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

Wei Shuo and Wang Ming went to investigate first, and after confirming that there was no danger, they came back to report: "Lord Duke, there is a woman inside, who has been dead for some time."

"It must be the Third Palace Mistress, Liu Qingyan."

Ren Tianye nodded, thinking the same thing.

After all, this person is called Liu Qingyan, not Liu Ruyan.

If it were Liu Ruyan, he would never easily believe that this person could die, but if it were Liu Qingyan…

It would be normal for him to die then.

In his heart, he also gained a clearer understanding and speculation about this Alliance of Unity.

This Alliance of Hearts should be controlled by the three palace masters.

Just like how the Flower Palace was controlled by two princesses.

Among them, the Third Palace Master is none other than the dead Liu Qingyan in front of us.

The Grand Palace Master, without a doubt, is Liu Ruyan, the Great Emperor Ruyan!

As for the second princess...

It should be Liu Shiyao Yan?

Liu Yunyan?

Liu Xiayan?

Liu Feiyan?

Liu Muyan?

It's impossible for him to be called Liu Maoyan!

Thinking this, Ren Tianye went over to take a look. The woman's body had been there for several years. It was shrunken but not decayed, with the skin and flesh clinging to the bones, and the facial features were still relatively clear.

But because of this outline, Ren Tianye could tell at a glance that this woman's appearance was just average, or even... worse than average.

"No wonder……"

"No wonder he didn't try to seduce Xiao Jingyuan himself, but instead pinned his hopes on the prostitute. Her looks just aren't up to par."

"I can only stay behind the scenes and play a staff role."

"But if a mere staff member has such abilities, then Liu Ruyan must be exceptionally beautiful and capable. Who knows what kind of trouble she might cause?"

Ren Tianye thought this almost subconsciously.

As for why I think Liu Ruyan, the Grand Palace Master of the Tongxin Alliance, is an absolute beauty.

He hadn't thought about it.

But he knew that Liu Ruyan had been bad, scummy, miserable, poor, rich, and vicious, but she had never been ugly!

An absolutely stunningly beautiful woman!

She'll still be a stunning beauty even when she's old!

"My lord, the contents of the coffin have been taken away; there's nothing left."

Wang Ming gave a report after the coffin-making session ended.

Wei Shuo was still unconvinced, so he touched the coffin as well, and sure enough, there was nothing there.

Ren Tianye was somewhat disappointed.

His ultimate goal was to become the Third Palace Master of the Tongxin Alliance, but after all that effort, he got nothing.

Not reconciled!

He immediately said, "Wang Ming, drag her out of the coffin, strip her naked, and see if there's anything hidden."

The ancients placed great importance on respecting the dead, especially scholars like Su Pengcheng and Pei Jingzhi. Yet, at this moment, both remained silent, and Pei Jingzhi even wished he could take matters into his own hands.

This woman bewitched the Empress, seduced the late Emperor, and even placed Xiao Mingzhao, an empress of unknown lineage, on the throne, causing the Great Yu dynasty to collapse.

His hatred was like a raging sea, and he almost wanted to take action himself!

Let alone stop it.

Thus, thanks to the efforts of the soldiers, Liu Qingyan was quickly searched thoroughly. Although no of her personal belongings were found, some useful items were discovered.

She wore a plain white, wide-sleeved long robe with something written on the back.

Wang Ming was afraid of disturbing Ren Tianye, so he didn't dare to deliver it directly. Instead, he handed it to Pei Jingzhi, who read it aloud word by word.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I regard emotions as the highest priority and love as the most important. I find that etiquette and morality bind emotions and create a distance between the superior and inferior. Therefore, I hereby decree the establishment of a covenant of unity."

"Xu Qiguang truly conveys love, regardless of social status!"

"Officials must not obstruct this."

"By imperial decree, love is paramount; anyone who dares to obstruct it shall be punished as a treasonous traitor..."

Pei Jingzhi's face flushed red after reading only a few words.

It immediately turned white.

