Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 421 I Love You

"Don't treat me like a fool. Don't think that just by saying Zhao Ji's name, I will obey you and accept all your requests... Imperial Master, you are just using Zhao Ji, me, and even Prince Ming to save Ji Anni..."

Long Mo was very angry and had to try hard to suppress his anger in order not to lose control.

When Yun Zhen suddenly heard all these charges, he felt like he was hit on the head with a stick, but he didn't know where he had done wrong.

Seeing Yun Zhen's lack of response, Long Mohan sneered, "Why is the Imperial Master silent? Why are you unwilling to answer whether Zhao Ji is alive or dead? You'd better think it over before answering, because if you dare to lie even a word, I will sentence you to the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Even though Long Mohan pressed him like this, Yun Zhen still did not answer, because he could not answer Long Mohan's question.

Long Mohan will not admit that Zhao Ji who is possessed by Ji Anni is Zhao Ji.

But Zhao Ji's soul has long disappeared in the dislocated time and space...

Zhao Ji is dead - is this the answer that Long Mohan wants to force Yun Zhen to admit?

"Master, when you are ready to bear the guilt of deceiving the emperor, come see me again and tell me your answer."

After leaving these words, Long Mohan hugged Prince Ming and left quickly without looking back.

Looking at his back as he left angrily, Yun Zhen's ears were buzzing, and Long Mohan's words just now echoed in his ears over and over again.

Not for Zhao Ji, but for Ji Anni. So that's it. Long Mohan was right. In his heart, Ji Anni's status was far higher than Zhao Ji. He had long forgotten to look for the real Zhao Ji, and regarded protecting Ji Anni as his duty.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen let out a dry bitter laugh, covered his face and stood there in a daze.

Suddenly I wanted to laugh out loud, laughing at myself for having mixed up the priorities and the importance of things...

If it weren't for Long Mohan's fierce words just now, Yun Zhen would still be confused and trapped in a dream.

Seeing Yun Zhen smiling foolishly and sighing, Hua Rong stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay... leave me alone for a while." Yun Zhen covered his aching head and turned back to the room.

Hua Rong gently closed the door for him and left quietly.

Yun Zhen stood in front of the bed, staring at Zhao Ji's motionless body lying on the bed.

The beautiful sleeping face is like the water lily in the pond, peaceful, serene, beautiful and pure.

Looking at her, she felt strange yet familiar.

She was strange because she was Zhao Ji, Long Mohan’s beloved; she was familiar because she was Ji Anni, who once leaned against him and cried quietly.

When did I start to forget that you are not Soji at all... You are just an actor, a lost girl who followed me into the palace to find a way home. But I gradually forgot my responsibility to send you home, and forgot my mission to find Soji...

I took your existence for granted, thought you belonged to this harem, and were suitable for the identity of Soji...

I thought you would always stay the same, and live your life in a distant way from me.

Yun Zhen sat down beside the bed and looked at the peaceful person beside him.

Suddenly I felt that the person I was seeing was no longer Ji Anni, but Zhao Ji - the Zhao Ji who had long been dead.

Perhaps this is the most natural ending. Zhao Ji should have died quietly before entering the palace.

Yun Zhen sat quietly on the edge of the bed, his body motionless, but his mind was already in chaos, like a tangled mess.

Outside the window, Ji Anni was lying in front of the window with a gloomy look on her face.

The scene of Long Mohan rushing out of the door holding Prince Ming just now, following Xue Lan's words last night, dealt her another heavy blow.

The boundary between Zhao Ji and Ji Anni is very clear, and Long Mohan's attitude is obvious enough - he simply does not recognize that Zhao Ji is still alive.

"If everyone thinks Zhao Ji is dead... then Zhao Ji should really be dead..." Ji Anni said to herself silently.

I was just worried about what I would do if Soji's body decayed and I couldn't return to her body. But at this moment, I felt that there was no need to go back.

Just let Soji disappear like this...

It won't be long before the emperor, Prince Ming, and everyone else will recover from the shock of Zhao Ji's death.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni suddenly felt that her body had become lighter again.

When he looked down, he found that his arm had gradually become transparent, and countless white lights flew out from his body and floated in the air.

This scene was very similar to the scene at the end of Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, when Yun Zhen was holding Baogui Fei, and his whole body was covered by light and almost disappeared. Kang Xiaorong said that was Yun Zhen's way of committing suicide.

Is this my way of disappearing?

Ji Anni looked around at the white light surrounding her and found the scene both beautiful and sad.

His eyes squeezed into the room through the window and fell on Yun Zhen.

Although I still miss you a little bit, but...

Goodbye, Yunzhen.

Ji Anni closed her eyes and let her body float lightly into the air.

"Empress?" As if suddenly sensing something, Yun Zhen suddenly stood up and rushed to the window.

