No one...

It is not cold when you come across it …

He would not allow himself to do anything proper.

Warm and cold, she had jumped back into the tiger's den just for this only warmth …

She also wanted to be like those beauties who flattered tyrants and completed their missions earlier, but … However, it was hard to go against his own intentions.

Hundred Flowers Pavilion only dispersed in the afternoon. Once the empress dowager and the king left, the group of beauties immediately took the opportunity to mock the young girl kneeling by the side of the pool.

Even those beauties who had lost their fathers could not help but mock Ling Tian Qing.

There was nothing that could be done about it, these people were very realistic and smart. From what happened today, it could be seen that even if Ling Tian Qing became the queen, she did not have any power or influence, and she was not being pampered at all.

"Sister Fangyi, is your injury serious?"

"Big Sister Fang Yi is too pure, why do you need to block the whip for her? You have the body of a phoenix after all. "

"That's right. I saw that after the King established himself, he wanted to make you his successor."

Who would stand at the back and let the future queen kneel in front of all the beauties?

Therefore, it was possible that Zhou Fangyi would be the one to be set up after this incident.

After all, Zhou Fangyi was the daughter of the richest man in the clan, and during the disaster, the Zhou clan had contributed quite a bit of wealth.

Ling Tian Qing bit her lips as she "thought" the whole time, and didn't ask the empress dowager for forgiveness.

She also thought of lowering her head to beg for forgiveness. She wanted to improve the relationship and finish the task as soon as possible so that she could leave this terrifying cage.

But... Her pride made it impossible for her to humbly apologize in front of so many people.

Furthermore, she was not guilty.

In addition, the whip on her body was extremely painful. If she wanted to stand up and walk over, her posture would probably be very ugly as well … No, she doubted she could stand.

The whip was made of a strange material. It was as heavy as water. At first, it didn't hurt too much, but soon, the pain became more and more severe, causing her to feel as if her bones were splitting apart.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ling Tian Qing was still kneeling by the side of the Ink Lotus Lake, watching the petals of the Ink Lotus as they slowly gathered under the setting sun. The inky black flowers were coated with a layer of gold.

Ling Tian Qing then remembered that Wen Han had taken her to a cliff and absorbed the fluctuating clouds into his hand. Then, they formed an ice lotus, which he controlled to slowly open and close, before finally turning into her appearance …

He could actually do it so meticulously, like an ice mirror, with all sorts of facial features. It was so vivid that Ling Tianqing could call Wen Han an artist.

Those were her happiest days.

He had never thought that he would have to return to the cage and be tortured by Tyrant.

If he gave her another chance, Ling Qing would go back on her word and choose to stay by Wen Han's side …

As the night deepened, a beauty walked over from afar, carrying something in her hands.

Zhou Fangyi looked left and right, and just as the guard on duty left, she immediately walked over to Ling Tianqing who was kneeling down. She placed a plate of pastries in front of her and said in a low voice, "Eat some, you shouldn't be too hungry."

Because the other members of the Heavenly Green Palace did not think well of Ling Tianqing, they were also punished by the punishment of not being able to set foot in the palace, so they were unable to bring food out to Ling Tian Qing.

Ling Qing glanced at Zhou Fangyi, "No need, take it away."

Although Zhou Fangyi had the face of a standard palace lady, Ling Qing did not have any ill intentions towards her.

She had no enmity with anyone who didn't hurt her.

Not to mention that Zhou Fangyi was the only beauty who begged for mercy for her, even though she had her own motives.

Ling Tianqing did not want Zhou Fangyi to be punished for this matter. In this world, she did not want to owe anyone too much.

"Let's go to the Serenity palace and apologize to the empress dowager. As long as she says …" Zhou Fangyi was gentle and elegant, and her face was sincere. She still wanted to continue persuading him.

"Go away and ignore me." Ling Tian Qing turned his head and said impatiently.

"Why are you doing this …" Before Zhou Fangyi could finish speaking, Ling Qing threw all the snacks she had brought into the Ink Lotus Lake.

"Go away!" Ling Tianqing said with an even uglier expression.

She did not want to have anything to do with the palace maid!

"You are that person?" Zhou Fangyi did not leave, but continued to squat down beside her, her bright eyes staring intently at Ling Tianqing's changing face as she asked softly.

Ling Qing looked at her and asked, "Who is it?"

"I remember those eyes that day." Zhou Fangyi even remembered how embarrassed she had been.

At that time, the king was very concerned about that young girl, which made Zhou Fangyi very concerned.

Fortunately, the girl had disappeared.

It was just that she did not expect to be as beautiful as a butterfly when they met again. If it were not for the news, Zhou Fangyi would not even dare to recognize her at first glance.

"What day?" Ling Tian Qing played dumb.

Can you not mention the past?

"That day, when you were in the dragon bed, did you forget?" Zhou Fangyi did not know that after she had eaten the Forgotten Pill, she had forgotten what happened a few hours ago.

"I don't remember." Ling Tian Qing felt humiliated whenever she thought of the Dragon Bed, so she immediately denied it.

She only remembered that Zhou Fangyi suddenly appeared in the carriage. She thought that Ling Jin had been accepted as a servant, but only later on did she realize that it wasn't so.

