Ji Tian Ning was very vexed. Many news that came from deep within the palace had been deliberately sealed by Huo Ni Lin. She wanted to pass on some information to Shang Qiuyuan; it was simply too difficult.

After her conversation with Huo Ni Lin, as well as the deaths of Gong Huan Feng and her child, she understood that something big was going to happen soon. However, she could only find out from her analysis that the little devil Huo Ni Lin was going to die together with the great devil King.

"Who will be the winner?"

"You can't be that good father who resides side by side with me, or else my child's little life might be lost."

For the sake of her unborn child, she didn't want Gong Tianyi to win. Huo Ni Lin wouldn't suspect the father of her child, but it was different. Even if he suspected her, he definitely wouldn't allow her to have a child.

Moreover, if Gong Huan Feng died, Gong Jiu Jiu would definitely vent his anger on her.

"What a headache. Can't we sit down and have a good talk and settle the issue peacefully?"

Ji Tian Ning sighed. He understood that this matter could not be resolved through sitting down and negotiating. The death of Gong Huanfeng and his son was the final trigger.

A deep smile formed on his face as he smiled. Looking at his smile in the mirror, Ji Tian Ning made a face. This smile actually had a hint of the smile of someone from the Nine Heavens Palace.

She had a good talk with Wu De once more and also found out some secrets. If she could use these secrets for herself, then she could undoubtedly take control of the change in the situation, or change the situation.

"Men, send Wude to see me."

Someone had passed down the teachings to Wude. Ji Tian Ning had passed them down five times today. Wude wanted to cry but had no tears. What was this empress who was about to become the empress? If this continued, it would definitely arouse the Emperor's suspicion.

"Empress, this servant has truly admitted everything. There is nothing more to say."

Wude knelt on the ground, looking at the poisonous bugs in the bottles and some unknown weird herbs, he felt a chill down his spine.

He had even told the truth about the hidden guards, just missing the fact that he had peed at the reverse scale a few times when he was young.

Ji Tian Ning was in a very good mood as she looked down upon the five virtues kneeling at her feet. On the journey from Fengyuan to Nanke, she had been slowly taking things out of the five virtues' mouths little by little. This information and information was slowly becoming more important, and never important.

Up till now, what she wanted were the top secret techniques that could put a person to death. It was the same as the ones that Fifth De had secretly written on the ground.

Wude looked at Ji Tian Ning in despair. At this moment, Ji Tian Ning with her makeup on, in his eyes, was just a living b * tch and witch that wanted to cut him open and take out the last bit of loyalty and secret from his heart.

"Empress, this servant really isn't clear about the matter of the Dark Guard. This servant isn't in charge of it. Please enlighten me."

Ji Tian Ning looked at Wu De. He was still far from being able to play psychological tactics on Wu De. This old fox had finally been tricked by her to the point where he couldn't escape anymore.

Using her initial secret to lure Wude, and finally, Wude lost a thousand times and had to yield to revealing the secret, the one she paid the most attention to was of course the hidden guard.

She remembered once she did surgery on a mysterious man in black in the harem, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that she thought about it, the person that had asked her to perform this technique was the most important person in the dark guard, possibly the leader.

"Plop …"

A man in black fell to the ground, staring at Wu De with his faint eyes. He wanted to get up powerlessly, but he was powerless and couldn't say a word.

"Wude, you can leave now."

A trace of killing intent flashed in Wu De's eyes. His words had been overheard by the emperor's secret guard. Those words were enough to take his life.

A glint flashed across Ji Tian Ning's eyes. "Wu De, go and restrain him. Don't kill him."

Wude De stood up and walked up to the shadow guard, his heart filled with shock. Ji Tian Ning was able to force the shadow guard to fall onto the ground without any ability to resist. He believed that falling into the hands of this sinful Empress was even more tragic than falling into his hands.

The hidden guards lay on the ground. They were always hidden in the dark and would not reveal their faces. They also wore a thin mask on their faces. Only in front of the reverse fire scale or in front of their heads would they reveal their true appearances.

Walking in the darkness of the night, carrying out the most secret mission, quietly surviving and silently dying.

Wude approached the dark guard, alert, this was the first time he directly faced the dark guard. He kicked out with a speed as fast as lightning. He wanted to shilling the person for being unable to resist before he would capture him.

The Dark Guard rolled away and charged towards Ji Tian Ning's direction. Wu De was even faster. His hands moved behind his back like a phantom as he moved towards the Dark Guard's back.

The dark guard's body fell down in front of him, with a muffled groan, his muscles shook, and Wude took the opportunity to kick the dark guard's ribs. The dark guards no longer had the ability to resist, and were tied up by the five merits.

Wu De threw the shadow guard at Ji Tian Ning's feet. He really wanted to take off the mask on the shadow guard's face to see his appearance, but in the end, he resisted his curiosity.

"Wude, you can leave now."

Wu De bowed and left. He secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the matter of him surreptitiously surrendering to Ji Tian Ning was not exposed, that would be enough.

"Empress, be extra careful in the future. Since the emperor has sent out dark guards to protect the Empress, she needs to be careful in her words and actions."

"I understand. Just do what I told you to do."

The shadow guard watched as Wu De left. "Empress, this subject was sent by the Emperor to protect the Empress. How could the Empress be able to face the Emperor in such a manner?"

"I only need to be sorry for myself. You'd better be careful of your own life."

"Empress, this subject has no ill intentions against the Empress. This subject will never report to the Emperor on the conversation between the Empress and the steward."

"I heard that the dark guards are only responsible for the emperor, and only the emperor is loyal. Why would they believe that you would betray the emperor?"

"This subject does not dare to betray His Majesty, but this subject has been saved by the Empress. This subject does not dare to forget."

