Ren Baqian looked at the room he resided in and felt a spell of dumbfoundedness in his heart.
Have I been forcefully robbed?
Why hasn't anyone asked about my opinion?
Even though I indeed wouldn't dare to say the word "No".
What is the conclusion now?.Escape? That's not possible. Besides, he couldn't escape as well.
Being a stranger in an unfamiliar place, even if he got out of the palace, where could he run to? He wouldn't even be able make out the directions once he got out of Lan City.
Just by himself, he reckoned that he would be captured by somebody within a day.
It was not known how long Ren Baqian was lost in his thoughts before he heard some footsteps, followed by someone opening the door.
The empress stood at the door and took a look at him. After which, she sat down beside the table in the room.
"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian promptly got up.
