"Until now, I have no son, Gong Huanfeng. Don't think that I don't know the things that you have done behind your back. If it wasn't for you, how would we even have a frail and sickly prince? Those concubines who had never given birth to a child and had miscarried in the middle of the journey, who could have done it? "Even though I have treated you badly, how can you, who cannot have children, dare to act so wildly in the harem?"

An indescribable rage welled up in his heart. He had treated Gong Huanfeng that way not only because he was oppressed by the Nine Heavens Palace, but also because the concubine in the harem had been diagnosed with being pregnant with a prince.

Those consorts might miscarry, or die from illness. In short, none of them could give birth to a prince.

"If it wasn't for the fact that Feitian's body is too weak and sickly, and you determined that she wouldn't have been able to safely give birth to the prince, I presume you would have already made your move, right?"

Huo Rulie narrowed his eyes. He hated Gong Jiu Jiu even more, and his hatred for Gong Huanfeng was even deeper. If he was already seriously ill and had no children left behind, then wouldn't this world have fallen into the hands of others and taken their place?

The hands under the dragon robe were tightly clenched together as his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc. If not for his apprehension towards the Ninth Heaven, how would he have allowed Gong Huan Feng so much?

No matter what Gong Huan Feng had done, even if he had to kill his own flesh and blood, he could only bear with it. As for secretly murdering a few concubines that he doted upon, he didn't take them too seriously. However, if those concubines became pregnant with princes, things would be different.

"You also need to endure what you have done. No matter what I do to you, it is already a great favor. It is as if your sin, even if it were brought to the stake, would not suffice to extirpate your sin. Gong Huan Feng, there will be a day when I want you and your daughter to pay the price for this, and experience the deepest pain in the world! "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the empress has already returned to Zhaoyang Palace."

Right now, he still couldn't touch her. Although he could torture her and torture her, no matter how much he tortured her, he couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart. This hatred had nothing to do with love, nor did it concern the feelings between men and women.

"Wu De, is she not ready yet?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still some tools that haven't been made yet. Empress is also making many preparations and doesn't dare to rashly use any techniques. She's afraid that it might lead to her death."

"It's about time for her to arrive. I've already improved a lot, but this illness makes it difficult for me to sleep and eat."

"It's His Majesty. This servant will go visit the Empress and inquire about this matter. I ask the Empress to give an early reply to the Emperor."

Huo Ni Lin shook his head. "I request the empress dowager to summon her."

Wude immediately understood, with a look of admiration in his eyes. This matter should not be urged by the emperor, and although he had a high status in the palace, he was only a servant, much less a servant. The most suitable person was the Empress Dowager.

Ji Tian Ning was still making preparations. The difficulty of performing a major craniotomy, especially a brain tumor operation, was too high. She wasn't sure, not at all. Even in her time and world, such an operation had a high chance of failure.

Glioma in particular, the most difficult operation in brain tumors, is also one of the most difficult tumors to treat.

"Ai, the difficulty is quite high!"

He sighed helplessly and walked out of his room alone. He didn't bring anyone with him as he strolled along the long corridor of the Wind and Rain Pavilion. This was her favorite place to linger. That pool of jade waves and the lotus flowers were always able to make her forget that she was in a golden silk cage.

The clear fragrance of the lotus flowers came from the cool breeze. There were very few lotus flowers on the lake's surface now. There were even more lotus petals that were densely packed with green, moistening both of his eyes.

A stone hit Ji Tian Ning's body. She turned her head and saw that the stone had flown out from a thick bush not too far away. Looking into the forest, he saw a secluded corner of the Wind and Rain Pavilion. There were fake mountains, flowers, plants, and trees, and very few traces of people. A corner of his clothes floated past the bushes.

Ji Tian Ning took two steps toward the bushes. A handsome and refined face appeared from the bushes. He waved at her and disappeared into the depths of the bushes.

"Le Tian, what is he doing here in secret? Do you want to date me in secret? "

She noticed that Le Tian was wearing a green robe, which was hard to find among the trees. He strolled into the bushes and headed towards the place where Le Tien had disappeared. No one paid any attention to her.

