"I don't want to die … "I don't want to …" Ling Qing wanted to hide in a corner, as every inch of her skin was in pain. That was the side effect of the Scarlet Beauty Pellet.

The pain of pricking was like using medicine to increase the sensitivity of each nerve cell. Just a slight touch was like peeling off a layer of skin.

The man had touched Ling Tian's waist, and a sharp pain had also flashed past, causing Ling Tianqing to break out in a cold sweat.

Ling Jin saw that her face was pale and she wanted to avoid his hand. It seemed that she hated his touch, so he couldn't help but lower his face and shake his hand, watching her stumble to the side.

"Since you don't want to die, learn from others on how to survive." With that, Ling Xuanxin turned around, not wanting to see her face again.

Judging from the empty projection in Dragon Restaurant, it should be around nine in the morning by now.

Ling Zui had been here for an entire day and hadn't even gone to the morning assembly.

"You … You... "Don't go …"

Just as Ling Xiang was about to leave the Spirit Spring Water, he suddenly heard an inaudible pleading voice behind him.

Ling Tian Qing did not want to be left behind.

When the pill broke out, she was the only one who suffered in that endless and miserable world.

No matter how she struggled or how she cried for help, no one came to help her.

In the end, when she really thought that she really couldn't be saved in hell, a warm hand pressed down that pain …

Ling Tian Qing Qing was not in a clear mind yet, and was even more fragile than a newborn baby. She only knew that Ling Mao Bing was her lifesaver, but had forgotten who fed her the Scarlet Beauty Pellet.

Ling Xuanxuan stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around.

He only paused for a moment before picking up the dragon robe that was hanging on the side and putting it on his body to leave.

Ling Tian Qing watched as the lifesaver left heartlessly, not saying a word. He retreated to a corner of the Spirit Spring Water, a layer of mist appearing in his empty eyes.

She was alone … Very scared...

Being isolated in another world, she couldn't escape no matter how she tried. She was scared and lonely …

Wen Han had a cold personality and liked metaphysics. He had a good relationship with Qing Xu.

He would often go to the monastery and play chess with Master Qing Xu. He would chat casually with the four statues and the five elements, so he could be considered half a fellow daoist.

Recently, when the king had his grand wedding, the dukes had nothing to do, so they had come even more diligently.

"Sir, you seem to be worried?" After the cold man landed on the first child, his gaze fell on the white clouds outside the pavilion as he said this.

"This move is very good." Monk Qing Xu looked at the chessboard and muttered.

"If you have any worries, feel free to tell me." The warm and cold gaze finally withdrew from the pavilion and landed on the hale and hale face of Guru Qing Xu.

"You can't say it, you can't say it, you can't say it. You can't say it." Qing Xu smiled as he picked up a chess piece, but the worry between his brows did not fade by much.

"Master really likes to play tricks on others." Wen Han shook his head. His expression remained as cold as ice without any change in his expression. No one could guess what kind of heart there was beneath his ice-cold face.

"It's not a trick, it's just …" "Sigh …" Qing Xu heaved a long sigh, but how could he explain this?

If it was only a private matter between the curtains on the empress dowager's bed, then it would be fine. But recently, something was getting more and more out of hand.

"Now that the phoenix body has become stronger, what else is there to sigh about?" Wen Han glanced at Qing Xu and asked indifferently.

"Even so … "But look at the East Palace." Master Qing Xu suddenly pointed to the east.

In the sky to the east, a pale purple planet was faintly discernible.

That was Phoenix.

From the moment it was established, this purple, gigantic Phoenix Star would always be floating in the air, and would only slowly disappear when it had the body of a phoenix and gave birth to children.

"It's a good thing that the purple qi is coming from the east." Wen Han glanced at Phoenix and said without the slightest bit of emotion. He didn't even change his tone of voice.

"The harem obviously has a master, but …" Qing Xu shook his head and stopped what he was about to say, "One year ago, this humble Taoist had seen the pressure of the palace from behind. But now, I feel that something is not right."

"What's wrong?" Wen Han asked.

Master Qing Xu shook his head and stopped talking.

When the warm and cold situation was over, he got up and left.

He knew that he would not be able to see Ling Tian Qing in the Imperial Garden today, because she had been sent to the Spirit Spring Water for a day and a night.

Her Majesty saw a man in snow-white clothes walking alone in the distance.

In the Fourth Marquis, Flower Speaker and Wenren Chuchu and Lord Grim were all in love with the liveliness. No matter where they went, they would always be surrounded by them.

And Ling Xue, whom the previous King had admired the most, had a calm personality, was loyal to the core. He also had a low profile and did not do anything too arrogantly.

Only this Wen Hou was the most aloof and eccentric. No matter where he went, he wouldn't be happy with the number of people around.

Only the empress dowager knew that Wen Han was much stronger than Lingxue in the King's Hunt.

He could have obtained the previous emperor's recognition, but at that time, the young man's warmth and coldness made it clear that if such appreciation could not be turned into power, then he could not do anything about it, otherwise it would only arouse the jealousy of others.

This child had been deeply scheming since he was young.

But unfortunately, there was still a chance in this world.

The only son of the late emperor was born to be treated as the sole heir to the Sky Empire. Before he ascended the throne, he already had a plan to rule the world, and it wouldn't be easy for Wen Han to defeat him.

