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

For a moment, all the officials in the White Tiger Hall fell silent.

Ren Tianye nodded in satisfaction; the matter could basically be settled.

First, become a powerful minister, and after two or three years, win over the hearts of the people, then you can make that son of so-and-so abdicate in his favor.

Although it will take a little longer for him to ascend the throne, it will be more stable this way.

It suited his taste perfectly.

After a brief discussion with his ministers, Ren Tianye went to rest in a side hall, and Su Pengcheng followed him in.

"Pengcheng, your recommendation this time is very much to my liking."

"This is a great achievement, and I, the Grand Commandant, will remember it."

Su Pengcheng cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Grand Commandant. However, my recommendation of the Marquis of Xuan'en's son is not entirely for your sake."

"Oh?"

Ren Tianye asked in surprise, "Then what's the point?"

"For the sake of this world!"

The topic suddenly became too high-level, making Ren Tianye feel for a moment that Su Pengcheng had transformed into Pei Jingzhi. However, given the great reputation of the Su family in the capital and their role as role models for scholars throughout the land, it was not surprising that Su Pengcheng, despite his age, remained as gentle and refined as a gentleman.

"It seems you trust this Grand Commandant quite a bit!"

Ren Tianye thought that Su Pengcheng was still paving the way for him, but unexpectedly, Su Pengcheng said: "This humble subject naturally trusts the Grand Commandant. Ever since the Grand Commandant annihilated the 30,000 barbarian troops outside the north city of the capital and wiped out the barbarian soldiers in the Imperial Palace, my Su family in the capital will follow the general's lead from now on."

"but……"

"I do indeed have my own selfish reasons for supporting the son of the Marquis of Xuan'en."

Ren Tianye finally understood.

Su Pengcheng's words had a hidden meaning.

His expression turned slightly serious as he said, "Then tell me, what exactly are your ulterior motives?"

Su Pengcheng knelt on the ground and said, "This humble subject only wishes that the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, even if he is manipulated by others and becomes a puppet, must never be of the late emperor's bloodline, and must not let the late emperor's bloodline affect the fate of the nation!"

"It will impact countless ordinary people across the world!"

Ren Tianye frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, the glory of your Su family was taken by Xiao Mingzhao, wasn't it?"

"Why do you hold such a grudge against the late emperor?"

"Because he married a prostitute and made her his empress?"

Su Pengcheng, tears streaming down his face, said, "Grand Commandant, my Su family in the capital has been historians for generations. A single word from us can be remembered for posterity, and a single stroke of our pen can set the standard for governance. We have held the reins of the imperial examinations for generations, and our students and former officials are all over the court and the country. Half of the scholars in the country have come from our Su family. We have been illustrious for hundreds of years. As long as Your Majesty has not defied the world, how could you so easily let my Su family fall to such a state?"

"It all started with the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan!"

Su Pengcheng could no longer hold back his tears: "This is a secret I have kept in my heart for decades. Today, I will tell the Grand Commandant everything."

"I once had a daughter who was beautiful and graceful. She once met Xiao Jingyuan by chance, and he was captivated by her. He then vowed to marry my daughter."

These words startled Ren Tianye slightly.

Who would have thought that the Su family in Kyoto almost became royalty, and even had an empress!

However, that's clearly not the case right now.

What happened?

After refusing the late emperor, were they retaliated against?

Su Pengcheng continued, "Xiao Jingyuan went mad for my daughter. He guarded my Su family's villa every day, and even when he was beaten by unsuspecting people, he didn't give up."

"I'll warm my daughter's favorite sweet glutinous rice cake with my chest and deliver it to her by fast horse."

"Later, when Xiao Jingyuan learned that my daughter was already engaged, he cried bitterly, but took the initiative to act as matchmaker, help choose the betrothal gifts, and willingly made the marriage possible."

Before Su Pengcheng could finish speaking, Ren Tianye was startled again.

Thinking to himself, "This is where Su Pengcheng is wrong. Xiao Jingyuan is the Emperor of Great Yu. He has gone to such lengths for your daughter. It's just a marriage contract. You can just break it off. How could you actually go against his wishes?"

Unexpectedly, Su Pengcheng added, "Seeing Xiao Jingyuan's sincerity, I had no choice but to swallow my pride, break off the engagement, and marry my daughter to Xiao Jingyuan."

"After marriage, Xiao Jingyuan also doted on my daughter. He once promised my daughter: 'One life, one love, one partner, the harem will be empty, only her.'"

Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye was truly baffled.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that Xiao Jingyuan was indeed a bit love-struck, but it wasn't a big problem. In fact, he genuinely regarded Su Pengcheng's daughter as his ideal woman.

Su Pengcheng's behavior was also impeccable, so...

How could such intense hatred arise?

"Originally, everything should have been a time of great success for the Su family, and I was indeed quite pleased with myself for a few years. But unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyuan went on a private visit one day, leaving the palace for a tour, and passed by a brothel."

"I saw the prostitute."

"When I first met her, I only felt that the Empress Dowager looked somewhat like my daughter, which aroused my curiosity. But after all that happened, I became more and more fond of her, and summoned her to the palace and made her a Noble Consort."

"Going further, depose my daughter from her position as Empress and elevate the former prostitute to Empress."

Ren Tianye: "???"

No way, holy crap!

"If that were all, then so be it."

Su Pengcheng said, "I just think my daughter is unlucky."

"But Xiao Jingyuan, influenced by that wicked empress's wicked words, wanted to leave only her in the palace. So he took a knife and personally killed my daughter!"

Ren Tianye suddenly stood up.

His face was filled with shock!

killed?

Kill your own white moonlight?

For a prostitute?

Depend on!

So that's where Xiao Mingzhao's crazy and eccentric personality came from!

"Back then..." Su Pengcheng's voice grew louder, tears streaming down his face, one after another, as a thousand pains welled up in his heart: "Back then, my daughter was already six months pregnant, and Xiao Jingyuan, one knife, two lives!"

Ren Tianye was so shocked that he was speechless.

You're six months pregnant!

That's Xiao Jingyuan's own child!

So, he was killed?

Is this even human?

Is this even human?

Damn it... Ren Tianye then felt like laughing again.

That kind of laughter that comes from being extremely angry.

"The late emperor? Xiao Jingyuan?"

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"He treated a prostitute who had been used and discarded by others like a treasure, marrying her into the palace and even killing his first love and his unborn child for her..."

"Does the Xiao family's bloodline carry any abnormal genes?"

"Damn it!"
