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

Takuba Shota shouted wildly and unrestrainedly.

His posture was like that of a wolf that had gone out of control on the grassland, his whole body exuding a violent aura.

Xiao Mingzhao was also startled.

However, as an empress and the ruler of all people, she remained composed, frowning as she asked, "Tuoba Xiangtai, what exactly are you doing?"

"What do you mean, 'lie'?"

"What are you lying about?"

But before Xiao Mingzhao could finish speaking, Tuoba Xiangtai rushed over, his bloodshot eyes filled with boundless rage, and grabbed Xiao Mingzhao by the neck.

With this exertion of all her strength, Xiao Mingzhao felt short of breath, and her once radiant face turned pale instantly.

"Uh, uh..."

"you……"

"you……"

Shota Takuba was still frantically questioning, "Why did you lie to me?"

"Didn't you say it was nothing with those stand-ins?"

"Didn't you say you loved me!"

"I am who I am now, and I was who I was before!"

"But why?"

Why are you so close to those body doubles?

"As far as I know, there are Zhan Shubai, Ren Tianye, Zhou Peng, Jia Yunjie, Wang Yang..."

"How many stand-ins have you had relationships with?"

Only then did Xiao Mingzhao understand the reason for Tuoba Xiangtai's sudden anger, but he felt a chill in his heart and inner pain.

Those stand-ins were just a way for her to comfort herself when Takuba Shota wasn't around. She didn't even give those stand-ins a kind look, because Takuba Shota was always the one in her heart.

Even though she's been trapped here by Tuoba Xiangtai these past few days, with golden iron chains tied to her ankles, she's still furious, but whenever she sees Tuoba Xiangtai fast asleep on the table not far from her in the dead of night, her heart softens.

I always felt that Takuba Shota was just missing her too much, which is why he did such an irrational thing.

Given time, Shota Takuba will surely return to normal and continue his relationship with her.

But now...

The increasingly suffocating feeling from Takuba Shota's brutal actions shattered all her expectations.

This Shota Takuba is like a madman!

A complete madman!

A madman who completely distrusts her!

I simply cannot accept that she has even the slightest relationship with another man.

You can't even look at it for a second.

Even worse, even baseless rumors and completely non-existent situations can cause Takuba Shota to lose control!

As her consciousness faded and she was about to pass out, Takuba Shota released her, but the anger on his face still lingered!

"Luan'er, remember this!"

"You are mine; even your breath belongs to me!"

Everything you have is mine!

Your laughter, your tears, your sadness, your joy...

"They all belong to me!"

"You can't give this to anyone but me!"

"I'm talking about anyone!!!"

"Including those stunt doubles!"

"A stand-in is just a stand-in after all. I'm back, so they should get lost!"

After breathing in some air, Xiao Mingzhao quickly recovered somewhat. Looking at the extremely crazed barbarian in front of him, anger surged into his heart, and he mustered a bit of courage.

"I don't!"

"I didn't!"

"My relationships with those doubles are completely innocent!"

"Besides, even if I did have it, so what?"

"As the ruler of a nation and the master of all people, I am entitled to have a harem. Even if I do have several men, so what?"

These words are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Xiao Mingzhao was so angry that he lost his mind, which is why he shouted like that at this moment.

And the result...

That's when Shota Takuba became even more hysterical!

"Snapped!"

He slapped Xiao Mingzhao across the face.

Tuoba Xiangtai, like a predatory beast, cried out, "Luan'er, I told you, everything you have is mine!"

"mine!"

"Including your anger, your hatred!"

"They're all mine!"

Tuoba Xiangtai showed no mercy in his slap; or rather, while the slap seemed to hit Xiao Mingzhao's face, it actually pierced his own heart.

He stabbed himself until he bled profusely!

This slap shattered Xiao Mingzhao's pride as an empress, and also shattered all her courage.

Xiao Mingzhao's body trembled involuntarily.

A thought surged wildly within him.

"He will kill me!"

This thought was like poison.

From the moment it enters the body, it will spread wildly, circulating through the internal organs and destroying all of Xiao Mingzhao's resistance.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

They dared not resist anymore, not even dared to refute.

She could only bite her crimson lips and nod, her eyes filled with intense despair.

"That's a good girl." Tuoba Xiangtai's tyranny finally subsided a bit: "Luan'er, you must always be this good."

"Come here, let me see, did I hurt you?"

"Let me blow on it for you!"

Xiao Mingzhao immediately dodged to the side, but this time Tuoba Xiangtai didn't continue to be angry. Instead, he looked apologetic: "Luan'er, don't blame me!"

I love you so much.

"I care about you so much."

That's why it's like this!

