Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Yanniang's training was indeed a little stricter than that of Aunt Yang and Aunt Yu, but not to the point of being unbearable. At least throughout the day, Yanniang had not used the "Imperial Bamboo Whip" bestowed by the Empress Dowager once. Shui Furong did have several quarrels with Yanniang, but in the end, Yanniang cleverly avoided them. Shui Furong was frustrated and gritted her teeth in anger.

It was finally approaching evening, and Yan Niang announced the end of today's training. The concubines then breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Anni and Yizhen returned to the Dong Congfei Palace. They chatted for a while and then had dinner together in Yizhen's room.

Why did they eat dinner in Yizhen's room instead of Ji Anni's room? The answer was that Yizhen's room had a lot of special snacks brought from Nanhu County, and Ji Anni was greedy, so of course she had to stay in Yizhen's room to eat.

After dinner and a shower, it was already completely dark.

The Concubine Palace was quiet again, probably everyone was resting in their own rooms. Only Yizhen's room was relatively lively, because Ji Anni was still there chatting with her. From flowers and plants to the weather, and then from the weather to the garden, anyway, they talked about anything they thought of, and talked about everything, and talked happily. Finally, as they chatted, the topic turned to Yan Niang.

Yizhen asked Ji Anni how she knew Yanniang, and Ji Anni had to tell Yizhen about Zhaoji's previous performance in Xianghonglou. Who knew that Yizhen actually cried after hearing it, saying that Zhaoji was pitiful, living by performing with a five-year-old child, and the child's father was the emperor, but Zhaoji was doing the most low-class job.

While crying, Yizhen actually hugged Ji Anni and comforted her: "Xiao Zhao, everything is over. You finally entered the palace... The little prince also got the status he deserved..."

At this moment, Ji Anni suddenly realized that Zhao Ji was herself.

When I was telling the story of Zhao Ji's performing arts just now, I felt like I was telling someone else's story, and it didn't feel real at all.

Alas... Thinking of this, Ji Anni sighed again, thinking that Zhaoji's story was originally someone else's story, Zhaoji's child was originally someone else's child, and Zhaoji's husband was originally someone else's husband.

Ji Anni really had no interest in Zhao Ji's husband and children.

The little prince was taken away by Concubine An after only seeing her once on the first day in the palace. What about my husband...even more hateful, there is no trace of him, and I don't know which concubine he is hanging out with every night.

Forget it, it’s better not to think about a man like this.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Anni was shocked, thinking that Shui Furong was causing trouble for Yizhen again and wanted to change rooms. So Ji Anni hurriedly said to Yizhen, "If it's Shui Furong, don't say anything, I'll deal with her."

Seeing Ji Anni so nervous and serious, Yizhen couldn't help but smile. That smile was to express her gratitude and to calm Ji Anni's excitement, so that she wouldn't be too impulsive. After the knock on the door sounded twice, Yizhen asked outside, "Who is it?"

Ji Anni took a deep breath and entered the first level of preparation. She was just waiting for Shui Furong to agree, and then she would scold her so much that she dared not enter the door.

Unexpectedly, the voice coming from outside the door was not Shui Furong's.

"It's me, Yanniang."

Oh my god...it's Yan Niang...

Ji Anni and Yizhen looked at each other, and the same question arose in their minds: What is Yanniang doing here?

"Aunt, please wait a moment. Yizhen will open the door soon." Yizhen said as she stood up and walked towards the door.

When the door opened, Yan Niang was standing outside alone, with a faint smile on her face. Her makeup was thick and greasy, and it didn't seem like anything during the day, but at night, under the moonlight, she looked even more charming and attractive, like a fairy who was specially designed to seduce people. If Ji Anni and Yizhen were men, they would have been seduced by Yan Niang's smile. Fortunately, they were both women and were relatively immune to Yan Niang.

I only heard Yizhen politely ask, "Aunt, it's so late, do you have anything to talk to Yizhen about?"

"It's okay, I came to see how your place is." Yan Niang said as she walked into the room. Only then did she notice that there was another Ji Anni in the room, so she raised her eyebrows slightly and said in surprise, "So sister Zhao Ji is here too..."

Ji Anni hurriedly bowed and said, "I greet Yanniang."

She did not forget what Yan Niang said, that Zhao Ji always called herself "concubine" in the past, so she used this name on purpose this time.

Unexpectedly, Yanniang laughed after hearing this, and walked to Ji Anni and said, "Well, you don't have to tell me specifically. Just say whatever comes to your mind. You look like a little girl, and it's awkward to use the word "concubine". Sister Zhaoji, I don't know if Yanniang is suspicious. Now you are not as gentle and charming as before, just like a wild girl. I have heard about your deeds from other concubines, and I can't believe that you did all those things."

After a short pause, Yan Niang had already moved very close, her lips almost touching Ji Anni's ear, and blew the last words into Ji Anni's ear with her breath: "Sister Zhao Ji... are you... possessed by evil spirits?"

Ji Anni shuddered and dodged to the side, saying hastily, "Xiao Zhao is not possessed by evil spirits. She was born like this. Maybe she suffered too much misfortune and was too depressed in the past, so her personality changed. Now that she has finally returned to the palace, she is in a good mood and her personality has naturally become cheerful..."

Not knowing if she could get away with it, Ji Anni had to just make up something.

Fortunately, Yan Niang had no intention of dwelling on this issue. She withdrew her gaze from Ji Anni, slowly walked around the room twice with a strange expression on her face.

Yizhen came forward and asked, "Auntie...is there something wrong with this room?"

Hearing this, Yanniang retracted her gaze and smiled at Yizhen, "No, nothing. I just suddenly remembered something that happened many years ago."

Yizhen asked, "What's the matter?"

Although Ji Anni didn't ask, she was very curious and couldn't help but prick up her ears.

I only heard Yan Niang say: "I don't know if you have heard of this. Three years ago, a concubine became pregnant with a dragon fetus. But the day after the little prince was born, the concubine died in her room."

Ji Anni thought, isn’t this the story I just heard from Concubine Baogui not long ago?

Yizhen also remembered it and nodded, "I've heard it."

At this moment, Yanniang's expression suddenly became a little sad, but in the sadness, there seemed to be some other emotions hidden. Ji Anni had been watching Yanniang's expression closely, but still couldn't understand what kind of thoughts and secrets were hidden in Yanniang's slightly frowned eyebrows. In Yanniang's words just now, it seemed that the concept of "three years ago" was mentioned. Ji Anni was a little confused... Why do I keep hearing the time "three years ago" recently? Is everything just a coincidence?

Just as she was thinking, she saw Yanniang shift her gaze to the bed in Yizhen's room and pointed at it, saying, "I still remember that three years ago...the Concubine passed away while lying on this bed."

"What?" Yizhen and Ji Anni exclaimed at the same time and hugged each other subconsciously.

It turns out that Yizhen’s room was the room of the concubine three years ago?

omg...

Yizhen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She couldn't believe that she had slept for so many days in a place where a dead person had slept...
