"Empress, forget about that Hu'er. This is your home. The Emperor should be the only man in your heart."

"Men, send men to follow their tracks. We must not lose any news of them." "Send someone back to report every day at regular intervals. Do not slack off."

"Yes."

Someone promised to leave, but Ji Tian Ning did not see that.

In the end, Wu De wasn't able to put down the doubt in his heart and secretly sent people to follow the two of them. He wanted to control their movements and prevent them from being questioned in the future by fire.

"Does the emperor really want to let these two go?" Or could it be that the Empress had such a charming method to seduce the Emperor and change his original decision? But why would the Emperor personally order me to release them? "

He understood that he would only find out the truth once the Fiery Inverted Scales awoken. Under the urging of Ji Tian Ning and the orders from the Fiery Inverted Scales, he had to first let Hateful Heaven and Wang Lin leave.

By secretly sending people to follow them, they can gain control of their tracks. If the Fiery Inverted Scale had another order, they could capture the two of them at any time.

Ji Tian Ning silently sat at the head of the bed, looking at the unconscious Huo Ni Lin. The lines of his thin face became even more distinct, and his pale, white, sword-like brows slightly knitted together. There seemed to be endless pain in his dreams.

The pain that came from her body caused Ji Tian Ning to frown. The wounds on her body had yet to be treated and her legs were still weak. Just a moment ago, she had been holding on and sending them off. Now that she had relaxed, not a single bone in her body didn't feel any pain. The pain of the wounds on her skin tormented her nerves.

"Wu De."

She wiped away the tears on her face and didn't turn around to call out to him. She knew that Wu De would definitely be nearby, and even if she wasn't, his subordinates would immediately notify him.

Sure enough, Wu De quickly appeared behind her. "What orders do you have, Empress?"

"Please get me some hot water and some clothes. I want to bathe and change."

"May the Empress wait a moment, this servant is preparing. These are the Empress's clothes."

Ji Tian Ning still did not turn back. He did not want Wude to see the tear stains on his face. He indifferently said, "Many thanks. Please put it to the side."

"Hot water is currently being prepared. It will be delivered to the Empress shortly. This is the ginseng soup that has just been made for the Empress. This servant has put it on the table. I ask that the Empress take it while it is still warm."

"Wude, sorry to trouble you."

"I don't dare, this is what this servant should do. Empress, please don't be so polite to this servant. If you have anything to say, just say it." "Empress Dowager, please rest for a moment. This servant will take his leave."

Wu De bowed slightly and left. Even though Huo Ni Lin had clearly ordered Ji Tian Ning to be relegated to being a servant, he still didn't dare to be impolite to Ji Tian Ning in the slightest.

This was because he was well aware that the Fiery-Scaled Beast could demean Ji Tian Ning and make her one of the Six Palaces as a slave the very next day. This was not the case. Ji Tian Ning's current status was not important. What was important was her position in the Emperor's heart.

Ji Tian Ning washed her face. Every movement she made caused her to feel pain. The scars on her body only made her body ache, but the scars on the bottom of her heart made her heart turn cold.

He didn't dare to imagine how he would face the reverse scale of fire everyday in the future. It was so much so that his life could be in danger at any moment. She didn't know if she could use the pendant again. This thing had been around her neck for a long time. Although it was passed down from her ancestors, even her grandfather couldn't tell what was so mystical about it.

"It seems like this crystal skull finally chose me instead of me."

Gently stroking the crystal skull on her neck, she remembered that her grandfather had said that this thing would choose its own master, and that not everyone in the Ji Clan could wear it.

In this generation, the crystal skull did not choose the men of the Ji family, but chose her instead.

The owner of the crystal skull was the one who was able to wear it without any problems or nightmares.

Ji Tian Ning had brothers and sisters, and had tested every single one of them. She would cry uncontrollably if she was wearing this. She would only be safe if she wore it around her neck.

After soaking her delicate body in the water, the water had soaked her wounds, making the pain even more unbearable. The wound on her back was something she could not deal with herself, and it made her even more frustrated.

He took a quick bath, not daring to let the wound stay in the water for too long to avoid infection.

"Empress, this servant has found two women for the Empress to temporarily serve the Empress."

From outside the door, Wu De's voice came. He had found two nimble and agile young women from the village and came to serve Ji Tian Ning. He also guessed that Ji Tian Ning was being tortured by the reverse scale just now. Although he didn't know how he managed to confuse the emperor, he must have been injured.

He sighed to himself. This was already the best. After all, there were several concubines who had died after attending to their sleeping arrangements. Their bodies were riddled with wounds and wounds.

Ji Tian Ning said to himself, "Let them in."

The two women walked in and knelt down to pay their respects. "This humble one pays her respects to the Empress."

They kneeled on the ground in fear, not daring to raise their heads to look. A person being able to see the noble Empress was something they had never expected.

Ji Tian Ning gently said, "You two can get up. There's no need to stand on ceremony. Are you guys from here?"

"Yes. Reporting to the Empress, all the commoners are from this village."

"The two of you come over and bandage my back with medicine."

