Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 179 The End of This Life

Looking at the pink dots flying around, Ji Anni's eyes were already filled with tears.

Yun Zhen still held Baoer's cold body tightly, but could no longer speak.

There is no need to say more at this moment. Who has betrayed whom? Who can tell clearly?

When Concubine Baogui was bitten by a poisonous snake in prison, she could have called for help, but she chose to remain silent.

Silence is death.

In fact, before this, Concubine Baogui had already chosen death for herself. The reason why she attacked the Queen Mother was that she wanted to come to the dungeon to see Yun Zhen for the last time, say the last words to him, and then die quietly beside him, where he was.

Going back in time, when she wrote her last words and asked Xiaoyao to deliver them to Xianke Pavilion, she had already made up her mind to commit suicide. However, Xiaoyao's delay in returning made her worried, and she delayed her suicide.

Time went on, when she gave her body to Yun Zhen, when she knew she was pregnant with a dragon fetus, when she clearly realized that it was impossible for her to escape from the palace in this life...

She had already given up the idea of ​​living and only wanted to indulge herself, love heartily, and then die happily.

Even if it was just one night, even if it was just a brief lingering, even if it was just the madness of committing suicide like a moth to a flame...

However, this is the choice she has no regrets in her life.

The person who loves Baoer the most is Yun Zhen. His love is silent, deep, forbearing, painful, firm and persistent.

But there is something missing, a little less of one's own opinion and the desire to possess the loved one.

If he had been able to escape with her regardless of everything ten years ago, could all this have been rewritten?

But he didn't, he chose silence and patience, watching her silently and respecting all her choices.

Even though she was getting farther and farther away from him, he just watched silently and protected her...

When I see her smile, I feel happy; when I see her cry, I feel doubly sad.

But this time was different, what he saw was her death.

"Baoer, it's the end..." Yun Zhen whispered softly in Baoer's ear, as gentle and tender as ever.

The end...

The end of Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, the end of the ten-year vow.

The end of life and death, the end of everything...

It's time to end it, Boa...

The long wait, the endless pain, the torture of being together but not being able to love each other, everything should...end.

A thin light slowly emanated from Yun Zhen's body, like the light snow in early winter, accompanied by swirling tender red, slowly rising up.

"Yun Zhen? ... Yun Zhen?" Ji Anni touched Yun Zhen's shoulder, not knowing what the scene in front of her meant.

Yun Zhen didn't answer him, but just curled up and hugged Baoer tighter and tighter.

The white light emanating from his body became thicker and heavier, like a thick fog that enveloped his entire body.

Kang Xiaorong had been standing a little distance away without saying a word. After seeing this scene, he walked towards Ji Anni silently.

Ji Anni was a little dazed and subconsciously pushed Yun Zhen, just hoping to evoke a response from him.

But everything was in vain. Yun Zhen's consciousness seemed to no longer belong to this world and he was immersed in endless grief.

His silver hair became almost transparent under the white light.

no no……

Ji Anni suddenly had a bad premonition. She felt that the white light was Yun Zhen's life breath.

As the white light drifted away like snow, Yun Zhen's life also gradually left his body and merged into the void...

"Yunzhen! Yunzhen!" Ji Anni's voice became anxious.

She subconsciously grabbed his arm tightly, hoping to bring him back to reality from this out-of-body state.

"Empress." Kang Xiaorong came over and squatted beside Ji Anni.

Ji Anni asked in a panic, "Major General, what happened to him? What happened to him?"

Kang Xiaorong replied calmly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has no desire to live, so let him go quietly. Your Majesty, this is not your fault, you have done well enough. It is their own bad luck and fate that they are destined not to be together. Since living is torture, it is better to let them both reincarnate and continue their relationship in the next life."

"What?" It was as if a thunderbolt was about to strike, and Ji Anni's heart almost stopped beating.

"Empress..." Kang Xiaorong wanted to help Ji Anni up from the ground.

Ji Anni pushed him away with a palm and rushed towards Yun Zhen, saying, "Yun Zhen, Yun Zhen! Answer me! Answer me!"

"Empress." Kang Xiaorong frowned and tried to pull Ji Anni away forcibly.

But Ji Anni pushed him away again, grabbed Yun Zhen's shoulders tightly with both hands, and shook them continuously.

"Yun Zhen! Answer me! You can't die! You can't die!"

My heart ached so much that it felt like it was about to break. The white light floating before my eyes was like clouds and fog, so unreal that it seemed like a vague dream.

Yun Zhen is committing suicide, his life is slowly disappearing...

But he could only watch him transform into light, powerless to do anything.

Tears could not flow out because of excessive tension and fear, and only the pale face proved Ji Annie's panic at the moment.

As she shouted at the top of her lungs, Yun Zhen finally raised her head slowly.

He looked at the grief-stricken Ji Anni and smiled faintly as usual.

That smile was like an illusion, making Ji Anni suddenly feel dazed.

It was as if nothing painful had ever happened, as if everything was just a nightmare that came out of nothing.

If this is true, how wonderful it would be. If this is true... how wonderful it would be...

But Yun Zhen's increasingly transparent body and her face as pale as clouds and smoke clearly told Ji Anni that this was not a dream. If she didn't stop it, Yun Zhen would disappear from this world and from her sight just like Baogui Fei.

"Yun Zhen? Yun Zhen... don't die, I beg you... don't die..."

Ji Anni blinked her eyes, her eyes were sore from pain.

Yun Zhen shook his head gently, and said calmly in a voice that almost blended into the night wind: "I promised her that I would always be with her... No matter where she goes, I will accompany her... She is afraid of loneliness, she can't go alone..."

