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

To be more precise, Su Hong had not only heard of the Tongxin Alliance, but had also worked with them.

—We had business dealings in the past.

After all, the Tongxin Alliance is considered a top-tier martial arts sect with numerous commercial activities in the Northern Frontier. Their Su Mansion in the Northern Frontier is a leader in the commercial district, so it's inevitable that they would have dealings with them.

Therefore, I have also heard some things about the Tongxin Alliance.

However, not many people know about it.

All that is known is that the main characters of the Tongxin Alliance are a few lovesick men and women.

He didn't think much of it at the time.

How can someone who only cares about love and romance achieve great things?

But he never expected that one day, the Tongxin Alliance would actually scheme against his Su family.

He used his third niece, Su Li, as a weapon against the Duke!

"Damn it!"

Su Hong uttered those two words coldly through clenched teeth.

The butler was startled: "Master, the Alliance of Unity is quite good. Are you saying this because you don't understand it? Would you like me to tell you more about the Alliance of Unity...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Hong's cold gaze swept over him.

He interrupted the butler abruptly.

He immediately summoned another person on duty and said, "From this day forward, you will be the steward of my Su family's old residence, and he..."

He looked at the old butler and said, "Let him collect this month's salary and leave immediately."

"besides……"

Su Hong stood up and said, "Investigate thoroughly. In my Su family, whether it's the Yunji City Lord's family or other clansmen, anyone who has anything to do with the Tongxin Alliance must report to me."

Su Hong didn't have much time to stay in his hometown.

He already had a lot to do, and now he had one more thing to do: find the Tongxin Alliance, report and collect information, and send it to the capital.

We must return to Yunji City immediately and discuss this matter thoroughly with General Sun Xiang, the garrison commander of Yunji City.

……

The Duke of Ren's Mansion.

"The Alliance of Unity?"

Ren Tianye was slightly taken aback when he heard Su Jin say those three words.

"Yes, from Wei Chengye's words, I can confirm that it is the Tongxin Alliance. This is an extremely powerful Jianghu sect with influence throughout the entire Da Yu. Even in our Northern Frontier, there are traces of them."

Su Jin said, "I don't know who founded this martial arts sect, but judging from the current situation, it is definitely extraordinary and will surely be a formidable enemy."

"From Wei Chengye's words, I learned more clearly how the Empress, who was once a prostitute whom everyone avoided, was transformed into the Empress of a country under the guidance of the Tongxin Alliance."

Su Jin was quite emotional when she said this.

A prostitute like the Empress is utterly insignificant.

At least in the eyes of the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan, they were no different from ants.

But it was the methods of the Alliance of Hearts that allowed the prostitute, a crow, to climb the tree and transform into a phoenix.

And those methods...

She was extremely shocked when she heard it from Wei Chengye.

She carefully organized it, clearly dividing it into several steps.

The first step is to have someone who resembles Su Pengcheng's daughter, who is Xiao Jingyuan's white moonlight, after using a prostitute, and then deepen that resemblance.

The courtesan was made to imitate Xiao Jingyuan's white moonlight in every way, from her eyebrows and eyes, gait, voice, and small gestures.

But it only resembles three-tenths of the original.

The remaining seven parts are so pitiful that I feel sorry for them.

The second step is to win people's hearts.

After becoming acquainted with the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan, Empress Xiao Jingyuan remained calm and composed upon learning of his imperial identity. She made no demands of him, did not vie for titles, and did not interfere in court affairs.

She appears at just the right time when Xiao Jingyuan is tired, lonely, or nostalgic.

The third step is to empathize with Xiao Jingyuan.

She always understood Xiao Jingyuan's difficulties, always went along with his wishes, and never disobeyed him, making Xiao Jingyuan feel that the Empress was the only person who understood him and did not covet his power.

The fourth step is to control the distance.

By playing hard to get and maintaining a distance, she lured Xiao Jingyuan to take the initiative to get closer.

By the fifth step, the courtesan had deeply penetrated Xiao Jingyuan's heart. At this point, the courtesan occupied all of Xiao Jingyuan's thoughts, and her control became even more arbitrary.

Whether we meet or not.

They might be all smiles or furious curses.

They might offer a little something sweet or give you a slap.

After all that, Xiao Jingyuan, who wasn't exactly normal to begin with, was completely turned into a lustful monster who would give up the world for the sake of a courtesan.

After hearing what Wei Chengye said, Su Jin was already extremely shocked. On her way back to report to Ren Tianye, she trembled more and more as she thought about it.

These things, taken individually, are not complicated.

But upon closer examination, one can see that it pierces the heart!

In particular, she had previously grasped most of the basics without a teacher thanks to her extraordinary talent, so she could understand how terrifying it was.

And now, someone is actually able to systematically and logically explain it all and teach it to others; just thinking about it makes me terrified.

After Su Jin reported all of this to Ren Tianye, Ren Tianye was completely bewildered.

Isn't this... a dating guru?!

Holy crap!

Could this be some kind of fairy who has traveled through time?

"The source of all this trouble is that little fairy who time-traveled even before me?"

Ren Tianye asked eagerly, "Su Jin, did you learn from Wei Chengye who founded the Tongxin Alliance?"

Wei Chengye wasn't entirely sure either, only remembering that the surname seemed to be Liu, and the given name seemed to contain the character for "smoke"!

Ren Tianye's body trembled!

柳？

cigarette?

What the hell!

Liu Ruyan!

"It's actually Emperor Ruyan!"

"What a mistake! What a mistake! Only Emperor Ruyan could have pulled off something like this!"

Su Jin asked in surprise, "Does the Duke know this person?"

"I don't know, but..." Ren Tianye said earnestly, "It's a household name!"

He paused, then added, "Just like the name Ye Fan, it's legendary!"

These words left Su Jin even more confused.

However, she knew when to stop and not to ask any more questions. She felt a little more at ease because she clearly remembered that Ye Fan was personally hunted down by the Duke and completely annihilated!

If Ye Fan can die, then Liu Ruyan cannot live.

Moreover...

Liu Ruyan's current situation may not be good.

He said, "My lord, this Liu Ruyan has always existed as a strategist for the Empress Dowager. She has been in the capital for a long time and was arranged by the Empress Dowager to stay at the Chongning Nunnery. Because she has always liked to wear white, many people in the know call her..."

"The Prime Minister in White!"

A prime minister in white robes?

This title made Ren Tianye even more alarmed!

It should be noted that in the history Ren Tianye knew, there was a corresponding title for that person, who assisted the Yongle Emperor in seizing the Ming Dynasty's territory with only 800 men.

Throughout five thousand years of history, instances of brothers killing each other have occurred frequently. Yet, in just eight hundred people, there is only one isolated case where someone managed to rightfully ascend the throne by cutting themselves down at Xiangji Temple!

This prime minister in white...

Ren Tianye is someone we cannot afford to ignore!

He suddenly stood up and said, "You mean, this Liu Ruyan is at Chongning Nunnery?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"Someone, summon Wei Shuo!"

A moment later, Wei Shuo arrived.

"This humble general pays his respects to Your Excellency, the Duke."

"Wei Shuo..." Ren Tianye directly ordered, "I order you to lead your troops, personally guide me, and surround Chongning Temple!"
