Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Ren Baozhi was so frightened by the scolding that his whole body trembled and cold sweat broke out on his back.

She came to her senses and quickly knelt down to pay her respects: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Wu Wencang raised his hand slightly to stop Ren Baozhi from bowing, still smiling: "No defense."

Ren Baozhi stood there in a daze.

Then, a familiar face appeared in the team. It was the man in black who had met them twice before.

He was not wearing a black robe today, but a ochre-yellow robe with a phoenix pattern, a sword at his waist, and riding a black Turkic horse with a strong body and thick bones. He looked handsome, elegant and full of power.

As Ren Baozhi was the only person standing in the room, the young man in black naturally noticed her.

He grinned at Ren Baozhi, standing out among the solemn crowd.

The team included not only royal relatives, but also concubines, civil and military officials, and of course Long Batian and Chen Gongzheng were among them...

However, Ren Baozhi had no intention of paying attention to these people at the moment, because she had already been frightened enough in such a short period of time.

The only person who could follow closely behind the dragon chariot and wear the ochre-yellow robe was a member of the royal family. However, Ren Baozhi was unsure of his identity. She had never heard of any royal man wearing a robe with a phoenix pattern.

Not until the entire team gradually disappeared from people's sight did people dare to stand up, and then the discussion started again.

"I heard that the Emperor and Empress have a Princess Qianqiu, so why are all the people here princes today?"

"Perhaps women have a strong yin energy and are afraid that the Fengshan Ceremony will be contaminated by foul spirits."

"According to what you said, how can the Queen of Heaven participate in this Fengshan ceremony?"

"Of course it's because she's been with the Emperor for so long, and she's been imbued with his masculine energy. Didn't you see how energetic the Empress was just now, while the Emperor looked haggard?"

"Indeed, could it be that the Empress has absorbed the Emperor's Yang Qi?!"

Everyone was terrified and started a new round of discussion on whether the Queen of Heaven was a monster that sucked human essence.

Ren Baozhi deliberately ignored those self-righteous and idiotic remarks and captured the conversation between the two girls.

"Sister, do you like the Queen or the Emperor?"

"Of course it's the Queen. She looks like A-niang when she smiles."

"Me too! The Queen is truly a heroine among heroes!"

"What is this 'heroine' you're talking about?"

"Didn't a heroic lady just say that only men are called 'heroes', and we grown women should all be called 'heroes'?"

"Who is the heroic lady?"

"Eh? Sister, don't you know that a big sister heroically saved a girl just now?"

"Just now? Tell me about it!"

The girl recounted the glorious story of the heroic lady fighting the dog eggs just now.

"Wow, that heroic lady is so brave?"

"Yeah, of course! She just said a few words and that guy fainted."

"Then I will become a heroic lady in the future and teach those bad guys a lesson."

"I want it too! I want it too!"

Ren Baozhi seemed a little embarrassed: Why do I feel embarrassed when others praise me?

On the way home, Chen Lanyue insisted on riding in the same carriage with Ren Baozhi. She asked excitedly, "Did you see those princes just now?"

"Ah."

"Then have you seen the man in black we met last time?" Chen Lanyue excitedly shook Ren Baozhi's shoulders.

"Ah."

"Ahhhhhhhh, he's a prince, a prince!" Chen Lanyue screamed softly. After the excitement subsided, she looked at Ren Baozhi, who had a calm face. "Why don't you react at all? Could it be that you already knew his identity?!"

"I don't know," Ren Baozhi said, "but didn't you say last time that he was about to die? Why would you be so excited to see a dying person?"

In fact, the real reason was that Ren Baozhi had just been shocked, or to be more precise, frightened.

Now she only hoped that the prince would not hold the past against her, and would be thankful if he could accuse her of some serious disrespect.

After entering Dunyifang, Ren Baozhi saw the thin girl called Xiaoji again through the carriage window.

On an inconspicuous street corner, she was selling vegetables with a pregnant woman who looked to be around 30 years old.

Although the East Market and the West Market were the commercial centers of Wu Zhou, there were also some small stalls, vendors, and workshops in the market that could meet people's daily needs.

They don't have their own stalls and can only put the vegetables in their own baskets.

The woman's sunken face was etched with a pair of lifeless eyes, and her bulging belly forced her to sit on the ground against the wall.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, and she was also stained with some of the vicissitudes of the sunset.

People were coming and going on the street, but few noticed the mother and daughter, and no one patronized their "stall".

Ren Baozhi stopped the carriage and walked up to the two of them with Jiangchun. She squatted down and asked softly, "What kind of vegetables are you selling?"

"These are just some nameless wild vegetables from the mountains, but they taste really good," the woman said, picking up a handful of wild vegetables and smiling innocently, "Look, I dug them this morning. They're so fresh."

Ren Baozhi looked at the wild vegetables in the woman's hand. After a day of sun exposure, they were actually a little wilted.

But she still nodded: "It's quite fresh, but you are pregnant, why are you going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables in this hot weather?"

"Needless to say, this kind of untouchable..." Chen Lanyue's sarcastic voice came from behind him.

"Yue'er, don't say anything wrong." Yunju's voice stopped Chen Lanyue in time.

Ren Baozhi turned around and found that the two of them had come over with their servants.

Chen Lanyue wanted to retort, but when she saw the disapproval in Ren Baozhi's eyes, she swallowed her words, snorted, and turned her head away from Yundu.

"It's all for this big fat boy in my belly," the woman lowered her head and stroked her abdomen with her slender hands, her tone tender. "Besides, boys are not afraid of hardship, don't you think, my boy?"

The corners of the woman's mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a twisted smile. This smile did not contain any happiness of being a mother, but instead revealed a morbid obsession.

Ren Baozhi couldn't help but shudder, but still asked, "Why are you so sure that the baby in your belly is a boy?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, the woman seemed to suddenly become a different person.

She kept shaking her head and murmured rapidly: "No, no, it must be a boy, it must be a boy!"

The woman suddenly pushed Ren Baozhi to the ground, her voice shrill and piercing, "You bitch, you just envy me for giving birth to a boy, you just can't bear to see me giving birth to a boy, but I want to give birth to a boy, it must be a boy, it must be a boy..."

"Mother..." Xiaoji's voice was tinged with tears. She used her rough, dark little hands to hug the woman tightly, trying to comfort her, "Mother, please don't be like this."

"Hey, you crazy woman, why are you hitting people!" Chen Lanyue scolded.
