Le Tian foolishly looked at Ji Tian Ning, his heart filled with boundless pity. To be able to look at her at such a close distance, just what else could he ask for? Even though she was a prisoner and could be executed at any time, as long as she was able to stay by her side, she would have no regrets.

He suddenly understood what Li Hantian was thinking. He also had the same thought!

"Empress, please stop mourning. I believe that the Heavens must not wish for the Empress to be so sorrowful. The Empress must take care of herself."

Ji Tian Ning was at a loss. Why did she have to take care of herself? For whom should she take care of herself?

What entered his eyes was a jade box placed on top of the table. It was the remains of Hateful Heavens.

"Give me that jade box."

Le Tian handed the jade box over to Ji Tian Ning. He didn't know that the jade box contained the remains of Li Hantian.

The jade box was indescribably heavy, suppressing Ji Tian Ning's heart. He only left behind this small box of ashes, which then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the world. Or perhaps, he should not have been a mortal living in a muddy world and had only returned to his own world.

Looking around, it was as if he was somewhere unknown, gazing at her with a pair of affectionate eyes.

She lowered her head to look at the jade box in her arms. This was something she could not bear, and it hurt her the most.

He slowly opened the jade box. The small lid of the box weighed a thousand kilograms, revealing the ashes and some remains within. With a single glance, she closed the lid of the box tightly. Even to this day, she was still unable to imagine that handsome and valiant man becoming ashes within the jade box.

He let go of her hand and fainted again. A huge sadness knocked her down.

Le Tian quickly stood up and held Ji Tian Ning's wrist. After checking her pulse, she heaved a sigh of relief. She was too sad and too tired. She needed to rest properly.

He took the jade box that Ji Tian Ning was still tightly hugging to his chest and was stunned for a moment. He understood that the ashes and remains in the box were left behind by Li Hen after he was cremated.

He gently placed the jade box on the table and waited by Ji Tian Ning's side.

"Le Tian."

A voice called out to him from the door. Le Tian turned around and saw that Wu De had walked in.

He hastily stood up and greeted, "Greetings, Head Supervisor."

Wu De looked at the unconscious Ji Tian Ning and slightly frowned. "Is the Empress not awake yet?"

"The Empress has woken up once, and fainted again. The Empress's emotions are unstable, so it's better for her to rest."

"The emperor has woken up. Esteemed Empress Xuan wishes to meet him."

"Right now, the Empress is not in a good position to see the Emperor, so as to not arouse any emotions. The blow the Empress has received is too great, making it difficult for her to recover in a short period of time." If the Empress felt uneasy, she could no longer continue to treat the Emperor. I request that the steward play the emperor and let the Empress rest for a few days. "

Wu De walked to the front of the bed and lowered his head to look at the unconscious Ji Tian Ning. Her face was now as white as a sheet, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted.

It had only been a single night, but she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Take good care of the Empress and nourish her, so that she can recover quickly."

"It's the Head Supervisor."

Wu De turned around and walked out. With Ji Tian Ning's current condition, it was obviously impossible for her to see the reverse scale. He shook his head and sighed. Why did the Emperor have to kill that Hu'zi and turn things into such an unmanageable mess?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress is too ill and unconscious to come forward to meet the Emperor."

"Pa …"

Huo Ni Lin slammed the table, "How dare she not come and meet me!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress is currently unconscious, and it is not against Your Majesty's orders. May the emperor calm his anger and let the Empress rest for a few days to recover her health. "The Empress has already given instructions on how to treat the emperor's illness with medicine. It won't be too late for the emperor to summon you when the Empress wakes up and is slightly better."

"He's unconscious?"

"Yes, the Empress has already fainted twice. She should rest in silence for a few days. This servant has just gone to see the Empress, and the Empress is extremely haggard. "

"Humph!"

"Humph!" Huo Ni Lin snorted coldly. Who was it that caused her to be haggard and unconscious?

"It's all because of that Hu'er!"

They had all known for a long time how crazy and out of control the reverse scale was, and no one dared to disobey him even a little.

"What happened to that Hu'er's body?"

"Reporting to your majesty, he has already been burnt to ashes."

After a while, he walked to the door and opened it to look outside. What entered his sight was a sheet of snow-white snow that covered the place where Hateful Sky's body was originally burned. There were no longer any traces of it.

No matter how envious and resentful he was in his heart, a dead person was not worth his effort to think about it.

He walked out and headed straight for Ji Tian Ning's room next door.

Wude was slightly worried in his heart as he followed closely behind. He also had a vague idea of how the Emperor had tortured Ji Tian Ning yesterday. The current Ji Tian Ning had no power to resist, much less endure such torture.

Huo Ni Lin didn't use the two women to tell him, but walked into the room and stared at the bed.

Le Tian had already placed the jade box under the bed. He had already expected that Huo Ni Lin would come over to see Ji Tian Ning, as he was afraid that this jade box would attract the wrath of Huo Ni Lin.

He knelt down respectfully and kowtowed deeply. "Your servant, Le Tian, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

As his feet touched the ground, Le Tian's head drooped even lower, almost touching the ground. He didn't dare to raise his head to look. The cold-blooded Emperor would never forgive anyone, and his crimes were enough for the Emperor to bestow death upon him ten times over.

The blanket was covered with fox fur and charcoal was burning. The temperature in the room was very good. Even so, the pale and tender face on the bed was like a withering pear flower, devoid of any trace of blood.

