Because the empress dowager was worried about the Fire Reversal Scale's injuries, she hastily took care of the aftermath and personally came to the palace to check on its injuries.

At this moment, Ji Tian Ning was in the operating room, which she hadn't completely cleaned up, performing an operation on Huo Ni Lin.

Thankfully, two of the Dark Guards managed to block a sword attack for Huo Bu Lin. The sword didn't pierce deep into the heart, but a wound had already appeared on the chest. Fresh blood continued to pour out.

Ji Tian Ning was the first to stop the bleeding from the reverse scale. Due to the fact that the blood of the Baima Emperor was too rare, it would be inappropriate for her to continue to transfusion blood for the reverse scale.

First, he had to use the meridian injection technique to stop the bleeding of the reverse scale. Although the sword had not penetrated too deep, the sword qi had injured the internal organs of the reverse scale, and it was not something that could be treated in a short period of time.

The reverse fire scale was as white as paper and it was lying unconscious on the operating table. Ji Tian Ning could only sew up the wound and let it heal. As a result, the internal injuries would be slowly healed.

"How is the emperor's injury?"

The empress dowager hurried over, worried, and with the King's death shoulder to shoulder, she no longer had to worry about being humiliated by the palace.

When he saw the corpse of the Nine Heavens Palace, there was an indescribable happiness in his heart. In addition to that, there was also an indescribable sense of loss. The nine heavens of the palace was the devil in her heart. Regardless of life or death, it revolved around her heart.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, the empress is currently casting spells inside, ordering that no one is to disturb her."

"How dare you! Is it a big inconvenience for This Dowager to go in and see the Emperor?"

"Is it the Empress Dowager?"

Ji Tian Ning's cold voice rang out as an enchanting smile appeared on her face. She was waiting for the empress dowager.

"That's me. How is the emperor's injury?"

"May the empress dowager come in to speak. No one else is allowed to enter, I'm currently casting spells on the emperor."

The empress dowager hesitated for a moment. Thinking that this was the Forbidden Palace and that Ji Tian Ning could not do anything about it by herself, she instructed the rest to wait outside and entered the operation room by herself.

At this moment, Ji Tian Ning was sewing the last needle. The empress dowager could see that the reverse fire scale was still breathing. Although its breathing was a little weak, it was still alive. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

His gaze fell on Ji Tian Ning. She was wearing makeup, her hair was dyed purple, and her entire body was emitting a bewitching and mysterious aura. It was as if she wasn't everything in the mortal world. Her long blue eyelashes left a shadow on her eyelids. Her wings flapped as if she was about to fly away.

"Sin, he really is a sinner. This woman can't be left alive. Wait until she gives birth to her child, This Dowager will definitely get rid of her!"

A cold light flashed through the empress dowager's eyes, which then turned into a look of worry. "Ning'er, you're pregnant right now, so you need to pay more attention to your body. Why did you run over? If that traitor, Gong Jiu Tian, were to hurt you, I wouldn't know how to feel heartache."

Ji Tian Ning cut the thread in her hand. With a mocking smile, she drew a cold and charming arc on her lips. "When I was about to be sent to the execution platform, I guess the empress dowager's heart is as good as new. Does Her Majesty think I don't know what Her Majesty thinks? Don't forget who I am. I know what's on your mind. "

The empress dowager's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal. "Ning'er is still as mischievous as ever. You must know that in the future, you will be the empress of the Southern Champion and act like one."

"You won't give me the chance to be a queen. When a child is born, after I perform surgery on the emperor, that will be when I die. You don't need to act in front of me, because I can see through your heart, the thoughts in your heart. "

The empress dowager's face turned cold as she stared darkly at Ji Tian Ning. "You are indeed a sinner. Just who are you? Was she a witch from the Barbarians, or was she a villain from somewhere? What are you doing here in my Southern Champion Kingdom? "

"There is nothing in this world that troubles the mediocre. I am a person who is free and at leisure. I do not wish to have the right to be rich, but I cannot do anything about it. He has provoked me. Since you all want to harm me time and time again, I cannot let you do as you please. It is just that at this moment, I do not have the time and energy to talk about this with you. "

Her Majesty retreated in alarm, wanting to leave the operating room, but she did not notice that the operating room had always had a faint, strange smell.

His body went limp and his eyes widened. "You …"

Her voice was so weak that even she could barely hear it. Ji Tian Ning shook his head as a mocking smile appeared on his face. "You're too tired. You should rest well."

The empress dowager's eyes widened, unable to speak or move. Ji Tian Ning slowly took out the imperial seal from beside the fire reverse scale. "With this, I can issue an imperial decree in place of the emperor. Empress Dowager can rest assured that I will take care of the country's affairs. You can rest well here."

His vision gradually turned hazy. In the end, only Ji Tian Ning could be heard exclaiming, "Empress Dowager …"

"Someone, the empress dowager fainted due to the shock. Quickly, someone put the empress dowager on the bed."

Two eunuchs came in and lifted the empress dowager onto the bed. Ji Tian Ning worriedly helped the empress dowager consume the medicine. "The empress dowager is exhausted. She wants to rest well here. You can leave."

When he walked out of the operation room, he saw Wu De standing not far from the door, waiting respectfully for her orders. In the distant shadows, Dian Zang's bright eyes followed her.

"Wu De, there's no one that's not allowed in or out of this place. The people that the empress dowager brought over are to rest here temporarily. Do you understand?"

"This servant understands. Please be at ease, Empress."

