The guards in the palace were all at the Kismet Heaven level and could lift more than 1,000 kilograms of force with just a lift of their hands. They could almost be used as human excavators, and the ruins of the palace were quickly cleaned up.
The broken wooden pillars and the long stones used to build the palace were thrown aside by two people standing on either side.
The only troublesome thing was the broken tiles, which were the most time-consuming to clean up.
When Ren Baqian went to court the next morning energetically, the ruins were still being cleaned up.
In the past, whenever Ren Baqian wanted to attend court, he would first wait outside the palace and attend court with everyone else.
However, when he was about to leave this time, the empress asked in surprise, "It's almost time for the court meeting. Where are you going?"
"Outside the palace!" Ren Baqian couldn't react!
The empress supported her chin with her fingers and looked at him with a smile. "Now that your status is different and you are already a prince, you can come with me!"
"Is that so?" Ren Baqian thought about it and couldn't think of anyone who had told him about this.
Even in ancient China, the empress wasn't qualified to attend court.
This made his status seem special.
"If I say so!" the empress said casually. In any case, there was no precedent in this area, so what she said was the law!
This was the first time Ren Baqian followed the empress to the morning court assembly. He was half a step behind and could see the side of the empress's face if he tilted his head slightly. During the court assembly, the empress's face was always filled with indifference.
As he walked, Ren Baqian's thoughts began to go astray.
With the empress as a precedent in Dayao and the difficulty of reproduction among the aboriginals, there might be a female emperor in the future. In the future, he had to remember to leave a rooster to rule the court and that princes were not allowed to interfere in court affairs!
After all, not every prince was like him, who was well-versed in both literature and martial arts and had no desire for power.
"What are you thinking about?" the empress suddenly asked without looking back.
Ren Baqian thought for a while and said, "In 10 days, we will get married again on Earth. I hope there won't be any trouble!"
"You still dare to bring up trouble? Who dares to cause trouble again! " The empress's face turned cold. The wedding was messed up by a few bastards, and she still hadn't settled the score with them!
Ren Baqian smiled. He wasn't afraid of anything on Earth as long as the empress didn't cause trouble.
When they were outside the hall, they could hear the clamor of the market.
In any case, it didn't seem possible to expect these fellows to attend the court quietly and solemnly!
It was already good enough that they didn't fight before the empress arrived!
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone finally quietened down.
The empress paused for a moment. If those people were to see Ren Baqian's current appearance, she would be too ashamed to face them!
However, he couldn't possibly not see anyone, right?
Forget it … Gritting his teeth, he strode into the hall and walked straight to the very top before sitting down.
As expected, a series of gasps could be heard behind the empress!
A few days ago, Ren Baqian looked quite normal. How did he become so skinny after not seeing him for a few days?
This caused many people to gasp!
The empress's eyebrows twitched a few times, but she suppressed it. There was no other way. No matter what, she had something to do with the fact that Ren Baqian was so skinny!
She disdained to explain herself!
Of course, she couldn't explain herself either!
Ren Baqian landed behind the empress. Along the way, he received gasps of cold air and winks from the crowd. When he passed by his original position, he paused for a moment, looked up, and saw Great Elder Shi Qing pointing to his side, the position closest to the empress.
The number one person below the empress!
Opposite them was the Great General Who Supports the Nation, Hong Wu, who was neither arrogant nor arrogant!
In fact, Ren Baqian should be standing in Hong Wu's position. In terms of status, Shi Qing was slightly higher than Hong Wu.
However, looking at Hong Wu's expression, Ren Baqian decided not to get close to him. Fortunately, the rules in Dayao's imperial court weren't that strict.
If they were strict, it couldn't be like a market every day!
Ren Baqian faced everyone's gaze and then sat down like an old monk. After standing there for a moment, he simply let go of his thoughts and carefully felt the current condition of his body.
His body was recovering very quickly. After two days, the substances that were full of vitality had only decreased a little. The remaining substances mixed with his essence energy and slowly circulated and decomposed like star sand.
These substances seemed to be of a higher quality than his essence energy! Not only were they gradually changing his body, but there were also traces of them being converted into essence energy. The conversion rate was at least 1: 10.
During the morning court session, Ren Baqian spent almost the entire time standing there and studying the condition of his body.
At noon, he went to the ruins of the palace and saw that more than half of the rubble had been cleared. He could clearly see that the stone slabs that were originally laid on the ground had sunk by more than a meter and were shattered everywhere!