"What a coincidence, it's actually you. What's your position in the dark guard?"

The shadow guard smiled bitterly, "This official is the right commander of the dark guards, Diao Zang. Because the Empress has spoken to the steward in secret several times, this subject was probably discovered by the Emperor, so he personally came to protect the Empress. The Emperor ordered his subjects to protect the Empress in secret and to not slack off day and night. "

"So you've seen too many things you shouldn't have heard, shouldn't have seen. Do you understand? That is, do not listen to impolite words and do not treat impolite words. I have forgotten that the hidden guards are originally the ones who are not allowed to do such things. "

"Empress, please forgive me. This subject only wants to personally protect the Empress, so that the Empress won't interact too much with the steward and let others know."

"So you're going to hide it for me?"

"This subject knows that he should not hide this from His Majesty, but this subject dares not forget the Empress's kindness in saving his life. "Empress, the emperor dotes on the Empress so much. As the empress, she knows what to do."

"What should I do?"

"The Empress will become the Empress of the Southern Champion sooner or later. Why would she have to take part in military affairs? The harem must not interfere or else it would be a capital offense. "With the Empress' wisdom, as long as the Holy Orb does not decline, then who in the harem can contend against the Empress?"

"Canon, you are wrong. You have followed the Emperor for so many years, yet you are unable to clearly see the situation of the Southern Champion? I did this because I wanted to help the Emperor. Of course, it was also to protect myself and the prince in my womb. The Emperor's injuries have yet to recover, and his condition is getting worse every day. The only way I can help the Emperor is to grasp the power to protect myself. "

"Empress …"

Dian Cang looked at Ji Tian Ning in astonishment. "The Empress wants to become the future palace and take part in the political and military affairs of the imperial court. You absolutely cannot. If the Emperor finds out, he will punish the Empress, and the gains will not make up for the losses."

"They say the imperial harem is not allowed to interfere. Do you dare to say that everything that happened in Zhaoyang Hall today wasn't arranged by the empress dowager?" Do you dare to say that the empress dowager wasn't secretly controlling the imperial government when the emperor left the Southern Champion Kingdom? "

"Esteemed Empress knows, but …"

"There are no buts. My current situation is similar to the one before the empress dowager. You should know the current situation of the emperor as well. If anything were to go wrong with the emperor, who would I rely on?"

"Empress, this subject understands. I assure the Empress that this subject will not let the emperor know of the Empress's matters."

"It's not enough. The Book Reserve is far from enough. The heavens are about to change. I want to make sure the Emperor wins. "As for you, you can only choose to stand by my side and do your best to serve me."

"This …"

Ji Tian Ning remained silent as an enchanting smile hung on her lips. She believed that Ksitigarbha would understand the power behind it. Today, there were only two choices left to the treasure trove. To swear loyalty to her or to die.

Now that she revealed her secret conversation with Wu De to him, no matter how much the scripture promised, she couldn't be at ease. After all, the Book Reserve had been the leader of the Fiery-Scaled Beast's secret guards for many years, and its loyalty to the Fiery-Scaled Beast was unquestionable.

"Canon, if you do this, you will be loyal to the Emperor, loyal to the future Crown Prince."

Ksitigarbha raised his eyes to look at Ji Tian Ning's bulging abdomen. He knew that there were only two choices today, and no one knew the condition of the reverse scale more clearly than him.

"This subject is willing to go through fire and water for the Empress, and will not refuse at all."

"Choose to be loyal to me. You must be absolutely loyal to me. You are not allowed to reveal my matter to the emperor. You and I are the only ones who know everything I want you to do."

"This subject understands that as long as Empress is determined to help His Majesty, this subject will comply with Empress's orders."

Ji Tian Ning squatted in front of Dian Cang and stuffed the medicinal powder that carried a strange fragrance into its mouth. She then placed a cup of water next to its mouth and said, "You should know that I am not an ordinary person and that I am the only one in this world who can cure the voodoo toxin. If you betray me, the voodoo toxin will act up and your body will slowly fester and you will die from the pain. When the voodoo toxin flares up, you will be delirious and do the same thing that happened to the emperor, implicating your entire family. "Of course, as long as you remain loyal to me, I will naturally give you the antidote in the future, or cure you of the voodoo toxin."

Dian Cang's body trembled. He forcefully suppressed his pain as his entire body was drenched in sweat.

He didn't know what Ji Tian Ning did to make him fall to the ground, nor did he know what bit him in the darkness just now that made him feel such pain.

In some dark corners, there was a sickening 'rustle' sound. Ji Tian Ning drank the water in her hands with reverence in her heart, but discovered that the pain in her body was gradually lessening.

Ji Tian Ning waved her hand. A cold light flashed through her hand. The ropes on Dian Zang's body loosened. She turned her head to see what Dian Zu's actions were. Even Wude didn't notice that he was hiding in the dark.

Feeling his strength gradually turn back, the pain lessened, and Diao Zang stood up, shaking off the rope around his body before kneeling to the ground once more. "This official is the right commander of the Dark Guard, Diao Zang. I pay my respects to the Empress, and am willing to die for the Empress."

He had chosen to be loyal to Ji Tian Ning, not only because Ji Tian Ning had saved his life, but also because Ji Tian Ning had made him feel extreme reverence.

After calculating for a moment, he understood that he had no other choice. No matter what happened to the Fiery-Scaled Tiger, after the empress and prince were killed, his life would be hanging by a thread. Knowing and participating in too many royal secrets, his future fate was to be secretly killed, born in the dark, died in the dark.

The Southern Champion was about to undergo a drastic change, and the imperial harem of the future Southern Champion was in the hands of this Empress. He knew that Ji Tian Ning was benevolent and benevolent, and the prince in his stomach was the future emperor.
