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

The white swan's cries were heart-wrenching, so loud they could be described as earth-shattering.

But Bai Li, standing in front of him, showed no change in expression.

Only after Bai Hu finished shouting did Bai Li shake her head.

He then let out a soft sigh.

The sigh, though not loud, landed precisely in the ears of Bai Hu and Li Shuhan, who were not far away, causing both of them to tremble once again.

Bai Li said, "I am no longer in control of my own destiny."

"Ren Tianye..."

"Fine, fine, I'll bear this suffering myself."

"However, Ren Tianye said that if you were willing to tell me all the news about Yunjing, it would ease my mind a bit..."

After a pause, Bai Li sighed again, looking as if she had been forced into it, and said, "So be it, so be it. I will repay my own karma and my own grievances."

"You don't need to trouble yourselves..."

Before Bai Li could finish speaking, Bai Hu shouted, "Sister Bai Li, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything..."

But Bai Li left immediately, without lingering in front of Bai Hu at all, and went straight to Li Shuhan. At this moment, Li Shuhan grasped at a lifeline and immediately cried out frantically, "Sister Bai Li, I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."

"You could even ask me about the concubine my father kept, I'd tell you everything!"

Immediately, Li Shuhan spilled out everything she knew, including the questions Ren Tianye had given to Bai Li.

Bai Li kept it in mind and, after making sure she understood it, returned to report to Ren Tianye.

"What?"

"Is the Prince of Yunjing dead?"

"Xiao Mingzhao's biological father is gone?"

Ren Tianye was taken aback, then said, "No, he might not be Xiao Mingzhao's biological father. After all, there are too many people."

"However, when the King of Yunjing died, Yunjing did not report it to the court, but instead allowed his son to inherit the position and become the new King of Yunjing..."

"This is……"

Ren Tianye understood instantly.

Yun Jing and the Tongxin Alliance are deeply intertwined, so Yun Jing must have a considerable understanding of what's happening in Kyoto. He should have known long ago that Kyoto is now under Ren Tianye's control.

Based on the inherent incompatibility between Yun Jing and him.

Yunjing has abandoned even the pretense of nominal submission to the imperial court and has chosen to become an independent kingdom!

but……

Ren Tianye's eyes flickered.

This is a good opportunity for him!

With the death of the King of Yunjing and the ascension of his son, the internal situation is bound to be chaotic, presenting a golden opportunity to win him over.

Such an opportunity will not be given a second time.

So, almost instantly, Ren Tianye made his decision.

Send troops!

Subdue Yunjing!

After Ren Tianye finalized the plan, he began to strategize.

The decision was quickly made, and soon, all the generals were summoned.

The first person they would meet was Wei Shuo.

"I intend to personally lead a large army to Yunjing City. You will need to take good care of things in the capital."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shuo was immediately disappointed.

You see, although he was not young, his ambition was still burning. He had known that the world seemed peaceful but was actually chaotic and that there would be an opportunity to quell the rebellion, so he had been waiting for it.

Unexpectedly, despite the great achievement of recapturing Yunjing, the Duke did not give him the opportunity to launch a southern expedition.

But Wei Shuo also knew that Ren Tianye had good intentions.

The matter in Kyoto needs to be handled by someone familiar with the various situations in the capital, and Wei Shuo is undoubtedly the best choice.

He could only obey, saying, "Yes, Your Excellency."

"This humble general will certainly guard the capital well for the Duke."

Ren Tianye nodded and said, "The Imperial Guards have been basically subdued, but the newly surrendered Lin family army is still somewhat chaotic. This time, our guild took 60,000 Lin family soldiers with us, and there are still quite a few left. You'll have to use some methods to deal with them."

Wei Shuo sensed the hidden meaning in Ren Tianye's words and quickly said, "Please enlighten me, Your Excellency."

"The Seven Heroes of Chifeng have been killing each other, and now only Zhao Cheng remains intact. As long as you can control and make good use of Zhao Cheng, there will be no problem with the Lin Family Army. After that, you can slowly assimilate them and make the Lin Family Army completely ours."

Having been tormented by Princess Xiao Ruyi for so many years, and having seen countless bewitching bewitching creatures in the capital, Wei Shuo knew all too well the ins and outs of the matter.

He immediately understood what Ren Tianye had said.

He said, "My lord, I think we should firmly bind Zhao Cheng and Bai Zixuan together, but we can't allow Zhao Cheng to see her all the time. We need to keep Zhao Cheng on the hook. If the Lin family army needs Zhao Cheng to handle something, and he obediently steps in to resolve it, then we'll give him another chance to see Bai Zixuan..."

Wei Shuo explained the plan one by one.

Ren Tianye nodded.

Look, this is what it means to have experience, and extremely profound experience, to know how to achieve the best results. If it were someone else, they might not be able to do it well.

"Just do it your way."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I understand." With that, Wei Shuo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your Excellency, I feel immense pressure as you go on your southern expedition. Without you as my pillar of support, I am very apprehensive."

"Don't panic," Ren Tianye said with a smile. "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so I specially found someone to help you."

"From now on, just obey his orders more often."

"Of course, he's not familiar with things in Kyoto, so he'll need your assistance."

Wei Shuo was somewhat surprised, but then he understood what Ren Tianye meant.

Ren Tianye was uneasy about entrusting Kyoto, such a major base, to Wei Shuo.

Although he knew he was loyal, this wasn't a matter of loyalty or disloyalty. Therefore, the Duke would definitely have someone check and balance him. And judging from the Duke's intentions, Wei Shuo would be his assistant, while that person would be the master...

A person immediately popped into Wei Shuo's mind.

"I have already sent a messenger with urgent news. Soon, Sun Xiang will be coming from the northern frontier, and..." Ren Tianye smiled and said, "The general you are most interested in will also be arriving."

Wei Shuo asked with delight, "Your Excellency, will General Zhang Shi also be coming?"

"Yes." Ren Tianye sighed with emotion. This Zhang Shi, who was so determined, actually led five thousand men and broke through the grasslands without any supplies.

With his efforts, the grasslands will not recover for at least twenty years. Zhang Shi can be considered to have made a significant contribution to the expansion of territory.

This is something that Wei Shuo had never been able to do before.

Ren Tianye was still feeling quite emotional about Zhang Shi's situation when, not long after, Zhang Shi led his men to the capital. However, the moment Ren Tianye saw him, he was stunned.

If you're not a brother, then who are you?

How did you get so sloppy?

His face now has several scars, making him look incredibly grotesque!

"General..."

"Thump!" Zhang Shi immediately knelt down on the ground: "Your humble servant has not failed you, I have wiped out those barbarians, your humble servant... has done it!"

Zhang Shi shouted the words "I did it!" with such heart-wrenching force, as if these three words carried too much of his grievances and resentment.
