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

Ren Tianye was full of questions.

"What?"

"Because of love?"

"So everything is a picture of happiness?"

Su Jin was immediately shocked.

"My lord, how did you know that Wei Chengye's next sentence was this?"

"Is this really it?"

Ren Tianye was no longer calm.

"That's right!" Su Jin said, "Wei Chengye's family, relatives and friends all strongly opposed this marriage, but Wei Chengye was extremely determined and even brought up what the Empress had said to him."

"Wei Chengye told his people that the Empress had once encouraged him, saying that in one's life, everything else can be compromised, but love is the one thing that cannot be compromised. If one cannot find the one he loves in this life, he would rather grow old alone than conform to the world and let his true heart sink into the mud."

"Furthermore, the Empress told him that because of love, one will not easily be sad, so everything will appear as happiness!"

"Wei Chengye remembers it very clearly."

"His relatives and friends are almost going crazy, and they remember it clearly."

"But, Duke, how do you know so much about this?"

Ren Tianye breathed a sigh of relief.

So the words came from Empress Xiao Mingzhao, then there's no problem!

However, Wei Chengye is truly an honest young man.

He listened to Xiao Mingzhao's nonsense; no wonder he married a nearly fifty-year-old woman.

It's hopeless.

He replied, "I naturally have a way of finding out."

"Now, take your men and go. Wei Chengye has been infatuated with lust and has neglected his duties for a long time, causing military and political problems to fall into disarray. Your Demon Suppression Division should also be executed."

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Su Jin immediately went out.

They hadn't gone far when Xie Changfeng, the deputy, sent someone to report.

Wei Chengye did not live in the Wei residence, but rather resided in the Pei residence.

"Lord Pei?"

Su Jin said calmly, "The Duke only gave him seven days, which is about enough. Today is a good day to give him a reminder."

……

Pei Residence!

"Lord Chen, Lord Pei has returned."

After the servant reported this, Chen Liang quickly stood up. Finally, the wait was over. He hurried out and soon saw Pei Jingzhi's carriage.

Thinking that he would be leaving Kyoto and the Pei family soon, and that this would be the last time the two of them saw each other, and that there was no guarantee that they would have the chance to meet again in the future, Chen Liang felt a little sad and became even more respectful.

He personally stepped forward and helped Pei Jingzhi down from the carriage.

"I have come to bid farewell to you, sir."

Chen Liang said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I can't stay in this capital any longer. The rebels are too powerful, and I have no chance, and I'm almost at the point where I have nowhere to hide."

"The only option is to stay away."

"only……"

Chen Liang supported Pei Jingzhi, but because of his guilt, he didn't dare to look Pei Jingzhi in the eye. He kept his head down and supported him, completely unaware of Pei Jingzhi's expression.

"However, I have not done what you instructed me to do."

"Of the three squad leaders of the Imperial Guard, one had already been planted by Ren Tianye's men, and the remaining two... alas, one accompanied a woman to wander the world and was killed by the Demon Suppression Division."

"I have repeatedly warned the last remaining heir, but he insisted on saying 'she is different,' and was captured by the Demon Suppression Division."

"Now, the Imperial Guard has completely fallen out of control, and I am no longer able to assist you, sir."

After a pause, Chen Liang finally managed to raise his head and said, "This humble official is sorry, sir, I have failed your expectations..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Liang realized that Pei Jingzhi's complexion was extremely bad, to a degree that he had never seen before.

You should know that when Pei Jingzhi was arguing with the Empress in court about disaster relief and grain allocation, he was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring, and even fell seriously ill, but he didn't look like this.

This is……

What's wrong?

"Sir, are you...are you alright?"

Pei Jingzhi then turned his head and looked at Chen Liang.

But his eyes were empty and numb; he looked like a living person, yet he was no different from a dead one.

"My lord..." Chen Liang was terrified. "Are you... are you really alright?"

As they were talking, the two arrived at the study.

Pei Jingzhi sat down directly in the chair, and as he did so, it was as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on the chair, which even made the chair creak.

Chen Liang became increasingly terrified.

This Lord Pei Jingzhi is acting very strangely!

What's wrong?

So, Lady Liu really doesn't care about our past relationship as husband and wife and is helping Lord Pei?

Is Lord Pei saddened by this?

Before anyone could ask, Pei Jingzhi spoke first, his tone unreadable, his voice trembling slightly: "The Imperial Guards... are they no longer usable?"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Liang quickly lowered his head, feeling a surge of guilt, but he quickly composed himself, knowing that since things had come to this point, he could only suppress his thoughts and deal with the situation first.

He said, "The Imperial Guards are no longer usable, and besides..."

"Hongxiu can't be used either."

Pei Jingzhi stared blankly at Chen Liang, seemingly with some doubt.

Chen Liang quickly replied, "When I arrived at the Pei residence, I happened to run into her. At that time, she had already packed her bags. When I questioned her, she said that you, Lord Pei, can only give her money, interpretation, and status, but you cannot resonate with her soul."

"So, she's going to elope with someone."

"I couldn't stop her. Now, she's probably already escaped, and might even have left the capital..."

As Chen Liang spoke, he noticed that Pei Jingzhi's expression had worsened, so he quickly said, "My lord, this matter is actually not difficult to resolve. As long as you make a call, Hongxiu doesn't have wings; she can capture that lowly servant at any time."

"Sir, shall I go to the yamen to convey your message?"

"This is the last thing I'll do for you before I leave."

"Hehe..." Pei Jingzhi didn't answer whether it was okay or not, but just let out a "hehe" sound from his throat that was hard to describe as either crying or laughing.

"Sir, are you...are you really alright?"

"hehe……"

"Sir, I know a doctor with exceptional medical skills. I'll fetch him for you right now, shall I?"

Pei Jingzhi: "Hehe..."

Chen Liang: "Sir, have you perhaps suffered some kind of shock?"

Pei Jingzhi: "Hehe..."

Pei Jingzhi's living dead appearance sent chills down Chen Liang's spine. It felt as if Pei Jingzhi didn't care about anything at this moment, and was completely isolated from the world.

There is a kind of sorrow that is greater than the death of the heart.

Lord Pei Jingzhi seems to be in this state.

Therefore, Chen Liang could only proceed with even greater caution and trial and error.

"grown ups……"

Pei Jingzhi: "Hehe..."

Chen Liang: "My lord..."

Pei Jingzhi: "Hehe..."

Chen Liang: "Hehe!"

Pei Jingzhi: "Heh... um?"

Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, it's good that you're still conscious. You absolutely cannot collapse at a time like this..."

Chen Liang felt an urge to persuade Pei Jingzhi to leave with him again, but he knew Pei Jingzhi wouldn't leave, and Ren Tianye wouldn't let Pei Jingzhi go either.

He could only say, "My lord, I will go find a doctor for you right away. Please be careful that nothing happens to you."

Chen Liang summoned the butler and asked him to take good care of Pei Jingzhi before leaving. No sooner had he left than Wei Chengye arrived.

Wei Chengye wasn't alone; he was accompanied by a shy-looking... old woman!
