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

Xu Shang was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.

When he left this afternoon, it wasn't to appease Ayao, but because he knew that if the soldiers stayed at the training ground for too long without being properly managed, chaos would inevitably ensue.

That's why I had no choice but to leave.

When I returned, I was worried that Ayao's temper hadn't subsided. Now, seeing her like this, I knew perfectly well that she was still angry.

But the problem is...

Ren Tianye's men caught up with them in no time.

If we don't run now, we'll really become victims of Ren Tianye's blade.

"Ah Yao, stop fooling around, okay?"

"That scoundrel Ren Tianye's army has really entered the city. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

As he said this, Xu Shang personally took charge.

Even if it means using force, we must take Ayao away.

However, A Yao, who was usually weak and unable to take care of herself, and who even fainted when she learned that he was going to get engaged to Yun Wanyi, suddenly burst out with tremendous strength.

As soon as he started, Ayao began to jump around energetically.

It jumped even more violently than the old sows that the butcher had held down during the Lunar New Year.

She broke free on the spot, her face full of anger.

"Didn't you go to find Yun Wanyi? Go find her then, why did you come back?"

"You even tried to fool me with the story of Ren Tianye's army entering the city, Xu Shang, do you have any conscience?"

"When you used to watch the moon with me, I was your sweetheart."

"Now that you've remembered Yun Wanyi, you're treating me like a worn-out old hag?!"

Xu Shang was nearly frantic with worry.

"Ah Yao, believe me! Ren Tianye's army has really entered the city. We're in a very dangerous situation. We have to leave immediately!"

She shouted these words with all her might, and at the same time, a commotion and even a commotion gradually came from outside the door. Ah Yao's house was located in the heart of Huai'an City, so she could hear it clearly.

Looking up slightly, I saw flames shooting into the sky.

I was taken aback for a moment.

"real?"

"Of course it's true, Yao. Don't delay, let's go."

"I'm not leaving!" Ayao, who had been calm for less than a second, almost jumped up again: "Even if Ren Tianye's army really enters the city, the first person you think of is Yun Wanyi, not me. In your heart, am I always just someone dispensable?"

"My life is so miserable. Why did I follow you so devotedly in the first place? You heartless man, I'd rather be dead than live like this..."

Ayao let out a miserable scream, turned around and took out the white silk that she had prepared beforehand.

Xu Shang was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.

"Ah Yao, I'm begging you, please let's go quickly, okay? I really didn't go to see Yun Wanyi, I really didn't, I swear to God."

"Really not?"

"Really, no!"

"Then swear it!"

"I swear!"

"Just those three words, 'I swear'? You're so perfunctory even when you swear! You must have gone to find Yun Wanyi!"

Xu Shang: "..."

Just as he collapsed, a loud crash was heard, and as the door was kicked open, a group of heavily armed soldiers poured in, most of them carrying torches.

In the firelight, everyone's face was solemn, their blades stained with blood; they were clearly sharp and powerful individuals.

Ayao was stunned for a moment after seeing it, then her eyes flashed with anger.

"Xu Shang, in order to cover up the fact that you went to see Yun Wanyi, you actually hired so many people to put on an act?"

"You went to such lengths to deceive me?"

"Do you think I'm only good for being deceived?"

"You really don't love me."

"The so-called love for me forever, love for only me, is just talk. In your heart, there will always be Yun Wanyi, only Yun Wanyi."

"What am I still living for?"

At that moment, Xu Shangzhen felt like he was about to explode.

He had done a lot of things to make Ayao happy before, such as setting off fireworks by the river for a whole day and night.

For example, having soldiers practice formations is actually like arranging them into a heart shape.

Of course, the most important thing recently is that, in order to appease A Yao's emotions, he chose to have his twin brother get married in his place.

All of this was observed by A Yao. Xu Shang had become an omnipotent being, so... now A Yao felt that it was just another act by him.

Heaven and earth conscience!

What the hell is this show?!

This is absolutely terrible!

"A-Yao..."

Xu Shang gritted his teeth and suddenly struck out, his hand swift and clean, striking A Yao's neck diagonally. A Yao let out a soft moan and collapsed into his arms.

Xu Shang felt that his ears were instantly quiet.

Immediately, he picked up Ayao and ran towards the back door.

He once gave A Yao a gift: a peerless horse, a snow unicorn, pure white as jade, with a mane shimmering with silver light. It could travel a thousand miles a day, leaving no trace of the wind and dust, comparable to the Red Hare described in ancient books.

With that horse, Xu Shang would have a chance to escape with A Yao.

He hurried to the backyard, found the horse, helped Ayao onto it first, then climbed on top of her. With a tug on the reins, the snow unicorn roared and charged forward with its hooves flying.

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"

Many soldiers gave way, and even Zhang Shi had to avoid its sharp edge. When he looked up again, he saw that when the snow unicorn rushed to the courtyard wall, Xu Shang suddenly lifted it up, and the horse galloped like a swallow, "whoosh", and leaped directly out.

"Holy crap, what a horse!"

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up.

As a soldier who had earned numerous military merits on the grasslands, Zhang Shi was most unable to resist the temptation of such a peerless horse, which could be compared with the Duke's Jade Lion.

The Duke's Jade Lion that Shines at Night was captured from the grasslands when he was in the army. He had always admired it, and now... he could get one too.

Thinking about all this, Zhang Shi was extremely excited.

It was impossible for Xu Shang to escape in the first place, and now it's even less likely that he will escape.

"Pass down the order: stop Xu Shang!"

He gave orders without stopping for a moment, immediately circled around the courtyard, and saw Xu Shang fleeing rapidly ahead.

Taking advantage of the chaotic alleyway and the lack of distance between them, Xu Shang immediately nocked an arrow and shot it out with a "whoosh," clearly seeing the arrow hit its mark.

He was even happier.

Before the horse was driven forward.

However, Xu Shang was clearly desperate to escape, urging his horse to charge forward at an even faster speed.

"Faster, faster, faster!"

"Snow Kirin, faster, faster!"

After a period of anxiety, Xu Shang realized that he had gradually moved away from the encirclement, and the number of soldiers chasing him around him was decreasing until there were no soldiers left.

Xu Shang finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Good horse, I'll give you extra hay tonight!"

He paused, then comforted Ayao, saying, "Ayao, hold me tight. We'll be completely safe in a little while."

"Ah Yao, stop pretending to be asleep. This bumpy ride must have woken you up. Hold me tight, let's go faster!"

"Ah Yao, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Ayao, Ayao, don't be angry anymore, okay? I swear, I really didn't go to see Yun Wanyi. You're the only one in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have let my good-for-nothing brother take my place at the wedding, right?"

"Ah Yao, Ah Yao, Ah Yao..."

Xu Shang's voice grew louder and louder, but A Yao didn't respond at all. He had no choice but to reach out and touch her, only to find his hand covered in sticky mucus.

By the faint starlight and moonlight, I took a look and realized that my hand was covered in bright red blood.

My heart skipped a beat.

Xu Shang disregarded everything else and quickly reined in the snow unicorn. Only then did he see that A Yao's face was deathly pale, and an arrow had somehow pierced her chest.

The arrow had already pierced his heart and lungs, and was already fatal. He had just been running wildly, and the jolting had left A Yao with no chance of survival.

Xu Shang felt as if his head had been plunged into the deep sea, so suffocating that he could hardly breathe. In disbelief, he reached out to check A Yao's breath, but after a long while, there was not even the slightest trace of her breath.

With a thud, Xu Shang knelt down on the ground.

He shouted to the sky.

"No!"
