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

Pei Jingzhi was taken aback.

For a moment, he froze.

He even thought he had misheard.

What?

Waiting for Ren Tianye?

Did Ren Tianye make overall plans?

Damn it!

Ren Tianye must have made overall plans, but he definitely didn't come to save Your Majesty. He's a treacherous scoundrel who plots to usurp the throne; all his goals are to hold the emperor hostage and use him to command the other lords.

Once the time is right, he will immediately transform from a powerful minister into the founding emperor.

How could he possibly come to save Your Majesty?

Pei Jingzhi felt a surge of anger rising up, and a sudden feeling welled up in his heart that it was not worth risking his life to save him.

However, I still managed to suppress it.

Just as they were about to try to persuade them again, Takuba Shota did not give them another chance.

A loud "bang!"

The door was kicked open violently.

Holding a sharp, cold blade in one hand, covered in blood, with a savage glint in his eyes, the crazed Tuoba Xiangtai entered through the door.

All those words were meant to be a thunderclap, crashing down on Xiao Mingzhao, but at first glance, he saw Pei Jingzhi!

Takuba Shota knew Pei Jingzhi.

He had even caught a glimpse of Pei Jingzhi from afar when he first arrived in the capital, not to mention the countless times he had heard Pei Jingzhi's name from Xiao Mingzhao these past few days.

They knew that this was the true pillar of the Great Yu state.

Along with the former Duke of Zhenguo, one a civil official and the other a military leader, they were the two pillars of the Dayu Dynasty.

Tuoba Xiang had long planned for such a talent. If things went smoothly and his Luan'er could adapt early on and live happily ever after with him, he would definitely make good use of such a capable and pragmatic person who could govern the world when he was in charge of Dayu and the barbarians.

But right now...

The thunderbolt that had gathered in his heart instantly became a hundred times more powerful, surging and unstoppable.

—Even Pei Jingzhi came to save Luan'er. Luan'er, are you determined to leave him?

All his love and longing over the years were ultimately misplaced, misplaced!

"Luan'er, you, you have truly betrayed me!"

"First, a large army annihilated my barbarian army; then Xiangxiang tried to replace me; now Pei Jingzhi is trying to save me. I... I really can't satisfy you?"

"Do you really have to leave me?"

These sounds, like the struggles and roars of a wild beast before its death, were filled with resentment and pain.

Yet, even amidst this intense and frantic emotion, they clung to the last glimmer of possibility.

Even if there is such a sliver of a possibility, it is already in vain.

Can……

We will not give up.

However, Xiao Mingzhao immediately shattered Tuoba Xiangtai's delusions. She shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Xiangtai, I know you're not feeling well, but you are definitely not the right person for me."

"Now, we've laughed, cried, argued, tormented, and tortured each other. It's time for it to end."

"I will no longer hold your past actions against you."

"I will treat you barbarians kindly from now on, but it's time to sever all ties between us."

From this day forward, we will be strangers, and will never know each other again.

Xiao Mingzhao spoke with deep affection, but Pei Jingzhi, standing beside him, was stunned.

No, why would you say these things to Shota Takuba?

He has a knife and is armed, clearly intending to commit violence. Shouldn't we first try to calm him down so we can find a way to escape?

Even if he can't escape, we shouldn't provoke him.

Look how agitated he is! He was originally pale and bloodless, his body swaying precariously, but now his face is flushed red, and the veins on his arms are bulging. This isn't...

Are we forcing Takuba Shota to come and kill us?

Pei Jingzhi's guess was correct, but unfortunately, Xiao Mingzhao added fuel to the fire.

"Now that you already know about Xiangxiang, I won't hide it from you anymore. I used to love you deeply, but you couldn't come to Beijing. How could I bear the long nights alone?"

"I know I shouldn't have looked for Xiangxiang."

"But I only made a mistake that all women in the world would make."

"From the moment I learned you were coming to Beijing, I cut off all contact with Xiangxiang, all to wait for you. But you've truly disappointed me!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mingzhao stood up, slightly adjusted his sleeves, and stood calmly. The domineering aura that had accumulated over many years on the throne suddenly erupted at this moment.

"Shota, to be honest, I already have someone better in my heart. We've been in love, and I don't want our breakup to be too ugly."

"You should leave now."

"From now on, you go find your true love, and I will find my own place. We... will completely forget each other and never see each other again!"

Rumble!

Tuoba Xiangtai felt as if thunder was exploding wildly in his head, each clap louder than the last, shaking his already pale face, which then turned crimson with anger.

"You, you..."

"Do you have anyone else?"

"I've waited so many years for you, and you had so many other suitors?"

Tuoba Xiangtai burst into maniacal laughter, his laughter sharp and mad, his face suddenly turning cold, yet filled with love.

This extremely complex expression made Pei Jingzhi take a step forward, determined to protect Xiao Mingzhao behind him at all costs, because Pei Jingzhi had already sensed that Tuoba Xiangtai had gone mad.

"Hahaha……"

Tuoba Xiangtai's laughter gradually subsided, and his tone softened: "Luan'er, I've said it before, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. If you don't agree, I'll keep you by my side until the day you fall in love with me."

"If you try to run, I'll break your legs and gouge out your eyes."

"If you try to run again, I'll die with you."

After a pause, Tuoba Xiangtai stared intently at Xiao Mingzhao: "You promised you wouldn't try to run away again, but now, not only do you want to run away, you also want to have a secret rendezvous with other men, so I..."

"I can only die with you!"

Shota Takuba closed in step by step.

But Xiao Mingzhao showed no fear on his face. Instead, he looked calm and confident, which made Pei Jingzhi question his life.

No, such composure... could it be that His Majesty had anticipated this all along?

Little did she know that Xiao Mingzhao had already guessed that a peerless hero would come to rescue her riding on auspicious clouds.

"The way he rushed in to save me must have been so cool!"

"Show yourself, Ren Tianye!"

call out!

The blade flashed!

Tuoba Xiangtai stabbed her squarely in the lower abdomen.

This was only because Pei Jingzhi was fully alert and pushed Xiao Mingzhao hard at the critical moment; otherwise, Xiao Mingzhao would have died on the spot with that one stab!

When Tuoba Xiangtai's first strike failed to kill Xiao Mingzhao, the second strike flashed and stabbed into Xiao Mingzhao's body without hesitation.

Xiao Mingzhao's expression instantly changed from anticipation of happiness to utter astonishment, and then... his head lolled to the side, and with a "thud!" he fell to the ground!

"This...this is not what I expected!"
