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

Tuoba Xiangtai left with the dagger, leaving the barbarian soldiers in the hall bewildered.

No, the Third Prince went to find Xiao Mingzhao. What about the barbarian army outside the city? What about them? Right now... should we go out to rescue them, or not?

What should I do?

In contrast to the confusion of these people, Takuba Shota's mind was extremely clear at this moment, and he could be described as calm and rational.

He finally understood.

Xiao Mingzhao wanted to leave him from the very beginning!

The reason for sending the Imperial Guards and Border Troops to attack their barbarian army outside the city was to rescue Xiao Mingzhao from the Imperial Palace. Now, this Xiangxiang has completely confirmed it.

Xiao Mingzhao has already raised one...

A beloved person!

He was clearly loved by Xiao Mingzhao, but in reality, he was just a substitute!

Just a stand-in!

Xiangxiang's stand-in!

So, in the end, Luan'er has to leave him!

Can,

No!

Absolutely not!

He wanted to be with Luan'er for all eternity. If they couldn't be together in life, they would be together in death, forever and ever with Luan'er!

……

When Tuoba Xiangtai went to the backyard, Pei Jingzhi had already gone ahead.

Pei Jingzhi was genuinely surprised that things would turn out to be so much easier than he had imagined.

Originally, the barbarian soldiers guarded the Imperial Palace so tightly that not even a fly could get in. But whether it was his sincere desire to serve His Majesty that moved the heavens or the power of the Great Yu Kingdom that made a difference, the barbarian soldiers suddenly became chaotic.

Those barbarian soldiers came and went in turn, causing chaos.

Even the barbarian soldiers guarding the gate returned to the Imperial Palace.

It left a completely empty gate.

How could Pei Jingzhi let such a good opportunity slip by?

They immediately barged in.

Unexpectedly, the entry went quite smoothly. The barbarian soldiers were so chaotic that they seemed to have no time to pay attention to him, allowing him to make his way to the inner courtyard without any trouble.

The closer he was to the inner courtyard, the safer Pei Jingzhi would be.

The closer you get to the inner courtyard, the more deserted it becomes.

He had a map left by his eldest grandson, and his understanding of the Imperial Palace was no less than that of these barbarian soldiers. He immediately sneaked in and quickly found the room where Xiao Mingzhao was being held.

He immediately pushed open the door.

The moment Pei Jingzhi saw the scene inside the house, tears welled up in his eyes on his old face.

—He had already heard from Sun Da and Sun Er that His Majesty was bound with golden chains by Tuoba Xiangtai, preventing him from leaving the house. But what he saw now was that in addition to the golden chains, there were also heavy iron chains.

—Their Emperor of Great Yu is being tied up here like a dog!

This is their Emperor of Great Yu!

O Lord of all people!

How could I possibly endure such humiliation?

Pei Jingzhi knelt down with a thud, tears welling in his eyes, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, this old minister has arrived too late to save you, causing you to suffer. This old minister deserves to die!"

Xiao Mingzhao's spirits lifted: "Minister Pei?"

"You, you've finally arrived!"

"Quick, get me out of here!"

Pei Jingzhi dared not delay. Suppressing the collapse and pain in his heart, he immediately tried to untie Xiao Mingzhao. However, whether it was a golden chain or an iron chain, it was as difficult as climbing to heaven for someone like Pei Jingzhi who did not know martial arts.

Besides, even if he knew martial arts, he couldn't cut those chains in one go.

"There's a key over there..." Xiao Mingzhao pointed into the distance and said, "The key is right there. Take it out and unlock these chains for me!"

Pei Jingzhi felt another pang of sadness.

The key was placed in a spot that Xiao Mingzhao couldn't reach. Tuoba Xiangtai, that barbarian bastard, dared to treat His Majesty so cruelly. Every citizen of Great Yu would splatter the thief with their own blood!

Fortunately, he was determined and quickly produced the key.

They removed the shackles from Xiao Mingzhao's body one by one.

Xiao Mingzhao felt a lightness in his body, and instantly felt that even the air was free. He was also filled with excitement and couldn't help but ask Pei Jingzhi about his current situation.

Pei Jingzhi responded while operating the device.

"The border troops and the imperial guards are currently slaughtering the barbarian army outside the city. This must be at Ren Tianye's behest. The Imperial Palace is in complete chaos right now, which is the perfect opportunity. Your Majesty, it is only right that the Great Yu Dynasty survives, and this is the perfect time for you to escape!"

Xiao Mingzhao's excitement faltered.

He said, "Minister Pei, are you saying that Ren Tianye has come to rescue me?"

"No, it's..." Before Pei Jingzhi could explain, he heard rapid footsteps outside the door, and his expression immediately changed drastically: "It's probably Tuoba Xiangtai."

Looking at Xiao Mingzhao, who had been freed from his chains, he didn't hesitate for a moment and said directly, "Your Majesty, in this way, there's no way to escape. There's only one way!"

"Your Majesty, please take off your clothes!"

Xiao Mingzhao was lost in thought when he heard this and was immediately stunned: "What?"

"Your Majesty, please take off your clothes, and I will put them on. I will sit with my back to Tuoba Xiangtai, and then blow out a few candles. Tuoba Xiangtai will surely mislead me. At that time, I can buy Your Majesty some time. Your Majesty..."

"You can use this opportunity to escape."

"As long as Your Majesty, after escaping, does not forget this lesson, treats the people of the land well, revitalizes the court, executes the treacherous officials, and pacifies the barbarian tribes, this old minister will have no regrets even in death!"

Xiao Mingzhao understood Pei Jingzhi's thoughts.

However, Xiao Mingzhao decisively shook his head.

Pei Jingzhi grew anxious: "Your Majesty, my life is as insignificant as an ant. If I could exchange my lowly life for Your Majesty's health, it would be an immense blessing! Your Majesty, this is a critical moment; you must not hesitate!"

Xiao Mingzhao shook his head and said, "Minister Pei, that's not what I meant. I meant to say..."

Xiao Mingzhao looked out the window, where everything was pitch black, just like the perilous situation she was in. But the occasional bursts of fire seemed like a ray of light shining in her heart.

The road ahead is always difficult, but as long as there is still a breath left, we should bravely pursue our dreams.

So she exclaimed, "Ren Tianye has come to save me!"

"I treated Ren Tianye badly in the past, which hurt his sincere feelings for me."

"This time, I want to give him a chance!"

"I believe he will complete the arrangements and will not allow Tuoba Xiangtai to cause me any harm."

"I misjudged people and made mistakes in the past, which led to great disaster. This time, I will not make the same mistakes again!"

She paused, then turned to Pei Jingzhi, whose face was filled with disbelief, and said, "Minister Pei, please rest assured, even if Ren Tianye is only acting for my sake, he will certainly make thorough arrangements. With you and me here, there will be absolutely no danger!"

"Just relax!"
