Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 409 Peach Blossom Rose

"I saw you in the palace and found that you looked gloomy. I wanted to see what happened to you. But you walked too fast and I couldn't catch up..." Liuguang said simply. The second half of the sentence was obviously false, but fortunately Kang Xiaorong didn't delve into it.

Liuguang, who had just recovered from his injury, wanted to report to the emperor, but happened to meet Kang Xiaorong who was in a bad mood. Kang Xiaorong, who was furious, did not notice Liuguang. Liuguang followed Kang Xiaorong from the palace to Kang's house, and then discovered the secret that Kang Xiaorong was hiding Princess Tianning.

Kang Xiaorong was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Tianning behind him was pinching the corner of his clothes tightly.

"Tianning, what's wrong?" Kang Xiaorong turned around and found that Tianning's face was pale, as if he had just walked out of an ice cellar.

"He, he..." Tian Ning raised his hand timidly and pointed directly at Liuguang three steps away.

Liuguang smiled inexplicably, pretending to be innocent. In fact, he had already guessed that Tianning might have discovered his identity.

"This voice...it's this voice..." Tian Ning was trembling all over. He shrank behind Kang Xiaorong and didn't dare to look at Liuguang any more.

"Xiaorong, why is the princess so afraid of me?" Liuguang stood up and walked towards Tianning.

Tianning immediately let out a scream and turned to hide in the corner.

"Don't come near her, she is very afraid of strangers now..." Kang Xiaorong stood between Liuguang and Tianning.

When she found Tianning in the small firewood room of Wumu Escort Agency, she also looked pitiful and fearful. So Kang Xiaorong did not doubt Liuguang, but thought that Tianning's old illness had relapsed.

"It's him, it's him... He wants to kill me..." Tian Ning curled up in the corner like a kitten, hugged himself tightly, covered his ears and murmured, "He threatened me not to return to the palace, otherwise, he would kill me..."

Of course Kang Xiaorong didn't believe it. How could Liuguang kill Tianning?

"Tianning, don't be afraid. He is my friend, how could he hurt you?" Kang Xiaorong gently stroked Tianning's shoulder and found that Tianning's body was trembling slightly.

"Liuguang, I'm sorry, can you please go out for a while?" Kang Xiaorong had no choice but to ask Liuguang to go out first.

Liuguang expressed his understanding and left as he was told without saying anything.

Kang Xiaorong spent a lot of effort to finally calm Tianning down. But no matter how he explained, Tianning always insisted that Liuguang was the murderer who threatened her and did not allow her to return to the palace. Seeing Tianning so sure, Kang Xiaorong could not help but waver. Could it be that Liuguang was really the criminal? But it was impossible... Why did Liuguang kill the princess? After thinking about it, he still felt that Tianning remembered it wrong.

After comforting Tianning, Kang Xiaorong came to the yard and Liuguang had been waiting for a long time.

He was originally sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. When he saw Kang Xiaorong coming out, he immediately stood up, went to meet him and asked, "Is the princess feeling better?"

Kang Xiaorong sighed and said, "It's better now, but I don't know why, she always feels that you want to hurt her..."

"The princess must have been upset by something."

"Yeah, if this continues, I don't know when I can recover..."

"How are you going to deal with the fake princess?" Liuguang suddenly asked.

Kang Xiaorong was stunned for a moment, then after a brief thought, he replied, "I met the fake princess last night, and she said she was willing to exchange with the real princess. She asked me to make a plan and inform her, and she would actively cooperate."

"Is that so..." Liuguang didn't ask any more questions, his eyes became dark, "She agreed so easily, there must be something fishy going on, you'd better not believe it so easily."

Kang Xiaorong nodded on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.

In the palace, Long Mohan came to Xianke Pavilion to visit Ji Anni.

Not many people knew that Ji Anni had turned back into Zhao Ji, only Long Mohan, Yun Zhen and Hua Rong. The news did not spread not because it was kept secret, but because not many people came to visit Xianke Pavilion, and no one noticed Zhao Ji's changes.

This is good, so as to avoid rumors in the palace that Zhaoji had entered the demon-suppressing temple again and was possessed by evil spirits...

In the ward, Long Mohan was afraid that Ji Anni would be lonely, so he went out of his way to chat with her.

Firstly, it helps her pass the time, and secondly, it helps her regain her original memory.

During the conversation, Long Mohan did not mention Ji Anni at all. He used "temporary amnesia" to explain the blanks in Zhao Ji's mind. Ji Anni did not completely forget what happened after entering the palace, but she could not find the order. The fragments of Ji Anni and Zhao Ji's memories were cluttered in her mind. Long Mohan only helped her to evoke Zhao Ji's memory and deliberately avoided Ji Anni's memory.

Therefore, Ji Anni is becoming more and more like Zhao Ji, and I am almost losing my personality...

"Zhao Ji, do you still remember Yue Ji in the Qi Palace?" Long Mohan suddenly asked.

Ji Anni tilted her head, like an ignorant child, expecting others to clear up her confusion.

