Escaped Medical Concubine - C271

That night, Ji Tian Ning arranged a sumptuous feast in the harem to welcome Shang Qiuyuan.

After the banquet, the officials said their goodbyes. Shang Qiuyuan was left behind and once again entered Ji Tianning’s palace.

“Ning’er, things are different now. You and I need to be careful not to arouse suspicion.” “Moreover, the Emperor is still alive and has more of his eyes and ears in the palace, so you shouldn’t be careless.”

“Sigh, but I’ve missed you so much.”

Ji Tian Ning pouted. ‘How bitter. Now that the empress has control over the political affairs of the court, she should be worried a lot even if she wanted to be with her sweethearts.’

Shang Qiu Yuan sighed and helplessly embraced Ji Tian Ning’s slender waist. “The Emperor has a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and the situation has just stabilized a little. “You and I should be more careful. Give me some time, Ning’er. Trust me, I’ll definitely arrange everything properly.”

“What are you going to do?”

“You can’t be too hasty. You have to take it step by step. Leave it to me. You’ve worked hard recently, and it makes my heart ache.”

“It’s good that you’re back. I’ll leave everything to you then. Half of the palace guards are Yan Zhen’s men, and the other half I want to exchange with yours. This way, even if there’s any change, it’ll be in our hands.”

“There’s no need to rush. This matter cannot be rushed, lest something unexpected happens.”

“Qiuyuan, you’ll have to work hard in the future.”

“I already have a plan. What do you think of it?”

Ji Tian Ning lowered her head to look at him, then lazily retreated into Shang Qiuyuan’s embrace, “As long as you agree, everything will be as you plan. In the future, you will be the one to handle the military and state affairs of the imperial court.”

“That’s not appropriate. You should put on airs, or else others will say that I’m a person who fights for power.”

“It’s useless even if I don’t say anything. Recently, I’ve been losing more and more spirit and my brain isn’t working well either. As for these matters, it’s fine as long as you handle them. In any case, I’ll agree to all of your suggestions. ”

“Lazy bug, is the child good?”

“Of course it’s fine, you can take a look …”

Suddenly, Shang Qiuyuan took two steps back and said in a clear voice, “This subject is of great importance to Your Majesty. The Empress trusts you. Please rest assured Empress, this subject will flatten the situation and stabilize the Southern Champion. This subject will definitely not give the thief an opportunity. ”

Ji Tian Ning silently looked out the window at the night sky. She knew that someone must have approached, which was why Shang Qiuyuan acted this way. He also knew that even though Wu De and Ksitigarbha had expressed their loyalty to her, that didn’t mean they had betrayed the Fiery Inverted Scales. They would definitely secretly spy on her.

“It has been hard for your beloved one to come all the way here. Go and rest.”

Shang Qiuyuan bowed and left. Ji Tian Ning was somewhat angry, but was unable to flare up.

“Could it be that even if I wanted to say a few words to Qiu Yuan in the future, I have to act like a thief?” Distress, distress. ”

Although the Fiery-Scaled Beast was bedridden, the spies in the palace had not stopped operating. Especially after Shang Qiuyuan had returned, they had become even busier.

Ah!

Ji Tian Ning frowned. She didn’t know how many times it had happened, but someone had been caught in her ambush. She couldn’t be bothered to care about the lives of these people.

Was she easy? In order to be able to say a few words to Qiuyuan, he had put in a lot of effort, poisoned a lot of people, and ambushed a lot of poisonous bugs.

“Ning’er, don’t be like this. The more you are like this, the more people will suspect you.”

“So annoying, the feeling of being watched in secret is really annoying. My head hurts. Qiuyuan, you better give it a shot.”

Shang Qiuyuan lightly scratched Ji Tian Ning’s head. “Has His Majesty recovered yet?”

“I’ve recovered a bit, but I still don’t have much energy. I’ll need a long period of rest.”

“Ning’er, now that you are the empress, it’s time for you to go to the Hongmeng Palace and pray for your blessings. “This is something that all emperors and emperors have to do, and it cannot be ignored. Now that the ministers and court officials are criticizing, I will arrange for you to be sent to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for your blessings.”

Ji Tian Ning then wrapped her arms around Shang Qiuyuan’s neck, “Honestly speaking, won’t the two of us have a chance to be by ourselves once we arrive at the Hongmeng Palace? There’s no need to put so much effort into this anymore?”

“Ning’er, do you miss me so much?”

Shang Qiuyuan chuckled, lowering his head to Ji Tian Ning’s neck as he whispered into Ji Tian Ning’s ear, “It was arranged by me. You should understand.”

Ji Tian Ning became excited as she nodded her head, “Oh right, Qiu Yuan, he wants to see you.”

Shang Qiuyuan’s body stiffened. “The emperor wishes to see me?”

“Yes, he said he wanted to see you a few days ago. I said you were busy with national affairs, so I asked him to wait a few days.”

“We’ll meet sooner or later. Your majesty the Emperor summoned me. As his subject, do I dare not to be summoned?”

“Then let’s go. He’ll probably wake up soon.”

Ji Tian Ning led Shang Qiuyuan out of the study room. In order to prevent others from criticizing her, she would choose to stay in the study room every time she saw Shang Qiuyuan. Even so, it was difficult to avoid people secretly spying on her.

“Has the emperor woken up?”

“Reporting to the Empress, the Emperor has just woken up and is currently having his meal.”

