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

Lin Zixiao's words were like a thunderclap falling from a clear sky.

With a deafening explosion, everyone inside the command tent paled in shock.

Not only did they surrender to the Empress, but they also raised the white flag?

Do I still need to remove my armor?

Wouldn't that be like handing their heads to someone else's knife?

How could you?

The seven brothers, once again, all opposed it.

"General, I absolutely disagree with what you're doing. The lives of us brothers are precious, and we will not allow you to squander them like this."

"General, calm down! Putting aside whether the Empress is sincere or not, given the enormous changes in the capital recently, it's still unclear whether real power is in Ren Tianye's hands or the Empress's. Your rash departure is no different from suicide!"

"That's right, that's right. Ren Tianye is a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you do that, Commander, our 200,000-strong army will be completely wiped out."

……

The seven brothers spoke one after another, their tones sometimes impulsive, sometimes angry, sometimes resentful, sometimes calm, but their attitudes were all highly consistent.

disagree!

Not allowed!

Absolutely disagree!

Absolutely not!

But Lin Zixiao...

He roared, "Shut up, all of you!"

"It is precisely because Ren Tianye is a powerful minister that I, Lin Zixiao, must uphold the Great Yu and lend His Majesty a hand. At this time of national crisis, how can my Lin family, with its entire family of loyal martyrs, be absent?"

"I have made up my mind!"

"No one is allowed to utter any more falsehoods!"

However, Lin Zixiao, who always held a high reputation, clearly had no effect this time. Not to mention the Seven Heroes of Chifeng, everyone else in the commander's tent looked incredulous and firmly disagreed.

The seven brothers were arguing fiercely.

"I absolutely disagree. I already promised her that I would bestow upon her a high-ranking position and give her the most prestigious life. Now that you've surrendered, we might even lose our lives. What am I supposed to give her then?"

"I disagree. She must be the Duchess of the State, not someone else's victim."

"Lin Zixiao, I can take a gamble with you, but I absolutely will not allow her future to be gambled away."

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, humph... I wonder who this 'she' you're talking about is?"

"Boss, you're asking a question you already know the answer to. 'She' is who I'm referring to, it's none of your business!"

"Brothers, I advise you not to make a move on her. She's mine, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Bullshit, she's clearly mine."

"It belongs to my sixth brother."

"Damn, it belongs to my third brother!"

"Shut up, all of you! He's my boss!"

……

The noise inside the tent instantly escalated to a new level.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zixiao knew it was about that Protector Bai again. He would have tried to persuade him before, but now that it was time to enter the city and show his loyalty to His Majesty, he had no other thoughts.

But he also knew that it was no longer realistic to have 200,000 troops follow him, lay down their armor, raise white flags, and enter the capital for trial by His Majesty.

After all, although he could control the 200,000-strong army, many branches were actually controlled by his seven brothers. If his seven brothers strongly opposed it, he would not be able to command them as he saw fit.

In just three seconds, Lin Zixiao made a decisive decision.

He first led a group of his confidants, removed their armor, raised a white flag, and entered the city to show His Majesty his loyalty and patriotism. He would deal with the rest after His Majesty issued an imperial edict.

Having made this decision, he immediately left the command tent.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng did not stop him.

After all, once it involves Protector Bai Zixuan, the seven of them simply can't stop.

This actually made Lin Zixiao less nagging.

He immediately summoned a personal guard of five thousand men, had them remove their armor, prepare a white flag, and were ready to depart.

Before setting off, he suddenly thought of the firearms in his army.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Her Majesty will surely be curious after witnessing the power of my red-coated cannons. If she asks me about them when we meet, and I haven't brought them, wouldn't that be a grave offense of disrespect?"

"How could a son of the Lin family not consider all aspects?"

So, they selected ten red-coated cannons and one hundred flintlock muskets, and led a large group of men towards the capital.

Meanwhile, inside the commander's tent, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng were arguing fiercely over Protector Bai Zixuan, and their usual brotherhood had completely collapsed.

They had almost reached the point where they were about to draw their swords against each other.

"Report!"

A guard rushed in.

The eldest brother, Xiao Lie, took a look.

These weren't Lin Zixiao's personal guards, but his own, and they had been sent on a crucial mission. He quickly went to greet them, saying, "Why are you back?"

"Didn't I tell you to protect the White Protector?"

"Could it be that something has happened to Protector Bai?"

Immediately, the eldest brother, Xiao Lie, said with a ruthless expression, "If I find out that anyone dares to lay a finger on Protector Bai, I'll skin them alive!"

The other six brothers also gathered around.

Their faces were all ruthless.

"Who? Who has the audacity to touch Zixuan?"

"Damn it, I'll chop him up!"

"I'll make him wish he were dead!"

……

The guards were terrified and quickly said, "No, no, General, gentlemen, Protector Bai is fine, it's just... she's here."

"What?"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng erupted in excitement.

"Zixuan is here? Could it be that Zixuan knows how tough my life has been in the army and came to see me specially?"

"Bullshit, it was clearly Zixuan who came to see me."

"I am the one Zixuan loves. Why are you even here to see me? Do you even deserve to?"

……

Seeing that the group was arguing again, the guards had no choice but to give up.

It wasn't that he didn't want to finish speaking, but these gentlemen simply didn't give him a chance to speak. Every time he opened his mouth, as soon as he mentioned Protector Bai Zixuan, these gentlemen would interrupt him without hesitation, leaving him utterly helpless.

He had no choice but to interrupt loudly, "Protector Bai said that her child is about to be born, and in order for her child to see its father after birth, so..."

"Protector Bai came here specifically for this, gentlemen, actually..."

Before the guards could finish speaking, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng interrupted them again, and this time they were so excited they were practically ready to take flight.

The eldest brother, Xiao Lie, was the most enthusiastic. He suddenly turned around and hugged the second and third brothers, and then casually hugged the fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers as well. Of course, the seventh brother was also hugged by him.

This is used to express joy.

He then said, "My child is about to be born, and my Xiao family will have an heir. My brothers, I will be marrying Zixuan soon. Please come and attend our wedding as our friends and family."

"I will personally come out to greet you then."

"Let's drink until we drop!"

This was an extremely sincere invitation, but none of the other six brothers showed any joy on their faces; instead, they all looked gloomy.

The second brother, Cheng Shu, sneered, "Eldest brother, don't get it wrong. Zixuan's husband is me, and the child in her belly is mine too."

"This time, Zixuan is here, clearly to marry me. What business is it of yours?"
