Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

After the Ghost King died, Ji Anni stopped resisting. Everything went as smoothly as Yizhen had planned.

Ji Anni confessed her crime and calmly walked into the Demon Killing Platform, just like Yan Niang, who was devoured by the flames. She did not scream before she died, and only the sound of her bones turning into powder could be heard. Even though the small square in front of the Demon Killing Platform was filled with hundreds of people who witnessed the execution, and hundreds of timid monsters were hiding in the bushes and on the eaves, the entire Demon Suppression Temple was as quiet as a cemetery.

Long Mohan changed from an emperor to an emperor, but his condition became more and more serious, and he could hardly get out of bed. More than half a year later, Yizhen's child was born, a boy. As soon as the child was born, Yizhen asked the midwife to take the child to the emperor immediately. Unexpectedly, before the midwife left the door, Eunuch Hua came running over crying, kneeling on the ground and crying, "The emperor has passed away." For a while, the whole room could only hear the baby's crying and Eunuch Hua's crying mixed together. Yizhen felt a roar in her ears and her vision was pitch black.

She was unconscious for three days. When Yizhen opened her eyes again, the national mourning had ended. The little prince was named "Qian" and inherited the throne at birth. Zhang Sunnan and An Youchen assisted her in both civil and military affairs. All the major and minor affairs in and outside the court fell on Yizhen's shoulders. She took care of government affairs while raising Qi'an to adulthood.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Qi'an was thirteen years old. Zhuang Xiaomeng and Changsun Mingri became his two confidants. Changsun Nan urged Yizhen to return power to the emperor, but at this time Yizhen had already controlled the entire government with An Youchen, and was powerful and omnipotent. Changsun Nan saw that Yizhen had the intention to usurp the throne, so he joined forces with Shui Furong, who had inherited the position of governor of Qingzhou, to force Yizhen to return power. However, before the official action was taken, the news leaked, and Changsun Nan was accused of disrupting the government and was thrown into prison. Zhuang Xiaomeng and Changsun Mingri were implicated and both were exiled to counties far away from the capital. From then on, there was no one around Qi'an who could be used, and the throne was completely vacant.

After this change, no one in the court could compete with Yizhen. One year later, Yizhen, against all odds, ascended the throne with the support of An Youchen and unified the country. She became the first and last female emperor of the Tianyou Dynasty.

On the day Yizhen ascended the throne, Qi'an, who was under house arrest in the Eastern Palace, hanged himself. Fortunately, the eunuch discovered him in time and revived him before he died. From then on, Qi'an and Yizhen and her son never spoke to each other again.

Ten years later, the Tianyou Dynasty and the northern regime went to war, An Youchen died on the battlefield, and Yizhen's position began to waver. With powerful enemies invading the border and the resurgent Shan Gui tribe taking advantage of the chaos, Yizhen was attacked from all sides and had a hard time. She had no choice but to cede three northern cities to the northern regime, temporarily stopping the foreign invasion and concentrating on suppressing the Shan Gui tribe's rebellion.

The situation was gradually improving, but Shui Furong, the prince of Qingzhou, declared himself king. After several wars, the Tianyou Dynasty was exhausted, and Yizhen had to watch Qingzhou become independent from the territory of the Tianyou Dynasty. However, three months after Qingzhou declared independence, Qi'an was secretly taken out of the palace and sent to Qingzhou. At this time, Yizhen suddenly realized that the purpose of Qingzhou's independence was to help Qi'an regain the throne.

Three years later, the Qingzhou army broke into the imperial palace.

On the day the palace was stormed, Yizhen wore a dragon robe and a crown, and sat on the dragon throne in the main hall, waiting for the child to be born from her womb twenty-eight years ago.

Looking at Qi'an, wearing armor, stepping up the stairs, entering the hall, and walking towards her step by step, Yizhen's eyes unconsciously became misty.

Suddenly I realized that I hadn't seen him for a long time.

The last time I saw him, he was still a teenager. Now he has grown up and matured. In a trance, I felt as if Long Mohan had returned.

At that time, there was a trap in the hall, and Yizhen waited for Qi'an with the intention of dying together with her son. However, the moment she saw Qi'an, she could not bear to kill him. In the end, Yizhen did not activate the trap and obediently gave up the throne. Qi'an did not kill her, but he was unwilling to be with her as mother and son.

Qi'an recalled Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhangsun Mingri, and slowly put the chaotic government back on track.

Shui Furong had tampered with the sterilizing medicine that Yizhen drank under the coercion of Concubine An, otherwise Yizhen would have no chance to give birth to Qi'an. Because of this, Shui Furong has an inexplicable feeling for Qi'an, or a sense of responsibility, which is one of the reasons why Shui Furong helped Qi'an regain the throne.

