Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 297 Identity Exchange

Hua Rong was Ji Anni's personal maid. Ji Anni was confined to Wenhua Courtyard, so she had nothing to do. In addition, Yan Niang, who was in charge of her, was not in the palace, so no one arranged for Hua Rong to do other work.

Hua Rong only needs to deliver meals to Wenhuayuan three times a day and doesn't have to take care of anything else.

The maids of the concubines lived in a room with six people. During the day, the maids served the concubines and only came back to rest at night. So since Ji Anni was confined to her room, Hua Rong spent more and more time alone in her room.

This is good, it is very quiet and I can think about many things quietly by myself.

Ji Anni was worried that Hua Rong would be confused, but in fact Hua Rong was very calm and not confused at all.

She sat quietly beside the bed, and before she knew it, half a day had passed and the sky was getting gray and dark. Her mind was very calm, and she didn't think about anything, like an empty shell with nothing inside.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had no energy to do anything. She just wanted to sit alone, quietly, for the rest of her life, not thinking about anything, not being bothered by anything. She was like an empty shell, sitting there for the rest of her life.

Is this calm? Or is this just another manifestation of extreme confusion?

In the evening, the sound of light footsteps suddenly came from the quiet yard.

Hua Rong thought that it was the other palace maids who lived with her who had returned, so she quickly woke herself up from her daze, got up and walked to the bed.

At this time, a voice came from outside the window: "Hua Rong."

This voice? Hua Rong's heart sank heavily, and at that moment she didn't dare to look back.

"Huarong..." The other party thought Huarong didn't hear him, so he shouted again.

The voice was miserable and hoarse, as if the person was suppressing the urge to cry, and it sounded particularly heartbreaking.

Somehow, Hua Rong, who had been sitting alone all day without shedding a single tear, suddenly had tears in her eyes. She quickly blinked, sucking back all the tears that were about to seep out of her eyes, turned around and walked to the window, and asked in surprise, "Yuemao, why are you here?"

Yuemao stood outside the window and said, "I feel bad...I want to talk to you, is that ok?"

She asked cautiously, as if she was begging for help from someone she had never met.

In a trance, Huarong realized that there seemed to be many obstacles between her and Yuemao, and they were no longer close.

When she and Yuemao served Princess Tianning together, the two sisters were almost inseparable. Ever since Huarong became Ji Anni's personal maid, the opportunities for them to meet each other began to decrease sharply, and a gap between them unknowingly developed.

"Come in and talk." Hua Rong's throat choked and she pointed her finger in the direction of the door.

Yuemao shook her head and said, "I want to find a quieter place, okay?"

There were six palace maids living in this room. It was already evening, and one of them might come back at any time. Yuemao didn't want others to know that she had come here to look for Huarong, so she wanted to take Huarong to another secluded place for a private talk.

Huarong agreed with Yuemao in everything, nodded, and walked out.

The two walked around the corridor and came to an inconspicuous small garden. The yard was a bit abandoned, with weeds and flowers scattered everywhere. It looked barren. There were huge spider webs in many places. No one had cleaned it for at least three months.

Yuemao said softly, "The princess went to see the young general this morning, and after returning she has been locking herself in her room. She is in a bad mood... but I didn't hear any crying... I don't know what to do..."

Yuemao was very kind, and even at this time, she was still worried about Princess Tianning.

After hearing Yuemao's words, Huarong felt even more sad. She gently stroked Yuemao's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Have the princess decided to marry the general?"

Yuemao nodded and said, "The princess must marry Xiaorong no matter what... Concubine Kang also tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen..."

Hua Rong sighed softly: "The princess has this kind of temper. The more she is told not to do something, the more she will do it."

"What should we do now?" Yuemao subconsciously grabbed Huarong's sleeve, raised her tear-stained face and asked.

In front of Huarong, Yuemao was like a fledgling, without the ability to protect herself and could only hope for the protection of others.

Hua Rong shook her head: "There is no other way... Let the princess marry into the Kang family. I hope that one day the princess can make the young general forget Hua Rong... Then he can get over his past feelings..."

"I know... I know..." Yuemao began to sob slowly, and the sadness gradually made her cry uncontrollably.

Hua Rong stroked her trembling shoulders and comforted her, "Don't cry, didn't I tell you long ago that this is the best ending? Whether it's for the young general, or for the princess, whether it's for you, or for me... this is the best ending."

In fact, Hua Rong had long wanted to push Kang Xiaorong to the princess, but Kang Xiaorong was too sentimental and refused to acknowledge the princess's feelings.

This marriage arranged by the Queen Mother was a perfect opportunity, because it meant that Kang Xiaorong would no longer have an excuse to reject the princess.

Yuemao suddenly threw herself into Huarong's arms, crying hoarsely, "Why didn't you do it? You clearly promised me... Why, why..."

The hoarse roar gradually became quieter, turning into a sad whimper. All the sorrow in Yuemao's heart overflowed with this gentle cry, and Huarong, who was standing quietly beside her, was almost drowned by her sadness.

