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

"Chongning Nunnery?"

Wei Shuo was taken aback: "Your Excellency, are you going to make a move against the White-Robed Prime Minister?"

Ren Tianye was also taken aback: "You know about the White-Robed Prime Minister?"

Wei Shuo said, "She used to be the Empress Dowager's advisor, giving her advice and strategies. She and Aunt Xiao were always by the Empress Dowager's side. I've heard a lot about her from Xiao Ruyi."

"So that's how it is." Ren Tianye said, "Since you recognize it, that's for the best. You shall immediately lead your troops and come with me."

"Yes!" Wei Shuo replied, and after deploying his troops and making arrangements, he returned to report: "My lord, however, I'm afraid that the white-robed prime minister is no longer alive?"

"Dead?"

"She should be dead by now," Wei Shuo said. "After all these years, we haven't seen her show her face. Besides, she's not young anymore. Even if she's not dead, she should be in her twilight years."

"But I'm more inclined to believe she's dead."

"It's not important!" Ren Tianye said, "I want to see him alive or dead!"

"yes!"

The army immediately marched in a grand procession towards Chongning Temple.

They arrived quickly and immediately surrounded Chongning Temple.

Ren Tianye rode a horse outside Chongning Temple.

Wei Shuo and Wang Ming led their men inside to search, and soon chaos erupted within Chongning Nunnery, but they did not emerge for a long time.

At this moment, Ren Tianye began to have doubts.

This is Liu Ruyan.

Based on this name alone, he should at least be on the same level as Ye Fan, Xiao Mingzhao, and the young man from the Li family, right?

Could he catch me so easily?

How could things go so smoothly?

Ren Tianye had begun to lose hope, but the result was almost exactly as he had predicted.

Wei Shuo and Wang Ming went in together.

It was also a joint effort.

Both of them looked somewhat dejected.

"Didn't find it?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Wei Shuo said, "My men have searched Chongning Nunnery thoroughly, turning it upside down at least several times, but we still haven't found the White-Robed Prime Minister."

Wang Ming continued, "The nuns inside said that the White-Robed Prime Minister fell seriously ill half a year ago and was on the verge of death. He later left Chongning Nunnery for treatment and never returned."

After a pause, Wang Ming continued, "I questioned them separately, and the conclusion was the same."

"Furthermore, they all felt that, given the White-Clad Prime Minister's appearance at the time, he was probably on the verge of death and shouldn't be alive."

Ren Tianye nodded.

However, he did not dare to take Wang Ming's words about the white-robed prime minister Liu Ruyan dying seriously.

For someone like Liu Ruyan, dying is not an easy task.

"Right now, we can only continue to look for clues," Ren Tianye said. "Investigate the people in Chongning Nunnery more thoroughly. I will go to the palace to see if His Majesty has awakened."

"Your Majesty must know about Liu Ruyan."

Ren Tianye, accompanied by his personal guards, turned and entered the palace.

……

In the distance, a group of people watched from afar, separated by a vast crowd.

The leader was a thin woman wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat. Her face was obscured by a light veil, but one could vaguely sense that her gaze was fixed intently on Ren Tianye.

He stared in the direction Ren Tianye had left.

It seemed as if a thousand deep-seated hatreds were about to erupt at any moment.

"Miss Bai, Ren Tianye must have gone to the palace. With our current strength, we can't do anything to him."

An old woman dressed as a martial arts expert behind her said, "However, Miss Bai, as long as you obtain the Third Palace Master's identity token, you will be the future Third Palace Master of our Tongxin Alliance."

"Our Tongxin Alliance is powerful and has a large army. As the Third Palace Master, Ren Tianye will not be completely untouchable."

"You will surely defeat him honorably and avenge the blood feud for your loved ones!"

The woman in white seemed not to have heard, her gaze still fixed on the direction Ren Tianye had disappeared in. After a long while, she said calmly, "Did I change my name just to defeat Ren Tianye?"

"snort!"

"Brother Ye Fan is dead, my heart is empty."

"For the rest of my life, I will make Ren Tianye pay an unimaginable price."

"I want him to regret it, go mad, live a life of widowhood, and die alone!"

These words immediately delighted the old woman: "Miss Bai, you have indeed mastered the true teachings and know how my Alliance of Hearts should act."

"If Ren Tianye is only made to pay the price with his life, it is indeed too lenient for him. He should be made to suffer the pain of not being able to have what he loves, to regret it, and to know what kind of lonely end awaits him if he does not respect love."

The woman in white nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with this statement. However, as Ren Tianye's figure completely disappeared down the street, she did not linger any longer.

He said, "Judging from this, the Third Palace Master is most likely not in Chongning Palace. Everyone, let's go outside the city together. The Third Palace Master should be there."

"yes!"

The old woman and her several female followers agreed, concealed themselves among the crowd, and headed out of the city.
