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

"Herod!"

With Ren Tianye pulling the reins, the Jade Lion came to a sudden stop and stood steadily halfway up in front of the carriage convoy.

Ren Tianye then clearly saw the convoy that had appeared on the main road.

Pulled by four white horses, it was a maroon painted carriage with patterns and carvings on the carriage body shaped like silver clouds, and a bright yellow phoenix emblem on the roof.

Then look at the two armored soldiers clearing the way. They both had long swords at their waists, were covered in silver armor, and held two gilded tokens in their hands.

Suddenly, a thought struck me.

This is a motorcade coming out of the palace!

However, the Li family youth he was chasing left a lot of blood along the way, and the trail ended here, so... the people in the palace rescued them?

Ren Tianye's first reaction was that it was impossible.

The young man from the Li family was dressed in barbarian clothing. Any Yu person would definitely mistake him for a barbarian at first glance.

The Great Yu and the barbarian tribes are sworn enemies!

Those in the palace know best.

How could someone from the palace possibly save a barbarian?

But then...

Ren Tianye shook his head... Forget it, what kind of logic is this for female-oriented content?

He immediately spurred his horse to the middle of the road, brandished his halberd to block the convoy, and shouted, "I have been pursuing barbarians all this way. May I ask, have any of you seen a wounded barbarian?"

"Around ten years old."

"They were dressed in magnificent barbarian attire."

Ren Tianye explained the details one by one, but the two armored soldiers who were clearing the way did not respond until the carriage door was pushed open and a beautiful woman stepped out.

She wore a plain-colored palace dress, which made her complexion appear rosy and exceptionally beautiful. Her hair was styled in a neat and dignified way with a reddish-gold hairpin.

"I am the Chief Palace Attendant. Hmph, who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye immediately knew who this person was.

Aunt Xiao!

She is the maid of the current Empress Xiao Mingzhao. She raised Xiao Mingzhao from childhood and her status is even higher than that of Xiao Mingzhao's wet nurse. She is the woman most trusted by Empress Xiao Mingzhao in the entire Dayu.

just,

Why did Aunt Xiao, who lives a life of luxury in the Forbidden City, come to this cold and desolate place?

Could it be?

Is something important happening?

Could it be something so important that even the Empress's most trusted aunt, Aunt Xiao, would be mobilized?

Barbarians knocking on the gate?

With 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers here, even if the barbarians knock on the gate, they will be beaten and forced to retreat.

Internal strife within the border troops?

The 70,000-strong Red Beacon Army is the mainstay of the 200,000-strong border army in the northern frontier. With the Red Beacon Army suppressing internal strife, who would dare to rebel?

For a moment, Ren Tianye couldn't guess either, so he stopped guessing and said, "So it's the Lady Shanggong."

"I am the guerrilla general of Shanhe City. I pay my respects to the Palace Attendant. As I am still in armor, it is inconvenient for me to dismount and perform the salute. Please forgive me."

"May I ask, sir, have you seen a severely wounded barbarian boy pass by this place?"

Aunt Xiao said calmly, "I saw him; he was in my car."

"Oh? Then please, Lady Shanggong, hand him over to me."

"What should I do with it?"

"Of course, kill them!" Ren Tianye said directly. "If I don't kill these barbarians, do you think I'll let them invade and wreak havoc on my Great Yu?!"

"How dare you!" Aunt Xiao's beautiful eyes widened, and she pointed angrily, scolding, "He's just a boy, only about ten years old, the best age for him."

"You've already committed an unforgivable crime by hunting him down, and now you want to eliminate him completely?"

Ren Tianye dropped his politeness and the respect that should have been shown to Shangguan, and said, word by word, "He is a barbarian."

"The barbarian is just a child, and you're not allowed to kill him!" Aunt Xiao shrieked. "As long as I remain here, you won't lay a finger on him."

After saying that, he turned and left, getting into his carriage.

He immediately gave the order: "Continue forward!"

"Hurry up and go treat this child's wounds."

The armored soldiers who were driving the carriage received their orders again, but the carriage remained motionless because Ren Tianye was standing alone in the middle of the road, completely blocking their way.

Several armored soldiers had already drawn their swords from their waists; the blades gleamed coldly in the moonlight, exuding a chilling killing intent.

However, Ren Tianye's halberd was imposing and could not be shaken by the threat of these few armored soldiers.

