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

Pei Wugou was truly driven to the brink of desperation.

Only then did he order, "Guards, escort Miss Wen He away and settle her in. I will make my judgment after the final battle!"

At the same time, he whispered an instruction.

"Remember to take good care of Miss Wenhe. If even a single hair on her head falls, I will take your heads!"

The guards dared not be careless and quickly took Wen He away.

Even when forcibly removed from the scene, Wen He remained fearless, undaunted, and righteous.

"I'm saving people!"

"I did nothing wrong!"

"The fault lies with you, with your entire army!"

"I am Wen He, that's right!"

……

The soldiers were already dissatisfied with Pei Wugou's handling of the matter and were about to lash out when they heard Wen He defecating on their heads again, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

"Damn, she's not wrong? We're the ones who're wrong?"

"Song Shaoyi was a hostage, and she released him without permission. She's innocent? Damn it, what if we lose the battle and get killed? She'll still be innocent, won't she?"

"My lord, kill her! Haven't you always emphasized strict military discipline? Now the evidence is irrefutable, why aren't you punishing her? We refuse to accept this!"

"Yes, we disagree!"

"This woman must be torn to pieces, or I'll have to accept it!"

……

The soldiers looked like they were in rebellion.

Or rather, the soldiers were on the verge of rebellion.

For Wen He's sake, Pei Wugou withstood the immense pressure and returned to the command tent on the spot.

However, entering the commander's tent did not mean the matter was resolved; he continued to inquire about the situation of the entire army from his personal guards.

"My lord, the situation is dire! The soldiers outside are kneeling and refusing to retreat, and the entire army is starting to stir."

"My lord, the entire army is against you punishing Wen He. They say Wen He first ruined General Lu Chaosheng's marriage, and now he's dragging Xiang Demei into this mess, which is unacceptable under military law. He should be executed!"

"My lord, if this isn't dealt with soon, the entire army will spiral out of control!"

……

Pei Wugou's face turned deathly pale.

He knew what the consequences would be if the entire army were out of control. At that point, the army would become a raging flood, and he alone could not suppress it by force.

If such a situation were to occur, at best it would lead to a mutiny and chaos, at worst it would result in widespread looting and turning the people into bandits who would slaughter entire prefectures and counties!

Even worse, it could bring chaos and destruction to the world!

Pei Wugou couldn't bear such consequences!

Catching sight of his deputy Chen Song out of the corner of his eye, Pei Wugou grasped at the opportunity as if it were a lifeline and said, "Chen Song, tell me, what should we do now?"

"In any case, Xiao He absolutely must not be punished!"

Lieutenant Chen Song's expression immediately turned serious: "Yes, that's right!"

"Miss Wen He must not be punished!"

"Miss Wenhe is the love of your life, Your Excellency. Your love is more important than anything else, not just in Yunjing, but throughout the entire world."

"Love is the greatest!"

"For love, what does it matter if the sky falls and the earth cracks?"

"So what if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble?"

"For love, we can't back down an inch!"

"Absolutely no retreat!"

"We must not retreat, even if it means death!"

Pei Wugou was stunned.

He regretted asking Chen Song, because based on his understanding of Chen Song, Chen Song would definitely try his best to persuade him not to ruin important military affairs because of a woman.

But now...

Chen Song is so supportive of him?!

"Suddenly realized something?"

Have you grasped the essence of love?

Chen Song continued, "My lord, it was just a few soldiers causing trouble. You once used a knife to suppress the Cangbo Camp and made them dare not raise their heads, thus intimidating the entire army."

"Now, one can use a long spear to subdue the entire army and make them obey obediently."

"Besides, you're only doing it for love, what's wrong with that?"

"So, Miss Wen He is right."

"You did nothing wrong!"

"The soldiers are in the wrong!"

Pei Wugou's mood improved considerably after hearing those resolute words. She reached out and patted Chen Song, saying, "I never expected that you would support me one day, Chen Song."

"With your support, I have nothing to fear."

Chen Song stretched out his fist, clenched it, and said, "I will always be the Marquis's most steadfast supporter."

"However, my lord, I also need to make preparations."

"Let's work together to suppress those rioting soldiers."

After Pei Wugou agreed, Chen Song immediately ran to his tent and took out the letter between him and Wang Ming from a hidden compartment.

Originally, these letters were death warrants.

If he were discovered, Chen Song would surely lose his head, but now... these letters have become his lifesavers.

If the soldiers riot and try to kill him, he can simply lay out this letter and sincerely inform everyone that he has pledged allegiance to the Duke. Hey, he might just become the leader of these soldiers then.

It would be a great achievement to lead the soldiers to serve General Wang Ming!

and so……

He immediately put the letter in his bosom and put it away before going to find Pei Wugou, only to learn from the shadow that Pei Wugou had gone to find Wen He.

"What a damn devoted lover!"

"Be even more devoted."

"Even when the army is in chaos, you must remain devoted!"

……

"Xiao He, are you alright?"

Upon entering the prison, Pei Wugou's expression changed.

Because his beloved Wen He was curled up in the corner, tears streaming down her face.

Pei Wugou was terrified by Wen He's posture, which she had never seen before, and quickly rushed over.

Upon inquiry, it was discovered that Wen He had been threatened.

"Those personal guards, under the Marquis's orders, dared not do anything to me. However, on the way here, many soldiers pointed knives at me and said they would use me as a reward for the entire army!"

"Awu, I... I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

"How...how come they're all bad people?"

Pei Wugou was furious and wanted to kill him immediately, but he managed to stop himself.

He knew that if he were to take action now because of the rumors and gossip surrounding Wen He, the entire military camp would explode instantly, and no one could contain that kind of explosion!

"Xiao He, it's alright. Those soldiers were just being ignorant. I'll definitely find a chance to teach them a lesson and avenge you later."

"Ah Wu, only you understand me and care for me."

"You are my Xiao He, how could I not love you? But..." Pei Wugou's initial enthusiasm from Chen Song's beating had somewhat dissipated, and she couldn't help but say, "These soldiers will probably not let this go; they will definitely cause some more trouble."

"Then, what should we do?" Wen He was also getting anxious. What she had witnessed on the way had already chilled her to the bone. "Are they really going to punish me?"

"Hit me with the paddle!"

"Impossible!" Pei Wugou said firmly, "I will absolutely not allow them to show you the slightest disrespect. So what if you made a mistake? At worst, I'll take the blame for you."

Ok?

Pei Wugou's eyes lit up.

He took the blame for Wen He!

Why didn't you think of this solution sooner?

Yes, he could take the beating for Wen He without having to be the Marquis of Jingyi!

It's just a hundred lashes, isn't it?

He can handle it!
