When she saw the empress dowager waiting outside, she said, "Imperial Father, the empress dowager is over there. It must be that His Majesty is summoning her to meet him, so the empress dowager will wait here."

In the distance, beneath a tree of crabapple blossoms, there was a golden phoenix robe. The hem of her skirt and the golden threads on her sleeves were rolling, while a large peony flower was embroidered on her sleeve. The vermilion robe was draped over her shoulders. On the surface of her dress, there was embroidered a flying golden phoenix, exuding an oppressing wealth.

Her lively eyes exuded a bright and charming luster, her cherry lips were moist, and her two ears were wearing Night Pearl earrings, which shone with a gentle luster under the moonlight. Her silky black hair was tied high on top of her head, and a white jade hairpin reflected the dark blue of the clouds.

At an angle, a peony hairpin hung with a thin strand of golden tassels. In her pure white hand, there was a piece of silk, as if there was an infinite amount of worry in her heart.

On the golden gauze clothing, there were bits and pieces of pearls, slowly wandering under the crabapple blossoms while stepping on the lotus flowers. Under the cold moonlight, the empress dowager was beautiful beyond compare. She was like a fairy who had wandered into the world of mortals. It was dazzling and mesmerizing, causing people to admire and admire her.

Under the moonlight, the beautiful woman looked exactly the same as the empress dowager's age. She was like a beautiful young lady standing under a crabapple, causing the fiery red crabapple to lose its color and lose its luster. It was as if the Empress had not seen the nine days of the palace come out, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky, and was thinking about something.

The Emperor stopped and looked at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager and he were half-breeds and his sister. Many years ago, when the father of the Fiery Inverted Scale saw him, he was shocked to the core and thus entered the room. At that time, he already had several wives and a first wife.

"To the Empress Dowager."

The empress dowager was startled. She was deep in thought, but she didn't expect that when the empress dowager came out, she would be disturbed from her thoughts.

Turning back to look at the nine heavens of the palace, the two of them actually looked somewhat similar. They looked at each other, and for a moment, neither of them said anything.

After a long while, the empress dowager spoke up faintly. "I'll have to trouble Brother Wang to enter the palace so late into the night. Brother Wang looks just like he did before, congratulations."

Gong Jiu revealed a slight smile, but that smile looked somewhat sinister. On his handsome face, there was a hint of profoundness. Looking at her sister, she was still as beautiful as ever. It was as if time had never stopped on her. Had she still remembered the past?

"The Empress Dowager is the same as before. The past years are as clear as yesterday. "I haven't seen Her Majesty for a long time. Has Her Majesty always been well?"

"Of course I'm alright, thank you Brother Wang for your concern."

A hint of darkness flashed across her beautiful face. She had come to visit the Fire Lin beast, but after learning that the Fire Lin beast had summoned the King, she wandered around the garden to enjoy the night scenery. Staring at the moonlight in the sky, he couldn't help but stand there dumbstruck, yet he didn't see the Nine Heavens Palace come out.

"Feng`er, go back and attend to the emperor. The emperor cannot have no one by his side to attend to him."

Gong Jiu didn't look back. He spoke to Gong Huanfeng, who bowed to the empress dowager before retreating. She knew that although her father and the empress dowager were half-brothers, their relationship was very delicate.

"It is already deep into the night. I will have to trouble Brother Wang to enter the palace. For the matter of sending troops, I will have to trouble Brother Wang."

His tone carried the politeness of estrangement, completely devoid of the warmth of siblings, just like a stranger.

"I have always missed you very much. Ever since you entered the palace, it has been very rare to see you again. Now that we meet again, you have not changed. You are still as beautiful as ever."

A mocking smile appeared on his face as he stared at the face that resembled his own, "Brother Wang, have you agreed to personally lead the troops?"

"Do you want me to agree or not?"

"Right now, the Emperor is very ill. Only Brother Labor can lead the troops and go to Fengyuan personally. Only then can we make the Emperor feel at ease."

"How can I reassure you? When I lead troops to war, will you secretly worry about me and worry about me? "

Her beautiful face was raised haughtily as she stared coldly at the nine heavens of the palace. "Brother Wang is responsible for the nation's share and is loyal to the sovereign. This is your official's duty, so why do you say such words?"

Gong Jiu smiled, laughing arrogantly. At this moment, all the malice in his eyes disappeared as he looked at the empress dowager. "Little sister, could it be that you've forgotten all about the feelings we had for each other in the past? You must know, I have always remembered the feelings that we siblings had for many years. It's just that it's very difficult for me to see you again, so I have to worry about you alone. "

After taking two steps forward, she was only a few steps away from the empress dowager. There was no one around, so the guards and servants had long since retreated. How could the Empress Dowager and the noble King, shoulder to shoulder, dare to approach?

"Could it be that you've never thought of me in your heart, nor of the feelings of love that have existed between us for many years?"

Anger rose in her beautiful eyes, and her face trembled slightly. Moments later, the empress dowager calmed down. Even if it was nine days before she had committed a great sin, she had no other choice but to accept it silently, just like before.

