Escaped Medical Concubine - C278
“Lord Left Premier, what is the meaning of this?” This humble servant originally thought that His Majesty would take away Shang Qiuyuan’s military power or hold him in the air, but he never thought that His Majesty would put so much importance on Shang Qiuyuan now. ”
“Exactly, the current power of Shang Qiuyuan is no less than the original palace that stood shoulder to shoulder with him for nine days. “Lord Left Premier, why didn’t Your Majesty pay any heed to our secret music?”
“Sin, sinner, you still don’t understand?” His Majesty had long since been bewitched by that evil concubine. How could he possibly keep all of our suggestions in his heart? If this goes on, Shang Qiuyuan will definitely become the second palace’s Nine Heavens. The Southern Champion is in danger, we’re in danger! ”
“Although on the surface, I have submitted to the evil concubine, in reality, I have kept this useful body, served the Southern Champion, and served the Emperor with all my loyalty. Now, however, the Emperor was bewitched by the evildoers, and everything was according to the words of the seductress, and he placed great importance on Shang Qiuyuan. “When we fear the king’s business, let us not be bewitched by the evil sorcery, let us admonish the king.”
“Lord Left Premier’s words are reasonable. However, the miracle was acknowledged by the master of the grandmist palace. A true god gave birth to a miracle that is rarely seen in a thousand years. Now, the empress has given a debt of gratitude to those commoners.”
“That’s right, the daughter of a true god, Feng Xiang Jiu. If we go against the divine order of a true god, then we will definitely be punished by the heavens!”
When True Gods were mentioned, everyone’s faces revealed expressions of reverence. The might of a True God caused them to feel endless fear. If it wasn’t for this, they wouldn’t have only secretly played the music to demand that the imperial position of the former emperor be taken. They would have joined forces with Ji Tian Ning to request for the empress to form a new emperor.
Because the order to establish the empress was issued by Ji Tian Ning in place of the Fiery-Inverted Scales, at the beginning, many people thought that it was the emperor’s muddled life or that Ji Tian Ning had stolen the imperial seal and forged the edict while the Fiery-Inverted Scales was unconscious.
However, Han Xing and the others proved that this was the Emperor’s orders and that there was no hypocrisy in it.
If not for the support of these generals who held military power, Ji Tian Ning would not have been able to sit in the position of empress. There was no need to talk about dealing with the imperial government.
With the support of the governor of the imperial guards and the commanders of the imperial guards, as well as the support of the remaining forces of the King of Shoulder, the deputy chief of the imperial guards and the others, Ji Tian Ning was now firmly seated in the position of Empress.
After that, when Shang Qiuyuan returned with his army, there was no one who dared to object. Only when Ji Tian Ning entered the Hongmeng Palace to pray and pay her respects to the sacred land did the miracle of the Phoenix Soaring Through the Nine Heavens appear.
However, there were still some people who were unwilling to accept this. For example, the officials who could not afford to lose, as well as those from aristocratic families, hated Ji Tian for using a new disciple and implementing the imperial examinations to select talents in this world.
And the implementation of the Ten National Policies had undoubtedly greatly harmed the interests of the aristocrats and aristocratic families. A large portion of the previously idle land was taken over by the state and distributed to the commoners for farming.
Generations of officials were mostly appointed by noble or aristocratic families. It was difficult for ordinary people to obtain a position, especially for those with good jobs or high positions. All of them came from aristocratic or official families.
Accepting people for free had already greatly harmed the interests of the nobles and official families. Recently, when He Yuchuan was introduced, Ji Tian Ning had carried out imperial examinations and appointed a large number of civilians without a family background. There were also many people who entered the imperial court and became powerful ministers. Some of them were not the Southern Champion, and Ji Tian Ning did not stop thinking highly of them because of this.
Withdrawing the idle land. This move was praised by all the commoners in the Southern Champion Kingdom. However, it made all the nobles and wealthy families grind their teeth in hatred.
Fortunately, the cold-blooded king, Fire Inverted Scale, was here, and no one dared to publicly jump out to oppose it. The memorial flew like a snowflake onto the table of the Fire Inverse Scale, respectfully requesting for your order to be retracted.
