"Did you bring the erhu that you promised me?" The empress's voice drifted into Ren Baqian's ears. Ren Baqian was immediately petrified.
"F * ck, I actually forgot about it. Furthermore, the empress actually remembered … "Ren Baqian was at a loss and looked like a bitter gourd.
When the empress saw Ren Baqian's expression, she immediately understood and said faintly, "The crime of deceiving the monarch!"
Ren Baqian almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty, I have been busy preparing the floor lamp and the battery …" Ren Baqian hurriedly said.
"The crime of deceiving the monarch …"
Ren Baqian wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt that those people who filmed the Qing Dynasty should be strangled to death. If it wasn't for them, how would the empress have learned this sentence?
"This time, when I went … I encountered a huge change!" Ren Baqian immediately changed his story.
"Oh?" The empress was slightly curious when she heard this. At least, Ren Baqian seemed to be fine now, which meant that there were no major problems.
"The two of you can leave." The empress saw Ren Baqian's gaze and waved her hand at Hong Luan and Qing Yuan.
Qing Yuan looked unhappy. She still wanted to hear what exactly happened to Deputy Ren. At the same time, she was also curious about where he had gone.
These days, the two of them kept discovering strange things in the palace. For example, this lamp that could light up without adding oil or burning, and the box that could speak in the empress's hand.
This caused the two of them to have all kinds of speculations.
Unfortunately, the empress didn't allow them to listen at this moment.
"Speak," the empress said after the two of them left.
"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but this time, when I just returned, I heard someone making a noise upstairs. I immediately tensed up and thought that an accident had happened … At this moment, the culprit directly stabbed me with a dagger. Your Majesty knows about my situation and was stunned at that time. I barely dodged the attack. However, the other party wasn't just one person, but two … "
Ren Baqian spoke for more than ten minutes. He had the voice and appearance to describe his encounter with a thief and counterattack like a Hollywood blockbuster. It was thrilling and full of ups and downs. If one listened to his story, they would definitely think that he encountered marines and not two thieves.
For this reason, he specially showed the wound on his ribs to the empress.
"In the end, I stayed in the police station for three days before I was released. During these three days, I thought about Your Majesty day and night. After I left the police station, I immediately went to retrieve this battery and the floor lamp before rushing back to see Your Majesty. My empty heart was finally at ease and I finally found a place to belong," Ren Baqian finally spouted nonsense with a straight face.
The empress looked at him and shook her head. "Forget it, I'll let you off this time."
Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief. "It's not that I don't want to, but there have been too many twists and turns. I am physically and mentally exhausted after staying at the police station for a few days, and I miss Your Majesty, so I decided to postpone this matter."
"I can't tell that you are physically and mentally exhausted, but your face is indeed glowing," the empress said casually with a smile in her eyes.
She didn't know how much of what Ren Baqian said was true, but it was true that something had happened.
In fact, most of the time, women didn't care whether what you said was true or not. As long as she felt that what you said was true and she was willing to believe it, it was fine.
Even though the empress felt that what Ren Baqian said was a little exaggerated, but seeing that Ren Baqian was really injured, she didn't really care. Instead, she thought of another matter.
"Your skills are indeed too weak. When you encounter danger, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself. From tomorrow onwards, I will get someone to teach you martial arts. You must not slack off. Otherwise, if you are killed, even if I can avenge you, you won't be able to come back to life. The previous time was an example, and it will be the same this time, "the empress continued. There was a trace of concern in her voice. It was very soft, but it could be felt.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty," Ren Baqian said softly.
He also knew that what the empress said was right.
In such a world, no one knew when and what kind of things would happen.
In particular, the difference in the level of martial arts between him and others was too big. The corresponding danger was also greatly increased. If he really encountered something like the previous time, he could only resign himself to fate.
"I will do my best," Ren Baqian added.
The empress didn't care about his determination at all, "I will be watching you."
Ren Baqian, "…"
That afternoon, the empress sat on a chair. Beside her was a small table with fruits, sweets, popcorn, and wine.
Behind her was a huge imperial canopy that blocked the sunlight like a parasol.
Beside her were Qing Yuan and Hong Luan. One of them was massaging her shoulders while the other was fanning her.
Ren Baqian turned his head to look at the empress, then looked at the bodyguard in front of him whose build was similar to Schwarzenegger's. He was dumbfounded.
Didn't she say that she would teach him? Why did she go straight to the arena?
"It's faster to learn by sparring directly." This was what the empress said just now.
But now, was it a matter of sparring? Wasn't he about to be beaten up by the other party?
"Let's begin. Why are you dilly-dallying?" The empress ate popcorn, a grape, and a mouthful of wine.
It fully illustrated what it meant to be an onlooker.
"Deputy Prefect Ren, I will be gentler." That bodyguard tried to hold back his laughter.
Ren Baqian really wanted to spit on his face.
"Your Majesty, I feel that it's better for me to learn some moves first." Ren Baqian couldn't help but turn his head and say.
"It's alright, you will learn after a fight," the empress casually replied.
Ren Baqian looked at the muscular bodyguard in front of him helplessly. He made up his mind, shouted loudly, and dashed over.
His imposing manner was overbearing like a mad dog.
Then, he flew back at a speed faster than when he dashed over.
There was a huge footprint on his chest.
Ren Baqian clutched his chest as he lay on the ground and looked up at the sky. He muttered to himself, "Oh, life!"
"Don't be lazy, I'm watching." The empress was all smiles as she ate popcorn and drank Erguotou.
…
More than two hours had passed. Ren Baqian was lying on the ground. His whole body was covered in dust. Other than his face which was still fine, there wasn't a single part of his body that was fine.
"Your Majesty, I really can't do it. I feel like I'm seriously injured. "Ren Baqian's voice was full of grief, like a cuckoo crying blood.
"Oh, in that case, I will teach you a set of boxing techniques tomorrow. You can try again," the empress said.
Ren Baqian lay on the ground and refused to get up no matter what. If the empress had said this earlier, he wouldn't have had to suffer this beating.
At this moment, the sun had already set. Ren Baqian looked at the setting sun and thought about how he used to run under the setting sun … as well as the youth that had finally passed away.
"You are too crafty and very lazy. If it was someone else who had this opportunity, they wouldn't hesitate to train hard every day, but you didn't even think about it. If you don't suffer a little, you will definitely be lazy.
In the future, you will handle your work in the morning, practice your boxing techniques in the afternoon, and practice sparring on the other days, "the empress said sternly.
After hearing these words, Ren Baqian knew that his good days were completely over.