Huarong hugged Yuemao tightly, choking with sobs and comforting her, "I'm sorry... This is the best ending for the young general. Don't be sad... Sister..."

"I know, I know everything, but I suddenly feel sad. Seeing that he is getting married, my heart suddenly becomes very sad... I don't know what happened... I clearly know that there is no possibility for me to be with him anymore... Why, why..." Yuemao said while wiping away the tears on her face. She laughed foolishly twice, as if she wanted to use this hoarse laughter to cover up her sadness.

"Don't be sad, sister..." Hua Rongbang wiped away her tears and stared at her tearful face worriedly.

Yuemao shook her head. "It's okay... It's really okay. I just wanted to talk to you. After seeing you, all my anxiety and pain disappeared... I shouldn't blame you. If I should blame you, I should only blame myself for asking too much..."

At this point, Yuemao suddenly raised her head nervously, subconsciously grasped Huarong's sleeves and asked, "Do you blame me? Yuemao... do you blame me?"

Hua Rong shook her head, pursed her lips and gave her a faint smile, and said calmly: "No, never."

When no one is around, Huarong calls Yuemao sister and Yuemao calls Huarong Yuemao.

This is their secret, a secret known only to the two of them, not even Kang Xiaorong.

In fact, Huarong and Yuemiao's identities had been swapped three years ago.

The current Huarong is actually the younger sister Yuemiao three years ago; and the current Yuemiao is the older sister Huarong three years ago.

It is true that the person who made the engagement with Kang Xiaorong was Huarong, but three years ago, Kang Xiaorong's real fiancée became Yuemao. Yuemao inherited Huarong's name and lived in this world as Huarong.

Why did the two sisters suddenly switch identities? This story started three years ago.

At the beginning, because of Princess Tianning's plea, An reluctantly agreed to keep the two beautiful women alive, but secretly executed them. This execution was not caning or tattooing, but poison.

The night before the Xi family was executed, the Queen Mother secretly met with the two sisters, Hua Rong and Yue Miao. The elder sister Hua Rong was the first to meet the Queen Mother. Under the pressure of the situation, she had no choice but to drink the poison Cai Hua Xiang.

She was then sent back to the dungeon, and it was her younger sister Yuemao's turn to meet the Queen Mother.

Knowing that she would be forced to drink poison if she went to see the Queen Mother, how could Hua Rong bear to let her sister fall into the tiger's den again?

After returning to the dungeon, Hua Rong said nothing to Yue Mao, but went to see the Queen Mother again as Yue Mao.

At that time, the light in the dungeon was very dim, and the jailer only saw Huarong enter the cell, and then he could not see anything clearly. When someone came out of the cell again, the jailer subconsciously thought that person was his sister, but he didn't know that this person was actually his sister who had just been sent back.

That night, Huarong went to see the Queen Mother twice and drank two bowls of poison, while Yuemao was kept in the dungeon and had no idea what happened to the Queen Mother. It was not until Huarong was sent back for the second time that she told her the truth.

Upon learning that her sister was willing to sacrifice her life to protect her, Yuemao was so sad that she burst into tears.

Huarong comforted her, "I have already drunk a bowl of poison. I am already dead. What difference does it make if I drink one bowl or two? Yuemao, you must live well. I can't bear to see you die."

Seeing that things were a foregone conclusion, it was useless for Yuemao to regret. She asked her sister Huarong sadly if she had any wishes that had not been fulfilled. If so, she would do her best to help her realize her wish, even at the cost of her life.

Huarong thought about it and said that she didn't have any wishes, but she was afraid that her fiancé Kang Xiaorong would be sad after she died. So she hoped that Yuemao could stay with Kang Xiaorong instead of her. If she died one day, she hoped that Yuemao could accompany Kang Xiaorong as Huarong. Even if they were not lovers, even if they were not his wives, it was enough for her to stay by his side alive.

Yuemao agreed.

So from then on, Huarong became Yuemiao, and Yuemiao became Huarong, and the identities of the two sisters were exchanged.

The person who agreed in front of An to go to the execution ground to behead her father was the real Huarong, but the one who actually stood on the execution ground to carry out the execution was the fake Huarong, that is, Yuemao, after the identity was exchanged.

After the torture, both Huarongyuemao fell into a long period of mental depression.

This period of repression just concealed the changes in their personalities.

In fact, before the execution, the two sisters had very similar personalities. But since then, Fake Huarong's personality has become stronger, while Fake Yuemao has gradually become weaker. This is partly because of the poison in Fake Yuemao's body, which makes her body weaker and weaker. The weakness of the body makes her spirit weaker, and she has to rely on the antidote she gets from Concubine An regularly to barely stay alive.

An thought he had controlled both the beautiful girls, but in fact, only one of them was poisoned.

After that, Yuemao, who survived under the name Huarong, secretly vowed to protect her sister from ever getting hurt again.

She once told Die'er that there was someone in the palace whom she would protect at any cost and by any means - this person was her sister Huarong, now Yuemao, who was willing to sacrifice her life for her.

For this reason, she had to obey An and be controlled by him, and she self-deprecatingly called herself An's dog that he had raised for three years.