Aunt Xiao inside the carriage instantly flew into a rage.

With a loud bang, almost disregarding his image, he kicked open the carriage door and stepped out of the carriage once again. He was about to curse angrily, but paused when he saw Ren Tianye's face.

"You, you're Ren Tianye?"

"Haha, I wondered who dared to stop me, but it turns out to be the 'real' young master of the Duke of Ren's family."

"That's truly audacious and reckless."

"No wonder your fake brother kicked you out of the Duke of Ren's mansion and exiled you to this bitter and cold place."

No wonder His Majesty despised him.

"Hmph, you have not a shred of mercy, and you even tried to kill a teenager. You deserve your current predicament."

Recognizing Ren Tianye's family background, Aunt Xiao's anger intensified: "Get out of my way right now!"

"A good dog doesn't block the way!"

Ren Tianye's face darkened.

It wasn't the things Aunt Xiao said about his background.

After all, he was a transmigrator, and even the memories inherited from his predecessor were not complete.

What does it have to do with him that Aunt Xiao is cursing her predecessor?

What annoyed him was that Aunt Xiao, that brainless idiot, insisted on taking the Li family boy away.

Even after acknowledging that the Li family boy was a barbarian, they still had a sudden burst of saintly compassion and insisted on treating and taking him away.

This put him under immense pressure.

You must know, that young man from the Li family was definitely a protagonist in the making. He was shot at the heart from both the left and right sides, yet he miraculously survived.

Riding the Jade Lion of the Night, he chased after them, but they were inexplicably outmaneuvered by him using an old horse, and he almost disappeared without a trace.

Keeping such a person around will definitely become a major threat to him in the future.

He must be killed today!

But that brain-dead Aunt Xiao is determined to protect him!

Aunt Xiao is also a confidante of Empress Xiao Mingzhao. If he offends Aunt Xiao today, the consequences will be unimaginable once Aunt Xiao reports back to the Empress and adds fuel to the fire.

It could even be said that there will be no place for him in the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Get out of here!"

Aunt Xiao coldly retorted again.

Her maids with knives and the armored soldiers who were clearing the way also shouted at them.

"You're just an outcast from the Duke's mansion. Who gave you the audacity to stand in Aunt Xiao's way? Get lost and don't get in the way!"

"Hmph, I think you're tired of living. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know why flowers are so red!"

"A discarded son of the family, a dead dog of the army, how dare you block the way? Get out of the way and make way!"

……

Despite the insults hurled at him, Ren Tianye remained unmoved, merely weighing the pros and cons.

He immediately hardened his heart. Damn it, this young man from the Li family must die today!

Offending Aunt Xiao is offending Aunt Xiao!

At worst, I could become a bandit in the mountains, hiding and running for the rest of my life. That would be better than being targeted by the Li family's young man, who seems like the protagonist.

He brandished his halberd, ready to forcibly take the person.

Inside the open car door, the young Li family member, who had just woken up, was so frightened by Ren Tianye's appearance that he quickly shrank into Aunt Xiao's arms.

"Help, help me..."

"I...I'm scared..."

Aunt Xiao immediately comforted her, "Child, it's alright. I'm here to protect you."

He immediately swept his cold gaze across the room, his eyes sharp as knives, and rebuked, "Ren Tianye, how dare you!"

"How dare you presume to disrespect this decree?"

"Does your Duke Ren's mansion bear such a accusation?"

She paused, a strange smile spreading across her lips, and her tone became leisurely as she said, "Ren Tianye, to tell you the truth, I did not have any troops accompanying me on my return journey."

"Just these people."

"Hmph, if you dare to obstruct me again, I will have your legs broken, and no one will know, and no one will be your witness."

"You'll just have to suffer for it!"

Her smile widened: "Don't even think about submitting a memorial to accuse me. Do you think His Majesty will believe your grievances or my words?"

Upon hearing this, the tense atmosphere seemed to ease considerably, and the maids and soldiers who followed him revealed smug smiles.

The young man from the Li family breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes once again filled with coldness and ruthlessness as he looked at Ren Tianye, the resentment deep in his heart almost overflowing.

But Ren Tianye...

But suddenly his eyes lit up.

"You mean, there's no one else with you guys?"

Aunt Xiao sneered, "Not bad."

"Haha, why didn't you say so sooner?"
