C106 (1/2)

The corner of Ji Tian Ning's mouth slightly curved into a faint smile. It seemed like this couple really did have a common tongue. Their words were similarly unfathomable, causing others to be unable to make heads or tails of them.

”The Empress has said it well, and indeed the right time is needed. This is just like surgery: it is not easy to use the technique. One has to wait until the right time before the best results are achieved.”

She wasn't the one to say such words in an indifferent tone. She wasn't the one who was infertile, as she wasn't willing to perform the operation on Gong Huanfeng. Hearing what Gong Huanfeng said, she felt even less of a burden. You want to use escaping from the palace to threaten her? The White Horse Emperor knew long ago that she had always wanted to flee.

If she had the help of Gong Huan Feng, leaving the palace would be much easier. But, she couldn't think of a way to explain why Gong Huan Feng would help her, even if it was from the bottom of her heart.

When she had first entered the palace, the framing of Madam Lan had left a shadow in Ji Tian Ning's mind. Although it hadn't hurt her, she didn't want to become the target of another's schemes.

In the imperial harem, the only person she could trust was the little eunuch, but she did not trust anyone else. It wasn't that he was paranoid. He had never lived in the royal palace and had seen battles before. If he wasn't careful, he might not even know how he died.

The prince was almost murdered, and this sounded the alarm. The bloody and cruel truth told her that this was a place where one ate people without spitting out their bones. Even as Zhaoyi, the daughter of the Minister of Government, and the birth mother of the only prince of the Southern Champion, she had died in such pain and so noiselessly. To this day, she was still said to be ill.

No one doubted him. Even if they did, no one dared to say so openly.

The prince, the only prince of the Southern Champion, other than the reverse scale of fire, was supposed to be the most important person, and he had almost been killed as well.

Ji Tian Ning could not help but be cautious. Normally, no matter how envious or resentful someone was, they could not easily trust the people from the harem, especially the most suspicious, Gong Huanfeng.

Occasionally, he would look at her with eyes that couldn't be hidden, but were filled with malevolent envy and hatred. The way he looked at her was so terrifying that it caused one's heart to turn cold. How could hatred be revealed in those beautiful eyes? When she saw the gaze behind Gong Huanfeng, she felt a chill in her heart.

At that time, she had hidden a makeup box in her sleeve. From the mirror of the makeup box, she could see the hidden hatred and jealousy in Gong Huanfeng's words. Within those beautiful eyes, there was an extremely deep hatred and killing intent that faintly flickered, causing her heart to palpitate. If she hadn't seen the gaze behind her, she wouldn't have been so afraid of Gong Huanfeng.

After all, Gong Huanfeng was the empress, and his father was the most respected King shoulder of the Southern Champion, someone who even the Flaming Devil Scale would have to yield to.

She did not want to be held hostage, so she used the same words as Gong Huanfeng to return the enticement.

Ji Tian Ning wanted to let Gong Huanfeng know that she was not someone she could threaten or lure. That kind of act was useless against her.

Her beautiful eyes were obscured by the drooping eyelashes. Her face was dignified and expressionless, but her heart was filled with hatred. She was just a concubine, a third rank concubine. How could she dare speak to a noble empress like that?

When she looked up, her face was filled with an intimate smile as she held Ji Tian Ning's hand. ”What little sister said is very true. No wonder the Emperor dotes on little sister so much. Even big sister likes it very much. ”

The crystal pendant shone with a dreamy light under the sunlight. At this moment, a shocking scene appeared in front of Ji Tian Ning. It seemed to be an illusion, but it also seemed to be just a feeling.

The skull was unusually exquisite, and an unusual light faintly flowed from the sunken sockets of its eye sockets. In his mind, he suddenly had a feeling that the person he trusted the most would leave her, forever.

When he looked again, there was nothing. The feeling was like lightning, but different from when he looked at the patient. This kind of feeling came from the moment someone murdered the prince. When the Fire Lin saw the Fire Lin beast, she suddenly had a strange feeling that a child would fly in the sky and leave this dirty and cruel palace.

The feeling just now was the same as before. Ji Tian Ning's heart shuddered. Here, the only thing she could rely on was the tassels.

Gong Huanfeng noticed the strange expression on Ji Tian Ning's face, but she didn't understand why.

Her biggest problem was that she could not bear children. Now that she finally had the chance, she naturally would not miss it. No matter how much he hated Ji Tian Ning, on the surface, he wanted to show her intimacy and friendliness.

”Sister, what's wrong? Was he too tired? Sister should take care to rest. ”

”Thank you esteemed empress, I'm fine. If esteemed wangfei is fine, I still need to examine the patient so we can have surgery as soon as possible so mother can be at ease.”

Gong Huan Feng hesitated for a moment. Finally, she could no longer resist the temptation of being able to cure her infertility. She looked around, approached Ji Tian Ning and asked with a low voice, ”Little sister, you really want to leave the palace. If that's the case, Big Sister can wish you a helping hand to get you out of the palace. ”

His heart trembled slightly, but he didn't know what was going on in her heart. This was indeed a very good opportunity. If he had the assistance of the empress, it would be much easier to leave the palace.

”The empress dowager has already set the fifteenth of this month, to go to the Hongmeng Palace and pray for blessings. Now was the time to start preparing. At this time of year, I have to dispatch people out of the palace to prepare and apply items. I also have to deliver items from the palace to the primordial palace, and also have to arrange for maids to go there first. This is the best opportunity. ”

Ji Tian Ning did not say anything. He had told her about it before, and she was planning to do the same thing. However, it was hard to say whether or not Gong Huanfeng would really send her out when the time came, or whether he would take the opportunity to frame her.
