Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

"Empress, are you okay? We will kill this beast right away to vent your anger." The eunuch who had been sharpening the knife earlier said as he picked up the knife again.

Seeing that he really wanted to chop her, Ji Anni rushed over in pain and stopped him, saying, "Stop! Stop! I told you to stop!"

“Your Majesty…”

"Don't say anything, can you knock Unnie out first?" Ji Anni had been kicked once and was afraid of being kicked again. Now she suspected that there was something wrong with the horse's hoof and wanted to check it carefully. If Unnie was not knocked out first, checking Unnie's hoof would be like plucking hair from a tiger's butt.

"Knocked out?" The eunuchs were all stunned.

"Don't you have any anesthetics?" Ji Anni thought that even in Hua Tuo's time, there was Ma Fei San, so this Tianyou Holy Dynasty should also have anesthetics.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch replied, "Yes, there is, but you need to apply to the Imperial Pharmacy in advance..."

"Oh, forget it." Ji Annie was afraid of trouble. She thought that everything in the palace had to be approved. She had heard Yun Zhen say that one had to apply to borrow cars or horses before. Now, even killing horses and using anesthetics required an application. Isn't the management too strict?

"Your Majesty, how about I go and apply now, and you can come back tomorrow?" The eunuch proposed a compromise.

How could Ji Anni have the time to wait? Today's day off was already very hard-won, and she couldn't guarantee that Yan Niang would let her rest for a whole day tomorrow. Moreover, if the bad guys killed Wu Nie out of guilt before the eunuch applied for the anesthetic, wouldn't the clues she was tracking be cut off? So she couldn't put things off until tomorrow. Even if she risked her life today, she had to find out what sharp object was stuck in Wu Nie's horse hoof.

"Your Majesty?" The eunuchs saw that Ji Anni was suddenly silent. They didn't know what she was planning, so they asked worriedly, "What exactly is your Majesty planning?"

"Planning, humph..." Ji Anni sneered twice, her eyes were bright, and there was no sign of helplessness, cowardice or retreat in her eyes, but she was very firm and strong. She walked towards Wu Nie, and while walking, she ordered the three eunuchs beside her: "It's okay if you don't knock it out, all of you come and help me hold it down, I don't believe that I can't catch its horse hoof."

"Your Majesty, don't, it's dangerous!" The three eunuchs did not try to hold Wunie down, but instead rushed over and grabbed Ji Anni.

"Let me go, let me go!" Ji Anni shouted anxiously.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice behind me: "Let her go first."

From the voice she could tell it was a man's, Ji Anni felt vaguely familiar with him, but she couldn't remember where he was for a moment.

The eunuchs around her reacted much faster than Ji Anni. As soon as the other party finished speaking, they all let go of Ji Anni and saluted to the person outside the door, saying, "Major General."

Major General?

Ji Anni looked towards the door and saw Kang Xiaorong appear in her sight.

Kang Xiaorong walked into the room and first asked the eunuchs, "What on earth is going on?" Then he turned his gaze to Ji Anni, and his previously serious eyes suddenly softened a lot. He tried to use a gentle voice to ask, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here? This is a place to kill horses. Your Majesty, are you not afraid of losing your status by coming in casually? And you are pulling and tugging with a group of eunuchs..."

Although Kang Xiaorong's voice and attitude were generally gentle, one could still hear obvious reproach between his words.

Ji Anni knew that she was too naughty today. She didn't have enough confidence to argue, so she could only whisper: "I... I came to see Wu Nie. They want to kill Wu Nie."

Kang Xiaorong couldn't help but feel sad when he mentioned this. He sighed and said, "Uni has gone mad and has to be killed. I came here today to send it off for the last time."

Wunie has always been Kang Fangting's mount, so he is also an old acquaintance of Kang Fangting's elder brother Kang Xiaorong. Both Kang brothers and sisters have deep feelings for Wunie. Kang Fangting did not show up because she could not bear to see Wunie being killed, and Kang Xiaorong came here specially to see Wunie for the last time and ran into the scene just now.

Kang Xiaorong walked towards Wunie, but Wunie was still spinning in the same place, as if trying to break free from the hemp rope and rush away.

"Young General, it's dangerous!" The eunuchs were afraid that Kang Xiaorong would also be kicked by Wu Nie, so they shouted worriedly.

Strangely enough, when Wunie saw Kang Xiaorong, his mood calmed down a little. Although his four hooves were still stomping on the ground, he stopped barking. He looked at Kang Xiaorong with an almost pleading look, as if he wanted to ask Kang Xiaorong for help. Kang Xiaorong was slightly startled, and seemed to see that Wunie had something to ask for, but after all, humans and horses could not speak the same language, so he didn't know what Wunie wanted to ask for.

"Major General..." Ji Anni said tremblingly, pointing at Unnie's right hind hoof, "There seems to be something on Unnie's hoof. I was kicked by that hoof just now, and my arm is bleeding."

Hearing this, Kang Xiaorong noticed the blood on Ji Anni's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Madam, are you okay?" Then he immediately instructed a eunuch standing next to him, "Hurry up and send Madam to the Imperial Hospital for bandaging."

Ji Anni said hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a minor injury, the wound has stopped bleeding a long time ago. I'm worried about Unie, it seems like there's something stuck in its hoof."

After hearing what Ji Anni said, Kang Xiaorong began to pay attention to Wunie's hind legs again.

I saw Unie stamping his hind legs in the same place, as if something was really stuck in his hind legs.

"Unie, be quiet." Kang Xiaorong patted Unie's head and comforted it, "We know that your hind leg is injured. Don't move. I will check you right away."

It seemed that Wunie really understood human nature. After hearing what Kang Xiaorong said, he really stopped moving.

Kang Xiaorong held Wunie's neck and gently stroked it to calm her down. He wanted to wait until Wunie's emotions were stable before checking the horse's hooves himself, but Ji Anni was quicker. Before Kang Xiaorong let go of Wunie, she had already squatted on Wunie's hind hooves.

"Empress!" Kang Xiaorong shouted anxiously, fearing that Ji Annie would get hurt.

Ji Anni looked up and smiled back at him, "It's okay, leave it to me," then she grabbed Unnie's hind legs and slowly lifted the hind hoof. Because she had just been kicked by Unnie, Ji Anni was still frightened and didn't dare to move too fast. The moment her eyes fell on the horse's hoof, she finally discovered that there was indeed a small tip on the horse's hoof.

From the change in Ji Anni's face, Kang Xiaorong saw that she had found something on the horse's hoof. Fearing that she would get hurt, he hurriedly shouted, "My queen, don't move."

But Ji Anni used her fingernails to pick the sharp object off the horse's hoof.

Wunie let out a cry of pain. If Kang Xiaorong hadn't held Wunie's neck tightly, Wunie would have rushed forward in pain.

Although Kang Xiaorong controlled Unnie's body, Unnie's hooves were beyond his control.

Unnie reflexively kicked with his hind hoof, and it seemed that the hoof was about to kick Ji Annie in the face. Fortunately, Ji Annie reacted quickly and quickly stood up and dodged, so she was not injured.

Ji Anni was still holding the sharp object that she had just pulled out of Unnie's hoof.

A closer look revealed that it was an iron needle the length of an index finger. Even more frightening was that the needle was completely black, as if it had been coated with some poison. Could it be that... Unie went crazy because of the poisonous iron needle stuck in his hoof?
