Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 510: Ghosts in the Palace

Looking at the bleeding Prince Ming in her arms, Ji Anni's mind went blank again. If left alone, even a monster would die from excessive blood loss.

"Mother..." At this time, the weak Prince Ming suddenly opened his eyes slowly and looked at Ji Anni through the gap between his eyelids.

Ji Anni immediately regained consciousness, subconsciously hugged Prince Ming tightly, and asked hurriedly: "Ming'er, don't be afraid, mother will definitely save you."

"Mom, I... I missed you so much. I thought I would never see you again..."

The faint voice sounded even more desolate in the cold night wind, and Ji Anni's eyes suddenly became moist.

"Don't be afraid, you've seen your mother now... The monster that possessed you has been destroyed, and you won't have to suffer anymore..." As she spoke, tears rolled down unconsciously. Looking at the dying appearance of Prince Ming, her heart ached like a knife. Should she just watch him die?

"Mother, my father doesn't want me anymore... I thought you didn't want me either. I thought I would die alone, and no one would care about me after I died..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you won't die... You won't die..." Ji Anni hugged Prince Ming tighter, repeating "You won't die" over and over again, but there was nothing she could do. Those "You won't die" seemed to be said to herself, just helpless self-deception.

"Mother, hold me..." Prince Ming closed his eyes and gently raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab Ji Anni's hand. But he really didn't have the strength, he only raised it half an inch high and then dropped it immediately.

Ji Anni hurriedly held his hand and hugged him tighter. "Ming'er, mother will hold you... Don't close your eyes, mother will find... the imperial doctor to save you..." As she spoke, she stood up holding Prince Ming, and her soft legs finally straightened with great difficulty.

In front of her, the demon-suppressing temple surrounded by flames was burning fiercely. A huge heat wave rushed towards her, and Ji Anni's body, face, and back were covered with a mixture of cold and hot sweat.

"Mother, if father hadn't returned to the palace to become the emperor... our family of three were still in Qi... how great it would be, mother... I really want to go back..." Prince Ming's voice became weaker and weaker, and two lines of tears slid down his pale face and dripped on the back of Ji Annie's hand.

Ji Anni's heart trembled suddenly. "Yes, it would be better if I didn't return to the palace..."

If I hadn't returned to the palace, I wouldn't have suddenly come to this world and entered Zhaoji's body. Zhaoji, Long Mohan, and Prince Ming lived in the Qi Palace in a dull manner, and I was probably still spending my summer vacation leisurely at my grandfather's house.

Looking back suddenly, I suddenly realized that the ordinary past had long gone, leaving only an uncertain future and an unrecognizable self.

"Ming'er, I'm sorry..." She couldn't help but buried her face in Prince Ming's arms and started crying.

"My father said that my mother is dead, but... I don't believe it. I know... my mother must still be by my side..."

Listening to the intermittent words of Prince Ming, Ji Anni's choked throat could no longer make any sound.

Indeed, she could often feel that Zhao Ji and Xue Lan were sleeping somewhere in her body. She had merged with them, shouldering their wishes and responsibilities. She was no longer alone, and someone else's life had already been hosted deep inside her body.

"Mother..." Prince Ming gently closed his eyes in Ji Annie's arms, a satisfied smile slightly appearing at the corners of his lips.

Ji Anni was so frightened that her whole body froze, and the Prince Ming in her arms almost fell out.

At this moment, the Ghost King, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came up, grabbed Ji Anni's shoulders and pulled her back, and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

Ji Anni, who was in a daze, fell to the ground at an angle, and the Prince Ming in her arms was snatched away by the Ghost King.

"What are you doing?" Ji Anni crawled over and grabbed the Ghost King's hand.

At this time, the Ghost King had already laid Prince Ming flat on the ground.

Prince Ming was motionless, with a calm expression, as if he was in a deep sleep. His pale face turned into a very strange color against the blue firelight behind him.

The Ghost King did not answer Ji Anni's question, but grabbed his heart with one hand.

Incredibly, Ji Anni actually saw a faint light slowly emerging on the palm of the Ghost King.

The light slowly squeezed out from the Ghost King's body and finally fell into the Ghost King's palm.

"Fox bead..." His pale lips moved slightly, and he uttered these two words subconsciously. At the same time, his body was also surrounded by a strange breath. The half fox bead embedded in his body seemed to respond to the fox bead in the ghost king's hand, pulsating slightly.

The Ghost King placed the half fox bead in his hand on Prince Ming’s heart.

The fox bead sank little by little, passing through clothes, skin, bones and flesh, and finally fell deep into Prince Ming's body. Then, the fox bead took root and sprouted like a seed, and countless tiny rays of light radiated outward from the fox bead, and finally surrounded Prince Ming's body.

Prince Ming was like a cocoon surrounded by light, glowing all over in the dark night.

Ji Anni was stunned by the strange scene that appeared before her. But after a brief moment of surprise, she suddenly realized that Prince Ming was saved. Just like herself, he absorbed half of the fox bead and came back to life.