After another day, Ren Baqian felt that his body had completely recovered. Other than losing close to 50 kilograms, there weren't any other effects.
In fact, he was even better than before!
This made Ren Baqian feel restless again!
He used to think that the pleasure in bed was limited, but with the empress … it was exceptionally different! The feeling of the fusion of the soul and flesh, the circulation of essence energy in both of their bodies, and the feeling of being connected as one wasn't something that ordinary pleasure in bed could compare to!
He couldn't forget about it!
However, he still had to drink the Tamkun Nourishing Soup for half a month.
It was said that there was a person called Li Xianyu who relied on this soup to indulge in pleasure every day … Then … he died of exhaustion!
There was no other way. Even a body made of iron couldn't take it! However, he obtained this soup at the age of 20 and indulged in pleasure every day until he was 30, which could be considered a miracle!
The effect was indeed much better than the Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill!
Just as Ren Baqian was preparing to recuperate in the palace for half a month, the Embroidered Uniform Guards requested to see him!
Ren Baqian met them in an originally abandoned palace hall. There were two tall trees in front of the hall that blocked most of the windows. The hall was rather cold and gloomy, and the empress had always disliked it. However, Ren Baqian felt that it was quite suitable for a commander of secret agents to meet his subordinates.
"Subordinate Xu Rong (Ping Tang) greets Your Highness!" The two men entered the hall with their heads lowered and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. This hall made the two of them feel cold and gloomy. They stole a glance forward and saw a man sitting high above. His face was almost shrouded in shadows!
Although the other party didn't emit any pressure, the atmosphere in this hall made the two of them feel pressured, and they didn't dare to act rashly!
Ren Baqian looked down from his seat of honor. He had some impression of Xu Rong, who was currently a qianhu in the Rearguard Commandery.
As for Ping Tang, he was a baihu.
Ren Baqian didn't know why the two of them were so anxious to see him!
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ren Baqian asked while holding a cup of nourishing soup.
Xu Rong gave Ping Tang a look, and the latter lowered his head and recounted what he had heard at the banquet in the palace that day. After that, he kept his mouth shut.
Ren Baqian narrowed his eyes. Should he say that these people were audacious or that they didn't know what was good for them?
Not only were they behaving with their tails between their legs, but they even dared to spout nonsense!
"Have you found out their identities?" Ren Baqian asked.
Xu Rong replied, "Yes. One is Jiang Biebu, the second son of Jiang Huan, the warlord of Yongjiang City, and the other is Sun Qingwen, the eldest son of Sun Shi, the warlord of Hu City."
After that, he added, "I also have to report to Your Highness that in addition to these two, there are more than 10 people who also spoke disrespectfully in private!"
"Well done. Give me the list of names in a while!" Ren Baqian nodded slightly.
After all, the Rearguard Commandery wasn't the Embroidered Uniform Guards or the East and West Depots of China. There were only a few thousand official personnel in the Rearguard Commandery, and most of them were in Tianjing Basin. This time, they could even find out what the people of the Yun Nation were saying in private, which was really good!
Xu Rong hesitated and said, "In addition, there is another matter that involves Your Highness and Her Majesty. Even though it's disrespectful, you must know about it!"
"Speak!" Ren Baqian's expression turned cold.
"This matter is about Lin Mengsheng, who has made great contributions to the Yun Nation! Rumor has it that his goal is to get close to Her Majesty! There is no solid evidence for this matter, and it's all private discussions among the people of the Yun Nation. I feel that I should inform Your Highness! "Xu Rong lowered his head.
He thought that since this matter involved Ren Baqian's status, Ren Baqian would definitely be furious!
However, to his surprise, Ren Baqian's voice was very calm. "Got it! Give me the list of names in a while and continue to do your own things. I will get someone to record your contributions this time! "
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
A moment later, Ren Baqian leaned on the couch and gently tapped his temple with one hand.
Lin Mengsheng … This guy really had foresight and took the initiative to express his feelings to him!
However, Ren Baqian didn't know what he was thinking and had to be observed in the future!
However, Ren Baqian didn't feel that he would really be threatened by anyone.
A woman like the empress could only love one person in her life. Once she fell in love, she would never change her mind unless she let him down!
He looked down at the list on the paper. The names, origins, and what they said were all in it.
Ren Baqian sneered. These idiots really didn't know what was good for them!
He put the paper in his pocket and sat for a while before leaving the hall. The sunlight immediately shone on him, causing him to squint his eyes. He still preferred the warmth of the sun!
It was much more comfortable!
