"Li Hen Tian, do you know how you should be punished for your crimes?"

"We shall leave it to the emperor to deal with, but the Empress is not at fault. May the emperor not punish the Empress." If it were not for the fact that he wanted to send the Empress to the stake, the Empress would not have escaped the Imperial Palace. "Now that the Empress has returned, I hope that the Emperor will treat her well and not punish her."

"How dare you. You should not be the one to interfere in such matters."

Li Hantian lowered his head deeply, "Your majesty forgive me, but this subject has overstepped his boundaries. It's just that on the way, this subject saw that the Empress was depressed and missed the emperor. She even asked a few other people about his illness."

When he said this, Li Hantian's heart ached. The reason he said this was to make sure that the reverse fire scale didn't blame Ji Tian Ning.

Huo Ni Lin's heart skipped a beat. He walked up to the bed and looked down at Li Hantian. Li Hantian lowered his head, but he couldn't see the expression on Li Hantian's face.

"Raise your head."

Li Hantian lifted his head and lowered his eyes. His heart was filled with worry for Ji Tian Ning. Even though the reverse fire scale didn't heavily punish Ji Tian Ning and instead relegated him to being a slave, he still hated Ji Tian Ning's pride and desire for freedom. To Ji Tian Ning, this kind of punishment wasn't painful at all.

With a face that had lost too much blood, the sharp and clear lines were still impressive and handsome, becoming somewhat weaker. His bright eyes dimmed as he respectfully kneeled in front of the Fiery Inverted Scales.

As his gaze swept across Li Hantian's face, Huo Ni Lin was suddenly enraged. Not only was this person too handsome, his martial arts skills were also exceptional. Protecting Ji Tian Ning all the way, the two of them were a lone man and a single woman. How could they not have any intimate feelings for each other?

Li Hantian risked his life to save Ji Tian Ning, but he didn't believe that there was no friendship between the two of them.

This was especially true for Ji Tianning. Today, in order to get him to let go of Hateful Heavens, he had to keep a low profile. His head began to hurt again, and he was losing control of his emotions.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Hantian. His eyes were filled with violence. With a wave of his hand, Li Hantian fell heavily onto the ground. He extended his leg and stepped on Li Hantian.

Li Hen was shocked. Everyone in the five kingdoms knew that the Fire Lin was the Emperor with a powerful martial arts skill.

He barely managed to suppress the pain as he knelt on the ground once more. "Your majesty, please calm your anger. If your majesty wants to punish this subject, you shouldn't use Your Majesty's own hands."

He didn't dare to do anything because this place was surrounded by the Fire Reversal Scale's imperial guards, and with his current injuries, there was no way that he could be a match for the Fire Reversal Scale.

With a kick, Li Tian's body flew out and heavily crashed into the wall.

"Wow …"

He spat out a mouthful of blood as the wounds on his body ruptured, causing a dark red liquid to seep out. Lying on the ground, panting heavily, he watched the fiery-red figure approach.

As the reverse fire scale looked down at Li Hantian, who was covered in blood, the anger in its heart lessened. When it moved, the silver needles on its head trembled and the pain lessened.

Hateful Sky slightly closed his eyes. Right now, he could only let the reverse scale do whatever it wanted to him. He had no way of resisting.

His eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and killing intent surged in his heart. Right now, he only needed to raise his leg to stomp this Hu'er to death so that Ji Tian Ning wouldn't be able to see him.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty …"

A delicate voice sounded from the outside. It was filled with worry and anxiety. Seeing that the Fiery Inverted Scale had not come out even after a long time, Ji Tian Ning could not take it anymore. He was afraid that the Fiery Inverted Scale would harm Hate. Unable to control his emotions, he shouted loudly.

"Don't lose out on anything you eat. Baima Emperor is ruthless, I'll kiss ass to you until your soul disappears."

"Your majesty, it's snowing. This is the first time this servant has seen snow here. How about this servant accompany the emperor for a stroll and enjoy the view?"

Huo Ni Lin raised his foot and looked at the blood-stained Li Hantian. He felt that it was a bit of a waste to bully such a heavily injured person.

