C80 (1/2)
Sweat flowed down from the forehead of the reverse scale. His clothes, already soaked with sweat, became even more moist, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
A silver light flashed from Ji Tian Ning's hand. Wu De stood silently in the corner, his eyes fixed on the silver light in Ji Tian Ning's hand. At this moment, the reverse fire scale was both weak and dangerous. He was not too worried. Even the emperor, who was ill, would be able to use his two hands to kill a valiant general, much less this Empress who did not have any profound kung fu.
A few silver needles appeared between his fingers. Ji Tian Ning quickly inserted the needles into the head of the reverse fire scale. As the needles stabbed into it, the pain seemed to lessen a bit. After inserting the silver needle into its head, the reverse scale slightly closed its eyes, allowing Ji Tian Ning to cast the spell.
Ji Tian Ning pulled up the Flaming Scales' sleeve and inserted silver needles into the tiger's mouth. He was still unable to move his arm, so he still hadn't opened his eyes.
He knew that this was the most dangerous moment for him. Perhaps the needle in the girl's hand was enough to take his life. However, for some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in Ji Tian Ning. He believed that this girl, who he had kidnapped into the palace, would not do anything to harm him.
The art of acupuncture and moxibustion had only just begun to spread across the five countries and was extremely immature. Therefore, the art of acupuncture and moxibustion by Ji Tian Ning was also regarded as a divine art by the imperial hospitals.
Ji Tian Ning once drew a rough map of the acupuncture points of the human body and gave it to the Imperial Physician, and secretly called her Martial Ancestor. At this moment, Ji Tian Ning did not know that she had opened a new wind in the Five Kingdoms' medicine, and had become the grandmaster of the future generations of doctors.
As the silver needles continued to pierce through the scales, the pain gradually lessened. He didn't understand how a few small needles could be able to control his condition.
The handkerchief wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a pair of clear mountain spring eyes looked at him with compassion. ”Are you feeling better?”
The reverse fire scale nodded and leaned back on the dragon throne. Its eyes no longer held any coldness as it helplessly looked at the girl in front of it. She was still dressed in her strange attire, not caring at all about her own skin and beauty. Just like a wondrous flower in the middle of a mountain, it did not need other decorations.
Her three thousand strands of black hair, without any restraint or decoration, fell in front of her, pouring down like a black waterfall. Her beauty was so vivid and natural that it would never be matched with those gorgeous jewelry and clothes.
He was wearing a simple white robe with only the jade belt at his waist. He had taken it off his body the last time he was sick. The jade belt tightly wrapped around her slender and supple waist, giving her a unique beauty.
He turned his head to look at the girl in front of him. Ji Tian Ning should still have a lot of treasures that he snatched from him, but he didn't care and just let her proudly carry them on her body. A hint of a smile rose on the corner of her lips. Did she know that those treasures had long made the imperial concubines' hearts drop to their knees?
A fox that misled the nation, the Charm Monarch? If there was a woman in the harem who was unwilling to do so, it would be Ji Tian Ning, who had been charged with countless crimes.
She had never seduced him, but had refused his favors time and time again.
Inside the hot spring was the moment when he and Ji Tian Ning were the most intimate of all. He was on the verge of having her.
”What kind of magic does this girl have? Could she really be a barbarian witch with spells that can kill and harm people?” ”She also has the ability to predict. Is it true, or is it false?”
To him, everything that Ji Tian Ning had was a mystery. Even though she was right in front of him and right next to him, he still couldn't see through her. It was as if she was a mysterious woman that had descended from heaven. Her entire body was filled with mysteries.
His gaze swept across her graceful body and stealthily rose to a different temperature. That beautiful body had once appeared in front of him without any concealment, including the most private parts. Right now, that wonderful feeling still remained in his mind, causing his headache to immediately ease up.
An eye knife was ruthlessly stabbed into the eyes of the Fiery Inverted Scales. How could Ji Tian Ning not know what the Fiery Inverted Scales were looking at and thinking?
”Your Majesty, I think it would be better to worry about your illness. Today is the second time you've gotten sick, and it will only get worse and worse. In the end, I can't control it either.” Only an early operation is the right path. ”
”If she isn't operated on, doesn't it mean that the concubine has no other methods?”
”No, I'm not an immortal, nor am I a witch. I'm just a doctor.”
It seemed like this little kitten knew a lot about the rumors in the imperial harem. It's just that she doesn't care what people say about her, she still lives her own way.
This was exactly what he liked about her. She would not be influenced by anyone else or her surroundings, and she would maintain her true personality. Every time he returned to the Rain Pavilion, he would sometimes just quietly spy on her every move, enjoying that moment of relaxation. Even if she was with him, she had the ability to ignore him, the Southern Champion, like a small blade of grass.
This was a novel experience. It made him angry, but at the same time, he enjoyed the tranquility.
”How can I completely control this disease?”
”There's no way. I advise you to not take the medicine given to you by the Imperial Physician Guild. Don't you realize that you've become more and more reliant on those drugs? And those drugs are beginning to lose control of your illness?”
”How could I not know that you're smiling so beautifully today? It's a pity that you've never smiled like that in front of me before.”
