Chapter 182 Last Wish
Chapter 182 Last Wish
The low sound of wind blew past her ears, and Ji Anni's body felt slightly cold.
At this moment, Baogui Fei and the huge black shadow behind her made her fall into inexplicable fear.
Concubine Baogui's pale face was filled with an expression of sorrow and pain.
She would never have imagined that when she broke through the torment of the passing of time, broke through the cage of the palace, broke through the boundaries of yin and yang, life and death, and wanted to take Yun Zhen away - the one who stopped her was Ji Anni, whom she had cared for and admired.
The reason why Ji Anni stopped her was very simple. From Ji Anni's conflicted and painful look, Baogui Fei understood everything...
They both fell in love with the same person.
She once silently admitted defeat, silently watched herself and Yun Zhen, and blessed herself and Yun Zhen...
But now, she finally plucked up the courage to stand up, standing between herself and Yun Zhen with determination and unyielding spirit.
Although her eyes were filled with tears and her expression was distorted with pain, there was always a sense of awe-inspiring fortitude on her face, like the pine trees that could not be crushed by snow and the plum blossoms that could not be withered by frost, they were proud and unyielding and should not be underestimated.
The corners of Baoer's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Ji Anni blankly and smiled.
Suddenly, she understood that she couldn't take Yun Zhen away from Ji Anni who had such a look in her eyes.
"Xiao Zhao..." Baoer's low cry was like the lightest string on a piano, so faint and weak that it would break when plucked.
Ji Anni's throat was choked with sobs and she held Yun Zhen's hand tightly.
"Xiao Zhao, are you really unwilling to let Yun Zhen go?" Baoer asked slowly.
Ji Anni didn't say anything, she just stared at Concubine Baogui's face and shook her head continuously.
Baoer smiled silently and asked, "Xiao Zhao, do you like Yun Zhen?"
"I, I..." Ji Anni's expression suddenly became panicked, and her tongue became tied due to nervousness.
"Xiao Zhao, if you want to keep Yun Zhen, give me a reason that can convince me..."
"I...I..." Ji Anni was still anxious and blocked, unable to speak.
If I admit in front of Empress Bao that she likes Yun Zhen, then I will be like a third party who has stolen her love.
But if you deny it outright, you'd be like a hypocritical, cowardly coward.
She once taught Yun Zhen a lesson in a righteous manner because of the matter of Baogui Concubine, and said to him: If you don’t even have the courage to say that you love her, then you are not qualified to love her.
But now that it’s my turn, I realize that it’s really hard to say the simple word “love”.
When you love someone in your heart, it is just your own secret and little happiness.
But when you make your love for someone public, it's like a promise, a vow, and it embodies the awareness of taking on a certain responsibility.
Baogui Fei waited for a while, then said softly: "Xiao Zhao, you don't have to answer me. I know that if you lose Yun Zhen now, you will be very painful. But if you can't let go now, it will be even more painful in the future..."
Baoer's eyes gradually became blurred, as if he suddenly remembered his story with Yun Zhen.
If she had been able to cut off her love 10 years ago, she wouldn't have suffered the next 10 years.
Looking at Ji Anni in front of me, it was as if I saw the innocent self ten years ago...
"Xiao Zhao, you are now the imperial concubine, maybe in the future you will be the noble concubine, or even the queen... You and I are both destined to be women in the harem... If you were me, after struggling for ten years, you ended up with such a result of separation between the Yin and Yang, would you regret your original decision?... Would you wish that time could go back and give you another chance to choose again?"
"My lady, do you regret it?"
Ji Anni's sudden question caught Baoer off guard.
Regret? I regret it all the time...
But if God gives me another chance to choose, I might repeat the same mistake.
Baoer suddenly understood.
For some things, even if you know the consequences and the outcome, you still cannot make the smartest choice.
Like a moth that flies into the flames, it throws itself into the sea of fire that will devour it without hesitation.
Before your body turns to ashes, indulge in the heat that fascinates you.
Happiness is always fleeting, but pain is always long and endless.
During these ten years, although I have cried and felt pain, I have also laughed and felt happy.
Now, I only remember those painful things and have forgotten the little joys I felt when my eyes met his.
If I had given up everything ten years ago and cut off all ties, I wouldn't even be able to pick up these fragments of happiness.
"My queen..." Ji Anni said softly, "I had a dream the morning before yesterday... In the dream, it was just like now, you were holding one of Yun Zhen's hands, and I was holding the other hand of Yun Zhen... In the dream, I chose to give up. But after waking up, my chest hurt as if there was a hole in it. Hua Rong said that the decision that made me so painful must be a wrong decision. So now, I must never make the same mistake as in the dream again... My queen, do you blame me?"
Baoer shook his head gently.
Seeing Concubine Baogui's indifferent and desolate expression, Ji Anni's tears rolled out.
"My queen... I don't know what happened to me. In fact, I gave up a long time ago... I know Yun Zhen loves you, and you love Yun Zhen too... I have no right to compete with you for anything, but... but..."
"Xiao Zhao..." Baoer gently interrupted Ji Anni's frantic self-blaming words, his eyes gradually dimmed, "Xiao Zhao, I lost this time, I should admit defeat to you... You are right, Yun Zhen and I belong to two different worlds... I am not qualified to love him, let alone take him away, but I still have one last wish..."
Having said that, Baoer let go of Yun Zhen's hand that she was holding tightly.
Yun Zhen, who had lost his mind, almost fell down, but fortunately Ji Annie was quick to catch him.
Baoer's body floated in the air, slowly moving towards Yunzhen. She gently held Yunzhen's face with her hands and leaned over, wanting to kiss him.
But their bodies penetrated each other and could not touch each other at all.
It was not until this moment that Bao Er truly realized that she and Yun Zhen... could never be together again...
Even my last wish to kiss him before leaving could not be fulfilled.
She looked very sad and there were faint sobbing sounds coming from her throat.
"Your Majesty..." Ji Anni was in more pain than Concubine Baogui, but she was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say to comfort Concubine Baogui's pain.
"Xiao Zhao, can you do me a favor?" Baoer's sad eyes drifted to Ji Anni's face.
When she looked at her, Ji Anni could do nothing but nod.
So Baoer's hand gently reached out to Ji Anni's body...
The hand did not penetrate Ji Anni like smoke, but entered Ji Anni's body little by little.
Not only her hands, but Concubine Baogui's entire body was attached to Ji Anni.
Suddenly, a chill came over my heart, seeping from head to toe.
Ji Anni shuddered from the cold, and the next moment, her body moved uncontrollably.
She hugged Yun Zhen's neck tightly with both hands, then raised her head slightly and put her mouth on Yun Zhen's cold lips...
