Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Ji Anni and Yizhen were both trembling with fear, but Yanniang didn't care. She smiled and continued, "After the death of the concubine three years ago, this room has been haunted for a while. Even the Empress Bao was possessed by a ghost, but fortunately, Taoist Master Yun Zhen later drove away the evil spirit, and peace returned to the palace."

"This... this room is haunted?" Ji Annie is not afraid of anything except supernatural phenomena.

Suddenly I remembered that Shui Furong wanted to switch rooms with Yizhen a few days ago. I wonder if Shui Furong knew about the legend that this room was haunted? If she knew, she probably wouldn't have the courage to switch rooms, right?

"Haunted?" Yan Niang raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "It was haunted before, but it probably isn't haunted now. Don't be afraid, the wronged ghost was exorcised three years ago. I just came here to take a look tonight..."

You can just walk around casually, there's no need to tell such scary ghost stories to scare people, right?

It’s okay if I don’t know. Once I know, how will I sleep in this room from now on?

Ji Anni glanced at Yizhen, whose legs were shaking with fear. Her pupils were obviously constricted, and she stared at her bed as if she had seen a ghost. She must have been very scared.

"Yizhen, why don't you come to my room tonight? We can sleep together." Ji Anni patted Yizhen's shoulder.

But Yizhen felt something was wrong: "But I can't sleep with you forever, Xiaozhao?"

Yan Niang suggested an idea: "There are plenty of rooms in the Dong Congfei Palace. Why don't we help you change one?"

Upon hearing this, Yizhen hurriedly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, auntie. Thank you, auntie."

Yan Niang smiled and said, "Why are you so polite, Madam? Yan Niang can't bear it."

While Yizhen and Yanniang were exchanging pleasantries, Ji Anni's expression changed slightly. She no longer stared at the bed nervously and fearfully as before, but instead turned her gaze back to Yanniang's face.

I always feel that this Yan Niang is very weird...

She came here specially tonight and told a ghost story that scared Yizhen to death. Then she suggested changing Yizhen's room, as if it had been planned in advance.

Thinking back to the fact that Shui Furong wanted to exchange rooms with Yizhen a few days ago, Ji Anni felt that things were not simple.

Looking up and around the room, Ji Anni wondered if there was really something strange in this room?

***

That night, Yizhen slept in Ji Anni's room.

The two sisters slept until Die'er came to knock on the door. After hurriedly washing up and having breakfast, they immediately rushed to Renhe Hall.

The other concubines had already gathered there, and Ji Anni was almost always the last one to arrive. Fortunately, Yan Niang hadn't shown up yet, so she wasn't considered late.

As soon as Ji Anni and Yizhen stood up, Shui Furong walked towards them.

Seeing Shui Furong's hostile eyes, Yizhen hurriedly hid behind Ji Anni. Ji Anni also stepped forward and stood in front of Yizhen, raising her chin to Shui Furong, as if to say: If you want to cause trouble for Yizhen, knock me down first.

The other concubines also noticed this, but no one tried to persuade them. They all looked like they were enjoying the show.

It can be said that among the thirty concubines, the most eye-catching ones are Ji Anni and Shui Furong, followed by Liu Yingying and Su Yizhen.

Liu Yingying attracted attention not only because of her family background, but also because she and Shui Furong were competing with each other. Su Yizhen attracted attention not only because she was doused with tea by Princess Tianning, but also because she was too close to Ji Anni. When people paid attention to Ji Anni, they also paid more attention to Su Yizhen.

At this time, Shui Furong came to Ji Anni, folded her hands, and said arrogantly: "Move aside, I want to ask the person behind you a few words."

Ji Anni was not to be outdone and said, "If you have any questions, just ask me and I will answer for Yizhen."

"Humph." Shui Furong sneered, "You are acting as a flower protector?"

"I can't really be called a flower protector, but don't try to bully Yizhen in front of me." Ji Anni did not give in.

"Okay, I can ask you." The training time must be coming soon. Shui Furong was too lazy to waste time with Ji Anni, so she lowered her voice and asked, "I heard that Yan Niang went to Yizhen's room last night?"

Unexpectedly, she suddenly asked this question. Ji Anni was slightly surprised, but she quickly recovered and replied, "So what?"

Shui Furong lowered her voice even more: "What did she say?"

Ji Anni glared at her without giving her face and said, "Why should I tell you?"

"Zhao Ji, I warn you, don't make me angry." There were flashes of anger in Shui Furong's eyes.

"I just had to offend you." Ji Anni was not afraid of being scared. Moreover, if they really came to a fight, she would never lose to Shui Furong. Why should she be afraid of her? She sneered, "Don't you just want Yizhen's room? Well, I'll tell you, Yizhen will move to another room soon. You can sleep in that room if you want, but..."

At this point, Ji Anni suddenly lowered her voice, her eyes darkened, and she said in a tone that was a little warning and a little sarcastic: "But...if you are not afraid of being haunted by ghosts, just go to sleep."

I thought this sentence could scare Shui Furong, but Shui Furong was not surprised at all. She just glared at Ji Anni and left. Strange... Was Shui Furong not surprised at all? Had she heard the ghost story before? But if she had heard it, why did she change rooms with Yizhen? Was she really not afraid of ghosts?

Just as Ji Anni was thinking, she saw Yan Niang walking towards them.

All the other concubines bowed their heads and saluted, but Shui Furong walked towards Yan Niang.

Yan Niang glanced at Shui Furong's face for a few times and asked, "What's the matter, Madam?"

Shui Furong said, "I want to discuss with my aunt. If Yizhen moves out of that room, can I move in?"

Hearing this, Yan Niang's face changed slightly, and she said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty, I guess you haven't heard the story about that room, right?"

Unexpectedly, Shui Furong sneered and asked, "Aunt, I guess you don't know who I am yet?"

"Oh?" Judging from Yan Niang's eyes, Yan Niang really didn't know Shui Furong's identity.

Shui Furong said, "I am the daughter of the Grand Commander of Qingzhou, Shui Furong. The concubine who died in that room three years ago... was my sister."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Ji Anni, in particular, was so frightened that she took a big step back.

Oh my God... Oh my God... That deceased concubine was actually Shui Furong’s sister?

Could it be that this was the reason why Shui Furong asked to change rooms with Yizhen on her first day in the palace? Could it be that...she entered the palace to find out the cause of her sister's death? Suddenly, Ji Anni's opinion of Shui Furong changed a little.

Recalling some of Yun Zhen's previous words, Shui Furong was not present on the day of the selection, so she was only named a concubine, otherwise she would definitely be a noble concubine. Others just thought that Shui Furong was too arrogant, but now Ji Anni suddenly felt that Shui Furong did not participate in the selection on purpose. She did not want to be a noble concubine, but wanted to be a concubine, and she also wanted to live in the room where her sister used to live, in order to investigate clues. In this way, it makes sense that Shui Furong did not go to pay homage to the Empress Dowager and the Noble Concubine on the first day of entering the palace, but went to the Xian Palace to pay respects to the concubines of the previous emperor. Maybe she wanted to find those concubines to collect clues about her sister's murder?

Ji Anni couldn't help but think: This Shui Furong, I looked down on her in the past.
