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

Su Pengcheng and Pei Jingzhi reached a high degree of consensus on this matter. After all, they were both civil officials, skilled in writing, and their analysis of these five sentences was very insightful.

In particular, after Su Pengcheng translated the ancient texts one by one for Pei Jingzhi, Pei Jingzhi also fell into deep thought and discussion.

"I shouldn't be in the car"—this sentence carries a deeper meaning. The word "car" implies confinement, confinement, and binding. The phrase "shouldn't be in the car" perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being powerless, of being unable to control one's own destiny. Every word is written in blood, every sound a tear!

"I feel that these two and a half years are more worth savoring and reflecting on. Two and a half years may seem like an ordinary period of time, but in fact, they contain profound secrets. In ancient times, one year was called a cycle, and half a year was called a waning year. Two and a half years is two springs and autumns, half a lifetime wasted!"

"Indeed, when she asked how long it was equivalent to, she wasn't asking about numbers, but rather whether two and a half years of deep affection couldn't withstand a single seductive word from a courtesan? Whether two and a half years of scheming couldn't win back the Emperor's heart? Whether two and a half years of waiting couldn't bring her justice? This isn't an arithmetic problem; it's a question that strikes at the heart!"

"Especially the last line, 'I drink alone, I am drunk.' Alone, I am lonely and helpless. I drink to drown my sorrows, but the sorrow only deepens. I get drunk, living a life of drunken stupor, unwilling to face this cold and desolate palace."

"Yes, this is the swan song of the White-Robed Prime Minister as a person who has fallen out of favor, a lament of a defeated person. She fought, she snatched, she loved, she hated, and in the end, she was left all alone!"

……

The two spoke eloquently and persuasively, leaving Wang Ming and Wei Shuo, who were standing nearby, filled with envy.

Especially Wang Ming.

After all, Wei Shuo's skill level was not high, but he was not incompetent. Wang Ming, on the other hand, was only good at recognizing some characters and had a rudimentary understanding of literature. This was sufficient for his needs in the military.

Now, when I see such a great Confucian scholar...

I immediately felt the profound difference.

That's amazing!

Sigh, I wish I could do this!

Otherwise, one should carefully analyze the deeper meaning at this time and serve the Duke.

Only Ren Tianye frowned slightly.

He listened for a while and then felt something was off.

Why did he feel like these two were doing reading comprehension?

After all, these words sounded quite familiar to him.

So, interrupting the two who were still discussing, he said directly, "You two, tell me everything the white-robed prime minister left behind."

"Yes."

Su Pengcheng agreed.

Explain each point in detail.

"Your Majesty!"

"I was careless!"

"You shouldn't be in the car!"

"Two and a half years of planning, how long does that mean?"

"I drink alone and get drunk!"

Ren Tianye: "..."

Holy crap, it really was those two doing reading comprehension.

Should we ask them what "goodnight" means?

However, he didn't have much free time, so he said, "According to my opinion, let's try them one by one."

Su Pengcheng was taken aback: "Lord Duke, you...you already knew?"

Pei Jingzhi was also taken aback.

Such complex and incomprehensible words, devoid of any parallelism, and yet the Duke understands the reason behind them? Is the Demon Suppression Division really that powerful? In just a few days since its establishment, it has already clarified the messy relationships between the late Empress, the late Emperor, and the White-Robed Prime Minister.

This immense power is truly astonishing!

Both of them were curious, so they followed Wang Ming to the knob mechanism.

Then Ren Tianye said, "Let's see if the words after 'Your Majesty' can form this sentence?"

"I cannot do it!"

Wang Ming hurried to look, and then exclaimed with delight, "Lord Duke, yes, there are these words!"

"Okay, just these few words."

As Wang Ming turned the wheel in sequence, the characters in the grooves formed the words "Your Majesty, I cannot do it!" Then, a "click" sound came from the stone chamber.

Su Pengcheng was quite familiar with this.

"You answered the first question correctly, Your Excellency. You are truly extraordinary."

Ren Tianye continued, "For the second question, I was careless; I didn't dodge!"

Upon hearing this, Su Pengcheng was stunned.

For the first question, he was able to come up with something, which was probably the painful speech of the white-robed prime minister.

But there was no flash...

What does that mean?

Looking at Pei Jingzhi, Pei Jingzhi was also completely bewildered.

What do you mean by "no flash"?

At this moment, Wang Ming turned the wheel, and words appeared. A second "click" sound rang out in the stone chamber, indicating that the second question was also answered correctly.

Two consecutive questions made Ren Tianye completely certain.

This Third Palace Master, Liu Qingyan, is a modern time traveler, and she's using classic modern quotes as the code for the Tongxin Alliance!

He said, "For the third question, I shouldn't have been in the car; I should have been under it!"

Wang Ming turned it around, and a clicking sound rang out.

The third question, unsurprisingly, was answered correctly again.

Su Pengcheng and Pei Jingzhi were stunned again.

Not riding a horse, not walking, but under a car?

Was the white-robed prime minister really in such a low position in this love triangle?

Wei Shuo's face was full of admiration.

Such a complicated and difficult-to-understand code, which would give anyone a headache just by listening to it, was solved by the Duke with ease?

Ren Tianye solves the fourth problem.

"Two and a half years equals one Kun year!"

Wang Ming turned the wheel, but this time there was no clicking sound. After waiting for a while, Wang Ming asked in confusion, "General, it seems there's a second half to this sentence!"

"There are clearly not enough words to fill this space."

Ok?

Ren Tianye was surprised. Was something wrong?

Damn, could it be that the Third Palace Master, Liu Qingyan, altered it without permission? Did she change a perfectly good classic quote into something else?

Ren Tianye quickly went there to take a look.

His gaze swept across the area and quickly spotted three separate characters, but in his eyes, they instantly coalesced into a single word.

"Little Blackie!"

Then, looking at the rest of the people, Ren Tianye understood.

Whoops!

I didn't expect that he was a hater of GieGie!

So he said to Wang Ming, "Yi Kun Nian, add the following: Little Blackie, you've shown your chicken feet, haven't you?"

Wang Ming did as instructed, and this time, there were no further incidents.

A "click" sound.

The fourth question was passed successfully.

At this moment, Su Pengcheng and Pei Jingzhi's eyes widened in disbelief.

That's a lot...

What does that mean?

How could two and a half years have already become a Kun year?

Which book mentioned that?

And... what is Xiao Heizi?

Why show the chicken feet?

Most importantly, the Duke grasped this difficult concept instantly.

The Duke has certainly not read as many books as they have, yet he is so wise. Could it be that the Duke is truly the one chosen by the emperor?

Ren Tianye ignored the two people who liked reading comprehension and went straight to the mechanism, where he personally operated it and wrote down the fifth question.

"One man drinks alone, drunk, and in his drunkenness, he finds himself with a beautiful woman as his companion!"

Click!

The fifth question was obviously answered correctly as well.

Immediately...

"Crunch, crunch..."

The mechanism trembled slightly, as if some iron chain was pulling. As Wang Ming and Wei Shuo shielded Ren Tianye behind them, the coffin was slowly pushed open an inch!

The coffin has been completely opened!
