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

Lu Qing's brain started buzzing again.

If Ruyue saw it with her own eyes, then there's no denying it.

Lu Jun would have to be suppressed, and Ru Yue would have to be detained.

Ren Tianye is the butcher, and they are the fish on the chopping block?

How could Lu Qing possibly accept this?

He looked coldly at Ren Tianye: "Name your terms, and then let Lu Jun and Ruyue go."

"Don't try to outsmart me, you're not worthy!"

Ren Tianye smiled.

He had a particularly deep memory of Lu Qing's demeanor and posture. He remembered that it was on Yunji City when Lu Qing shouted that he wanted equipment for 70,000 Imperial Guards, and Lu Qing replied with just two words.

"Can!"

Is this exciting moment coming again?

Then you'd have to ask for an even bigger sum.

Therefore, Ren Tianye said, "Control of 200,000 troops!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing did not agree. Instead, he said, "Of course I can hand it over to you. As long as Ruyue is well, these things are nothing."

"Even if I were to hand over control of 200,000 troops to you, even if I were to publicly announce to all the soldiers that I am giving you my position, the Imperial Guards simply wouldn't listen to you!"

Ren Tianye had anticipated this.

After all, the Imperial Guards are fundamentally different from the soldiers who have been through thick and thin in the northern frontier. Moreover, since the Empress is still alive, Lu Qing has no legal right to transfer military power.

Ren Tianye, however, was not in a hurry at all.

Instead, she smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, as long as they listen to you!"

Lu Qing finally understood, his face instantly turning black, and an endless rage surged within him.

Ren Tianye wants to use him as a weapon!

He is Lu Qing, the former second son of the Duke of Fu, now the Duke of Fu, and also the General of the Cavalry of the Great Yu Dynasty.

To be Ren Tianye's scalpel?

Who does Ren Tianye think he is?!

He immediately said coldly, "Ren Tianye, don't even think about it!"

"Then I won't think about it." To Lu Qing's surprise, Ren Tianye got up and left without taking a single cloud with him.

However, before Ren Tianye could leave, Ruyue chased after him, begging to stay. When she realized she couldn't catch up with Ren Tianye, she turned to look at Lu Qing.

His face was filled with despair!

"As expected, you really don't love me!"

"All your previous claims of loving me were lies!"

"You don't understand me, you don't love me, and you won't even protect my child. Are you unhappy that he calls you 'Dad'?"

"My son is so good. He calls you 'Dad,' which saves you the trouble of having another child and doesn't require you to support him. Such a wonderful thing, and you're not happy about it?"

"Fine, fine, I'll just pretend I was blind!"

Lu Qing immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

No, what does this have to do with anything?!

Hurry up and coax him, followed by a series of promises.

"Control of 200,000 troops? Here you go!"

"To be Ren Tianye's scapegoat? Yes, I will!"

"Serve Ren Tianye? Yes!"

"We still need to keep you and your child as hostages? Keep them!"

……

Council chamber.

The last time this council hall discussed matters of great importance concerning the fate of the Great Yu Dynasty, the final decision being to summon powerful generals from all directions to the capital to deter foreign tribes.

This time, however, the meeting was held in an extremely rushed manner.

The ministers had no idea what had happened, let alone what the purpose of this meeting was!

Most people thought it was Gu Qingyue's doing again, but when Gu Qingyue also came in looking bewildered, everyone realized it wasn't Gu Qingyue.

That's the Prime Minister?

As a result, even the prime minister was completely bewildered.

It couldn't be Lu Qing, could it?

Everyone thought this way, but they found it unbelievable. This person was currently deeply in love with Ruyue, and even at the last meeting, he couldn't wait to leave.

How could he possibly convene this meeting on his own initiative?

Everyone was puzzled.

then……

Then Lu Qing strode in.

His tiger-like eyes swept around, silencing everyone before he spoke calmly, "His Majesty and Tuoba Xiang are guarding the Imperial Palace and refuse to come out."

"This matter concerns the safety of the Great Yu!"

"At this critical juncture of life and death, we must seize the time."

"Since we've already invited General Ren Tianye to lead his troops into the city, we shouldn't have left him waiting outside, so..."

After a pause, Lu Qing said, "I have invited General Ren in!"

boom!

The scene was instantly filled with shock.

Looking at Lu Qing with disbelief, and then at Gu Qingyue, her first thought was that the two of them had a conflict, as their paces and methods were completely different.

It seems like they want to give Ren Tianye a hard time first.

Are we going to invite Ren Tianye into the city immediately?!

The ministers didn't need to think too much, because not long after Lu Qing finished speaking, Ren Tianye, dressed in silver armor with a long sword at his waist and followed by more than twenty elite guards, strode in.

Ren Tianye was carrying a sword into the palace, accompanied by his personal guards. His imposing presence and murderous aura caused the entire hall to fall silent when he entered.

They all focused their attention on him.

Ren Tianye completely ignored him and went straight to Lu Qing, while Lu Qing...

Reluctantly, he got up and gave up the seat that originally belonged to the head of the table.

Ren Tianye didn't stand on ceremony at all and sat down directly.

A smile finally appeared on his face. He looked around at the officials of the Great Yu Dynasty, a gathering of brilliant minds, but in his eyes, they were nothing special.

He began, "Many of you here may not know me, or perhaps you only know me as that naive and cowardly young man from the Duke of Ren's mansion, but none of that matters anymore."

"In the future, I will let everyone gradually get to know me!"

"I, Ren Tianye, am a loyal subject, and my dream is to be a pillar of the Great Yu. You may not see it now, but I believe you will soon."

"My loyalty to the Great Yu is as clear as day!"

These words reassured many people at the scene.

As long as he's a loyal subject!

Even if someone is a self-proclaimed loyal minister, the fact that they dare to do so indicates that at least some of them are loyal.

Since we are loyal, we should study and discuss the most pressing matters at hand.

How to resolve the chaos brought about by Shota Toba?

How can we persuade Empress Xiao Mingzhao to return?

Then someone spoke up: "General Ren, His Majesty and Tuoba Xiangtai have been in the Imperial Palace for many days now, and they refuse to come out. What do you think should be done about this?"

"Yes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. This situation cannot continue. General Ren, now that you are here, you must already have a good understanding of this matter. Great Yu needs your help now!"

"General Ren, we are considering using our military force to threaten Tuoba Xiangtai. What do you think?"

"General Ren, His Majesty's safe return to the palace depends entirely on you."

……

Faced with the eager anticipation of the ministers, Ren Tianye simply smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent..."

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"How can we not be in a hurry?"

"Yes, this matter is extremely urgent!"

"Ren Tianye, do you perhaps have no intention of saving His Majesty at all?"

Ren Tianye immediately said, "How could that be?"

"This general is a loyal subject; how could I not want to save His Majesty?"

"However, saving His Majesty is a long-term plan that requires careful consideration!"

"We must provide slow, thorough, and targeted rescue, and carry out the rescue in a rhythmic and controlled manner!"

"We must not act rashly!"

"Do you understand?"