"Your Majesty, we will make you our Queen." Seeing that she had an expression that said she didn't want to acknowledge him, Zhou Fangyi also stopped getting along with him and said in a low voice.

"I heard that you also have the Phoenix Body." Ling Qing Qing knew that she wouldn't just simply send her food for her to eat.

"Yes, I have the Phoenix Body." Zhou Fangyi nodded, "I've seen that you don't want to be the queen …"

"I don't want to be one, but this position cannot be given to you." Ling Tian Qing interrupted her, "That's why it's useless for you to tell me. If you can convince the king, I'll be extremely grateful."

"The king has made up his mind. It will be difficult to persuade him." Zhou Fangyi pondered for a moment and whispered, "Unless..." Unless there is only one Phoenix Body in the world. "

"What do you mean?" Ling Tian Qing asked, frowning as he endured the pain.

"There can only be one person between you and me." Zhou Fangyi said honestly.

"You mean, let me die?" Ling Tian Qing felt that changing her fate was unlikely. When she just found out what kind of damned Phoenix Body she was, she had already secretly looked for Master Qing Xu a few times.

Qing Xu said that unless he died, he would change his life.

"Today, seeing that you don't have any feelings for the king, back then you would rather die than give in …" Zhou Fangyi thought of that night when Ling Qing was being fed the Hundred Fairies Pill. She also gritted her teeth and cursed.

"Cough …" But I don't want to die. " Ling Tian had forgotten that night, so he did not know how she saw that she would rather die than give in.

She couldn't die. She couldn't even have the thought of dying.

As he spoke of death, his entire body felt cold and painful …

"Fake death?" Zhou Fang Yi frowned and said in a low voice, "There are some strange medicine in the Southern Wilderness. If one were to take it, it would be like faking death, but after seven days, it can bring back the soul."

"You have medicine?" Ling Tian Qing had read the encyclopedia here before, of course he remembered this strange medicine.

However, it was just hearsay. It was said that this medicine was similar to the Scarlet Beauty Pill. Nobody had actually seen it in hundreds of years.

"If you're willing to agree with me, I can think of a way to get this medicine." Zhou Fangyi said with a smile.

Hehehehehe.

Ling Qing really wanted to look up at the sky and laugh, but her whole body was in pain and she could not.

Elder sister, are you kidding me?

Who knows what kind of medicine you gave me? In the event that she doesn't fake her own death, who will she seek to redress her grievances?

"You don't have to worry about me lying to you. I can form a blood alliance with you. If you really die, then I won't be able to live either. " Zhou Fangyi was extremely smart. Seeing that she was silent, she knew what she was thinking and said.

"The Blood Alliance?" Ling Tian Qing couldn't help but stare at the gentle and charming beauty in front of him. "Who the hell are you?"

The Blood Alliance was an extremely ancient Gu technique that had been lost for a long time. It was said that only a few Magi of the primitive tribes remembered this technique.

As for Zhou Fangyi, she was born in the fertile lands of Jiangnan. Her father was the richest person in the country. She was a girl from a noble family, so how could she understand so many strange things?

"Yes, the Blood Alliance will definitely make a connection between our lives and death. I will not let anything happen to you." Zhou Fangyi did not answer her later words and continued.

"Why did you think I would agree?" Ling Tian Qing asked.

Zhou Fangyi was truly bold. In this palace where danger was everywhere, she actually said those words to people she had only met a few times and did not understand.

However, she was also very smart. She knew that Ling Tian Qing hated Ling Zui, so she did not beat around the bush and said those words.

"I'm not in a hurry. Even if you become the queen, as long as you want to leave, just let me know." Zhou Fangyi said with a smile.

"Is the harem really that good?" Ling Qing did not understand why the world of women would keep fighting over a man.

The harem was cold and cruel, devoid of human warmth and freedom …

"The harem is not good." Zhou Fangyi softly sighed, "But, to become the master of the imperial harem, this is an extremely interesting place."

You're more suited to this place than I am.

Ling Qing really wanted to say this to her, but held it in.

"I'm leaving now. If you think about it, come find me anytime." Zhou Fangyi smiled as she picked up the food box and quietly retreated.

If it was before, Ling Tian would definitely agree to it without hesitation.

But now, she couldn't leave.

The night was getting darker, and Ling Qing's hair and clothes were all drenched in dew. She did not say a word as she continued to kneel, feeling the cold of the night and the cruelty of the people.

There was no one here. As long as the person holding the royal power said that she was wrong, she was wrong.

Even if she wrote a million words of paper and countless experiments to verify that she was right, no one would agree with her.

It was a simple and brutal society.

She could not help but feel envious of Zhou Fangyi.

At the very least, she would be able to find countless pleasures here. Every day, she would have a goal and motivation …

"How long are you going to be stubborn?" Ling Xi stood behind her like a ghost. His voice was like dew, causing people's hearts to slightly freeze.

Ling Qing did not speak, but continued to kneel.

"I'll go back and sleep. Tomorrow morning, we'll pay respects to the empress dowager with this duke." Ling Jin, who had been killed, gave in.

Initially, he had wanted to improve their relationship. However, he did not expect that Ling Qing would not be tactful and instead, caused their relationship to become more and more tense.
