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

Chapter 143 You're crippled, let's see if you can still be as indifferent as a chrysanthem

After Wei Shuo said this, Wang Ming had no choice but to remain silent.

I was quite anxious, watching helplessly as things unfolded.

At this moment, Imperial Censor Wang had been dragged out of the Imperial Censor's residence by the soldiers brought by Wei Shuo. His lean, handsome, and angular face was full of anger, and his long robe was mostly disheveled.

Clearly, everything that happened was completely unexpected.

When he came out and saw Wei Shuo, he was first stunned, then exclaimed, "Wei Shuo, you can actually stand up?"

That would be wonderful.

"You know to bring your soldiers to apologize to me in person. It seems that after serving the Princess for so many years, you have made a lot of progress."

"Come on, today, I, the Imperial Censor, will see your sincerity."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Even Wang Ming, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, couldn't help but feel his heart boiling with excitement.

No way, this is another genius!

When have you ever heard of bringing a large force to apologize?

Sitting on his black steed, Wei Shuo's face was cold, and his eyes shone with extreme hatred. He said coldly, "As an imperial censor, you should be in charge of all officials. What makes you think you can manage documents?"

"But over the years, you have been resentful that I took away the eldest princess back then, and you have made things difficult for me at every turn. Even when I was fighting against the barbarians in the northern frontier, you threatened the court officials and refused to give me supplies because I was the commander of an army, which almost caused a disaster."

"You surnamed Wang, do you know your crime?"

Imperial Censor Wang was taken aback.

As if only then realizing what was happening, he looked around and saw that the soldiers were strong and the blades were everywhere. His originally arrogant heart suddenly calmed down.

Looking at Wei Shuo again, he saw that Wei Shuo had brandished a long spear, the cold spear tip pointing sharply at him, as if it wanted to take his life.

He shuddered instantly, realizing the situation.

She quickly replied, "This, this, although it was I who did it, His Majesty knows about these things and has tacitly approved them, so I had no choice but to do as he said."

"You're threatening me now only because His Majesty and Prince Tuoba are so affectionate in the Imperial Palace that they haven't restrained you. Do you really dare to lay a hand on me?"

"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you after he leaves the Imperial Palace?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words. But the moment he did, Wei Shuo's anger boiled over even more. It was because Imperial Censor Wang had told the Empress that everything he had done was for love.

It was all because Wei Shuo prevented Imperial Censor Wang and the Princess from having the love they should have had. Therefore, the Empress completely sided with Imperial Censor Wang, making him live a life that was neither human nor ghost all these years.

If the Eldest Princess was the executioner who caused him unbearable pain, then Imperial Censor Wang was the mastermind behind issuing the kill order, and the Empress knew he was innocent, but because of the ridiculous love between Imperial Censor Wang and the Eldest Princess, she had to make him lose his head.

He immediately roared, "Then you deserve to die even more!"

Before he finished speaking, his steed, Snow-Treading Black Steed, charged forward, thrusting out the Cold Iron Tiger-Head Spear in his hand.

Before Wang Yushi's wide, incredulous eyes, the weapon suddenly pierced his chest, piercing him right through the heart!

The spear was slowly retracted, leaving traces of blood. Wei Shuo's face became expressionless as he coldly ordered, "The Imperial Censor's Office has disregarded the law, nearly driving the soldiers of the Northern Frontier into a desperate situation. This is a grave crime, unforgivable!"

"Guards, execute the entire Wang Imperial Censor's household, from top to bottom!"

What?

Wang Ming, who was standing next to him, almost jumped up.

No, besides killing Censor Wang, they also want to slaughter his entire family?

broad daylight?

Under the bright and clear sky?

Seriously, bro? The General is testing you, but the maximum score is only 100. How the hell did you manage to get 120?

If you were to actually do it, the image that the General has worked so hard to maintain would suffer a significant blow!

Just as he was about to offer some advice, it became clear that Wei Shuo's men were more obedient to him, especially since Wei Shuo possessed a warrant jointly signed by Ren Tianye and Lu Qing!

Thus, in Wang Ming's panic, a massacre of the entire household immediately began.

In an instant, only screams of agony filled the air!

The entire Wang family, young and old, were sent to the Western Paradise to meet Buddha.

Wang Ming stood there, frozen in place.

"General Wang Ming..." Wei Shuo clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Ming, his posture as respectful as ever. After all, this was the person Ren Tianye trusted most. Even without considering Wang Ming's military achievements, Wei Shuo had to treat him with respect just for that reason alone.

