A surprised expression appeared on Gong Huan Feng's face as she asked with a frown, "The head is the head of the six suns, how can it be cut open? Moreover, if this is the case, will the emperor's strange illness recover?"

Ji Tian Ning calmly replied, "I can't guarantee either. I can't be sure of what's going on inside the emperor's head right now either, so I need to open it before I can find out. However, if this is not the case, the illness will become more serious every day and there will be a day when it becomes uncontrollable. At that time, even if the operation is performed, it will be difficult to cure it. "

Gong Huan Feng bowed towards the empress dowager and said, "Imperial Mother, what should we do with our current plans?"

The empress dowager's expression did not change as she said coldly, "If it weren't for Soaring Sky, if the prince had not been murdered, my son wouldn't have ended up like this. As the master of the Six Palaces, for the harem to be so restless is a dereliction of duty on your part. Failure to take good care of the emperor is also your dereliction of duty as a wife and empress. "

Gong Huanfeng kneeled on the ground, her heart was filled with bitterness. Even if she wanted to see the reverse scale of fire, it was still a difficult task, how could she care for a servant?

"Chenqie is aware of her crimes, but this is merely a matter of favor. Chenqie has no choice but to avoid suspicion. I also did not expect that Shuhui would suddenly leave." Your son has just found out about the matter of the prince.

"Humph, it is likely that we will not be able to find out. The person who murdered the prince …"

The empress dowager suddenly shut her mouth and turned to look at Ji Tian Ning, only to see a pair of clear and calm eyes. All of these accidents seemed to have failed to move the girl's heart. She looked out of the window as if she hadn't heard any of their words.

Ke Wuji and Le Tian's hearts trembled. At this moment, they finally understood the reason behind the disease. So it turned out that there was actually someone in the imperial harem who intended to murder the prince. This earth-shattering matter caused them to involuntarily tremble. To them, inadvertently hearing about the secret of the harem was a misfortune.

"Today's words shall come to an end here. You all need to be careful with your words and actions, don't lose control of your own words and actions."

The empress dowager looked at Ke Wuji and Le Tian coldly. Ke Wuji and Le Tian hurriedly bowed and said, "This humble subject has not heard anything. I know nothing and would never dare to speak nonsense."

The empress dowager nodded and looked at Ji Tian Ning. She said gently, "Ning'er, you shouldn't care about the matters of the harem. Just wait upon the emperor."

A faint smile blossomed on her lips. Originally, she had no intention of participating in the affairs of the harem, much less becoming involved in it. In the muddy water of this harem, even if it didn't flow, it would flow.

She already knew too much, these dirty things, but they were not what she wanted to know. Flying death, the murder of the prince, and the helplessness of the fire reverse scale. She was just a bystander, and this was just a temporary place for her to stay. As a result, she was not tempted and could not be swayed or confused by these things.

"Imperial Mother, those matters originally had nothing to do with me. I am in this stormy pavilion, let the wind and rain outside shake, I am me. It's just that the Emperor's current condition is not too optimistic, and is unable to handle the affairs of the country.

The empress dowager frowned slightly. She had just heard that the Fiery-Scaled Tiger had sent out orders for Shang Qiuyuan to lead troops to Fengyuan, and thus the news of the Fiery-Scaled Tiger's illness spread.

No one doubted that the reverse scale would suddenly attack. The reason for this was because the reverse scale attack had already occurred once in the palace. It was also expected that he would suffer a new illness. After all, the murder of the prince had caused the scales to be unable to suppress their anger. They had received too great of a shock.

It had only been half a day since their deaths, but such a thing had already happened. Even the empress dowager felt physically and mentally exhausted.

After all, the prince had been murdered in the palace. Although there was nothing going on, she still felt her soul tremble. This was her only grandson, and she couldn't afford to lose him.

Right now, her only son was unconscious, lying on his bed. Many matters regarding the country and the military expedition to Fengyuan were waiting to be dealt with by the reverse scale of fire.

"Ning'er, when will the emperor wake up?"

"He is worried that his anger is too great and his emotions are greatly stimulated. If he wakes up at this moment, it will be useless to his illness."

The empress dowager knitted her brows. Although Ji Tianning's words were reasonable, she couldn't tolerate his words right now. There were too many things that needed to be dealt with by him, and no one could do them for him.

"There are so many matters of the country that he has to deal with. I know that he should rest and meditate. But now, he is about to send his troops to the plain, as well as the affairs of the country. What should I do?"

At this moment, Ke Wuji and Le Tian had already left, and the empress dowager was no longer hesitant to speak. She did not know how much Ji Tian Ning knew about the harem. However, from what she said earlier, the prince was murdered, Ji Tian Ning was not surprised. She already knew about this matter.

"It looks like my son really doted on her. He didn't even try to conceal anything like this from her. I don't have to worry about her doing harm to my son either. If she wants to do harm to my son, I have the most chance. Since she is willing to use techniques to save my son, and she was the one who saved my grandson, who does not have any background in the imperial court, it would be the most appropriate for him to stay by my son's side. "

As the empress dowager thought of this, she said gently, "Ning'er, your medical skills are superb, so the emperor wants you to attend to him as much as possible. This Dowager knew that he should rest well. In the evening, this Dowager came to visit again, hoping that the Emperor would wake up. "Feng'er, you and Ning'er will serve the Emperor together."

