Bai Qinchen has pinned this label on them; how could they possibly bear the consequences? If it were to reach the ears of the Emperor and Empress, they would certainly be in deep trouble.

Bai Qinchen didn't take it seriously and said with a grin, "Isn't that right? The Empress appointed me as a guard, and you two lowly gatekeepers tried to stop me from entering the palace. Isn't that disrespecting the imperial authority?"

If you said that this wasn't Zhu Yue'e's instruction, Bai Qinchen would never believe that two lowly guards would dare to disobey Zhu Yue'e's orders, unless they didn't want to live.

Clearly, this was Zhu Yue'e's way of putting him in a difficult position.

"Boy, shut up!" The two guards were so frightened by Bai Qinchen's words that their faces changed drastically, and they shouted at him sternly.

"Whoosh!" The two guards dared not delay for even half a second and rushed towards Bai Qinchen, preparing to subdue him.

Although Empress Zhu Yue'e instructed them to do this, once the news got out, Zhu Yue'e would definitely not admit it, and they would have to take the blame.

"Hmph!" Bai Qinchen snorted coldly as he looked at the two guards rushing towards him. He took a step and moved with incredible speed, disappearing in a flash.

Bai Qinchen swiftly dodged the two men's attacks, then suddenly rushed out, grabbed one guard by the neck, lifted him up, and slammed him violently towards the other guard.

"boom!"

The two guards collided with a dull thud and fell to the ground, clutching their stomachs and groaning in pain.

"With your strength, you're actually jealous of me being your personal bodyguard? How utterly laughable!" Bai Qinchen said coldly, kicking one of the guards to the ground. He squatted down and watched the two men struggle in pain, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips.

"Damn it! I'll make you pay! You just wait!" one of the guards said through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot, as he pulled a firework from his pocket.

"call out--"

The fireworks exploded, bursting into dazzling flames.

"Shhhhh-"

At the same time, several sharp, piercing sounds of air being torn apart rang out, and dozens of black-armored soldiers landed one after another, surrounding Bai Qinchen.

"This brat is trying to break into the palace! Seize him!" one of the guards said, glaring at Bai Qinchen with extreme resentment.

The crime of trespassing on the palace was enough to kill Bai Qinchen a hundred times over. He didn't believe that Bai Qinchen could escape from such a large group of people.

Bai Qinchen glanced around at the soldiers and said indifferently, "I am Bai Qinchen, a guard sent by the Empress. You'd better find out more before you make a move."

"Hmph!" The leading black-armored soldier snorted coldly, ignoring Bai Qinchen's words, and said icily, "Anyone who trespasses on the imperial palace will be killed without mercy!"

Bai Qinchen shrugged and said, "Alright, since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me."

As soon as Bai Qinchen finished speaking, he suddenly darted out like a cheetah, arriving in front of the black-armored soldiers in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to intervene?" Inside the palace, a maidservant beside Zhu Yue'e asked cautiously.

"Stop it?" Zhu Yue'e's lips curled into a slight smile as she said, "Why should I stop it?"

"But with so many black-armored guards, no matter how powerful Bai Qinchen is, he can't possibly be a match for them, right?" the palace maid said timidly, her head lowered.

"But in my opinion, Bai Qinchen doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all!" Zhu Yue'e stared intently at the palace gate, watching the battle between Bai Qinchen and the Black Armor Guards, a look of surprise appearing in her beautiful eyes.

The palace maid looked up and saw that Bai Qinchen was dealing with the encirclement and suppression by the black-armored guards with ease, and was gradually gaining the upper hand.

"How is this possible? Those are the Black Armor Guards!" The palace maid was extremely surprised and could not believe what she was seeing.

"It seems the Black Armor Guards have been too complacent lately. It's time to give them a good beating. Otherwise, if they encounter someone who trespasses on the palace, won't they be helpless?" Zhu Yue'e said leisurely with a slight smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty the Empress is wise!" The palace maid hurriedly flattered Zhu Yue'e.

“Hehe…” Zhu- Yue*yi/ (II) Qiuqi Liujiu Yi Shan Xia Yue’e heard this and chuckled twice.

In a short time, Bai Qinchen successfully took down dozens of the Black Armor Guards, leaving only the Black Armor Commander, who was left to fight alone.

Chapter 402 Getting into the Sedan Chair

"Is this how you usually guard the palace and the Empress? No wonder the Empress chose me to be her personal bodyguard." Bai Qinchen slowly walked towards the black-armored commander, and said with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "Your combat strength is too weak."

The black-armored commander was no longer as calm as he had been at the beginning. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and his heart was filled with fear.

"boom!"

Just as the black-armored commander was gripped by extreme fear, Bai Qinchen's foot slammed heavily onto the commander's chest. A tremendous force struck, causing the commander to feel a sweet taste in his throat and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, if you don't come out soon, I won't hold back!" Bai Qinchen shouted into the palace, standing on the chest of the black-armored commander.

Upon hearing Bai Qinchen's words, Zhu Yue'e smiled slightly and said, "It seems that this kid is not only quite capable, but also not stupid."

"Carry me over there," Zhu Yue'e said calmly, flicking her sleeve.

"Yes!" the palace maid replied, then instructed the sedan chair bearers to lift the sedan chair and head towards the palace gate.

Bai Qinchen heard footsteps and turned to look behind him. When he saw Zhu Yue'e's sedan chair, a faint smile appeared on Bai Qinchen's lips, and he strode towards the sedan chair.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!" Bai Qinchen said respectfully, bowing.

