C80 (2/2)
An enchanting smile appeared on Ji Tian Ning's face. He bent over and stared at Huo Ni Lin, ”Are you jealous? Is the child well? ”
Huo Ni Lin's eyes immediately filled with killing intent: ”Good, good, good. My beloved concubine, how did you know that someone was trying to harm my prince? The person who plotted the murder of our beloved son is the maid of the Rain Listening Pavilion. ”
”Are you suspecting that I was the one who instructed the Prince to be harmed?”
There was still a strange smile on his face as he looked at the reverse scale with a faint smile. If she wanted to kill someone, there were many ways to do so. She didn't even have to pretend to be someone else.
”It's not you, I know it's not you, but do you really have the ability to predict?”
”Who knows, maybe it's just a coincidence.”
He swiped his fingers across the reverse fire scale's face and ruthlessly grabbed it. This couldn't even be considered as interest.
He lowered his head to look at that cold face that caused one's heart to palpitate. He bent down and whispered into Huo Ni Lin's ear, ”Kid, just you wait. I'll get the interest and capital from the hot spring sooner or later.”
He pinched the body of a certain kind of emperor a few times. That was today's interest.
”How do you know you won't pay an even greater price for your actions today? ”My beloved concubine, don't forget that you are my woman.”
Huo Ni Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at his beloved concubine who he had never favoured before. It was probably only this beloved concubine who dared to request interest and principal from him.
Feeling the aching pain on his body, his gaze landed on Ji Tian Ning's wrist. Surprisingly, there were many bruises there. However, what caught the attention of the reverse fire scale the most was the fiery peach blossoms on his arm. His beloved concubine was still a complete woman. If word got out, it would be the greatest joke of the Southern Champion.
”Hmph, I knew it long ago. The emperor is a person who goes back on his words. Have you forgotten the edict that you gave me?”
Ji Tian Ning pulled over a chair and sat opposite to the reverse fire scale, glaring at the White Horse Emperor.
”How could I have not kept my word? My beloved concubine, it was you who did not see clearly the edict of exemption that I bestowed upon you.” ”Go back and read it carefully. I am a ruler of the country, how could I say something wrong to a woman?”
Frowning, her slender jade-like fingers twirled the silver needles. A wave of pain, numbness, swelling, and pain followed one after another as the needles followed the meridians. The body of the Fiery-Scaled Beast trembled slightly, but a smile still appeared on its face. This little kitten would reveal its sharp claws at any time, and wouldn't miss a chance to take revenge.
”My beloved concubine, does this count as repayment for me pampering my concubine in the hot spring just now?”
When the topic of hot springs was brought up, Ji Tian Ning's fire flared up. His twenty-odd years of innocence had been seen clearly by the perverted emperor just like that, not a single detail was revealed.
Xiao Yan clenched his teeth and rubbed his mouth. He looked at the muscles on the reverse fire scale and felt the urge to bite it. This damned Emperor Baima actually dared to laugh at her. Could it be that someone didn't know that he was just a piece of fish on the chopping board, waiting for her to slaughter him?
His fingers continuously twirled the silver needles, gently pulling them up and then stabbing them deep again.
The reverse fire scale slightly trembled as it felt that indescribable taste. If it was his choice, he would rather take the blow than taste this taste. The only good thing about it was that the pain in his head was weakening, almost to the point of vanishing.
Wu De quietly stood by the pillar in the corner, as if he had already merged with it. He watched Ji Tian Ning's movements, his hands in his sleeves, not moving at all.
He could feel that Ji Tian Ning did not have any malice nor did she have any killing intent. As she twirled the silver needles, they should belong to some kind of medical technique that he did not know about.
The cold-blooded Emperor had always had a cold expression on his face. Even if it was him, he would rarely see his master show any other expression. Ever since the Empress had entered the palace, her mistress's expression had grown more and more moved by that Empress.
”Could it be that Your Majesty has really fallen for the Empress?” He had never seen His Majesty act this way towards that imperial concubine before, and he even stayed in the Rain Pavilion to accompany her at any time. ”Esteemed wangfei, your methods are extraordinary. You can actually change His Majesty's mood. It would be a good thing if His Majesty would be willing to use feelings for a girl.”
In the hundreds of beauties in the harem, only he understood the lonely nature of the reverse scale. He had doted upon countless concubines, but his master had never been moved or moved by a single woman.
”So it really was the imperial concubine who told His Majesty that someone had plotted to murder the prince. Can she really predict what never happened?”
Wu De silently looked at Ji Tian Ning. His gaze swept past the crystal pendant in front of Ji Tian Ning. He had already seen that pendant before. When Ji Tian Ning first entered the palace, he had seen it before. At the time, he'd been very surprised that a woman could carry such a pendant, and why His Majesty hadn't ordered her to remove it.
Perhaps it was because of Ji Tian Ning's medical skills, or perhaps it was because of the crystal skull pendant around her neck, but both the evildoer and witch were also tied to her body.
