Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 512 Impunity

The memory ended, and Shui Furong suddenly returned to reality. Ji Anni in front of her seemed to have turned into her sister in a trance, with eyes full of incomprehensible thoughts.

"What is your wish..." Shui Furong asked, gazing into those deep eyes. As soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by her sister.

"Furong, I want to hear you call me mother." She leaned her head on Shui Furong's shoulder because she was afraid to face his expression when he heard the news. "... Before I completely disappear from this world, I hope you can call me mother in person... because I am your real mother..."

Mustering up the greatest courage of my life, I finally spoke out this secret that was about to be buried.

"What..." Shui Furong's body suddenly became stiff, her eyes staring straight ahead, but she could see nothing but darkness.

Many memories emerged at the same time, filling my mind. My head immediately started to hurt, as if it was about to explode.

"I'm sorry, Furong... I didn't recognize you until the last moment before I died. I should have disappeared from the world after death, but I kept lingering around, just because I wanted to see you one last time... I can't rest in peace without seeing you..." The slightly trembling body hugged Shui Furong tighter again. The pain of the impending separation made her unwilling to reduce her strength in the slightest. "Furong... I thought I could keep this secret forever, but... I couldn't help wanting to recognize you after all."

There was a faint sound of crying in the choked voice.

Shui Furong's mind was clear at one moment and confused at another. Things that she couldn't understand in the past suddenly became clear to her.

Why was my sister afraid of hearing others say that she looked like her, and why the look in her eyes when she looked at me was always filled with sadness? It turned out to be this reason.

Before he died, Xiwei told Shui Furong a truth that had been hidden for a long time.

At that time, Shui Dujuan and her mother were pregnant at the same time, but Dujuan was unmarried, and it was not in accordance with etiquette for her to get pregnant before marriage, so Shui's father secretly sent Dujuan to a temple to rest. This matter was kept secret, and even her mother did not know about it, and thought that Dujuan was just copying scriptures and cultivating herself in the temple.

Later, Dujuan and her mother gave birth at the same time. Dujuan gave birth to a healthy boy, but the baby in her mother's womb died.

Shui's father originally planned to give Dujuan's child to someone else to raise, but suddenly changed his mind. He falsely claimed that Dujuan's child was born to her mother, secretly brought the child back to the Shui family, and raised him as a young master - this child is now Shui Furong. The mother is still in the dark about this matter, and only Dujuan and Shui's father know the truth. The mother always thought that Shui Furong was her own flesh and blood, but she didn't know that it was actually her daughter's child who had been pregnant for ten months.

"Furong, I don't have much time left... You have to take good care of yourself in the future. Although I can't be with you, I will always bless you with peace and happiness..." As she spoke, she burst into tears.

Shui Furong was held in Xiwei's arms like a wooden puppet without a soul.

Although no one had ever told him the truth, he had long been aware of his life experience from the eyes of his sister and father. Now that he thought about it, many things that he had never understood finally became clear. At first glance, it sounded like an unbelievable story, but he had no doubts at all.

At this time, Ji Anni, who had merged with Xiwei, was so surprised that her mind went blank.

It turns out that Concubine Shui Cong is not Shui Furong's sister, but her mother. How could she enter the palace when she had given birth to a child?

However, the governor of Qingzhou has great power and influence. Since even the male Shui Furong can enter the palace, it should be even easier for Du Juan to enter the palace.

At this time, Xi Wei continued: "I watched you grow up day by day, and my heart became more and more painful. I just wanted to hide in a place where I could never see you again..."

Because of this, Du Juan decided to enter the palace. She just wanted to be a little concubine, living alone far away from home until she died. However, after Queen Wang died, the late emperor had no children. Under the advice of the court officials, he began to favor concubines in turn, but most of those concubines were not allowed to have children. Later, when it was Du Juan's turn to serve the emperor, the emperor naturally found out that she was not a virgin. Du Juan did not hide and honestly told her story. For some reason, the late emperor did not get angry, but left his sperm in her body.

In this way, Du Juan, who had no extravagant hope for the throne of the harem, almost became the empress. However, the late emperor never expected that his one thought would not only fail to make Du Juan the empress, but also cause her innocent death. The cause of death has become an unsolved case in the palace and has not been solved to this day.

Hearing this, Shui Furong couldn't help but ask: "Who killed you?"

Xi Wei suddenly fell silent, as if she didn't want Shui Furong to avenge her. "My last wish is to see you and tell you the truth... It doesn't matter who killed me, maybe this is my fate... It's God's punishment for me..."

After hearing Xiwei's words, Shui Furong suddenly became excited, grabbed Xiwei's hand and said, "Since you know who killed you, why don't you tell me? If I can't avenge you, I'm not worthy of being your brother..." She paused here, and then abruptly said, "I'm not worthy of being your child... and even less worthy of calling you mother..."

