Gong Huanfeng's eyelids drooped down slightly, her long eyelashes trembled a few times, her beautiful eyebrows slightly knitted, and her beautiful face was filled with sorrow.

"Sigh …"

He let out a long sigh, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with deep sadness, "Sister Fei Tian has always been frail and weak, and now that she has given birth to a prince in the midst of life and death, she is like a candle in the wind. Her death was to be expected, but she pitied the child and lost her mother before she was even held by her mother. As the lord of the Sixth Palace, I will definitely take good care of my son on behalf of little sister Feitian. "

The corners of her lips curled up into a faint mocking smile. If she were to hand the child in her hands to this beautiful empress, would her life be as short as his mother's?

"Soaring Sky's condition had already stabilized. She can get out of bed in the next few days. She didn't expect the moon to be so bright and round, and that people would be blessed if she could suddenly leave. She definitely won't be willing to give up."

Her clear eyes were like spring water on a snowy mountain. That harmless and weak girl, did she ever get in her way? She was already extremely delicate to the point that she couldn't even take care of her own life. How could she possibly harm people's thoughts and spirits?

Weak as a morning dew on a petal, life had only one dawn. Even this short dawn would not let her pass it peacefully. A bowl of poison had taken away that delicate life, leaving behind an unconscious child. Would he be able to survive in this dark harem?

There was a touch of mockery in her words. She wanted to tell the beautiful empress that her death wasn't an accident. The injustice of Soaring Sky's death, the unwillingness to die.

Her beautiful eyes flashed, looking at this special girl in front of her. Her beautiful face was just like the bright moon in the sky, not losing its brightness and luster just because of a trace of gloom. The clouds that covered the moon would finally leave, and that Haoyue was still the same as the Haoyue, never changing.

Her pitch-black eyes were filled with an indescribable clarity. Such eyes were something that had never been seen before in the imperial harem.

"Why is the emperor indulging her so much, pampering her so much, but why hasn't he pampered her at all?"

There were many questions on Gong Huanfeng's mind. This barbarian woman who had been kidnapped into the imperial palace had caused a ruckus in the harem the day after she had entered the palace. Behind these waves was the maid who had been doted upon by His Majesty.

From a lowly clothed maid, to be titled as a noble concubine, suddenly rising by more than ten levels, it had to be said to be the only anomaly in the Southern Champion Palace. From the day after this barbarian woman entered the palace, countless gazes were fixed on her. Not a single one of her movements could escape her notice.

His Majesty had doted upon him and offended him many times, but he had never been punished. This was enough to shock everyone in the imperial harem.

At that time, it was not difficult for him to fly up to the sky, but the name of the saint made the imperial harem raise its eyebrows. Now that he had single-handedly saved the first prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom, he was greatly favored by the empress dowager. He had been doted upon and indulged by His Majesty, causing everyone to have no choice but to re-evaluate this barbarian woman.

"What does little sister mean by this?" Could it be that little sister Feitian has something wrong with her? "

Surprise appeared in his eyes. From what Ji Tianning said, it was clear that he had died for another reason and that this was not a normal death.

She knew that Ascending had passed away. She had received a report in the early hours of the morning, and she was slightly surprised at that time. However, the most important thing was to feel gratified, even though she didn't think that Soaring Through the Sky had the ability to push her down from the position of Empress.

Ji Tian Ning slightly lowered her eyelids. She was calculating in her heart whether she should reveal the truth behind Ascending Sky's death or not. Is there any point in doing so? If this was done by the Queen, then it was unnecessary. If it wasn't, then who else could it be?

The corner of his mouth curved into an enigmatic smile. Some things are better left unanswered than left unanswered. The aftertaste was long and it always tasted better than plain. The words he said just now were just right. Whether or not Soaring Sky's death had anything to do with the empress, they made her feel uneasy. That was enough.

She was just a little skylark trapped in a golden silk cage. The sky was where she should be. There was nothing she could do to save her life.

One had already passed away, vanishing from this world. This was perhaps the best fate for him. That delicate, clear, and pure girl like morning dew should not be here in the first place.

"When the moon is bright and round, when it comes to misfortunes, it can be said to be an ancient and difficult thing to accomplish!"

Ji Tian Ning said something profound while giving Gong Huanfeng a meaningful glance. This was for the most shrewd and scheming of them all. It was more tormenting to let them think about it for themselves than to explain it clearly. This would cause this queen to spend her days guessing and feeling uneasy.

He got up from the chair and swept his gaze across the luxurious palace. No matter how gorgeous it was, it was still a place to bury the best of youth and humanity.

Beneath the exquisite and beautiful face was a hidden scheming and cruelty. Beneath the tiles were countless sins and tears. Behind the flourishing face was only desolation!

