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

In this situation, the only one who remained sober was Lu Chaosheng.

As one of the few people who knew the inside story, he could see the predicament of Deputy General Chen Song, and he could also see the oppressive gaze of Pei Wugou.

They knew that Deputy General Chen Song was merely a messenger, and the actual message came from Pei Wugou.

Pei Wugou usually wears a mask or uses a shadow to represent him, so most people don't know that the personal guard in front of Wen He, whom he calls "A Wu," is none other than Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou.

Lu Chaosheng didn't want to put his deputy Chen Song in a difficult position.

Most importantly, Pei Wugou has already given the order, and it's difficult to reverse it.

He then shouted, "Alright, stop standing around, everyone, disperse."

Lu Chaosheng was highly respected in the army and was also the victim. After he said this, the soldiers reluctantly dispersed.

He would glance back every now and then, his eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

The truth is easily discerned from the soldiers' simple emotions.

General Lu Chaosheng was the victim; his woman was stolen from him, and they even got a marriage certificate, yet he had to remain silent and suffer this bitterness in silence.

Why? Because of the orders from Deputy General Chen Song!

Military orders are paramount and must not be disobeyed!

Therefore, Chen Song is the mastermind behind it all!

Such a general, when his own people were in the right, not only failed to protect them, but instead pushed General Lu Chaosheng into the abyss.

It's absolutely... hateful!

Kill!

These reluctant glances caused Deputy General Chen Song to break out in a cold sweat, his back and forehead drenched in sweat.

"Does this guy even have a chance of surviving in the military?"

"Damn, we've thrown it, we've thrown it!"

"With Pei Wugou's style, he'll either make me clean up his messes or make me take the blame, whether there's something wrong or not."

Even if I survive this time!

"You'll die next time too!"

"Damn it, following Pei Wugou in the army is more threatening than a battle between two armies!"

Deputy General Chen Song was already exhausted. This time, the last straw broke the camel's back, and even this hardworking camel couldn't hold on any longer. He was already thinking about running away.

Pei Wugou, however, was completely unaware of this and instead looked delighted.

Because Wen He was happy.

"Ah Wu, we've done another incredible deed today! Look, Miss Ning Wanqin has even come to thank us!"

Ning Wanqin naturally wanted to express her gratitude. She held Wen He's hand tightly, as if holding a family member's hand, and almost had tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister, thank you so much for today."

"You have such a kind heart."

Wen He smiled even more happily and said, "Baozi, it's okay. As women, we should help each other out. Besides, you've already registered your marriage, you're a legal couple, so we should support you."

"Anyway, thank you." Ning Wanqin said sincerely, "I have to see Mo Yan off today, so I have to go first. I'll come find you later, Baozi, and treat you to a meal."

"Let's have a good chat and go shopping!"

Wen He's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled and said, "Okay, baby, you go ahead and get busy."

Ning Wanqin reluctantly let go of Wen He's hand, quickly grabbed Shen Moyan's hand, and was about to leave. However, she paused before leaving and looked at Lu Chaosheng, saying, "Chaosheng, don't be angry. I'll come back to find you after I've seen Moyan off."

"Don't worry, I'll always be your woman."

Shen Moyan chimed in at the opportune moment: "Yes, General Lu, even if I borrow Wanqin, I will return her to you later."

Lu Chaosheng's face was calm, so calm that it carried a hint of coldness. He walked past the two of them as if they were air and stood in front of Pei Wugou.

He said calmly, "My lord."

"Um!"

Pei Wugou agreed.

She had long harbored resentment towards Lu Chaosheng.

He dared to yell at Wen He before, which was simply too much. If Lu Chaosheng wasn't a talented person with an irreplaceable role in the entire Jiangbei Fortress Complex, he would have at least dismissed Lu Chaosheng from his post.

But since Lu Chaosheng was still needed, Pei Wugou forced a smile and said, "General Lu, don't be sad or angry."

"That's just how things are in Yunjing."

"The pursuit of true love is above all else."

"Ning Wanqin and that Shen Moyan have already registered their marriage, and I cannot make decisions for you."

"Besides..."

"Xiaohe is right. Rather than falling out, it's better to help each other and be a good person. That's really a good thing."

Pei Wugou had already lowered herself to coax him, which was rare for her. Seeing that Lu Chaosheng's face was still as cold as iron, she continued, "Ah, General Lu, don't take it to heart."

"Even if we take a step back and say the worst, isn't she just a woman?"

"You'd better follow me closely."

"Once we defeat Ren Tianye's army, I will personally go to Yunjing to plead for your merit. After you are promoted and ennobled, with your status, how many women wouldn't you have?"

"Even finding a body double who looks exactly like Ning Wanqin is no problem."

"There's no need to be upset over such a trivial matter."

Lu Chaosheng then spoke, his tone cold and sharp: "My lord, if you were in this situation, would you be happy?"

"Would you just stand by and watch Wen He be stolen away by another man?"

As if stepped on a cat's tail, Pei Wugou instantly flew into a rage, his aura surging, his divine might awe-inspiring, and roared, "Lu Chaosheng, watch your words!"

"Xiao He, can you be like everyone else?"

"Can I be like you?"

"Using this analogy to describe Xiaohe is an insult to her. Let me tell you... this is the first and last time, otherwise..."

"I want your head!"

Pei Wugou's anger was unstoppable, and he immediately gave Lu Chaosheng another order: "Lu Chaosheng, I see that you haven't settled your family affairs, and I'm still feeling exhausted."

"Go home and rest."

"Once you've recovered, I'll summon you to the military camp to discuss important matters. Now..."

"Let's go back!"

This was another time that Lu Chaosheng had been relieved of his military power and post. Unlike the last time, when Lu Chaosheng was filled with fear and trepidation, this time Lu Chaosheng was calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied, "Yes!"

He turned and left without leaving a trace.

If this had happened before, Deputy General Chen Song would have rushed out to stop and persuade Pei Wugou to retract his order.

But now...

As he watched, Vice General Chen Song felt even more certain that his decision was absolutely correct.

"Even if Pei Wugou had extraordinary abilities, he would still be defeated. I would still have to surrender, and besides..."

"The sooner the better!"

Upon returning to the military camp, Deputy General Chen Song immediately began preparations.

At the same time, Lu Chaosheng was doing the same thing.

He took out the letter Zhang Shi had sent him again, read it carefully several times, and his mind became clearer.

"We realize that the past cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped!"

"Though I have strayed far from the right path, I now realize that what I did yesterday was wrong!"

He muttered something to himself, then suddenly stood up, looked up at the north, and spoke with unwavering determination.

"General Zhang Shi, I've come to surrender!"