Looking at Shui Furong's determined eyes, Xi Wei finally gave in. She said softly, "It was Yan Niang. She was the one who used the soul-stealing technique to kill me back then."

"Yan Niang." Shui Furong gritted her teeth and repeated the name.

Seeing his eyes full of hatred, Xi Wei hurriedly advised: "But don't make an enemy of her. She is a thousand-year-old fox demon with great magical powers. Ordinary humans are no match for her."

"I don't care if she is a demon or a monster. Even if she is a deity, I must kill her and make her pay with her life." Shui Furong said fiercely.

"I don't need you to avenge me. I will be satisfied as long as I can recognize you." Xiwei's fingers gently stroked Shui Furong's face, staring at him intently, as if he wanted to deeply engrave every detail of his face in his mind.

"Then who is my biological father?" Shui Furong suddenly asked.

Xiwei stiffened for a moment, his lips trembling slightly, and finally he bit his lips tightly without saying a word.

"Who is my father?" Shui Furong grabbed Xiwei's arm and asked again.

Xiwei suddenly shed tears and said softly: "Although your mother is not your biological mother, your father... is still your father..."

"What?" Shui Furong was a little slow to react. She stared blankly at Xiwei who didn't dare to meet her gaze.

At this moment, Xiwei suddenly covered her chest and cried out in pain. Shui Furong was so scared that she quickly supported her shoulders.

However, when Xiwei looked up at Shui Furong again, Shui Furong realized that the other person was no longer her sister, but Ji Annie.

Ji Anni said in a hoarse voice: "Furong, it's me. Shui Congfei has left."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the center of the room. Xi Wei's faint figure was standing there. Her body was more transparent than when she came, almost blending into the night. The part below the knees had disappeared, leaving only a shadow that was so light that it seemed that it could be blown away by the night wind at any time.

Shui Furong hugged her head tightly as she suffered a splitting headache. Xi Wei's last words lingered in her mind like a curse.

Father is still father means... am I the child of my elder sister and father? Impossible, how could this be! My most respected father, my favorite elder sister, everything that was once beautiful suddenly turned to ashes before my eyes. All my memories suddenly became lies, and the whole world became hypocritical.

"Furong..." Xiwei, who had no legs, slowly floated over, stroked him with her invisible hands, and spoke softly with her inaudible voice, "I know this truth will make you painful, but I gave birth to you because I loved him... He also kept you by his side and raised you because he loved you... Although we lied to everyone, our feelings for you are real... If you really love him, don't be afraid to give; if you are wrong, don't be afraid to face it. He is my stepfather and the person I love the most. My mother and I are pregnant with the same person's child, but God punished us by not allowing us to recognize each other..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and the figure became fainter and fainter. When he said this, Xi Wei had completely disappeared, leaving only a faint sigh, which slowly spread in the cold night. It brushed past Ji Anni's ears and across Shui Furong's face.

Ji Anni gently hugged Shui Furong and looked at the place where Xi Wei had just stood. After a long time, she finally realized that Xi Wei had completely disappeared.

Xiwei's disappearance proved that Yuanrong had also been destroyed both physically and spiritually. The god-killing fire in the Demon-Suppressing Temple completely resolved the biggest danger in the palace.

"Furong, Shui Congfei has disappeared..." Ji Anni whispered softly in Shui Furong's ear.

Shui Furong still covered her head, leaning motionlessly in Ji Anni's arms.

Ji Anni looked at him distressedly, not knowing how to comfort him. Shui Furong entered the palace to find the truth, and now he finally found it, but not only did he not let it go, but he became even more painful. If he had known that this was the truth, I wonder if he would regret his decision to enter the palace.

"Furong, what are your plans next?" Ji Annie asked softly.

The palace is now in turmoil. Not only is it suffering from floods, but there are also evil spirits causing trouble. The emperor has long decided to move the capital, and now is the best time to leave the palace.

Although she was reluctant to leave Shui Furong, Ji Anni sincerely hoped that Shui Furong could leave this dangerous place.

However, Shui Furong said something unexpected: "Now that we know the real murderer, of course we have to take revenge." After that, she slowly raised her head and stared at Ji Anni's nervous face seriously. "If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. Even if she is a monster, she cannot go unpunished."

"But you are no match for Yan Niang. Besides, her whereabouts are unknown and she hasn't appeared for a long time."

"Just because she's a monster, she can escape punishment?" The voice suddenly got louder.

The reason why he lost control was because he was unwilling to accept it. Just as Xiwei and Ji Anni said, how could ordinary humans be opponents of monsters? The pain of knowing who the murderer was but not being able to take revenge tortured him deeply and made him extremely restless.
