"Have I been disfigured?" Ren Baqian pulled Shi Hu and pointed to his face . He still depended on his face to survive!
Who would have thought that after experiencing ordeal after ordeal, he was actually attacked right outside Hong Wu's residence . Even if he could endure it, Hong Wu wouldn't be able to do so! If Ren Baqian was disfigured, he would have to get an explanation from Hong Wu .
"It's okay, it's okay!" Shi Hu touched the back of his head and giggled .
"Okay, my foot!" Ren Baqian touched the strips of cloth that were stuffed into his nostrils . His nose was aching and swelling while his forehead had traces of blood .
"Sir Ren? What happened?" asked Qing Yuan in surprise . He came out and saw that strips of cloth had been stuffed into Ren Baqian's nostrils . Ren Baqian's forehead was also red and had two long cuts on it .
"I was ambushed!" Ren Baqian felt very wronged . Who had he provoked to get smashed by a flying roof tile .
"Her Majesty beckons you to enter . " Qing Yuan pursed her lips and smiled .
Ren Baqian conveniently stuffed a White Rabbit Creamy Candy into Qing Yuan's hand . This thing was always successful in paving a way for him . When he had enough money, he would certainly purchase a factory which manufactures White Rabbit Creamy Candies .
As expected, Qing Yuan was beaming with happiness .
"Sir Ren, where do I deliver the beautiful maidservant to?" that burly man tugged on Ren Baqian's sleeves and asked sneakily . Up until now, he still hadn't given up yet .
"The palace, Pingle Park!" Ren Baqian replied without even turning back to look at him .
If you have the ability, you will deliver the beautiful maidservant . Let's see if the empress will hang your head on the city wall and let it become bacon . Leaving behind the burly man who was depressed and confused, Ren Baqian brought Shi Hu along with a few other winged cavalry captains as they followed Qing Yuan into the residence and passed through two courtyards before arriving in a room . From the exterior, the room wasn't that big and the decoration was quite ordinary . Hong Wu had never been too concerned about these things .
After entering the room, Ren Baqian saw the empress sitting by the table . She was using her fingertips to poke at a five centimeter thick table and was creating holes in it . Ren Baqian sized up the room which couldn't be considered big at all . It was about 60 square meters and was considered a humble abode for the empress .
The furnishings were also very simple with a bow hanging on the side wall . That was the only ornament in this room . There was pink muslin hanging around the huge bed inside, and this made the room a little more like a girl's boudoir . The room should have been arranged by Hong Wu after the empress moved in .
In addition, there was that table as well as a radio station sitting on top of it .
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" everyone said in unison .
After that, Ren Baqian continued to lie through his teeth and said, "Your Majesty has loss weight . "
"Have I?" The empress looked up at him and touched her cheeks .
"Yes, but you became even more heroic looking," Ren Baqian added .
"What happened to your face?" the empress casually asked .
"I was attacked by someone right at the door of this residence," Ren Baqian complained since he felt very wronged .
"Oh, Shi Hu didn't protect you well . A month of his salary will be forfeited!" The empress couldn't bear to look at the hurt Ren Baqian and conveniently punished Shi Hu .
Shi Hu lowered his head and said, "It is all your humble servant's fault!"
The empress glared at him . It was obviously Shi Hu's fault . Otherwise, could it be her fault?
As for the attack on Ren Baqian right in front of Hong Wu's residence, this was never brought up again .
"What about the rainbow clouds?" The empress slanted her head to the side as if she were trying to see if there were any rainbow clouds outside .
"When Your Majesty is ready to leave, you will naturally realize that you have to walk on rainbow clouds to leave . In the future, the commoners of Tiesuo Pass can also spread the heroic disposition of Your Majesty to the entire world . " She used her fingers to poke her chin and was rather astonished .
"Your Majesty, I have also brought along other gifts . Please allow me to make some preparations," Ren Baqian said .
"Come back as soon as possible . " Even though the empress wanted to ask Ren Baqian some questions, she was even more excited to find out what the gifts were that he had prepared . In particular, she had been stuck in Tiesuo Pass for more than half a month . Apart from recuperating from her injuries, she had absolutely nothing to do and found it very boring .
"I need some time," Ren Baqian announced before he left . He then brought Shi Hu with him and left hastily, leaving the few winged cavalry captains to be interrogated by the empress .
