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

A look of astonishment appeared on Ren Tianye's face.

From Xiao Mingzhao's words, he clearly gleaned...

Xiao Mingzhao had known all along that she wasn't Xiao Jingyuan's daughter, and... Xiao Mingzhao didn't care!

This left Ren Tianye momentarily stunned.

Holy crap!

This is about the succession to the throne.

Royal matters are private; this is public business.

Xiao Jingyuan doesn't care, you don't care, so... you don't care at all?

Wow, amazing!

That's really amazing!

The Xiao family is absolutely amazing!

After a long silence, Ren Tianye grew increasingly impatient, his expression towards Xiao Mingzhao showing a hint of disdain.

It's outrageous that you, Xiao Jingyuan, and the Empress Dowager play this kind of game, treating the whole world as a part of your play, and you're so at ease with it!

Ren Tianye then reached out and grabbed Xiao Mingzhao by the collar, his gaze fierce and his eyes like lightning.

"I don't care whether you care or not, but you're not of the Xiao family bloodline, so you're not worthy of being the Empress. You should be a slave!"

"Now……"

"Get down here."

"I have something for you to do!"

Ren Tianye's change of heart shocked Xiao Mingzhao.

In her memory, Ren Tianye was somewhat indifferent to her, but he never dared to be so fierce!

This sudden change in attitude.

Like lightning, it instantly shattered Xiao Mingzhao's psychological defenses.

Moreover, it was even more ferocious than when Takuba Shota broke down her psychological defenses.

After all, no matter how Takuba Shota treated her, it was all out of love for her, and she could feel it.

But Ren Tianye's attitude...

Distancing, indifferent, ruthless, and doesn't take her seriously!

Xiao Mingzhao felt as if a lump of cotton had been stuffed into his heart, and he immediately understood.

"It must be because I wasn't good enough to Amano before. He lost patience with me and started to despise me."

"He... doesn't like me anymore."

The moment this thought arose, it surged like a raging sea, instantly overwhelming all of Xiao Mingzhao's emotions, filling him with fear. He quickly said, "Tianye, you, you, please don't treat me like this!"

"I am afraid!"

"I know..."

"You know nothing!" Ren Tianye dragged Xiao Mingzhao off the bed, pulled her to the desk, and pressed her down.

He took out a pen and ink and gave it to her: "Now, write me an imperial edict, according to my requirements..."

Ren Tianye originally wanted to speak, but what he learned in modern times was no match for the ancient people's literary skills, so he directly handed the task over to Xiao Mingzhao.

"You think of the ideas, you write them down, and you stamp them!"

"Do everything my way!"

"Just write an apology letter to Lin Zixiao, saying that he shouldn't have killed the man's father."

"Write it quickly!"

"Lin Zixiao? Tianye, you mean Lin Yi's son? You know perfectly well that I did all that for my love, and I did nothing wrong..."

Xiao Mingzhao hadn't finished speaking.

However, this time it wasn't Ren Tianye who interrupted him; it was she who suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood why Ren Tianye's attitude towards her had changed so drastically.

Because of Lin Zixiao!

Because Lin Zixiao thought of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was killed on her orders.

For love.

For the sake of her love with Shota Takuba.

"So, Amano was actually jealous of Shota, which is why he treated me this way, I..."

"This is really wrong of me!"

He then said, "Amano, I was wrong before."

"I was really wrong."

"You, you shouldn't treat me like this, okay?"

"I will change it!"

"Hurry up and write it!" Ren Tianye was exasperated. It was another person who couldn't understand human language, making it feel like he was talking to a brick wall. He was exhausted.

"I cannot write."

"I did nothing wrong!"

"Snapped!"

He slapped Xiao Mingzhao across the face.

"Hurry up and write!"

"Tianye, you, you hit me?" Xiao Mingzhao covered his face: "It seems you are truly disappointed in me. I know I hurt you too much before, and you hate me."

"But I... only realized this after being unconscious for these past few days."

"The person I care about most has always been you!"

"Holy crap, you idiot, get on with the writing already!"

Ren Tianye almost ground his back teeth to powder.

"Very well, I will write it."

Xiao Mingzhao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said, "Tianye, for your sake, I wrote this... I only beg you not to look at me like that. I... I'm afraid!"

"Write it now, immediately!" Ren Tianye's words seemed to be spat out through clenched teeth: "Hurry up and write it, write it for me!"

Sensing Ren Tianye's fury, Xiao Mingzhao felt increasingly panicked, but this time he didn't dare to say anything more.

To win back Ren Tianye's heart, even though she was not wrong in this matter, she was willing to admit her mistake for Ren Tianye's sake.

So, under Ren Tianye's guidance, he wrote the poem in one stroke.

"I have inherited the throne, but I have failed in governing the country and have wrongly killed loyal and virtuous officials."

"Lin Yi, the commander of the Northern Frontier, is devoted to defending the land. He leads 70,000 elite troops in Chifeng and has made great contributions to the country."

"Due to a momentary lapse of judgment on my part, he died unjustly."

"The fault lies with me."

"Now that Lin Zixiao has led his troops into the capital, and the city is about to fall, he is willing to withdraw his troops. I know he is loyal, and I also understand the injustice done to my father."

"This edict is hereby issued to proclaim this to the world."

"I was wrong. I exonerate Lin Yi and give his family a grand funeral to comfort his loyal soul."

"I have understood Lin Zixiao's requests, and they are all granted!"

Xiao Mingzhao stamped the seal, and Ren Tianye quickly picked it up, dried it, and immediately called his personal guards.

"Send it to Lin Zixiao immediately."

"Remember, it must be delivered to Lin Zixiao."

"yes!"

The guards obeyed and left.

Ren Tianye did not give up.

A written edict of self-reproach cannot represent one's true feelings.

We need to send more letters.

Therefore, Ren Tianye had an idea.

He turned to look at Xiao Mingzhao.

"Heavens, Amano, you, you shouldn't look at me like that, will you? I'm really scared."

"It's good to be afraid. If you don't want to be afraid, just do as I say. Come on, keep writing!"

……

The Lin Family Army's main camp.

The troops set up camp.

Although the siege went smoothly, the sudden withdrawal left countless soldiers confused and bewildered.

However, apart from the core group such as the Seven Heroes of Chifeng, the rest of the soldiers were safe and sound.

After all, they had witnessed Lin Shuai's command abilities far too many times. There had been many times before when they had no idea what was going on, yet they were still able to win.

With Lin Zixiao's prestige there to keep things under control, the Lin family army remained peaceful.

Only in the central command tent was there a chaotic commotion and incessant chatter.

But none of this shook Lin Zixiao's resolve.

He was waiting for Xiao Mingzhao's edict of self-reproach!

He believed he would eventually get to see it.

As it turns out, his guess was absolutely correct!

Not long after, a scout reported: "General, General, someone from the palace has arrived, claiming to be sent by Her Majesty the Empress, an envoy of the Empress!"

"Oh? Please come in! Please come in!"
