Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Die'er testified that Ji Anni was indeed very abnormal yesterday. No one investigated why Prince Ming suddenly appeared in Ji Anni's room last night. Everyone's attention was focused on Ji Anni killing Prince Ming. Could it be that she was really a demon and couldn't control herself, so she killed her own child with her own hands?

"I saw her yesterday. She looked normal. Why did she suddenly go crazy?" Long Mohan pressed his aching temple.

Yesterday, Ji Anni brought Long Ming to visit Long Mohan in the palace. The three of them got along harmoniously and happily. Unexpectedly, this was the last time the father and son met. When she woke up, she heard the sad news that Long Ming was murdered. The unexpected turn of events made Long Mohan still somewhat dazed and unable to believe this terrible fact.

Yizhen said, "Zhao Ji has been resurrected from the dead, and she has inherited the power of a thousand-year-old fox demon. Maybe the fox demon is slowly devouring her, making her unable to control her actions. If this is true, it will become a big problem in the future. What I am most worried about now is that she will harm me and the prince in my belly."

"Yes, she is too dangerous now. She can do anything." Long Mohan sighed, "It's all my fault. I thought you were overly sensitive and wanted her to enlighten you, but I didn't expect that you were almost killed by her..." Now when I think about it, I only feel a sense of fear.

Yizhen smiled with relief when she saw Long Mohan apologize. "Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have escaped death."

At this time, An Youchen, who had been waiting nearby, asked, "Now that things have come to this, how should Zhao Ji be dealt with?"

Yizhen said first: "She killed the emperor, so of course she deserves the death penalty. In addition, she can't control her demon nature at all, so if she stays, she will only harm the world."

"That being said, but... who can kill her?" An Youchen shook his head with a frown.

"My lord, have you forgotten the Demon-Slaying Platform in the Demon-Suppressing Temple? The Demon-Slaying Platform was originally built to kill those evil monsters." Yizhen said.

"But will Zhaoji be like Yanniang who walked into the demon-killing platform obediently and ended up with her soul torn to pieces?" An Youchen was a little worried.

"Why not?" Yizhen said confidently, "She must be regretting it so much now that she wants nothing more than to kill herself."

As she spoke, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold and cruel smile. Everything was under her control. How would Zhao Ji, who had killed Long Ming with her own hands, face the promise she made to the world?

Yizhen turned her head and looked in the direction of Xian Palace and said, "At first she said that after the Demon-Slaying Platform was built, it would scare away all the demons in the world and make them afraid to do evil. Now she has committed a capital crime and has no other choice but to sacrifice herself for the law. Otherwise, wouldn't the Demon-Slaying Platform and the coexistence of humans and demons be just a ridiculous joke?"

The calm eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and the past emotions had turned into smoke. His right hand unconsciously rested on his belly again, and he said silently in his heart: Child, don't worry, I will take back everything that belongs to you.

In the room with closed doors and windows, the light is still dim even in broad daylight.

Ji Anni sat in the corner, with a fox curled up on her knees. She stroked the fox's fur with one hand, her empty eyes fixed on the shocking bloodstains on the floor. Her expression was very calm, as if her brain had been emptied and she had lost the ability to think. However, her mind was busy replaying every detail of last night over and over again.

A monster suddenly broke in through the window, and he resisted when his life was hanging by a thread...

If she had known that the monster was Long Ming, Ji Anni would have been willing to close her eyes and be bitten by him. She subconsciously stared at the hand that pierced Long Ming's heart, and her whole arm was trembling slightly. If everything could be done again, if there was still a chance to regret, even if she was the one who died, she didn't want to see Long Ming become a stiff corpse.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. Ji Anni looked up reflexively. The door opened with a creaky sound, and the person who walked in was the Ghost King. Her eyes fell calmly on the Ghost King's face, without a ripple. She sighed softly in her heart and said to herself: Except for the Ghost King, perhaps no one else dares to approach here.

The Ghost King's gaze fell on the fox in Ji Anni's arms. A hint of surprise flashed across his deep eyes for a moment, but he soon regained his calm.

Although no one would specifically report last night's tragedy to the Ghost King, the Ghost King lived in Xian Palace after all, and he could sense that something ominous was happening.

"Did you kill it?" The Ghost King walked into the room, squatted beside Ji Annie, raised his hand and gently touched the fox's body, his expression became even heavier.

Seeing his expression, Ji Anni's tiny wish was shattered. She originally thought that the Ghost King still had a way to save Long Ming, but at this moment, she clearly realized from the Ghost King's solemn expression that Long Ming was beyond saving.

The Ghost King's hand gently reached out to the fox's heart.

Ji Anni nervously hugged Long Ming tighter and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Since he's dead, of course I have to take back the fox bead."