"No... Yun Zhen..."

Looking at Yun Zhen's serious expression, Ji Anni's voice could hardly come out of her stiff throat.

Every syllable she spoke was hoarse, and sounded like a file, filing into the listener's heart bit by bit.

She suddenly grabbed Yun Zhen's hand, but her eyes did not look at her hand. Instead, she looked into Yun Zhen's cloudy eyes and said, "Yun Zhen, have you forgotten? I am also a person, a person who was pulled into this world by you... I should be more lonely and lonely than Bao Niangniang... But why do you never look at me?... Even if it's just sympathy, can you take a good look at me?... It was you who brought me into this world... But now, are you going to abandon me?"

The hand that was holding Yun Zhen's wrist suddenly exerted force. Ji Anni grabbed Yun Zhen's hand, lifted it up and said, "Yun Zhen, have you forgotten?... You also promised me that you would stay by my side forever... Look, the wound on your hand hasn't healed yet, do you want to deny it?"

Back then, when Yun Zhen was forced to swear an oath of blood in Pianyou Courtyard, the wound left by that time still remains faintly on Yun Zhen's hand.

Like a piece of evidence, it proved and reminded Yun Zhen of another promise he made to Ji Anni.

Yun Zhen's smile disappeared, his expression became silent, and his cloudy eyes gradually gathered a clear focus. He stared at Ji Anni's face without blinking, which was more heartbreaking than crying.

He remembered what he had said and what he had promised Ji Anni.

That’s right…the wound that was cut hasn’t healed yet. Am I going to break my promise again?

Ji Anni suddenly shook off Yun Zhen's hand, wiped her eyes and said, "Yun Zhen, if you die today, you will be a useless man! Because you never keep your word! You didn't fulfill your promise to Baogui Fei, and you didn't fulfill your promise to me! You didn't take your words seriously at all! You are a liar, everything you say is a lie!"

"No..." Yun Zhen shook his head in a daze, his thoughts suddenly becoming confused.

He even recalled the scene when he made a promise to Baoer ten years ago.

He also recalled the time when he was in the right courtyard and promised Ji Anni that he would always be with her.

Ji Anni and Bao Er's figures suddenly overlapped...

He couldn't tell who the figure in front of him was, nor who the voice in his ear was.

Ji Anni's questioning was just like Baoer's questioning. They asked themselves painfully why what they had said could be ignored.

"No, what I said is true..." Yun Zhen looked a little anxious, as if he wanted to defend himself.

He had never thought of deceiving Baoer, nor had he ever thought of deceiving Ji Anni, but why...

Why can't I keep the promises I made to them? Why!

"Yun Zhen..." Ji Anni stood up. She thought she had been so sad that her legs were weak, but she still stood up like a miracle. "Yun Zhen, I believe in you very much. I have always believed in you. Just like Baogui Fei believed in you for ten years, I can also believe in you for ten years, or even longer. But what about you? Do you want to give up? Do you want to break the contract?"

Yun Zhen was speechless. He just stared blankly at the sad and serious Ji Anni, shaking his head continuously as if he was eager to prove something.

But Ji Anni suddenly turned around and ran away, running back the way she came.

Flowers were still flying like butterflies on the road, circling endlessly, and a thin layer of light red had already accumulated on the ground...

"Empress!" Kang Xiaorong shouted and led the horse to chase after her.

After chasing for about a hundred steps, he finally caught up with Ji Anni.

Kang Xiaorong grabbed her and asked, "My Lady, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly run away?"

Ji Anni turned her back to Kang Xiaorong and lowered her head and said, "I know he must want to accompany Bao Niangniang...but I took advantage of his kindness and didn't allow him to do what he wanted...He can't die, he must be very sad now..."

"Aren't you going back to comfort him?" Kang Xiaorong asked.

"No..." Ji Anni shook her head. "He must want to cry, but he can't cry when I'm here... He should have a good cry in a place where no one knows and no one can see."

He was so sad, but he never shed a tear and even comforted himself with a smile.

In fact, when Ji Anni saw Yun Zhen smile just now, the sadness in her heart was no less than when she learned of the death of Concubine Baogui.

At this moment, the sound of Kang Xiaorong's footsteps leading the horse gradually away was suddenly heard behind him.

Ji Anni suddenly turned around and glared at him threateningly. She thought Kang Xiaorong wanted to go back to the Shangshu Mansion to report the news.

Kang Xiaorong seemed to sense Ji Anni's gaze and turned around almost at the same time.

"What do you want to do?" Ji Anni asked a little frantically.

Kang Xiaorong lightly jumped onto the horse's back, pulled the reins and said, "If you don't want to do anything, leave for a while."

"Why?" Ji Anni pressed on.

Kang Xiaorong asked back with a relaxed expression, "Because if I were here, wouldn't the queen not be able to cry anymore?"

Then, he repeated what Ji Anni had just said, "My Lady, you should also have a good cry... In this place where no one knows and no one can see..."

After saying that, Kang Xiaorong pulled the reins and slowly turned into a small path nearby.

Ji Anni yelled at his receding figure, "Who said I was going to cry? You conceited idiot!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, tears began to flow out.

Ji Anni refused to admit defeat and sobbed softly, "Stupid, who said I was going to cry... who said I was going to cry..."

But the tears that could not be wiped away from her face made her realize that the most arrogant person was not Yun Zhen, but herself.

What’s the point even if I force Yun Zhen to survive?

Yun Zhen belongs to Concubine Baogui. No matter whether Concubine Baogui is dead or alive, Yun Zhen will always belong to Concubine Baogui...

I can’t win, I can’t grab, and I can’t afford to love.
