A light flashed through the empress dowager's beautiful eyes. She had always treated Ji Tian Ning as a barbarian witch without any tricks or knowledge. Although she knew some medical skills or spells, she was still naive and pale, and spoke without restraint.

Ji Tian Ning's words just now had given her a whole new level of respect. She didn't know whether Ji Tian Ning was really stupid and naive, or whether she had great intelligence.

Her pure and innocent eyes looked at the empress dowager. She could refuse to do anything, but she couldn't pretend, especially in this place. If she didn't know how to pretend, then she wouldn't be able to continue staying here. Originally, she had maintained her true colors and was unwilling to pretend. However, after seeing the harem people, each and every one of them were capable of pretending.

"Pretending is not a sin. Since all of you can pretend so much, then I can't fall behind either." "Let's talk about the empress. On the surface, she looks so intimate with me, calling me 'sister' and calling me 'sister'. But when she looks at me from behind, she really wants to cook me up and eat me."

Every time she recalled the look that Gong Huanfeng had seen from behind her, Ji Tian Ning would shudder in fear. How could her beautiful eyes reveal such a malicious glint?

"I feel like I'm being watched by a poisonous snake. I wonder how many poisonous snakes are secretly spying on me in this harem." "You have to be careful, or else you might get bitten by a hidden poisonous snake."

It was not difficult to put on the purest, most innocent face. He could just treat himself as Little White.

The empress dowager looked at Ji Tian Ning for a long time, but was finally unable to discern anything from his expression and eyes.

"Or maybe I am just being paranoid. She is just a barbarian witch. If it weren't for her skills, I wouldn't have let her act so brazenly in the harem. "No matter what she does, as long as she can cure Lin'er's illness, the rest will be worth nothing."

The empress dowager's eyes flickered as she frowned and asked with concern, "It looks like the emperor has gotten a lot better?"

"Yeah, I can eat, sleep soundly, and I feel much better."

Ji Tian Ning silently cursed in her heart. What was wrong with the White Horse Emperor? He could eat and sleep, but he was still raised on the Dragon Couch like a pig. Although the disease was not completely cured, it had not reached the point of being bedridden. She didn't know whether or not the empress dowager knew that the Fiery-Scaled Tiger was faking its illness, but since she had come to an agreement with it, she naturally wouldn't reveal this secret.

"Hmph, just go to sleep after eating. You must have had plenty of energy. You and the empress must have gone in circles who knows how many times already. A creature like the emperor is indeed a scary pervert! "

"In your opinion, how is the emperor's condition?"

"It's all under control now. The emperor can handle the matters of the court and the imperial concubines. Although it's not completely healed yet, there won't be any major problems in the near future."

Of course, Ji Tian Ning did not want to perform surgery on that patient. It wasn't because she was stingy, but rather because she had no confidence that she would be able to perform surgery on that patient. As someone from a medical family, she couldn't do such a thing. If he didn't perform the surgery, the man could still drag it out and live for a year or even a few years.

However, if one performed a major craniotomy here, that person might not even be able to get off the operating table.

The empress dowager naturally didn't understand this logic. She only thought that Ji Tian Ning was a barbarian witch, so she must have some extraordinary methods. She was anxious to have Ji Tian Ning undergo surgery so that she could see if she could be cured. The reverse scale of fire was her only child and also the emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom. If her illness were to be delayed and she was afraid that she would be unable to cure it in the future, her lifelong hope would collapse with a loud bang.

Every time she thought of Gong Jiu's dark smile, she would shudder and wake up from her nightmares.

"Ning'er, although His Majesty's condition has improved, he hasn't been able to cure it yet. The country must not be left without a ruler for a single day. Now that the Southern Champion and Fengyuan were at war, His Majesty could not afford to lose. After preparing for a few days, you should be ready to operate on that patient. "

Seeing that Ji Tian Ning was silent, the Empress Dowager could only use her identity to suppress her and instruct her to operate on the patient.

Ji Tian Ning calmly replied, "Yes, mother has instructed me that as long as the medical instruments I need are brought over, I can undergo surgery."

Inwardly, he was laughing mischievously. Those medical instruments were not something that could be prepared in a short period of time. Moreover, she purposely increased the difficulty and drew up diagrams of some medical instruments, letting the Grand Hospital produce them.

"Let's not talk about anything else. It's just a Shadowless Lamp. Let's see how you do it!"

"Most of those instruments have been made. This Dowager has instructed that they should be brought to the palace as soon as possible. "Within three days, the equipment can be delivered. You should prepare it. Five days from now will be an auspicious day, so we'll set five days from now to use the technique."

Ji Tian Ning could only feel a bitter taste in her mouth. How could this be? In her mind, it would be impossible for the instruments to be made within a few months. How could they be so fast and finish the equipment already?

"Muhou, after these instruments are delivered, I need to check if they are up to standard. In addition, I also need to teach Ke Wuji and the others how to use them and how to adjust them. "Five days is too short of a time. If there is anything wrong with the apparatus, the operation will likely fail. My life is in danger, and as a doctor, I am responsible for the patient …"

"No one is more important than your majesty. You only need to be responsible for your majesty. Since that's the case, this one will give you a few more days. At that time, This Dowager will head to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for His Majesty and for the Southern Champion. "

Ji Tian Ning still wanted to say something, but the empress dowager had already stood up. "You can go back and prepare, don't disappoint This Dowager. After this operation, This Dowager will grant you the title of one of the Six Palaces."

