Originally, those Fangyuan generals were absolutely unwilling to leave the battlefield. However, after hearing that it was to save the Empress, they set out on their journey back to the capital without hesitation.

”Down!”

He waved his sleeves and didn't care whether the golden armor left or not. He turned around and left the side hall, leaving the golden armor all alone in the side hall.

The golden armor knelt on the ground stiffly, as if it had been petrified and had not moved for a long time.

Ji Tian looked at the moon in the sky. Even now, he was still awake. This was the first sleepless night since he arrived here. In her hand was a piece of white silk, which the golden armor had given to her, saying that it was a gift from Shang Qiuyuan to the Empress.

There was a snow-white lotus embroidered on the white silk. It looked very lifelike. Other than that, there was nothing else.

The corners of his mouth curled up. He seemed to have learnt it already. Putting the white silk in the water, his handwriting could be seen clearly. Imprint the words into your eyes and wash them off with water. There was still only one snow lotus on the white silk. There were no other traces.

He, who was thousands of miles away, had never forgotten that when she was in danger, he had actually dispatched elite soldiers to rescue her.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, and her delicate figure slightly trembled as her heart once again went cold.

This was the palace, and no one could rescue her. Even if it was Shang Qiuyuan, it was impossible.

”Perhaps that letter will have some effect. I can only hope so!”

”His Majesty has decreed that Ji Tianning will —”

A long shout came from outside. Ji Tian Ning's lips curled into a sneer. Why was it so late at night?

”Could it be because he obtained me in the hot spring today that he couldn't wait and wanted to express his goodwill?”

The concubines who had been favoured for the first time would generally be given an additional title. This was the custom of the harem.

”Esteemed Empress, please change clothes and go out to receive the decree. His Majesty has an order.”

Hong Mei walked in, bowed, and invited Ji Tian Ning out.

”Have you given the letter to the empress?”

”It's esteemed wangfei. This servant personally gave it to esteemed empress and personally saw her read it. The empress seemed to be extremely angry and tore the letter to shreds on the spot.”

A mocking smile appeared on his face. Tearing apart, he was infuriated? This way, she would be able to feel a bit of her own emotions.

Without changing his clothes or going out, he turned around and lay on the couch. ”If you want to announce the decree, come in and announce it. I'm not feeling well.”

Hong'e was helpless. Even in the face of the emperor's often rude attitude, she was already somewhat used to it.

The eunuch who issued the decree was not surprised. He walked in, and without even looking at Ji Tian Ning lying on the ground, he opened the decree to read out.

”I am under the command of the heavens. The emperor decrees that the imperial concubine, Ji Tianning, shall continue to carry out her tasks without stopping. Her etiquette is lacking, and she offends the might of the heavens time and time again. Immediately strip her of her title of concubine and reduce her to a fully clothed maid. Here we go! ”

Ji Tian Ning was stunned for a moment. He went from third rank to ninth rank just like that? It seemed that this lowly position of the maid was really fated to be his!

She was lazily lying on the bed. Whether it was a concubine or a maid, was there any difference to her?

In the large basin, hot air was rising in spirals. In order to guard against another attack from the Baima Emperor, he could only have the maid bring a hot spring water from the hot spring. He placed it in the large basin and hastily washed it.

She'd only dared to take a bath when she heard that the white-horse emperor had attracted the favor of other imperial concubines and wasn't in the pavilion. Two days had quietly passed. The reverse fire scale hadn't even looked at her once, as if it had already forgotten about her.

Smiling bitterly, this is what the Emperor dotes on. A moment later, I forgot about it.
