Chapter 810: Harming People with Fake Wine

“Ow…” Ren Baqian felt like his head was going to burst.

The only thing that he remembered was Hong Wu pinching his mouth and pouring in the wine. He didn’t remember anything after that.

Actually, he couldn’t say he didn’t remember anything as he seemed to hazily remember some other things.

It seemed like somebody had sent him back while he was in a stupor.

He couldn’t remember who the person was that had sent him back.

He only remembered that it was a woman and that her body exuded a fragrance…

A fragrance aroused his desire…

What happened after that?

Was it a dream?

Ren Baqian opened his eyes and was surrounded by darkness. His head was exploding with pain. He staggered to the table and saw a bowl of green vine soup.

He gulped down the soup, and in less than ten minutes, he felt as if his head was being patched back together by using 1.502 glue[1.502 glue: Cyanoacrylates are a family of strong fast-acting adhesives with industrial, medical, and household uses].

He let out a long breath and cursed, “That bloody old b*stard.”

Inadvertently, he smelled the fragrance in the room again.

It reawakened some of his memories.

At the cost of being unable to dream, the [Ruyi Visualization] had tremendously improved his memory, thinking ability, and will.

Therefore, what he remembered when waking up was indistinct, but it was definitely not a dream.

Ren Baqian sat on the bed and tried to carefully recall. Someone had definitely sent him back, and it was a woman with a light fragrance on her body…

Did he hug her and kiss her? Both of his hands went under the iron armor and moved up… That iron armor was flexible… It was probably held together by some kind of animal tendon…

Poof… Ren Baqian’s eyes widened and he almost vomited blood.

Iron armor???

Iron armor!!!

Xin Zhe!!!

The only person in the palace who wore armor was Xin Zhe.

“I’m in deep sh*t!” Ren Baqian was stunned.

This fake wine was harming people! He would sue them until they went bankrupt when he returned!

If he couldn’t win the lawsuit, he would make it worse and destroy the brewery.

What had he done?

In an instant, his heartbeat went up to 202 and his blood pressure soared.

He stepped on the brakes, but he couldn’t stop.

He panicked as he tried to recall the incident from last night, and it was just as he had remembered. He had grasped two soft and slimy blobs, and the person in the dark didn’t resist. After grasping these two blobs, the fragrance became stronger, and it was like adding fuel to the fire…

Then… there was no more if… It should have reached that step…

This was probably the only tender moment in this thriller.

He fell directly into a deep sleep.

It should be like this!

It was definitely like this!

His face puckered up since he was feeling vexed. How could this situation happen?

He could only say that he had been holding back for too long and had been plied with too much wine by that old b*stard.

Furthermore, that rascal, Xin Zhe, lacked common sense and didn’t have any notion of decency…

From the way she calmly came out of the bath, participated in the electric shock test before, and changed right in front of him…

This attitude could be seen from these past events.

In that case, she probably wouldn’t take this incident to heart.

This matter shouldn’t have been noticed by others… but who brought the soup? Based on what existed in his memory, it seemed like there was nobody else…

Did Xin Zhe bring it over later?

That was a possibility.

This meant that the empress probably didn’t know about it… As long as nobody else found out…

Unless…

Ren Baqian imagined what the empress would do if she found out. There was a 99% possibility that she would look at him coldly with her eyes filled with disappointment and hatred before saying coolly, “Send them to be executed! Cut off both their heads at the same time! Bury him underneath the palace with his erhu for companionship!”

“Hahaha, that can’t be!” Ren Baqian laughed dryly. The empress wouldn’t be able to find out.

Furthermore, this was considered as despicable drunken behavior.

He couldn’t be blamed as he didn’t know. Did he ever tell the empress this phrase?

He considered himself as having been picked up by someone.

Ren Baqian wrestled with this matter in his room for half the night. He waited until the sky brightened, pretended to be calm, and paid a visit to the empress to face the consequences.

He looked as steady as an old dog, but was actually as anxious as a flustered horse.

Any man who got drunk before his wedding night and rolled under the bedsheets with the best friend of his fiancée would be in a panic.

Although she wasn’t the empress’s best friend and they didn’t roll under the bedsheets, the empress was no ordinary woman!

If the empress looked angry, his heart would immediately race like an F1 car.

The empress had just gotten out of bed with her hair still uncombed. She smiled and said, “You had a good time drinking with the general last night.”

“Your Majesty, it was the general who was happy, not me. He plied me with wine, and I was forced into drinking…” Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief. He looked like someone who was screwed.

In this situation, it was better to act as miserable as possible. If the incident was exposed, the empress wouldn’t blame him as he was the victim.

If circumstances permitted, he would like to curse 18 generations of Hong Wu’s ancestors.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t know why, but he was holding on to some resentment. After drowning you with wine, these knots should be untied!” the empress said with a smile.

Hong Wu had untangled the knots in his heart, but Ren Baqian’s knots couldn’t be untangled…

Moreover, the empress wasn’t his daughter, so what grievances did he have?

Ren Baqian had breakfast with the empress and then went to the academy with his guards.

After a short distance, he met Xin Zhe, who was patrolling the area.

Ren Baqian’s heartbeat started accelerating.

“General Xin Zhe!” Ren Baqian greeted her casually.

Xin Zhe pushed up her spectacles, nodded in greeting, and passed by him with her guards.

Seeing that Xin Zhe was behaving normally, Ren Baqian was relieved.

He conveniently sniffed the air and detected a light fragrance that had the same smell as the one from last night.

Sure enough, it was the scent from her body.

Fortunately, it had been her!

If it had been somebody else, he would be in the pits now!

But why was it Xin Zhe who sent him back last night?

Did Xin Zhe send the soup before those things happened last night?

Neither of these tasks was her job! She was the commander of the imperial bodyguards and should not have been bringing him soup or sending him back.

Ren Baqian couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to think about it anymore since he was safe for now…

Fortunately, his wedding would be in six days, so his days of practicing the [Yang Boosting Techniques] would end.

In the future, he would go to health centers and clubs. Then, this type of thing wouldn’t happen again!

After Ren Baqian left, Xin Zhe took a detour to the top of the palace wall and blushed when she saw the side of his face.

Ren Baqian had guessed one point correctly: it was she who had sent the soup.

She came across the palace maid who was bringing the soup, dismissed the maid, and delivered the soup to Ren Baqian instead.

She wanted to ask whether the electric shock tests were going to continue…

However, Ren Baqian was extremely drunk. She wanted to lift him up to feed him some soup, but she didn’t expect him to grope her with both hands. As if by magic, this made her feel hot all over.

Especially when his hands spread open the gaps between her armor and moved up, the feeling was rather similar to the electric shocks she felt during the tests…

This feeling was very strange to her!

Obviously, there was no equipment this time…
