"Father has asked about you several times, and I plan to propose to him in the next few days, begging him to betroth you to me."

"There's no need for that. I don't care if you're famous or not. It's not appropriate for you to do so."

"I heard that the Emperor wanted to return to the Ancestor Dragon to recuperate, and had even asked Royal Father to bring you there several times, saying that he wanted to personally bestow the title upon you. He even said that he wanted to take you back to the Southern Champion City on the way and return you to the Prince Mansion. "

Ji Tian Ning's heart tightened. What did the White Horse Emperor want to do?

"Father has already pushed it away. He said that you were young and weak and needed your care. Your body has always been weak and calm, so it would be inconvenient for you to go to the emperor."

"Does he know that I am with you now?"

"I don't know. Not long after you arrived here, I said that I would send you back. Royal Father has also sealed off your courtyard. No one is allowed to enter or leave as they please, and you will be guarded by his Iron Guard. "

"That's good."

Ji Tian Ning's heart skipped a beat. Was he going to leave Feng Rong and return to the Southern Champion Ancestor Dragon?

This time, they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers; it was difficult to see each other again. His injury, but has it healed a lot?

Shang Qiuyuan hugged Ji Tian Ning's waist, "Ning'er, it's getting late, rest early, don't be too tired. You don't have to worry about the emperor's departure to return to the Ancestor Dragon. I heard that the emperor's body is much better now, and can move around freely. "

"Mm, it's good that he's gone."

The two of them climbed onto the bed and Shang Qiuyuan embraced Ji Tian Ning. He would often accompany Ji Tian Ning like this, only hugging her to sleep instead.

"What's the situation in Fengyuan now?"

Ji Tian Ning would often ask Shang Qiuyuan about Feng Yuan's situation. Shang Qiuyuan explained the situation to her, and was very willing to bring up these matters to Ji Tian Ning. This was because he discovered that Ji Tian Ning was able to see through the complex nature of things and even give him advice.

"The situation is now set. Most of the war has subsided, and the Li people have returned to farming. The emperor also ordered the exemption of three years' taxes. From the Southern Champion came seeds and tools and other things to support the people's cultivation, not to let the fields be abandoned. Yun Meng is still confronting us, but facing the alliance of the three nations, they can't do anything either. "

"How is that idiot Second Prince?"

"Only he escaped to Yunmeng. He's just a puppet, nothing more."

"What about the Sixth Prince?"

"He is even a puppet, and has already stated that he is willing to become a subordinate state to the Southern Champion. Sooner or later, he will have to give up the throne. However, these matters are not for him to decide, nor are they for him to listen to. "

"Father has not ordered him to give up the throne. Could it be that he has some sort of plan?"

Shang Qiuyuan lightly kissed Ji Tian Ning's cheek. "Let your husband hear your analysis."

"I think, firstly, I still need to use the Sixth Prince as the new puppet to fight against the Second Prince. Secondly, Father didn't want to let the Emperor have all of Feng Yuan's benefits. Thus, he used this method to control Feng Yuan in his own hands. "

"Your analysis is correct. Even I have grown several times more powerful in Fengyuan. This was only the military strength on the surface, but the strength behind the scenes was far more than this. I have always kept the Sixth Prince in my hands. If anything happens in the future, Royal Father and I can continue to support this puppet and stabilize its condition. At that time, even the Emperor won't be able to do anything to us. "

Ji Tian Ning shook her head, "Father's heart is really big. Could it be that he wants to establish himself as emperor? Thus, Nanke and Fengyuan will once again start a war. "

"Royal Father might not have that intention, but if he did not have the corresponding authority to contend against the Emperor, how could he retain his current status and power? Furthermore, I heard that the empress is about to deliver herself. If she gives birth to a prince, Royal Father could use his authority to protect the empress's prince to be bestowed the title of crown prince.

"Aiya, I forgot. The empress should be giving birth soon. Considering the time we have come, it is also the time to give birth. If you didn't bring up this matter, I would have forgotten about it. "

"That's right. The emperor wanting to return to the throne is related to this matter. The empress is about to give birth to a prince, and this is the future crown prince of Nanke. How can he not return?" Moreover, going back would also help in recuperating and settling national affairs. "

Ji Tian Ning was silent for a moment before she reached into Shang Qiu Yuan's robes, "Are you going to stand by my father's side in the future?"

"Do I have any other choice? "If you want to protect yourself, you can only do so. If I stay in Fengyuan, no one can touch me. If you leave Fengyuan, I can only allow myself to be slaughtered by the Emperor."

"Are you going to stay here forever?"

"Don't forget, my title is Master Fengyuan, of course I will stay in Fengyuan. "This is my root. As long as I am in Fengyuan, I will be safe and have the ability to protect you and your son."

"If so, hehe, forget it, let's not talk about this."

Ji Tian Ning approached Shang Qiuyuan and kissed him.

"Ning'er, you're pregnant."

"So what? It's already been three months. If it were lighter, I wouldn't have minded."

"But I won't say it earlier. I've left you alone for so many times. Tonight, your husband will definitely punish you severely."

"You can't. You have to be gentle, and you can't ask for too much, like you did in the past. You have to know that I'm already pregnant, but I can't bear the torment you're asking for. Hmm …"

Shang Qiuyuan had blocked Ji Tian Ning. He had been holding Ji Tian Ning like this for too long. Once he received permission from Ji Tian Ning, he would know that he could do something, so he was not willing to let it go.

All the gentleness, all the tenderness, all the release at this moment, the unspeakable love, it had been two months since they had been together, the two of them had longed for it.

The next morning, when Ji Tianning woke up, Shang Qiuyuan had disappeared as usual. She was already used to it. No matter when Shang Qiuyuan accompanied her to sleep, when she woke up the next morning, he would originally not be by her side.

