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

Gu Qing, who heard everything clearly outside, felt weak and could no longer stand.

She just collapsed softly.

Fortunately, Su Jin caught him.

"Are you alright, Sister Gu Qing?"

Gu Qing did not answer, her eyes already brimming with tears.

So that's how it is!

Oh, I see!

Hu Shaoyou, her husband, has never died in battle. This is all Hu Shaoyou's scheme. For that wretched woman in the house, he emptied the entire Yuan City and borrowed a large sum of money from the surrounding cities. He then turned around and wanted to fake his death to escape.

Go and live the rest of your life carefree with that slut Wanqing.

However, he dumped all the enormous debt on me and even got his parents to cooperate in the charade, making me obediently go along with it.

In her despair and collapse, Gu Qing felt waves of anger and even panic rising within her.

She simply couldn't imagine what kind of dark place her life would have fallen into if she hadn't seen through Hu Shaoyou's scheme this time.

Living a life worse than death, not even human!

Most importantly... he survived half his life being deceived.

This was the ending that Hu Shaoyou could have foreseen, yet he still deliberately set up this trap.

His eyes gradually blazed with fury.

Hu Shaoyou, still inside the house, remained anxious and uneasy.

Wanqing answered for a long time, but not a single word was what he wanted; instead, it struck a nerve with him.

This made Hu Shaoyou unable to hold back any longer.

"Wanqing, I mean..."

"What if... what if I can't have children with you? Will you still love me?"

"Of course!" Wanqing smiled. "No matter what, Brother Shaoyou, I will always love you. Besides, even if it's for my sake, you won't be unable to have children."

"No..." Hu Shaoyou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, almost jumping up: "I, I, I... what if I really can't have children?"

"What if I can't have a child with you in the future?"

Wan Qing was startled. Looking at Hu Shaoyou's face again, she noticed that he looked anxious, his eyes sincere but filled with fear. Her heart skipped a beat.

Because Zhou Xiong was always busy with city defense and neglected to spend time with her, she felt that Zhou Xiong did not love her. It took her a lot of effort to leave Zhou Xiong and find the sincere feelings from her youth.

Can……

What's with this genuine feeling?

What does "really" mean?

No, what does that really mean?

Wan Qing's expression changed repeatedly, and she suddenly threw herself into Hu Shaoyou's arms: "Brother Shaoyou, please, please don't scare me."

Hu Shaoyou used to love Wanqing's appearance the most. Every time he saw her, he felt like he was being hit by something soft, and his whole body was filled with emotions mixed with love and desire. It was an excellent experience, and his blood was boiling.

This time, it is no exception.

That feeling is back again.

The difference is, before it was enjoyable, but now... it's torture!

The doctor's miraculous healing skills bandaged his wound, but now...

collapsed!

"what!"

A scream rang out. Hu Shaoyou, drenched in sweat, shoved Wan Qing away, his expression contorted, and squatted on the ground, panting heavily.

Wan Qing was incredibly knowledgeable; with just one glance, she discerned Hu Shaoyou's problem, and her expression instantly changed to...despair.

"All I want is love. Why can't my husband give me that, and why can't you, Hu Shaoyou, give me that too?"

"What did I do wrong?"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Already deeply affected, Hu Shaoyou was so devastated by Wanqing's words that he could barely stand up straight: "Wanqing, I, I..."

"Get out!"

"I f***ing..." Hu Shaoyou was in utter despair and jumped up: "I borrowed so much money for you, even swindled Gu Qing, and now you're telling me to get lost just because I had a little problem? You f***ing..."

Before Hu Shaoyou could finish cursing, a loud bang was heard.

The window suddenly shattered, along with the wooden planks below, revealing a large hole. Standing at the entrance of the hole was a woman exuding a fierce aura.

Hu Shaoyou was very familiar with that woman.

You could even say it's all too familiar.

However, in all these years with Gu Qing, he had almost never seen her like this again, which made him forget that Gu Qing was never a weak woman.

Gu Qing single-handedly took over the business left by her parents, expanded it, and even helped him become the city lord of Yuancheng.

only……

Because he was too gentle after marriage, he overlooked the fact that Gu Qing was actually quite terrifying all along.

The thought flashed through Hu Shaoyou's mind almost instantly. He was already sweating profusely and said, "Gu Qing, you, you let me explain..."

"You should explain to the Duke first!"

Gu Qing's gaze was like a knife.

He turned and knelt down, reporting, "Your Excellency, Hu Shaoyou, as the garrison commander of Yuancheng, knowingly harbored and protected Xu Shang, a wanted criminal. This constitutes harboring a criminal of the court!"

"The imperial army was ordered to investigate, yet he openly mustered his troops and arrayed them in battle formation, forcing his way into the city. How is this any different from treason?"

"He feigned death when the city fell, deceiving the world and misleading the Duke, committing a grave crime of disrespect!"

"I can testify to every single one of these heinous crimes. I beg Your Excellency, for the sake of the court and the world, to rid this scoundrel of his life!"

Before the broken hole, Ren Tianye emerged, smiling faintly and nodding slightly.

That's good, it's good that you have this determination.

This will ensure a certain level of food supply for their army in the future.

He immediately turned around and said coldly, "Someone come here!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Hu Shaoyou harbored a wanted criminal, commanded troops to defy imperial orders, occupied the city to plot rebellion, and faked his death to deceive the emperor. His crimes constitute the ten heinous crimes of treason, and he is sentenced to…"

"Execute by slow slicing, and exterminate three generations of their family!"

"Those who were coerced into joining the rebellion shall be executed on the spot, and those who were coerced into joining the rebellion shall be exiled a thousand miles away!"

"yes!"

Zhang Shixiong strode in, grabbed Hu Shaoyou like a chick, and threw him out.

Hu Shaoyou had completely broken down.

He knelt on the ground and burst into tears, pleading with Gu Qing and Ren Tianye, "Qing'er, Qing'er, please don't do this."

"I was just momentarily blinded by greed. I'll change, I really will. Please, please plead with the Duke for me. I'll change, I'll change, isn't that enough?"

Unfortunately, these words could not awaken Gu Qing's past love for him. Instead, they made Gu Qing's gaze grow colder and her heart grow even colder.

She turned her head away and ignored him, instead focusing her gaze on Wan Qing.

This vile woman is just like Hu Shaoyou, ruining half a lifetime of hard work and accumulation. I wish I could pick up a knife and chop this vile woman to pieces.

Then Su Jin handed her the Love-Slaying Blade.

Gu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to Su Jin, picked up the Heart-Slaying Blade, and strode towards Wan Qing.

His steps were firm, his gaze deep and focused.

Seeing this, Su Jin nodded secretly. If he were to wear the Demon Suppression Division's uniform, he would look exactly like a general of the Demon Suppression Division.

Unfortunately, the Duke still had other uses for him.

bass!

The blade flashed, tracing a perfect arc in the air before landing steadily on Wan Qing's neck, demonstrating Gu Qing's impressive martial arts skills!

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"You can't kill me! I... I didn't commit a crime! I didn't commit a crime!"

In an instant, all the color drained from Wanqing's delicate and beautiful face as she panicked, but she still tried her best to defend herself.

"I didn't do anything!"

"It was all Hu Shaoyou's own choice. He did these things willingly. I... I'm a victim too!"

"Besides..."

"I never really ended up with him. If you hadn't come today, wouldn't we have broken up already?"
