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

Pei Jingzhi stepped forward to offer a reminder.

In fact, it needs to be properly rectified.

However, before he could speak, the man seemed to have heard the noise and turned his head first.

In that instant, Pei Jingzhi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Looking at the person in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

This person...

She looks just like him!

No, to be precise, he looks like him when he was young!

As dashing and debonair as he was in his youth.

"How can they look so alike?"

"Could we be related by blood?"

"My distant nephew?"

At this moment, Pei Jingzhi's mind suddenly became somewhat agitated.

Many bad premonitions seemed to flood his mind without warning, but he still firmly believed in his wife Liu's character.

I tried my best to control my mind and stop thinking about it.

He asked, "Who are you?"

The young man didn't reply immediately. Instead, he looked him up and down, his gaze filled with scrutiny and provocation, before coldly saying, "Another one has arrived!"

"He's still an old one."

"Oh!"

"Brother, listen to my advice. You can't handle Madam Liu like this. Go back obediently and let me take over."

"What did you say?"

Pei Jingzhi frowned. The words were cryptic and left him somewhat confused, but the ominous premonition he had just suppressed surged back up and overwhelmed his heart.

"Are you pretending not to understand?"

The man scoffed, "Newcomers are all like you, too reserved, thinking they're something special. But once you've seen it all and stayed for a while, you'll understand..."

"The competition is fierce."

"I advise you to go back."

"At your age, you have no advantages. At best, you'll only be of novelty to Madam Liu, and you'll be out of here in a few days."

Pei Jingzhi was even more confused, and the panic in his heart intensified. In addition, Dongxiang's previous behavior naturally surfaced in his mind, and Pei Jingzhi... was extremely flustered.

Just as they were about to reveal their identities and ask for clarification, suddenly, the sound of a great bell and drum resounded throughout the entire Liuyun Manor.

The man's expression changed, and he immediately put down the stone, picked up his clothes, and quickly walked inside while putting them on.

Pei Jingzhi's shouts were completely ignored.

Pei Jingzhi could only follow, heading towards the booming sound. They crossed corridors and bridges, but the person was moving too fast. Pei Jingzhi could only keep up for two steps before he ran out of strength and could only watch helplessly as the person disappeared into the distance.

This has left him without a goal.

The only option was to continue towards the sound of the great bell and drum.

Just after turning past a rockery, another young man was seen hurrying towards the direction of the sound of the bell and drum. This was not surprising, after all, there could never be no men in Liuyun Manor.

Can……

This person was also so young.

His clothes were still disheveled and he was drenched in sweat, clearly like the person from before, he had gone somewhere to train his body.

That's strange!

But what's even stranger is Pei Jingzhi's inner demons.

Training!

Training!

Training!

This is something his wife, Madam Liu, often asks him to do, always telling him to maintain a strong physique. But why is it so common in Liuyun Manor?

Pei Jingzhi could no longer contain his fear and strode after him, saying, "Brother..."

The words had barely left his mouth when the man turned around.

Boom!

It felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in my mind.

Pei Jingzhi trembled, feeling a buzzing in his head.

This person...

It seems so!

He looks like he was when he was young!

He looks just like the young man who entered Liuyun Manor!

How could there be two people who look so much like him when he was young?

"Yo!"

In the short time Pei Jingzhi had paused, the man sneered, "Another one? Madam Liu is indeed extraordinary, managing to find someone like this. But aren't you a bit too old?"

"Look at your physique, your appearance, how could you possibly catch the eye of the lady?"

"Sir, I advise you to go back!"

"With your small frame, you can't handle it!"

The man spoke very quickly and didn't stop walking much, so he hadn't even finished speaking before he was gone, leaving Pei Jingzhi standing there bewildered in the wind.

The person even began to tremble slightly.

Negative speculations flooded in like a tidal wave.

Flood him!

He felt as if he had been plunged into the deep sea, with only darkness above him and a tiny glimmer of hope in his heart as the only remaining light.

But this glimmer of light was quickly covered by dark clouds again.

Because Pei Jingzhi encountered a third person.

Young, handsome, and physically strong, he walked briskly, also heading towards the place with the resounding bells and drums.

and,

This person looks a lot like him when he was young!

"Three already, three almost identical faces, the same height, the same hairstyle... What on earth is wrong with Willow Cloud Manor?"

Pei Jingzhi quickly cleared it out.

When he hurried to the source of the loud bell and drum sounds, he saw an extremely elegant courtyard, which was already packed with people who had come from all directions of Liuyun Village.

These people were almost identical to the three people he had met along the way.

Young, handsome, and physically fit...

He looks exactly the same as he did when he was young!

Pei Jingzhi stood there, his last glimmer of hope completely extinguished by the surging seawater. He was so breathless that he could hardly breathe, and his face turned bright red.

Eighteen!

Eighteen identical faces!

Eighteen identical people!

Eighteen of them, him when he was young!

This……

What exactly happened?

Of the eighteen people who arrived, none of them paid any attention to Pei Jingzhi; instead, they started arguing.

"Madam will be back soon. We agreed that we would line up and wait for her to choose. But let me make this clear: this time, it must be fair!"

"Yes, it has to be fair. It can't be like last time. Madam clearly chose me, but that damn number two impersonated me and went to accompany Madam. He's utterly shameless!"

"Fair, fair, fucking fair! This time, if anyone does something that my wife doesn't like and then tries to frame me, I'll fucking kill him!"

"I also think it must be fair. Let's put in our best efforts and let Madam see who is more like him and who is more to her liking. Otherwise, we should all step aside, or we'll deal with him together."

"Yes, that's the way we must do it. You know, the method that makes us more like each other was taught to the Lady by His Majesty. How could His Majesty be wrong in doing things?"

"Wow, you know quite a lot, huh?"

"Of course, my wife dotes on me the most, and I also know that His Majesty learned this from the White-Robed Prime Minister at Chongning Temple, so it is extremely precious."

"You know too much. We brothers have decided that this time, anyone can accompany the lady, except you!"

"agree!"

"Agreed, add one!"

"Agreed, add two!"

"Agreed, add seventeen!"

……

Amidst the commotion and vying for favor, someone shouted, "The lady is back!" The eighteen people instantly fell silent. They were clearly well-trained, as they formed a neat square formation.

However, this formation is quite strange.

A group of nine people, facing a wide open space.

The other row also had nine people, standing back to back, also facing a wide open space.

They all stood up straight, and regardless of whether they were strong-willed or timid, they all displayed the air of someone from a military background.

"Excellent, excellent, I'm very satisfied with all of you..."

Liu's voice drifted over from afar, tinged with amusement.