After ascending the throne, Ling Xiang had met with a series of methods to restrain his subjects and win over their hearts. No one dared to rebel against him.

Compared to the benevolent and benevolent previous emperor, the methods that Ling Xiang had come across were much more ruthless.

However, it was precisely because of this that the King's treasury had been emptied of large amounts of gold and silver. This was why the royal treasury had gradually filled up and the political affairs had become clear.

"Wen Hou, you went to meditate in the monastery again?" The Empress Dowager welcomed him with a smile.

"Your servant pays his respects to Her Majesty." Wen Han seemed to be thinking about something else as he kept looking down at his feet. Suddenly, he heard the empress dowager's voice and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow.

"No need for formalities." The empress dowager's face hung with smiles, a hint of heartache on her face. "Wen Hou seems to have lost a lot of weight recently. Is it because he has to work so hard for the south?"

Anyone who knew what was going on would be able to tell that something was amiss after listening to his words.

The harem was never involved in politics, but Her Majesty knew all about the whereabouts of the warm cold.

Ling Xiang had never talked about the affairs of state in front of the Empress Dowager, and Flower Speaker probably wouldn't mention such boring details …

Only, the empress dowager was accompanied by trusted aides and confidants. No matter how outrageous the words were, they wouldn't spread to the ears of others.

Green Shadow and White Robe paused in their steps and exchanged a glance between the empress dowager and Wen Han. Then, Green Shadow immediately led a group of patrolling imperial guards to patrol towards the two who were talking to each other.

"..." "I didn't expect Wen Hou to like to talk about the Dao, and coincidentally, This Dowager is preparing to invite High Monk to come …"

"Her Majesty seems to ask the High Monk to preach every year. She really does preach to the Buddha."

"If you are not busy with national affairs, come with Jin'er and the others. I haven't seen you kids together for a long time, since you were a child you didn't like to be here. Now, besides Jin'er and Xiao Ke, you can only see me on my birthday …" There was a trace of pity and helplessness in the empress dowager's voice.

Green Shadow hadn't even stepped forward when he heard the two of them conversing. It seemed like they were just chatting about family matters, and there wasn't anything strange about it.

Everyone knew, however, that the one the empress dowager doted the most on when she was young wasn't her nephew, nor was it Ling Xue, but warm and cold.

The king was taken away by the late king since he was a child, and from his infancy he was told to listen to the sage in the court of the Crown Prince, and to carefully guide him.

At that time, the empress dowager and her cousin were on good terms, and Wen Han was the empress dowager's cousin's son.

Every day, Lady Wen would carry Wen Han to see the Empress Dowager and chat with her.

Even after Wen Han had become the prince's reading partner, he had often been summoned by the empress dowager. On top of that, when Lady Wen had died at the age of six, the empress dowager had treated Wen Han as her own.

However, this situation did not last long.

Firstly, because of the warm and cold weather, he had to accompany Ling Jin to practice martial arts. Secondly, because of the cold weather, his personality had become increasingly cold after he had passed the age of eleven. Suddenly, one day, he was unwilling to be summoned again by the empress dowager.

Her Majesty knew that warm and cold thoughts were different from those of ordinary people. When he was young, he had always held back his edge.

When he was ten years old, his father, who was also a meritorious general of his generation, passed away. Wen Han knew that being favored by the empress dowager would bring calamity upon himself as well.

If there was a third person who knew of his true background, they might have also understood why Wen Han was so self-disciplined.

"I've heard that the dukes of the four seas have all been in the capital recently, why hasn't Wen Hou accompanied them?" Her Majesty asked with a smile.

"This subject does not like to interact with others. This kind of thing is more than enough for Hua Hou." Wen Han said lightly.

"Although Jin'er enjoys liveliness, her character is too hasty, I'm afraid …" The empress dowager paused and suddenly stopped speaking.

"Empress Dowager, this subject still has other official matters to attend to. I'll be taking my leave first." When Wen Han saw the empress dowager's expression, he immediately bowed and took his leave.

"Wen Hou, take care of your health. Once in awhile, I will have someone send you some warm and nourishing saint artifacts." Her Majesty nodded slightly and no longer exchanged pleasantries.

"Many thanks for the empress dowager's favor." There were no waves on Wen Han's face, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

No matter how good the saint rank was, it wouldn't be able to save him.

There was only one person who could cause his heart, which was like a glacier in the Wasteland, to feel traces of warmth.

And she, was pushed into this Hell's Palace by his own hands, suffering endless pain.

He swore that he would make her suffer ten times as much as that person!

"Ah, and, as you know, I am extremely opposed to this." Her Majesty added when she saw that the imperial guards had left.

"The phoenix body has already been determined. There's no point in speaking any further." When Wen Han heard this, he suddenly retorted coldly.

The empress dowager's expression did not change, she only sighed. "But do you know that this daughter of heaven cannot be blessed?"

Wen Han was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"According to the news from the Imperial Physician Guild, the God-given girl has a weird body. She almost died on the first night in the dragon bed." The empress dowager said in a low voice to Wen Han, "If her treatment isn't good, her body won't be able to give birth to a son."

"First night? Isn't it because of the Beauty Pellet? " The expression on Wen Han's face finally changed.
