Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 305 See the light of day again

There was a slope outside the window and a lawn below the slope, so it was easy to climb out.

Ji Anni's chest was pounding, and the green grass under the window made a rustling sound in the breeze, as if inviting her. Facing the infinite temptation outside the window, the weak-willed Ji Anni could no longer withstand the test and leaned out most of her body. As long as she stepped both feet out of the window, she would be out of the room.

What should I do? What should I do? If I really get out, will I be charged with another crime of not following the rules?

but……

Ji Annie looked up at the clear blue sky above her head and the green grass in the distance. She was like a bird trapped in a cage that suddenly found the cage door was open. If she didn't flap her wings and fly high, how could she be worthy of the gift of God's leniency?

Anyway, Wenhuayuan is sparsely populated and the grassland outside the window is deserted, so no one will notice it.

While hypnotizing herself like this, Ji Anni slowly lifted her right leg out of the window.

When she had both feet out of the window and could jump out with just a light jump, she closed her eyes and swore seriously: I swear... I swear I'm just going to sit outside, I won't run too far, and I won't cause any trouble. God, you must protect me from being seen by anyone. Amen.

After saying this, he made the sign of the cross on his chest, like a devout Christian.

"Okay! Blue sky, white clouds, here I come!" Ji Annie suddenly opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and jumped out.

With a light "pop" sound, she landed steadily on the slope.

The green grass on the slope just reached her ankles, it was itchy and comfortable. In the embrace of the green grass and blue sky, Ji Anni breathed in the fresh air outdoors like a prisoner who had been locked up for most of his life and finally saw the light of day again.

It was not yet noon, so the sun was not too harsh. The warm light felt like a tickle on my body, which was wonderful.

It was Ji Anni’s first “prison break” and she didn’t dare to run too far. She didn’t run down the pasture but just sat down leisurely on the slope.

She looked at the endless green in front of her and hummed a little tune happily. Although the scenery she saw was not much different from the scenery she saw through the window in the room just now, her mood was very different from when she was in the room before. When she was in the room, she looked at the green grass with the eyes of a prisoner; now, she looked at the vast nature with the eyes of a free man.

"Well, it's so comfortable." Ji Anni stretched lazily, leaned back, and lay leisurely on the slope.

The sun shone gently on her face. She half squinted her eyes, and through the slits of her eyes she seemed to be able to see the golden spots of sunlight glittering. Everything became beautiful, and her heart, which had suddenly felt lonely because of Shui Furong's departure, was now fully compensated.

Ji Annie thought happily: This is great, next time when the sun is shining, I can crawl out and bask in the sun.

A breeze blew, and the grass beside me made a rustling sound, like a beautiful piece of music.

Just as Ji Anni was enjoying the beautiful nature, she suddenly heard a few knocks on the door behind her.

"Oh no!" Ji Anni felt like she was struck by lightning, and all the hairs on her body stood up in fear.

She just jumped up from the ground and rushed to the window as fast as she could.

Fortunately, she had been an athlete since she was young, and her sports scores had always been the best in the class. It took her less than a blink of an eye to successfully climb back into the room from the slope outside. After jumping off the windowsill, she still felt a little guilty and subconsciously closed the window.

At this time, there was a duet of knocking and calling at the door again.

"Xiao Zhao? Xiao Zhao?" This was Yizhen's voice.

"Wait, wait, I'll be there soon." Ji Anni brushed off the grass debris on her body and ran to open the door in a hurry.

"What's wrong? You're so flustered..." After the door opened, Yizhen stared at Ji Anni suspiciously and looked at her carefully.

"No, no, I was just... just... oh, I was tidying up the room..." Ji Annie laughed.

"Really?" Yizhen didn't seem to believe it, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't stand outside the door, come in." Ji Anni hospitably welcomed Yizhen into the room, "By the way, Yizhen, why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your wound healed? Does it still hurt?" Yizhen said as she checked Ji Anni's shoulder.

Only then did Ji Anni realize that Yizhen had a small medicine box on her arm, probably because she was there to help her change her medicine.

"I've been well for a long time." Ji Anni moved her shoulders to show Yizhen her recovery results.

To be honest, she had long forgotten that she had injured her shoulder. Not to mention the injury on her shoulder in the Demon Suppression Temple, even the injuries in the cave in the woods outside the palace a few days ago had all healed.

The wound was not painful or itchy, and there was not even a scar left. Even Ji Anni could not help but marvel at Zhao Ji's body's ability to recover, which was so fast that it was not like a human being - but she was not a human being to begin with.

"Let me apply the medicine for you again." Yizhen helped Ji Anni to sit down on the bed and opened the medicine box.

Seeing that she was sincere, Ji Anni felt embarrassed to refuse, so she agreed obediently.

