"Get up."

Dian Zang stood up, standing respectfully by Ji Tian Ning's side.

"The Emperor is going to make a move against King Shoulder. Do you know the detailed plan?"

Dian Zang bowed. "Your Highness, this subject isn't too clear. When Your Majesty and the empress dowager are plotting against each other, this subject isn't allowed to wait by your side."

"I think he will summon back the King, shoulder to shoulder. Only here will he have the confidence to win. "Keep an eye on the Emperor and Her Majesty. If you hear anything, report it immediately. I want to know their plans."

"Understood."

A cold smile formed on Ji Tian Ning's lips, revealing his charm. The Southern Champion was about to change, who was the victor? If she was given a choice, what method would she use to deal with Shoulder King? Only then would she have the greatest chance of winning?

"Esteemed Empress, may I ask how the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty think of restraining the king by his side?"

Ji Tian Ning gently tapped the ground with the tip of her foot. "Only here would they have the most confidence to win. Tomorrow, there will be an astonishing change and edict. From now on, you must always pay attention to everything that is happening. "

"Yes, this subject will help the Empress deliver the news in time."

"Go."

Watching the scripture disappear into the dark night, her hand quietly clenched in her sleeve, her own fate in her own hands, she would no longer naively be a spectator, because she had long been deeply immersed in it.

"Qiuyuan, the day you return won't be too far away. I'll wait for you here."

The next day, before Ji Tian Ning had woken up, in the early hours of the morning, a faint voice could be heard coming from outside the window.

Ji Tian Ning suddenly woke up and hastily went to the window.

"Esteemed Empress, just now the emperor passed away from illness. The empress dowager is already in the emperor's chambers, preparing an imperial decree to summon back the king to discuss military matters."

Ji Tian Ning's heart chilled. "The emperor and the empress dowager have decided on a plan. Only in this way will we be able to make the king shoulder to shoulder."

"The Empress is wise and wise. This subject shall take his leave."

After Ksitigarbha left, Ji Tian Ning was no longer able to sleep, so he put on his clothes. A short while later, a young eunuch quietly passed on the news of the emperor's death to her.

"Wude, consider yourself smart."

The palace was in chaos. News of the emperor's death began to spread throughout the palace. Although very few people knew about it, there were still people who knew about such a major event.

Her Majesty ordered the palace to be closed, and summoned several ministers to the palace. At the same time, she also issued a secret decree calling for the palace to stand shoulder to shoulder for nine days before returning to the Imperial Court for a meeting.

The empress dowager hadn't even told Ji Tian Ning of the emperor's death, nor had she given him the information. Only, the empress dowager and Huo Ni Lin didn't know that the information had already been delivered to the palace in an endless stream.

"Good plan, recall the king with the news of his majesty's death and bestow him with the title of Regent. Even if the king has any doubts, he will definitely return. As long as we enter the palace, he will be trapped. It will be hard to get out. "

Wu De said worriedly, "The side is a strong side, every time you enter the palace you will have guards with you, and the guards beside the prince are all masters among experts. Even in the presence of the Emperor, the Prince's guards will not be far away. This is the Emperor's privilege. "

"If the emperor can't even handle a few guards, then the emperor isn't the emperor, and the empress dowager isn't the empress dowager either. A few days ago the emperor even asked me for some medicine, so it must be used to deal with the two bodyguards."

The corner of Wu De's eyes twitched a few times. "In the Empress' opinion, what are the odds of winning this plan?"

"Seventy percent."

"How can the Empress be so confident?"

"With an ulterior motive, the empress dowager and the emperor have already been planning for too long. They will definitely arrange everything properly. Although the Shoulder King wasn't completely defenseless, he couldn't forget that this was the imperial palace. He couldn't bring too many people into the palace. "Besides, there's still the medicine the emperor asked me for. When the emperor and the empress dowager make their moves, they won't leave any leeway left. You all, along with the guards and those experts, King Shun only has a few people, after all."

"The Empress does not know the Prince's martial arts. The Prince's martial arts have already reached the pinnacle of perfection. He could be called the number one expert of the Southern Champion Kingdom."

"It's a pity that the people around the Emperor aren't ordinary people. There's also my medicine."

"What are the effects of the Empress's medicine?"

A charming smile appeared on Ji Tian Ning's face as he stared at Wu De. "This is what the empress dowager and emperor want to know, right?"

Wu De hastily kneeled on the ground. "There's nothing that can be hidden from the esteemed empress. Indeed, it was the empress dowager who sent this servant to ask. Please forgive me, esteemed lady."

"Wude, I don't want you to hide anything from me in the future, do you understand?"

"This servant doesn't dare. This servant was just about to report to the Empress, but the Empress said so first."

"Go back and tell the empress dowager and the emperor that I can provide some medicine and strategy, but I will not leave this place to go to the Hongmeng Palace. I will participate in this plan."

"Why must the Empress do this? It must be known that this is very dangerous. The Empress only needs to provide tactics and medicine. Please don't forget that the Empress still has a prince in her womb."

"I won't put myself in danger. There are some things that only His Majesty and the empress dowager can promise me. You can pass on my words."

The scripture appeared in front of Ji Tian Ning.

"Send someone to do something for me. Send this piece of white silk to Shang Qiuyuan."

