Ah!

A low exclamation came from the room. The two guards outside were stunned. There were four more guards inside the room, so there was no reason why they couldn't subdue Le Tianming.

The two guards looked at each other, kicked open the door and saw that there was no one inside. They could not help but be startled and hurriedly jumped in.

A wisp of fragrance entered his nostrils and he could not help but feel dizzy. He immediately understood that he had been duped and wanted to leave the room. When she turned around, she found that Le Tian was standing in front of the door and had already closed it.

"You …"

Le Tian did not move as the two guards laid on the ground. After a while, he went up to cover the mouth of the guards, tied them up and threw them to the side.

Le Tian walked out of his room. He beckoned for two servants. These two servants were originally husband and wife. Since their hometown had been saved by him, they had always been by his side.

As the guards entered the master's room, they did not come out. Although they were anxious, they did not speak. "Pack your valuables and get into the carriage. I'm going to take a trip, come with me."

After Le Tian finished giving orders, he returned to his room, took out his things, and placed them on the carriage. He had horses and carriages in his courtyard. They were used frequently when he was out visiting the palace. Because he had been in the palace for too long, the servants had to send him in. It had been a long time since he had returned, so he could only return to the mansion to wait.

After getting on the carriage, Le Tian turned around to look at his own residence and bitterly smiled, "Can we finally leave? I can't believe I left like this. What will happen to her? "

"Gulp …"

The wheels of the carriage rolled towards the city gate, and Le Tien knew that they might never return here again.

There was nothing to worry about. The only one who couldn't let go of her was her.

"Hopefully, I still have a chance to see you again. Don't let anything happen to you, I'll be waiting for you!"

"Master, where are we going?"

"It's been a long time since you two have returned home. Now, go back and take a look, or else your house will still be here."

The horse carriage quickly drove out of the city. Only after they were out of the city did Le Tian let out a sigh of relief. He stopped the carriage as he saw the sky gradually darken.

"You guys go home. From now on, I want to live a good life in my hometown. I'm going to roam the world." "Take these silver taels, we will part ways here. Don't stay any longer, hurry home at night."

Le Tian threw down a bag of silver taels and placed his belongings on another horse. This horse was originally brought over for him to treat a wealthy merchant's illness. The wealthy merchant had brought it back to him from the north.

"Milord, milord …"

Le Tian waved his hand. "Don't ask too much. Go home quickly."

He patted his horse and left, flying off into the distance. He was no longer a weak scholar, and his footprints had travelled through many famous mountains and rivers.

"Where is the lord going?"

The woman asked her husband, her face full of worry. She served Le Tian for a while, their lives were saved by Le Tian because of the disaster at their hometown.

"Don't ask anymore. Milord has already decided to abandon the official, but it was only today that I thought it through. Didn't you see that the palace guards were escorting the lord back today? Your excellency has been in the palace for more than a month and has not been released.

"Then what should we do?"

"Rest assured, the lord has already left the Ancestral Dragon City. We should also leave and return home as soon as possible."

The horse carriage continued on its journey, and its speed increased.

Le Tian recalled the place that Ji Tian Ning told him and galloped back to the place that Ji Tian Ning told him. He turned around once again and looked in the direction of the Ancestral Dragon City.

Dragon City was already shrouded in darkness. Standing in the distance, one could vaguely see the city. Le Tian sighed. Once he entered the palace, he would be as deep as the sea. Would he still have a chance to meet her?

"Could she be safe?"

The moon passed high in the sky and hung on the willow branches. Tonight's moon was exceptionally bright. Ji Tian Ning was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. As for the matters concerning the harem, he would let him go. First, he would rest for a bit. Only then would he be able to recover his strength.

In front of the bed stood a black figure, silently watching the sleeping Ji Tian Ning.

"Little cat, you really can sleep. I really envy you. Even under such circumstances, you can sleep so soundly." When Wude said that you were sleeping soundly, I still found it hard to believe. Now that I have seen it, I know that you are sleeping well indeed. Little cat, look at tonight's moon. It's exceptionally bright, but it's destined to be a sleepless night! "

The Flaming Scales slowly sat down, looking at the sleeping Ji Tian Ning with a myriad of emotions.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with those people?"