"Your Majesty, it's so cold! Your servant knows her wrongs. Your servant will be the one to serve you hot soup." The chickens here are very fat, and the ducks are very tender. This servant promises to give His Majesty a panacea soup so that he can have a hearty meal. "

Huo Ni Lin took a few deep breaths and calmed down a bit. Then, he walked past Li Hantian and walked out of the room. He did not turn his head, afraid that if he did, he would kick Hu'er to death.

Seeing that the reverse scale had walked out of the room, Ji Tian Ning looked into the room with a worried gaze.

Le Tian slightly nodded his head. Seeing the reverse scale of fire pass by, he quickly entered the Li Hen Room.

"Brave Li warrior!"

Seeing Li Hantian once again oozing blood and lying on the ground, he couldn't help but be shocked and quickly rushed over to check.

"Sir Le, I'm fine. Don't reveal anything to prevent the Empress from worrying."

Le Tian hurriedly helped Li Tianyi up and laid him back on the bed. Thinking that Ji Tianning was still kneeling outside, he hurried over to the door and smiled at Ji Tianning. He shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

He also didn't want Ji Tian Ning to worry, so he hid the matter of Li Hen Tian being injured again.

Ji Tian Ning was relieved. He stared at the Fire Inverted Scales' feet before him. His red back looked quite handsome, but how much longer could he persevere for?

His heart was filled with desolation. He was so proud and arrogant, but in the end, he couldn't resist the torture of disease. Now, he was even skinnier than before.

"Your majesty, you've lost a lot of weight."

He spoke with a very deep tone, but his mouth was curled up. At this moment, his back was facing her, so he couldn't see the expression on her face.

The heart of Huo Ni Lin softened. It was as if he had never heard her say it before. He wanted to get her up, but his heart hardened again. How could he not know that her gentleness was only for that Hu'er?

"What do you think we should do with you two, especially that Hu who dares to kidnap my woman and flee?"

Your Majesty's words are wrong. This servant has long since died, and the emperor's decree announces it to the world. This servant was sent to the execution platform and turned into a wisp of smoke, long gone from this world. "Now, what kind of crime is the Emperor going to use to punish someone who has already died in name?"

The Fiery-Scaled Beast suddenly turned its head. This little kitten was still as sharp-tongued as ever. That's right, no matter how many rumors spread among the five empires, he could not admit that she was still alive, or that she had escaped from his palace.

She, could only be a living dead person.

"It seems that you have yet to repent and are unwilling to admit your wrongs. Thus, you should continue pondering over this matter."

He wanted to see how long she could last. Because of that Hu'er, he could humiliate her as much as he wanted to.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. If it wasn't for that, this little kitten might never have truly lowered its head to him.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty …"

Ji Tian Ning grabbed onto the reverse fire scale's legs. It was really cold outside and it was quite difficult to kneel. She did not mind hugging onto Huo Ni Lin's leg in order to avoid punishment. It was only true that she wouldn't suffer a loss. A hero had to be sensible, not to mention a little girl like her.

He raised his head, causing his large eyes to gush with sparkling light. He looked at the reverse scale pitifully and said, "Emperor Baima, just listen to me. Let me get up and warm up for a while."

As he said that in his heart, he looked at the Fire Lin, his eyes filled with sadness. He suddenly realized that the Fire Lin's handsome face was ashen white, filled with pain, and the lines on his face became even more clear.

His heart could not help but ache as he stared stupidly at the Fiery Inverted Scale. After not seeing it for a few months, he was actually so haggard.

He looked at the person who he had once held back in his dream. At this moment, a single drop of sparkling light appeared in front of him. No matter how domineering he was, how long would he last? This was her first man, the man she had fallen in love with.

He extended his hand and held onto the reverse fire scale's hand. That hand was ice-cold and didn't have any temperature, so he held it tightly. How he was suffering from inhuman pain, suppressing himself.

For the first time in his life, Ji Tian Ning hated that he did not have the ability, the ability, and the ability to cure the reverse scale to ease his pain.

With a slight pull of his wrist, Huo Ni Lin pulled Ji Tian Ning up and carried him in his arms. He ignored the gazes of the surrounding guards and led Ji Tian Ning into the room.

