She had never placed this edict in her heart. As for Huo Ni Lin, he had also promised that he wouldn't punish her for her small mistake, nor force her to serve him. Thus, she put it away.

Today, after careful study of each word, he realized that the edict was filled with profound mysteries.

What is a little mistake?" What was a big deal? It's still not up to you, Baima Emperor. Therefore, this piece of rag means that you can do whatever you want to me. "Wuu, wuu, didn't you say that with a guarantee, I would become the personal lass of a certain kind of emperor?

Ji Tian Ning wanted to cry, but had no tears. Was such a good youth, such a beautiful first time in her life, going to be spent in the tragic years of a close girl?

"Like a hundred women fighting over a man, Yeye was like a silly melon in a golden silk cage, waiting for the moody Emperor to return. Oh my god, you can just throw me to death. "Why don't you let me hit the ground before you after you've transmigrated? That way, you can make someone's lecherous heart die, so that they won't be staring at me all day like they are now."

Thinking of staying in this gorgeous golden silk cage in the palace and fighting with over a hundred women for a man, Ji Tian Ning was sorrowful.

"The difficulty is too high, if it were only a few of you, we would still have a chance to snatch it." Besides, none of those people were easy to mess with. He had only been in the palace for two days, and yet, he had already met his treacherous and sinister concubine Lan. He had nearly lost his life. But now, those people from the harem are eyeing me covetously, I didn't offend them right? "

Ji Tian Ning also knew that the concubines in the imperial harem were jealous and envious of her.

"Women have never been loved by others before. Being liked by the White Horse Emperor is a crime." If I could choose, I would rather choose to live in a cold palace, at least not in a stormy pavilion, where I will be subjected to the torments of the wind and rain. "

The palace became even larger in the middle of the night. A giant cage trapped Ji Tian inside. She had never been so eager to fly out of the Forbidden Palace and gain her freedom.

"Innocent and inexperienced, Zhong Linglong is outstanding, knows the way to read and reason, and is bestowed with the title of imperial concubine in the harem, serving me …"

Ji Tian Ning's hands trembled as he held the edict. He finally understood the meaning behind the reverse scale of fire. Indeed, she had not studied the edict in detail. The meaning behind her words was that she was the woman of the Fiery Inverted Scale. Bearing the graciousness was the greatest favor the Fiery Inverted Scale had given her. The teasing in the hot spring was nothing. She was his woman, and just as he had said, she had to accept his favor at any time.

"Don't …"

Ji Tian Ning suddenly stood up. It wasn't that she hated the reverse scale; after all, that handsome emperor was someone who liked looking at others with personality. However, she wasn't in the habit of snatching a man from hundreds of women.

"Hmph, looks like I have to escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, I might be eaten by the perverted Emperor one day."

Wandering around the room, her beautiful eyebrows knitted together. How could she escape?

"You, you, come in."

Hearing Ji Tian Ning's call, Gao Zi hurriedly walked in from outside. "Your servant pays his respects to the Empress."

"I've told you many times, no one needs to call me by that name. Last time you said you had a way to help me escape, what's the plan?"

He hurried to the door and looked around. It was already late at night, and most of the servants had already rested. Since Ji Tian Ning did not rest, he waited on her outside the door.

"Empress, things are not so good. The palace is currently heavily guarded, much more tightly guarded than they were in the past. Since the exalted Empress had returned to heaven and someone had plotted to assassinate the prince, the palace had gained a few more imperial guards who were extremely well guarded. As a result, inspections of the imperial palace were extremely tight as well. Now is not the best time. One must know that this matter can only be successful and not defeated. "

"How much longer do we have to wait?"

Ji Tian Ning was slightly anxious. How could she not know that with the palace's tight security, it was not a good time to escape. If he failed, he would die. She didn't know if that White Horse Emperor was able to forgive her for her sin of running away. Even if he did not execute her, it would be even worse than death.

"The day that the empress dowager wishes at Hongmeng Palace won't be long. The palace guards shouldn't be so strict in a few days. Perhaps we'll have a chance."

"Empress, why … why are you using the imperial edict as a rag?"

