Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 329 Deeply Experienced

The face in front of me is familiar, but the expression has long since become unfamiliar.

Long Mohan's five fingers that were clasping Ji Anni's head suddenly tightened, and he finally couldn't help but ask the question that was hidden deep in his heart: "Zhao Ji...are you really Zhao Ji?"

Long Mohan's serious expression made Ji Anni break out in a cold sweat on her back. She felt as if her lie had been exposed. She was so anxious that she didn't know how to make amends.

"Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji?... Zhao Ji..." Long Mohan kept repeating Zhao Ji's name over and over again. Every time he repeated it, his brows furrowed a little more and his expression became more terrifying.

Ji Anni had never seen anyone change his expression so quickly. Just now he looked warm and concerned about her health, but in the blink of an eye, he had an expression that could freeze a penguin to death.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...it hurts, it hurts..." Ji Anni gently grabbed Long Mohan's hand that was holding her head, trying to remove the source of this fear.

After hearing the word "pain", Long Mohan suddenly came to his senses and suddenly withdrew his hand from Ji Anni's head. He stared at his palm with fear, as if he had just recovered from being possessed by evil spirits and had no idea what he had just done.

He looked up and saw Ji Anni's face was pale. He immediately realized that he might have hurt her and apologized hurriedly: "Zhao Ji, I'm sorry... I, I just..."

He could only finish half of his hastily-spoken words. Long Mohan used the hand that he had placed on Ji Annie's head to cover his forehead tightly.

"What happened to me just now?" Long Mohan didn't dare to recall what he had done just now. The moment he looked into Zhao Ji's eyes, he suddenly felt that he was seeing another person.

It was this illusion that made him doubt Zhao Ji in front of him. He did not allow himself to have any doubts about Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji and Prince Ming were his only relatives, and he did not allow himself to have any doubts about his relatives. Because that would make him feel doubly lonely and fearful, and make him panic and lost.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Long Mohan covering his head in pain, Ji Anni couldn't help but walk forward to support him.

"I'm sorry, Zhao Ji... I, I must be too tired..." Besides that, Long Mohan didn't know how to explain the other Zhao Ji that he had just seen in a trance, "Did I scare you?"

"No, no, no..." Ji Anni shook her head. Although she was frightened half to death by Long Mohan just now, after seeing Long Mohan's regretful look, she couldn't help but comfort him with a white lie.

Long Mohan calmed down for a while, finally returned to normal, and slowly put down the hand that was covering his forehead.

"Your Majesty, if you are too tired, you don't need to come visit Zhaoji. Zhaoji can take care of herself."

If this continues, Ji Anni's true identity will be exposed sooner or later. Just now, Long Mohan seemed to have discovered the existence of Ji Anni in Zhao Ji's body.

Ji Anni didn't know how long she could keep it a secret. She couldn't bear to see Long Mohan become exhausted and haggard for her and for a fake Zhao Ji.

If possible, Ji Anni also wanted to tell him the truth. Long Mohan was not a person who didn't understand things. Since he could accept Shui Furong dressing up as a woman, he should be able to accept his own resurrection, right?

"Zhao Ji, when I paid my respects to the Queen Mother this morning, I heard that she had come to the Imperial Hospital early in the morning. I thought she was here to question you, so I hurried over... But fortunately, it wasn't you."

Only then did Ji Anni know the reason why Long Mohan suddenly appeared. It turned out that he was worried about her.

Ji Anni's sense of guilt deepened. She could only blame herself for being a born troublemaker, causing the emperor to worry about her all the time while he was busy with all kinds of affairs.

"The Queen Mother has no intention of asking Zhao Ji questions. Right now, the only important thing on her mind is Princess Tianning's wedding." Ji Anni gave a bitter laugh.

Speaking of Princess Tianning's marriage, Long Mohan sighed with worry and said, "Tianning seems to have become a different person recently. She doesn't like to move around, and she doesn't like to laugh and chat anymore."

Everyone in the palace saw the changes in Princess Tianning. Everyone was worried about her, wondering whether this wedding would be a blessing or a curse for her.

"Your Majesty, do you think Princess Tianning should marry Kang Xiaorong?" Ji Anni suddenly wanted to know what Long Mohan thought about this marriage.

Long Mohan shook his head and said, "Maybe not... at least, she shouldn't marry Kang Xiaorong so early. The Queen Mother is too impatient, and Tianning has been forced into a corner and has no choice but to marry. In fact, if we use another two or three years, we can really see whether Princess Tianning has any hope of gaining Kang Xiaorong's affection. But now, alas... they are really too impatient..."