The wound was on the shoulder, so to apply medicine, she had to unbutton her shirt and expose her shoulder. When Yizhen was helping Ji Anni undress, she suddenly paused and stared at the wound on Ji Anni's shoulder in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Yizhen looked strange, Ji Anni turned her head and asked worriedly.

Yizhen used two fingers to take something off Ji Anni's collar.

Because of the angle of view, Ji Anni couldn't see clearly what Yizhen took down, but when Yizhen brought the thing in front of her, she was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Because what Yizhen held in her hand was a piece of green grass.

It is impossible for such fresh grass to grow in Ji Annie's bare room without a trace of green.

Ji Anni was afraid that Yizhen would get suspicious, so she quickly explained, "Haha, this... this, this is probably the grass outside the door."

Coincidentally, there is a small garden outside the door, with many green plants and colorful flowers.

If it was Shui Furong or Princess Tianning, who were carefree, Ji Anni might have been able to hide it, but Yizhen was a careful person. She stared at the grass at her fingertips for a long time and muttered, "No... the grass in the garden outside is not like this..."

Then, Yizhen searched on Ji Anni's clothes and found a few more similar pieces of grass.

Not only are the grass clippings of strange species, but the locations where they appear are also strange.

Shouldn't grass clippings usually stick to the hem of a skirt? But these grass clippings stuck to Ji Anni's back and shoulders.

Only by lying flat on the lawn can you get the grass clippings stuck to your back...

Although there were flowers and grass in the small garden outside, there was no space for Ji Annie to lie down.

So these grass clippings couldn't have come from outside the door, so...

As she was thinking, Yizhen raised her head, and after scanning the room, her eyes finally stopped on the window.

Fortunately, Ji Annie had the foresight to close the window, so Yizhen, who couldn't see the lawn outside the window, didn't guess the truth immediately.

"Okay, Yizhen, aren't you here to apply medicine to me?" Ji Anni hurriedly used her body to block Yizhen's sight, fearing that Yizhen would discover the secret outside the window. In fact, it was not that she didn't trust Yizhen, but she was afraid that after Yizhen knew about it, she would nag in her ear like her mother, constantly scolding and teaching her a lesson. Ji Anni was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of others nagging in her ear.

Ji Anni's panicked reaction only deepened Yizhen's suspicion of the window. She put down the medicine box, suddenly stood up, and rushed straight to the window. She stretched out her hand and pushed, and the window opened, and the green grass outside the window was exposed to Yizhen without any cover.

The truth was clear, and Ji Anni knew she could no longer hide it, so she sighed helplessly.

Yizhen stared at the lawn for a few seconds, and after she was sure that the grass outside the window was the same species as the grass clippings on Ji Anni's body, she turned around angrily and asked seriously, "Xiao Zhao, did you jump out from here?"

"Shhh." Ji Anni ran forward, pulled Yizhen back to the bed from the window, and explained, "Okay, Yizhen, I won't hide it from you. I did slip out from here just now, but I promise that I have absolutely no intention of running away. I just... just... just want to go out for some fresh air. This room is too stuffy. Shui Furong also moved out today. Alas..."

Speaking of Shui Furong's departure, Ji Anni couldn't help but put on a lonely and sad expression again.

"Even if this is the case, you can't do this. Do you know that if someone sees you, maybe... maybe the Queen Mother will never let you leave Wenhua Courtyard again." Yizhen made the consequences sound serious, because only in this way could she scare Ji Anni.

"Don't worry, I promise I'll be careful." Ji Anni's face was full of ingratiating smiles.

"You mean... you still want to sneak out?" Yizhen immediately heard the hidden meaning in Ji Anni's words.

"I...I...I didn't say I wanted to slip away..." Ji Anni accidentally told the truth just now. After being caught by Yizhen's pigtail, she wanted to change her words now, but it sounded like just perfunctory words.

"Then you promise me." Yizhen was worried and insisted that Ji Anni make a promise to her.

"Let's not talk about this for now, okay?" Ji Anni quickly changed the subject, diverting Yizhen's attention elsewhere, "Ouch, my wound hurts again, Yizhen, you should help me apply the medicine first."

The acting is so poor that Yizhen pouted.

"You..." Although she was dissatisfied, Yizhen still patted the back of Ji Anni's hand lovingly. She did not force her to make a promise. Instead, she picked up the medicine box again and helped Ji Anni apply the medicine.

When Ji Annie exposed her shoulder, Yizhen searched on her shoulder for a long time before finally finding the location of the wound.

It seems that Ji Anni did not lie, her wound had indeed healed long ago.

Seeing Ji Anni recover so quickly, Yizhen was slightly surprised and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are really a strange person..."

The wound on her shoulder was caused by a sword, and it was almost bone-piercing. But it took Ji Anni only ten days to recover and the wound was almost gone. Apart from the word "strange person", there is really no other word to describe her.
