Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem
Chapter 536: Traveling Through Time and Space (End)
Time goes back to the day after Long Ming's death, which is the night when Yizhen sneaked into Xian Palace and tried to confuse the Ghost King with magic. After the Ghost King was seriously injured and unconscious by the magic power rebounded from Yizhen, Ji Anni was at a loss, and then Xiaoxue suddenly arrived. Xiaoxue listened to Ji Anni's story, and then went to Yizhen's bedroom with Ji Anni, and used magic to make Yizhen fall into a deep sleep. This sleep only lasted two hours for Ji Anni and Yizhen, but for Yizhen, it was a full thirty years of sleep.
It was not accidental that Xiaoxue appeared in Xian Palace that night. She went there to save Long Ming. When she arrived at Xian Palace, she found that there was only Long Ming's body in the room, and Ji Anni was missing. Later, she followed the sound to the Ghost King's room, only to find that the Ghost King was seriously injured by Yizhen.
After Yizhen decided to leave the palace, Xiaoxue once again mentioned to Ji Anni the method of saving Long Ming - that is to pass her own spirit pearl to Long Ming, so that Long Ming can be brought back to life, just like Long Ming absorbed half of Xue Lan's fox pearl and was brought back to life.
Ji Anni immediately objected after hearing this: "If you give your spirit pearl to Ming'er, won't you die?"
The Lingzhu is the gathering of the spirit power of the monsters and the core of their life. If a monster loses the Lingzhu, it is equivalent to losing its life.
Xiaoxue said calmly, "When Yuan Rong possessed Prince Ming, I stabbed Prince Ming's heart with my hairpin when I was fighting with Yuan Rong. So in the final analysis, I was the murderer of Prince Ming, not you, Your Majesty. It is reasonable for me to pay him with my life now, Your Majesty, don't be sad. Besides..." When she said this, her expression became gloomy, "On the day when the palace was on fire, countless people died and injured in the White Tiger Gate, all of which were caused by me... I have been responsible for hundreds of lives, and I have long wanted to die to atone for my sins. Now that I can use my spirit pearl to save Prince Ming's life, it can be regarded as accumulating merit for myself..."
Ji Anni was speechless and heartbroken. Xiaoxue had made up her mind and no one could persuade her.
The only thing Xiaoxue was worried about was Concubine Gan. "I promised her that I would help her find her childhood friend after entering the palace. But now, I am leaving her and this unfulfilled promise behind and disappearing..."
Concubine Gan was born with the ability to see ghosts and monsters. Her parents were afraid of her ability, so they forced her to cover her eyes like a blind person. When she was a child, the lonely Concubine Gan had only one friend, a servant in the Gan Mansion named Chang Shun. Concubine Gan had never seen Chang Shun in person, but she had touched his face, heard his voice, and made a mask based on the feeling she had. Ji Anni had seen the mask once and felt vaguely familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. Five years ago, Chang Shun entered the palace as a guard and never came back, so Concubine Gan decided to enter the palace to find him.
Ji Anni couldn't bear to see Xiaoxue in pain and regret, so she promised, "Xiaoxue, don't worry, I will definitely help Concubine Gan find Chang Shun."
After receiving Ji Anni's promise, Xiaoxue nodded with peace of mind. Then she closed her eyes and concentrated her spiritual power on her heart. After a while, a small sparkling bead emerged from her chest and slowly floated towards Long Ming, who was curled up on the ground in the form of a fox.
The spirit pearl entered Long Ming's body, and Long Ming's body began to emit a faint light. His body gradually grew larger, and finally returned to human form.
Ji Anni rushed over excitedly, hugged him and shouted, "Ming'er! Ming'er!"
Long Ming slowly opened his eyes as Ji Anni called out, and weakly called out, "Mom..."
Ji Anni hugged him tightly in her arms, crying uncontrollably. After crying for a while, she calmed down and turned to look at Xiaoxue.