Roses are a strange flower. Throughout the year, or even during the day, the shape of the stamens and leaves will undergo subtle changes. To depict roses realistically is undoubtedly a difficult task for painters. When he was in the Qi Palace, the garden of the proton Long Mohan was full of roses. When he was free, he always liked to spread out rice paper and depict the beautiful flowers in the courtyard.

After years of practice, he was familiar with the appearance of roses at different times. But one day, when he was painting, he found that the stamen of a rose was different from what he remembered. He went to the yard curiously and observed the rose carefully, and finally found that it was a fake flower. Although it was a fake flower, it was so realistic that it looked real.

Who put an artificial flower in the bush?

Long Mohan questioned the palace maids and eunuchs who frequently entered and exited the courtyard, and finally found the "criminal".

"Me?" Ji Anni pointed at her nose uncertainly. Her vague memory, coupled with Long Mohan's slightly smiling gaze, proved that she was the answer to the mystery.

Sure enough, Long Mohan nodded.

"It was you. You said you saw me spending my time painting roses every day. If spring passes and the roses wither, what will I paint in the future? In order to prolong the blooming period, you made fake flowers and mixed them in with the flowers. Later, I carefully checked the garden and found that more than half of the roses had been replaced by you. I don't know who is the funny one, you or me, laughing at you for coming up with this little trick to deceive me, and laughing at me for not realizing your intentions."

Hearing this, Ji Anni finally recalled this past event and said with a smile: "The emperor is obviously a careful person, but sometimes he can be very careless."

"But it's not too late. I finally understand your feelings. Do you remember what happened after that?" Long Mohan suddenly moved closer.

Ji Anni blinked and answered with clear eyes - I can't remember.

"You really can't remember?" There was a hint of regret and a hint of cunning in his words.

Ji Anni didn't know what he was going to do, she just felt his face getting closer and closer. When Ji Anni finally thought of running away, he had already held her hand tightly. The soft touch of her lips spread in her heart, and an incredible sweetness spread in her heart.

Oh, I remember now...

Ji Anni's brain was working rapidly.

After finding the fake flowers in the garden, So-hee timidly admitted her mistake. She thought she would be punished, but she was kissed instead.

That was their first kiss, the first time they understood each other, and their love for each other finally had the opportunity to be expressed openly.

Long Mohan had already moved away, but Ji Anni was still standing there in a daze.

The other person is obviously her husband, so she shouldn't feel strange about his kiss...

But why...the figure that just flashed through my mind was another person?

"Peach Blossoms..." Ji Anni looked into the distance with empty eyes, her sight passed Long Mohan and looked towards a place farther.

"Peach Blossom?" Long Mohan didn't understand what she wanted to say.

"Peach Blossom..." Ji Anni covered her aching head.

Just now, at the moment our lips touched, the image that emerged in my mind was not roses, but peach blossoms.

The petals flying in the night sky are like bright red tears, which makes people sad...

This heart-wrenching feeling is the same as the one I feel every time I see "that person".

Silver hair floated before my eyes, and a bitter kiss came from my tightly pursed lips. The cold touch was like ice, freezing my heart. But it was also like fire, warming my whole body.

It was him, the Imperial Master... Ji Anni finally recognized the figure in the illusion. Why was it him? Who was he?

Unable to think deeply, every time she got closer to the memory, her headache got worse.

She held her head tightly and cried out in pain.

"Zhao Ji?" Long Mohan held her in his arms.

Zhao Ji's lost look made Long Mohan feel that he would lose her again.

Stopping the memories, Ji Anni took a few deep breaths and finally returned to normal.

"I'm fine, really fine..." She forced a smile.

Noticing that she had changed her self-reference from "concubine" to "I", Long Mohan felt a surge of panic in his heart.

"Zhao Ji, you are Zhao Ji, right?" As if afraid that Zhao Ji would disappear, Long Mohan grabbed Ji Anni's wrist.

Ji Anni frowned in pain and struggled while saying, "What's wrong with the emperor? Of course I am Zhao Ji."

"Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji..." Long Mohan stared at Ji Anni's face seriously, and finally found a hint of familiarity in Zhao Ji's painful expression, and slowly let go of Zhao Ji's hand.

At this moment, the voice of Prince Ming suddenly came from the door: "Father, Mother..."

The voice was full of surprise and worry.

He happened to see the scene where Long Mohan grabbed Ji Anni just now, and thought that the two of them had an argument.

Ji Anni and Long Mohan looked towards the door and found Prince Ming and Yizhen standing together.

Prince Ming was full of hostility towards Yizhen yesterday, so why did he become so close to her today? Long Mohan looked at them in confusion.

"...Yizhen will take Prince Ming out now." After Yizhen said this, she pulled Prince Ming out of the door.

Prince Ming was stunned and followed Yizhen like a puppet.

Yizhen turned around and walked towards the yard, subconsciously covering her chest, feeling a little breathless. She was sensitive and had already sensed from the scene just now that the atmosphere between Long Mohan and Ji Anni had become different from before...
