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

"We're sisters, best friends. Of course, I'll only think of you when something good happens. If nothing good happens, why would I think of you?"

Gu Qingyue spoke first, a gentle smile on her face.

But to Ruan Fei, that smile seemed empty and fake... carrying an aura that made her very uncomfortable.

The other women also spoke up.

"That's right, we only think of you, Ruanfei, when good things happen. We don't want you, Ruanfei, to never think of us at all when good things happen!"

"Sister Ruanfei, this is an incredible achievement! After much deliberation, everyone agreed that only you are capable of shouldering this great responsibility!"

"Sister Ruanfei, you command tens of thousands of elite naval troops. If you don't step in, who would dare to act rashly in something this big?"

……

The sisters chattered amongst themselves, but Ruan Fei's heart sank as if to the bottom of a lake, chilled to the bone, and she felt an extremely bad premonition surging over her.

She suddenly spoke up, interrupting, "What is it?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a moment. But after a short while, Tang Baobao, who was nominally the Grand Commander and sat in the main chair, said leisurely, "Actually, it's nothing."

"After discussing it with General Zhang Shi, we felt that although defeating Ren Tianye was not difficult, we could not let our guard down."

"Therefore, we unanimously decided that someone needs to monitor Ren Tianye."

"After much deliberation, the sisters felt that only you could take on this responsibility."

"How is it, Ruan Fei?"

"You're so beautiful, even General Zhang Shi praised you. How about we entrust you with this important task?"

Ruan Fei now clearly understands the purpose of these people: to have her monitor Ren Tianye.

My heart sank even further!

No, she believed it before when she said the all-female army could defeat Ren Tianye, but after witnessing their strength firsthand these past two days, she had some doubts.

Ren Tianye is, after all, a difficult fellow.

Now... are we going to send her to monitor Ren Tianye alone?

Isn't this just sending her to her death?!

He said coldly, "Does everyone agree?"

"Who are you all?"

"Can the four of you represent everyone?"

"We made a pact back then that we sisters would love each other and discuss things together when problems arose. But why did you single him out after you'd already discussed it?"

"I disagree with this resolution!"

Gu Qingyue immediately said, "Disagree? That won't do. This is a decision made by Commander Tang Baobao, and we must support the Commander."

Ning Wanqin added, "This isn't just Commander Tang Baobao's decision, it's also the decision of the other three of us sisters. According to the vote, four to one, Ruan Fei, you should also be sent to monitor Ren Tianye!"

Shen Zhian immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, who else could it be but you?"

Ruan Fei shouted, "No, absolutely not!"

"I strongly disagree!"

Sitting in her high position, Tang Baobao sneered, "That's not up to you. You're a soldier now, so you should obey military orders. You even said you commanded tens of thousands of troops on the Yangtze River defense line, how come... you don't even know such a basic requirement as obeying military orders?"

"Therefore, it has to be you!"

"In that case, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll send you three hundred elite soldiers to lead and monitor Ren Tianye."

"Of course..."

Tang Baobao smiled: "If you can take Ren Tianye's head while you're at it, that would be even better. You'll have done such a great job, and the sisters will cheer for you!"

Gu Qingyue immediately added, "Ruan Fei, if you think taking Ren Tianye's head is too cruel, capturing him alive is also an option."

"We sisters accept this outcome!"

Shen Zhian emphasized, "This matter is extremely important. Since Sister Ruan Fei is going to do it, then she should sign a pledge. If she fails to complete the mission, she will be dealt with according to military law!"

"Our all-female army is the only large-scale all-female army in the world. As it attracts worldwide attention, it naturally needs to have strict rules."

"Sister Ruanfei, you're no exception!"

Ning Wanqin added the final blow, saying, "The pledge must state that if the mission is not completed, there must be sufficient punishment... I think, Sister Ruan Fei, with your beautiful face, you can use your beauty as the pledge."

"If we fail, disfigurement as atonement is the best course of action!"

This suggestion was unanimously approved by Tang Baobao, Gu Qingyue, and Shen Zhian, who all cheered it on.

Ruan Fei felt ice-cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

These people... truly have no regard for sisterhood whatsoever!

Do you want to disfigure her?

No, she's pretty, so who does it bother?

And the demands these people are making are more and more outrageous than the last!

They can only bring three hundred men to monitor Ren Tianye, and even take Ren Tianye's head. There is even a military order to carry it out!

Ruan Fei completely snapped.

"You...don't even think about it!"

"We're a team; all five of us need to agree before we can continue. I don't accept your explanation!"

After saying that, Ruan Fei turned and left the camp. But she had a brilliant plan, and the other four cobblers could also come up with a way to get over the wall!

As soon as Ruan Fei returned to her own tent, she found that all the guards around her had been transferred away, and... orders came one after another!

"Ruan Fei, the President orders you to act immediately!"

"Ruan Fei, this is the second order from the Grand Commander. There may be a first and a second time, but not a third or fourth. If you continue to delay or refuse, you will bear the consequences!"

"Ruan Fei, this is the third Grand Commander's order, accompanied by suggestions from Commanders Gu Qingyue, Shen Zhian, and Ning Wanqin. If you dare to delay any longer, today will be your death day!"

……

Three Grand Commander's orders, plus three other women.

Everything, as sharp as frost and snow, crashed into Ruan Fei, causing her to tremble all over.

"This is trying to kill me!"

"Fine, fine, since you're forcing me to die, then... I'll cut you in two!"

Ruan Fei wasn't a ruthless person, but at this moment, she knew that she would be ostracized everywhere in this all-female army, and she was absolutely unwilling to continue like this.

Rather than this, it's better to leave sooner rather than later.

He immediately left the tent and said to the female soldier who had delivered the message, "Go back and tell the commander-in-chief, as well as my four sisters, that I agree."

"I've selected the right people in the last couple of days, and then we'll set off!"

After her personal guards returned happily, Ruan Fei rallied them again. Then, looking around, she found that, as expected, there were no guards sent by the other four women to keep watch.

This has always been a common practice.

That would be even better, making it even easier for Ruanfei to operate.

He immediately shouted to everyone, "Now, the Grand Commander has ordered you all to follow me to do something earth-shattering."

"Everyone, you have half an hour to follow me... Any delay will be punished according to military law!"

With a single order, her Wind Battalion instantly descended into chaos, but Ruan Fei didn't care. Chaos was unimportant; what mattered was leading these people away from the entire female army!

At the very least, with these people around, she is a leader in her own right, and will have opportunities to maneuver in the future. If she stays... there will definitely be no good outcome!