After the empress dowager finished speaking, she stood up and grabbed Ji Tianning's hand. "My son, I'll leave it to you. If you need anything, tell the imperial physicians to prepare it."

Ji Tian Ning gave a faint smile and nodded her head, "Imperial Mother can rest assured. The emperor will definitely wake up in the evening, but right now, the emperor is not to be provoked. He is also not to be agitated, much less overthinking."

The empress dowager patted Ji Tian Ning's hand. "With me here, I can rest assured. I'll just have to trouble you."

Ji Tian Ning and the empress dowager sent the empress dowager off before looking at each other in dismay. Ji Tian Ning didn't want to stay here and make eye contact with the palace's Illusory Phoenix.

"Esteemed Empress, stay here and accompany the emperor. I'll go back and think carefully about how to treat the emperor."

Finished speaking, without waiting for Gong Huanfeng to say anything, she immediately walked out.

"Flying up into the sky was not my doing, and the prince was not ordered by me to commit murder."

A low voice entered Ji Tian Ning's ears. At this moment, the two of them were standing outside of the side palace hall. They had just seen off the empress dowager, so there was no one nearby. Gong Huan Feng's voice was also extremely soft, as though she was only mumbling to herself.

Ji Tian Ning's footsteps paused as she turned her head with a hint of pity on her face. With a smile that was not a smile, she whispered, "All of this has nothing to do with me. "There is no such thing as fortune or misfortune, only people can summon themselves."

She turned and left quickly. She didn't know if the death of Soaring Sky had anything to do with the empress. She didn't know if the empress was behind the murder of the prince, but the empress wouldn't have needed to explain anything to her. She was just a concubine, one of countless concubines in the harem.

"How credible is what she said? Perhaps, she is also the innocent person who was pushed to the heart of the struggle? "

She shook her head slightly. She couldn't see through the waves and deceit in the harem, and she didn't want to investigate it too deeply. It would only limit her to the point where she had no way to extricate herself from it. It wasn't that she was cold-blooded and emotionless. This wasn't a world that originally belonged to her. The best method was to just watch from the sidelines.

"Can I leave this place? Or, he will take me to battle, do I have a chance? "

There was no trace of blood on his handsome face, only a sickly, sallow yellow. Her usually cold face now had a tinge of weakness and pain in it. Her eyes were tightly shut as she lay motionless on the dragon bed.

Her sword-like eyebrows were slightly knitted, and there seemed to be an indescribable feeling of helplessness and pain. Her thin mouth was tightly pressed together, and there were a few silver needles on her arms and hands. The cuffs were rolled up high, revealing the firm muscles.

Her slender, jade-like hands gently slid across the reverse scale's arm, feeling the powerful muscles and smooth skin. How long had it been since she'd touched this skin? How long had it been since she'd seen it before? Even if it was just a monthly favor, he always had a variety of reasons to push it away.

"Even if I plough more, it will still be impossible for me to breed a small blade of grass in a field of death. Since that's the case, why don't you and I take care of ourselves?"

These harsh words rang in his ears. This was the reason why he had turned the Zhao Yi Palace into a cold palace. How long had it been since he'd set foot in Zhaoyang Palace? And how long had it been since she had met the Emperor, or her husband?

As the Empress, the master of the Six Palaces, how much could she have no choice? She was young and beautiful and craving his kindness. However, even with the occasional glimpse, his gaze never stopped on her peerlessly beautiful face.

Her beauty was extremely famous in the five nations, and she was known as one of the five great beauties of the five nations.

"He has let down the spring flowers and the autumn moon, all in the wind. Even though there are tens of thousands of styles, who can he tell?"

A lonely expression was revealed on her beautiful face. She lowered her head and placed her lovely dimple on the skin of Huo Ni's arm, gently rubbing it. This rhythmic movement and stimulation caused Gong Huanfeng's face to turn completely red.

She ran her fingers over the face that made her dream. From the first time she saw him, there was only him in her heart, no one else. He had already known that she would become his bride, and he had been looking forward to this moment every night. She thought that she would definitely have three thousand favors, and he would only stop for her.

The first night, his first night, the night she became his bride, there was only pain. She had never resented it, because she knew that the bitterness in his heart was about to be felt by her.

He plundered as much as he could, without a shred of mercy.

The sound of cloth being torn echoed in the new room. The red wedding gowns all over his body turned into tattered strips of cloth under his hands, and they dropped to the ground like his cold and merciless smile.

There was no warmth in that smile. There was only the feeling of being looked down upon and humiliated.

She was afraid, she was shy, she was curled up. There was no trace of gentleness or charm in the red silk curtain. Without any trace of pity, he slowly grabbed her and heavily pressed her down.

She also knew that sooner or later, she would become his woman. She had been looking forward to it for a long time.