"Your Majesty, can you persuade the Queen Mother?" Although she knew the possibility was slim, Ji Anni still asked with a glimmer of hope.

Long Mohan still shook his head and said, "No one can dissuade the Queen Mother from doing what she is determined to do. Princess Tianning will know whether Kang Xiaorong loves her or not after waiting for another two or three years. But Zhao Ji, how long do I have to wait to see if you can fall in love with me again?" I thought ten days would be enough, but after waiting for so long, Ji Anni showed no signs of recovery.

Seeing that the topic suddenly shifted to herself, Ji Anni took a half step back in panic.

Long Mohan moved forward and trapped Ji Anni in the corner, leaving her no room to hide.

"Zhaoji, although I do not support the Queen Mother's decision to grant this marriage, I understand Princess Tianning's feelings very well. Even if you can't get that person, you still want to keep that person by your side and don't want to let go. Because of love, you don't want to miss any opportunity. Zhaoji, have you forgotten, or... have you changed?"

Long Mohan's deep gaze was like a deep pool, dark and bottomless.

Ji Anni was trapped in a corner by him, with nowhere to hide. She lowered her head in panic, not daring to meet his gaze that was filled with confusion and questioning.

I can’t hide it anymore, I can’t hide it anymore… He finally found out that I’m not Soji’s secret, I can’t hide it any longer…

"Zhao Ji, can you please answer me, what's wrong with you?" Long Mohan tightly grasped Ji Anni's wrist.

The force that almost broke Ji Anni's hand bones made her realize that Long Mohan must hear a satisfactory answer today before he would let go.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Ji Anni took several deep breaths but couldn't muster up the courage to say the five words "I am not Zhao Ji".

In just a short moment, countless images flashed through her mind. In those images, there were Long Mohan's shocked expression, angry expression, and even an expression of him roaring that he wanted to behead her.

The truth was right on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't say it because I was worried about the consequences.

"Zhao Ji... I don't want to wait any longer. Whenever I see you deliberately avoiding me and resisting me, I want to hug you tightly and ask you what's wrong..."

Having said this, Long Mohan had already hugged the stunned Ji Anni tightly in his arms.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Ji Anni was so frightened that she felt her spine was almost broken by the other party's arms.

"Souji, are you still by my side? Why can't I feel you?... Even though I'm hugging you so tightly, I still feel like you're far away from me..."

Long Mohan buried his head in Ji Anni's shoulder, deeply inhaling the unique light fragrance on her body, as if he wanted to confirm her reality and existence through this familiar body temperature.

"Your Majesty, can you please let me go first?" Ji Anni grabbed Long Mohan's shoulders and tried to push him away. But the other party's immovable state made Ji Anni realize for the first time that her strength was so weak.

"Zhao Ji, no matter what the reason is... I beg you, please tell me, okay... Even if, even if you say you no longer love me... I will... absolutely not blame you..."

A hoarse voice, a final plea, it turns out that Long Mohan thought Zhao Ji had changed her mind. It's no wonder, anyone would have thought Zhao Ji had changed her mind.

Ji Anni waved her hands and explained, "Your Majesty, don't let your imagination run wild. I think... I think Zhao Ji must still love you very much... It's just, it's just..."

"Just what?" Long Mohan heard a hint of mystery from Ji Anni's words just now, and subconsciously loosened his arms that were hugging Ji Anni, and moved a little distance away from Ji Anni.

Just now Ji Anni said, "I think Zhao Ji must love you very much." From this sentence, we can hear that "I" and "Zhao Ji" are already two people.

"Who are you? Who are you?" Long Mohan's voice suddenly became stern, as if he was interrogating a prisoner in court.

He frantically grabbed Ji Anni's wrist, leaving her no chance of escape.

At this moment, he was finally no longer confused and no longer deceived himself. He told himself over and over again: This woman is not Zhao Ji, this strange woman - definitely not Zhao Ji whom he loved deeply!

"Your Majesty, I don't want to lie to you, I really don't want to lie to you... Please calm down first, and I will tell you slowly, okay?" Ji Anni persuaded Long Mohan while looking around worriedly.

Fortunately, the door had been closed long ago, and the surroundings were deserted, so no one heard their conversation.

"Your Majesty, please close the window first and I will tell you slowly, okay?" Ji Anni moved her body slightly towards the window.

Although her right hand was tightly held by Long Mohan, her left hand was still free. She put her left hand behind her back and closed the window with difficulty.

Long Mohan stared at her every move intently, the expression on his face becoming more and more terrifying, like a devil awakening.

Ji Anni began to regret it. If she really told the truth, would the other party be so angry that he would tear her to pieces?