With a loud "bang", Yun Zhen pushed the window open and looked up at the sky.

Although I couldn't see Ji Annie's figure, I could see a white light floating in the air.

This is aura...

Yun Zhen recognized that this was the light that the soul emitted before it disappeared, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Empress, is that you? Can you hear my voice?" Yun Zhen shouted into the air.

I can hear you, but I can't respond...

Ji Anni stubbornly closed her eyes, refusing to lower her head to take a last look at Yun Zhen.

I'm sorry, Yun Zhen, I don't want to be entangled by too much nostalgia at the last moment of my life, and even die in turmoil...

Maybe after death I can return to the original world, maybe when I open my eyes again, I will see my grandfather's familiar face... Try to think positively, so that you won't be too scared.

Fortunately, this way of dying is not painful and is much better than jumping off a building or crashing into a car.

"My Lady! Answer me! Answer me!"

As if sensing Ji Anni's intention to leave without saying goodbye, Yun Zhen's screams became more and more shrill, and it felt like his heart was being torn apart.

Ji Anni covered her ears tightly, not wanting to hear his disturbing voice.

"My queen, I know you are here, I know you can hear me... You are not dead yet, don't give up! Don't give up!" But no matter how Yun Zhen shouted, he could not bring back the gradually dissipating aura of Ji Annie in the air.

Seeing that the rays of light were about to be dispersed by the sunlight, Yun Zhen grabbed the windowsill tightly and was almost broken by the wooden frame of the windowsill.

His voice had become hoarse from shouting, and when he opened his mouth he could only let out a painful low cough.

"My queen, my queen... do you remember what you said to me before?" Yun Zhen lowered his head, the hair hanging from his ears covering his face, hiding his painful expression in a shadow, "My queen... you said that whenever... when I feel that I have nothing, as long as I try to hold my hands tightly, I will find... that you are still by my side..."

Yun Zhen's choking voice made Ji Anni slowly open her eyes, and tears slid down her face silently.

She still remembered this sentence. She said it to Yunzhen at Baoer's grave when he died.

Hearing it now, it seems like a lifetime ago...

"My Lady... Why is it that when I hold your hand tightly now, I find that... even you have disappeared from my side?... If I lose you again, I will really have nothing..."

Yunzhen slowly walked back to the bed and held Zhaoji's cold hand tightly.

"Come back, my lady... let me know that you are still by my side... let me know that I haven't lost you yet..."

Ji Anni in the air turned around, looked at him from afar through the window, her heart beginning to bleed.

“Your Majesty…”

Zhao Ji's cold body temperature made Yun Zhen feel extremely tormented and terrified.

He hugged Zhao Ji's body tightly, so tightly that it seemed that even a knife could not cut it.

"You once scolded me for not keeping my word, for breaking my promise to Bao'er and then breaking my promise to you... But why don't you give me a chance to fulfill my promise to you and let me continue to protect you... Queen, please... give me another chance, don't let me watch the person I love leave... Give me another chance, let me know that I can still save something... Give me another chance, let me... still hear your voice... see your smiling face..."

Ji Anni's tears flowed wildly, and the wounds on her fingertips from the blood oath began to ache again.

I used this wound to force Yun Zhen to stay with me, but now... I am the one who has broken his promise.

Yun Zhen buried his face deeply in Zhao Ji's arms, choking with sobs and saying, "You didn't allow me to die at the beginning, why are you giving up your life so easily now?"

Every word he said could tear Ji Anni to pieces.

"But, no one needs me anymore..." Ji Anni's soul slowly floated into the room and came to Yun Zhen.

Long Mohan and Xue Lan have already denied their existence, Zhao Ji is already a dead person... Why force it?

After hearing Ji Anni's voice, Yun Zhen suddenly turned around, looked at the air nervously and said: "No, Madam... I still need you, Madam, at least I still need you..."

Ji Anni began to waver and turned to look at Zhao Ji in Yun Zhen's arms, "But I don't know how to go back..."

"You can, you definitely can." Yun Zhen no longer had any power except believing in Ji Anni.

"Everyone has obviously decided to give up, why are you still forcing me?... I am not Zhao Ji in the first place, I can't hide it any longer, everyone already knows it... Why are you still forcing me?" Ji Anni was becoming more and more miserable. When she thought of Xue Lan's crying and yelling last night, and the questions that Long Mohan had asked Yun Zhen before he left, she felt like a sinner.

"My Lady, I can't lose you... I really can't lose you..."

Yun Zhen seemed to be crying, and Ji Anni could hear the hoarseness in his voice that only occurred when he was crying.

"Yun Zhen, even if you don't lose me, what else can you get? I can't replace Guibaofei..."

"You don't have to replace anyone, just continue to be yourself. My queen, why don't you understand? The person I want to stay is you, not a fake Soji, nor a fake BoA... It's you... Do you know? It's you..."