At this time, Ji Tian Ning had already treated the wounds on the other parts of the body, only leaving behind the scars on her back that were difficult to treat. She prepared the disinfectant solution for the two of them to use to first disinfect the wounds and then apply the medicine.

The wounds were fine, not serious, but the waves of pain made her restless. What made her feel even more humiliated was that the attitude that Huo Ni Lin treated her with, that kind of unbridled torture and humiliation, was the first in her life.

She noticed that blood was flowing out from that place. Although it wasn't much, it was still the softest and most sensitive part of the body. Even if it was slightly damaged, the pain would still be excruciating.

The two girls looked at the wounds on Ji Tian Ning's back and body with fear. Fortunately, they were both rural women and not the powerless young masters and mistresses. They quickly treated Ji Tian Ning with the antidote.

"There's nothing else. The two of you can go rest."

Ji Tian Ning put on her clothes and felt endless exhaustion. She once again used medicine for the Fire Reversal Scale and guaranteed that this White Horse Emperor would be able to sleep until tomorrow morning.

She lay beside the reverse scale, breathing in the familiar scent of the reverse scale. She felt a cool sensation on her body, and after applying medicine to her wound, the pain lessened a lot.

She was too tired, so she quickly fell asleep.

Perhaps she was too tired from being tortured by the reverse scale of fire, but when she opened her eyes the next day, the sky was already bright.

Turning her head slightly, she realized that the figure of the Baima Emperor was no longer beside her. She hurriedly sat up and put on her clothes.

She hastily put on her shoes, put the thing that could protect her in a place where she could casually take it out and put it away, and decided that as long as the reverse scale went crazy, she would use knockout drugs on this dangerous person at the first possible moment. She definitely could not give him any chance, or else she would be the one to suffer.

"Empress, you've woken up. This humble one is here to wait upon the Empress."

Ji Tian Ning pushed open the door. The two women hastily bowed and looked at Ji Tian Ning carefully.

"Have the two of you ever seen the Emperor?"

"Empress, the emperor left early in the morning and hasn't returned since."

Ji Tian Ning's heart sank. She didn't know if Huo Ni Lin still remembered what happened yesterday or if she still used him to release Li Hen and Le Tian.

He hastily walked out, "Wude, Wude …"

"To reply esteemed Empress, the steward went for a walk with the Emperor. He is not here, and if esteemed Empress has any orders, please instruct this subject and the others."

A guard walked over and bowed respectfully.

"Where did the Emperor and Wu De go?"

"To reply the Empress, the Emperor was bored, so he went for a walk. "The emperor has instructed that if the Empress wakes up, he will invite her to rest. Does the Empress want to eat breakfast?"

Ji Tian Ning shook her head. How could she have the mood to eat? Her heart was filled with worry for Li Hen and Li Tian.

"Where did the Emperor and the Fifth De go? I am also bored and would like to go for a walk with the Emperor. "

"This subject does not know. The emperor has instructed the Empress not to leave. We can just wait here."

Her heart was filled with helplessness. The reason why the White Horse Emperor forbade her to leave was to keep her here. She understood that without the reverse fire scale's orders, she would never be able to leave.

He could only pray in his heart that Hateful Heaven could use his experience in the martial arts world to escape the Fire Reversal Scales' pursuit. From then on, he would disappear and no one would be able to find him.

She looked at the snow on the ground with concern. She did not enter the house, but chose to check the ground to determine where the fire had gone to. When she reached the gate, she was stopped by a guard.

The boiling snow still continued to fall. As the road was covered in snow, even if there were traces, they would be covered up completely without a trace. She felt a bit relieved. If that was the case, it would be very difficult to find a trace of a carriage even if the Fire Reversal Scale were to bring people to chase after Hateful Sky.

She believed that Hateful Heaven understood the meaning behind her words before she left. He definitely wouldn't be sitting in the carriage all this time. He must have already used some other method to escape from this place.

"Tian Tian, don't let him catch you!"

His heart was filled with doubts, as he hoped that the Fire Lin had only gone out for a walk out of boredom. However, he also understood that this idea was wishful thinking. The Fire Lin wasn't a boring person. If he went out so early in the morning, it definitely wouldn't be for a walk.

She could only hope that Hateful Sky would be able to escape based on his experience in the martial arts world.

Feeling uneasy, he asked the two women to help him change the dressing and bandage her body. As the wounds weren't heavy, most of them had already congealed. They only needed to rest for a few days to automatically fall off.

A faint pain entered her body. The torment from yesterday's fire still made her feel ashamed. That kind of torture was no longer a mutual love. Even if the Fire Reversal Scales went crazy from illness, she still wouldn't be able to accept it.

He gently twisted the silk handkerchief in his hand. The silk handkerchief had an intoxicating fragrance that could make people faint. If the handkerchief was not opened, they would quickly faint.

She had already decided that if the Fiery-Scaled Beast dared to attack her again, she would immediately knock it out.

As long as she didn't do any actual harm to the reverse scale, Wude and the guards wouldn't stop her. After all, no one was willing to face the reverse scale of fire that had lost its rationality. Thus, she could make full use of the medicine she concocted to deal with the Baima Emperor.
