"Wu De?"

Ji Tian Ning was still silent, but he recognized the person as Wu De. Wu De, who had always been crafty and calm, why was he so flustered today?

His heart suddenly tightened. There was only one thing that could make Wude lose his composure like that.

Could something have happened to the reverse scale of fire? Impossible, how is this possible? It was said that the Duke of Hou had a much smaller number of subordinates than this, so how could anything happen to him?

Although this was what he thought, he still became nervous. If it weren't for the incident with the Fiery-Scaled Beast, Wu De definitely wouldn't have rushed all the way here.

"Esteemed Empress, esteemed Empress …"

Wu De kowtowed to the ground, and made loud noises. He fell silent, crawled on his knees a few steps, and pleaded, "Empress, please save Your Majesty. "Your Majesty, your Majesty …"

Ji Tian Ning's heart trembled. Had something happened to him? It was said that a general couldn't avoid being killed on the battlefield, so he wouldn't be …

He hastily stopped thinking about it. His bright eyes stared at Wu De. Was this the scheme of the White Horse Emperor, or was something really amiss?

"Empress, this servant begs the Empress. Your majesty, the Emperor was ambushed and heavily injured. Now that the emperor was unconscious, he beseeched the empress to follow this servant to treat the emperor. If the esteemed Empress didn't go, the emperor might …

Wude couldn't continue to talk as he panted. He changed to five of the best horses without stopping. He rushed to the entrance of the city and begged Ji Tian Ning to save the reverse fire scale.

He raised his head. His eyes were already filled with tears. The reverse scale couldn't die yet.

Ji Tian Ning remained silent as he stared at Wu De. He didn't seem to be lying. Because of the fierce kowtow just now, his forehead was already swollen, and blood was seeping out.

Wu De didn't even notice the wound on his forehead. He crawled forward a few steps, then looked at Ji Tian Ning with a sorrowful gaze. "Empress, this servant begs the Empress. Even if Your Majesty has done something inappropriately, I hope that the Empress will find the emperor's mind muddled and not bother with it any further. "If the esteemed Empress isn't willing to make a move, then I'm afraid the Emperor … the Emperor …"

Tears fell from Wu De's face and his body trembled slightly. He had been loyal to the reverse scale his entire life. To him, the reverse scale was a master that was much more important than his life.

"Esteemed Empress, I beg of the Empress to follow this servant and hurry over. If we're too late, I'm afraid the Emperor …"

Ji Tian Ning's heart tightened. If the reverse scale's injuries were this severe, then why did the crystal skull not show any abnormalities this time?

She put her fingers on the crystal skull and silently stroked the crystal skull. She closed her eyes and waited for the crystal skull to give her a hint.

He also understood that this hint and prediction was a sign of death. He silently prayed that the crystal skull would not have any reaction, otherwise, the White Horse Emperor might not be able to save him. However, she had to first confirm if there was anything wrong with the reverse fire scale.

The crystal skull showed no signs of activity. Ji Tian Ning heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that there was still hope for the Baima Emperor.

Seeing that Ji Tian Ning was resting with her eyes closed, Wu De was both anxious and frightened. When they arrived, the imperial doctors had already determined that the reverse scale's injuries were extremely serious. If Ji Tian Ning didn't arrive as soon as possible, her life would be in danger.

He understood what the royal doctors didn't dare to say. Even if the Fire Lin beast couldn't wait for Ji Tian Ning to arrive, he wouldn't give up even if there was still a sliver of hope. He had to try his best.

"Esteemed Empress, I beg of you, please follow me on the road."

"Bang, bang, bang …"

He kowtowed once again. He did not dare to use force. If Ji Tian Ning was not willing to do anything, it would be useless even if he grabbed Ji Tian Ning. Now, he could only bitterly beg, sighing in his heart. If the Emperor hadn't killed that Hu'er, there wouldn't be such a day.

Ji Tian Ning stood up. She still couldn't calm down. Without personally seeing the reverse fire scale, her heart wouldn't be able to rest at ease in the end.

Wu De was overjoyed. He hurriedly rose to serve Ji Tian Ning as he said carefully, "Empress, His Majesty's injuries are severe and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long. May the Empress abandon her carriage and ride on the horse as soon as possible?"

Ji Tian Ning frowned. Her riding skills were lacking, so there was no need to fly.

Wu De sighed. "I'll let this servant lead this lady on a horse for a while. We can hurry over like this, but the horse carriage can't stand up to such a bumpy ride."

Ji Tian Ning nodded her head. She didn't mind being on the same horse as Wu De. Moreover, Wu De was a eunuch, so there was nothing to worry about.

"In that case, allow the Empress to continue her journey. It was only on the way that this servant reported the situation to the Empress."

Ji Tian Ning sat behind Wu De and hugged his waist. She definitely wouldn't be in front of him being blown away by the cold wind.

Along the way, Wu De briefly described how the Fiery-Scaled Tiger had been injured, and its current injuries. When Ji Tian Ning heard that the reverse scale's injuries were so severe that all the royal doctors and military doctors were helpless against it, she couldn't help but frown.

It would take at least a few hours for a fast horse to reach the place where the reverse scale had been injured. She was also worried that there would be changes to the reverse scale's injuries.

On the way, Wu De changed his horse five times, and didn't dare to stop for even a second to maintain his flying speed.

Because he couldn't give the enemy an opportunity, Han Xing heard from Wu De that the emperor's injuries were serious, but he still had to surround Zhu Ge City, making it impossible for the enemy to guess.