Ji Tian Ning walked to Dian Zu's side and said, "Surveillance and control of the people in the palace are essential. Bring a few of your men with you."

"Understood."

Only when the sky was bright did the slaughter stop in the Ancestral Dragon City. Ji Tian Ning had given the order in the name of the Fire Inverted Scales to stop. However, it was already too late. Too many people had already been captured or killed.

Ji Tian Ning was a little tired as she sat in the imperial study, looking at the ministers that were summoned. Beside her stood Yan Zhen and a few of the Wind Chaser Cavalry's guards.

When Yong Lianyun and the rest entered the imperial study, they thought that the ones who would call for them would be the emperor or the empress dowager, but they never expected that it would be the imperial concubine.

"Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine."

Ji Tian Ning lazily leaned against the chair. She raised her charming eyes and looked at the Emperor. "Your majesty is not feeling well. I'll take care of the affairs of the country on his behalf. Take a look at these two decrees."

Wu De personally handed the imperial edict to a few ministers, who looked at it with some doubt. One of the edicts was to arrange for nine days' worth of rest, to be buried under the name of the country's old illness at the Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

The other edict was to confer the title of Queen to Ji Tian Ning, replacing the scale of fire to deal with the imperial government.

The empress dowager's eyelids twitched a few times. Even if the emperor was unwell, it was the empress dowager who had been secretly involved in the political affairs of the empire, taking care of some matters.

"This subject pays his respects to the empress and congratulates the empress."

He was somewhat suspicious. Last night, he and a few other ministers had personally witnessed the palace's nine days, covered in blood, resting in the palace. The empress dowager had also taken out the imperial edict, saying that the palace was planning to rebel against them, and that the assassination would be carried out by the King. She ordered them to use the fastest and most vicious method to wipe out the remaining members of the royal palace.

It had only been half a night, why had there been such a huge change?

"Esteemed Empress, please forgive this subject for offending you. Last night, the Emperor ordered that the King would stand shoulder to shoulder with the intent to rebel, that the King would kill the Emperor, and that the Empress Dowager would order the Emperor to purge the King's Yu party. Why has there been such a drastic change today? Your subject asks, Your Majesty, is the empress dowager safe with you now? "

Ji Tian Ning's sharp eyes stared at Yong Lianyun as he lazily leaned against his chair, "Prime Minister, are you questioning me?"

"This official does not dare, but this is an important military affair. This subject does not dare to be careless, please enlighten this official."

"The Prime Minister may rise. The Emperor has said many times that the Prime Minister has a heart full of wealth and wealth. He has the talent to rule the country. Currently, the Southern Champion and the four nations' situation should also be very clear, if the Southern Champion internal strife, in the country does not benefit the people. If the King is the founder of a country and wants to stand side by side with him, then why would the Prime Minister think that there is anything wrong with it? "

He suspected that the Empress was being held hostage by the subordinate of the King of Shoulder. However, the existence of Wu De caused them to be puzzled.

Last night, they were supposed to be side by side with the King, but the imperial guards had already surrounded the elite soldiers brought by the King. The Empress was in the palace with strict security, so the possibility of her being held hostage was very low.

The few ministers all looked at him. He was the Prime Minister, while Nanke only had one Prime Minister. They all followed his lead.

He hoped that Wu De would give him some hints. Wu De merely smiled and respectfully stood beside Ji Tian Ning.

"May I ask Empress, why didn't the emperor personally handle this matter?"

"Last night, His Majesty was ill and his body was unwell, so the Empress took care of the affairs of the country in his place."

Wu De said lightly and nodded his head, implying that what Ji Tian Ning said was true.

"Please forgive me, esteemed Empress Dowager. Last night, the Empress Dowager ordered her servants to order them to act. Now that the Empress Dowager has called on this official and other officials, she ordered them to stop their arrest. This subject is at a loss. This subject wishes to meet with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

A cold smile formed on his alluring lips as Ji Tian Ning stared at him, "The empress dowager's body is not well. Now that she's unconscious, the emperor has suffered from an old illness and has suffered from a relapse. Could it be that the prime minister and all of you do not believe what I've said and are planning to rebel in the face of chaos?"

The few ministers' expressions all changed as they kneeled on the floor, "This official dares not."

Last night, the Emperor ordered me to take care of the affairs of the country in place of the Emperor, and even entrusted the affairs of the country to all of you. Currently, the Southern Champion City can only be peaceful, there cannot be the slightest bit of chaos, or else it would give the other three countries an opportunity to take advantage of.

"The Empress's words are extremely true. Since the Emperor has decreed it, this subject shall act according to his decree, allowing the imperial court to settle down. Empress need not worry. This subject wishes to visit the Emperor's illness. "

"The emperor is currently unconscious and in a state of anxiety. There is no need for me to hide this matter from you. Last night, an assassin entered the palace and injured the emperor. What else does the prime minister want to know?"

He stared at Ji Tian Ning with his deep eyes, "Empress, the imperial harem is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the five kingdoms. This subject is loyal to the Emperor. Please take care of it peacefully. This subject will take care of the affairs of the kingdom later."

"Can't the harem handle politics? In the old days, I heard that the empress dowager had many affairs of state, so why didn't the Prime Minister say so? Could it be that you've been trying to bully my youth and entered the palace not too long ago, trying to take advantage of the chaos to rebel? "

With a cold tone, he stared at the ministers with a cold look in his eyes. Ji Tian Ning discovered that he was becoming more and more similar to the royal palace that stood side by side for nine days.
