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

Su Jin is in a hurry!

Forced by circumstances, we are extremely anxious!

She must find out everything as soon as possible and be prepared, at least mentally prepared, otherwise, if all the guesses are proven to be true, her and her second uncle's efforts will completely collapse.

So she immediately found Zhou Ze, the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, and asked him to continue dealing with the bewitching objects in the capital. She, along with Xie Changfeng, focused on the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan, the prostitute empress, and even that woman with a special bond of affection.

Perhaps it was a stroke of luck for the Su family, because just as Su Jin and Zhou Ze had finished their discussion, their capable subordinate Xie Changfeng brought them some good news.

However, when Xie Changfeng told Su Jin the news, Su Jin was stunned.

Although everything was expected, hearing it actually still felt...

It's outrageous!

He returned to the Duke of Ren's residence and found Ren Tianye: "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."

"Get up. Judging from your expression, perhaps you've gained something?"

"Yes," Su Jin said. "When we were investigating Xiao Jingyuan and the matter of the prostitute empress, we deliberately went to the brothel where the prostitute empress used to work. As expected, it had already been demolished before the prostitute empress became empress."

"I had given up hope, but I never expected this..."

"Xie Changfeng, we've found it..."

As she spoke, Su Jin gritted her teeth and said, "We found an old man. That old man, he used to be..."

"He's a patron of a prostitute!"

Ren Tianye: "Huh? Huh! Huh!!!"

"From the mouth of the former patron of the prostitute, a long list of names were found. They were all her lovers when she was in the brothel, but most of them are no longer around."

"I suspect he was killed by Xiao Jingyuan."

"Fortunately, some of them died of old age, and their sons are still serving in the court, holding the position of Military Equipment Supervisor in the Great Yu Dynasty!"

Ren Tianye blurted out, "Wei Chengye?"

Ren Tianye knew about this person.

It wasn't because this person was particularly powerful, but because his official position was one with real power, controlling the two core weapon depots of the capital: the armory and the imperial treasury.

Ren Tianye had wanted to win over the city ever since he entered Kyoto.

However, at that time, there was a severe shortage of talent, and it was difficult to find suitable candidates.

Moreover, at the time, he cultivated an image of loyalty to the public and had no suitable reason to seize power from Wei Chengye.

He then placed his own people in the armory and the inner treasury. According to the reports from the people he placed, Wei Chengye had taken leave and had not been in office for a long time.

Ren Tianye was relieved.

Thinking that Wei Chengye was a pragmatic person who dared not compete with him, they took the initiative to give up the armory and the inner treasury under the pretext of rest, handing over these two core weapon arsenals to him.

I actually have a rather favorable impression of Wei Chengye.

But little did they expect that Wei Chengye's ancestors...

It has such a glorious history!

Tsk tsk tsk!

In some respects, he was on equal footing with the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan!

"Talented!"

"They're all incredibly talented!"

"Xiao Jingyuan is a talented person, and Wei Chengye's father is also a talented person. It's remarkable that he was able to retire peacefully and enjoy his old age under Xiao Jingyuan's command!"

"Indeed, that's the case, and it's something I can't figure out either," Su Jin said. "Therefore, I believe that Wei Chengye must have some kind of relationship with the prostitute, Xiao Jingyuan, and even the woman in the portrait."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"Go catch it!"

Su Jin said, "I have already sent Xie Changfeng. I will go after I have reported. However, this will disturb Wei Chengye."

"Did I disturb you?" Ren Tianye asked. "What's wrong with him?"

"As far as I know, Wei Chengye is preparing for his wedding and has already notified his family, relatives, and friends."

"That's certainly a disturbance," Ren Tianye chuckled. "But there's nothing I can do. His father is so fierce; at a time like this, I can't avoid disturbing him..."

After a pause, Ren Tianye looked at Su Jin, whose expression seemed off, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Su Jin gritted her teeth again and said, "Wei Chengye, the woman you're going to marry is no ordinary woman!"

"How unusual is it?"

"Yes, yes...it's an old woman!"

Ren Tianye had just sat down when he heard the words "old woman" and stood up again, asking incredulously, "What did you say?"

"An old woman?"

"yes!"

"Sure?"

"Absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt!"

How old are you?

"Forty-nine!"

Ren Tianye: "..."

He knew Wei Chengye, and naturally knew Wei Chengye's approximate age, which was probably in his early thirties.

No, a man in his early thirties marrying a woman nearing fifty?

"Is that old woman a powerful figure in the capital?"

"It shouldn't be," Su Jin said. "What my subordinates found out is that the old woman was just an ordinary village woman."

"So she takes exceptionally good care of herself and looks like she's only thirty?" Ren Tianye tried hard to come up with a reason.

"No, not exactly!" Su Jin said, "Judging from Xie Changfeng's report, the old woman was plain-looking and stout, but her face was somewhat fair, which must have been natural."

Ren Tianye was completely confused.

No, she's not from a powerful or wealthy family, and she's not particularly attractive, so why would Wei Chengye want to marry her?

"Because of love!"

Su Jin gave Ren Tianye a resolute answer!
