its teeth and stopped him.
The little fox tail that he had just been holding in his arms was now wrapped in crimson demonic power, as if his hand would be broken if he dared to go any further.
Moreover, Shao Linyuan was acting strangely; the killing intent emanating from him was... very strong!
The old emperor hesitated for a moment, but in the end he lost the courage to reach out again. Why did he suddenly feel that the little fox liked Shao Linyuan more? They were a couple, and he was the outsider.
But wait, the old emperor soon realized: he had caught the fox, so it should be his male concubine!
But now is clearly not the time to touch it.
The old emperor sighed, leaving only the words "tame them well" before turning away.
After the old emperor walked away, Si Jin swept his tail and kicked Shao Linyuan, who was holding him, away as well.
She seemed angry about something and ignored him.
The fox walked to the edge of the bed on its own, seemingly intending to sleep there, but upon seeing the blood on the bed, it became dejected, its beautiful tail dragging on the ground.
At that moment, for some reason, Shao Linyuan felt like a bastard, like a scumbag who "sold his wife for personal gain".
The little fox must be angry that he brought the emperor here, but it wasn't his intention to bring him. It was the emperor who was worried after punishing Vice Envoy Zhu and insisted on coming to see him.
He was lying in ambush beside the emperor, intending to kill him, but he didn't want the emperor to suspect anything before he made his move.
How should I coax him/her?
Tell the fox directly that he's going to kill the emperor and will do it in a month?
No, that sounds too unrealistic; it sounds more like a scumbag trying to deceive his wife.
He's a jerk, a liar, a coward, useless, and utterly detestable...
Shao Linyuan: ...
As I was thinking, I suddenly felt like slapping myself a few times.
Regardless, after pondering for a while, Shao Linyuan decided to go and change the blood-stained bedding on the fox's bed first.
But as soon as his hand touched the blanket, he saw the fluffy white fox behind him seem to have figured something out. Its eyes curved into a smile, and it released a demonic power.
The blanket in Shao Linyuan's hand suddenly burst into flames.
The nine-tailed fox had transformed into Samadhi True Fire. Unable to bear the pain, Shao Linyuan could only quickly throw away the blanket and rub the wound on his hand.
As he watched the blanket on the ground burn away bit by bit, not long after, the little fox climbed onto him again, its tail tightly wrapped around his waist.
Shao Linyuan felt a little relieved—it seemed the little fox wasn't angry anymore and was going to help him heal...
Before he could even think of the word "injury" to describe the wound, the little fox nimbly stole all the maltose he had hidden on his body.
Then, he was left standing there, wounded, and climbed onto the table.
She unwrapped the maltose candy, put it in her mouth, and even glanced at him with her eyelids. Then, she lazily waved her paws, like a proud king giving orders.
Shao Linyuan understood what he meant; it seemed to be: "Get lost, you're no longer of any use to me."
