The Begonia pointed to a remote room. Outside, there was a eunuch standing guard at the door. When he saw Ji Tian Ning and the Begonia, he hastily went over to pay his respects.

Ji Tian Ning walked briskly to the door with a change in expression. The eunuch unlocked the door. Ji Tian Ning extended his hand, but hesitated and didn't open the door. That was because she could smell a faint scent of blood drifting out of the room.

His hand was actually shaking. Was it really true? Was it really that effective?

The Begonia was a little strange. She stretched out her hand and opened the door. The floor was covered in purple red. The sticky blood had turned purple and was slightly solidified. He was quietly tied to a pillar, but his head was rolling to the side. His pale face was full of unwillingness, and there was an indescribable fear on it.

With just a glance, the Begonia turned her head and retreated to the side, as if she wanted to vomit. Even though it was just a glance, she knew that she was hopeless.

Her head rolled to the side and her body separated from the river. She held onto the pillar and looked at Ji Tian Ning.

If even this could save him, then he would truly be a sinful witch. Hold your hands on your stomach and calm down as much as you can. Don't throw up. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a tragedy.

What surprised her was that there was no surprise or fear on Ji Tian Ning's face. He just stood at the doorway and stared at the tares that had been dead for a long time. His hands were still trembling slightly, but it was not because of fear, but unspeakable anger. He was just a harmless little eunuch. Why? You want to kill him?

Ah!

When the eunuch guarding the door saw this scene, he screamed out loudly and sat on the ground, prostrating himself and beginning to vomit.

Ji Tian Ning slowly walked into the room. She looked at the dead body and stretched out her hand to touch it. The body was no longer warm and the blood had somewhat solidified. This meant that it had been dead for quite some time.

Perhaps, it was precisely when she was having fun with the White Horse Emperor that the tares were silently beheaded and killed here. Turning his head to look, he saw that the head was still covered with a cloth. Both of his arms were still tied behind his back, tied to the pillar.

He walked over, untied the rope, and put down the tassels. Now, the tassels didn't need the silver notes she gave them, and they didn't need to escape.

He took the tadpole's head and placed it on his neck, restoring the corpse to its original state.

The Begonia held onto the pillar and curiously looked at Ji Tian Ning. Seeing this scene, she finally couldn't take it anymore and ran away. She squatted behind the bushes and vomited. She could not understand why Ji Tian Ning was so calm.

Ji Tian Ning did not get up for a long time. In this deep and serene palace, the only person she could rely on was this little eunuch who she wanted to come over. If she hadn't asked for the tassels, would they have died today?

"It's all my fault. I thought that by bringing you to my side, I could make you live a better life. Yet he didn't know that he had actually harmed your life. "If you were not by my side, you might have suffered a bit by now, being called back and forth from time to time, but you can still live well …"

Her voice was choked with sobs. She had died because the mastermind behind the plot had targeted her instead of trying to kill her.

"Did you make the Fire Reversal Scale? "Who did it?"

Clenching his fists in grief and indignation, he suppressed the indignation in his heart. No matter who did it, it was impossible for the tares to come back to life.

In this place, who could protect who? Could the White Horse Emperor protect her?

She slowly stood up, a sparkling look in her eyes. Suppressing her tears, she said that the Imperial Palace had never believed in tears. At this moment, she wished with all her heart that she was truly a witch, that she could revive the dead and bring back life.

The eyes of the tares were still staring in horror. Ji Tian Ning took out a silk handkerchief and placed it on the face of the tadpole. He turned around and walked out of the room. With a cold gaze, he stared at the Begonia standing not far away while holding onto the tree.

"Is this the might your emperor has given me?"

"Empress, this is not what the emperor is doing. If the emperor wants to kill someone, there is no need to secretly kill them. Besides, he is bestowing the death of a little eunuch."

There was no longer any trace of panic on the face of the Begonia, and her delicate eyebrows slightly knitted together. No matter who it was, it was always because she locked it up that caused this to happen.

He bowed deeply and said, "This humble subject has failed to notice. Please grant me your punishment."

Ji Tian Ning coldly laughed, "How do I punish you? "If I punish you, will the tares be reborn?"

The Begonia kneeled on the ground, "It was this official who locked up the tares. The Empress bestowed punishment upon me, and this official is willing to accept it."

Her cold eyes stared at the Begonia. Could she punish it? And how should he punish Begonia? The matriarch of the main palace held an extremely high position in the imperial harem, and her status was even higher than that of an ordinary imperial concubine.

A cold smile appeared on her face. If it wasn't for the flower secretly playing tricks on her, how could she have lost her chastity in the hot spring? If he hadn't been locked up, he might not have died so quickly. All this was caused by the Begonia. However, if she were to punish the Begonia, I'm afraid the White Horse Emperor would not agree.

Did she need his consent?

No, she didn't!

Slowly bending her body, she stared at the Begonia kneeling before her. She was a third rank concubine, with a higher position than the Begonia.

"Do you know? If someone treats me well, I will never forget it. However, if someone treats me badly, I will never hold a grudge, because that grudge, I will get my revenge then and there. Begonia, today you've harmed me twice, and it has also harmed the life of the tares. "Tell me, how should I take revenge?"