"How about I cook for you?"

"Shall I apply the medicine for you myself?"

"You'll forgive me, won't you?"

After a pause, Tuoba Xiangtai continued, "However, Luan'er, before that, I need you to write an imperial edict!"

He had Xiao Mingzhao sit behind the desk, unfolded the imperial edict, and said, "Luan'er, issue an order for the officials of the Great Yu court to kill all of your doubles!"

"No, we can't let them get away with this so easily!"

"Exterminate their entire clan!"

"It should be nine generations!"

"Let's stick with the ten clans!"

"Exterminate all ten of their clans."

Xiao Mingzhao then saw the imperial edict and the words spoken by her so-called substitutes. She immediately realized that a minister was sabotaging her.

Because she didn't keep any body doubles, let alone raise any, how could she possibly have so many body doubles to plead with her with such "sweet words"?!

A treacherous scheme!

There are treacherous subjects who want to harm me!

He quickly said, "Shota, these stand-ins are fake..."

"You're still defending them?" Takuba Shota's emotions, which had just calmed down a bit, suddenly surged up like a huge wave on the sea, without any warning.

Those eyes turned bloodshot again.

A hideous face!

Having just been slapped, Xiao Mingzhao knew he was in trouble and dared not say anything more, only managing to say, "Alright, alright, I'll write it, I'll write it, I'll write it right now!"

Following Tuoba Xiangtai's dictation, Xiao Mingzhao wrote down everything, and even took out her personal seal and stamped it on the back of the folded book.

Shota Takuba finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I quickly tidied myself up, grabbed the folding book, and headed out.

After leaving the inner courtyard, he found his personal guard and ordered him to send the message to the Great Yu court as quickly as possible.

So that all those stand-ins can go to hell.

……

"So fast?"

When Ren Tianye received the folded paper, he was also surprised. But when he opened it, he laughed.

"So eager to get rid of those so-called stand-ins, it seems this Tuoba Xiang is seriously ill!"

"That makes sense. If her condition were normal and within a controllable range, it would be impossible for her to become a couple with Xiao Mingzhao."

"As netizens have rightly pointed out, how could they enter the same house if they didn't have the same illness?"

Ren Tianye had already sketched out a simple image of Tuoba Xiangtai in his mind, and had a general idea of ​​Tuoba Xiangtai's image.

My already firm resolve has become even stronger.

With Tuoba Xiangtai by Xiao Mingzhao's side, how could he not accomplish great things?

Now, with Xiao Mingzhao's handwritten letter, stamped with his official seal, the killing of the double is exactly what he needs.

Since the stunt double has no name, whoever he says it is, that's who it is!

He doesn't even have to bear the infamy of killing virtuous and capable people.

After thinking for a moment, he summoned his deputy, Wang Ming.

"After I become Grand Commandant and concurrently serve as Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, the opposition in the court will inevitably be fierce. Have you investigated this?"

Deputy General Wang Ming was immediately covered in sweat.

"General, I have done my best to investigate, but we are unfamiliar with the capital, and Lu Qing's soldiers are mostly disobedient to us. The court officials are also extremely secretive. I..."

"My subordinates haven't accomplished much!"

"The only one thing we can be certain of is that there is one person!"

Ren Tianye asked, "Who is that person?"

Wang Mingdao: "Wen Cheng, the Cavalry Commandant!"

"This man harbors wolfish ambitions!"

"When you were handling state affairs, General, he came to pay his respects. I observed him and found that his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at you."

"To be precise, it was murderous intent!"

"This person must be plotting to assassinate the general."

"However, since I haven't obtained concrete evidence, I've only had people keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing trouble, and I haven't actually taken any action!"

Ren Tianye nodded. After his experiences, Wang Ming had become quite shrewd. He could detect that someone was trying to take advantage of him, which was probably not a problem.

Besides, even if there are any problems.

It's not a big problem.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

That is his current course of action.

He immediately said, "Take men and arrest this Yueqi Colonel Wen Cheng right now. Tell him His Majesty wants to kill him!"

"Yes!" Wang Ming immediately agreed and led his men there.

"Oh, and remember to keep a close watch on those court officials in Kyoto. If there's any doubt, don't delay—arrest them first, interrogate them, and then discuss other matters!"

"Those people, you could say Empress Xiao Mingzhao wanted to kill them!"

"As for the reason... it's because they once served as His Majesty's doubles!"

"Yes!" Wang Ming replied again and turned to do it.

Wang Ming's actions were already quite swift and decisive.

But the reaction in the imperial court was even faster.

After all, Kyoto is their stronghold. Ren Tianye, an outsider, can openly control the entire capital through military coercion, but he cannot suppress the undercurrents beneath the surface.