Wu De stood in front of the dragon bed, the eastern sky already revealing a sliver of light, but Huo Ni Lin was still wide awake, half lying on the dragon bed, silently looking out the window at the moon.

"His Majesty went to the empress's quarters and came back so quietly. What was he thinking about?"

He was shocked. It was a capital offense to guess his master's thoughts. He lowered his head and stopped pursuing the matter.

"Ke Wuji entered the coffin and was sent out of the palace to be buried. He has been stripped of his official position. Where is Le Tian?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Le Tian ran away. Le Tian used knockout drugs to stun the guards he sent, tied them up and threw them under C." "I've already ordered people to go after him, but there's no return."

Huo Ni Lin waved his hand. "There's no need to chase after him. I don't think we'll be able to, so just let him go."

Her sharp eyebrows slightly raised as she said in her heart: "Little cat, since you let him go then let him go. But why did you let him go?"

"Understood."

"Nothing yet?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, De Xin came to seek an audience with His Majesty, saying that the empress dowager had invited His Majesty to the palace."

"Has it finally come? "Is there no movement from the Zhaoyang Palace at all?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, he only sent someone to inquire about the matter."

Huo Ni Lin stood up, "Tell them that I'm not feeling well and that I won't be seeing anyone."

He lay down. Why couldn't he sleep when she could sleep? Thinking about how he had not slept for the entire night, he could not help but feel his heart burn, and his head began to ache.

"Understood!"

He knew that even if the Emperor were to lie down, he would definitely not be able to sleep.

Today was the day when the Empress Dowager went to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for her blessings, but when it was time to leave, she still did not leave.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, His Majesty said he was feeling unwell and that he didn't see anyone."

De Xin returned to report and lowered her head to carefully observe the empress dowager's expression. The people who had been sent to scout for information the previous night had all been detained by the emperor. It was unknown whether they were still alive or not. Although she didn't know how the operation would turn out, she knew from all the signs that it would be a failure.

If that wasn't the case, His Majesty wouldn't have detained those who had been spying on them so that the news wouldn't spread.

The empress dowager didn't speak for a long time. Last night, she had similarly not slept at all. After receiving the news that someone had been apprehended, she could no longer sleep. At this time, she was supposed to start off and head to the grandmist palace to pray for her blessings, but because of this matter, she had been delayed.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, the empress wishes to seek an audience."

"Is she finally here?"

A deep smile appeared on her charming face. It seemed that she was still a bit tender and was finally unable to keep her composure.

"Dexin, send someone to the Hongmeng Palace to tell the empress that This Dowager is heading to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for the Emperor's blessings. Tell her to come back another day."

"Understood."

At this point, the empress dowager finally decided to go to the Hongmeng Palace and pray for her fortune. She thought to herself, "Whatever you want, go and stir things up. I'll only watch from there."

Gong Huanfeng stood outside of the palace. When he received this reward, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. At this time, it was obvious that he didn't want to see her and still went to the grandmist palace to pray for his blessings. She also knew that although the empress dowager was nominally her aunt, the truth was that she and her father weren't on good terms. There was also a blood feud between them.

Only, she feared the power of the Nine Heavens, not to mention the empress dowager's position. It was the empress dowager's power that had enabled her to hold her current position. Thus, in terms of face, he had to maintain this level of relationship.

The person who had been sent to investigate last night had not returned. Even Gong Huanfeng was not clear as to what had happened. However, it wasn't as if she hadn't made any arrangements. She had long since sent people to wait at the far end of the operation room, paying attention to the movements inside.

The person was apprehended, but the news still travelled back. It seemed that the operation had failed, the patient had died, and Ke Wuji had disappeared.

"Le Tian went out of the palace and did not return. Did he escape? Was Ke Wuji now dead or alive? Where was it? Since he was able to detain everyone, the operation must have failed. I didn't expect you to spoil her so much. "

The thick hatred caused that beautiful face of hers to twist. She could not allow Huo Ni Lin to spoil a girl this much. This was because this woman wasn't her. Gently rubbing her skin, where the bruises reminded her of what she was being treated.

