C118 (1/2)

The Fiery-Scaled Tiger once said that it was forbidden for rumors to spread to Ji Tian Ning's ears. If anyone disobeyed its orders, they would be executed immediately. Therefore, Ji Tian Ning did not know about these rumors.

”Little cat, I can only do this. If you hate me for restraining you, then I just don't want to let you know the rumors.”

The reverse fire scale was a bit helpless. These rumors spread like wildfire through the Ancestral Dragon City and the imperial harem. Now, this rumor had an even greater momentum as it began to spread throughout all parts of the Southern Champion Kingdom. Everyone knew that in the imperial harem of the Southern Champion, there was a sinful Empress.

”Did you go out and find out anything?”

Ji Tian Ning was a bit anxious. If she was not allowed to leave the Wind and Rain Pavilion, she could only walk around inside. The originally large golden silk cage had shrunk by several times. How could she not be depressed?

”Why is there no movement after the operation has failed?” It's fine if the White Horse Emperor doesn't punish me, but will the mastermind behind this allow me to stay here safely? ”

”Empress, this servant can never leave. The Wind and Rain Pavilion is no longer allowed to enter or leave as they please, especially the people by the Empress's side. They are even more forbidden to leave.”

Ah!

The White Horse Emperor wanted to trap her to death. If she was going to be punished, just say so. If it was going to be windy or rainy, why didn't you give her a sound first? What were you trying to do by keeping her in suspense?

”I despise you, Emperor Baima. What are you thinking of, locking me up in the Rain Pavilion and refusing to see me?”

”Empress, this servant heard some rumors before, but I was worried that the Empress might be worried, so I did not tell the Empress.”

Ji Tian Ning grabbed the tack, ”Good little brother, didn't I tell you before that you have something to tell me? One must know that these rumors are the wind vane, deciding whether or not I can safely stay in this pool of muddy water. ”

”This servant heard many rumors, all of them against the Empress. He said that the last time the patient died, the Empress was incompetent, and some people said that the Empress had refused to treat him.”

”What else? Tell me quickly.”

”Someone said …”

Ji Tian Ning looked at him seriously. ”I know you don't want me to worry about you, but if you are sincere about your sister, tell her everything that has happened and what you have left behind. This way, Big Sister can be prepared. ”

”Some people say that the Empress is a wicked witch with witchcraft. She has the power to determine life and death. However, if the Empress wanted to save someone's life, she had to use her own life in exchange. If no one died, the Empress would not be able to save them. There were also those who said that the Empress saved a person's life because of their identity … ”

”Pick the most important one.”

”There are demon mountains near the sea. In the barbarian region, magic flourishes. Under the heavens, water was the most suspicious. Ji Hong was in the north, and fire from the south. ”Once evil beings are born, the nation shall perish, flames shall burn, and the witch shall turn to ashes; the nation shall prosper!”

Ji Tian Ning could not help but feel chills run down her spine. No matter how many rumors and slanders there were, it would be fine. However, if even those rumors were spread, it would mean that she was in danger.

”Where did these words come from?”

The baron shook his head. It was not easy for him to find out about this. How could he know where it came from?

”Reporting to the Empress, the female official of the main hall requests an audience with the Empress.”

”What's the Begonia doing here at this time?”

Ji Tian Ning knew very well that it was too late for the concubines everywhere to avoid her. Even the maids and eunuchs by her side trembled all day, not showing the slightest trace of relief on their gloomy faces. Right now, she was like a highly toxic herb, causing one to die just by touching her.

”Invite the female official Qiu to come in.”

The court lady was in charge of assisting the Emperor in his affairs. Her authority was enormous, and she even surpassed the ordinary imperial concubines. She was the most pampered person by the Emperor's side. The Begonia had always been in this position. The highest official in the harem was the imperial lady next to the empress dowager. She was one of the steward in charge of six official affairs.

It wasn't that the Begonia was unable to do so, but she was willing to stay by the side of the Fiery Inverted Scale and the Fiery Inverted Scale was also unwilling to let her go. Although she still had a higher position on top of the female official, but in the imperial harem, everyone knew that the right of the Begonia is the greatest.

”We pay our respects to the Empress.”

”Elder sister is here, please take a seat.”

Ji Tian Ning remembered that she hadn't seen Begonia for a while, so why did she see him now?

”His Majesty feared that Esteemed Empress might be depressed, so he ordered his subjects to come serve her.”

”There is no need to be so polite here. The tares are not outsiders. It has been a long time since I last saw my sister. Let's have a good chat.” ”Keeping watch at the door, you must not let anyone near.”

He went out to guard the door.