At this time, Xiaoxue's body had become translucent, floating in the air illusively, as if it would disappear with a gust of wind.
"Xiaoxue..." Ji Anni wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her throat choked with sobs and she could hardly make a sound.
Xiaoxue looked at her with a smile and said softly, "Your Majesty, please say goodbye to Concubine Gan for me... I dare not tell her in person, I hope you can help me comfort her and tell her not to be sad... Your Majesty, I wish you all the best..." Xiaoxue's voice became smaller and smaller. After saying the three words "I wish you all the best", she completely disappeared into the air.
She disappeared completely, like a breeze that passed by and disappeared without a trace.
Ji Anni stared blankly at the place where she once existed, and her heart felt inexplicably empty...
"One life in exchange for another life..." Ji Anni subconsciously hugged Long Ming tighter in her arms, "Ming'er, you must be a good emperor..."
In accordance with the agreement, Ji Anni told Concubine Gan about Xiaoxue's voluntary sacrifice to save Prince Ming.
Concubine Gan's reaction was calmer than Ji Anni had imagined. She sat motionless for a long time. Finally, her shoulders twitched slightly twice, and she covered her face and cried softly.
Ji Anni leaned over and gently hugged her shoulders. She had clearly promised Xiaoxue to comfort Concubine Gan, but she couldn't even say a word of comfort. She just wanted to hug Concubine Gan and cry loudly to cry out all the haze in her heart.
Although Concubine Gan was sad, she approved of Xiaoxue's approach.
The sins of killing committed by Xiaoxue during the White Tiger Gate Incident were too serious. Even if she survived, she would definitely not escape the punishment of the Demon Killing Platform. Now that she has found a way to atone for her sins, we should be happy for her.
After Concubine Gan finally calmed down, Ji Anni said goodbye and left.
When she entered the courtyard, she suddenly saw a figure flashing by the corridor. Ji Anni thought she was dazzled, but when she got closer, she found that there was indeed someone, and it was a familiar person. "Your Majesty... Your servant, I heard crying, how is Concubine Gan... "The eunuch asked anxiously, hunching his back.
Ji Anni looked him up and down, then suddenly remembered and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Xiao Shunzi?"
He was the eunuch who served Yun Zhen. When Ji Anni had just traveled to this world, he was the one driving the carriage when she followed Yun Zhen into the palace. But they hadn't met for a long time, so Ji Anni almost forgot about him. Staring at his face carefully, Ji Anni felt more and more familiar. Subconsciously, she asked, "Xiao Shunzi, what's your name?"
Xiao Shunzi was startled and hesitated for a moment, but still answered respectfully: "Slave, slave...my surname is Chang..."
"It's you." Ji Anni suddenly realized. It turned out that Xiao Shunzi was the person that Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue had been looking for.
Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue thought Chang Shun entered the palace as a guard, but they didn't expect him to become a eunuch. No wonder they couldn't find him. On the other hand, Chang Shun had recognized Concubine Gan a long time ago, but he didn't dare to recognize her. He just kept caring and paying attention to Concubine Gan in the dark. Because of this, he knew it when Concubine Gan cried today.
Ji Anni hesitated for a moment, and finally did not expose his secret directly, but said: "Xiaoxue just passed away, and Concubine Gan has no one to serve her. Since you care about her so much, you can be transferred to the Nangong Palace in the future."
"This, this..." Xiao Shunzi was panicked and stammered, as if he wanted to refuse.
However, Ji Anni said, "If you don't even dare to see her, even here..." Then she gently poked Xiao Shunzi's heart with her fingertips, "you are not a man." After saying this, Ji Anni passed Xiao Shunzi and left Nangong Palace.
The person I wanted to see the most was always by my side, but I didn't notice it. I wonder when Xiao Shunzi will make up his mind to recognize Concubine Gan...