She placed her hand on her abdomen and smiled. She already had her own flesh and blood, what was there for her to be afraid of? If not for that, she wouldn't have arranged it that way.

"Ji Tian Ning, you shouldn't be here. Since you want to leave, let me help you." Regardless of whether you want to leave or not, this place will not tolerate you! "

Just as the empress dowager left the palace, she was stopped by Gong Huan Feng. The empress dowager's expression was impassive as she looked at Gong Huan Feng. "If anything happens, wait for This Dowager's return. Don't delay the auspicious hour."

"Reporting to the empress dowager, chenqie has important matters to report to the empress dowager. I really can't wait."

"Speak, what is it?"

The empress dowager didn't plan to stay, so she replied rather impatiently. How could she not know that Gong Huanfeng wanted to stir up waves in the rear palace, but didn't want to become her backing?

Gong Huan Feng looked around, "Reporting to mother, chenqie wishes to ask for mother's blessings on behalf of the dragon in your son's womb. The imperial physician has diagnosed me as having a prince in my womb. "

The empress dowager was startled. She looked at Gong Huanfeng in bewilderment. She was actually pregnant, was she pregnant with a prince?

Ji Tian Ning treating the empress wasn't a secret. There had been rumors circulating in the palace for a long time, so the empress dowager naturally knew as well. Only, she didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Gong Huanfeng would be pregnant.

Seeing the empress dowager's surprise, she felt extremely pleased with herself. With a smile on her beautiful face, she said, "Imperial Mother is about to have an imperial grandson. This son congratulates Imperial Mother."

In an instant, his expression calmed down, and a smile also appeared on his face: "Feng'er being pregnant is truly the greatest joyous occasion of my Southern Champion. Presumably, once the emperor knows about it, he will also be abnormally happy. I wonder if you have ever reported to the Emperor that the Emperor was informed of this happy occasion? "

"Mother, your son has been in a hurry to report to you, so he has not yet done so. Now, my mother wishes to go to the Hongmeng Palace and pray for the future of the Grand Xia, so this son wishes to ask my mother to pray for the future of our Emperor. "

"Of course, This Dowager will definitely pray for the royal grandson."

"Muhou, your son still has a favor to report."

The empress dowager's gaze swept across her surroundings before she waved her hand and scolded them to the left and right. Right now, her heart was in a mess as she thought of everything. She just didn't expect that Gong Huanfeng would become pregnant.

Gong Huan Feng approached the empress dowager and whispered some words to her. Everyone was too far away to know what the empress and empress dowager had said. However, everyone was greatly astonished that the empress dowager was pregnant with the matter of the prince.

The empress dowager left right after her. If even the empress dowager left, who could stop her?

"There are demon mountains near the sea. In the barbarian region, magic flourishes. Under the heavens, water was the most suspicious. Ji Hong was in the north, and fire from the south. "Once evil beings are born, the nation shall perish, flames shall burn, and the witch shall turn to ashes; the nation shall prosper!"

For a time, rumors of children's songs spread throughout the Ancestral Dragon City and to the imperial harem. The operation that was originally very secretive had now become an open secret.

Everyone in the imperial harem knew that Ji Tian Ning's operation had failed, resulting in the patient's death. However, they did not know the mystery behind the operation, nor did they know that the failure was due to Ke Wuji secretly poisoning the patient.

"She is a demon, a barbarian witch. If you save someone, then that person will die." After the death of Lan Gui, she had saved the prince and Lady Shuhui. Now, because of the fact that the patient was not dead, it was impossible to treat him. "Just watch and see. Only if someone dies because of her will she be able to cast a spell and save her life …"

"I have heard that the concubines are witches from the mountains of demons in the sea, where witchcraft is prevalent. She cut open the abdomen and opened the head. "She has the ability to determine life and death, but this ability requires ten lives in exchange for one …"

All sorts of rumours were circulating in the palace and Dragon City. A storm was brewing, and the rumors became more and more bizarre. "Huo Ni Lin has already given the order that no one is allowed to enter or leave the Wind and Rain Pavilion." These rumors were also not allowed to enter or leave Ji Tian Ning's ears.
