The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Xiao Mingzhao's eyes widened.

She found it unbelievable; the Takuba Shota in front of her was completely different from the Takuba Shota she knew and imagined.

The previous Shota Takuba wasn't like this.

He was aloof and elegant, always appearing as a refined gentleman. He was never arrogant or impatient in his actions, which made people feel an irresistible liking for him.

But now...

Why does it feel like Tuoba Xiang has changed so much?!

A sense of absurdity welled up in Xiao Mingzhao's heart, as if all her hopes and wishes for many years had been in vain, nothing but a dream, all her own beautiful imagination.

But then, Xiao Mingzhao shook his head again.

After waiting and hoping for so many years, the moment of ripeness and blossoming flowers has finally arrived. How can we easily deny it?!

"It must be because Shota is new to the capital, and this is where he was once a hostage. It's inevitable that he'll feel some fear, which is why he's acting so out of control!"

Xiao Mingzhao tried to comfort himself.

Yet, a feeling of pity arose in my heart.

Pity for Takuba Shota.

Thinking of the many hardships that Takuba Shota had suffered, she felt a little sad, but quickly composed herself.

She said softly, "Alright, Shota, since you insist that I stay, then I will stay."

"However, I must tell you beforehand that we in the Great Yu Dynasty place the utmost importance on etiquette. Before the marriage, you are not allowed to do anything to me."

"No problem, no problem!" Tuoba Xiang hurriedly agreed. As long as Xiao Mingzhao was willing to stay with him and be by his side forever, he would even be willing to not touch Xiao Mingzhao.

He was overjoyed, and his face beamed with joy.

His mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head in a wide grin.

He quickly arranged a room for Xiao Mingzhao to rest and sleep in.

Xiao Mingzhao was more familiar with the Imperial Palace than Tuoba Xiangtai. However, Tuoba Xiangtai was clever after all. He had already memorized most of it after just one visit with Xiao Mingzhao.

A room was quickly found for Xiao Mingzhao.

After looking around with considerable satisfaction, he waved his hand and said to his men, "Men, immediately seal the windows. I will not allow any man to see my Luan'er's face again!"

The barbarian guards who followed him broke out in a cold sweat.

They were seasoned veterans and had served under many barbarian leaders, but they were the first to make such a request.

Moreover, there is another problem.

where are they?

They're men too!

If they stayed behind to seal the doors and windows, it would be easy to spot Xiao Mingzhao!

Soon, the guards found out.

because……

They were dragged to a corner of the Imperial Palace, where a curved blade was placed against their necks. With a "thud," they, along with the followers brought by Xiao Mingzhao, also passed away.

Xiao Mingzhao did not see this scene.

But what they saw were the newly sealed doors and windows, turning this magnificent bedroom into a place where one could only see a shadow by lighting a candle.

Xiao Mingzhao frowned: "Shota, what are you doing?"

"It's so other men won't see you!" Tuoba Xiangtai murmured as if in a dream. "Luan'er, you don't know, all the women in the world combined can't compare to a single hair on your head. How could I bear to let others see such a stunning beauty as you?"

"From now on, will you let me watch it all by myself?"

This is a rehash of an old story.

Xiao Mingzhao had already forgiven Tuoba Xiangtai's actions, but now that he was actually going to do it, Xiao Mingzhao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

However, before she could say anything more, she saw Takuba Shota take something out of nowhere.

It must have been made entirely of gold, or at least plated with gold, gleaming with a unique, dreamlike luster under candlelight, but…

Even more terrifying!

because……

That's a chain!

A long gold chain!

Xiao Mingzhao subconsciously took a step back, her voice trembling slightly: "Xiangtai, what are you going to do with this?"

"I'll tie you up!"

This time, Shota Takuba no longer hid his intentions, displaying a sense of relief that came with victory in his grasp: "After I tie you up with this chain, you can stay by my side forever."

"From this day forward, you will never leave me again!"

"Luan'er, I truly cannot bear to see you leave me even for a moment. In this life and for all eternity, I will never bear to see you leave me even for a moment!"

"Would you please wear this gold chain obediently?"

At that moment, Xiao Mingzhao felt a wave of fear wash over him, and he couldn't help but tremble all over as he cried out, "No, no, Tuoba Xiangtai, how could you do this?"

"How could you be this kind of person?"

"I am the mighty Empress, the Empress of the Great Yu Dynasty!"

"The ruler of a nation!"

"Lord of all people!"

"How dare you, how dare you subject me to such humiliation?"

Tuoba Xiangtai seemed to ignore Xiao Mingzhao's roar. He waved his hand, and two barbarian women walked in from outside.

It was clearly prepared by Tuoba Xiangtai specifically for Xiao Mingzhao.

After entering, following Tuoba Xiangtai's instructions, they held Xiao Mingzhao down. Soon, with a few "clicks," golden rings were encircled around Xiao Mingzhao's neck and hands.

After the two maids finished doing this, they quickly left.

Only Takuba Shota and Xiao Mingzhao remained inside.

At this moment, Tuoba Xiangtai was trembling with excitement. His long-cherished wish had finally come true, and he felt like he was about to explode with excitement.

Xiao Mingzhao felt a chill rise from her tailbone, which shot straight to her head. Feeling the coldness from the golden chain, she was filled with fear for the first time.

This fear was more overwhelming and intense than ever before, like a mighty river that threatened to engulf her in an instant.

My teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

"Takuba Shota, how could you... how could you do this?"

How could you do this?

Perhaps overwhelmed by fear, tears welled up in Xiao Mingzhao's eyes, glistening against her snow-white skin, making her appear both disheveled and exquisitely beautiful.

"You can't do this!"

Xiao Mingzhao's appearance made Tuoba Xiangtai a little flustered. However, remembering Xiao Mingzhao's constant reminders about the importance of proper etiquette, Tuoba Xiangtai did not dare to rush up and hug Xiao Mingzhao.

He stamped his foot in frustration, then said, "Luan'er, I... I just love you too much!"

"Haven't you been telling me that all along!"

"What's wrong with loving someone?"

"I just love you too much!"

"I didn't do anything wrong, I couldn't have done anything wrong. I just wanted you to stay by my side forever. What did I do wrong?"

"From now on, let's stay like this forever, okay? You'll always be by my side, and I'll feed you, wash your face, cover you with a blanket, and even help you with official business."

Didn't you say that?

"We share this world!"

"From now on, I will handle all the government affairs for you, and I will surely build the world into a harmonious and prosperous place where the Yu and Han peoples are not separated!"

"What do you say, okay?"
