The Empress’s Gigolo

Zichen Palace Hall was brightly lit at night.

There were hundreds of people in the palace, but it was pretty quiet.

Ren Baqian and the empress sat at the top while Dayao’s officials and the experts of Great Xia sat below, each group on one side of the hall.

There were two special people on Dayao’s side, Qingyun Sword and Zuo Cheng.

In terms of strength, the two were slightly weaker compared to the others. However, they represented the Jing Tribe, another group in Dayao.

The scene in the hall made them both feel indescribably emotional.

Just a few years ago, Qingyun Sword and Zuo Cheng were still working hard to revolt.

They didn’t expect everything to change in just a few years.

However, this change made them feel gratified as well as a little regretful.

They felt gratified because Ren Baqian’s promise to them was slowly being realized. The people who joined the Rearguard Commandery were currently spread all over Tianjing Basin, the Yun Nation, and also Great Xia.

Some of the ordinary people now lived in Lan City, walking in the same city as the aboriginals.

Although it wasn’t perfect and they still encountered disturbances, the two were satisfied with the change.

Qingyun Sword and Zuo Cheng felt regret that many of their fellow experts had died in Tianjing Basin back then.

If they were still around and saw the current situation, they would probably approve of the decision that the two made back then

“Everyone, I never thought that there would come a time when all of us would sit down like this.” The empress fiddled with her wine glass.

In fact, her initial idea of how she would meet them was with her sitting at the top while overlooking their dismembered heads below.

She would then say, “Put them into the ground, and let them become Dayao’s cornerstone.”

This suited her image very well.

“I also didn’t expect this. We would always be fighting whenever we met in the past.” Qin Chuan laughed as he stroked his beard.

Upon hearing this, most of the people began to smile.

Indeed, who would have thought that these Great Xia people would one day be sitting together with so many aboriginal experts?

“In the future, we must let go of the hatred of each other’s race and nation.” Ren Baqian stood up and made a toast. “Everyone, the human race for the human race!”

The people below looked at him and thought about him holding a wine glass in one hand while waving the detonating device for the nuclear warheads in the other. Very quickly, they made a decision.

“For the human race!” everyone replied.

Everyone saying this together explained their standpoint.

They couldn’t possibly stay away from it anymore.

Of course, they couldn’t do so previously either. Even the dumb Lin Yue understood this, not to mention the others.

The only thing they felt weird about was that this entire plan wasn’t initiated by Great Xia, the nation that had always been the most powerful in the world, but by Dayao. Furthermore, it was initiated by a person who had not even attained the Spirit Wheel level.

In their memories, Great Xia had always been the one forgiving and taking in others. Yet, they had now been taken in by others.

The banquet was considered pretty harmonious. Under the empress’s control, Qin Chuan and the others weren’t allowed to perform striptease or Mortal Kombat.

She was also in high spirits, and the end result was that she… drank too much!

Plus, since Ren Baqian’s kidneys had recovered…

“Great Elder, Her Majesty will probably be unable to attend tomorrow’s court session. Furthermore, the discussion scheduled for tomorrow also cannot be held.” Xin Zhe pried open Shi Qing’s door in the middle of the night.

“Huh?” He froze.

“I have conveyed the message.” She nodded at Shi Qing. If he hadn’t asked her about it before and also obtained the empress’s approval, she probably wouldn’t have bothered to inform him.

Xin Zhe disappeared into the darkness after she conveyed the message. Anyway, she couldn’t hear anything that he had to say. She had been having some problems with her ears lately… There was always a buzzing sound.

Shi Qing sighed. It seemed like Yaohua Palace Hall… was going to collapse sometime soon!

He had no idea where they were going to move to next…

“What? Postponed?” After hearing the news the next day, Li Yuanzhu didn’t have much of a reaction, but Ning Qing jumped up.

“They actually postponed the discussion of such a huge matter with so many powerful experts around? They are too insincere!”

Li Yuanzhu frowned slightly as well. Why was the discussion postponed when it had just been confirmed the day before? She wondered what had happened.

“Go find out what’s happening.” Li Yuanzhu spoke halfway and retracted her words. “Forget it. This isn’t the temple, and you don’t have to do it. Others will find out what happened.”

“What do you mean, Senior? I somehow feel that you’re looking down on me?” Ning Qing glared with a vicious look.

“No. What you think… is right!” Li Yuanzhu’s words suddenly changed. With threatening gestures, Ning Qing immediately leaped up and demanded an explanation from her.

In fact, many of the experts weren’t feeling very happy that Qi Zixiao and Ren Baqian had postponed the discussion for many days without giving an explanation.

There were many people who wanted to know what had happened, and they were wondering if any unforeseen circumstances had occurred.

Otherwise, why was it suddenly delayed?

The aboriginal officials didn’t regard this as a confidential matter. How could a group of people who danced and whistled at the banquet be expected to feel that this was a private matter for the royal family and that it had to be kept secret?

It didn’t take long for everyone to understand the whole story, which left them dumbfounded…

They didn’t know how they should react…

Ning Qing ran out while harping on the matter to find out what had happened. After learning from the others, she ran back with her face flushed.

“What did you hear about?” Li Yuanzhu felt pretty amused when she saw Ning Qing’s face.

“Well…” How was Ning Qing supposed to explain?

Li Yuanzhu smiled.

She felt a little strange as well. Although Ning Qing wasn’t diligent in practicing martial arts, she was pretty efficient at finding gossip. How could she not have found out about anything? Why was her face so red?

Ning Qing gritted her teeth and said, “Those two are copulating! I heard that they will take at least three to four days!”

Li Yuanzhu’s face immediately blushed!

“Shameless! Scumbag! Obscene!” Ning Qing scolded as she gnashed her teeth.

“Truly a barbarian. All men are obscene!” She muttered indignantly for a long time before raising her head and wondering aloud, “Does it take that long? I don’t see this in novels!”

“What novel?” Li Yuanzhu asked profoundly. Her gaze was suddenly filled with… an inexplicable feeling…

“Oh, it’s nothing!” Ning Qing hurriedly replied and ran away.

Four days later, Ren Baqian came out holding his waist. At present, the empress’s quarters had been changed from Yaohua Palace Hall to Fenghuan Palace Hall.

Although he was holding his waist, he seemed to appear pleasantly surprised.

His hip bones weren’t broken this time. His spine, arms, and legs were all fine as well…

“We ought to celebrate!” Ren Baqian was full of joy.

After considering the possibility of it happening again after the celebration, he decided to give up the idea.

However, he was still beaming with joy. The others certainly wouldn’t know what he was so happy about.

That night, Ren Baqian went to visit the experts one by one. After all, he had stood them up for a few days, which was inexcusable.

He received a note from every room that he visited.

There was one from Xu Gongsou, Lin Dong, Blood River Demon, Gao Yi…

Ren Baqian was puzzled. Was it popular for experts to send kidney supplementation recipes to improve their relationships?

Furthermore, he received a different recipe from each expert?

Why would the top experts of the world carry around kidney supplementation recipes with them?

Were they all suffering from weak kidneys?

This novel should be renamed “Weak Kidneys!”

Only Li Yuanzhu acted like normal… but she had a pretty strange gaze as well…

Oh, Lin Yue was pretty normal.

A long while after Ren Baqian left her room and returned to the palace, Lin Yue patted her head and exclaimed, “I forgot to ask him why the discussion was delayed for five days!”

After thinking about it for some time, she thought to herself, It doesn’t matter anyway!