Ji Tian Ning walked in, leaning on her head as she ate. When she saw Ji Tian Ning walk in, she revealed a weak smile. “Are you free to accompany me today?”

“You’ve lost a lot of weight again.”

Looking at the pale and thin face of the Fiery-Scaled Beast, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was as if he felt pity for it and also felt an inexplicable emotion.

“Shang Qiuyuan has been summoned for an audience.”

“Let him in.”

“To pass on the position of audience to Qiuyuan.”

Following the call, Shang Qiuyuan strode into the room, a thick medicinal smell wafting into his nostrils. “This subject, Shang Qiuyuan, pays his respects to the Emperor. I should have come to see the Emperor a long time ago. I heard that the Emperor’s dragon body is resting, so I didn’t dare to come and disturb you.”

Huo Ni Lin gently drank the congee in his bowl and said, “All of you can leave now.”

After everyone left, Ji Tianning stood up as well, “Your monarch has something to say, so I won’t be accompanying you.”

“Empress, if you have anything to say, you should avoid it. Take a seat.”

Ji Tian Ning lazily sat down. “At least you’re smart. Even if you avoid me, I wouldn’t know what you guys are talking about, right?”

“Get up.”

“Thank you, your majesty.”

Shang Qiuyuan stood up, sighing in his heart. That cold and arrogant Sovereign King who once dominated the battlefield was actually so sickly and weak at this moment.

“Fangyuan is peaceful, Southern Champion is peaceful, my beloved official must have done a great service.”

“This is my duty, I dare not take credit for it.”

Shang Qiuyuan was still indifferent and calm. His gaze fell on the hands of the Flaming Scaled Beast, which had its veins bulged out. He wondered what would happen if its body was healthy and healthy.

“After the return of my beloved one, there is a lot of work to be done in the country. My body is currently unwell and I don’t have much energy. Everything my beloved one does is for me to work hard. I heard that the borders have been unsettled recently.

“This official has already dispatched troops. Please be at ease, Your Majesty. We will definitely stabilize the border and wipe out all bandits.”

“That’s great. My beloved one is courageous and scheming. He is a famous general of this world. With my beloved one here, I am at ease.”

“This subject does not dare to say anything. I can only hope that Your Majesty will recover soon.”

“Recuperate soon …”

His dim gaze fell upon Shang Qiuyuan. Other than his silver hair, this refined man seemed to have not changed much from when he first met him. It was just that his body now possessed the calmness and confidence from experiencing trials and tribulations, as well as the killing intent and decisiveness.

“The Venerable One has changed a lot.”

“No matter how this subject changes, it is always the emperor’s official. You have to do your best to help the emperor share his worries.”

He stared at Shang Qiuyuan for a while, and every day, there would be people who would secretly report to him about the matters of the Imperial Court. As a result, he also knew about the major events that had occurred in the Southern Champion City.

However, due to the lack of energy in his body, he did not interfere with his decision. Instead, he secretly watched everything that happened.

Ji Tian Ning would tell him about the changes in the imperial court and the major events that had been decided by Ji Tian Ning. Shang Qiuyuan returning to court was somewhat out of his expectations. Looking at this man that even he could not see through, he secretly guessed Shang Qiuyuan’s intentions.

“Did he go back to court because of his vow to be loyal to me, or because of some other plan?”

The silence in the room was eerie, Huo Ni Lin did not speak, and Shang Qiuyuan was not in a position to say anything. Ji Tian Ning sensed the tension in the air and smiled, “Why is the emperor not speaking? Is there a decree? ”

The corner of Huo Ni Lin’s mouth twitched as he looked at Ji Tian Ning with a gentle gaze. He had to admit that Ji Tian Ning’s actions had greatly exceeded his expectations since he had fainted.

Under Ji Tian Ning’s control, the Ancestral Dragon’s chaos finally subsided. This was also the reason why he was willing to hand over the imperial government to Ji Tian Ning.

“My beloved one is loyal to the country, loyal to the heart. I am very comforted, so I will entrust everything to you.”

Shang Qiuyuan fell to his knees. “This subject will not disappoint Your Majesty’s entrustment. We should expend too much wisdom and share His Majesty’s worries.”

“That’s great. I’m tired. You may leave.”

Shang Qiuyuan saluted and then left, leaving behind only Huo Ni Lin and Ji Tian Ning.

“Ning’er, is Zhen’s body unable to recover?”

Feeling powerless and exhausted, the reverse scale was unwilling, extremely unwilling. He was only thirty years old, how could he be sick? There were too many things he had yet to do, too many concerns.

“Is there anything more important than health?”

Ji Tian Ning felt a bit helpless. “You should know that the most important thing is your body. Now that the situation has stabilized, what else do you have to worry about?”

“How is the Queen Mother?”

“I’ve already sent the empress dowager back to the palace for good service. If you’re worried, you can come over and let me show you.”

Huo Ni Lin shook his head and said, “Let mother live the rest of her life. Ning’er, don’t blame me. Please don’t blame me.”

His eyes suddenly lit up as he stared straight at Ji Tian Ning. Ji Tian Ning’s heart trembled, but she still had a bewitching smile on her face, “Your Majesty, what are you worried about? One must know that I am the Empress of the Emperor and the child in my womb is the crown prince. In the future, I will hand over the Southern Champion to him. ”

“It’s good that you understand. This Emperor wants to rest. You should go rest as well.”
