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

Ning Wanqin was excited by her idea and didn't dare to delay. She immediately told Zhang Shi, made an excuse, left the guest room, and found the housekeeper.

He asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrote the letter, and handed it to the steward, saying, "These two letters are extremely urgent. I need you to send someone by small boat to deliver them to the perilous Yangtze River as quickly as possible. Can you do that?"

This made the butler a little nervous.

He quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely deliver it to you, Miss."

"Alright, send someone over quickly!"

The housekeeper didn't dare to delay, after all, Shen Zhian had given instructions before the trip that he must complete any instructions Ning Wanqin gave him as much as possible.

They immediately dispatched people, even waving lanterns on the ship to send signals, so that when the escorting ships arrived, they could arrange for someone to deliver the message quickly.

It must be said that the butler was very efficient. A small boat sped across the Yangtze River and quickly delivered the two letters to Shen Zhian and Ruan Fei respectively.

Shen Zhian almost couldn't wait to open the letter and saw what Ning Wanqin had written. He was overjoyed.

"It seems that my decision to deliberately establish diplomatic relations with Ning Wanqin was absolutely correct. Now that Ning Wanqin has something good to share, she thinks of me first."

"By establishing private cliques with Ning Wanqin and Ruan Fei separately, how could my position among all the women be unstable in the future?"

"Absolutely guaranteed!"

Shen Zhian was overjoyed, but Ruan Fei, who received the letter, was even more surprised than she was.

"Sister Wanqin, you actually managed to turn Zhang Shi against his side and even notified me immediately. You deserve some credit for that too!"

"Haha, I knew it! Befriending both of my older sisters was absolutely the right thing to do. Now the benefits are coming in, aren't they?"

"With General Zhang Shi turned against me, I have another trump card!"

Ruan Fei felt like she was floating.

Because, just now, she had her first trump card!

A letter has arrived from Lord Gu Qingyue!

Lord Gu Qingyue has already assembled an all-female army!

There are tens of thousands of people!

Now, as long as Zhou Mengyan nods, Lady Gu Qingyue's women's army... no, their entire women's army will set off for the Yangtze River region to block Ren Tianye's army!

"With General Zhang Shi as my advisor, and our all-female army... how could I not establish a great career here on the Yangtze River?"

"If Madam can do it, I'm sure I can do it even better!"

"Then, Brother Meng Yan will be mine!"

Ruan Fei spent a long time trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't. So she decided not to sleep and strode towards the central army camp before dawn, in the dim light.

"slow!"

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan's personal guards stopped her: "Miss Ruan Fei, the Grand Commander has been arranging troops until late at night and has only just fallen asleep. It is not appropriate to disturb him. Please leave."

The guard spoke politely, but his demeanor was quite cold, with an expression that kept everyone at arm's length, which instantly infuriated Ruan Fei.

Because this personal guard was transferred after the two naval commanders, Zhao and Qian, were killed; he was the lady's man!

Before, Wen He could only swallow her anger and rely on her brother Meng Yan to turn the tide, but now... she has two trump cards in her hands, General Zhang Shi and the Women's Army, and she is so confident that she wants to conquer the world.

They didn't take the lowly personal guards in front of them seriously at all.

He coldly replied, "Insolence!"

"I am a naval general personally appointed by the Grand Commander. I have come to report military intelligence to the Grand Commander. The intelligence is extremely urgent and concerns the safety of our Yangtze River defense line. How dare you, a mere soldier, stop me?"

"Do you want to die?"

These words were spoken with the sharpness and intensity of clashing swords.

The guards, however, didn't care at all.

Do they really think they don't know? Isn't Ruan Fei just a poor fisherwoman who was sponsored by the Grand Commander and his wife? Now she's developing inappropriate thoughts, causing trouble every day, and is almost ruining the military camp.

She has military intelligence to her name?

Whenever she has any major military intelligence, the Yangtze River defense line should collapse!

So the guards drew their swords and blocked Ruan Fei's way, giving her no chance to enter.

Enraged, Ruan Fei wanted to grab a knife and kill the guards, but she was too weak to even kill a chicken. She could only stare helplessly and worry in vain. Finally, she made up her mind and shouted.

"Brother Meng Yan, Brother Meng Yan, Brother Meng Yan..."

The shouts rang out, growing more urgent and louder until a deep, muffled voice came from inside the tent: "What's wrong?"

It was clearly the voice of Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan.

Immediately, Zhou Mengyan put on his coat and came out. He glanced at Ruan Fei, his eyes initially cold. After all, it was because of Ruan Fei's bad recommendation that he lost the two naval commanders, Zhao and Qian. To this day, the selection of the naval commander has not yet been finalized.

It can be said that Ruan Fei broke his left and right arms in one fell swoop, so how could he not harbor resentment towards Ruan Fei?

However, this coldness didn't even last a moment before Zhou Mengyan's voice softened, saying, "Xiao Fei, it's not even dawn yet, and you're bothering me like this. It's really inappropriate."

"Go back and rest. We can talk about it later. Don't overwork yourself."

The gentleness in his words instantly captivated Ruan Fei, her eyes welling up with tears. With a slight movement, she nestled weakly into Zhou Mengyan's arms, looking pitiful and aggrieved as she asked, "Brother Mengyan, did...did Xiao Fei do something to upset you?"

"You haven't paid any attention to Xiaofei for a long time, Xiaofei..."

"Xiao Fei deserves to die, she made Brother Meng Yan unhappy."

Zhou Mengyan felt a pang of heartache and quickly said, "Xiao Fei, don't overthink it. Why would you upset me? It's just that we haven't had a replacement for the naval commander lately, so I have to handle many things personally. I'm working day and night and my energy is running low..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Fei's tears turned to joy, and she said, "Brother Meng Yan, I can help you solve this problem."

"Although Xiaofei doesn't understand military matters, defense, or naval forces, she's wholeheartedly trying to help you, Brother Mengyan, and has already found a solution!"

In the past, if Ruan Fei had said such things, Zhou Mengyan would have been overjoyed. He would have not only sighed that his little Fei had truly grown up and could share his burdens, but even...

He would also boast about it to the lady, hoping to change her bad impression of Ruan Fei.

But the lessons of the past were still fresh in his mind. Not only did Generals Zhao and Qian die unjustly, but they also paralyzed the entire military affairs, which made Zhou Mengyan suddenly realize the gravity of the situation.

"Xiao Fei, the title of naval commander was given to you by this governor, but you... don't need to worry about military affairs."

"Military matters are for others to handle!"
