"This humble subject doesn't dare speak bluntly. I'm deeply afraid that His Majesty will face the consequences."

He knew that the Emperor could not afford to lose even more than he could.

"If you say so, I will not blame you."

Seeing the tone of the Fire Reversal Scales, Yong Lianyun knew that he could say something important to remind the Emperor.

"Time waits for no man, time does not wait, time does not return. This subject didn't dare speak up for His Majesty's decision. All I wanted to say was that His Majesty couldn't afford to lose. Your subject lost, but lost one life. Your Majesty lost the entire world! "

These words were already extremely disrespectful. An Lingyun turned pale with fright as she looked at the Prime Minister, who never said much and never offended anyone with his glib words.

"Master, you …"

Huo Ni Lin waved his hand and stopped An Ling and Qinglan from talking anymore. His cold eyes were fixed on Yi Yuan, who calmly looked back at him.

After a long while, he narrowed his eyes into a dangerous curve, looked at Shi Yan and asked, "How confident are you?"

"Then we'll have to see how His Majesty plans things out after so many years. This subject has also grasped a certain amount of power. Right now, His Majesty's determination is the key to determining the outcome." "Of course, there's also the attitude of a marquis sweeping the north."

"Gong Jiu Tian will not trust him."

"According to this subject's knowledge, the Dukedom of the North has gained the trust, but I don't know who the target of the Dukedom's loyalty is!"

He was reminding the Fire Lin Clan that Shang Qiuyuan's attitude was very critical. After all, he held the military power and he was a man of his word in Fengyuan. If he stood on the side of the Fire Lin Clan, it would be one of the keys to determining the outcome of the battle.

With a solemn face, Huo Ni Lin stared at the imperial report on the table and handed it to Yong Qian, "This is the imperial report that was delivered by the King during the last few days. Take a look at it."

"Your Majesty, it's best if you make a decision as soon as possible." After taking the imperial edict and sweeping through it, he put it back on the dragon table.

An Lingyun took a step forward and bowed. "May Your Majesty make your decision long ago."

Her sword-like brows deeply knitted, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes as she looked at the two of them, "She is just a woman without any background, why must she be like this?"

"Sigh …"

"Your Majesty has never treated women like this before. Why can't you read them properly this time?" His Majesty also understood who it was that had spread the children's Prophecy, and what it meant. "Besides, since His Majesty hasn't doted on esteemed mistress, he definitely doesn't like her from the bottom of his heart. Why can't he let her go?"

"But, she already has my flesh and blood."

He didn't know what to say. All along, there had been many rumours about the people in the imperial harem. No one knew whether or not the reverse scale had favored Ji Tian Ning.

Although An Lingyun was the commander of the imperial guards, she wasn't very clear about it. However, a few days ago in the hot spring, Huo Ni Lin favored Ji Tian Ning and many people knew about this. However, he had never heard that Ji Tian Ning had a dragon seed.

"His Majesty already has a descendant. For this matter, please reconsider. This humble subject won't say much." However, there are people who cannot wait for me. I heard that the King has secretly returned from Fengyuan. "

Huo Ni Lin was shocked. He raised his eyes and stared at Yong Xian Yun, "You said he's back?" How do you know? Is the information accurate? "

The corner of his mouth contained an indescribable smile. His sparkling eyes flickered as he said, "I just heard some news. It's not for no reason."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Fengyuan has a secret military report for submission."

"Whose memorial is it?"

"To sweep the North Marquis' secret report."

"Hand it over quickly."

"Your Majesty, someone has come to request an audience with Your Majesty."

"Pass."

A person strode in, his gloomy gaze sweeping over the side chamber. With just a glance, the side chamber was filled with an aura of death. They couldn't see any signs of life from those gray eyes. It was as if this person was also lifeless.

This person was quite tall. On his large skeleton, there seemed to be no muscles under the soft armor, only bones. His body was full of bones, sharp and lofty. His high cheekbones were raised, and his eye sockets were sunken. There was no flesh on his cheeks, and his beard was covered with his chin, making him look quite terrifying.

"Subordinate's golden armor, greetings, Your Majesty."