Le Tian revealed his face behind the bushes. At this moment, he was somewhat anxious.

"Le Tian, you're in the mood. Do you want to play hide-and-seek with me? "Haha …"

Ji Tian Ning laughed heartlessly. Le Tian could be considered as her personal disciple. At the very least, everyone in the hospital thought so.

"Empress …"

Le Tian put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence. He anxiously looked around to confirm that there was no one around before raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Le Tian, why are you so nervous?"

"Empress, that patient died of an illness."

"Oh, didn't you send him back?"

"His Majesty did not issue a decree, so that patient stayed in the palace. It was only His Majesty's decree that the Empress would not know, so no one dared to tell the Empress. "That patient died from an illness just now, His Majesty ordered me not to let esteemed wangfei know."

"Le Tian, you're finished. Your emperor ordered me not to know, but you dared to tell me in private. If your emperor knew, you'd definitely …"

She placed her delicate hand on her neck and made a beheading gesture as she laughed to the point where her flowers were trembling.

"Sigh …"

Le Tian sighed and looked at Ji Tian Ning helplessly. How come this esteemed woman didn't know that the current situation was so grim?

"Esteemed Empress can still laugh. Today, His Majesty found out that the person died from an illness, so he personally went to take a look." At the time, His Majesty's expression had been extremely unhappy, overcast with dark clouds. How could the Empress still laugh? This matter will not end here, and it will harm the Empress. "

"What does it have to do with me? I'm just a doctor, not a girl, not a witch. I've already said that the man is too ill to be cured. "If I had a way to revive someone from the dead, then I wouldn't have to be trapped here, even if I were a scoundrel or a witch."

Ye Zichen rolled his eyes. The patient was in the late stage of brain tumor, so it's normal for the patient to die. What does this have to do with her?

"Empress, this matter isn't so simple. His Majesty didn't let Empress know of this matter because he was afraid it would affect her ability to cast spells. Right now, His Majesty intended to ask the empress dowager to urge the Empress to treat the remaining patient. The Empress should be extremely careful. This subject risked his life to inform the Empress of this matter.

Ji Tian Ning was moved as she held Le Tian's hand, "Le Tian, you are really a good person. You risked your life to tell me all these things. Thank you very much." "Don't take such a risk in the future. If you are discovered, you will definitely be executed."

Le Tian's pale face suddenly turned red. His breathing quickened and his heartbeat quickened. She wanted to take her hand away from Ji Tian Ning's, but she couldn't bear to. Feeling the softness and warmth of her delicate hand, a strange aura drifted into Le Tian's nose.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath. His gaze landed on Ji Tian Ning's face, and was filled with deep emotions.

"With the Empress here, you must be extra careful. This subject has no way to protect the Empress, so I can only secretly inform the Empress." I believe that today's matter will quickly spread throughout the palace, and rumors that are extremely disadvantageous to the Empress will appear. "

"If you want to walk the path that you want to walk, then let other people spout nonsense. No matter what they say, I won't lose a single piece of meat."

Ji Tian Ning released Le Tian's hand, Le Tian Xiao reluctantly lowered her hand. "Empress, don't look down on these rumors. There are long rumours in the harem that the Empress is a barbarian witch, a harem queen, and a fox like sovereign. Now that the patient sent to the imperial harem has died, there will be many rumors and rumors unfavorable to the Empress. "

"Sigh, I originally did not wish to fall into this harem battle, nor did I wish to stay here. Why can't the people of the imperial harem let me live a few days in peace. Alright, I'm a fox spirit, specializing in luring emperors. Le Tian, I won't hide it from you. I really want to escape from here. If I stay here, it will be like flying in the sky sooner or later.

"Empress, don't speak nonsense."

"Am I speaking nonsense? Le Tian, there are only you and me here. Speak our words and enter our ears, and we will never spread them out. Even if the position of Queen were placed in front of me, I would only have four words, and I'm not interested! Le Tian, I think you should leave as soon as possible.