"Tomorrow... tomorrow..."

Subconsciously mumbling the name of Prince Ming, I heard two heartbeats in my ears, one coming from my body and the other from Prince Ming's body.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xue Lan's figure vaguely appeared in front of me. Xue Lan stretched out her hands, hugged Prince Ming's small body, and then merged with him.

After a long while, the light gradually dimmed and finally disappeared.

Ji Anni stared at Prince Ming without blinking. Prince Ming still seemed to be asleep, lying motionless on the ground.

"Ming'er..." Ji Anni couldn't help but crawl over and grabbed Prince Ming's hand.

Prince Ming's hands were as cold as ice, not only without temperature, but also stiff. Just when Ji Anni was heartbroken, Prince Ming's stiff fingers suddenly moved and gently held Ji Anni's hand.

"That's great, Ming'er." Ji Annie couldn't help but lean over and hug Prince Ming, burying her head in his chest and crying with tears in her eyes.

The split fox bead resonated with each other in their bodies, transmitting a faint warmth and energy.

After a while, Ji Anni finally calmed down from her excitement and looked back at the Ghost King behind her. She wanted to thank him, but her mind was blank and she couldn't find a word. She could only stare at him with tearful eyes.

The Ghost King started by saying, "After all, he is Xue Lan's descendant. Passing Xue Lan's half of the fox bead to him can be considered as returning it to its original owner. However, don't forget our agreement. After I fulfill your three wishes, I will take the fox bead out of your body and his body." He said every word seriously and was not joking at all.

Ji Anni felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her. Her body was cold and stiff. She lowered her eyelashes silently and turned her attention back to Prince Ming.

I almost forgot that the Ghost King is not Yun Zhen at all. Although he will protect me, it is only to fulfill the agreement. After one year, or when the three wishes are exhausted, I must hand over the fox beads and life inherited from Xue Lan as agreed.

At this time, the Demon-Suppressing Temple behind him was almost burned out, with only a few bare pillars standing in the air, and the ground had long since become a ruin.

Yuan Rong's miserable screams became smaller and smaller, and weaker and weaker. In another quarter of an hour, it should disappear completely.

Yun Zhen deliberately didn't kill Yuan Rong in order to use the method of "fighting evil with evil" to let Yuan Rong kill the Ghost King and save the people. But Yun Zhen miscalculated. The last move he left was no match for the power of the Ghost King, and he was about to die in a sea of ​​fire. Although Ji Anni can temporarily appease the Ghost King, if the relationship breaks down, no one in the world can compete with him. Yun Zhen, the only one who can subdue the Ghost King, has now merged with the Ghost King...

At this time, Prince Ming opened his eyes and called out weakly, "Mother..."

Ji Anni smiled at him, hugged him tightly and said, "That's great, Ming'er, I will protect you from now on and will never be separated from you again." This was for Zhao Ji and for herself. I don't know if it was because of her emotional assimilation with Zhao Ji, but in her heart she had already regarded Prince Ming as her own flesh and blood.

"Xiao Zhao..." At this moment, Yizhen, who had been lying on the ground weakly, suddenly spoke. She slowly crawled to Ji Anni's side and pointed to an open space not far away. "Xiao Zhao, look over there..."

Ji Anni looked back and suddenly found a figure lying down about twenty meters behind her.

"Concubine An?" Upon closer inspection, the figure was actually An Ruoxuan! Could it be that the second black snake just now was Concubine An? Was Concubine An also under Yuan Rong's spell?

There was no time to think about it, as Concubine An suddenly let out a sharp scream from her body, which made Ji Anni cover her ears tightly.

Concubine An lay on the ground motionless, but a translucent figure emerged from her body. The ghostly cry came from the shadow.

The Ghost King stared at the ghost and said calmly, "That woman is possessed by the demon's shikigami. That shikigami is a wronged spirit. When the demon dies, the shikigami will be buried with him. Now it is just screaming in its dying struggle, and there is no threat."

Having said that, when she heard that horrible scream, Ji Annie still got goose bumps on her skin.

"That person..." Ji Anni stared at the faint ghost figure in the darkness. The more she looked, the more incredible it seemed to her. She also felt vaguely that he looked familiar.

At this time, even Yizhen noticed something strange and stared at the ghost and said, "It seems to be...it seems to be..."

The reason I dare not say it out loud is because it is too absurd and a little hard to believe.

At this moment, the ghost suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cry towards Ji Anni and the others, and bared its fangs and claws as if it wanted to pounce on them.

Until this moment, Ji Anni really saw the ghost's appearance. With trembling lips, she weakly uttered two words: "Furong?"

After a moment's shock, he quickly realized that no, that ghost was definitely not Water Lotus, it just looked very similar, a little unbelievably similar.

Ji Anni's heart sank, and she suddenly had a bold guess: Could this wronged soul that looked like Shui Furong be the innocent Shui Consort who died innocently after giving birth to a little prince for the late emperor? How could the wronged soul of Shui Consort become Yuan Rong's Shikigami?
