Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 330 Leniency for confession

"Your Majesty, I can tell you the truth, but...but you have to promise first that you will never get angry...didn't you just say that you wouldn't get angry even if I said I didn't love you..."

Before confessing, Ji Anni had to clarify the conditions with Long Mohan. Long Mohan was a man of good reputation. At least so far, he had barely fulfilled the promises he made to Ji Anni.

"Okay, I promise I won't be angry." At the critical moment, Long Mohan calmed down. He loosened his grip on Ji Anni's hand and stopped treating her like a prisoner.

Ji Annie rubbed the place on her wrist that was pinched by Long Mohan, and subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance of about two steps away from Long Mohan.

Although Long Mohan was calm and looked normal, he was actually an active volcano. In places that Ji Anni could not see, the hot magma was already boiling.

Ji Anni whispered, "Your Majesty, it's not that Zhao Ji doesn't love you and is hiding from you, but... but... but I don't love you."

As she spoke, she dodged backwards. After she finished speaking, she was about two or three meters away from Long Mohan.

"What?" Long Mohan approached quickly and almost trapped Ji Anni in the corner again.

Ji Anni slid away from him swiftly, trotting to hide in another corner, growling, "Your Majesty, I, I am actually... not the Zhao Ji you love!"

"Then who are you?... You are not Zhao Ji, then who are you!" Long Mohan was almost driven crazy by her. He wanted to rip her mouth open and let her say all the words in one breath.

When Ji Anni saw Long Mohan rushing towards her again with anger on his face, she was so scared that she hid and ran around the room.

"You wouldn't know me anyway. I'm just a nobody."

"Impossible, you are obviously Soji!"

The space in the room was too small, and Ji Anni was unable to escape Long Mohan's pursuit, and was tightly grasped by him on the shoulders.

With nowhere to escape, Ji Anni had no choice but to look up and said to Long Mohan in shock, "Your Majesty, although this body is Zhao Ji's, the soul is no longer Zhao Ji's soul."

After she said this, Long Mohan seemed to understand and asked cautiously, "Are you a monster?"

Ji Anni hurriedly explained, "I'm not a monster. I was just pulled into this world from another time and space by mistake, and happened to get into Zhao Ji's body."

Just after I finished explaining, I felt something was wrong. Although I am not a monster, Zhao Ji is a monster... Oh, forget it. Maybe Long Mohan doesn't know that he married a fox monster.

Don't let him know this secret for the time being. Otherwise, if he knows too much at once, he might become insane due to excessive shock.

The truth that Ji Anni had revealed had almost overwhelmed Long Mohan. He was not angry, but very worried, so worried that he lost all his calmness and became impatient.

He grabbed Ji Anni's shoulders and shook her vigorously. At the same time, he shouted impatiently, "What about Zhao Ji? Where is Zhao Ji?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Ji Annie hurriedly covered Long Mohan's yelling mouth.

There are many people in the palace and they all have ears. If their conversation is accidentally heard by others, it will be very bad.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Zhao Ji must be fine. Maybe, she is living in my previous body. I have been strong since I was a child, with strong limbs and no illness or pain. I guarantee that Zhao Ji will be like a fish in water and free after entering my body."

Clearly, these words were meant to comfort Long Mohan, but as they went on, they turned into brazen self-promotion.

Ji Anni hurriedly stopped herself and changed the topic, "No, no, this is not the time. In short, Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhao Ji will definitely return to you safely. But before Zhao Ji comes back, it's better for us not to be too close. After all, I'm not Zhao Ji, not your wife... This is why I have been avoiding you."

Next, Ji Anni explained to Long Mohan in detail her experience of traveling through time and space.

While narrating what happened, he had to give out the key figure Yun Zhen.

In order to summon back Zhao Ji's soul and return Ji Anni's soul, Yun Zhen is an indispensable and important condition.

Another purpose of Ji Anni's betrayal of Yun Zhen was to make Long Mohan understand the importance of Yun Zhen and do everything possible to keep Yun Zhen in the palace.

"In other words, no one knows how to get Zhao Ji back now?" Long Mohan listened to Ji Anni for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to summon Zhao Ji back.

"There must be a way. Yun Zhen will definitely find a way." Ji Anni has great confidence in Yun Zhen. Although Yun Zhen still doesn't know how to send Ji Anni back to her original world, this does not affect Ji Anni's admiration for Yun Zhen at all. She is like a crazy fan of Yun Zhen, believing and supporting Yun Zhen unconditionally.