Yizhen was imprisoned in the place where she had imprisoned Qi'an, leading a dull and lonely life.

Two years passed like this. One day, when Yizhen got up and dressed, she suddenly found a broken jade bracelet in her dressing box.

Yizhen hurriedly called Die'er and asked her where the jade bracelet came from. Die'er just shook her head but said nothing.

Yizhen held the jade bracelet and looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered everything that happened in this palace many years ago...

I remembered that I once had a friend named Ji Anni. But she had been dead for a long time, and now when I think of her, even her face has become blurry.

Yizhen stared at the jade bracelet in a trance, remembering that it was a gift from Concubine Baogui. She still remembered Concubine Baogui saying, "This jade bracelet is indeed not very special at first glance, but its most valuable feature is that it has not changed color for more than ten years. It is because of this characteristic that it has not changed color for more than ten years that it has become a treasure; it is because of this characteristic that it has not changed color for more than ten years that it has become more and more precious..." Later, the jade bracelet suddenly changed color, and Yizhen dreamed that Concubine Baogui wanted to pull her into the underworld.

After having this nightmare, Yizhen decided to rescue Die'er, who she had abandoned as a scapegoat. Die'er was rescued, but Yizhen also paid a price. She drank the sterilizing drug under the coercion of Concubine An. Later, she smashed the jade bracelet. Since then, the jade bracelet has never appeared again.

At this moment, when I suddenly saw its figure in the dressing box, I no longer felt afraid, but deeply enlightened.

In fact, after Yizhen smashed the jade bracelet, Die'er secretly buried it in the courtyard of the Dong Congfei Palace. Now Die'er dug out the jade bracelet again, washed it, and put it in the dressing box, just to let Yizhen recall the past time.

Yizhen glued the bracelet on and wore it on her hand when she went to bed at night. She was not afraid that Concubine Baogui would come and pull her away again, but she was looking forward to it.

In another distant world, there are many people and memories that have long passed away. Ji Anni, Long Mohan, An Youchen, Baogui Fei... One day, I will definitely meet them again. When I meet them again, what kind of expression will I have when facing them, and how will I tell them everything I have experienced in the past thirty years.

Yizhen lay quietly on the bed, with her hands on her belly. She vaguely recalled the feeling she had thirty years ago when she was pregnant with Qi'an.

At that time, I was so eager to give birth to him, help him become the crown prince, become the emperor, and watch him rule the world...

For this dream, he even killed Prince Ming and Ji Anni.

However, I don't know when the mother and son became enemies. It was she who usurped his throne and forced him to commit suicide.

In the end, as fate would have it, he finally tasted the loneliness and pain that Qi'an had experienced when he was under house arrest here.

After thinking about many things in a mess, Yizhen slowly closed her eyes. She could feel her heartbeat getting slower and slower, and her life was slipping away bit by bit.

Finally, her world became dark. She continued to sink deeper and deeper into the abyss, as if she would never reach the bottom...

Death is so simple, it is just a moment of closing your eyes. Looking back at the path of my life, I suddenly realized that I have deviated from my original intention.

If I could live again, if I could start all over again, I would really like to put this mess back on track...

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Ji Anni sitting beside the bed.

Yizhen thought it was a ghost and screamed in fear. Ji Anni didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

"Are you here to take me away..." Yizhen thought she was dead and sighed softly.

"What did you dream about?" Ji Anni asked softly.

Yizhen was a little confused and felt that something was a little strange. She looked around subconsciously and found that this was not the room where she was imprisoned, but the palace where she lived a long, long time ago. "What's going on..." She raised her hand to press her swollen and painful temple, and her eyes suddenly fell on the bronze mirror placed diagonally behind her.

The skin in the mirror was smooth and wrinkle-free, just like myself... 30 years ago...

Subconsciously place your hands on your lower abdomen and you can clearly feel the bulge in your abdomen.

"Qian...Qian..." He whispered the name over and over again. Qi'an actually returned to his belly?!

At this time, Xiaoxue came out from behind Ji Anni and said to Yizhen, "My queen, you just had a dream."

"Are you dreaming? What time is it now?" Yizhen excitedly grabbed Ji Anni's hand.

Ji Anni gently told her: "It is now the day after Ming'er died, two hours after you escaped from Xian Palace."

"What..." Yizhen couldn't believe this fact. Everything was just a dream, a long dream under Xiaoxue's magic.

Yizhen spent the next thirty years in the dream. The dream was so real that even after waking up, she seemed to still be immersed in the dream and unable to return to reality.