Finally, his body swayed precariously.

His face was ashen.

Tracing back to the source, the roots lie in the imperial palace.

The late emperor established the dynasty, and the empress succeeded him.

Now, a hundred and eighty years have passed. Is the world of the Great Yu still a normal world?

With the Emperor's decree upon them, can the Tongxin Alliance still be considered an ordinary martial arts force? They've probably already spread throughout the entire world, becoming too powerful to control!

Pei Jingzhi actually devoted half his life to the Great Yu.

How laughable, how pathetic, how lamentable!

Su Pengcheng, Wang Ming, and Wei Shuo were all shocked.

Even Ren Tianye was dumbfounded.

This is... an imperial edict issued by that bastard Xiao Jingyuan!

A royal decree issued to the Alliance of Unity!

With this imperial edict, wouldn't the Tongxin Alliance be able to reach the highest levels of power?

After so many years of development, Ren Tianye could almost imagine how powerful the Tongxin Alliance must be.

"So this is the source!"

He sighed, then a thought struck him.

It’s over.

Given the level of corruption within the Tongxin Alliance, he would probably have to fight his way through the entire country from scratch. Otherwise, even though he seems to control the whole country now, his decrees are actually impossible to implement.

and……

With the Empress deposed, these members of the Alliance of Unity knew that their vision of establishing a world of great harmony through the Empress was now shattered, and they feared that... the world would soon descend into chaos.

"Damn it, all that effort for nothing."

Ren Tianye was somewhat annoyed.

After leaving Wang Ming to deal with Liu Qingyan and continue searching for any new developments, he returned to the Duke of Ren's mansion, pondering what to do next!

After thinking about it for several days, there was only one conclusion...

beat!

Let's conquer the world again!

Just like Cao Cao back then!

The King of Wei was able to become emperor because he conquered the entire country!

Having made this decision, the troops then needed to be prepared.

Just then, Su Jin from the Demon Suppression Division came to report: "Lord Duke, the investigation into Empress Xiao Mingzhao is almost complete. Based on the current clues and Liu's confession, it is highly likely that Xiao Mingzhao is not of royal blood."

Ren Tianye nodded: "Continue to collect evidence. Either don't announce it, or if you do, make sure it's irrefutable."

"yes!"

"By the way, how's Pei Jingzhi doing lately?"

Su Jin's eyes sharpened: "Pei Jingzhi, you performed very well. You followed the Demon Suppression Division and personally killed two demons of passion. Your hands are already bloodied, and your gaze is more ruthless than before."

"By the way, Pei Jingzhi also offered a plan to adjust the structure of the Demon Suppression Bureau and enrich its details. I think it is very well written. Please take a look, Your Highness."

Ren Tianye took it and saw that in the strategy written by Pei Jingzhi, the Demon Suppression Division retained one chief and one deputy Demon Suppression Envoy, and under the Demon Suppression Envoy, three core divisions were set up.

These are the Intelligence Investigation Division, the Intelligence Execution Division, and the Intelligence Suppression Division.

Under the Three Departments, there are four major institutions: the Department for Pursuing Love, the Prison for Suppressing Love, the Platform for Forbidding Love, and the Courtyard for Severing Love.

The organizational structure of the Demon Suppression Division was completely improved.

It also put forward the core tenets of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Personal feelings are as light as a feather, while the fate of the nation is as heavy as Mount Tai."

"Those who disrupt the world for the sake of love should be punished by everyone."

"Without eradicating the demon of love, order and discipline cannot be maintained; without clinging to infatuation, the nation and its people will remain in turmoil!"

……

Ren Tianye reviewed them one by one and was quite satisfied.

Pei Jingzhi is truly a treasure; he can be brought to any place where he's needed, and importantly, he's quite capable.

"Lord Duke, there is one more thing..." Su Jin hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and was about to speak.

Just then, a messenger's startled cry rang out from outside the door.

"Report!"

"Tongguan has fallen, and Lin Zixiao's army is less than a hundred li from the capital!"

……