When these words came out, even the empress dowager's De Xin revealed a surprised expression. One of the six palaces was second only to the empress, from a first rank position.

Initially, Ji Tian Ning was a barbarian girl without any background or family background. She would never be able to achieve such heights in her entire life. However, the empress dowager's words had now confirmed her thoughts.

Ji Tian Ning looked at the empress dowager's back speechlessly. He knew that it was useless to say anything more. The empress dowager was a creature that couldn't be refuted for her decision. If he angered this terrifying existence, it would be hard for him to survive.

"Actually, being an ordinary palace maid is pretty good!"

Ji Tian Ning really wanted nothing more than to place a label on his forehead and write 'little palace maid' on it. Only this little palace maid would not attract anyone's attention. If she was a small palace maid, she could possibly be disregarded by everyone, and she could possibly have the chance to leave the palace, escaping halfway.

However, she currently had too many tags on her. She carried a young woman, an evil woman, a witch, and many other things. It was impossible for her to keep a low profile.

"I thought if I kept a low profile, no one would notice my existence, but I was wrong. An outstanding beauty like me, just like the summer sun, the lighthouse in the dark night, the luminous pearl in the rubble, so bright, so outstanding. It's always so hard for people to not notice me! "

Ji Tian Ning knew that saying anything to the empress dowager right now would be unnecessary, and would only bring her trouble.

"Your Majesty intends to ask the empress dowager to urge the empress to treat that remaining patient. Empress should be extremely careful." This subject risked his life to inform the Empress of this matter.

The words of Le Tian resounded in his ears as he curled his lips. This palace was truly not a place for people to live in. Even if he said something wrong, he could still die. It was not as if there were none in the harem who had been severely punished to death because of a slip of the tongue. At this moment, she felt that being able to live in such an inhumane place until now was truly incredible.

"The Baima Emperor has a conscience after all. He gave me an edict that exempted me from crimes, right? If it wasn't for the edict, I might have been plotted against countless times."

Back then, she had thrown the imperial edict aside like it was a rag. Now that she recalled it again, what the Fiery-Scaled Beast said was right. If she had been any other concubine or concubine, she would've died more than ten times over for the things she'd done.

"Why does he have to tolerate me so much? Could it be that it's just because of my medical skills, and you hope that I can cure his illness? "

Ji Tian Ning hurriedly shook his head. "It doesn't matter who you feel for. It's just that you can't have feelings for a creature like the Emperor. Otherwise, your good life would be over. Ji Tian Ning, ah, Ji Tian Ning, you mustn't think too highly of yourself. The reverse fire scale is just a piece of ten-thousand-year ice; the further you are from it, the safer you will be. If you want to soar into the sky, then follow the example of your predecessors! "

Putting the ridiculous idea to the back of his mind, he grabbed the tack and asked in a low voice, "Good little brother, how are you preparing for the escape?"

Ji Tian Ning only brought him to the Spring Festival Glow Palace, so he didn't need to worry that their words would be heard by others. Hearing Ji Tian Ning's question, the person in charge had a worried look on his face. Right now, running away was a rather difficult task.

"Empress, in the past few days, for some reason, the Imperial Palace has become much more heavily guarded, especially the Hearing Rain Pavilion, which is several times more guarded than in the past. "Empress, look …"

Only then did Ji Tian Ning notice that although she had only brought the tack with her and did not have anyone else accompanying her, there were people looking in her direction from a distance.

"Who are those people?"

"Your servant has noticed that in the past few days, there have always been people following the Empress by her side. No matter where the Empress goes, this is always the case." Even outside the Empress's palace, there are people guarding it day and night. Not to mention escaping, even if you want to escape, you will still be questioned. "

"How come I didn't see it?"

"They were only guarding from afar and did not alarm the Empress. If it wasn't for this servant who accidentally discovered them, I wouldn't have noticed it either."

When Ji Tian Ning stood up, she understood that it was definitely because of the reverse scale of fire. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes. However, I'm afraid it's impossible for me to escape from this palace. If you are so prepared, you must be worried that something might happen. As a result, if you want to escape, it will be even more difficult. "

She suddenly remembered that since someone was secretly monitoring her, it was very likely that someone had discovered her meeting with Le Tian in the forest. He couldn't help but feel anxious. If someone discovered Le Tian secretly revealing his secret, Le Tian would probably be in danger.

"Pu Zi, go and invite Ke Wuji and Le Tian over. I want to ask them about the condition of their patients."

She quickly walked back. She had to make sure that everything was fine before she could relax.

Only when Ke Wuji and Le Tian arrived in front of her did she heave a sigh of relief. She asked a few questions about the patient, and made some arrangements. No matter where I go, there will always be people protecting me from the distance. "

The corner of her mouth curled up in ridicule as she meaningfully glanced at Le Tian. She was reminding Le Tian to pay more attention to her since she was under surveillance.

Le Tian immediately understood what Ji Tian Ning meant. He looked at Ji Tian Ning emotionally as he thought to himself, "She treated me like this. Could it be that she also has me in her heart?"

"This is because His Majesty is concerned about the Empress and is afraid that someone from the harem will make things difficult for her. He is also worried that the Empress doesn't like having too many people by her side, so he secretly arranged things."

Her delicate mouth curled up. Afraid that she would escape was the truth. She couldn't help but frown. The ninth day had arrived in the blink of an eye. How could she drag it over?
