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

The shop owner was at his wit's end.

Why did they vandalize his shop again?!

What kind of bad luck has his shop had this year? It seems like it's going to get smashed at the drop of a hat.

Under pressure, he dared not delay and quickly sent someone to look for him. Before long, the doctor came over, placed his hand on Shen Moyan's wrist, and immediately understood.

"Miss Ning, this young master Shen's condition is quite serious. I need to use several of my family's traditional remedies to cure him, but..."

"These prescriptions of mine are not cheap."

Ning Wanqin immediately said, "Money is not a problem. As long as Mo Yan is alright, everything is negotiable."

"Alright!" The doctor nodded, asked the shop owner to bring out the writing materials, and immediately wrote a calming and soothing prescription, which he then handed to Ning Wanqin.

"What are you standing there for?" Ning Wanqin scolded the shop owner. "Hurry up and send someone to get the medicine! If you're late and it delays Mo Yan's treatment, I'll tear your shop down!"

Shop owner: "..."

After the shop owner hurriedly got the medicine and brewed it in the shop, Shen Moyan took it in the private room and immediately became lively again.

"The doctor is truly a miracle worker!"

"After taking this medicine, I feel much better immediately, and it won't interfere with what I need to do tomorrow at all."

Ning Wanqin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly. After paying the doctor's hefty consultation fee, she asked the shop owner to see the doctor out.

The shop owner watched with envy as the doctor arrived on a donkey and returned in a rather luxurious carriage.

"Look at them, they both serve Miss Ning Wanqin, but the difference in their treatment is so huge!"

"I'm so envious!"

Of course, there's no use in being envious; he still has to go back and take good care of her. But... to his surprise, even though Shen Moyan can jump up now, Ning Wanqin is still by his side, unwilling to leave him for even a moment.

The shop owner's heart was pounding.

If Ning Wanqin doesn't reconcile with Lu Chaosheng, his little shop might be on the verge of collapse again.

After pondering for a long time and organizing her words, she mustered her courage again and cautiously said, "Miss Wanqin, General Lu was angry. Now that everything is alright, shouldn't you go back?"

Before Ning Wanqin could speak, Shen Moyan immediately cried out, "No, Wanqin, no! If you leave, my illness will definitely worsen."

"Will you stay and keep me company?"

"I'm leaving the Jiangbei Fortress Complex in the next couple of days. We only have this little bit of time left alone together, so please don't go, okay?"

"Please don't leave!"

Shen Moyan put on a pitiful expression that made the shop owner want to vomit, but Ning Wanqin fell for it. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Moyan, I'm not leaving!"

"That's great, Wanqin, I knew you wouldn't want to part with me."

As he spoke, Shen Moyan hugged Ning Wanqin.

Ning Wanqin also hugged Shen Moyan back.

The shop owner was completely dumbfounded.

But what was worse than being bewildered was that he quickly realized that, given Ning Wanqin and Shen Moyan's current state... could Lu Chaosheng really handle it?

"Won't they come and tear down my little shop again?"

……

The shop owner's prediction was correct.

Even without seeing what happened next, Lu Chaosheng couldn't bear it. The wedding ring and the phoenix coronet he had just seen were like two needles, piercing his chest with perfect precision.

It made him have trouble breathing and his body tremble!

Back in the mansion, in the bedroom, the situation worsened; tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Lu Chaosheng never imagined that one day he would be so destitute, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked, and the mountains and rivers had collapsed.

This marriage, on which he had placed so much hope, was about to vanish in the blink of an eye, and all his thoughts and desires of the past twenty years would turn to nothing.

In an instant, my heart was emptied out by more than half.

I have no will to live!

Just then, as if by some strange twist of fate, Lu Chaosheng picked up the letter that had been lying quietly beside him, opened it, and saw Zhang Shi's notes.

"The Duke's forces are in dire need of a naval commander!"

"Come and serve the Duke, and I'll restore a clear sky free from the entanglements of love!"

In the past, Lu Chaosheng would have absolutely disregarded such a statement. He had a lover, a lover he had been in love with for over twenty years, and their affection was deep and unbreakable.

What does he want: a clear sky free from the turmoil of love?

Moreover, the land beneath his feet gave him birth and nurtured him, so he could not betray it.

But at this moment, Lu Chaosheng felt his dead heart beat again.

With a resounding clang, the sound was powerful and resonant, echoing for miles around.

However, Lu Chaosheng was not a reckless person. He always thought things through carefully before acting. Instead of rushing to Ren Tianye's side in a fit of excitement, he pondered the matter carefully.

Of course, in his current state, he was unable to concentrate at all; his thoughts were wandering, sometimes crying, sometimes collapsing, sometimes filled with hatred and passion, and sometimes filled with murderous intent.

After tossing and turning for half the night, Lu Chaosheng unknowingly fell asleep in his chair.

As dawn broke and the sun shone brightly, an urgent voice shattered the silence: "General Lu, General Lu, the Marquis requests your presence, the Marquis requests your presence..."

Lu Chaosheng woke up with a start, opening his sleepy eyes and asking in confusion, "What?"

The servant was very excited: "General Pei Wugou, Marquis of Jingyi, requests your presence!"

"Marquis Jingyi?"

Lu Chaosheng was even more confused, but realizing the importance of the matter, he quickly got up. As soon as he went out, he saw Chen Song, the deputy general beside Marquis Jingyi Pei Wugou, waiting for him at the door with a smile on his face.

"General Lu, congratulations!"

Lieutenant Chen Song smiled broadly, saying, "The Marquis said that you should have recovered well these past few days. With Ren Tianye's army pressing in, we need a general like you to garrison Zhenjiang City."

"So, I was specially sent to find you."

"Please come with me!"

Lu Chaosheng was still confused and doubtful.

He was demoted by Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou, which meant he was completely stripped of his military power. Now... they want to reinstate him?

Seemingly sensing his confusion, Deputy General Chen Song leaned closer and whispered, "General Lu, to be honest, this is the Marquis's tactic. He says he'll suppress you first and then reinstate you, so that you'll be loyal..."

"Alright, I don't really think this method is very good, but the Marquis is serious about giving you important responsibilities."

"Therefore, my opinion is that no matter what happened before, you should follow the Marquis faithfully. In the future, you will definitely enjoy wealth, promotion, and riches."

Lu Chaosheng then realized what was happening.

It turns out that all of this was Pei Wugou's doing, and now, after enduring Pei Wugou's suppression, he has persevered until the dawn of a new era.

I couldn't help but smile.

That smile was a tragic one.

"So, my career is on a roll?"

"And it's not just Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou, but also General Zhang Shi under Ren Tianye?"

"They've all given me a bright future?"

"But I wanted this bright future for Wanqin's sake. Now that Wanqin is disloyal, what's the point of me having this official career?"