Ji Tian Ning didn't resist. He stretched out his hand to touch the flame scales on his face, "Do you still feel any pain?"

"Yes."

He coldly snorted. He had never been willing to reveal his weakness in front of anyone. Even when he was ill and lost his rationality, he could only use brutality to conceal himself.

"Sit down, I'll examine it."

"Don't forget what kind of etiquette you should maintain in front of me."

She still cared about him, and cared about him.

"It's the emperor. Please sit down and have this servant examine the emperor's illness."

Ji Tian Ning prayed that there would be no reaction from the crystal skull. She already knew that every time the crystal skull showed illusions or prophecies, it would always be associated with death.

If she carefully examined the reverse fire scale, she would find that it didn't have an instrument. She couldn't figure out what was inside the reverse fire scale's skull, so she couldn't confirm what was inside.

"How is it? Is it possible to control it?"

Ji Tian Ning sighed in his heart. Control was only temporary. He couldn't remove the true pain from the reverse fire scale and alleviate its condition. But now, he could only temporarily rely on his drug control to alleviate his pain.

"This is the medicine this servant has just concocted for Your Majesty. If you find it difficult to endure the pain, then take one and don't use too many of them."

She placed a porcelain bottle in the hands of the Fire Lin Lin, her eyes filled with worry. When the Fire Lin took the bottle, her heart softened. She hadn't forgotten about his illness and even made new medicines.

"How is it? How do you feel after spending such a long time enjoying yourself?"

"The chaotic world is filled with wars and bandits everywhere. The people are the ones who suffer the most."

"I heard that you met with Monk Qiuyuan?"

In Huo Ni Lin's heart, he was still unable to let go of Shang Qiuyuan. Not only was it because of the brilliant smile that Ji Tian Ning had displayed in front of Shang Qiuyuan back then, he was also deeply worried. Now, he heard that Shoulder King regarded Shang Qiuyuan extremely highly and regarded him as his own flesh and blood. The two had a very good relationship and he was worried that Shang Qiuyuan's stance had quietly changed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your servant has seen him."

Ji Tian Ning did not want to bring up Shang Qiuyuan any further. She knew that Huo Ni Lin was already severely injured, so she could not do anything about it even if she did not want to.

"Do you know what the rumors are about the people of the five nations?"

Huo Ni Lin angrily looked at Ji Tian Ning. As the Son of Heaven, he had already become the laughingstock of the five kingdoms, with no face left behind.

"The Emperor also knows that this is a rumor. Why should he worry about it? Wouldn't it be losing the majesty of the Emperor?" "Foolish people say that, while intelligent people laugh, given how wise the Emperor is, how could he possibly lower himself to the level of those idle chats."

Ji Tian Ning let out a faint smile as she placed the hat on Huo Ni Lin's head. This hat didn't cost one's money and one didn't need to go home to get it.

"Don't try to confuse me with this. I won't let a good man like you go easily."

"What does the Emperor want in order to release Hateful Heavens?"

Ji Tian Ning was not angry. If he knew how to angrily argue, he would only make the reverse scale go crazy. He used his clear eyes to look at the reverse scale, gently pressing the acupuncture points on it to ease the pain.

"When you have my child, I'll let him go."

With just one sentence, Ji Tian Ning was on the verge of going berserk. What was this?

With a slight frown, she turned around and walked to the window to suppress the anger in her heart.

"I'll endure …"

After muttering the word "endure" countless times in his heart, he understood that he couldn't control his emotions at this moment. He silently stood by the window and pushed the sill open a little bit. Looking out at the snow falling from the sky, his mind was filled with endless thoughts.

What she was most worried about was still Hateful Heaven. The crystal skull's prophecy and illusions, she didn't know if they could be considered finished or not. If Li Hantian could survive this disaster, would he be able to break out of it?

"How is my illness?"

"The emperor's illness has worsened."

"Possible treatment? If not, how much time do I have left? Don't you know something? "Let's predict how much time I have left."

"Your majesty, I cannot."

Ji Tian Ning turned his head and looked at Huo Ni Lin gloomily, "Your Majesty, I will stay behind to wait upon the Emperor. I hope that Your Majesty will allow Hateful Sky to leave."
