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

"Lord Pei, are you alright?"

Wei Chengye immediately noticed Pei Jingzhi's unusual expression and respectfully asked urgently, "Should we go and call a doctor?"

Pei Jingzhi remained silent, but the steward quickly spoke up: "Lord Chen Liang has already gone to fetch him, but he is unwell. If you have nothing urgent, please wait a few days before coming back."

Wei Chengye hesitated for a moment: "But this is something important to me."

"Lord Pei, I know I shouldn't be bothering you right now, but this matter is of utmost importance, concerning my lifelong happiness, so I have no choice but to speak..."

As he spoke, Wei Chengye subconsciously looked to the side, where his Cai Gen Hua stood gently, not particularly graceful, but unusually quiet and serene.

A warmth filled my heart, which strengthened my resolve.

"Lord Pei, I, I, I can't work with you anymore. I've already written a secret letter about your plan to deal with Ren Tianye, and I just sent it to the Demon Suppression Division."

"I, Wei Chengye, am breaking with you."

Pei Jingzhi was in a daze on his way back, as if he were not in this world. Past scenes swirled in his mind, and his heart was being stabbed like a knife.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was mentally unstable.

But now, after hearing Wei Chengye's words, he suddenly came to his senses.

A surge of turbid air welled up in my heart.

He practically slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming in surprise, "What...what did you say?"

Wei Chengye's face was full of shame: "Lord Pei, I know that you were once a close friend of my father and have done me a great favor. It can be said that without you, Lord Pei, there would be no Wei Chengye today."

"My life should have been yours."

"If I had entrusted my life to you before, I, Wei Chengye, would not have hesitated at all."

"But now..."

"I can't take it anymore!"

"I have to be responsible for the people I love!"

Boom!

Stimulating words are the best cure for a heart attack. Pei Jingzhi instantly became more energetic than ever, his mind racing. He immediately thought of Chen Liang's worries when he and Chen Liang discussed rescuing the Empress and dealing with Ren Tianye!

Chen Liang was worried that Wei Chengye, having spent so much time in the armory and rarely seen women, might cause a scene upon encountering one this time.

He made special arrangements for this.

They only found an old woman to take care of Wei Chengye's daily life, and didn't give Wei Chengye any chance to see women at all!

How...

Then you'll find someone you love?

"Where did you find your loved one?"

"Did a little sister fall from the sky?"

Pei Jingzhi roared.

The sound shook the roof tiles!

Wei Chengye was so shocked that he involuntarily took half a step back, but after glancing at the vegetable root flower, his courage swelled up again.

He reached out and grasped Cai Genhua's words.

Cai Genhua also reached out her hand and clasped his fingers tightly.

The two held hands, their hearts intertwined.

With unprecedented courage, Wei Chengye shouted, his voice tinged with a mixture of screaming and pride, "Lord Pei, this is the one I love!"

"Vegetable root flowers!"

Cai Genhua also straightened her chest and tried her best to look like a little bird nestled in Wei Chengye's arms.

Boom!

It was like a thunderclap!

Pei Jingzhi jumped up, his expression returning to normal.

"You, you, you..."

"You and this old woman?"

"Is this old woman the one you love?"

"You're treating her like your mother, aren't you?"

Wei Chengye's face instantly turned displeased, and he said coldly, "Lord Pei, please watch your words. Cai Genhua is the one I love. I have already informed my family, and I will be marrying her openly and honorably in the near future."

"She is about to become my wife, Wei Chengye."

"How dare you insult my wife like this?"

Cai Genhua immediately knelt down, her face streaked with tears, and said, "Lord Pei, I know I am just a lowly servant girl, and I am old. You don't agree."

Actually, I don't agree either.

"Lord Wei is so devoted to me, how could I refuse him and hurt his feelings?"

"Lord Pei, rest assured, after I marry into the Wei family, I will continue to take meticulous care of Lord Wei's daily life, just as I do now, and I will never let Lord Wei suffer the slightest grievance."

"hehe……"

Pei Jingzhi couldn't help but chuckle again, his face full of amusement.

It was unclear whether he was laughing at Wei Chengye, at himself, or at the ridiculous world. His tone softened: "You are the Director of the Arsenal of the Great Yu, in charge of the armory and the imperial treasury. You hold a high position and great power. This Cai is just a lowly maid, a lowly woman, and she's almost as old as your mother..."

"You've fallen for her?"

How hungry are you?

Wei Chengye's expression changed again, but this time he did not refute. Just as he was about to speak, Cai Genhua gently pulled him back. The gentle tug on his sleeve warmed Wei Chengye's heart.

Like a gentle breeze sweeping across the hills, a tender feeling welled up all over my body.

After calming his turbulent emotions, he said, "Lord Pei, since that's the case, I won't stay any longer. I will remember your kindness and will definitely pull some strings in the future to bring you food from the prison."

After saying that, she tightly grasped Cai Genhua's hand, turned around and walked out of the study. Not long after she left the study, she ran into Chen Liang, who had rushed back.

Chen Liang glanced at him and Cai Genhua with surprise.

He asked, "Lord Wei, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"Was she reprimanded by Lord Pei Jingzhi?"

Wei Chengye rarely saw anyone who could curse, and said, "It was Lord Pei Jingzhi who just gave me a thorough dressing-down."

Chen Liang quickly comforted him, "Oh, Lord Wei, don't take it to heart. Lord Pei's task has reached a critical stage, and this is precisely the time when he needs your help."

"At this critical juncture, your mother came to visit the Pei residence. It's understandable that Lord Pei was worried that it would disrupt his grand plans and was angry."

After a pause, Chen Liang quickly flattered Wei Chengye's mother, saying, "I have never met you before. Today, I can see that what Brother Wei said is true."

"Your health and complexion are better than that of a young person."

I wish you both happiness and longevity, and that you grow younger with each passing year!

Cai Genhua's face instantly turned black, while Wei Chengye's face instantly turned green.

He erupted in a tirade: "This is my fiancée!"

"This is my wife!"

"what?"

Chen Liang was instantly dumbfounded. No matter how clever he usually was, he didn't know how to smooth things over at this moment.

No way, is this your wife from the US?

If you don't say it, everyone will think it's your mother:

And wait a minute, you've never married, so how come you suddenly have a fiancée?

Grass!

This is a vegetable root flower!

How did that old woman who was Wei Chengye's maid end up together with him?

Such a short time?

Is the taste really that strong?
