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

Xiao Mingzhao struggled in vain, and her heart collapsed.

Tuoba Xiangtai saw it all and kept it in mind, but he also knew that this matter needed to be worked out slowly, and that it would be fine once Xiao Mingzhao gradually accepted him.

He was completely devoted to Xiao Mingzhao, and one day, Xiao Mingzhao would understand his good intentions and be willing to stay with him forever.

then,

Takuba Shota didn't press him too much. He walked out the door but didn't leave. He just stayed there at the door all night, freezing like a grandson, without ever leaving.

By the next morning, Xiao Mingzhao, who had collapsed all night, had fallen asleep leaning against the bedside, while Tuoba Xiangtai, who had also not slept all night, was full of energy.

He rushed to the kitchen and personally cooked breakfast for Xiao Mingzhao.

Even the clothes he personally prepared for Xiao Mingzhao when he arrived were washed by him.

After everything was ready, they sent it inside to Xiao Mingzhao.

"Luan'er, would you like something to eat?"

"Don't let yourself get sick from starving!"

Xiao Mingzhao woke up at the slightest sound and screamed, "Let me go!"

With that struggle, the gold chain rattled.

Tuoba Xiangtai shook his head, not continuing the topic, and said instead, "Luan'er, this is all out of my heart, something I made for you myself."

"Have a bite!"

Seeing that Xiao Mingzhao remained unmoved and even looked like she was about to cry again, Tuoba Xiangtai panicked and had no choice but to retreat again.

Before long, a maidservant from the imperial guards came to report that the ministers of the Great Yu were demanding their empress at the gate!

After all, Xiao Mingzhao hadn't returned all night, so how could those ministers sit still?

Faced with these people, Takuba Shota instantly regained his composure. After thinking for a moment, he straightened his clothes and strode out.

At the entrance of Yu Chen Mansion, he smiled, like a handsome young gentleman, with elegant demeanor and extraordinary bearing: "Everyone, Luan'er has settled in my mansion and said she will stay for a while."

"If you need anything in the future, just hand over the folded paper."

"As for persuading His Majesty to return to the palace, let's not mention it again. Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't have the time these days!"

Before the ministers could cause a commotion, he returned to his residence.

He peered into Xiao Mingzhao's room and waited until Xiao Mingzhao's emotions had calmed down a bit, or at least she had stopped crying, before gently pushing the door open and going inside.

"Luan'er, I'll have the ministers send over the folded paper."

"From now on, I'll help you with national affairs."

"You don't need to work so hard."

"You should get some rest!"

Xiao Mingzhao shouted again, "Let me leave!"

This shout was earth-shattering.

The grievances she had suffered throughout the night poured out like a flood bursting its banks, filling Xiao Mingzhao with endless anger and regret.

She couldn't understand why the person she loved had become like this.

However, Shota Koba shook his head slightly.

And so another day passed.

The court officials of Dayu could no longer sit still.

A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day!

This is a matter of great importance to the imperial court, and it cannot be ignored!

Many major events, especially the uproar caused by Lin Yi's son Lin Zixiao in the south, have led to the recruitment of nearly 200,000 troops.

Ren Tianye of Northern Xinjiang has almost taken over the entire Northern Xinjiang region.

It could be said that military affairs were raging every day.

Even the highest officials and ministers dared not make decisions directly.

After trying various methods, there was still no other way but to submit these memorials to the Imperial Palace.

Enraged, the Duke of Zhenguo fainted on the spot. The imperial physicians tried their best to save him, but they could not save the illustrious old general.

However, Takuba Shota successfully obtained the memorial.

He truly keeps his word.

He truly helped Xiao Mingzhao process the memorials.

But how difficult and complicated are the affairs of the state? Even Xiao Mingzhao, who has been in office for many years, has occasionally made mistakes. How could Tuoba Xiangtai, a mere barbarian, possibly understand them?

But Shota Takuba truly put in the effort.

Holding the memorials, he studied and wrote replies every day, sometimes sitting in Xiao Mingzhao's room for eight hours a day, burying himself in the documents and writing meticulously.

He truly treated Dayu as his and Xiao Mingzhao's domain.

This only fueled the excitement among the court officials.

The imperial edicts on the memorials have turned into the handwriting of barbarians?!

In the eight hundred years of the Great Yu Dynasty, when had it ever suffered such humiliation?

"How could Your Majesty do this? Does she really intend to hand over our Great Yu to the barbarians?"

"Although Your Majesty had long harbored this intention, we only took it as a joke. But now that it has come true, the power of imperial decree in the Great Yu Dynasty has fallen entirely into the hands of the barbarians. How will we face the late Emperor in the afterlife?"

"Colleagues, let's think of a solution. We can't let His Majesty stay in the Imperial Palace indefinitely. He's already become a laughingstock. Do we want the Great Yu Dynasty to collapse because of this?"

……

Countless loyal ministers were abuzz with discussion.

They were all quite indignant.

But there was nothing they could do. After all, in their view, Xiao Mingzhao wouldn't even show his face, so they didn't even have a chance to persuade him in person!

And so, they just kept arguing.

One day, two days, three days, five days, ten days...

The courtiers suddenly fell silent and stopped arguing.

Since Xiao Mingzhao hadn't shown up for so long, anyone who wasn't completely stupid would have realized that something was wrong.

A thought arose in everyone's mind.

But no one dared to say it aloud.

They could only think of a roundabout way, and soon, they came up with a solution by talking to Lu Qing.

"General Lu, you command the Imperial Guards. His Majesty has been missing for ten days. You are responsible for guarding the capital. How can you be so careless?"

"We must find a way to get His Majesty back to the palace."

Lu Qing is currently riding high, with a significant promotion in his official position and a thriving love life. He has even adopted Lu Jun as his son. He is in the midst of a blissful and tender period, and has no time to think about anything else.

He immediately replied, "Your Majesty and Prince Tuoba have not seen each other for many years. Now that they have met, they naturally do not want to be apart. As their subject, how can I separate them?"

Lu Qing completely ignored these old fogies who didn't understand love, and simply closed the door to enjoy his happy family life with his wife and child.

Thus, Xiao Mingzhao's disappearance gradually lasted for fifteen days, twenty days, and thirty days!

A full month.

If it weren't for the occasional traces of Xiao Mingzhao's handwriting on the memorials, these ministers would have all assumed that Xiao Mingzhao had been murdered.

Can,

Even so, this is not a solution.

Xiao Mingzhao stayed in the Imperial Palace and refused to come out no matter what.

Is writing memorials and handling important matters every day what an emperor of a dynasty should be doing?

In a state of panic, the ministers held several private meetings before finally bringing the matter to the forefront.

Three people were selected based on the recommendations of the court officials.

One of them is Lu Qing.

The ministers forcibly broke down the door and dragged him out of his elder brother's room and from Ruyue's bed.

The second is the prime minister.

The third one should have been the Duke of Zhenguo.

However, the Duke of Zhenguo has passed away, and his children can take his place. The Duke of Zhenguo has only one daughter, named Gu Qingyue, who serves as the commander of the Imperial Guards in the court.
