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

The white swan could barely accept the situation if these people didn't listen to its advice.

Hearing these people's words of comfort, Baihu's mental state collapsed even more.

As Bai Li gradually disappeared before his eyes, he could no longer hold back and quickly rode back to the military camp. On the way back, seeing the endless military camps, he couldn't help but start praying.

He hoped that something unexpected would happen when Bai Li went to marry Ren Tianye, preferably causing Bai Li to return in anger, or at least making Bai Li unhappy, so that he could lead his 200,000 troops to storm in.

Bai Li was rescued.

To be a loving couple with Bai Li for all eternity.

However, the white swan's dream was good, but reality was cruel.

After Bai Li arrived in the capital, everything went smoothly for her.

On the day of Ren Tianye's wedding, no one dared to cause trouble. Even Empress Xiao Mingzhao was kept in the dark and stayed in Sijun Palace for a long time, allowing Bai Li and Ren Tianye's wedding to proceed very smoothly.

Because Bai Li did not require to marry Ren Tianye as his principal wife, the various formalities were much simpler. Although Ren Tianye would not actually use a sedan chair to bring her back to the Duke of Ren's mansion through the side gate, it was not considered extravagant.

Only a few military personnel were invited, and they cheered together.

They then took Bai Li to the Duke of Ren's residence.

Without any proper witnesses, Bai Li and Ren Tianye went through the wedding ceremony and Bai Li was then sent to the bridal chamber.

Ren Tianye naturally had to entertain the guests.

Bai Li waited alone in the empty room.

But it can't be said that it was really just one person.

There were still maids and servants.

After all, someone needs to take care of her daily life, and at the same time, someone needs to monitor her to see what Bai Li is really up to.

"You may leave now!"

Bai Li, still covered by a large red veil, suddenly spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, but she had trained in the Tongxin Alliance before. She was first the personal disciple of the Grand Palace Master Liu Ruyan, and later became the Third Palace Master. Her aura was completely different from that of the naive girl in the Su Mansion in the Northern Frontier. She carried a hint of majesty.

And seven points are beyond doubt.

This surprised all the maids and old women.

Several of them were required to provide close care, ensuring that no situation was overlooked.

"You can all leave now. I'll manage here!"

A voice rang out from the side.

He subconsciously carried a hint of grimness, and a touch of calm.

All the maids recognized her; she was a favorite of the Duke, and had once served as the Deputy Demon Suppressor of the Demon Suppressor's Division. Although she later stepped down from the position for some unknown reason, the Duke had always treated her very well.

Besides, the maids knew that too.

This man's second uncle is the Duke's assistant.

He made great contributions to the Duke.

With such a person speaking, the maids felt reassured.

They all withdrew.

The joyous wedding room was now empty except for the two of them.

Su Li sat on the bed, her head covered with a red veil.

Standing before her was Su Jin, her expression inscrutable.

"Big sister..." Bai Li's voice rang out softly, just like the babbling she used to nag Su Jin when she was a child: "Long time no see."

Su Jin's expression was complex, her demeanor shifting several times. Then, she knelt down on one knee: "Madam, I am but a minor official under the Duke. I am unworthy of such a title. Please, Madam..."

"Don't be so rude to a lowly person!"

These words were spoken softly, but to Bai Li, they sounded like a thunderclap.

Her body trembled, and her hands gripped the sheets tightly as if she wanted to tear them apart. She managed to hold back her tears and said, "Big sister, you...you don't recognize me anymore?"

Su Jin calmed down much faster and said, "I no longer have any younger sisters. My second sister has disappeared without a trace, and my third sister committed suicide and has already been taken to the mortuary."

"My second uncle once told me that no matter how big a mistake my second and third sisters made in life, once they are dead, their debts are wiped clean. Our Su family cannot mistreat our two sisters and must give them a proper burial."

"Especially my third sister, she was willing to die for the sake of hundreds of people in my Su family in the Northern Frontier. Our Su family in the Northern Frontier will never forget my third sister."

After a pause, Su Jin's expression remained completely calm: "Madam, you are the Third Palace Master of the Tongxin Alliance, and also the Duke's newlywed wife. Please stop making jokes about such a lowly person."

"From now on, I will serve you with utmost respect."

After saying this, Su Jin didn't linger any longer and turned to leave the bridal chamber.

Although she knew that these words might not have much effect, the necessary severance still had to be made cleanly, not for herself, but for her second uncle who was getting older from overwork, and for the Su family in the Northern Frontier.

Bai Li, who was inside the room, burst into tears instantly.

She changed her name voluntarily, and she also voluntarily severed ties with the Su family in Northern Xinjiang. But now, seeing her eldest sister say these words herself, she felt her heart clench and could hardly breathe.

Tears soaked her clothes; Bai Li was overwhelmed with emotion.

But gradually, she managed to hold on.

After a long and arduous journey, we have finally arrived at this day.

Now the truth has come to light. For the sake of her unjustly deceased brother Ye Fan, and for the sake of her love that ended before it even began, she must persevere.

……

The Lin family army camp.

Left Protector Bai Zixuan personally came to visit Bai Hu, who had fainted from crying three times today. Seeing that he was still depressed, she couldn't help but comfort him.

After being decisively interrupted by Bai Hu, Bai Zixuan said, "Since you don't need comforting, Right Protector, I won't say anything more, but..."

"Before leaving, the Third Palace Master told me in detail about her plan to deal with Ren Tianye's brilliant schemes. I wonder, you..."

"Do you want to hear it?"

The white swan's eyes lit up instantly, and it quickly replied, "Yes!"

Bai Zixuan was satisfied and stood up slowly, saying, "The Third Palace Master has now received the true teachings of the First Palace Master and his methods are superb. The first thing to do to Ren Tianye is to give him a strong feeling."

"Feel?"

"Yes, a kind of..."

Bai Zixuan stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes gleaming, and said, "It's a feeling that makes Ren Tianye think 'she's different from others!'"

……

As night deepened, the red lanterns hanging high shone even brighter.

The soldiers were all drunk.

Ren Tianye no longer needed to stay with his brothers.

She should go back and take care of this bride who came to her door.

To be honest, even though he knew there must be something fishy going on, Ren Tianye was still a little impatient.

As his status rose higher and higher, he wouldn't remain celibate; naturally, he had concubines and maids. But someone like this, who was nominally his wife, was the first of his kind.

We should go earlier.

They rushed to the bridal chamber and pushed open the door.

Red candles burned brightly, filling the room with warmth. Su Li sat gracefully beside the crimson brocade bed, her beauty exquisite and alluring in the dim light.

Bai Li seemed to have heard Ren Tianye's commotion. Before Ren Tianye could get close, she took off her red veil, revealing a slightly round face with fair skin and gentle eyes that conveyed an indescribable feeling.

She glanced at Ren Tianye.

He suddenly smiled.

A smile is like spring warmth and blooming flowers, bringing everything back to life.

Immediately, she took off her bright red dowry and walked up to Ren Tianye, looking up and saying, "Lord Duke..."

"Don't treat me like a human being tonight!"