When the sun rose, Wude finally brought Ji Tian Ning to the scene of the accident. He was alarmed and wondered if there were any changes to the reverse scale's injuries. Ji Tian Ning hurriedly dismounted the horse in front of the Fire Inverted Scales' tent and invited Ji Tian Ning in.

Entering the tent, Ji Tian Ning saw Nan Feng lying on a couch at the side, An Ling Qing Lan was constantly walking back and forth in the tent.

"This subject pays his respect to the Empress."

Seeing Ji Tian Ning walk in, An Ling Qinglan hastily went forward and knelt on one knee to pay her respects. At this moment, she didn't dare to be impolite in the slightest.

Ji Tian Ning ignored the An Ling Cyan Mist. He saw the blood-stained Fire Inverted Scales and the smell of blood drifting from within the tent. She quickly walked over.

The Fire Reversal Scale was still lying on the ground. The imperial physician did not dare to move it. Fortunately, under the Fire Reversal Scale's body, there was a layer of fur. However, the accumulated snow and ice around him was extremely cold.

"Greetings to the Empress, please treat the Emperor as soon as possible."

Seeing Ji Tian Ning's arrival, the two imperial doctors and the military doctor both let out a sigh of relief. Although Huo Ni Lin's breathing was weak, he was still alive. They all believed that as long as the legendary Godly Doctor and Witch Concubine arrived, the emperor would be safe and sound.

A face as pale as paper, without the slightest trace of blood, and a mouth as sallow as wax showed that it had lost too much blood. The fox fur coat under his body had already been dyed red by his blood, and his extremely weak breathing made it seem as if he was barely breathing.

Her sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if she was suffering from extreme pain. Her body was bandaged up to the left and right layers like a mummy.

"How are your injuries?"

Ji Tian Ning squatted down and placed her hand on the reverse scale's wrist. After so many days, she finally said the first sentence. The five of them looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

"Reporting to the Empress, this humble subject has already used the ice treatment the Empress has mentioned to temporarily control the emperor's injuries. "The Emperor has been struck by seven crossbow arrows, all of them extremely deep. Three of them have been shot into the depths of the Emperor's dragon body. This subject is powerless."

The imperial physician hurriedly explained the situation of the fire reverse scale injury. He explained in detail that each of the injuries had been caused by seven crossbow bolts, and that the injuries on the four limbs were not too serious. The imperial physician had already dealt with them, and only the three injuries, the imperial physician and the military physician, were helpless.

"Clean up the snow and ice. Open his bandages."

He had already opened his backpack and taken out the items that he needed to store in the surrounding area.

The imperial physicians and military doctors were extremely excited. They wished for nothing more than to be able to witness Ji Tian Ning's technique. He quickly cleaned up the area, slowly opened the bandage on the reverse scale, and removed the ice bag.

Even after the bandage had been removed, there were still three crossbow bolts sticking out of the deep wound on his body. The imperial doctors didn't dare to pull out the crossbow arrows because if they pulled it out easily, it would result in the Fire Reversal Scale Injury causing heavy injuries and death.

Ji Tian Ning carefully checked the location of the crossbow arrows to determine how bad the injury was. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she finally understood how serious the injury on the reverse scale was. If it wasn't for her here, the reverse fire scale wouldn't have been able to last much longer.

"Ice compress treatment, well done."

She also understood that if she hadn't taught the imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital the Ice Coating Method, the Fire Reversal Scale would not have been able to wait for her to arrive even if these two imperial physicians had used this method. He stretched his cold and stiff hands, making himself more nimble.

"Light the charcoal."

Some people hastily followed Ji Tian Ning's instructions and prepared everything. At this moment, even Wude and An Ling Qing Lan didn't dare to say a single word as they respectfully stood at the side. They knew that all their hopes lay in Ji Tian Ning's hands.

Ji Tian Ning placed her hand on the charcoal fire and roasted it, eliminating the stiffness caused by the coldness. She looked back at Wude and An Ling, the Blue Mist.

The two hastily bowed. "May I ask what Empress has instructed?"

"His injuries are very serious. His internal organs have been injured. Only surgery is needed to save his life."

"In that case, I ask for Your Highness's assistance. If Your Highness has any orders, I, your servant, will definitely accomplish it."

There was a cold smile on her face, a charming and mysterious curve at the corners of her purplish-blue mouth, and her purple eyes, with their strange patterns and splendor, were glued to her pupils. The green-blue eye shadow and blue eyelashes gave her a mysterious witch's aura.

An Lun's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. Such a mysterious and seductive woman had an irresistible attraction to men.

"Any orders?"

Wude was shocked, he hastily bowed and said, "This servant has no right to let the Empress go."

Ji Tian Ning pulled over a chair and quietly sat down. She began to close her eyes to rest, no longer paying attention to the Wu De and An Ling Azure Mist. As a result of igniting the charcoal, the temperature in the tent rose, and blood began to seep out from the reverse scale of the fire once more.

Wu De and An Ling were anxious. They hastily bowed and said, "Empress, please use your skills. Please save the Emperor as soon as possible. If you are too late, I'm afraid the Emperor will be in danger."

Ji Tian Ning still had her eyes closed, unmoving. Her blue eyelashes cast a mysterious shadow on her greenish-blue eyelids. She was not anxious. She believed that there would be more people with An Ling, Qinglan, Wu De, and more people who were more anxious than her. It might be her only chance, her only chance to make a condition and let her go.

"Empress, I beg of you to cast a spell."

Wu De and An Ling looked at each other and knelt on the ground at the same time.

"If you want me to save him, then let me go after my surgery. Otherwise, don't mention it!"
