The enchanting smile on Ji Tian Ning's face became even more impudent. He leaned on the table and gave Huo Ni Lin a coquettish look.

"Your majesty, why don't you just wait for that old fellow? Tonight, let my beloved concubine serve Your Majesty."

Huo Ni Lin was shocked. "You heard it?"

Wu De used his internal energy to send a sound transmission to him, but no one could hear it. This was a strange internal energy, only transmitting the sound to those who wanted to pass it on. Using his internal energy to force the sound into a line and send it into his ears, even if there was someone beside him, he would not have to worry about being heard.

"Such a loud voice, I am not deaf, how can I not hear it. If you don't want me to hear it, you can just crawl in and whisper it in your ear, or just use the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Technique. "

The reverse fire scale looked at Ji Tian Ning again. How many secrets did this woman still have? Did she not know of the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Technique from before, or did she really have a spell that she could hear?

"My beloved concubine, do not be complacent for a moment. You are my woman, and I can eat you at any time." You will pay the price today, I can assure you. "

Ji Tian Ning mischievously stuck out her tongue, looking like she had angered the White Horse Emperor again, "You, who has an expression on your face, is much more handsome than your cold appearance. When you smile, you are very handsome. Since you have already entered the palace, I have no business with you. Goodbye. "

"My beloved concubine, don't you want to see what the Shoulder King looks like?"

Ji Tian Ning's footsteps stopped. She truly wanted to know what that infamous King Shoulder, who had made even Huo Ni Lin tremble in fear, looked like.

On the bright red brocade, golden silk threads were used to embroider a soaring phoenix. Inside, there was a red gauze robe that depicted nine golden phoenixes on the verge of flying. Her hair was tied into a bun, accentuated by the phoenix hairpin, and decorated with broken beads and tassels. The arm was wrapped in a soft golden muslin. The workmanship was exquisite and priceless. The cuffs were carefully embroidered peonies, vivid and lifelike.

On her beautiful face, there was a hint of makeup. Her beauty could topple empires. Gong Huanfeng stood at the window, gazing outwards. How long had it been since he last saw his father?

The Forbidden Palace was as deep as the sea. Even with the palace's overflowing influence, she could not casually meet her own father. She slowly shook the fiery red robe on her body. The phoenix robe was her everything.

The harem's grade was strict. It was like a bright red, red, and bright yellow. Only the royal family could wear it. This color could only be worn on the emperor, empress dowager, and empress. The other consorts could only wear scarlet, pink, and yellow colors.

Even the imperial concubines had rules that forbade them from wearing red, red, bright yellow or apricot colors. These were colors unique to the imperial family.

Dress is not to be overstepped, or it will be a great sin. Even the jewelry worn is the same. One Shoulder Palace's Nine Heavens had been summoned to the palace. Upon hearing that Huo Ni Lin was gravely ill, he received the imperial edict and entered the palace. He already knew many of the things that had happened today, and in the imperial harem, there were also his eyes and ears.

He flew up into the sky and was sent out of the palace. The prince was almost murdered, and the Fiery-Scaled Tiger was sick in the palace. He knew all about this.

Now, the Fiery Infinity Fiery Gilt Steel had invited him to the palace, saying that they had matters of state to discuss with him. At this moment, many of the court officials also knew that the emperor was gravely ill. At the same time, the fact that Shang Qiuyuan had received the imperial edict and was preparing to send troops had alarmed the imperial court.

After entering the Nine Heavens Palace, he was lured to the palace of the Empress, where the Illusory Phoenix stayed for the time being. Originally, when he entered the palace, even if it was the reverse scale of fire, he would have to personally stand outside the palace to welcome her as a show of grace and honor. However, right now, Huo Ni Lin was very ill, so he had sent the Queen to greet him instead of him. He wasn't lacking in manners either.

"This humble official greets the empress."

Gong Jiu bowed slightly, but he did not kneel down to pay his respects. It was his privilege to not pay his respects in the imperial court. Even if it was the reverse fire scale, they would still have to respectfully call him father and smile at him.

Gong Huan Feng bowed in return, "Greetings to royal father. Has royal father always been well?"

"This humble subject is alright, is everything alright with the empress?"

A smile appeared on her beautiful face, or perhaps only this smile was real. He walked up to his father and carefully looked at him. He said, "Father, there is no need to worry. We are the only ones here. Father, please take a seat."

Gong Jiu was also sizing up his daughter. His daughter's appearance and intelligence had always been his pride. Even though she knew, her daughter was not well liked in the harem, and sometimes even had a bad time. However, this was the price for him to pay as a queen, as well as the price that the Gong Family had to pay.

There was a trace of loneliness in his eyes. Even if he had overflowing authority, so what if he had the power to topple a nation? He did not have a son, nor did he have anyone behind him to inherit his family's foundation, nor did he have anyone to take over his family's cigarettes.

"Sigh, in the end, Feng'er is still a woman, and is unable to continue my Gong Family's bloodline. Could it be that my Gong Family's bloodline and cigarettes, in this generation, are of no value to me?"

Gong Jiu stopped putting on an act and sat next to Gong Huanfeng: "Feng'er, is the emperor really sick?"