"Esteemed Empress, I'll take my leave."

He did not say much, and did not wait for Gong Huanfeng to say anything. He elegantly turned around, leaving behind all of his splendor and wealth, leaving behind the same beautiful and lonely woman.

Looking out from the door, only the blue sky far above her could ease her heart.

"Esteemed Empress …"

Ruoyu frowned slightly as she watched that noble concubine walk out the door without any rules. She was a bit irritated. No matter how much she was doted upon by His Majesty, there had never been a concubine who dared to be so rude here.

Gong Huan Feng shook her head slightly, indicating that Ruyu did not need to say anything, her eyes revealed a look of contemplation. Ji Tian Ning's rudeness and his boldness had already spread far and wide in the palace. She had no need to blame herself for being as rude to that cruel monarch and for being so disrespectful.

Moreover, those words just now had thrown her into a state of confusion. She had known a long time ago that she was going to die. It was very difficult to hide anything that had happened in the palace from her.

Ji Tian Ning refused to show mercy, and his rude words and actions in front of the Emperor could not be hidden from her. It was because of this that she didn't care about Ji Tian Ning's disrespect in front of her. Moreover, she had heard that His Majesty had an edict for her to be exempted from punishment.

However, if Ji Tian Ning were to take out the edict, not only would she not hurt her, but she would also lose the face and magnanimity of the empress. Although he didn't know what was written in the imperial edict, it was still the first time that the emperor had bestowed an imperial concubine with immunity from sin.

"Why is he doing this? "If he doted on her, why did he never show her any kindness? If he did not do so, why did he use a paper to cause the harem to speculate? What was he trying to test?"

In the empty throne room, only he concealed his anger. His grave and stern face actually lost its icy temperature, revealing a trace of sadness and weakness that had never been present before.

In this moment where there was no one around him, he no longer had to wear a mask. He could use the coldness and ruthlessness to conceal himself. Even though he had never paid much attention to the girl who was as tender as morning dew, she was, after all, his first prince's mother.

His thick black brows tightly knitted together. A "Chuan" character appeared between his brows, and his hands tightly gripped the armrest of his chair.

His face was as dark as a thunderstorm, and his hands were making sounds of metal rubbing against metal. His anger could only be borne by himself when there was no one around, and he could only silently endure. Perhaps, it was only in front of her that he wouldn't need to wear a mask and could let his emotions show.

"That little cat, if she knew about this, what would she do?"

"Sigh …"

He let out a sigh, and his gaze looked outside the throne room. The white stone steps were covered in relief patterns under the sunlight, but no matter how resplendent the sunlight was, it could not shine into the depths of his heart.

"She must have bared her fangs and brandished her claws, revealing her sharp claws. However, how could she possibly understand how much helplessness and pain there is in my heart?" She was lucky to be able to express her thoughts and emotions without having to hide them. Perhaps, it is because I can often see that vivid face and that vivid and changeable expression on her dimple that I will tolerate her so much! "

On the surface of the fiery red robe, there were many meticulously embroidered, five-clawed golden dragons. Silver, silky threads were embroidered into cloud patterns.

The Southern Champion Kingdom was still red, and this sort of red could only be used by him and his Empress. Apart from the empress dowager who could use this color, the rest of the imperial family could only use light red, scarlet, and other colors.

He liked red, exuberant and bright red, like burning flames or the clouds in the horizon.

"How long can I live?"

His fingers gently rubbed his temples. The moment he knew that Soaring Sky had died, he had a splitting headache. His hand gripped a small porcelain bottle. This was the medicine concocted for him by the imperial physicians. Every time he sensed that he was about to fall sick, he might swallow a pill.

However, the imperial physician had repeatedly reminded him not to take this medicine too often, or to overdose himself. He knew that there must be something harmful in this pill, but he had to take it often.

"Recently, there have been no signs of an illness, and the effects of this medicine have become less and less."

The last time he had a sudden attack in front of Ji Tian Ning, he did not even have the time to take these drugs, or to resist them from taking them from the bottom of his heart. He had already discovered that he was dependent on these drugs, and as soon as he felt a slight discomfort in his head, he would take them out and take them. Even when he was mentally exhausted, he would unconsciously take it.

"How can I get rid of this medicine?" I can't be someone who relies on medicine. Does she have a way to cure me? Craniotomy? If you were to split apart my head, wouldn't that mean that you would hand over my life to her? "

In front of his eyes appeared that lively and lovely smile. His big eyes twinkled as clear as mountain spring water. He was sure that there was no malice in those eyes.

He had seen Ji Tian Ning save soldiers before, no matter if it was a famous general or the weakest soldier. He had never seen a different level of concentration on her face.
