Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 227: Rose Stone Transmission

"Yun Zhen...is that you? Is it really you?" Ji Anni looked around, but still did not see Yun Zhen's shadow, so she became more certain that the voice she heard was just a Taoist method like "telepathy".

"My lady, this is a sound transmission technique using a rose stone as a medium. Some of my spiritual power is attached to the rose stone. You must preserve it well."

"Yeah." Ji Anni responded softly, and held the gem tightly against her heart through her clothes, and her whole body felt warm.

"My lady, are you injured? You smell very bloody... What happened?"

The gem could not only transmit sound, but also Ji Annie's emotions and physical condition.

Facing Yun Zhen's concerned questioning, Ji Anni just shook her head weakly and said softly, "I don't know... I can't remember anything. Shui Congfei and I went to the Demon Temple and saw a room with a huge lock. When Shui Congfei was about to open the lock, my body started to heat up, and then I didn't know anything... Yun Zhen, do you know that room in the Demon Temple?"

Since Yun Zhen is the Imperial Master, he should have some knowledge of the monster legends in the palace. To Ji Anni's disappointment, Yun Zhen did not tell her the answer directly, but warned her: "My queen, you must never go to the Demon Temple again."

"Why?" It's okay for her not to go to the Demon-Suppressing Temple, but she must know the reason.

Otherwise, I always feel that Yun Zhen is deliberately hiding something from me.

"My queen, please don't ask too much. I will tell you everything after I return to the palace."

In fact, Yun Zhen had already guessed Ji Anni's identity as a fox demon, and sealed in the room of the Demon Temple was the fox bead left after the fox concubine was burned three years ago.

Yun Zhen didn't dare tell Ji Anni the truth, because he was afraid that Ji Anni would not be able to bear such a cruel reality after knowing it.

If I tell her now, it will only make her fall into endless fear and tension. At least wait until I return to the palace to be with her, and then slowly tell her the truth. This way I can comfort her and encourage her.

"Yun Zhen, who... who am I?" Even if Yun Zhen didn't say it, Ji Anni had already guessed it herself.

As early as when Prince Ming transformed after drinking, she had doubted her identity. When she followed Shui Furong to the Demon Temple twice and experienced changes both times, she knew even more clearly that Zhao Ji was not an ordinary human being, and that she, who was living in Zhao Ji's body, was also like Zhao Ji, with the blood of some demons and monsters flowing in her body, which was why she would undergo changes again and again.

Ji Anni asked so directly that Yun Zhen was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether he should answer.

Ji Anni, who had been waiting for Yun Zhen's reply for a long time, couldn't help but ask again: "Yun Zhen, tell me... am I a monster?"

This time she asked more clearly. If Yun Zhen remained silent, it would mean that he agreed with her guess.

"My queen, please don't let your imagination run wild. Let's discuss everything after I come back, okay?" Yun Zhen heard the sob in her voice, and his heart ached as well.

"Yunzhen, I... I'm a little scared..." Ji Anni sniffed and wanted to cry but couldn't.

The deep night enveloped her, and everything she saw was pitch black, without a trace of light.

In such an environment, it seemed that even the heart was dyed into a black coal ball, sinking heavily in the chest.

"Empress..." Yun Zhen didn't know what to say. Why was he outside the palace at this moment? Why couldn't he hug her thin shoulders at this moment?

"Yun Zhen, I'm so tired and I want to sleep. Please promise me that you will come into my dream tonight... I want to see you..."

Even if it is just an illusion that cannot be touched or perceived in a dream, I still want to see you.

Use it to find the last glimmer of hope and the courage to stay strong.

It's too lonely to be alone, without someone to share secrets with. And there are too many mysteries around me. I don't know my past, and I don't know what will happen in the future, so I don't know how to deal with it now.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni felt more and more dizzy and her body temperature gradually dropped.

The moment Ji Anni closed her eyes, it was as if the power to the TV was suddenly cut off. All the images and sounds disappeared in just a short moment, leaving only a very quiet world and a screen that turned black with a "pop".

"Empress! Empress!..." Yun Zhen's anxious cries became weaker and weaker, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely.

The sound transmission technique was transmitted directly to Ji Anni's consciousness through the rose stone. After Ji Anni lost consciousness, it no longer worked.

In fact, Yun Zhen felt a terrible demonic aura shrouding Ji Anni as early as the moment Ji Anni turned into a fox in the Demon Temple, but before he could react, Ji Anni's consciousness was completely controlled by the demon fox and she could not hear his call. Later, Ji Anni was slashed by Shui Furong and slowly turned back to human form, but she was still unable to sense Yun Zhen's voice because of her deep coma. Only when Ji Anni was taken to Qingle Palace by Shui Furong and her body recovered a little, did she finally hear Yun Zhen's call.