As soon as the voice fell, a faint light appeared in the fox's heart. The light finally condensed into a spherical object. The sphere slowly emerged from the depths of the fox's body and finally fell into the palm of the ghost king.

"You don't have to be too sad. In fact, he has already died. If he didn't have this half of the fox bead, he would have died on the night when the demon sect of the Demon Temple was destroyed. Now that he has lived for so long, become the emperor, and met his father, he has many more beautiful memories than before. It's enough for him."

Listening to the Ghost King's words, Ji Anni's tears fell drop by drop.

She knew that the Ghost King said this to comfort her, but after hearing his words, she didn't feel comforted at all, but felt even more uncomfortable.

"I can't forgive myself." Ji Anni said softly.

After the fox bead was taken away, the fox's body seemed to be stiffer and colder than before. The more this happened, the more Ji Anni felt that she had sinned.

"Please take my fox beads too..."

Suddenly speaking an unexpected word, the Ghost King raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed across his calm eyes.

"Your goal is Xue Lan's fox beads anyway, so I will return them all to you. However, I hope that after you get the fox beads, you will leave the palace immediately, do not harm the world, and do not seek revenge. You want to be with Xue Lan... From now on, you can be together forever..."

As she spoke, she gently closed her eyes, and tears continued to drip down like beads that had broken off the string.

The Ghost King stared at Ji Anni painfully. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "No."

Hearing the firm answer of these two words, Ji Anni was a little surprised. She gently opened her eyes and met the Ghost King's gaze from a distance of about three inches.

"As agreed, you have one last wish. I will not take the fox bead from your body until I help you realize your last wish."

"Is that so... one last wish..." The corners of his lips slightly lifted up, revealing a bleak smile. "Can Ming'er be resurrected? Give him my fox beads, can he be resurrected again?" As he spoke, he could not help but excitedly grab the ghost king's sleeve.

The Ghost King stared at her slightly crazy expression and shook his head slightly.

Ji Anni's expression froze for a moment, and finally turned into a smile of "as expected". The answer was expected, not surprising at all.

"Then please let me see Yun Zhen..." He stared at the ghost king in front of him intently and painfully, as if he could find the shadow of Yun Zhen in him. "As long as I can see him one last time, I can die willingly... I know he must still be alive in your body, please, let me see him..."

As he spoke, his voice choked up, and tears once again washed his cheeks.

Seeing her miserable and pitiful appearance, the Ghost King was a little moved, but he quickly hardened his heart and refused: "No."

"Why?" This time Ji Anni was really surprised. Because letting her see Yun Zhen for the last time should not be too difficult for the Ghost King.

"You just want to use up these three wishes quickly and then die. I won't let you get your wish."

"Why? Don't you want the Fox Pearl very much? As long as you let me see Yun Zhen, I will return the Fox Pearl to you." Ji Anni subconsciously grabbed the Ghost King's arm and hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to pester him like this until he agreed.

"Do you think you'll be free if you die? If you die, the people who framed you will be even happier."

"The person who framed me..." Ji Anni woke up as if from a dream, staring at the Ghost King's serious expression in shock.

After Long Ming's death, she was immersed in grief for the whole day and had no energy to think about the whole thing. After calmly thinking about it, she found that it was full of doubts. Why did Long Ming suddenly appear? Why did he attack her mercilessly? It was because Long Ming's attack was too fierce last night that Ji Anni didn't guess his identity at all.

"You mean... someone controlled Ming'er and asked him to kill me... why, why..."

He kept asking questions, hugged the Ghost King's arm and shook it desperately, begging him to tell him the answer quickly.

"Don't ask me, ask yourself, don't you know it yourself?"

"I, I..." Ji Anni was even more confused, and countless images flashed through her mind. Every time, Yizhen's face appeared at the most critical moment. She remembered that when she visited Yizhen yesterday, she suddenly lost her mind and pounced on her uncontrollably, wanting to kill Yizhen. Could it be that Long Ming was also controlled by a mysterious force like herself?

"I don't know, I don't know who wants to frame me..." Ji Anni couldn't figure it out. She grabbed her hair angrily and let out a painful growl.

Suddenly, Yizhen’s shining red eyes appeared in my mind.

It was only after he looked into those eyes that he suddenly lost his temper. Could it be Yizhen? No way, it couldn't be Yizhen.

Ji Anni was completely confused and didn't want to doubt Yizhen, but after looking at Yizhen, she suddenly felt that she was being manipulated.

"Impossible..." Ji Anni covered her aching head and buried her face in her arms.

Yizhen is just an ordinary human, why can she control herself? At this moment, Ji Anni suddenly recalled that Yizhen had turned into a giant snake. If she was really just an ordinary human, why did she suddenly turn into a snake demon?
