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

Boom!

It was as if a thunderclap exploded overhead.

In an instant, Wu Xingzhou felt as if he were in a dream.

However, it wasn't a pipe dream, but a nightmare from which I couldn't wake up!

He couldn't believe it, but he had no choice but to believe it.

The Qin Shuyao standing before him spoke with such firm certainty, her eyes showing not a trace of doubt. Based on his comprehensive and multi-faceted understanding of Qin Shuyao over the past year, what she said was true.

"So, I'm just Qin Shuyao's practice tool?"

"I know..." Qin Shuyao's voice rang out. This time, her tone was much gentler, and her attitude was even more tender: "I know that you will be very sad and heartbroken after leaving me."

"After all, you can't bear to part with me!"

"but……"

"There's no other way, A-Ping is back."

"I swore a solemn oath!"

"For my sake, I believe you can understand, right?"

Still gripped by immense shock, Wu Xingzhou paused, unsure of what to say.

This appearance, however, seemed to mislead Qin Shuyao.

Qin Shuyao was clearly a little emotional and unconsciously began to talk non-stop.

"Xingzhou, speaking of which, I have to thank you."

"In the year since we got married, I've used you as a practice subject, which has helped me become a better version of myself."

"Only then did I gain confidence and be recognized by Aping."

"You did a great job on your task."

"I believe you'll be happy for me, right?"

"After all, it is with your help that I am the radiant person I am today!"

Wu Xingzhou finally realized what was happening.

He snapped, "Shut up, Qin Shuyao! I never imagined that your marriage to me was for this purpose. I was blind to have married a woman like you!"

Wu Xingzhou was filled with anger.

He felt that this relationship, which he had once cherished, was now like being fed to a dog.

But in fact, Wu Xingzhou had always known about the A Ping that Qin Shuyao mentioned. He was Qin Shuyao's white moonlight, with an extraordinary family background and handsome appearance. Even in Yunjing, he could be considered a powerful and influential person.

Qin Shuyao's family background was much weaker.

Therefore, Qin Shuyao's unrequited love for Jiang Ping, her "white moonlight," has always been unrequited.

Wu Xingzhou had never paid attention to it before.

After all, he had been with other women before Qin Shuyao. He could accept that Qin Shuyao, from a prestigious family, had some affairs before marriage.

Can……

He had no idea that such a situation even existed!

If he had known it would be like this, he would never have married Qin Shuyao in the first place.

Qin Shuyao was somewhat taken aback at this moment.

Wu Xingzhou actually yelled at her?

It should be noted that Wu Xingzhou was always gentle and soft-spoken towards her, and he would never even raise his voice to her except when facing major events.

Should I yell at her now?

"Is it because he knows he has to break up with me that he panicked?"

Thinking of this, Qin Shuyao couldn't help but sigh.

She knew all along that Wu Xingzhou loved her deeply, and she had always worried that after she proposed a divorce, Wu Xingzhou would pester her.

Now, it seems that this is about to come true.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wu Xingzhou kicked the box containing a thousand taels of gold in front of her, and then coldly said, "A thousand taels of gold, I don't want it..."

"Xingzhou..." Qin Shuyao comforted him with some pain, "Things have come to this, why do you have to act like this? Let me and Aping be together, let me be happy, aren't you happy?"

"you……"

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Xingzhou impatiently interrupted her.

He continued coldly, "I don't want a thousand taels of gold, that's because I don't care for it, but... the position of garrison commander of Pinglingji is mine, and you can't take it away!"

Wu Xingzhou obtained his position as the garrison commander of Pinglingji through Qin Shuyao's connections. He had already devoted countless efforts to it, and he was confident that he could defend Pinglingji.

At present, he has made Pinglingji an impregnable fortress.

This can be considered his obsession.

Therefore, he can agree to a divorce, and he can give up the thousand taels of gold, but he must keep Pinglingji in his hands!

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuyao resolutely refused, saying, "Aping will stay with me in Pinglingji from now on, so I must hand over Pinglingji to him."

"Xingzhou, choose something else besides this one."

"I can give you anything."

Wu Xingzhou coldly replied, "I only want Pinglingji!"

Qin Shuyao's temper flared up instantly, her young lady persona resurfacing, and she said coldly and resolutely, "Wu Xingzhou, don't go too far!"

"The garrison commander of Pinglingji is Aping's."

"Don't force me to kick you out!"

After Qin Shuyao finished her reprimand, she turned and left.

As she left, she deliberately slammed the door shut to vent her dissatisfaction, then rode away on horseback. That same night, Wu Xingzhou received a message from his personal guard.

A superior's order arrived at the military camp.

The instructions were clearly written on the warrant.

He was dismissed from his post as the garrison commander of Pinglingji!

Holding the order, Wu Xingzhou was overcome with grief!

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Pinglingji was the culmination of his life's work!

He had foreseen that the imperial court might send a large army to Yunjing when things were in turmoil in Kyoto, so he began to make preparations at that time.

He has invested all of Pinglingji's limited resources into its defense, and now he can confidently guarantee that Pinglingji is now impregnable!

He can definitely protect the people of this area!

But now...

All the hard work has turned into a dream.

This left Wu Xingzhou extremely resentful.

But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?

Can we take it back?

What's the difference between that and treason?

Will Yunjing still tolerate him?

Wu Xingzhou stepped out of the house. The cold wind made his mind clearer than before. He looked to the north and suddenly felt that he seemed to have only one path to choose from.

"Lord Duke, I've come to pledge my allegiance to you."

"I hope you'll accept this petty person!"

……

Wang Ming was stunned as he listened to Wu Xingzhou recount this past event.

Within a year, he practiced on Wu Xingzhou 999 times.

Even with his extensive experience and knowledge, Wang Ming was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

This... he's never seen anything like it before!

However, from this perspective, Wu Xingzhou didn't lose out.

only……

Wang Ming had a question in his mind.

He asked directly, "Wu Xingzhou, according to you, Qin Shuyao didn't have you in her heart at all, and being with you was just a compromise, a way to practice on you, so what do you...?"

"How did you appease her?"

Just now, Jun Cheng told Wang Ming that Wu Xingzhou always prioritizes important matters, which made Qin Shuyao very unhappy, and she even proposed a divorce.

In this situation, Wu Xingzhou was still able to appease Qin Shuyao, which shows that Wu Xingzhou has some tricks up his sleeve.

But what exactly are the methods used?

Wang Ming was very curious.

Wu Xingzhou was quite frank and did not hide anything.

He said, "The reason I was able to appease her is..."

"I'm good at it!"