"What red moon covering the sun, what time and space changes, these are all coincidences. How could the same coincidence happen again!" Long Mohan covered his head in annoyance. His head started to hurt again. He was not as optimistic as Ji Anni. Zhao Ji's life and death were unknown, and her whereabouts were unknown. How could he be at ease and not be anxious?

It turned out that the Zhao Ji he had been facing for more than a month was no longer Zhao Ji. He couldn't do anything to Ji Anni now, because without Ji Anni's soul, Zhao Ji's body was just a shell and couldn't even move.

What should I do to get Zhao Ji back to my side?

"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. I'm not anxious either, so why are you so anxious?" Seeing that Long Mohan was about to scratch his scalp, Ji Annie hurriedly grabbed his hand with concern.

"What should we do now? How can Zhao Ji come back?" Long Mohan grabbed Ji Anni with his backhand as if he had caught the culprit.

Ji Anni frowned in pain and kept shouting, "Your Majesty, it hurts... It hurts so much, I really don't know how to get Zhao Ji back, why don't you go ask Yun Zhen?"

"You really didn't lie to me?" Long Mohan looked at Ji Anni suspiciously, trying to find clues from Ji Anni's expression to determine whether she was lying or not.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Even if I have the courage of the sky, I dare not lie to you." Ji Annie was afraid that Long Mohan would push her out of the Meridian Gate and behead her in a rage, so she had to put on a flattering smile.

"How can you prove it?" Long Mohan grabbed Ji Anni's hand tightly, refusing to let go for a moment.

Ji Anni groaned in pain, her eyebrows wrinkled, and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, can't you tell at a glance whether my body is Zhao Ji? Can't you tell at a glance whether my soul is Zhao Ji? So what proof do you need? Isn't your understanding of Zhao Ji the best proof?"

After listening to Ji Anni's words, Long Mohan finally calmed down a little. Yes, his understanding of Zhao Ji is the best proof.

The body in front of us now is definitely Soji's body, and Soji's personality suddenly changed drastically before and after entering the palace is the best evidence that Soji's soul has been replaced.

"Your Majesty, be gentle... be gentle, this is Zhaoji's body... you don't want to hurt her, do you?" Seeing that Long Mohan had eased his strength a little, Ji Anni hurriedly pulled her hand that was pinched and hurt out from between his fingers.

Ouch, it hurts so much. There are three red marks left on my body. This emperor was really harsh. I didn’t swap with Zhao Ji just because I was happy. I am also a victim.

Ji Anni was right. Even if Long Mohan was angry, he couldn't do anything to Zhao Ji's body. When he saw the three red marks on Ji Anni's wrist where he had strangled her, he frowned in pain. Alas, that was Zhao Ji's body after all.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Long Mohan didn't say anything for a long time, Ji Anni looked at him worriedly.

"Hmph, I've long thought you were weird. So that's it... So that's it..." Long Mohan suddenly burst into laughter and raised his hands to cover his eyes while laughing, as if he didn't want Ji Anni to see his tears.

He should have discovered Ji Anni's secret long ago, but he didn't dare to think deeply or ask, and kept trying to convince himself that Zhao Ji's change was just his illusion. But now, he heard such an incredible fact.

If I had known this, I should have exposed Ji Anni's lies earlier. Now more than a month has passed, and where is Zhao Ji, whose life or death is unknown? Is she suffering?

Anxiety, self-blame, pain, all kinds of bitter emotions surged towards Long Mohan and drowned him.

He kept regretting not exposing Ji Anni's lies earlier. If he had exposed Ji Anni earlier, he might have found a way to get Zhao Ji back.

Long Mohan was immersed in deep self-blame, shaking his head and sighing. Ji Anni looked at him worriedly, not knowing how to comfort him.

After a while, Long Mohan finally stopped sighing and raised his head, looking at Ji Anni with bright eyes, and asked, "Is Yun Zhen the only one who can do it? Can't Taoist Yuan Rong do it?"

Taoist Yuan Rong has a deeper level of cultivation than Yun Zhen. If Yun Zhen is helpless, Taoist Yuan Rong may have a way to bring Zhao Ji back.

Upon hearing the name "Master Yuan Rong", Ji Anni shuddered with fear and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, Your Majesty, you must not tell Master Yuan Rong about this matter. He will only make things worse. You can only trust Yun Zhen in this matter. Only Yun Zhen can help you. Now in the palace, only you, me, and Yun Zhen know Zhao Ji's secret. You must not let a fourth person know."