"I will say the same thing again: once everything is settled, I will explain to the General that the Great Yu is in the process of a massacre. Only through bloodshed can the already devastating Great Yu be stopped."

Wei Shuo clearly knew more than Wang Ming, but he still didn't say much. Instead, he ordered his men to quickly destroy the Imperial Censor Wang's residence and then led them straight to the martial arts arena.

No sooner had they left than Ren Tianye arrived with his men. Seeing that the Imperial Censor Wang's residence was now a ruin, and learning from Wang Ming's personal guards that it was all Wei Shuoqian's doing, Ren Tianye's mouth formed an "o" shape.

No way, I thought Wei Shuo wouldn't pass his test. I didn't expect Wei Shuo to be so ruthless.

Did they wipe out the Imperial Censor Wang's residence?

Over a hundred people!

How much hatred must have been bottled up inside?!

"General..." The personal guard beside him trembled slightly, "You ordered that no killings be carried out in the capital, but now, isn't this...?"

Ren Tianye glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? This general is loyal to his country and most supportive of His Majesty. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

"This is clearly an imperial edict from the Imperial Palace, and General Wei Shuo is just following orders."

"As for why such an imperial edict was issued, you'd have to ask His Majesty. Heaven knows what game His Majesty and Tuoba Xiangtai are playing this time. After all, who among the court officials and the people of the capital isn't a part of their game?"

The guards didn't understand what Ren Tianye meant by "play," but they understood what Ren Tianye was saying.

Oh, so it's an imperial edict from the Imperial Palace!

As for the imperial edict?

All imperial decrees must first go through the Grand Commandant's office. So, whatever the Grand General says goes. If all else fails, just imitate Tuoba Xiangtai's handwriting and write one.

It's not like we haven't done it before.

While he was still in a daze, Ren Tianye waved his hand: "Let's go to the martial arts training ground at Zhuolong Garden in Shanglin Garden!"

Ren Tianye rode off at full speed, but Wei Shuo went ahead and was even faster. Before long, he arrived at the training ground with a thousand soldiers covered in blood.

There, Princess Xiao Ruyi had already been invited.

The moment their eyes met, Princess Xiao Ruyi cried out in a shrill voice for the first time, "Wei Shuo, what are you doing?"

"I am the eldest princess, and now the entrusted minister of the Great Yu Dynasty. How dare you have me abducted to this training ground? Do you intend to rebel?"

The voice was sharp and piercing, completely different from the princess's usual gentle and serene demeanor. It seemed that she had never encountered such a calamity in her life. She always sat in a high position, her brows slightly furrowed, and someone would take care of everything for her, leaving her to choose what she wanted.

Now, the soldiers have stormed into the Princess's residence and taken her hostage, completely shattering her psychological defenses.

Wei Shuo could naturally see this as well. He dismounted and strode toward Princess Xiao Ruyi. In those few short steps, a strange feeling welled up in Wei Shuo's heart.

This scene feels so familiar.

Just like back then, when he defeated all his opponents in the martial arts contest to choose a husband and was personally betrothed by the late emperor, he also strode away to Princess Xiao Ruyi. At that time, Xiao Ruyi's fair face was filled with a gentle smile, which made his heart beat faster and he felt that he had lived a life without regrets.

Little did he know that you can know a person's face but not their heart. Over the years, he had given everything because of that irreplaceable smile, only to find in the end that he had made a huge mistake.

After decades of mediocre life, in his final moments, only his memories of the northern frontier made him feel like he had lived like a human being; the rest of his life was filled with memories of Princess Xiao Ruyi.

But everything was gloomy, the sky was overcast, and a storm was raging!

Wei Shuo let out a soft breath, banishing all distracting thoughts.

The hand gripping the side knife tightened even more.

General Ren gave him a chance to start over, a chance he had been longing for all this time. He would not let General Ren down, nor would he let himself down.

"So, Princess, you also know that you are a regent minister. As a regent minister, His Majesty has been staying in the Imperial Palace for months. Minister Pei Jingzhi came to your residence to beg for help, and presented you with His Majesty's blood-written edict. He was so anxious that he almost knelt down, but you ignored him completely."

"Are you worthy of the title of regent?"

At this point, Princess Xiao Ruyi's face regained its calm and composed demeanor: "I have always been a person who does not compete or vie for power, how could I be burdened by matters of the court?"

"Very good, very good!" Unlike before, when Wei Shuo was burning with anger, now that everything was under control, he was calm and composed, even with a playful smile on his face.