Le Tian silently looked at Ji Tian Ning. He had already decided to leave. It was only because he met Ji Tian Ning that he was able to stay behind.

"Empress, do you know that the reason I'm staying here is because I want to see you more often?" Right now, you are already in danger. Even though I am incapable and can't help you much, how can I leave?! "

With this thought in mind, he looked at Ji Tian Ning's enchanting face and couldn't help but fall into a daze for a moment.

Looking at Le Tian's expression, Ji Tian Ning couldn't help but smile. From Le Tian's eyes, she could see admiration. However, although she had a good impression of Le Tian, she didn't have any feelings of being a man and a woman.

"Le Tian, thank you. I'm leaving now. Don't let anyone discover you."

She knew that if she stayed too long, it would be easy for people to discover her. She didn't have anything to worry about.

He turned around and walked lightly out of the thicket. Le Tian foolishly stood behind the thicket, staring at Ji Tian Ning's back. In this lifetime, would he even have the chance to be alone with her? Could she really escape?

"Miss Ji, if you can really escape from here, you will be willing to follow me and protect all the famous mountains and rivers of the five nations. I only wish that I can stay by your side and be by your side for the rest of my life! "

Slightly sighing, this was impossible, and his expression darkened. Ji Tian Ning was a monarch, an imperial concubine of the Southern Champion Kingdom. He was a subject, but he was only a lowly imperial physician.

It was a blessing to be able to see her so often, even if it was like now. If this matter were to come to an end and he were to be released, it would be extremely difficult for him to meet her again.

"God above, if the God has a soul, then let her be safe."

He silently prayed for Ji Tian Ning. He had never thought that Ji Tian Ning would one day escape from this place. As soon as he entered the palace, he felt as deep as the sea. Besides the fact that she had never been favored by the emperor, when she reached old age, she would be let out of the palace.

"Esteemed Empress, the empress dowager has summoned the Empress to invite you to the palace."

Just as Ji Tian Ning returned to his residence, the tares were already waiting outside. They ran over from afar to report to Ji Tian Ning.

"Got it. I'll go after I change."

From Le Tian's report, she had already made the preparations to be summoned by the empress dowager. It looked like the White Horse Emperor was feigning sickness, and the one most anxious was still the empress dowager. Although he had asked twice, Ji Tian Ning had pushed him away.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to drag it out any longer. I'm sure she wants me to perform surgery on that patient as soon as possible so she can be at ease. However, I am not trying to shirk my responsibility. If I were to undergo this operation now, I would not have any confidence at all. I am just making a joke out of my own life! "

While he was changing his clothes, he was also thinking of an excuse. What could he do to delay the matter for a bit longer? The best thing would be if he could escape before and after the surgery. That would be for the best.

Only, she also understood that at this point, it would be very difficult to delay the situation any longer. It would also arouse the Empress Dowager's suspicions.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well rest. Stunning cannot kill me. Stopping here for even one day is enough." I wonder if the empress wants to go back on her word and not help me escape. It can't be, staying with me in the harem won't benefit her at all. "

He bitterly changed his clothes for half an hour, and his makeup was wasted for half an hour. Under the urging of the maids, the maidservants that were sent by the palace had no choice but to come out.

Even though it was a Hong Gate banquet, she had no choice but to go.

"Greetings, Imperial Mother."

Ji Tianning bowed slightly towards the empress dowager. The empress dowager didn't bother about her rudeness as she pointed at the seat next to her and said gently, "Come sit down. This Dowager hasn't seen you for the past few days, but what are you busy with? Don't say that you have to accompany This Dowager. "

"If muhou likes it, then let me stay here. It's also good for me to stay with muhou."

The empress dowager was very clear in her heart that she wanted her to say this out loud so that she could look after the scales of fire and treat the emperor's illness. Thus, she didn't have the time to meet with the empress dowager and accompany her. In this way, Her Majesty could use the opportunity to urge her to perform the operation as soon as possible.

She, Ji Tian Ning, was not a noob either. How could she be willing to fall for such a trap? With a single sentence, she easily avoided the topic of conversation.