With wide-open eyes and a pure gaze filled with shock, he watched Ji Tian Ning use the edict to wipe the table. That was an imperial edict. Among the imperial concubines, only this Empress would have a special edict from the Emperor. It was precisely because of this that the imperial concubines did not dare to easily offend Ji Tian Ning and could only silently feel jealous of him.

"It's merely a piece of trash cloth. Making a towel is like lifting this piece of trash cloth. What's the use of having it or not?"

"Empress, you can't say this. If it wasn't for His Majesty's imperial edict, how could Empress live peacefully in the Rain Pavilion?" "It has to be known that esteemed wangfei has violated the palace rules many times. If it wasn't for His Majesty's edict, she would've been punished a long time ago."

"Oh, have I violated the rules of the palace?"

She had a pair of beautiful eyes that were as clear as mountain spring water. Looking at the tares, she became very obedient. She neither teased the handsome bodyguards nor provoked the imperial concubine. How could she have violated the rules of the harem?

The only person who could remain calm and ask her what she had done wrong was this person. She had broken the imperial harem rules many times, and had committed heinous crimes, but she was still able to do so.

"Women of the harem are all women of His Majesty. If we were to go against His Majesty's orders, that would be a capital offense." Empress, think about it. How many times have you gone against His Majesty's will and turned against him? If they don't accept His Majesty's benevolence, then they'll be guilty of exterminating the nine great clans. "

"It can't be?"

Ji Tian Ning held her head in her hands as she thought, "There's no way for me to live this long. Could it be that if the White Horse Emperor were to forcefully attack her, I would have to kneel on the ground to express my gratitude?"

"Seeing the empress dowager and empress not bowing, and meeting His Majesty in court, his attire …"

As he finished speaking, his gaze swept across Ji Tian Ning's body. It was a good thing that the Empress did not wear revealing clothes, nor did she wear unusual clothes. She was dressed in simple palace attire, giving her the grace of a beauty dressed in ancient attire.

"Am I naked? No, it's summer now. It's so hot and I have to wear so many clothes. The clothes in summer should be breezy and light, absorbing sweat. Could it be that those beauties, wearing so many clothes, are not hot? "

"Empress, this place is a forbidden palace. Even if it were the people, the Empress should not be dressed this openly. It must be known that when a woman appeared in front of others, it was …

The word 'hurt' should not be placed on his sister.

"No matter what, the women in the harem are too relaxed. If they don't criticize me behind my back, they will suffocate to death. Evil concubine, witch girl, I haven't thanked them for these praises. If only I was a witch, at least I wouldn't have to worry about how I could escape. This edict was simply useless. Look, in other words, I am the personal daughter of some perverted emperor, and he can do whatever he wants. "

He grabbed the imperial edict from Ji Tianning's hands and carefully folded it, "Empress, you must know that the Empress is only a concubine in the imperial harem. "The reason why those emperors didn't make things difficult for the Empress was because His Majesty had bestowed an edict of exemption on the Empress."

"Hey, hurry up and think of a way to help me escape. I'm going to suffocate to death."

"Your Majesty, the heavens are magnanimous. This old subject is grateful, but Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. Since Your Majesty has decreed that this old subject should choose his descendant and inherit this old subject's family business, this old subject dares not comply." "Right now, this old subject appreciates this person quite a bit. This old subject intends to make this person his heir. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of this?"

"This is his blessing. As long as Royal Father is willing, the person selected by Royal Father must be someone who has absolutely no reason to evade. I wonder who royal father has chosen? "

"Sigh, it's a pity this old official hasn't fought for so many years, I don't even have a single son behind me. "Right now, this old official has been blessed by the heavens to select a descendant. I'm just worried that this person might be unwilling, so what should we do?"

"Royal Father is the one who was chosen by the Southern Champion, side by side with King. This is this person's luck, how could he not agree. Royal Father does not have to worry about choosing people, no one will refuse. Even if this person is unwilling, I have also decreed that this person would become father's heir. "

The Fire Lin felt a faint unease in his heart. The Nine Heavens Palace was an old fox, just who would he choose? No one would refuse the civil and military officials of the imperial court, or the other officials of the Southern Champion Kingdom, as well as those who did not have official positions.