"Rise, I'll remember you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The gold armor was presented to the military newspaper. As soon as the reverse scale of fire was opened, it contained information on the military, as well as plans for the next step. However, there was no mention of the nine heavens of the palace.

"Golden Armor, let me introduce him to you. This is the Prime Minister of the Southern Champion, you have met him before."

Golden Armor bowed, "This general greets the Lord Prime Minister."

"General, you don't have to be so polite. Come here and work hard. Thank you for your hard work, General."

An Lingyun and the others also went up to greet the golden armor. After looking at it for a while, they realized that they couldn't be satisfied with the military news. At this moment, what he wanted to know the most was whether or not the Nine Heavens Palace had truly secretly returned to the Southern Champion City.

"Is it good to be side by side with you, King? "Now that Shang Qiuyuan is the young prince, he needs to take care of the side by side king."

His dull eyes were like the faint glow that came from a skeleton. They swept past the Fiery Inverted Scales and he lowered his eyes slightly, not replying to Fiery Inverted Scales' words. After a while, he replied hoarsely, "Your Majesty's blessing, this subject will definitely bring back to report to the marshal."

The Golden Armor still addressed Shang Qiuyuan as marshal, not as young prince. The expression on his face softened a little. Was this to show him that Shang Qiuyuan did not boast of himself as the noble young prince of the Southern Champion Country to his subordinates?

"Golden General, This Prime Minister remembers that the Great General has already kowtowed to the Shoulder King. We should address him as Young Prince. It's not logical to call him General, is it? "

Golden Armour bowed slightly. "Yes, this lowly general has been under the command of the marshal for a long time. I'm used to calling the marshal this, not to mention before the army. Please forgive me."

Huo Ni Lin raised his head and said, "There are no outsiders here. You don't have to worry about what you say. I've heard that the King of Shoulder and Shoulder isn't in the army at the moment, is that true? "

Golden Armor swept a glance at Yong Lianyun. He didn't know much about this Prime Minister, but he had long been famous for it. Thus, he bowed and said, "The great marshal has sent this humble subject back because this humble subject has not been feeling well recently. This humble subject does not know where Your Highness is, and has not seen Your Highness for many days. "

Currently, Ji Tian Ning was a concubine, and the Golden Armor was a vassal. It was extremely inappropriate for him to let Ji Tian Ning check his pulse as well.

"Shang Qiuyuan is not someone who doesn't know his limits. I wonder what he means by saying that when he sent the Golden Armor back?" "Could it be that he wants to imply something to me?"

"If you wish to have your beloved daughter fight for me in battle, I will grant you the treatment of the Empress." "Wu De, send the golden armor to ask the Empress to treat it before bringing it back. We still have a military report to ask."

Wude bowed and led the Golden Armour down. Only after seeing the man with the aura of death walk out did Yong Lianyun feel much better.

"Is this person the golden-armored warrior who was saved by the Empress?" He didn't want to become like this. Your Majesty, if there's no more decisions, this humble subject will take his leave first. "

A relaxed expression was revealed on his face. If the emperor wasn't in a hurry, then why would he be in a hurry? He used this expression to express his desire to the Fire Reversal Scale.

His eyes lit up as he stared at Yong Lianyun. All these years, he had secretly asked him to gather his power in order to wait for this day. However, he didn't know if he should truly trust Yong Lianyun. This plan was too big. He still remembered how his Prime Minister died seven years ago.

"I know what to do. I won't let you down. You go and investigate the matter of the King, see where he is now."

"This subject follows the decree. If the matter of the evil witch continues to drag on, it will be of no benefit to Your Majesty."

An Lingyun knelt in front of Huo Ni Lin, sincerely looking at him. "Your Majesty, there's no need to hesitate any longer. The empress dowager has also sent out an oracle from grandmist palace. Do you really think Your Majesty wants to go against her?"

The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile. He had never believed in the will of a God. If there was a true god in this world, why would there be so much strife and ambition? The wicked have not been rewarded, and good men will not live long.

"I understand. I'm tired today. You may leave."