Ji Anni returned to Xian Palace and went to visit the Ghost King first. The Ghost King was not dead, but he was seriously injured and had not recovered, and he had been very weak.
After hearing Ji Anni's footsteps, the Ghost King opened his eyes from his coma.
In the dark room, Ji Anni sat gently beside the bed and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
The ghost king smiled and said softly, "I just closed my eyes and went to the underworld, and learned some things." Then he turned his head slightly and looked at Ji Anni. "Do you believe me? I'll take you to meet some people..." As he said that, he gently stretched out his hand, suspended in the air, making an invitation gesture.
Ji Anni looked at him in confusion. Although his face was still Yun Zhen's, his expression had already become that of another person.
"After going through so much, I'm not afraid of anything now." Ji Anni gently held the Ghost King's hand.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she found that her body was floating. To be precise, it was not the "body", but the "soul", because the body was still sitting on the bed, holding the ghost king's hand. The ghost king's soul also left the body and flew up. After leaving Yun Zhen's body, the ghost king was just a ball of flame, without a clear shape.
The ghost king took Ji Anni up and flew out of the palace to a farmyard. As soon as they landed, they heard the cry of a baby in the room. Ji Anni had a strange premonition and rushed to the window. She wanted to peek through the window, but she didn't expect her whole body to pass through the wall and come to the bedside.
A woman who had just given birth was lying on the bed, with the midwife holding the newborn baby in her arms.
The woman was sweating profusely. She stretched out her hand weakly and said to the midwife, "Let me see the child."
The midwife handed the baby over, and the woman was moved as she held the baby. Suddenly, a small red dot gradually appeared on the baby's forehead.
The small dot grew bigger and bigger, slowly blooming like a flower bud, and finally opened into a peach blossom-shaped birthmark between the baby's eyebrows.
Ji Anni covered her mouth and couldn't help crying. "This, this is Empress Bao..."
The ghost king nodded and said, "She has been reborn as a human being."
At this time, Ji Anni felt something strange, and subconsciously looked back, and found an illusory ghost standing in the corner. The ghost was Xiaoyao, who was once Baoer's most trusted maid, and was also the murderer who directly killed Baoer. When Xiaoyao saw Ji Anni found her, she said, "Seeing Bao Niang's reincarnation, I can also be at ease to reincarnate." Before leaving, she stood beside the midwife, staring at the baby for a long time, with a look of repentance and blessing.
Then, the Ghost King took Ji Anni to the underworld.
On the Naihe Bridge beside the Wangchuan River, Kang Xiaorong, Tianning, Huarong and Yuemao are about to drink Mengpo soup.
Ji Anni bid farewell to them one by one. The four intertwined destinies were finally unraveled at this moment.
Everything is back to zero and starts over.
After drinking Meng Po soup, one will forget everything in the past life. The people who have been loved, the people who have been hated, the people who have been unattainable, the people who have been missed, everything, all the memories, will vanish into thin air along with a bowl of light soup.
The person you once loved may never meet again in the next life; the person you once missed may reunite in the next life. No one knows what will happen in the next life.
After seeing off the four of them, Xiaoxue arrived. Ji Anni said, "Chang Shun has been found, but he has not yet recognized Concubine Gan."
Xiaoxue said, "This way I can be at peace in my reincarnation. Thank you, my Goddess."
Whether human or demon, all life starts from scratch here.
Ji Anni watched their figures disappear on the Naihe Bridge and silently blessed them for their afterlife.
After returning from the underworld, Ji Anni's soul returned to her body, but the ghost king was still floating in the air.
Ji Anni asked in confusion: "Aren't you going back?" referring to returning to Yun Zhen's body.
The Ghost King said: "I was born from the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so it is natural for me to return to heaven and earth."
Ji Anni was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
The ghost king said softly, "I promised you that I would help you realize three wishes, and now there is only one left. I cannot break my promise."
"One last wish?" Ji Anni stared at him blankly.
