”Wait, how could Ji Tian Ning know that someone is trying to harm my prince?” She would not have done this. She would not have sent people to assassinate my prince. If she had such thoughts, she wouldn't have saved my child. However, did she really have the ability to predict good fortune? ”Perhaps, she really is a barbarian witch, with some unknown sorcery?”

Huo Ni Lin didn't believe that Ji Tian Ning would send someone to murder his prince. That would be of no benefit to Ji Tian Ning. The reason why there were people who would listen to the maids in the Rain Pavilion doing this was just to confuse the crowd and divert their attention.

”Wu De, send reliable people to wait for the prince's sleeping quarters day and night. Without my decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”Investigate this lowly slave thoroughly and don't let any clues go.”

”Your servant obeys the decree.”

Wu De immediately ordered for people to keep a close watch on the Palace and look for suspicious people. Fortunately, at this moment, Ji Tian Ning had received a letter from a certain eunuch to repay her kindness and left in a timely manner. Otherwise, he would have definitely provoked the suspicion of the reverse scale of fire.

His eyes were filled with a frigid temperature as he gazed through the window towards the location of ”her”. He clenched his fist tightly in his sleeve, ”You have already touched my reverse scale, my bottom line. Flying Heaven's death has caused my tolerance for you to reach the limit, and my prince cannot afford to lose. Don't think that I can't touch you, it's just that the time is not up yet. ”You shouldn't have done this. You shouldn't have plotted against our only prince.”

A thick killing intent rose in his eyes. The cold killing intent caused the surrounding air to freeze up.

”Wow, wow …”

As if stimulated by the thick killing intent, the child began to cry loudly. Someone came forward to pick up the child and gently coaxed him.

When their gazes landed on the child, the killing intent in their eyes disappeared, and the surrounding people immediately let out a sigh of relief.

”Wu De, detain those suspicious people as well as those responsible for serving the prince. interrogate them properly. Without my order, no one is allowed to come close to those people.”

”Your Majesty, please be at ease. This servant has already sent down the orders, the servants and protectors have all been arranged.”

Wude had some doubts, His Majesty had obviously entered the hot spring bathroom to have a deep relationship with that noble concubine. Why, in the blink of an eye, he had hurried all the way to the Spring Festival Glow Palace. Earlier, he'd seen that maid harm the prince, and how did the Emperor know that someone was trying to harm the prince?

His gaze was filled with deep thought. That noble concubine was truly difficult for people to see through. It was simple on the surface, innocent, happy, angry, sad, and always shining on the face.

But what sort of method had she used to make His Majesty act this way?

At this moment, no one in the Spring Festival Glow Palace noticed Ji Tian Ning. This was because Ji Tian Ning was dressed in palace attire today, and she did not wear any accessories representing the ranks of imperial concubines. She felt that the jewelry was too heavy and she didn't want to dress herself like a peacock. Her palace attire was also plain and light, so it wasn't very eye-catching amongst the palace maids.

The young eunuch from before was caught by Ji Tian Ning when he went to the Rain Pavilion to look for Ji Tian Ning for treatment. He then noticed her and whispered a few words to her before leaving in a hurry.

Ji Tian Ning looked around. The surrounding people's faces were filled with panic as they hurried to leave. She hurriedly turned around and left the Spring Festival Glow Palace.

The eunuch's words made her understand that the prince was indeed in danger, and her words were true.

If that was the case, then the White Horse Emperor would not have the time and the mood to look for her again. He would be furious and would be looking for the mastermind behind the plot to harm the prince. At this time, it was best for her to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

He hurriedly returned to the Rain Pavilion and stared at the distant red wall and the beautiful scenery behind it. What kind of evil was hidden behind it? Even the prince's mother, as well as the emperor's concubine, would inevitably be killed. The first prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom, and also the only prince, would also be killed.

Her heart was as cold as ice. She had no woman, and if she died here, the harem would not be affected at all.

Once, she thought that she was different from the others. She had modern medical skills and didn't care too much about ancient ones. Until she saw that the tuberculosis flying high in the sky was being controlled well, not by the phthisis that she remembered from ancient times could not be cured, but by control.

At that time, she was only slightly surprised and did not put it to heart too much.

”But, no matter how good my medical skills are, it's impossible for me to compete with the schemes of the harem. I can save her, but I can't save her. She's dead, after all. Perhaps, one day, I will also quietly and painfully leave this place like her. Perhaps, I will only be able to leave this place when I die! ”

Standing in front of the Rain Listening Pavilion, the scenery here was beautiful. The surroundings were rippling with blue waves, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers was drifting in the wind. The beautiful flowers were unable to relax Ji Tian Ning's heart. He already knew that the harem was scheming and fighting with each other, but seeing it with his own eyes, there was a huge difference between a true feeling and reading a book or watching a TV show.

He had seen with his own eyes that of the two people he had spent so much effort to save, one had already died in pain and the other had been secretly harmed. He did not know what was going on yet.

”Why haven't you come back yet? Haven't you heard what happened to your child?”

Ji Tian Ning was extremely worried. After all, she was still a child. She was as delicate as his mother. Because she was born prematurely, her body was extremely weak due to flying high in the sky. Even if it was a child like that, there were still people who wouldn't let him go.

”Who could it be? Could it be the Queen? ”

The peerlessly beautiful face appeared in front of him. Behind the peerlessly beautiful face, was there a venomous heart of a snake or a scorpion? It was as if he could not see through the hearts of the women in the imperial palace.

”You only glanced back at Ego for the love of a man. Is it worth it for you?”

At this moment, Ji Tian Ning was once again determined to leave this place, this palace that ate people without spitting out their bones, to walk the path that he wanted to walk.