That night, Ji Annie's wish did not come true, and no miracle happened in her dream.

She was so tired that she lost even the ability to dream.

Later, Shui Furong came back and saw Ji Anni lying on the ground in a daze. She thought something had happened to her. She hurried over to check her breath and found that she was just asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Ji Anni was already asleep, Shui Furong couldn't bear to wake her up, so she dragged her to bed.

After settling Ji Anni down, Shui Furong herself was already exhausted.

After she changed into clean clothes, she fell asleep next to Ji Anni.

The next day, the sky brightened early and the warm sunlight poured into the room through the window.

In the room, Ji Anni and Shui Furong curled up together, like two puppies snuggling together for warmth in the cold winter, they leaned against each other so tightly that they were almost hugging each other.

Ji Anni blinked her eyes and woke up in a daze. She heard voices coming from a distance, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. She just felt intuitively that they were guards or something like that.

Ji Anni rubbed her eyes, sat up from the bed, and suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar room. After a brief surprise, she immediately recalled what Shui Furong said last night, that this was Qingle Palace in Xian Palace, which was the residence of Concubine Yu.

"Woo..." At this time, a whimper came from Ji Annie's legs, and something under the quilt slowly moved.

"Shui Congfei?" Ji Anni looked down and realized that Shui Furong was sleeping in the same bed with her.

They were originally covered with one quilt, but when Ji Anni suddenly sat up, cold wind rushed in through the gap. Shui Furong, who had not yet woken up, was afraid of the cold, so she instinctively leaned towards Ji Anni, the source of heat, and even opened her arms and hugged Ji Anni tightly as if she were a heater.

"Wow." Ji Anni was startled and reflexively dodged backwards.

As she dodged, the wooden bed shook violently, waking Shui Furong up. Although she was awake, she was still a little dazed. She sobbed and asked, "What's wrong..."

"Shui Congfei, it's dawn, get up quickly." Ji Anni called Shui Furong in her most gentle voice.

No matter how gentle her voice was, Shui Furong was still frightened when she suddenly heard a stranger talking.

With a scream of "Ah", Shui Furong's upper body bounced up with a "snap" as if it was equipped with a spring.

"Shui Congfei, calm down, calm down, it's me, it's me."

Ji Anni tried her best to place the close-up of her face straight in Shui Furong's sight.

Fortunately, I am a woman, so even if I sleep with Shui Furong for three days and three nights, it will still be innocent.

"Concubine Zhao..." Shui Furong recognized Ji Anni. Her confused consciousness gradually recovered and she scratched her hair.

It would have been fine if she didn't grab it, but once she did, Ji Anni's attention was drawn to her hair.

Although Water Lotus is usually beautiful, cold and arrogant, with an air of superiority, this look, just after waking up, makes her look as sloppy as if she had just crawled out of the bushes, with only a few leaves lacking to decorate her weedy hair.

What’s even more interesting is that there is a strand of hair hanging down on each side of the water lotus’ head, just like the two long whiskers on a cockroach’s head.

It is quite difficult to make the hair so symmetrical without any subjective factors.

"Pfft...Haha." Ji Anni couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Zhao Congfei, what are you laughing at?" Shui Furong looked at Ji Anni in confusion, not knowing that she was the laughing point. After being stunned for two seconds, she finally reacted, and angrily lifted the quilt, wrapped Ji Anni in the quilt, and forbade her to look at her again.

"Mmm, let me out, Mizuki, I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me out."

Ji Anni struggled with her hands and feet inside the quilt, and the wooden bed began to shake violently with a creaking sound.

If the noise continued, the bed would probably collapse, so Shui Furong released Ji Anni for the sake of the general situation.

"I'm so mad. I spent so much effort to save you last night, and after I saved you, all you did was laugh at me." Shui Furong jumped off the bed angrily and looked around for a comb to comb her hair.

"Didn't I admit my mistake..." Ji Anni muttered quietly, knowing that she was in the wrong. No matter how funny Shui Furong looked just now, she couldn't laugh so honestly, because it was the biggest insult to a lady. Fortunately, she didn't say the three words "cockroach head", otherwise she would have to go to hell to meet her ancestors in a very filial way.

"Concubine Zhao Congfei, does your wound still hurt?" Shui Furong was very concerned about Ji Anni's injury.

If Shui Furong hadn't said it, Ji Anni would have almost forgotten that she had been injured.