No one knows what Yizhen dreamed about. After waking up from the dream, Yizhen made a decision. She wanted to leave the palace, return to her hometown in Nanhu County, and give birth to the child quietly. She promised Ji Anni that as long as the child was born, she would return to the palace and accept all punishments.

When Yizhen left the palace, Ji Anni saw her off. Ji Anni wanted to hate her, but she couldn't.

Yizhen's last words to Ji Anni were: "One wrong step, all wrong. I've done a lot of wrong things, but I hope I've done it right this time."

She just left like that. Although she said she would come back in half a year, looking at her lonely back, Ji Anni felt like it was a farewell forever.

When Yizhen said goodbye to her, her eyes revealed a deep awareness of death.

The direction Yizhen left was exactly where the sunset was sinking. To the west, Yizhen calmly walked towards the direction she least wanted to go in her life...

At the Nanhu County Magistrate's Mansion, Yizhen's mother waited at the door early in the morning after receiving the news that her daughter was about to return home.

I waited from morning till night, and my daughter kept showing up. I waited again the next day, but she still didn't show up.

On the evening of the third day, a ragged old wandering monk passed by the county magistrate's mansion, singing "People laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at people for not seeing through me..."

Yizhen's mother felt that the monk looked familiar, so she quickly asked the servant to invite him over for questioning.

Upon asking, I found out that the other person was the monk who had predicted Yizhen's fortune when she was born sixteen years ago.

At that time, the monk said, "This woman's fate is precious, precious beyond words. Her fate is destined to conflict with the West, so she must not go to places close to the West, otherwise she will suffer disaster. If she can survive, she must remember to 'have Buddha in your heart and be kind to the people.'"

The monk named Yizhen "Yizhen".

No one has figured out the meaning of the word "Yizhen" in the past 16 years - this is a difficult problem that Yizhen needs to spend her entire life to figure out.

Sixteen years ago, Yizhen's mother repeatedly asked the monks, but they refused to tell her the details of Yizhen's fate, because if they did, it would be a disclosure of the secret and they would be punished by heaven.

Sixteen years later, when Yizhen's mother asked again, the monk no longer avoided the question.

The so-called "Yizhen" means "a person who has passed three tribulations will become a king". Yizhen's fate is precious because she is the reincarnation of the emperor star and is destined to become an emperor. Therefore, all the demons and monsters in the human world cannot harm her, and all the magic cast on her will be rebounded.

The three disasters destined for Yizhen are "life disaster", "love disaster" and "righteousness disaster".

Yizhen was born in the heavy snow in winter. She was very weak. The midwife said that she would die before she was a month old. Even if she was raised with great effort, she would still be a fool in the future. Yizhen's father wanted to throw his daughter away, but Yizhen's mother refused. In the end, they decided to let God decide their daughter's life and death. They placed her outside the house and raised her if she survived. At this time, a wandering monk appeared and helped Yizhen to tell her fortune. The maid heard that the baby was in conflict with the west, so she placed her in the corner of the east wall. The next morning, the snow stopped and the sky cleared. The baby miraculously survived - this was Yizhen's life.

The second disaster was the disaster of love. The palace was on fire. If Yizhen had moved to the Western Capital with Long Mohan, she would have died in the chaotic fight at the White Tiger Gate. However, somehow, Yizhen followed Prince Ming away and escaped the disaster.

The third catastrophe was the most difficult one in Yizhen's life. This catastrophe was also hidden in her name, which was the "Yi" character in "Yi". Yizhen did not have the heart to kill Ji Anni, but chose to leave independently and embarked on the journey back to the west. If she killed Ji Anni and survived the last catastrophe in her life, she would become a female emperor according to her destiny. However, after having a long and real dream of life, she chose to give up. Not only gave up the throne, but also gave up her life...

Hearing this, Yizhen's mother was already in tears. Needless to say, she had already guessed why her daughter had not shown up for three days.

The monk comforted her softly, "That girl has only two paths in her life - to become a queen or to die."

Although the monsters and demons in the world could not harm her, ordinary humans could easily take her life with just a small sword.

The monk revealed the secret because Yizhen had died on the way home. She was robbed by a group of bandits and her throat was cut with a knife.

The queen, who was destined to ascend the throne and rule the world, died miserably in the mountains, along with her unborn child.

Yizhen's mother cried bitterly. But the monk had already turned away, still singing the same lines over and over again: "People laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at people for not seeing through me..."

Once, Duke Zhuang had a dream in which he turned into a butterfly. After waking up, he felt even more confused.

I don’t know whether I dreamed of turning into a butterfly, or the butterfly dreamed of turning into a human…

In this world, time flows. Fame and wealth are fleeting. The higher you stand, the harder you fall.

Life is like a dream, and dreams are like life.
