Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 26 Return to the Concubine's Palace

In fact, it wasn't far from the Concubine Palace to the Renhe Palace. In the morning, Ji Anni and Xiao Shunzi ran for ten minutes to get there. But now, Ji Anni dragged her exhausted body alone, and her legs were as stiff as iron bars, so it was extremely painful to walk. It took a full hour before she finally saw the gate of the Concubine Palace.

If Ji Anni hadn't been so obsessed with meeting Yun Zhen, she would have fainted on the road long ago.

As soon as I walked to the door of the Concubine Palace, I saw Yizhen coming over.

"Xiao Zhao." Yizhen saw that Ji Anni was dying, so she hurried forward to support her and asked, "Xiao Zhao, what happened to you? Why are you so tired?"

"Oh, don't mention it, don't mention it..." Ji Anni waved her hand, not wanting to think about it at all. That Princess Tianning, she was really furious when she thought about her.

Ji Anni's whole body seemed to be limp and she leaned on Yizhen. Yizhen had to use a lot of effort to help her up to the front porch of the Concubine's Palace.

It was not early now, the moon had already risen, and all the rooms in the concubine's palace were closed.

I guess the concubines are tired after a day of training and want to rest early.

"By the way, Yizhen, why don't you rest in the room?" Ji Anni remembered that just as she stepped into the gate of the concubine's palace, she saw Yizhen walking out, as if she wanted to go somewhere.

Yizhen said, "I saw that you hadn't come back yet so late, so I was just about to go out and look for you."

Ji Anni was very touched when she heard this. No matter how much she was humiliated by Princess Tianning outside, as long as she returned to Concubine Palace, she still had Yizhen, her good sister. Suddenly, she felt warm in her heart. She sniffed. Oh no, she wanted to cry again. When did she become so sentimental?

"Yizhen, thank you." Ji Anni said softly.

Yizhen was slightly surprised, then she laughed: "Xiao Zhao, I should be the one to say thank you. Last night, you confronted Concubine Shui Cong for me, and I was scared and touched. Xiao Zhao, you are really strange... After entering the harem, everyone is cautious and doesn't want to offend anyone, but you are always careless and cause trouble."

"Ah..." Ji Anni sighed deeply, "I don't want to either. It's just that I was born with this bad habit."

She couldn't bear to see her friends suffer, nor could she stand the bad temper of a shrewd girl. Although she didn't have any backing, she loved to take the lead. Ji Anni was extremely distressed by this character trait of hers.

But Zhen suddenly said very seriously: "Xiao Zhao, I like you just like this."

"Huh?" Yizhen's sudden remark startled Ji Anni.

Yizhen whispered, "Because I know... I can never be like you, saying whatever I want to say, doing whatever I want to do. I... I envy you so much, but... I can never be you. So I like Xiao Zhao like this. I can see a lot of things in you that I can only admire but can never learn."

"Alas, I want to be like you..." Ji Anni didn't think she had anything to look up to. Instead, she looked like Yizhen, with her sweet smile and delicate body, which easily aroused others' desire to protect her. Being a woman should be like this to gain an advantage.

"By the way, Xiaozhao, there is a guest in your room." Yizhen said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ji Anni was stunned. Guests?

In an instant, Yun Zhen's face appeared again.

Did Yun Zhen really come to visit her? She looked up at the moon in the sky again... Ji Anni suddenly became disappointed. The harem was not like other places. Although Yun Zhen was a cultivator, he was still a man. How could a man stay in the Concubine's Palace so late?

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Ji Anni advises herself not to have too high expectations.

So what Yizhen said next made Ji Anni truly experience what an unexpected surprise was.

Yizhen said, "Xiao Zhao, the Taoist priest has been waiting for you in the room for a long time. Aunt Yang has come many times, saying that it is getting late, and used euphemisms to persuade the Taoist priest to go back. But the Taoist priest insisted that he would not leave until he saw you. I saw that he had been waiting for too long, so I wanted to come out to look for you, but you came back just as I walked to the door. By the way, Xiao Zhao, who is that Taoist priest? How did you know him?"

"This..." Ji Anni didn't dare to tell the whole story. Because Yun Zhen had just told her today that if her impersonation of Zhao Ji was exposed, not only Ji Anni and Yun Zhen would be blamed, but also the people who knew about it would be implicated. It was for this reason that Yun Zhen concealed the matter from Baogui Fei, and now, for Yizhen's safety, Ji Anni could only keep it a secret from her.

"He brought me into the palace... Of course we know each other." Ji Anni chose to avoid the main point, only saying that Yun Zhen brought her into the palace, without mentioning things like time travel and soul possession. In her heart, she said: Yizhen, don't blame me for lying to you. It's not that I don't trust you or don't consider you a sister, but I'm thinking about your safety. Isn't it often said in martial arts movies that the more you know, the faster you die? That's the truth.

"Oh." Yizhen nodded, without thinking too much, and suddenly showed a look of longing, "That Taoist priest is so beautiful, and has silver hair. He looks like an immortal. Everyone is talking about him."

"Haha." Ji Anni could only laugh dryly.

We walked and laughed, and soon we arrived at the room.

Before Ji Anni stepped into the room, she saw a figure standing up in the room.

"Princess Zhao Cong." The voice was indeed Yun Zhen.

As soon as Ji Anni raised her head, Yun Zhen walked up to her and said, "You are finally back..."

"Oh, I'm so tired today." Ji Anni's hands and neck are still sore, but now that she sees Yun Zhen, she feels that the pain has eased a little. Yun Zhen is the best medicine for her. Even if she is angry outside, as long as she can see Yun Zhen and hear a few words of concern from him, Ji Anni feels that all the pain is relieved.

Although this may not be called love, Yun Zhen is definitely a huge psychological support for Ji Anni.

Yizhen said, "Xiao Zhao, I'll go back to my room first."

"Oh, okay." Ji Anni responded blankly.

Yizhen smiled at Yunzhen and turned to leave.

Yun Zhen smiled back at her, and after Yi Zhen turned around, he gently closed the door. He supported Ji Anni, who was so tired that she could hardly stand up, and walked to the table in the middle of the room, asking, "What happened to you? Why did you come back so late? And you are like this?"

"It's still that princess..." As soon as Ji Anni's butt touched the stool, her whole body softened and she fell limply on the table. She had a headache whenever she mentioned Princess Tianning.

"Did Tian Ning deliberately pick a fight with you?" Yun Zhen sat down next to Ji Anni and suddenly found that all ten of Ji Anni's fingers were red and swollen, as if they were burned. He hurriedly asked, "Zhao Congfei, what's wrong with your fingers?"

"I got burned by the teacup." Ji Anni looked at her fingers that looked like carrots, wanting to cry but unable to. "That day, Princess Ning deliberately asked me to hold the hot tea and refused to take it, so my hand got burned by the teacup."
