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

Ren Tianye couldn't say for sure how long this person in a vegetative state could remain in that state.

After all, that young man from the Li family survived a knife and an arrow wound and was still able to ride a horse at full speed.

Xiao Mingzhao's luck is definitely much stronger than that of the young man from the Li family.

However, it doesn't matter anymore.

The fact that Xiao Mingzhao cannot wake up, or at least that the news spreads that Xiao Mingzhao cannot wake up in the short term, is enough for him.

Now that Xiao Mingzhao is in such a state, unable to handle national affairs, a new master is needed, and he must be accompanied by a trusted minister like him. However…

Right now, someone needs to offer advice.

"Pfft!"

Su Pengcheng knelt down and cried out, "His Majesty was assassinated by Tuoba Xiangtai, and is now unconscious and devoid of consciousness. Medicine is ineffective, and he has no hope of ruling the country again!"

"The foundation of the state is empty. I risk my life to offer this advice: I request that the Grand Commandant select a new emperor from among the imperial clan, and that he assume temporary authority over all affairs of state to ensure peace and stability in the country!"

Pei Jingzhi instantly roared in fury, "Traitor! Although His Majesty has suffered a severe injury, his health is still intact, yet you are already plotting to establish a new emperor and appoint someone as regent. This is treason! This is usurpation! Even if I die on the spot, I will never allow it!"

Ren Tianye smiled slightly, then said with a face full of grief, "Lord Pei is loyal and righteous, but please rest assured, if His Majesty were to be assassinated but not yet dead, and to discuss a new emperor and seize power, it would be putting me in a position of inhumanity and injustice, and endangering the court. I, Ren Tianye, would rather die than do such a thing. Gentlemen, please do not say anything more!"

After saying that, Ren Tianye turned around gracefully and had someone take Xiao Mingzhao back to the palace. Once everything was arranged, he personally followed along and left the Yu Chen Mansion.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw 20,000 border troops and imperial guards from who-knows-where kneeling all over the street.

The moment they saw Ren Tianye, they all shouted in unison.

"His Majesty is gravely ill and unlikely to recover. The court and the people are in a state of panic, and the morale of the army is on the verge of collapse. Only by quickly establishing a new emperor and entrusting the Grand Commandant with full authority over the affairs of state can the realm be stabilized!"

"We jointly request that the Grand Commandant assume the reins of government!"

It was a grand and imposing event.

The shouts of tens of thousands of people shook the entire capital of Kyoto.

But Ren Tianye remained seated on his horse, displaying the demeanor of a loyal minister of the Great Yu Dynasty, and loudly proclaimed: "Establishing a ruler and governing the country are of paramount importance. As long as His Majesty is alive, I will serve as his subject for life. You are using military force to coerce me, thus endangering my reputation as a usurper. I absolutely cannot comply!"

"Get out of the way!"

The soldiers dared not block Ren Tianye's path, and they all stepped aside to make way for Ren Tianye to escort Xiao Mingzhao back to the palace.

Lieutenant Wang Ming jogged along, his face beaming with undisguised joy, keeping close behind.

This has happened twice already, you can't refuse next time!

……

Kyoto, a three-story restaurant!

Zhou Ze, the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, and Su Jin, the deputy commander, sat at the table.

"His Majesty is still unconscious, and the country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Within the next three to five days, a new emperor will likely be enthroned, with the Grand Commandant assuming full power. On this day of renewal, I wonder if what we have uncovered will be enough to give the Grand Commandant a satisfactory explanation?"

Zhou Ze frowned slightly as he asked.

The Demon Suppression Division is still in its early stages and is far from perfect, but both Zhou Ze and Su Jin are eager to make a name for themselves and have already arranged manpower to start making preparations.

But unexpectedly, some things are as light as four ounces when you don't weigh them, but once you do, they weigh a ton!

They were tasked with eliminating all the evil spirits and monsters in the capital, but they inadvertently stumbled upon the source. They initially thought that Empress Xiao Mingzhao was the origin, but they did not expect that there was someone else!

Empress Xiao Mingzhao slaughtered 70,000 Chifeng soldiers and let the barbarians into the capital, causing great disaster to the Great Yu Dynasty. She was already invincible, but she never expected that the late emperor was even more of a master!

Marrying a prostitute and making her empress was already astonishing, but no one could have imagined that this was just the most insignificant of all the things the late emperor had done.

At present, the Demon Suppression Division has only seen a small part of the whole picture and knows only a few clues. They are already stunned and dare not imagine what kind of shocking events will be uncovered as the investigation continues.

Su Jin was well aware of this.

"What does it matter if the world is in chaos? A wise ruler has emerged, and the divine weapon will surely choose its own master. The wise ruler will surely sweep away everything in this world. You and I only need to obey the Grand Commandant's orders and eliminate these things one by one."

"No need to worry!"

Hearing Su Jin say this, Zhou Ze immediately felt relieved.

Having served the Grand Commandant for a long time, Su Jin knew him quite well. Her words meant it wasn't a problem, but... right now, the late Emperor's affairs needed to be taken more seriously.

We must find out everything as soon as possible and report to the Grand Commandant. This would be a tremendous achievement for the newly established Demon Suppression Division.

Thinking this way, he subconsciously began to plan his next move. Su Jin followed his approach, after all, the newly established Demon Suppression Division desperately needed to make achievements, and Su Jin was even more eager to do so.

The two remained silent for a long time. After a while, Su Jin, who was tired from sitting, stood up. This place was where the two had temporarily met. The view was excellent. Not only could they see the city gate, but they could also look out over a large part of the capital.

Looking around, all you see are bustling crowds.

Last night's battle clearly did not have much impact on the people of Kyoto. Even as Lin Zixiao's army gradually approached from the south, the common people of Kyoto continued as usual.

His gaze slowly swept across the crowd below, and involuntarily fell on a woman dressed in white, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, with a white veil lightly covering her face. He moved slightly, but then looked somewhat saddened.

Of the three Su sisters, only she is still alive. Although she knows that her second sister Su Xiu and third sister Su Li brought this upon themselves, how could she so easily sever the bond of blood?

In the dead of night, I often recall the scenes of playing and laughing with my two younger sisters when we were children. When I wake up the next day, my pillow is always wet with tears.

At first glance, the woman in front of her did resemble her third sister, Su Li, which stirred her heart. However, the woman was much thinner than her third sister, almost like a bamboo pole.

Just as he was about to refocus his thoughts on the Demon Suppression Division, he suddenly felt a gentle breeze stirring, and the white veil in front of the woman in the crowd in the distance was also fluttered.

A gaunt profile was revealed!

With just one glance, Su Jin was terrified, her face filled with disbelief!

How is that possible?

How could that be!

How could she resemble her third sister, Su Li, so much?

Upon closer inspection, Su Jin saw that the woman had already stretched out her slender white hand to block the rising breeze. Su Jin could no longer see her eyebrows and eyes, but she could only feel that the woman was aloof and cold, like a lonely shadow under the moon, silent and untouched by the world.

Su Jin felt slightly relieved.

She and her third sister, Su Li, had been together since childhood and were very familiar with each other. She knew that her third sister, Su Li, did not have this kind of demeanor, and that the person in front of her was more like that.

Can……

Before I even sat down, my heart jumped again.

What if...that's it?!

Otherwise, how could she feel such a strong sense of familiarity at just one glance?

"Could it be that Second Uncle, out of consideration for family ties, secretly hid Third Sister and lied that she was dead? To deceive the General?"