All of these reports were ignored by the Fiery Inverted Scale. It used a cold-blooded method to capture, kill, and cause no one to dare to oppose it anymore. They could only silently grit their teeth.
Seeing that their bodies had recovered and were dealing with the imperial government anew, Ji Tian Ning and the rest retreated behind the scenes. They thought they could make a comeback. Therefore, they had been plotting.
“Ai, if there weren’t any miracles, we could use the words’ sinful witch ‘to request that the emperor cripple the empress and create another empress. Now, who would dare to go against the True God’s divine edict, let alone such a grand miracle that had never been seen in a thousand years? Since the Emperor has taken the Goddess as his daughter, how could he cripple her? ”
“It must be that evildoer’s magic. It can’t be a miracle. How could a true god protect a barbarian witch and bestow a miracle upon a evildoer?”
Even though he had expressed his wholehearted support in front of Ji Tian Ning, how could Ji Tian Ning not understand his thoughts? Hence, she refused to use him again.
“Sir, this was witnessed by the host of the grandmist palace with his own eyes. There is no way he would dare to speak carelessly.”
“It must have been that evildoer’s methods that fooled the host of the grandmist palace and used his spells to create such a commotion. He used this to control the Southern Champion as well as the Emperor. The heavens descended upon the demons from the Southern Champion Kingdom. The Southern Champion Kingdom was in danger. We shall not be deceived by that sinful concubine for the matter of us eating the monarch’s salary and being loyal to the monarch. ”
“However, right now, the emperor obeys Empress’s words and attaches great importance to Shang Qiuyuan, bestowing him the title of King to protect him. “Shang Qiuyuan has taken back the king’s military power, and he even possesses the troops from Yuanyuan. What can we do about it?”
The secret discussions between Yong Xianyun and the others were so secretive that no one knew about them. However, they didn’t know that a black shadow was lying on the roof, clearly listening to every word of their discussion.
“Replying to the Empress, Yong Xianyun and the others plotted against you, all with the intention of harming the Empress …”
The Dark Guard told Ji Tian Ning about the plot of the three leaders, and also reported it to the Fiery Inverted Scale.
A bright light flashed across his eyes. It was true that he was a talented man, but if this man’s talent was used against her, it would be a disaster.
After listening to the Dark Guard’s report, Ji Tian Ning smiled. This was within her expectations. Hence, she ordered the Hidden Hidden Hand to keep an eye on them from time to time.
“Has the emperor ever rested?”
“Reporting to the Empress, the Emperor has not rested yet. He is currently reading the imperial reports.”
“Very well, have you reported this to the Emperor?”
“I’ve already reported back to the Emperor.”
Ji Tian Ning stood up and ordered someone to bring the soup from the kitchen and brought it to the royal study.
“Why is the time given to me so little?”
Because of how precious time was, the Fiery-Scaled Tiger treasured its limited time even more and busied itself with dealing with the political affairs of the imperial court every day. He woke up early in the morning and went to sleep late. His face was even thinner, and traces of blood could be seen in his deep eyes.
“Reporting to your majesty, the empress has brought the emperor ginseng soup.”
Huo Ni Lin smiled. He understood that Ji Tian Ning didn’t come to send him back for the soup. She must have come for the matter regarding him. The hidden guards had been arranged by Ji Tianning. Upon receiving the news, he had to report to the two of them as well.
“It’s already so late, why aren’t you resting? Your body is more important, you can’t finish all the work, don’t work so hard.”
Under the light, Huo Ni Lin’s face had a touch of devilish red, his sunken eye sockets revealing his haggard exterior and strong, yet dry at the same time. Ji Tian Ning’s heart tightened. She had been trying to figure out what kind of medicine the reverse scale had taken, but because of the death of the imperial physician’s order, she didn’t know the details of the drug.
It was impossible to develop an antidote in a short period of time. It was as if he had signed a contract with the Grim Reaper, using all of his remaining energy in exchange for a short period of liveliness.
Burning one’s life as the price, releasing the final radiance, once consumed, all other drugs would have no effect.
