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

Gu Qingyue's face was pale, yet a stubborn look appeared on her face.

"Impossible! I will not allow Ren Tianye to succeed so easily. I still have trump cards up my sleeve. How can I let Ren Tianye escape my control?"

"Once I've started the fire, I must control it!"

With that thought in mind, she didn't linger any longer.

While those spineless cowards were trying to curry favor with Ren Tianye, she strode away and headed straight for the prison.

Only when you're walking on the street can you truly feel it.

In just a few days, the capital city has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The streets were no longer only occupied by the Imperial Guards, but also by a number of idle barbarians, mostly those who guarded the Imperial Palace and came out to buy things during their free time.

The largest force consisted of the northern border troops brought by Ren Tianye.

They have become the dominant color of Kyoto.

They were either in groups of a few or hundreds, patrolling or guarding key points throughout the capital.

The vast capital city has become like a backyard garden for the northern border troops.

This startled Gu Qingyue slightly.

Yesterday, Ren Tianye sent people into the city. Although she had been paying attention, she didn't know where they all went. Now it dawned on her: "Could Ren Tianye have sent people to guard the imperial prison?"

If Ren Tianye manages to hold the prison, wouldn't that mean that the trump card she used to manipulate Ren Tianye has been rescued by him?

Is her last hope about to be dashed?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue broke out in a cold sweat and ran faster towards the Heavenly Prison.

Before long, they arrived at the imperial prison.

The weight that had been hanging over me finally lifted.

Ren Tianye did not send troops to guard the prison.

Duke Ren is still imprisoned in the imperial prison.

"Hahaha, Ren Tianye, even someone as wise as you can make a mistake!"

"Since you didn't rescue Duke Ren, what difference is there between you and someone in the palm of my hand?"

Gu Qingyue felt extremely happy in an instant.

Without delay, he immediately ordered the jailer to summon the Duke of Ren.

"Qingyue, you...you've come to see me again?"

"Can you let me out now?"

"I...I really can't take it anymore, please, please let me out!"

Duke Ren was not very old, about the same age as Lu Qing, but Lu Qing was still full of energy, while he was emaciated, covered in wounds, and looked like he was on the verge of death.

"I just can't take it anymore!"

"I really can't take it anymore!"

Gu Qingyue gave a cold laugh, showing no goodwill towards Duke Ren. Instead, she said, "Now, your precious son, Ren Tianye, has led an army of 100,000 into the capital..."

"What?" Duke Ren was startled. "He really brought people in? Does that mean he's done a great service? Then quickly get Ren Tianye over here to see me and tell him to get me out of here. Oh, and make him take care of his younger brother. His brother has suffered a lot of injustice, all because of him. He owes his brother far too much..."

Before Duke Ren could finish speaking, Gu Qingyue impatiently interrupted: "Hmph, your son Ren Tianye is no pushover; he has already usurped the position of Grand Commandant."

"I've come to see you to ask you to write a letter to Ren Tianye, requesting that he relinquish his position as Grand Commandant and submit to my command. Are you willing?"

As she spoke, Gu Qingyue stared intently at Duke Ren.

Gu Qingyue had already experienced firsthand how formidable Duke Ren was; he appeared weak and cowardly, but was actually incredibly resolute.

To support Ren Tianye, he dared to tell any lie and endure any grievance.

Now, will Duke Ren cooperate with her?

"I'm willing! I'm willing!" Duke Ren immediately exclaimed. "I'm more than willing! Give me paper and pen, I'll write it down right now and make that rebellious son Ren Tianye return the position of Grand Commandant!"

"Are you really willing?"

"It couldn't be more genuine; look at my sincere eyes!"

Gu Qingyue looked at the Duke of Ren's sincere eyes and nodded. It didn't seem like he was faking it. She immediately asked the Duke of Ren to write a letter.

After personally checking and confirming that there were no problems, she had someone rush it to Ren Tianye.

As a result, Ren Tianye's reply arrived in less than half an hour.

"So fast?" Gu Qingyue quickly opened the envelope and saw what was written on it.

"Father, I have always known your good intentions."

"Please bear with my suffering for a few more days, Father. I will make sure that the Duke of Ren's mansion is restored to its former glory and that your good name will be known throughout the world."

Snapped!

Gu Qingyue suddenly threw the letter at Duke Ren's face and said angrily, "Well, well, Duke Ren, you really are something else."

"He could even send messages to Ren Tianye right in front of me."

"Tell me: What kind of code did you and Ren Tianye agree on? What is your purpose? How exactly did you incite Ren Tianye to raise an army? Is it all because of your secret instigation that Ren Tianye is now eyeing the position of Grand Commandant?"

When Duke Ren picked up the letter and read it, he completely broke down.

"No, no, what is this?"

"I had no intention of restoring the Duke of Ren's family from obscurity, nor did I intend to promote my reputation! I didn't, I didn't, I really didn't!"

Trust me!

"You have to believe me!"

Gu Qingyue grew even angrier: "I'd have to be out of my mind to believe you!"

"Guards, begin the torture!"

"I'll see just how tough you really are today. Even now, you still haven't uttered a single truth!"

After obeying the order, the jailer immediately served the Duke of Ren the prison's standard treatments: the tiger bench, chili water, and the nail-rolling board.

The Duke of Ren was in so much pain that he cried out for his parents, and he was desperately trying to recall what instructions he had given Ren Tianye.

Unfortunately, I really can't remember.

After enduring a severe beating, he was practically crippled, but this time, Gu Qingyue was absolutely not going to let him off the hook.

"Write another letter to Ren Tianye!"

"Write a letter in blood!"

"Return Ren Tianye to his position as Grand Commandant and make him subject to my orders."

"snort!"

"If you dare to try anything funny again this time, I won't let you off easily!"

Duke Ren nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare to be cunning, I will definitely make Ren Tianye listen to me, I will make this rebellious son Ren Tianye listen to me."

To get Ren Tianye to obey, the Duke of Ren racked his brains: "Tianye, your father's life hangs in the balance, and only you can save him. We are father and son, and you must not refuse my request!"

"You must always be of one mind with your father!"

Gu Qingyue checked it again and confirmed once more that there should be no problem.

Then someone else sent it to Ren Tianye.

This time, Ren Tianye didn't return so quickly, leaving Gu Qingyue to wait in the prison for a day. But this actually made Gu Qingyue feel that there was hope, and she felt much more at ease.

Ren Tianye's letter finally arrived the next day!

When opened, it was also completely blood red.

It was clearly written in blood by Ren Tianye.

This shows the deep bond between Ren Tianye and Duke Ren, which makes Gu Qingyue even more eager to watch on.

"Don't worry, Father!"

"Even if it means going against the whole world, I will always be of one mind with you!"

"I understand perfectly what you mean in your letter."

"The minor position of Grand Commandant is indeed unworthy of your ambition, Father."

"I will continue to strive."

"Sooner or later, I will fulfill your dream, Father, and let the whole world know what a heroic and extraordinary Duke Ren is!"