He had thought that he would no longer need to endure after becoming the bride of the Emperor. Even though he knew that she and his son would still live in the shadow of this elder brother, living side by side in the palace for nine days after the death of the Emperor. Even now, so what? Her son, as the Southern Champion Sovereign, still had to retreat to the Nine Heavens Palace, repeatedly retreating.

Even though she was the empress dowager and had a heart full of rage, she couldn't. She didn't dare to release it on the palace.

A strong sense of ridicule surged up into the exquisite charm of the Empress Dowager's face. The past years had never forgotten that it had always been her nightmare. She had thought that the nightmare had already passed, but contrary to her expectations, the nightmare had followed behind her and never left her side.

"Brother Wang has been well these days, and I have always been worried. Every time I think about Brother Wang's old ailments, I feel anxious and unable to eat or sleep well. Today, I see you, brother Wang, are still as elegant as ever, which makes me feel quite at ease. However, since she entered the palace seven years ago, she had yet to give birth to a child, causing her to be extremely worried. Right now, the Palace Clan only has Feng'er's bloodline. Brother Wang has no children, and this makes This Dowager extremely worried. "

His gaze swept across the face of the Nine Heavens Palace, causing his arrogance to rise. How long more could he continue to be so arrogant?

"Empress Dowager, I have never forgotten your wonderful times. Those beautiful years were just like yesterday, vivid and vivid. Why should Her Majesty be so worried, for the sake of your foolish brother or for the sake of your son? Actually, I've always wanted to ask, whose flesh and blood does the Emperor actually possess. "

The smile on the face of the empress dowager rippled. Her words were mocking him for not having a son until now, and for not being able to give birth to a concubine either. That was the end of the bloodline of the palace.

No matter how shrewd the empress dowager was, she could not suppress her anger after hearing the words of the empress dowager. She glared angrily at the empress dowager, clenching her teeth and gripping her handkerchief tightly in her hand to suppress the rage in her heart. She couldn't, especially at this moment, offend him.

Feng Yuan still needed to rely on him personally leading the troops to battle, so it was impossible for the Southern Champion to not have him. At the very least, she and her son still didn't have the ability to move to this mountain, so they had to bear with it again and again.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean? The Emperor is naturally the late emperor's flesh and blood. Could it be that Brother Wang has gone senile?"

"Brother only has some doubts. I have always wanted to hear the answer from you. It seems that my many years of hard work is only to make someone else's wedding clothes. "Haha, luckily, he is the late emperor's flesh and blood. I had thought that he would have my bloodline in him, but since he doesn't have it, it has nothing to do with me whether he lives or dies."

She gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. She could only hear such outrageous words and not let anyone else know. This sort of humiliation was nothing to begin with. The humiliation from the past surpassed the humiliation by ten times. Only, in the past, she was the daughter of a concubine of the palace family, and he was the eldest son.

Today, she was the most respected woman in the Southern Champion Kingdom, and she could no longer tolerate such humiliation. The nightmare from back then was once again brought up from his mouth. In her heart, there was only endless hatred and humiliation.

"Majesty, do not forget who made you sit firmly in this position. It's just that your repayment from the past has made your foolish brother yearn for you, and he only wants to have a chat with you one day. Now that you are alone in the palace, are you not thinking about the feelings between you and me from the past? "

Letting out a long breath, he suppressed the anger and humiliation within his heart. Her anger and humiliation would only make him feel proud.

"Nine days in the palace. Don't forget your duty as an official. It's already deep into the night and you should leave the palace."

"Majesty, my beautiful sister, one day you will come back to me. Don't think that your son has grown up, that his time is running out, and that the person you can rely on the most is still me and only me. I can support your son, and I can also support your grandson, but that will depend on how you do it. "

The empress dowager was startled. Was her son running out of time?

Gong Jiu drew closer to the empress dowager and took a deep breath of the empress dowager's fragrance, revealing an intoxicated expression. His gaze swept across the empress dowager's graceful body and stealthily heated up. This delicate body was something that he was familiar with, something that he should not be familiar with. He thought about it day and night, and only wanted to love this delicate body again.

It was only wishful thinking between brother and sister, at the cost of her pain and humiliation.

However, he was happy to see the pain and anger on her beautiful face, as well as the humiliation he felt. That would only make him more excited.

"Brother Wang, if you have the energy, then do it for the Gong Family and leave a trace of your bloodline for yourself. But, are there any differences between the current you and someone from the imperial harem? "

Vicious words came out of her beautiful, tender mouth. She had wanted to say these words for a very long time already, but she had endured them all the while and never had the chance to do so.

The thick maliciousness returned to his face. His expression was terrifyingly dark. The thing that he dreaded the most was someone mentioning this matter. To be injured on the battlefield and be unable to give birth again was an eternal pain in his heart. No one dared to bring up this matter in front of him. Although there were already people who suspected that not only was he unable to have children, he was also unable to do anything about the relationship between a man and a woman, so no one dared to bring it up.

The entire imperial court feared him, rather than the cold-blooded monarch himself. The power of the nine heavens of the palace had always been above the reverse scale of fire.

His evilness, his ruthlessness, were all known by the five nations.

The only bloodlines in the entire Gong Family were him, the empress dowager, and Gong Huanfeng.