"Sigh …"

Gong Huan Feng sighed and said: "Early this morning, flying up to the sky suddenly caused symptoms of poisoning. Flying Ascending was originally the birth mother of a prince, and he was usually favored by the emperor. This matter would definitely make the emperor unhappy. Unexpectedly, at noon came the news of a maid planning to murder a prince in the palace. After this matter, the Emperor became ill, and became rather serious. "

"Your father has also heard of these things. The matter of Soaring Sky and the prince …"

Gong Huan Feng shook her head, "Ever since she became pregnant, my daughter has never been in contact with her, so it is good for her to avoid suspicion. And after she gave birth to the prince, there were people standing guard by her side day and night. She died this morning, and I only knew about it when I heard the rumors. Although the matter regarding the prince has nothing to do with me, I'm afraid other people would not think this way. "

Gong Jiu was silent for a moment: "Have you ever seen His Majesty? How is he now? Why did you invite me to the palace? "

Her charming eyes started to moisten as her voice became choked with sobs. She looked at her father sadly. The misgivings and infighting between the king and officials had never ceased. She was a sacrifice. If it wasn't for his father's sole authority and self-respect, why would the Emperor treat her like that? He wanted to take revenge on her for hating the Gong family.

"Father, right now, His Majesty is in a very serious condition. His mind is in a trance, and he is lying on the bed, exhausted. My daughter has just met the emperor in the Rain Pavilion, and the emperor has sent his daughter to greet my father in his place. "

"Is he really very sick?"

Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, he was extremely familiar with the fire reverse scale, if that competitive monarch was not seriously ill, he would have already personally started counting the troops.

"Yes, does royal father have any doubts? The emperor's illness had always been getting heavier and heavier. This matter, especially the fact that the prince had almost been murdered, had worsened the emperor's illness. "Just now, my daughter was in the side hall and saw that the Emperor was unconscious. Her face was full of sickness and she had lost a lot of weight."

"Feng'er, your father is truly worried. You have already been in the palace for more than seven years, and you still have not given birth to an heir. Behind father, there is no son. Could it be that the honor of my Gong Family will end here? "

Gong Huan Feng had already been in the palace for many years, and had also received many favors. Up until now, he had not been able to ask for anything, but he had also asked for a famous doctor, but it was all to no avail. He sighed. Could it be that he had killed too many people and caused the True Gods to become angry? As a result, not only did he not have any children, even his daughter could not have children?

"Royal father, today the emperor's words are true. Let me take care of the prince that was born in the skies. If I don't have a son in the future, then I'll make him a crown prince. "In that case, the position of Empress Daughter will be impregnable."

"He's willing to give you the only prince to raise?"

The eyes of Gong Jiu flickered. This move was also out of his expectations. Just like Gong Huanfeng, he thought that the Flaming Meteor Scale would definitely protect the only prince in every way, especially after what happened today, and would be on guard against his Gong Family. But unexpectedly, he suddenly handed over the position of prince to the nurturing of the palace's Illusory Phoenix. This action was an announcement to the world that no one could replace the position of the queen of the palace's Illusory Phoenix.

"Father, the Emperor has never forgotten the achievements of the Gong Family. Today, he announced that the prince will arrive at the Zhaoyang Palace tomorrow. In this way, Royal Father need not worry. Other than that, the Emperor had also said today that Royal Father had no children, which was worrisome. No one in the palace had any inheritance, and no one would show filial piety under their Royal Father. "The Emperor means that Royal Father can choose a young genius to be his heir."

Gong Jiu's pupils slightly constricted. Having no heirs was the greatest pain in his heart, and only his only daughter would dare to speak in such a manner.

"What does he mean? Why did I suddenly remember that I had to choose a descendant to inherit the palace's foundation? What I don't know is that he's been avoiding the thought for years, wanting to withdraw his troops and weaken the Gong Family's power. He's only afraid of me, so he didn't dare to make a move. But now, why is he thinking this way? Could it be a trap for him? "

As he thought of this, he didn't say it aloud. He slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. If he did not have a son, and no one else in the Palace family inherited the position of Shoulder Emperor, wouldn't the Fire Reversal Scale be able to recover all the rights?

"The emperor is really thinking for his subjects."

There was a hint of ridicule in his tone. He focused on thinking about the meaning behind his words.

"Father, your daughter is worried that the time for the Emperor is running out. The meaning of the emperor's words today was that they had to rely on themselves. The imperial physicians had also said that the emperor's illness was beyond their control and they were helpless against it. Only that witch from the imperial harem had the means to temporarily control it. Even today, it was that sinful concubine who diagnosed and treated the Emperor, allowing the Emperor to escape danger. "

No matter what, the Fiery-Scaled Beast was her husband. It was a man that she had dreamt of for many years. Right now, he had just revealed a gentle smile to her, but it was possible that he would quickly leave her and not be able to fulfill her childhood dream.

"Oh, is the emperor's illness really too severe?"

Gong Jiu could not help but be moved. He knew that the reverse scale of fire had developed, and in recent years, his illness had become increasingly serious. Today, however, it had gotten especially serious. Unexpectedly, things had already gotten to this point.

"Who diagnosed the illness of the Emperor? "Could it be that it's just the words of that 'Eggy'?"

"No, this is the Imperial Physician Order and Le Tian's diagnosis. Moreover, Royal Father should also know that the emperor's illness is getting more and more serious, and it's getting harder and harder to control." Especially during this past year, every time the emperor became ill, his mind would become muddled and he would do something fierce. After that, he would fall into a coma and would need at least half a day to wake up. Even if it is a drug that the hospital painstakingly obtained, it would still be very difficult to control the disease. "

"This is something I have heard of my father, and why, even so, he gave the order to send forth his troops. "Although the internal strife in Fengyuan right now is the best opportunity, he really doesn't have to worry about giving Shang Qiuyuan such a great authority as a vassal."