She also knew that Shang Qiuyuan had gone to train in martial arts, and she admired him in her heart. Within the five nations, who would practice martial arts like Shang Qiuyuan?

She got up and had breakfast. Then, she walked into the courtyard, wearing a large cloak. Although the weather was warm now, in order to cover her abdomen, she would also use a large cloak to cover her body when she came out.

"Empress, the Empress has always been well. This servant pays his respects to the Empress."

A silhouette wearing a military uniform hid among the trees, revealing half of his face as he bowed to Ji Tian Ning. It was noon, and the guards were slightly more relaxed.

Ji Tian Ning was stunned for a moment. Everyone under Shang Qiuyuan would call her 'Miss', but no one would call her that.

What entered his eyes was half a familiar face. He raised his head slightly, revealing a humble smile as he bowed to her. However, he still hid within the bushes and did not come out.

"Wu De!"

Ji Tian Ning almost shouted out in shock. Her heart was in turmoil. Why would Wu De appear here? How did he get in?

"It is indeed a servant. How is the Empress now?"

His gaze swept across Ji Tian Ning's delicate body. He discovered that Ji Tian Ning had become much more plump than before. Her face was as pink as peach blossoms in March. She was plump and beautiful like nothing he had ever seen before. That kind of gentleness was dazzling.

"Why are you here?"

"I snuck in secretly. Although it was a bit difficult, it's not impossible." A servant could not stay here for long. If he stayed for too long, he might be discovered by the Duke's men. Now that the emperor is about to return to his ancestral dragon, the emperor is worried about Empress. He specially ordered his servant to come here to see Empress. "

"Is he well?"

Ji Tian Ning reached out her hand to touch the blossoming flower. She did not make a sound to alarm Shang Qiuyuan's guards, as she did not want others to know that the Five De was here. She also knew that Wu De had no intention of harming her.

"Your majesty is much better now. Your majesty has asked this servant to tell the Empress that the words Your majesty once said will always be valid." This servant has come under orders to ask the Empress if she is willing to follow the Emperor back. "

Ji Tian Ning pondered but didn't say anything. He was the first who didn't expect the arrival of Wu De and the second who didn't expect Huo Ni Lin to confess again.

This place had once been said by Shang Qiuyuan as a place where absolutely nothing would happen. However, at this moment, the Eunuch's Eunuch who had the most trusted and trusted general Huo Ni Lin stood in front of him and was still asking her a question in a very leisurely manner.

"How did you get in?"

"Empress, this is not important. There are not many places that this servant cannot enter. Although the Great General's place was heavily guarded, it was not an iron bucket. There would always be a gap. The Empress may not know this, but this servant is also an expert.

Ji Tian Ning was silent. She knew that there would always be experts at the side of the reverse scale and the Shoulder King. Moreover, they would always be hiding in a dark place that no one would notice.

If the Five Desires could infiltrate this place secretly, Prince Charming might have sent someone to infiltrate here to find out that she was pregnant.

Thinking to this point, Ji Tian Ning's expression changed slightly. If she was confident in front of the reverse fire scale, then she wasn't confident in front of the palace that stood side by side for nine days.

She was confident in the Fiery Inverted Scale because she knew that it held feelings for her. Even if it was too domineering and arrogant, it was very important to her. It would make her jealous, angry, and unwilling to let her suffer any harm.

Although the thing that hurt her the most was the reverse scale itself, the White Horse Emperor did not allow anyone to harm her. It was as if he was protecting her within the palace of the rain and wind.

However, Gong Jiu was different. The reason why Gong Jiu doted on her was because she had a descendant in the palace. If not for this, she would have had to come into contact with the great benefits of the Nine Heavens Palace, and the Nine Heavens Palace would not have gone easy on her.

On this day, if the palace found out that she was pregnant and that the child in her womb was possibly made of fire, they would use all sorts of methods to make her lose the child in her womb.

She had no doubt about this. The palace's Illusory Phoenix could not bear children, and the imperial concubine was not allowed to have a son with the reverse scale of fire. Furthermore, the palace's Illusory Phoenix was about to be born soon, so there would not be any future problems.

His hand unconsciously rested on his abdomen. How could he protect this child and allow this child to be born and grow properly?

What sort of title should he give to this child? Only then would the child be able to grow and grow without any danger?

"Perhaps Qiuyuan can allow me to safely give birth to this child, but can he give this child a name and allow the child to grow up without encountering danger?"

Ji Tian Ning slightly lowered her eyes. The palace for nine days probably didn't know that she was pregnant. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have allowed her to continue to raise a baby so peacefully.

"What would he do if he knew about this?"

If Gong Jiu found out that she was pregnant and that she was hiding this matter from him, he would think that the child in her womb was a Fire Inverted Scale dragon seed and wouldn't allow this child to be born.

At that time, Shang Qiuyuan, wedged between the reverse scale of fire and the ninth day of the palace, would not be able to keep her and her son safe. Most importantly, because of this, Shang Qiuyuan would offend the reverse scale of fury and the two from the palace, and no matter which one of the two he angered, Shang Qiuyuan would have a hard time standing up.

"No, I can't interfere with his plans and plans. He's not alone, he still has a lot of warriors under his command. Once he leaves the support of the reverse scale and loses the support of the king, it would be very dangerous.

"Empress, you …"

Wu De finally realized that something was wrong. He stared at Ji Tian Ning's abdomen in shock. A chilling light flashed through his sleeves as he glared at Ji Tian Ning, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Only with true power can you protect the people you love and yourself."

This sentence flashed through Ji Tian Ning's mind. He also sensed the killing intent in Wu De's eyes.