After all, if one became the heir to the royal palace, then they could ascend to the heavens in one step and become the most respected young prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom. In the future, they could inherit the throne of the royal family, get the wind, and get the rain and the rain.

Gong Jiu stood up and bowed to express his thanks. He was extremely pleased with himself as he thought to himself, "Your majesty, you will definitely not think of who I would choose as my successor. If there was one other person in the Southern Champion that would reject this king, it might be this person. This King would like to see how you command him to submit, and how you are willing to bow to This King and consider him your heir. "

"This old official thanks Your Majesty for his kindness. This old official will do his utmost to flatten Fengyuan and repay Your Majesty for his grace."

His eyes were dim and lifeless as he leaned powerlessly against the dragon bed. His expression was tinged with pain as the silver needle on his head shook uncontrollably.

"I wonder which family royal father is planning to choose?"

"There is only one person on the Southern Champion list who can enter the eyes of this old official. This person has an outstanding demeanor and possesses both civil and martial skills. He is a rare genius."

"Royal Father's standards are extremely high. I'm even more curious to know who this child is for him to receive such praise from Royal Father."

"This young man entered the army at the age of ten. At the age of thirteen, he once led troops to war. "As a great general who had fought many wars, he is now being supported by His Majesty. He has received orders from the imperial edict to flatten Fengyuan."

A sinister smile flashed in his deep eyes, revealing a trace of pride. He wanted to choose this person to see what the Fire Lin Clan had to say.

"Since you treat him as your trusted aide, I'll choose your trusted aide as your heir. I'll see how you treat him then."

The reverse fire scale slightly lowered its eyelids to hide the shock in its heart. Its face revealed an expression of exhaustion and pain as it tapped its finger on its head. It seemed to be enduring the pain. With this, he didn't expect that Gong Jiu would choose Shang Qiuyuan as his son.

"I had just expressed my favor to Shang Qiuyuan, bestowed him with a bath, and issued an edict ordering him to send troops to Fengyuan. So, you intended to take him in as your son. Unfortunately, your wishful thinking may not be as you wish. How could a proud person like him be willing to bow down to you as your son? Besides, right now, only this line of descent remains in the Shang Clan. How could he be willing to come to your residence to help you continue on with your cigarettes? "

"Father's eyesight is still as sharp as ever. Shang Qiuyuan is indeed a genius amongst humans."

The king and his subjects had their own matters to attend to, so the entire palace was extremely quiet. Huo Ni Lin's eyes were closed, and he looked exhausted. He kept rubbing his head with his fingers. The silver needle quivered a little at the touch of his finger, shining brightly in the light.

He weakly looked at the nine heavens of the palace with a gloomy gaze. "Shang Qiuyuan is naturally a good candidate, Royal Father can tell him of this. It is also the fortune of my Southern Champion that Royal Father has such an outstanding son by his side."

"Many thanks for Your Majesty's kindness. I'm only afraid that he won't be this old official's son and inherit this old subject's family property."

"This is his blessing and also royal father's wish. I can't force him. Father, please express your love for Shang Qiuyuan. Perhaps he is willing to inherit his father's family business and perform filial piety under his father. I will also advise him to kowtow to my royal father. "

"In that case, this old subject thanks Your Majesty for his kindness. It's already late, so Your Majesty should rest early." Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about sending troops. Tomorrow, this old official will order troops to flatten Fengyuan, just around the corner. "

"This is for the best. We will have to trouble Imperial Father with everything. I am extremely exhausted. Empress, send Imperial Father out of the palace."

Gong Jiu got up and walked out of his room. He slightly turned his head to look at Huo Ni Lin, only to see Huo Ni half lying on the dragon bed. His face was filled with fatigue, his expression was dark and weak.

"It is possible that he is truly reaching his end. In that case, it is the best opportunity for my Gong Family to grasp the Southern Champion. "But I won't, to let the power imbalance fall into the hands of others."