"very good!"

"But I'm curious, if I were to slap you and there's no one to shield you, would you still be able to...?"

"As serene and unassuming as a chrysanthemum?"

"Can we... not compete or fight?"

Xiao Ruyi's expression changed slightly: "Wei Shuo, what do you mean?"

Wei Shuo ignored her and instead looked around. He saw that everyone around him was his trusted confidant and had a high degree of loyalty to him. He then shouted loudly, "Brothers, this woman is the eldest princess of our Great Yu, and a trusted minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor of our Great Yu."

"But the position of the trusted minister entrusted to her by her heir was put up by me, Wei Shuo. I put in countless efforts, but afterwards, she scolded me for using any means necessary and for being too greedy."

"Brothers, what do you think I should do?"

The soldiers around them, including Wang Ming, were all taken aback.

Wang Ming was caught off guard by Wei Shuo's question and didn't know how to answer. But the soldiers who followed Wei Shuo had already started shouting.

"Kill her, kill her!"

"Good!" Wei Shuo affirmed loudly: "My daughter, my precious jewel, my lifeblood, I racked my brains to find her a suitable young man, but afterwards, this woman accused me of being a sycophant and having no integrity whatsoever."

"Brothers, what should I do?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the crowd shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Wei Shuo nodded and shouted again, "I fought in the northern frontier to guard the border for the Great Yu, but this woman said that my hands are stained with blood and that I should atone for my sins with my death. Moreover, she won't let me rest in peace after death. She wants to hold my ashes and apologize to her lover on my behalf."

"Brothers, what should I do?"

Almost instantly, a thunderous chorus resounded.

"Kill her! Kill her! Kill this vixen!"

The roar of a thousand people shook the roof tiles, and even Wang Ming couldn't help but shout.

He had already heard about this before and felt a deep hatred in his heart. Now, hearing it again, his hatred remained as strong as ever.

Before this incident, no matter how hard he tried, he could never have imagined that a wife could be so heartless to her husband, yet still claim to be indifferent and detached, never fighting or grabbing. She really... deserved to die!

"Alright, kill her!"

Wei Shuo reaffirmed his point, his gaze now turning to Princess Xiao Ruyi.

Xiao Ruyi's face also changed drastically, and she was no longer calm at all. She said in a trembling voice, "Wei Shuo, we are husband and wife. We have been loving for so many years. What are you going to do now?"

Wei Shuo looked at her.

The wind and snow fell one after another in my chest, and hatred surged up.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the blade.

Perhaps the light of the blade was too bright, causing the world to dim for a moment.

Princess Xiao Ruyi was so dazzled that she couldn't open her eyes. Then she felt a heat in her chest and looked down to see that the blade had already pierced her ribs.

Wei Shuo drew his sword and said coldly, "This strike is for myself!"

Before the words were even finished, the blood-stained blade flashed out again.

Another knife fell on the princess.

"This cut is for my daughter!"

Wei Shuo, a seasoned general with years of experience, wielded his sword with considerable skill. These two blows inflicted severe injuries on Princess Xiao Ruyi, but were not fatal.

Then, Wei Shuo raised his knife again.

"This strike severs the entangled, lifelong, karmic bond between us!"

Just as the knife was about to fall, Princess Xiao Ruyi screamed, "No, no, Wei Shuo, no! I... I was wrong, I was wrong! Please don't kill me, please don't kill me..."

Wei Shuo paused, then said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just... want to cripple you."

"I'd like to know, if this knife were to fall on you, and you were to spend the rest of your life bedridden, just like I was, would you still be able to...?"

"As serene and unassuming as a chrysanthemum?"

"Not competing or fighting?"

The third strike landed.

Xiao Ruyi screamed in agony as blood gushed out.

Wei Shuo stared into her eyes, his tone unreadable, and slowly said, "Xiao Ruyi, everything you have started with me, and now, everything you have should also end with me."

After speaking, Wei Shuo seemed somewhat emotional.

He looked up at the sky. Just moments ago it was a clear, sunny sky, but now it was covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy snow was about to fall. Suddenly, he felt a cool sensation on his cheek; a snowflake had soaked into his skin.

He smiled again.

His smile concealed endless vicissitudes, yet the clarity in his eyes was even more pristine than when he was young and conquering the northern frontier.

He and Xiao Ruyi fell in love in the blooming summer and their love ended in the bitter winter!

For the rest of my life, there will be only hatred, and not a trace of love!