Wen Cheng, the cavalry captain, had received the information before Wang Ming arrived.

He felt a pang of regret in an instant.

"Ren, you reacted so quickly!"

"This general originally intended to conceal a sharp blade before going to court, and kill him when he was off guard, thus eliminating a scourge for the Great Yu and restoring the country's reputation."

"I never expected him to know in advance!"

"Right now, I, the general, have ended up being completely at the mercy of others!"

Wen Cheng is a real man.

Even when faced with imminent danger, I never considered running away.

They probably knew that, given Ren Tianye's current control over the entire capital, there was virtually no hope for him to escape.

He might as well stay at home, wait for Ren Tianye's men to arrive, then fight them to the death and die for his country.

"Brother Wencheng, you mustn't!"

At that moment, Chen Liang, the commander of the Imperial Guards, appeared: "Brother Wen Cheng, your death may indeed earn you a place in history, but it will only benefit that scoundrel Ren Tianye!"

"It's of no benefit to the country!"

"On the contrary, it will also implicate your relatives and family members."

Why take such a drastic step?

Wen Cheng had a good impression of Chen Liang. It was Chen Liang who had angrily scolded Gu Qingyue, saying that Gu Qingyue was ruining the country. He also knew that Chen Liang was currently running around, contacting ministers in the court, and resisting Ren Tianye.

He then said gently, "Brother Chen Liang is right."

"If I, Wen Cheng, were to be killed by that scoundrel Ren Tianye while I am still alive, how could I not feel regret?"

"only……"

Wen Cheng gave a bitter laugh and said, "Right now, that scoundrel Ren Tianye has an army of 300,000, and General Lu Qing not only does nothing, but also aids and abets him!"

"We are outnumbered and outmatched; how can we possibly stand against that scoundrel Ren Tianye?"

"Given the current situation, how can we possibly escape it?"

"What if you don't die?"

Chen Liang remained silent for a moment, knowing that Wen Cheng was right, but still wanted to take a gamble, and said, "Brother Wen Cheng, I have a plan, which may be dangerous, but it may also help you escape the calamity before you."

"Brother Wencheng, would you be willing to listen to what I have to say?"

"Oh? Brother Chen Liang, please speak."

Chen Liang said, "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we cannot resist them. But how can the mighty Great Yu, an eight-hundred-year-old dynasty, be without a solid foundation?"

"Just because you and I are powerless doesn't mean that others are powerless to fight back."

Wen Cheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "What does Brother Chen Liang mean?"

Chen Liang said, enunciating each word clearly: "Princess Ruyi!"

Wen Cheng's body trembled, and a name immediately flashed into his mind.

Xiao Ruyi!

She was the late emperor's younger sister, and was granted the title of Princess by him. She was also given the Ruyi Mansion, which was located in the capital. She was one of the few blood relatives of the late emperor, and therefore held great prestige.

and……

It is said that before the late emperor passed away, he was worried that His Majesty Xiao Mingzhao would not be able to control the court, so he deliberately left behind an imperial edict and a military tally, which can be regarded as entrusting all the affairs of the Great Yu court to him.

If such a high-ranking and prestigious princess were willing to step forward to protect him, how could a lowly Ren Tianye dare to forcibly kill him in the face of public opinion?

Moreover, Princess Xiao Ruyi could seize power with just a shout, and countless people in the world would be willing to follow her!

If Princess Xiao Ruyi were willing to step in... how could Ren Tianye be allowed to be so arrogant and unruly?

He immediately said with delight, "Brother Chen Liang, thank you for the reminder."

"I'll go find the Princess right away and seek her protection!"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Liang stopped him, saying, "Brother Wen Cheng, before you go, you should be prepared for the possibility of being rejected. Anyway, have hope, but don't have too high hopes!"

"Why?" Wen Cheng asked in return.

Chen Liang sighed and said, "Have you forgotten that our eldest princess has always had a certain reputation?"

"Reputation?" Wen Cheng quickly realized, "You mean..."

"A princess as serene and unassuming as chrysanthemums?!"

"That's right!" Chen Liang said, "The Princess is of a peaceful nature and doesn't like to get involved in trouble. This is a consensus among everyone. I wonder if that has changed now?"

Wen Cheng, however, did not take it to heart and said, "Brother Chen Liang, you are overthinking it."

"The eldest princess is indeed of a peaceful nature, but that depends on the situation. Right now, it concerns the fate of the nation and the eight-hundred-year history of the Great Yu Dynasty. She is the eldest princess, of royal blood, how can she stand by and watch the Great Yu court fall into the hands of powerful ministers?"