The empress dowager used a secret decree to summon the palace, shoulder to shoulder, to return to court nine days later, and conferred the title of Regent.

This matter was extremely secretive, and only a few people knew of it. Right now, the Fiery-Scaled Tiger and the empress dowager were discussing it in the secret room, hoping that nothing could go wrong. If anything went wrong, the only ones to die would be them and the empress dowager.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Empress said that she could provide tactics and medicine, but she will have to participate in this plan. She won't leave the palace to go to the Hongmeng Palace."

"Wude, you dare to reveal your secret?"

Killing intent appeared in the empress dowager's bewitching eyes. Wude quickly kneeled to the ground. "Esteemed empress dowager, how could this servant reveal such a secret to esteemed empress dowager? It's just that I don't know how she found out about this." "The Empress also knows about the matters of the Zhaoyang Palace. The Empress has the ability to predict the future, and the emperor knows this very well."

"Imperial Mother, Wude is right. She once predicted that your son's first prince would die. That time, your son was killed, and she was the one who informed your son beforehand. Only then can your son be stopped."

"Prophecy? "You truly are a sinner. My son, you cannot let this girl live."

"Don't forget, mother, that she already has this son's prince in her heart. Besides, this son of mine would not be able to live past today without her. It doesn't matter if she's a sinner or a witch, if she can save me and help Southern Champion get rid of the Shoulder King, then this son will see her as the best choice. "

The empress dowager was silent for a long time. "Does my son really want her to participate in the plan? Don't forget, she is, after all, the foster daughter of the King. "

"Your son is also the son-in-law of the King, while Shang Qiuyuan is still the son of the King. Your son remembers that she once said, 'There is no eternal friend, only eternal benefit'. If we lose, she would also lose her life and the child in her womb. "

"Since that's the case, then you can bring her here, Wude. She already knows about the matter, so the only way to get her involved is to get her involved in it."

"Perhaps, she has the confidence to get rid of him. Although we have made complete preparations, I am still not confident."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "I hope she has complete confidence, or else this last plan will cause the Southern Champion to change direction. My son, right now we have no way out. Only by killing the Shoulder King will you be able to stabilize the throne. Has she not thought of a way to cure me? "

"I want to wait until she gives birth to a prince, then I'll have her cast a spell to treat my son. This illness can't be delayed any longer, and I've been in a trance lately."

"Sure."

The empress dowager lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a butterfly. She had already decided in her heart that she would eliminate this wicked concubine after Ji Tian Ning gave birth and was going to heal the Fiery Inverted Scale.

The Book Reserve had sent people to send the white silk Ji Tian Ning had given him to Fengyuan, thus allowing Shang Qiuyuan to learn the most secret information and make preparations in advance.

The battle between the reverse scale and the shoulder king was not something they could stop. They could only wait and see who would be the final victor.

Ji Tian Ning entered the secret room without saluting her. She smiled alluringly as she said, "Is the empress dowager and emperor finally going to make a move?" "This matter can't be ignored by me."

"What ingenious plan does a concubine have?"

"Everyone has their weakness, including the King Shoulder Emperor and his imperial bodyguards. Right now, I want to know what plans the empress dowager and the emperor have set up."

"Aren't you able to foresee it? How could they not know the plans set by This Dowager and the Emperor? "

"I am not a deity. When the empress dowager and the emperor made their plans, I was not in the Southern Champion City."

This is my mother's and father's plan. In the name of my death, we summoned side by side to join the imperial court, and first, we conferred the title of regent side to side with the Prime Minister, the Southern Champion Kingdom, in order to lure them into our ranks. "

"In addition, the Queen has already given birth to a prince. She wants to establish him as the new king and use her feelings to move him."

"My beloved concubine is indeed intelligent. No matter if Prince Jian has any doubts or not, he will always return. As long as he enters the harem, there are some things that cannot be left to him."

He recounted his plan to Ji Tian Ning in detail. The power he had accumulated over the past nine days was too deep, so even though he and the empress dowager had already made their plans long ago, their hearts were still filled with unease. They didn't know if they would win this final battle.

"Ning'er, take a look at our chances of victory. Since you have a divine technique to predict the future, can you predict whether we'll be able to successfully get rid of the King?"

Ji Tian Ning merely smiled flirtatiously and did not reply.

She wanted to know the results more than anyone else, but after triggering the crystal skull on her neck multiple times, it did not have any hints. It was as if the crystal skull had lost its effectiveness and had become a mere ornament.

Therefore, she could only pretend to be profound and say, "Destiny cannot be revealed. The most important thing is that the empress dowager and the emperor no longer have a way out. They can only move forward and not retreat. The death of the Empress and the prince cannot be concealed for long, and I will lend the Emperor a helping hand. However, I also have a request. "

"What are the requirements for a concubine? "With this success, my beloved concubine is my queen, and my beloved concubine's prince is the crown prince. I've already promised long ago that my beloved concubine is still not satisfied?"

Ji Tian Ning chuckled, "What I want is the life of Gong Jiu. Hand him over to me."

Killing intent flashed through the empress dowager's eyes. In an instant, they had restored their benevolence. "The king can't leave a king by his side. If this person doesn't die, he'll definitely be a disaster."