Ji Tian Ning felt a slight headache. He placed the ginseng soup on the table. Huo Ni Lin reached out to grab Ji Tian Ning’s hand, but Ji Tian Ning withdrew her hand and dodged it.
“Take a rest. Your head won’t be able to take it.”
“You’ve worked hard. It doesn’t matter to me. Ning’er, is there no way to prolong my life?” Even if it’s just to let me take a look at my son. ”
At this moment, the reverse fire scale didn’t dare to hope for a few more years and only wished to have a look at its child.
“He looks like you, almost exactly like you. I just hope he’s not as ruthless as you are.”
“How do you know how my son looks like?”
“Because I know.”
“It’s already so late, you should also take a good rest. Are you here to find me for the matter with Yong Lianyun?”
“Exactly, the imperial court has just stabilized. It is not suitable for a change to occur. “Although Yong Lianyun is a talent, if he were to use his talent in an unorthodox way, he will be in big trouble.”
“He is still very loyal to me. It’s just that he was suppressed by you and didn’t receive much attention. That’s why he has his complaints.”
“This matter can be big or small. It doesn’t matter even if he complains. However, I’ve already given him a chance. He still doesn’t know what’s good for him and has contacted quite a few people. “If this goes on, then the hearts of those who have rendered meritorious service will turn cold. This will give these vile people an opportunity. I wonder how you plan to deal with this matter.”
Huo Ni Lin pondered for a moment and said, “I will consider this matter, but you don’t have to worry about it. You have to know that after a few more days, my son will be born. Rest well.”
The smile formed a charming arc. Just now, when he moved his heart, he knew what the reverse scale was thinking.
A strange rainbow-colored light flashed in his pupils, just like the magical light in the depths of the crystal skull’s eye sockets.
The reverse fire scale was stunned and its eyes were dim. After being controlled by Ji Tian Ning once, it became much easier to control it once more.
“Yong Xianyun and his men plotted against us. We should dismiss them and lock them up in the Celestial Prison to reflect on our wrongdoings …”
“This is how it should be.”
Ji Tian Ning bitterly smiled. She didn’t want to control the Fire Lin beast like this, but if she didn’t, the consequences would be severe.
“You are tired, very tired. You should go have a good rest. In the future, you should stop handling national affairs and rest well every night after the ninetieth hour.”
“This Emperor is very tired. It’s time to rest.”
Huo Ni Lin slowly stood up and walked towards the couch. Ji Tian Ning called two people in to help Huo Ni Lin sleep. As he looked at his former handsome face, there was an indescribable exhaustion and haggard expression on his face. There was a slight tremble and a hidden pain in his heart. This man who was so important to her life was running out of time. He would die before she could even see the baby.
“I despise you, true god. No matter who you are, I’ve never seen a scoundrel like you before. What was this? You solved half of the problem for me? ”
She fiercely cursed a few words at the True God in her heart. Even eating meat at the grandmist palace, this scoundrel would choose her. Scolding her a few words wasn’t too big of a deal.
“No, I still want to make a trip to the sacred grounds of the Grandmist Palace. I want to take a closer look and study it with that scoundrel to see if I can accommodate him.” For that matter, it’s best to temporarily not tell Qiu Yuan about it. I’m not ready yet, and I don’t know how to say it.
Thinking of that difficult problem, Ji Tian Ning’s face turned into a bitter melon as he walked out.
Due to conspiracy to rebel, desecration to the true God, and spreading rumors about the defamatory of the Goddess, Yong Lianyun and the rest were imprisoned in the Sky Prison. Their sin was not as good as their families’.
At this point, the people of Yong Lianyun’s group drew a stop at the imperial court in the Southern Champion Hall.
The news shocked everyone. He was a highly valued minister who had been walking the tightrope between the Emperor and the Shoulder King for the past seven years. The officials were all horrified and did not dare to criticize him anymore.
Huo Ni Lin was strict with his orders and carried out ten national policies. There were those who slackened, those who defied the rules, those who obstructed him, those who took responsibility would be executed, and those who were lenient would be punished. At the same time, he had used cold-blooded and cold-blooded methods to deal with a few nobles who disobeyed his decree. Thus, the national policy was quickly carried out.
