Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 139 The Deepest Chapter

At that time, Ji Anni didn't know what Xiaoyao was afraid of, nor did she know how ominous Xiaoyao's so-called "ominous premonition" was. She just thought that maybe the baby concubine needed Yun Zhen now, just like she wanted Yun Zhen to accompany her when she was sad. It was a kind of spiritual power. And all she could do was try not to disturb them and let them heal themselves until the wound healed.

On the other hand, in the West Palace, the palace maids were serving outside. The huge room was silent. On a soft couch covered with golden brocade cushions, Baogui Concubine and her last guest of the day, Yun Zhen, sat silently across a low-legged square table.

Baoguifei had no makeup on her face, and her hair was simply tied up, without a hairpin or a crown. Her simplicity revealed a sense of exhaustion that made one's heart ache. On her slender and pale neck, even the veins could be seen clearly, making Yun Zhen, who was sitting next to her, feel that Bao'er seemed even thinner and more heartbreaking.

Ten years, exactly ten years.

From the moment he followed her into the palace ten years ago, he knew that she would never be his woman.

I am also very clear that the feelings I have given will no longer be rewarded.

He had neither the ability nor the ambition to compete with the king for a woman, so all he could do was to quietly guard her.

When she is happy, be happy with her; when she is sad, give her some comfort.

Without any desires, and without asking for anything in return, he simply hopes to protect her until the end of his life.

In the past ten years, the two have maintained an ambiguous relationship that seems close but not far away. Logically, rumors should have spread in the palace. But incredibly, in the past ten years, there has been no scandal between Concubine Baogui and Yun Zhen.

On the one hand, it may be because both of them are from prominent families, and Concubine Baogui has the vague protection of the empress dowager, so the other concubines dare not gossip about them; on the other hand, it is probably because both of them are relatively prestigious people in the harem, and the palace maids and eunuchs respect them very much and will not spread rumors or cause trouble.

So these long ten years can be said to be peaceful.

But the biggest turmoil was when the late emperor crowned the queen three years ago.

At that time, a concubine of the Shui family died, and Concubine Baogui was also possessed by the wronged spirit.

Although the evil spirit was later eliminated by Yun Zhen, the little prince born to Concubine Shui Cong also fell into a well and died not long after.

After that, the Empress Dowager's maid Yanniang left the palace, and almost all the maids close to Concubine Baogui were replaced. It was from that time that Xiaoyao began to serve Concubine Baogui.

As for the concubine of the Shui family who died and the little prince who fell into a well and died young, few people mentioned their stories. Perhaps everyone was concerned about the powerful An family and did not dare to discuss the details.

"Baoer..." Yun Zhen called softly.

He thought that Concubine Baogui's anxiety came from the eyes of others and her disloyalty to the late emperor, so he comforted her: "Don't be too hard on yourself. No one will blame you... Besides, it was the Queen Mother's decision to keep you in the palace, and you had no choice... The most important thing now is to take good care of your body, and give the Emperor another healthy and intelligent prince after ten months."

After Yun Zhen finished speaking, Concubine Baogui was unable to raise her head for a long time.

Scattered hair hung down from her ears, covering her face. In the dim light, it was hard to tell her facial expression at the moment. I only felt that her posture of lowering her head showed sadness and loneliness.

"Boa..."

Yun Zhen couldn't continue his words, because from the moment he saw Guibao Concubine today, Guibao Concubine hadn't said a word to him. She just sat there quietly, as if she was thinking deeply about something, or as if she was waiting for something...

"Boa..."

Yun Zhen couldn't remember how many times he had called out in such a low voice. Every time he called out and received no response from Guibao Fei, his heart suddenly sank. Now his heart had sunk like a piece of hard iron with sharp edges, pressing deeply into his body, so heavy that it seemed to have crushed all his internal organs.

Every moment of waiting seemed so long, Yun Zhen's eyes had gradually lost their previous calmness and began to become anxious. However, at this moment, a very light and faint voice sounded in the silent space.

That was the sound of a drop of liquid suddenly falling on the table.

It was clearly just a very light sound, but suddenly it was like a huge wave that hit Yun Zhen head-on.

"Baby..." Yun Zhen suddenly wanted to hug his beloved who was so close to him.

But before he decided to stand up, he heard the choking voice of Concubine Baogui.

"I can't wait any longer... Yun Zhen, I know I can never wait any longer..."

After taking a deep breath, Baogui Fei's tears fell like a torrential rain, and the table top was soon wet.

"Boa..."

Yun Zhen was so frightened by her tears that he even forgot to grab her shoulders and ask her what was wrong.

"Yun Zhen... Yun Zhen..." Baogui Fei's voice became more and more choked, and every time she spoke a word, it seemed as if she was about to die. Not only did she lose her usual speaking rhythm, but she also almost lost her breathing rhythm. Only the sound of tears falling continuously sounded, causing Yun Zhen's heartbeat to speed up along with the speed of the tears falling.

"Baoer, don't cry first, what happened?"

Yun Zhen finally regained his composure, smoothed away the messy hair that was blocking Baogui Fei's cheek, looked at her with heartache and asked.

"I know I can't wait any longer..." Baogui Fei just kept repeating these incomprehensible words, biting her lower lip and shaking her head, as if she was about to cry herself into unconsciousness.

"Boa..."

My heart hurts more than a knife.

If possible, Yun Zhen really wanted to hug her. If possible, Yun Zhen really wanted to give her more comfort.

But now, apart from gently wiping the tears from her face and watching her cry, Yun Zhen didn't dare to make any intimate moves.

What exactly is Concubine Baogui waiting for, and why does she say that she will never get it?

Although he didn't ask, Yun Zhen already had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his mind.

He was the one who had protected her for several years. He thought he knew her best. He could even tell her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness from a simple look - he should be the person closest to her heart, but the huge wall between them was like a sharp knife that had severed all the ties between them.

"Yun Zhen." Baogui Concubine suddenly grabbed Yun Zhen's hand, her moist red eyes staring at Yun Zhen with a nervous look and said, "Ten years ago... when I entered the palace, you asked me if I was willing to go with you... Although I refused, although I knew it was impossible for me to escape from all these constraints with you, but... after hearing your words, knowing that you were still willing to take me away, I felt very relieved... I am not afraid even if I enter the palace, because I always feel that you will be by my side... No matter who I am, no matter who you are, no matter how insurmountable the gap between us is, but as long as I have your words, I will not be afraid... You don't know what has supported me from losing hope in the past ten years... You also don't know what kind of eyes I am looking at you with... I know that I can't selfishly tie you to my side, but I am also very afraid that one day you will leave me... The reason why I can hold on until now is not because I am strong, but because I have you by my side... You are... everything to me."

The choking sound was like a taut string as the tears fell silently. It would break immediately if it was plucked lightly. Yun Zhen could only listen quietly, not daring to interrupt the words from the deepest part of Baogui Fei's heart.