The Begonia lowered her head, prostrating herself on the ground. "I'll let the Empress punish me as she pleases."

She was not afraid. She knew that Ji Tian Ning was a kind person and would not punish any of her servants. Even if the servant had committed some small mistake, Ji Tian Ning would just smile and ignore him.

As a female official of the main palace, as well as a female official of the two imperial harem, and as the most trusted person by Huo Ni Lin's side, the imperial concubines of the harem would all befriend her and no one would be willing to offend her.

Before Ji Tian Ning came out, she had already sent someone to notify Huo Ni Lin. Even if Ji Tian Ning wanted to punish her, the emperor would definitely do so in time to stop her.

"Begonia, are you waiting for your emperor? Do you think that he can stop me from punishing you? "

A wisp of silver light quietly appeared in his hand and swiftly pierced into the Begonia's shoulder. The Begonia raised her head in shock, her chin was grabbed by Ji Tian Ning, a pill was stuffed into her mouth, suddenly hitting her back, the pill was swallowed.

Poison?

Qiuxiang's expression changed. She had not expected Ji Tian Ning to be so forceful as to poison her with poison.

However, with a silver needle stuck in her shoulder, she was unable to lift her arm. Ji Tian Ning pressed down heavily on the Begonia's shoulder, revealing a cold smile, "Are you afraid?"

Gazing into the beautiful eyes of the Begonia, she saw some fear and panic within. However, in the blink of an eye, Qiuxiu's expression returned to normal.

"This humble subject thanks for the punishment."

He lowered his eyelids, masking the emotions in his eyes. If it was poison, he would probably die. However, he had a feeling that the poison that Ji Tian Ning had given her was not poison. He didn't know why, but such a thought would appear in his mind. Even if it were poison, he didn't find it strange at all.

If the matter at the hot spring was not enough for Ji Tian Ning to take revenge, then the death of Teng Zizi had definitely brought the Empress to the brink of fury.

What chilled her to the core was that this was the Wind and Rain Pavilion, an airtight one. However, this was still the place where she had been quietly killed. Who could sneakily enter the Wind and Rain Pavilion, kill a person without making a sound, and then retreat safe and sound?

"I will return what you gave me back, but this is not a temporary reward!"

In the distance, Ji Tian Ning saw a red silhouette rapidly heading her way. She smiled coldly as she released her hold on the Begonia. So what if it was the Wind and Rain Pavilion? Even this pavilion that was the most heavily guarded was not a safe place.

Since she could be killed by someone, she was no exception. If someone really wanted to kill her, could the White Horse Emperor really guarantee that she wouldn't die?

"I'm afraid the only person who can protect myself now is me. The only person I can rely on is none other than myself."

Sorrow appeared on her beautiful face. She was still a child, a carefree young man who should be attending school. However, because of her, she was implicated and killed.

Without looking at the Begonia kneeling on the ground anymore, he turned around and walked outside.

She didn't pause for even a moment as she walked past him indifferently.

A slightly rough hand grabbed her, and the reverse fire scale signaled her with its eyes, letting Wude go over to see how the Begonia was doing.

"My beloved concubine, have you not learned even the most basic of etiquette? Seeing that I actually want to pass away without saying a word, do you know what punishment it is to look down on a king? "

A seductive smile appeared on his face, but there was no trace of warmth in that smile.

"Does Your Majesty still need to find a reason to punish his crimes? If the Emperor wanted to kill a person, he would only need to say a few words. He didn't even need to send people to kill him. If the sovereign wants this official to die, does this official dare to not die? Unfortunately, I am not the emperor's subject, and I don't have that kind of awareness. But why should the Emperor be angry? "

As his body neared the reverse scale, he indistinctly stuck himself onto it, his mouth almost touching the reverse scale's cheek.

"Even if the Emperor wanted to kill me, there would be no need to trouble himself, because someone would be happy to do it. Today, it was the tares who died. Tomorrow, it might be me. It seems that this Wind and Rain Pavilion isn't a safe place. Our lives are like grass, not enough for Doyle. "But you are different. You are the Son of Heaven, so you should be careful."

His deep eyes were like a bottomless pond. No one could see any fluctuations in his eyes, but Ji Tian Ning could feel the anger in his Fire Inverted Scales from the temperature of the ice.

Thus, she smiled even more sweetly and whispered in his ear, "It seems that not everyone around the emperor is loyal to you, and I'm not someone the emperor can protect."

A sharp pain came from his wrist and his charming smile became even wider. Perhaps the only thing he could do was to anger the White Horse Emperor to death.

"Thank you, your majesty, for giving me this bracelet, and for personally putting it on. Could it be that this is the reward for the Emperor's favor?"

His other hand was wrapped around Ji Tian Ning's waist.

The surrounding guards quietly retreated as someone led a team to search the area. Ji Tianning slightly curled his lips. The time it took for him to die was at least two hours. When she touched it, the body of the tadpole was no longer warm and cold. Initially, it would take three to four hours before a person's body temperature could match the temperature of the surroundings.

However, the tassels had their heads chopped off and their blood lost too much, so their body temperature dropped especially fast. Judging by the temperature and the degree of congealing of the blood, it had been quite some time.

If they were to search again at this time, it would be strange if they were able to find a ghost.
