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

As Xiao Mingzhao fell, her jade-like face still showed a look of astonishment, but her stunningly beautiful face still made Tuoba Xiangtai, the executioner, smile with a hint of happiness.

"Luan'er, you will finally stay with me."

"I told you, I will be with you for all eternity."

"The road to the underworld is long, and the nights in the netherworld are dark, but don't be afraid, I'll come to accompany you!"

Tuoba Xiangtai picked up the dagger he used to kill Xiao Mingzhao, turned around and slashed his own seppuku, then fell to the ground with a thud.

However, in the instant he fell to the ground, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't held Luan'er tightly after he died, so that they could be an enviable loving couple in the underworld.

Immediately, with his last breath, he moved toward Xiao Mingzhao, leaving bloody marks with each step, but his face was filled with an intense happiness that he could not hide.

However, when he was still half a foot away from Xiao Mingzhao, he was kicked away hard by a large foot.

"roll!"

"roll!"

"You barbarian savage, even in death you dare to defame my Yu people's emperor! Get out of my sight!"

Pei Jingzhi shouted loudly, but tears streamed down his face. He was just a civil official with no martial arts skills and could not stop Tuoba Xiangtai's sharp blade.

As a minister of the Great Yu, he had received the Great Yu's favor for generations, but he was unable to repay the Great Yu. Instead, he watched helplessly as His Majesty died with resentment behind him.

He is unworthy to be a subject!

How could we allow this barbarian scoundrel, Tuoba Xiangtai, to get close to His Majesty's body? So, when Tuoba Xiangtai tried to get closer again, he was kicked hard once more.

Pei Jingzhi kicked out with full force, fueled by hatred, sending Tuoba Xiangtai flying another foot away from Xiao Mingzhao.

At this point, Takuba Shota had no strength left.

His eyes widened, and he strained with all his might, but only blood continued to flow. His body grew weaker and weaker, and he uttered indescribable, collapsing sounds, which grew ever weaker and weaker...

He died with resentment and bitterness in his heart!

Pei Jingzhi didn't care about this scene at all; all he wanted to do was save Empress Xiao Mingzhao. Feeling a faint pulse in Xiao Mingzhao's arm, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, hold on! You must hold on! This old minister will go and find the imperial physician for you..."

Pei Jingzhi took off running.

The inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace was empty and deserted.

He cursed angrily as he headed out to the outer courtyard. He could hear the clanging of weapons and saw flames flickering as the shouts of battle grew louder.

When they arrived at the outer courtyard, they found it in complete chaos.

The border troops, all clad in armor, had already begun to annihilate the barbarians within the Imperial Palace. These barbarians, without horses for support and caught off guard, had almost entirely become the border troops' experience points.

Bian Jun killed one kid with a single knife.

Before long, many were dead or wounded.

The scene of bloodshed did not stop Pei Jingzhi for a moment. He rushed towards one of the generals, and when he got close, he grabbed him and saw that it was Wang Ming, the deputy general of Ren Tianye.

Wang Ming, wielding a knife, was now fighting like a madman, his body covered in blood, like a demon on the battlefield. But Pei Jingzhi showed no fear; instead, he exclaimed joyfully, "General Wang Ming, quick, quick, come with me, come with me..."

"His Majesty has been assassinated, and his life hangs in the balance."

"Quickly, find the imperial physician! Find the imperial physician..."

"What?!" Wang Ming looked utterly shocked. "His Majesty's life is hanging by a thread? That's terrible! We must find the imperial physician! But, sir, the barbarians are not yet exterminated. How can I find the imperial physician if we don't kill them all?"

"Wait a moment, after I've finished killing the barbarians, I'll go to the imperial physician immediately, without hesitation."

Pei Jingzhi was furious: "Why are you still killing barbarians?"

"It is His Majesty whose life hangs in the balance, it is His Majesty!"

"What's the point of killing barbarians if we don't go to save His Majesty?"

Wang Ming weakly said, "These are barbarians blocking our way. If we don't kill them, we won't be able to get out!"

"you……"

Pei Jingzhi pointed his halberd, his anger surging, but his mind remained calm. He knew that Wang Ming was deliberately stalling, after all, Wang Ming was Ren Tianye's deputy general, and he must be following Ren Tianye's orders.

A wave of annoyance washed over me.

If Hongxiu is reliable, then Wang Ming is now his man.

However, he couldn't dwell on this matter for the moment, so he turned and went to find someone else.

However, despite his advanced age and swift movements, capturing one border general after another, these border generals were only concerned with killing barbarians and showed no interest in His Majesty whatsoever.

Pei Jingzhi was unable to break free from the chaos of war to seek out others.

Moreover, His Majesty may not be able to hold on.

Overwhelmed with anxiety, he felt an immense pressure crashing down on him. Desperate, he could no longer care about anything else and cried out, "Generals, I, Pei Jingzhi, beg you!"

"Save His Majesty first! Save His Majesty first!"

The shouts were shrill and mournful, sounding particularly desolate amidst the fierce battle, yet they were met with indifference.

"Puff!" A sound.

Pei Jingzhi knelt down on the ground.

He kowtowed repeatedly.

"Generals, I beg you, my lords!"

"A country cannot be without a ruler! You must save His Majesty!"

A fierce wind, carrying the stench of blood, swept across the eaves of the Imperial Palace. Bloodstains stained the gilded tiles. The outer courtyard, with its carved beams and painted rafters, was littered with corpses and broken blades, filled with an overwhelming horde of border troops.

The border soldiers wielded their swords with fierce speed, yet not a single one of them even glanced at Pei Jingzhi.

Pei Jingzhi's heart suddenly sank.

With morale low and border troops disobeying the king's orders, His Majesty is on the verge of death. Is the vast land of Great Yu truly about to collapse amidst this blood-soaked fog?

The shouts of battle gradually subsided. The thousands of barbarians inside the Imperial Palace were quickly wiped out by the border troops' blades. Only then did one person leisurely make his appearance, surrounded by numerous guards.

Pei Jingzhi looked up and saw Ren Tianye, the commander of the Northern Frontier Army. In the past, Pei Jingzhi would not have given him a second glance, but now, he staggered and rushed over.

"General Ren, please save His Majesty! His Majesty has been wounded by Tuoba Xiangtai's knife and is on the verge of death. He needs the imperial physician's help!"

Ren Tianye's expression instantly changed drastically, and he said, "What? Tuoba Xiangtai, that barbarian, is truly despicable! This general will go and behead his dog right now!"

"He has committed suicide, General Ren! You must hurry and save His Majesty! Quickly summon the imperial physician!"

"Absolutely!" Ren Tianye said with a righteous expression, looking at Wang Ming. Wang Ming understood and moved closer to Ren Tianye, saying, "After about half an hour, the bleeding stopped."

Ren Tianye nodded, but his expression suddenly changed: "Wang Ming, how dare you! His Majesty is on the verge of death, why aren't you calling the imperial physician? What are you waiting here for?"

"I must see the imperial physician within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"Yes!" Wang Ming understood immediately and ran out to find his personal guard to relay the order: "You have one incense stick's time; the imperial physician must arrive."

The personal guards, also trained by Wang Ming, immediately relayed the order: "You have one hour; the imperial physician must arrive!"

The messenger, upon receiving the order, immediately told the young man who had just become a messenger: "You have one day and one night; the imperial physician must arrive!"
