Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

During the conversation, Yun Zhen had already led Ji Anni into a quiet room on the second floor.

Incense was burning in the room, and a pleasant fragrance filled the air. Ji Anni couldn't help but take a few more breaths and asked, "Yun Zhen, your incense smells really good. What's its name?"

Yun Zhen said: "This is called Devil-Exorcising Incense. If your Majesty likes it, you can take some back with you."

"Okay, okay." Ji Anni nodded quickly. In fact, she had always been worried that there were monsters in the palace who wanted to harm her. If she brought some exorcism incense to burn, it would at least be able to ward off evil spirits.

"By the way, Madam, what on earth do you want to discuss with me?"

"It's...it's..." She originally wanted to talk about Yan Niang's matter, but for some reason, Ji Anni suddenly felt dizzy and her eyes were blurry. Not to mention speaking, even breathing was difficult.

His body suddenly became light and he fell forward limply.

Yun Zhen happened to be standing in front of Ji Anni. When he saw Ji Anni fall down, he hurriedly reached out to help her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Yun Zhen hugged Ji Anni and gently shook her shoulders.

But Ji Anni only felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and her breathing became more and more difficult. She finally uttered three words: "Head... I feel dizzy..."

"Your Majesty is probably not used to this exorcist incense. I'll take you out now." Yun Zhen said as he carried Ji Annie out of the room.

It’s strange, I didn’t even have the strength to open my eyes when I was in the room just now, but once I came out and took a few breaths of fresh air, my mind immediately became clear.

"I...what's wrong with me?" Ji Anni was still lying in Yun Zhen's arms, rubbing her slightly swollen temples.

Yun Zhen straightened Ji Anni's body and said, "Your Highness probably doesn't like the fragrance in the room. Although this fragrance is harmless to the human body, some people with weaker constitutions will feel dizzy after smelling this fragrance."

"It's so powerful..." Ji Anni thought to herself that her physique was not weak. She was not carsick or seasick, so why was she getting sick from the incense now? It was really strange.

"Since your majesty is not used to the smell of this room, let's talk somewhere else."

As he said this, he led Ji Anni into the next room.

The air in the next room was indeed much fresher, and Ji Anni did not feel uncomfortable at all. "By the way, Yun Zhen, you must give me some of that demon-removing incense. I will take it back to my room and light it."

"Since Your Majesty is not used to the fragrance, please don't force it." Yun Zhen felt that something was wrong.

Ji Anni hastily waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I see that the magic-repelling incense has such a great effect on humans, it must be even better for monsters. It's okay for me. I'll get used to it after smelling it more. It's just like mosquito repellent tablets. They only kill mosquitoes, not people. What am I afraid of?"

"Mosquito repellent tablets?" Yun Zhen was puzzled by these three words.

"Oh, don't ask so many questions." Ji Anni waved her hand, too lazy to explain, and just said casually: "The mosquito repellent tablets are similar to your magic-killing incense. But your magic-killing incense kills demons, while the mosquito repellent tablets drive away mosquitoes. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yun Zhen's eyes were a little clear, but also a little confused.

"Forget it, forget it, I want to talk to you about something serious." Ji Anni had not forgotten the main purpose of her visit this time. Looking back, she found that the door was still open. So she ran over to close the door, then sat back next to Yun Zhen and said, "Yun Zhen... did you know that our housekeeper has been replaced?"

"Changed?"

Seeing Yun Zhen's expression, Ji Anni knew that he didn't know, so she simply said, "It's Yan Niang who has changed. Yan Niang has entered the palace."

"What?!" Yun Zhen was obviously shocked and almost stood up from the stool.

"Calm down and listen to me." Ji Anni hurriedly held Yun Zhen's shoulders and pushed him back to his seat, saying, "I think Yan Niang seems to have realized that Zhao Ji and I are not the same person... If she knew that I traveled through time and space and possessed Zhao Ji, I... Will I be executed as a monster?"

"This..." Yun Zhen pondered for a moment, then gave Ji Anni a fatal blow with a very serious expression, "It's very likely."

"What!" Ji Anni had hoped that Yun Zhen could comfort her a little, but who knew that he would actually answer "very likely"? What...what is this?

"Zhao Ji, listen to me. Yan Niang is not simple. She has been the Queen Mother's trusted maid since she was Concubine Zhuang. But three years ago, not long after the Queen Mother ascended the throne, she left the palace and returned to her hometown. She said she was returning to her hometown, but she has been staying in the capital. It seems that all her relatives in her hometown have died and she has no other place to return to, so she came to the capital to open a brothel." Yun Zhen paused here, frowning tightly, as if asking himself: "How could she... enter the palace again?"

"Yes, how could she enter the palace again?" This was exactly what Ji Anni couldn't understand.

Then, Ji Anni told Yun Zhen in detail about what had happened in recent days regarding Yan Niang, including her suspicion of herself, asking Yizhen to change rooms, and taking Shui Furong to see the Queen Mother just now, and asked Yun Zhen what to do.

"Will she tell the Queen Mother that I'm not Zhao Ji?" Ji Anni was afraid that the Queen Mother would burn her at the stake as a monster.

"That won't happen." Yun Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Yanniang is just suspicious at best. She is not sure that you are not Zhao Ji. I have had some contact with Yanniang. She is a very cautious woman and knows the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty'. Before she has strong evidence, she will not say much in front of the Queen Mother."

"But...I always feel a little scared."

Whenever Ji Anni thought of Yan Niang's eyes and tone when she said, "In the past, Zhao Ji always called herself a concubine," she felt that she had been seen through by her.

Yun Zhen said calmly: "She and Zhao Ji are quite familiar with each other. It is really not easy to hide it from her. The only way is to avoid contact with her as much as possible."

"But if I don't look for her, what if she comes looking for me? If I make excuses to avoid her, will she become even more suspicious?"

"Don't worry, I will find a chance to meet her and test her attitude. I will also hint to her that Soji's personality has changed a little since she entered the palace. I hope I can keep it a secret..."

"You just said Yan Niang is cautious. Is it so easy to hide it?" Ji Anni was still worried.

"I can only give it a try now. I am not sure if it will succeed."

"No way? Not even a little sure?" Ji Anni just prayed that this was another of Yun Zhen's humble words.

Yun Zhen shook his head without answering, and Ji Anni didn't know what he was thinking.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some recent news. Ji Anni felt that there was nothing more to say, so she simply said goodbye. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask Yun Zhen for a few packets of the so-called demon-removing incense. It is said that there are many wronged souls in the concubine's palace, so it is always better to be more cautious.
