"Didn't you say you were much better yesterday?" Lan Ning followed behind Bian Zhao. She was not often in the palace, so she naturally didn't know about the empress's illness. Besides, she didn't care about it. Now she wanted to pay her respects to the empress, so she had to ask first.

Bian Zhao looked haggard. He heard that Furou had given birth to two daughters and was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.

Then someone who sneaked into Hengyue's team brought news, confirming that the disaster in the Swamp Land was related to Furou, which made him even more worried.

Bian Zhao didn't want to tell the empress about these things, but he just couldn't bear to see Fu Rou's father showing off his arrogance. Who knew that the empress's illness became even worse after she knew about it.

Bian Zhao was very scared when he couldn't get out of bed.

The overall situation is still undecided, and the empress must not allow anything to happen.

The orcs value offspring, and now Furou's status in the empress's heart is not as high as before. This is a good time for Lan Ning to make his presence felt.

Bian Zhao knew that Lan Ning had a grudge in her heart and refused to admit that the empress was her mother, but Bian Zhao always felt that it would be better for her to stay with the empress at this time.

Bian Zhao sighed, "In fact, the Empress's health has not been very good since the year you were born."

The empress was a very gentle person. She loved each of her children deeply. It was a pity that she had to deal with such an unlucky person like Furou. The empress always thought that it was because she had made the Beast God angry, so the children left her one after another.

Over time, the empress's health collapsed.

Bian Zhao remembered that day when he hurried back to the palace and saw the haggard appearance of the empress. He had never seen the empress so sad and depressed. The shock he felt was no less than knowing that he still had a daughter in the world.

He had not witnessed Lan Ning's growth, but just seeing his daughter covered in bruises was heartbreaking.

But what about the empress? She knew that it was her beloved daughter who killed her siblings for the throne, but she spoiled her without knowing it. How would she feel when she knew the truth?

Being born in the royal family means one will always suffer grievances. Bian Zhao doesn't want his daughter to always be the one who suffers grievances. He has had many complaints about the empress during this period, but when he thinks about it carefully, it is not entirely the empress's fault.

Being on the throne is also a dilemma. If the empress was just an ordinary wife, she would not have so many concerns.

"Father knows that you don't have many feelings for the empress, but now, father wants to persuade you to at least be gentle to her during this period of time, okay?" Bian Zhao rarely bowed his head to give advice.

Lan Ning remained silent. She had not completely unexpected the complexity of the matter.

There are two ways for her to become a princess. One is to make Wan Jing submit to her, and the other is to learn from Fu Rou and make Wan Jing the only princess.

The second one seems impossible at the moment.

The only option left for her is the first one, but this presupposes that the empress is still alive. If something unexpected happens... she will probably have to go to war with Furou.

She has Xuan Heng behind her, and also has the support of several nobles. If a real fight breaks out, Fu Rou may not be her opponent, but the most incomprehensible thing about the opponent is the halo of the heroine.

And this time Hengyue went to the Swamp Land again, a place that Lan Ning was completely unfamiliar with, and there were all kinds of poisons and plagues...

"Is there anything in the system mall that can counter the secret poison techniques of the Swamp Land and the Dian Poison Country?" Lan Ning asked.

Perfect Xiaoliu: "These are all secret methods of the World of Beasts. There is nothing in the system mall that can counter them. You can only rely on you to find a specific antidote."

Lan Ning sighed, "Is there any medicine that can cure the empress's disease?"

Perfect Xiaoliu: "There is a reversal elixir that can restore a dying person's physical condition to the time when they were healthiest. But a friendly reminder, in the original storyline, the empress died around this time. If you forcibly reverse the storyline, it will cause the prices in the mall to increase."

what?

It was the first time for Lan Ning to know about such a thing as arbitrarily raising prices. She couldn't help but open the mall, and Wanmei Xiaoliu kindly recommended the products with increased prices to her.

[Backtracking Pill: Literally, it means going back in time~]

[Purchase points: Do I need to purchase? ]

Lan Ning carefully counted the zeros after the three. Five?

"You guys are a bit too unfair. Three hundred thousand points? I've been doing the mission for such a long time and I still don't have three hundred thousand." Lan Ning couldn't help but complain.

Perfect Xiaoliu: "There is no other way. To reverse the situation, we need to give a reasonable explanation to the leaders above..."

Reasonable means 300,000 points?

Lan Ning hesitated for a moment.

"Switch it." After weighing the pros and cons, Lan Ning still felt that he had to save the empress's life. "But can you increase the capacity of the side quests?"

Points flowed like water and could not sustain her spending at all.

Perfect Xiaoliu: "I will consult with my superiors about this."

[Congratulations on successfully exchanging the Backtracking Pill. The remaining points are -. Please keep up the good work~]

Lan Ning quietly hid the pill, thinking of finding a good time to secretly feed it to the empress later.

-

Fengluan Hall.

Lan Ning followed Bian Zhao to the empress's bedside. Several nobles in gorgeous clothes were serving her with frowns on their faces. When they saw her, their faces suddenly turned dark.

"It turns out that His Highness Lan Ning still remembers that he has a mother." One of the nobles said sarcastically while holding a bowl of medicine.

Bian Zhao glanced at him twice, then took his daughter and walked straight to the empress, "Your Majesty, Lan Ning is here."

The woman lying on the bed, barely breathing, slowly opened her eyes. She looked in the direction of Bian Zhao with difficulty, and her lifeless eyes caught a glimpse of the slender dark blue figure.

"Lan... Ning..." The empress wanted to call Lan Ning to sit next to her. She wanted to sit up and take a good look at her daughter, but she couldn't do it at this time.

Bian Zhao glanced at his daughter who looked indifferent, and carefully pulled her sleeve, "Lan Ning, let's go over and take a look."

Lan Ning paused, then she obediently stepped forward and took a clear look at the pale-faced woman on the bed. She looked so haggard after just two days of not seeing her.

A dead look on the face, this is what I mean!

"Lan Ning greets His Majesty." She still stubbornly refused to call the Empress Mother.

The noble lady holding the medicine bowl could not bear to watch any longer and cursed in a low voice: "Even though you are now a princess and have a pair of heterochromatic eyes, how can you treat your mother so badly?"

Lan Ning glanced at him, stepped forward and took the medicine bowl in his hand, "Then you can leave, I'll take care of the rest."

The moment she turned around, she threw the pill hidden in her hand into the bowl, and under the murderous gaze of the noble man, she sat beside the empress's bed holding the bowl of medicine.

"We will take care of the rest." Bian Zhao also drove him away.

"I'm just outside the door." He didn't dare to leave the empress's safety to Lan Ning. He looked back every few steps and stood at the door very worriedly, his eyes always watching the movements here, as if as long as Lan Ning made the slightest movement, he would rush up immediately.

Lan Ning held the medicine bowl and looked at the fragile appearance of the empress, feeling deeply moved.

"You're here." The empress took several breaths before she finished saying these three words. She wanted to open her eyes and look at Lan Ning, but found that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Lan Ning was much gentler towards her, "Let me help you drink the medicine."

Bian Zhao hurried forward to help the empress up. He waited patiently for Lan Ning to feed her medicine, but saw Lan Ning dismiss the puppet palace maids in the hall and took out a dagger from his sleeve.
