Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Li Tingting watched He Yalan and the others leave, and smiled helplessly.

Only now did she understand why the late emperor had hesitated to decisively eliminate the three great families of the capital.

They could only helplessly play the art of balancing.

The answer is not that the late emperor didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

So she sighed softly, "How I wish I could deal with those families too."

However, the powerful enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is watching with covetous eyes.

If these powerful families are pushed too far, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After all, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite!

"Your Majesty is wise and insightful, and your words are absolutely correct!"

Li Zhong stepped forward, nodding in agreement with Li Tingting's words with a joyful expression.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, don't restrain yourselves anymore."

"Let's go! Let's go back to the General's Mansion to rest for now, and I'll return to the palace tonight."

"Um, Tingting, aren't you going back to the palace to see the prince first?"

Mrs. Lin looked at Li Tingting with delight and couldn't help but walk towards her.

Li Tingting stepped forward and took Madam Lin's hand.

"Let's go back and talk again!"

After saying this, she asked Madam Lin and Madam Liang to ride with her in the carriage back to the mansion.

Throughout the journey, Mrs. Lin shed tears of emotion.

He held Li Tingting's hands tightly and refused to let go.

She was afraid that if she let go, Li Tingting would disappear again.

"Tingting, you little rascal, why are you always causing your second aunt so much trouble? Waaah~"

"Yes! Tingting, do you know what's happened these past two months?"

How much your family misses you?

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Liang could no longer contain their excitement in the car.

Li Tingting gently comforted her two aunts.

Upon returning to the General's Mansion, the news of Li Tingting's return was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The news instantly caused an uproar throughout the general's mansion, with all the servants overjoyed.

Tears welled up in their eyes, especially in Hongling's eyes, who was most loyal to Li Tingting.

The first person rushed to Li Tingting and knelt down on the ground.

Her voice choked with emotion, "Miss, you're finally back!"

You're finally back, boohoo~

Seeing how agitated she was, Li Tingting quickly went over and helped her up.

Her face was adorned with a gentle yet magnanimous smile.

"Alright, alright! Everyone get up quickly! Go and prepare a meal for me right away."

I've been traveling all day, and my stomach is rumbling loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter at Li Tingting's humor.

.......

Meanwhile, news of Li Tingting's return to Beijing...

This threw the entire palace into chaos.

Those palace maids who were loyal to Li Tingting,

Everyone happily grabbed dusters and quickly swept the hall.

While muttering, "Quickly warm the Empress's jade pillow in the sun."

She changed the incense to her preferred pear blossom scent;

The eunuchs, on the other hand, were panting heavily as they ran through the corridors.

The leading eunuch jogged straight towards Emperor Xiahe's Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As the hem of her dress swept across the pillars, it also occasionally brought down a few withered leaves from the green plants on both sides of the corridor.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! News has come from outside the palace that the Empress..."

She has returned safely. As long as Your Majesty is here, you can rest easy.

You no longer need to fear the difficulties caused by the major families.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiahe's expression changed drastically, and he stared at the eunuch with horrified eyes.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and the teacup he was holding instantly fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"What? She's back in Beijing? How is that possible?"

"It's absolutely true! Your Majesty, the Empress's accompanying army has arrived at the palace."

They have now entered the palace to take over security and protection duties.

The eunuch thought Emperor Xiahe was overjoyed and had lost his composure.

With a joyful expression, he continued to assure Emperor Xia and Emperor of the truth.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiahe immediately slumped weakly into his chair.

He waved his hand at the eunuch who had come to deliver the good news, "Alright."

"I already know. You may leave now!"

After the eunuch left, Emperor Xiahe was initially trembling with fear because of Li Tingting.

After a long silence, he suddenly let out a mournful, bitter laugh.

"Haha, hahaha! I've lost, I've lost completely!"

How could I have been so foolish? Father, I am so sorry.

Your son is so sorry! Waaah... Waaah...

......

As night fell, the general's mansion's dining hall was brightly lit with flickering candlelight.

After Li Tingting explained all the facts, everyone waited for her to finish.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, especially the hot-tempered Li Xiang, who immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Outrageous! That heartless bastard treated you like this!"

If it weren't for Tingting's safe return, we probably would have been kept in the dark by him for the rest of our lives.

I always thought it was the He family's scheme.

"Hmph! Tingting, you're such a stubborn girl, you just won't listen to advice right now!"

Look at the scum you married! You worked so hard to put him on the throne.

How heartbreaking is it that he repays you like this!

Madam Lin, equally furious, glared at the palace and launched into a tirade of curses.

Even the usually rational and dignified Madam Liang showed a look of anger.

"Tingting, what do you plan to do?"

Whatever your plans, we will support you!

"Yes, when has our Li family ever suffered such a loss in silence?"

This matter must not be left unresolved!

As soon as Madam Liang finished speaking, Li Zhong made a firm statement.

"Hehe! I'll handle this, everyone can rest assured!"

After I finish eating, I will return to the palace to handle this."

Li Tingting smiled slightly at everyone, trying to calm them down.

So that they don't have to worry about them.

Li Zhong looked at her with concern, "Tingting,"

How can we feel at ease if you go back to the palace alone to handle this?

"Or, your third uncle and I can go to the palace with you later."

"Yes! Tingting, I think it's better to ask your second or third uncle."

Let's go back to the palace together to deal with this matter!

Mrs. Lin, still shaken, put her arm around Li Tingting's shoulder and gently advised her.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, don't worry! This time when I return to Beijing..."

I have made ample preparations, and the soldiers I have brought back so far...

They have taken full control of the palace's security.

So, that scumbag is just like a turtle in a jar to me.

Soon, Li Tingting said goodbye to her family.

Leaving the general's mansion and stepping into the palace, the night dew had already dampened the moss on the palace walls.

She didn't let the soldiers with her alert anyone; she simply passed through the winding corridor silently.

They headed straight for the "Chengqian Side Hall" where the prince resided, intending to first visit that troublesome devil.

The wet nurse on night duty outside the palace saw her and was so startled that she almost spilled the calming soup she was holding.

He opened his mouth as if to call out "Your Majesty," but Li Tingting stopped him by raising her hand.

The candlelight inside the hall was dim, and the brazier burned silver charcoal, making a soft crackling sound.

The baby in the cradle was wrapped in a swaddling cloth embroidered with a qilin (a mythical creature) in gold thread; its little face was round and chubby.

She was fast asleep, smacking her lips, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows faintly visible in the candlelight.

Li Tingting's throat tightened; the image of her struggling in a pool of blood two months ago overlapped with the peaceful scene before her.

My fingertips trembled slightly when they touched the child's warm cheek.

"Has his father come to visit him in the past two months?"

"Your Majesty, this... His Majesty, he has never come even once."

When faced with Li Tingting's question, the wet nurse hesitated for a moment.

He wanted to lie but didn't dare, so he could only stammer and stammer his reply.

Li Tingting gently put the prince down and walked out of the room with a murderous look on her face.

You scumbag! You're not a good husband, let alone a good emperor.

If you can't even be a decent father, then why should I keep you around?
