Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Yun Ji was the only one in the room, so there was no doubt that the voice came from him.

At first glance, the words "Don't come over" don't sound like anything, but when you listen to them again, they seem a bit frightened, and if you listen carefully, you can hear them trembling.

What could be so terrifying that could scare the knowledgeable Yun Ji like this?

Nan Yingzhi frowned, worried that something might happen inside: "Yunji, what's wrong? Why don't you let me in?"

As if he didn't understand what Nan Yingzhi was asking, Yun Ji answered irrelevantly, his voice becoming more and more shrill: "Don't come over!"

Thinking back to the last time she went to the toilet in the carriage, Nan Yi wanted to come in and she was very resistant. Nan Yingzhi put herself in Yun Ji's shoes and understood that Yun Ji might be doing something that was not convenient for her to see.

Afraid of irritating Yunji, Nan Yingzhi paused, her shadow stuck at the threshold: "Okay, I won't come over."

Perhaps he understood that she was not coming in, so Yun Ji didn't say anything else.

Thinking that Yun Ji said that she was not allowed to enter, but did not say that she was not allowed to look, Nan Yingzhi took advantage of the hazy moonlight, stretched her neck, widened her eyes, and tried hard to look inside.

Yun Ji was seen holding his head with his hands, looking like a frightened bird, his eyes fixed on the threshold.

What's on the threshold?

Nan Yingzhi didn't understand and looked down.

The shadow is an appendage of its master. When Nan Yingzhi moves, her shadow naturally moves with her.

When the Imperial Master went out and Yun Ji was the only one left in the palace, he was reminded of the past events in Anhui Palace.

Overly sweet food, basins of water with oil splashing out of them, and a threshold that seems like the dividing line between the human world and the underworld.

The first two are no longer there, but what can still be seen is the mottled threshold.

Yun Ji was trembling and moved his eyes over there. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared on the lonely threshold.

Mistaking the shadow for his mother, he felt suffocated, as if he was buried in a basin of water and couldn't breathe.

Fear enveloped Yun Ji tightly, and he warned Shadow: "Don't come over!"

The shadow seemed to have consciousness and stopped moving.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the shadow started to move around again, and Yun Ji couldn't help but tremble all over.

Wanting to yell at the shadow to leave, Yun Ji spoke again: "Get out!"

Feeling that Yunji was not in a good state, as if she was trapped in some painful memories, she could not hear any sound from the outside world, and could only see her shadow projected on the threshold. Nan Yingzhi knocked on the door and shouted, "Yunji, it's me, Nan Yingzhi!"

Frightened by the madly moving black shadow, Yun Ji was stunned and speechless.

"Don't be silent at this critical moment," Nan Yingzhi threatened, eager to wake Yun Ji from his strange state, "If you don't say anything, I'm coming in!"

As she spoke, she pretended to move forward, and as expected, the shadow moved with her.

Seeing Nan Yingzhi was about to come in, Yun Ji became very emotional. He stood up suddenly as if he was going to run away.

Due to excessive blood loss and rising too quickly, Yun Ji felt dizzy and fell forward.

Nan Yingzhi kept an eye on the situation inside. She was afraid that Yun Ji might fall and hit his head, so she rushed in and hugged him.

The feeling of being restrained reminded Yun Ji of the time when his mother lifted him by the back of his neck and carried him to the basin of water with helplessness.

Even though he had no strength left, he still struggled hard, shouting, "Don't touch me!"

“Hey, don’t move.” For some reason, when Yun Ji was touched, he struggled violently as if he was going to be beaten. Nan Yingzhi carefully adjusted the angle and hugged Yun Ji, saying helplessly, “If you don’t hold him like this, can you stand steadily!”

Maybe it was because of discomfort or exhaustion, Yun Ji's voice became lower, but his hands started scratching without warning.

Unexpectedly, he stretched out his claws to grab her, and the angle was tricky. Nan Yingzhi couldn't dodge in time and was cut several times.

The cut may be too deep, cutting the subcutaneous blood vessels and causing blood to appear in the wound.

Fortunately, Nan Yingzhi's skin is thick now, so this minor injury is not painful.

Not daring to transport Yunji violently, nor letting him fall to the ground, Nan Yingzhi tied his hands and slowly moved him onto a chair.

Noticing that Yun Ji seemed to be in a nightmare and was trembling all over, Nan Yingzhi put Yun Ji on her lap and rocked him gently like a mother coaxing her child to sleep in a TV show.

This action was extremely gentle, and Yun Ji felt as if a refreshing sea breeze was caressing his face. His breathing slowed down and he gradually calmed down.

His originally distracted eyes slowly focused and he looked at Nan Yingzhi in confusion.

"Yun Ji," Nan Yingzhi stopped shaking Yun Ji because she was worried that he would get dizzy if she shook him for too long. She looked at him and said, "Do you still recognize me? I am Nan Yingzhi."

Seeing the scars on Nan Yingzhi's hands, chaotic memories flooded into Yun Ji's mind. He covered his still aching head and barely woke up: "Well, you are Nan Yingzhi, you are..."

After repeating these five words three times, Yun Ji suddenly stopped talking and muttered to himself: "What did I do just now? How did your hand get hurt? I can't quite remember it."

Minrui saw everything Yunji did, and Nan Yingzhi began to have doubts again.

"I can't quite remember"? Could it be that Yun Ji didn't have that memory?

Feeling that Yun Ji's mental state was fragile and he could not stand the stimulation, Nan Yingzhi did not say much. She shook her sleeves to cover her hands and said in a relaxed tone: "You are like a cat, scratching people."

Yun Ji stared at the blocked area, as if he was trying to see the wound through his sleeve.

He carefully placed his hand around Nan Yingzhi's wound and said in a dry voice, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, just a little skin breakage." Nan Yingzhi calmly pushed Yun Ji's hand away and changed the subject, "But, what happened to you just now?"

As if his most secret wound had been touched, Yun Ji lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

During the time when he remained silent, Nan Yingzhi was thinking rapidly about the relationship between An Hui Palace and Yun Ji.

This Anhui Palace has been deserted for many years, but Yun Ji has trusted it so much that it serves as a meeting place...

"Excuse me," Nan Yingzhi said to break the silence in order to confirm her guess, "Is this where your mother lives?"

The secret was revealed, Yun Ji's whole body trembled, and he nodded with difficulty, as if all his strength was exhausted.

Nan Yingzhi finally wanted to know, does he have a crazy mother?

What's even more embarrassing is that he actually did something to hurt Nan Yingzhi and he has lost all his memory.

Not knowing how to face Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ji avoided her sight: "Sorry, I wasn't sober just now, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Nan Yingzhi had a hunch that something had happened here in the past that had left a deep shadow on Yun Ji, and unfortunately, this shadow seemed to have never been resolved.

Otherwise, Yun Ji wouldn't be in the state he is in today, unable to hear others speak and immersed in pain.

Psychological problems may seem minor, but they can actually be life-threatening.

Nan Yingzhi realized that she had forgotten to ask the Imperial Master whether her life and Yun Ji's were connected, and her eyes gradually became serious.

This shadow seemed to have troubled Yun Ji for a long time, but Yun Ji was unwilling to see a doctor. There was no such thing as a psychologist in ancient times, so dragging it on like this was not a solution.

The best way to overcome fear is to face it.

"I know. I don't blame you." Nan Yingzhi was worried that the next words would irritate Yun Ji, so she placed her hand on the back of Yun Ji's hand. "It may be a bit presumptuous to say this, but can you tell me what happened between you and your mother back then?"
