Ruyue's face was also deathly pale, almost as pale as that of the young master Lu Jun. After all, Ruyue had witnessed her son kill Ren Tianchao!

Although she didn't understand what had happened, her son, holding a knife, had fallen out of the carriage, covered in blood...

This is a sure thing!

This left Ruyue feeling weak all over, and like Young Master Lu Jun, she fell to the ground.

Ren Tianye kindly helped her up, sighing, "Originally, I didn't want to make things difficult for the young master, but there's nothing I can do; my brother's life is also a life!"

"Since ancient times, a life for a life!"

"Lu Jun killed my beloved younger brother, I must kill Lu Jun to avenge him!"

"No, no..." Ruyue cried out in an emergency. Lu Jun, the young master beside her, also reacted and quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, General Ren, I, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to kill the Heavenly Dynasty..."

"I have been friends with the Celestial Empire since childhood. I, I, I don't want to kill him."

"General Ren, please spare my life!"

Ren Tianye completely ignored the commotion caused by the young master Lu Jun, and instead looked at Ruyue, who immediately begged for mercy: "Don't kill my son, don't kill my son..."

"Do you feel so sorry for your son?" Ren Tianye said, "It's not like there's no way."

Ruyue's eyes lit up instantly; she sensed a glimmer of hope. Then she heard Ren Tianye say leisurely, "Whether or not you kill your son depends on your performance!"

What was my performance?

Ruyue instantly realized something, and her face flushed slightly: "I, I, no matter how you look at it, I can be considered your aunt."

"That would be even better!"

……

He rode at breakneck speed, heading straight for the Duke of Fuguo's mansion.

They quickly explained their purpose.

Upon hearing the steward's report, Lu Qing, who had been searching for Ruyue in vain, immediately refused in a cold voice: "Tell the messenger that this general will not receive any of Ren Tianye's people."

This was a strategy devised by Gu Qingyue, the Prime Minister, and himself while Ren Tianye was still leading his army on their way to the capital.

First, teach Ren Tianye a lesson and deflate his arrogance, then invite him into the city. This way, Ren Tianye will be easier to control.

Now that Gu Qingyue hasn't given him a reply, he simply can't be bothered to see Ren Tianye's people!

Moreover, he was anxious and upset because Ruyue had disappeared, and he also felt somewhat resentful.

How could you go missing over such a trivial matter?

They had no desire to see Ren Tianye anymore.

"Master..." the butler said cautiously, "Someone, please show you something else..."

Before the steward could finish speaking, Lu Qing interrupted him rudely, coldly saying, "Does this general lack such a small gift? Let Ren Tianye give up!"

"No, sir..." the butler quickly said, "It's a lock of hair."

"I'm looking at it, and it looks a bit like the lady's hair."

"What?" Lu Qing's expression changed drastically instantly. He grabbed the hair and examined it closely, immediately confirming, "Where are the people?"

"My lord, he has already left, but he left a note asking you to leave the city and visit Ren Tianye's army camp..."

Before the steward could finish speaking, Lu Qing had already dashed out. By the time the steward finished speaking the last word, Lu Qing had already arrived at the gate of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion, mounted his horse, and whipped the horse's rump with reckless abandon, galloping away at breakneck speed.

Now he was in complete control of all the troops in the capital, and the soldiers at the north gate did not dare to stop him, allowing him to smoothly enter Ren Tianye's army camp.

Someone has been assigned to him and is waiting for him.

They immediately took him to one of the large camps.

During this process, Lu Qing was in the midst of Ren Tianye's 100,000-strong army, but he showed no fear whatsoever. In fact, when asked to dismount and remove his weapons, Lu Qing did not even flinch.

Regardless of the circumstances, Lu Qing was incredibly bold!

Upon arriving at the camp, Lu Qing lifted the curtain and went inside.

Then I saw Ren Tianye eating.

The last time we met was in Yunji City.

Ren Tianye defended Yunji City, causing his 70,000-strong Imperial Guard to suffer a great setback, with many casualties. When he left, he left behind 70,000 sets of equipment.

This led him to head south to quell the rebellion, but he suffered a defeat.

Of course, Lu Qing did not regret it.

Having no liking for Ren Tianye whatsoever, she gave a slight snort and then focused her gaze on the woman with her back to him in front of Ren Tianye's desk.

Dressed in plain clothes, with graceful posture, she stood respectfully to the side, offering a face towel or a spittoon, serving with the utmost gentleness.

Lu Qing was in a daze for a while!

"Sigh, if only it were Kisaragi."

"I wouldn't stoop to having a pointless argument with her!"

Thinking this, Lu Qing strode up to Ren Tianye and was about to speak when he suddenly stopped and saw that the woman from before was none other than Ruyue!

No, how could it be Kisaragi?!

It really is like the moon!

Lu Qing took another look, and it collapsed!

It's completely collapsed!

My brain was buzzing, my hands and feet were ice cold, and my body went limp, almost causing me to fall to the ground.

Immediately, all these weaknesses erupted.

Instead, he roared, "Ren Tianye, how dare you! I'll give you the time it takes to brew a cup of tea: release Ruyue!"

Ren Tianye smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, Ruyue, you're free. Go!"

"No!" Ruyue cried out, "General Ren, I won't leave, I won't leave, I absolutely won't leave!"

At this moment, Lu Qing felt the little strength he had managed to regain vanish once again, and he really couldn't stand up anymore.

fell directly to the ground.

Tears streamed down her face as she cried, "Ruyue, Ruyue, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault!"

"I shouldn't have misunderstood you!"

"I shouldn't have misunderstood what you meant!"

I shouldn't have made you leave!

"Please don't just abandon me like this!"

"Will you come back with me?"

"Once we get back, I'll do whatever you say. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I'll pluck them down for you!"

"Don't be angry with me anymore, come back with me!"

Ruyue shook her head, but said, "That's not how it happened. It was my son, Lu Jun, who killed Ren Tianchao!"

"If I don't stay to atone for my sins, my son will die."

Lu Qing frowned.

It seems unlikely. Why would Lu Jun kill Ren Tianchao? The two had always had a good relationship, so how could he possibly kill Ren Tianchao?

There must be some misunderstanding here.

She said, "Ruyue, this must have been a setup by Ren Tianye. He's a really wicked person."

He paused, looked at Ren Tianye, and said coldly, "Ren Tianye, I can give you a chance to explain yourself, and you'd better satisfy me."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Before Ren Tianye could reply, Ruyue quickly said, "Lu Qing, you've misunderstood General Ren."

"My son killed Ren Tianchao!"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"
