Ren Baqian looked at the room he was in and was speechless.
Was he being robbed? Why didn't anyone ask for his opinion? Even though he didn't dare to say no.
How was he going to clean up this mess?
Escape? That was impossible. At the very least, he wouldn't be able to escape.
He was unfamiliar with this place. Even if he left the palace, where could he run to? He wouldn't even know his way out of Lan City.
If he were to escape like this, he would probably be caught within a day.
Ren Baqian didn't know how long he was in a daze. He heard footsteps and the door was pushed open.
The empress stood at the door and looked at him. Then, she sat down at the table in the room.
"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian quickly got up.
The empress nodded her head slightly. Then, the room fell into a short silence.
Ren Baqian had a lot to say, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"What do you want to say?" the empress suddenly asked.
Ren Baqian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the empress to ask him this question.
"As I said before, if the heavens didn't give birth to Your Majesty, it would be like an eternal night. Your Majesty's grace is unparalleled. I'm extremely grateful to be loved by someone like Your Majesty. I'm willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. It's just that I'm also afraid. I can't do anything for Dayao and I'm like a firefly in front of the blazing sun. How can I be worthy of Your Majesty's love? "Ren Baqian thought it over and over again and decided to offer some flattery first before saying anything else.
If he could, he wanted to belittle himself as a bug in a smelly ditch.
The empress looked at him, nodded her head and said, "You don't look so annoying and I like to listen to your words. It's you then."
Ren Baqian was speechless. Did he flatter her too much?
"Since you know that you're weak, follow me to the second level of Qingxin Palace Hall tomorrow to choose a martial arts manual. You must reach Earth Level. If I'm not satisfied with your progress, you know the consequences. "The empress looked at him and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ren Baqian didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Originally, he wanted to look for Du Changkong to exchange martial arts manuals. In the end, his plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Now, there was no need for it. He could just go to Qingxin Palace Hall to get it. The martial arts manuals there were definitely better than Du Changkong's.
"If you feel like you haven't done anything, then show me what you know. I have something to ask you. Do you know how to forge weapons to equip our aboriginal warriors? "
Ren Baqian hesitated for a moment. Right now, he had two choices. The first was to conceal his strength, but there were no benefits. There were a lot of disadvantages. For example, in the eyes of others, he only knew how to flatter others and was not favored by others. If his cultivation progress did not reach the standard in the future, his treatment would also be worrying.
Before he was brought in, he would have been extremely unwilling to do so. However, if he were to be chased out after being brought in, his fate would probably be even more miserable.
Since that was the case, he could only choose the second option. He had to do everything well so that he could stand firm. As for the rest, it would depend on his cultivation progress.
He immediately raised his head and said to the empress, "I wonder if there are any iron mines in Dayao? If we don't have iron ore, it's useless even if we have a method. "
"There are two of them, but their output is limited. Many people are injured every year. Furthermore, it's very difficult to refine the iron ores that are pulled back. "The empress was very pleased to see that he really had a solution.
"I have a method to refine iron ores. As for whether the output can be increased, I'm afraid I will only know after seeing it in person," Ren Baqian continued.
The empress nodded her head slightly. If Ren Baqian had a method, at least the shortage of weapons would be reduced.
After which, she threw a token to Ren Baqian and said, "With this token, you can go anywhere in the palace except for the treasury, arsenal, and a few other places. Tomorrow, you will follow me to Qingxin Palace Hall. "
After she finished speaking, she immediately left the house.
After the empress left, Ren Baqian collapsed on the bed.
Until now, he still felt as if he was in a dream.
After a long while, he got up and opened up the things that were placed beside him. Inside were all the things that he brought back from Earth. At this moment, Ren Baqian suddenly remembered something. He was going back to Earth tonight. How was he going to follow the empress to Qingxin Palace Hall tomorrow?
He was afraid that the empress would send someone to discover that he was missing tomorrow. She wouldn't think that he had run away, right?
Ren Baqian used all his strength to hit himself. Just now, his mind was in a mess and he had forgotten about this matter.
What should he do now?
Even though the empress was well aware that he had disappeared once every three days, it was different this time. In the past, the empress was far away from him. She had the heart of an empress and turned a blind eye to it. Now that he had disappeared on the first night of entering the palace, it was hard to say what the empress would think.
What should he do? Should he look for the empress now?
Ren Baqian walked around the house a few times and rummaged through his pile of things. Finally, he took out his camera and pondered whether he should send her a gift again.
After thinking about it, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get away with his current situation. It was better to be honest with the empress. After all, he was in the palace now and it was only a matter of time before she found out.
As for the rest, it was better than worrying about it over and over again.
Ren Baqian placed the camera back in its original position. With the mentality of throwing caution to the wind, he opened the door and strode out.
Outside the room was a garden that was at least three to four hundred square meters. There was also a small stream flowing through the courtyard. Unknown insects were flapping their wings and chirping in the night.
Ren Baqian strode to the entrance of the courtyard and saw an imperial guard standing at the door.
"Storyteller Ren!" That imperial guard turned his head and saw him. He hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to address him. However, this was Ren Baqian's current position.
"I have an important matter to discuss with Her Majesty," Ren Baqian cupped his fists and said.
"Storyteller Ren, follow me." That imperial guard nodded and said.
After taking a few steps, Ren Baqian suddenly thought of something. He could see the empress whenever he wanted to? Impossible, right? He was afraid that the empress had instructed him in advance.
He might have forgotten about that matter, but the empress probably didn't. Was she waiting for him to confess to her?
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian felt a chill at the back of his neck.
…
The empress returned to the palace. That mirror was standing not far from her bed.
She walked to the front of the mirror and could see the reflection of the object in the distance. It was clearly visible and there wasn't a trace of unnaturalness. It was much better than the bronze mirror.
The empress came to the front of the mirror and quietly sized up the woman in it. After a while, she looked at the words on both sides of the mirror and reached out to touch it.
It was smooth.
The words were engraved on the back of the mirror.
After a long time, the empress retracted her gaze, turned around, and reclined on the bed.
Qing Yuan and Hong Luan, who were at the side, quickly served fruits and wine.
"Do you have something to say?" The empress looked up and seemed to have something to say. She opened her mouth and said, "I have always treated you well. If you have something to say, just say it. "
Hong Luan placed the fruits at the side, walked to the empress's back and massaged her shoulders. She swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue and said, "Your Majesty, you have a candidate. Both of us are naturally happy for you."