It had only been one night, and she was as haggard as a flower that had fallen from a branch. Her delicate and pretty face was tightly knitted, as if she was filled with endless worry and sadness. Long eyelashes, hanging shadow to add a few more sadness to the delicate face.

Huo Bu Lin stood in front of the bed and blankly stared at Ji Tian Ning. He had never seen her so weak and haggard without any signs of life.

In his eyes, the little cat was always full of vigor, with sharp claws and teeth sticking out from time to time.

The current her, on the other hand, was like a flower that had begun to wilt. She had lost her beautiful color and vitality as she helplessly laid on the couch, making him almost worry that she would never wake up again.

He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, as if something had grabbed onto his heartstrings. The expression on his grave and stern face softened. Ji Tian Ning lowered her head to look at Ji Tian Ning. She extended a hand to brush aside the hair on her forehead as she gently caressed her face with her fingers.

The woman was as delicate and smooth as silk. She was the most important woman in his heart, and also the one that he had always dreamt of.

He sat on the side and held Ji Tian Ning's hands. His hands were strangely cold. Her delicate body seemed to tremble slightly within the brocade blanket. Sometimes, she would frown deeply, and other times her eyelashes would tremble. Even when she was unconscious, she was extremely unstable.

When his hand touched Ji Tian Ning's forehead and felt the warmth, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. No matter who it was that caused her to be so sorrowful and haggard, it made his heart ache.

"How is she?"

Le Tian kneeled on the ground. Without the order of the Fiery Inverted Scale, he did not dare to get up. Hearing the question from the Fiery Inverted Scale, he hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress's mood is extremely unstable.

Staring at the toes in front of him, he had already decided that if the emperor lost control of himself and tried to harm Ji Tian Ning, he would use extreme methods to deal with the emperor and prevent Ji Tian Ning from getting hurt.

It was a good thing that the reverse scale didn't go crazy or lose control. These past two days of acupuncture and medicine had been very useful. Especially since Hateful Heavens had died, the knot in his heart had been resolved, and his emotions were now much more stable.

He also understood that what he had done last night was somewhat excessive, but he would not regret it, much less think that he was at fault. That Hu'er dared to help Ji Tian Ning escape. In his eyes, it wouldn't be too much even if he were to die ten thousand times.

"How is she? When will you be able to fully recover? "

"Your majesty, the Empress's illness will probably take a while to recover. We can only slowly recuperate, and it's not appropriate for our emotions to fluctuate or work too hard."

"Le Tian, do you know your crime?"

Huo Ni Lin's gaze fell on Le Tian. His gaze was as sharp as a sword. Le Tian, who had been lying prostrate on the ground, felt a chill run down his spine.

He prostrated himself at the feet of the Fiery-Scaled Sword with his head touching the ground. "This sinful official knows his wrongs, and is willing to listen to the emperor's punishments. I plead for the emperor to allow this sinful official to temporarily serve the Empress, and when the Empress recovers, it will not be too late for the emperor to heavily punish the crimes."

"Are you aware of your crimes? "In my opinion, you are not guilty."

Le Tian lay prostrate on the ground. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at the reverse scale of fire, nor did he dare to differentiate between the two.

"If you know your crimes, you won't help that Hu'er escape with you. Last time, I didn't grant you a chance to live, but you didn't think about it. You should betray me again."

"This subject doesn't dare. His Majesty personally ordered the release of Hateful Sky and this subject. That's why I left this place with Hateful Sky." "If it wasn't for His Majesty's decree, how could these sinners and Li Hantian leave this place?"

His gaze shifted to Ji Tian Ning's face. Until now, he still didn't know what Ji Tian Ning used to confuse his mind, making him personally say the orders to release Li Hen and Le Tian.

Wu De had already reported what had happened to him, but he could not remember the scene at that time. If it wasn't for Wude reporting this matter to him after waking up in the morning, he wouldn't even remember personally giving out such an order.

After finding out about this, he didn't have time to find trouble with Ji Tian Ning and personally lead the troops to kill Li Hantian. At that time, he had decided that he would personally kill this Hu'er, Li Hen Tian, so that Ji Tian Ning would never have anything to do with him again.

The arrow that had shot into Hateful Sky's heart had been personally shot by him. He had finally killed his love rival with his own hands. However, at that time, there wasn't a single trace of joy in his heart, only endless disappointment.

Only now did he understand that even though Hateful Heaven had died, he was still living in Ji Tian Ning's heart. He no longer had the ability to drive Hateful Heaven out of her heart.

"How dare you speak up in front of me."

With a kick, Le Tian's body was sent flying. He flipped and fell onto the ground, his shoulder faintly aching. He didn't want to kick Le Tian to death. After all, Ji Tian Ning still needed someone to take care of her, and he also knew that if he killed Le Tian, Ji Tian Ning would hate him even more.

He couldn't suppress the killing intent in his heart. He stared at Le Tian with a gaze filled with killing intent.

Le Tian's heart trembled. He knew very well that every time the Fire Inverted Scale of Flames appeared, there would be people executed. Perhaps this time, it was time for him to be executed.

He was already prepared to die. After escaping from the palace, he understood that if he were to be discovered, only death awaited him. He was already very surprised that he hadn't been killed immediately after being captured by the reverse scale.

Slowly getting up and once again kneeling on the ground, he lowered his head and did not speak. He had no intention of begging for mercy, and he also knew that begging in front of this cold-blooded Emperor Huo Ni was useless.