An Lingyun still wanted to say something, but when she was glanced at by Huo Ni Lin, she hastily bowed and retreated. Under this pressure, she didn't dare to say anything else.

She clenched her fist. Was she really going to be sent to the execution platform?

Even if he said that she already had a dragon seed, could he still not save her life? Why? These people wanted to force him so much.

"Little cat, I hope that your letter can save your life." Perhaps, you're right. Even I am unable to protect your life! "

After a long time, the golden armor returned. "Is there anything special about Feng Yuan?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the marshal has said that the King of Shoulder and Shoulder King is plotting to deploy troops. Recently, even the marshal has not seen you, your highness."

Could it be that that old fox really came back to the Southern Champion City? If that was the case, it was hard to say what would have happened. Today, from the Hongmeng Palace, the empress dowager had sent back an oracle urging him to punish the evil Ji Tianning. Huo Ni Lin couldn't help but sigh. He originally wanted to use this as an excuse for Ji Tian Ning to become pregnant with the dragon's seed, but now it seemed that he couldn't drag it out any longer.

"Since that's the case, wait a moment, I have a secret decree for Shang Qiuyuan. You can bring it back."

The Golden Armor came closer and handed a piece of yellow silk to the Golden Armor. The Golden Armor hid itself carefully and knelt on the ground again, remaining silent.

"If you have something to say, say it."

"Is His Majesty really going to send the Empress to the stake?"

"Did you tell her?"

"This subject isn't willing to tell this matter to the Empress. Is His Majesty so patient to treat the Empress in such a cruel manner?"

"How dare you! You don't need to worry about this!"

Huo Ni Lin angrily slapped the table as he recalled the brilliant smile that Ji Tian Ning had never shown him when he was together with Qiu Yuan.

"Your Majesty …"

"Who are you …"

The reverse fire scale suddenly stopped. He originally wanted to ask the Golden Armor about who was asking about Ji Tian Ning's safety. Could it be Shang Qiuyuan? It was only when he thought about how he had lost his dignity as an emperor that he came to a stop.

"This subject's life was bestowed to you by the Empress. This humble subject is willing to protect the Empress's safety with my death. This subject and others, after hearing of this matter from Fengyuan, were worried that the Empress might be killed, so they travelled back night and day. "If Your Majesty still has a trace of pity for the Empress, then let the Empress go."

His stern gaze was ice-cold as it stared at the golden armor. To speak to him in such a manner was already a capital offense.

"Do you know that speaking to me like this is a capital offense?"

"This subject has died once before. This remnant body was bestowed by the Empress. If this humble subject's death can save the Empress's life, this subject can die with no regrets."

Fire Reversal said in a low voice: "Did you see that? These are the reports asking me to send her to the execution platform. I have suppressed them for several days. Now, the imperial report of the Shoulder Emperor has arrived, and he is threatening me with retreat. Shang Qiuyuan once swore loyalty to me, and I trusted him and gave him military authority. When you bring that secret decree back to him, he naturally understands what I mean. It's just that I can't let the Empress go now. She is my woman, how can I let her go? "Besides, at this moment, if I release her, I'll be in dire straits."

"If Your Majesty truly wishes to spare Your Highness, this subject can help Your Majesty share his worries. On another day, Your Majesty will have a chance to reunite with Your Majesty."

The golden armor's words caused Huo Ni Lin's heart to palpitate with excitement. He had done so many things, but he didn't want to see that little cat be sent to the execution platform!

However, at this point, the imperial concubine had requested for the empress to put Ji Tian Ning to death, as well as an imperial edict. And now, there were even a total of nine days that had sent a memorial, threatening him. As for him, he couldn't make a mistake at this moment. His efforts were for naught. "Something that has been plotted for a long time cannot be defeated in the end because of a woman.

"You may leave. Do not bring up this matter again. I am tired."

"Your Majesty …"

Golden Armor knocked his head against the ground. Blood flowed out of his eyes. The reason he came back was to save Ji Tian Ning's life. This was also the order of the marshal. Those who followed him back were all warriors who owed Ji Tian Ning their lives and who only survived due to her treatment.