After he left the empress's room, Ren Baqian dashed to the main door of Hong Wu's residence . Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, he bumped into Hong Wu, who was wearing a green shirt .
"Greetings, Great General!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands in obeisance . According to the ordinary course of events, he should have went to pay his respects to Hong Wu first .
Upon meeting the jerk that he was going to "marry" the empress off to, Hong Wu glared at Ren Baqian and walked past him without saying anything .
"Did I provoke him?" Ren Baqian was in doubt and was very surprised by Hong Wu's attitude . At the very least, when he came back from Great Xia previously, Hong Wu's attitude wasn't this bad . They had still managed to converse with each other back then .
"We were attacked right outside his residence and have yet to even talk to him about it . He actually has the audacity to be so unreasonable!" Ren Baqian was aggrieved .
Shi Hu bowed his head and said nothing . Hong Wu was the military hero of Dayao while Ren Baqian was his immediate superior as well as the future Prince Consort . No matter who said what, he couldn't butt in at all . "Forget it . It isn't easy for an old man like him to sustain such serious injuries," Ren Baqian shook his head and said .
After he walked out of the courtyard, Hong Wu suddenly stopped in his tracks . He was fuming mad now .
A jerk like Ren Baqian, who was going to marry the empress, had even scolded him in his own residence . Any human being would also definitely be angry .
However, it wasn't worth finding any trouble with Ren Baqian over this issue because prior to this, Hong Wu was already determined to show him some colors .
Ren Baqian brought Shi Hu along and moved a pile of items to the courtyard . He then proceeded to dig a hole and placed the base of the tree into it . A few guards followed Ren Baqian's instructions and hung candies on the tree . Meanwhile, Ren Baqian continued to make cotton candy . Whenever the cotton candy expanded to the size of a human head, he took it out and passed to the guards so they could hang it on this tree .
Not long after, this tree with its originally bare trunk and branches became brightly colored .
A variety of candy wrappers and colored cotton candies made the tree extremely splendid and vivid . More importantly, the smell of cotton candy drifted far away, and even Qing Yuan and Hong Luan ran out from the room with their eyes sparkling with joy . A tree like this, filled with sweets and cotton candy, could be lethal to females . Just when Ren Baqian looked down, a silhouette appeared at the bottom of the tree and then began to climb upward .
"Librarian Lin…" a few of the guards shouted . Ren Baqian looked up and saw Lin Qiaole squatting on a thick branch while taking a bite of cotton candy . Her eyes were beaming with happiness . Lin Qiaole's other arm was still busy grabbing lollipops and stuffing them into her pockets . Her movements were so swift that it was almost shadowless .
Seeing that the size of her bust had grown three times larger, a few pieces of candy that had been hung up went missing as well . "Get down!" Ren Baqian glared and shouted at her .
Lin Qiaole blinked her eyes and declared, "I'll collect an advance on the protection fee! Give this tree to me and I'll protect you for a year!"
"You are not even worthy of this tree!" Ren Baqian noticed that there were pieces of candy missing and was hopping mad .
Lin Qiaole was confused . She hesitated for a while before saying, "Two years!"
Ren Baqian was speechless .
"Come down . I'll give you White Rabbit Creamy Candies . " Seeing that there was candy missing from the tree, Ren Baqian's heart ached .
A look of disappointment appeared on Lin Qiaole's face for a second . Soon after, however, she appeared in front of Ren Baqian and stretched out her hand right in front of his face .
Ren Baqian grabbed a bunch of White Rabbit Creamy Candies and passed them to Lin Qiaole . In the end, Lin Qiaole snatched the cotton candy that was in Ren Baqian's hand, ran to the side, and ate mouthfuls of it . From time to time, she looked at the tree and was full of admiration for it .
Ren Baqian turned around and saw the look of admiration on Lin Qiaole's face . His heart then softened as he sighed and said, "Let's continue to hang the candy!"
Fortunately, he had brought back about 150 kilograms worth of candy this time around . This amount was sufficient enough to hang candy around the tree several times over .
After instructing the guards, Ren Baqian grabbed another bunch of candy from his bag and threw them to Lin Qiaole . In any case, she was a cute and delicate girl, so he decided to treat her as his pet .