The palace maid lifted the sedan curtain, and Zhu Yue'e's figure appeared before Bai Qinchen. Zhu Yue'e was wearing a golden phoenix robe, which was elegant and graceful. Her dignified and beautiful features exuded a noble and elegant air. There was a hint of charm between her brows, but she was more aloof.

"Hmm!" Zhu Yue'e leaned back lazily on the phoenix chair, glancing down at Bai Qinchen.

"Bai Qinchen, do you know what trouble you've caused today?" Zhu Yue'e narrowed her eyes, a hint of amusement on her exquisite face.

"Cause trouble? What trouble?" Bai Qinchen asked, feigning confusion and looking bewildered.

Seeing Bai Qinchen's feigned ignorance, Zhu Yue'e's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she said, "Bai Qinchen, I like smart people, but I really dislike people who are too smart."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am foolish and have no idea what trouble I have caused." Bai Qinchen cupped his hands, still looking puzzled.

"Humph!"

Zhu Yue'e snorted coldly and said, "Fine, since you want to play dumb, then I'll ask you, who gave you permission to fight at the palace gate?"

"Isn't this what Your Majesty ordered me to do?" Bai Qinchen looked at Zhu Yue'e with a blank expression, as if he had been greatly wronged, and said, "You sent me to guard you, but these people won't allow me to go in and serve you personally. Isn't this disobeying your orders?"

"Ha, do you think my vast palace needs your personal guards for protection?" Zhu Yue'e sneered.

"You think these people can protect you?" Bai Qinchen spread his hands, and a large group of people lay on the ground around him, all clutching their heads and screaming in agony.

Zhu Yue'e frowned. She had originally intended to take the opportunity to teach Bai Qinchen a lesson and give him a hard time, but unexpectedly, Bai Qinchen gave her a hard time instead.

"Hmph! Let's go, accompany me for a stroll outside the palace." Zhu Yue'e didn't want to argue with Bai Qinchen any further. Her younger sister, Zhu Yueying, had already asked her to take good care of Bai Qinchen, so she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him.

After saying that, Zhu Yue'e lowered the sedan curtain.

"Yes!" Bai Qinchen cupped his hands in greeting and then walked towards the sedan chair.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" The palace maid saw Bai Qinchen trying to get into the sedan chair and quickly stopped him, scolding him angrily.

"Get in the sedan chair and protect Her Majesty the Empress!" Bai Qinchen said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Just stay by the sedan chair, who told you to get in!" The palace maid glared at Bai Qinchen and said fiercely.

“How can that be? How can close protection not be close to the body?” Bai Qinchen shook his head, resolutely refusing to compromise.

"You..." The palace maid was furious with Bai Qinchen, glaring at him through gritted teeth.

"Alright, let him come up!" Zhu Yue'e said calmly.

If it were anyone else, she definitely wouldn't agree to let them ride in her sedan chair; even a titled Douluo wouldn't have that qualification.

But she was puzzled as to why her younger sister, Zhu Yueying, had suddenly contacted her and asked her to help take care of Bai Qinchen.

What exactly is the relationship between my sister and Bai Qinchen?

Upon hearing Zhu Yue'e's order, the palace maid glared fiercely at Bai Qinchen before stepping aside.

Bai Qinchen chuckled and climbed into the sedan chair.

As soon as he entered the sedan chair, Bai Qinchen was greeted by a fragrant aroma that made him feel comfortable all over, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The interior of the sedan chair was extremely luxurious, with carvings all around and thick, soft carpets laid out. A vermilion brocade table was placed in the center, on which various pastries, fruits, and tea sets were laid out, making it look magnificent.

It's fortunate that the sedan chair bearers are all Soul Masters; otherwise, even ten or eight Soul Masters wouldn't be able to lift it.

Bai Qinchen didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down on the cushion next to him, picked up a piece of pastry, and ate it with relish.

"Bai Qinchen, do I allow you to sit down? Do I allow you to eat?" Zhu Yue'e frowned deeply and shouted in a deep voice when she saw Bai Qinchen eating without any decorum.

"You didn't say it was impossible!" Bai Qinchen pouted and then picked up another piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You!" Zhu Yue'e's pretty face turned slightly cold. Her status was so high that no one had ever dared to treat her so disrespectfully, but Bai Qinchen in front of her did not take her seriously at all.

"Is Her Majesty the Empress angry? So petty? Fine, then I won't eat it." Bai Qinchen put down the pastry in his hand and said with a wronged expression.

"..." Zhu Yue'e was completely speechless.

No one has ever dared to call her stingy before; Bai Qinchen is definitely the first.

"Bai Qinchen, no matter what your previous status was, from today onwards, you are my personal bodyguard. I hope you will not disappoint me." Zhu Yue'e took a deep breath to relieve the frustration in her heart, her beautiful eyes fixed on Bai Qinchen, her expression scrutinizing him, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will absolutely protect your safety perfectly." Bai Qinchen wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, clapped his hands, and said with a serious expression.

"Besides, as an empress, do you really think anyone would dare to lay a hand on you in this imperial city?" Bai Qinchen grinned and continued.

"Heh!" Zhu Yue'e chuckled lightly, glancing at Bai Qinchen, and said, "There are too many bad people here. Who can guarantee the safety of the capital city? The safety of the palace? Otherwise, why would I hire you as my personal bodyguard? To eat for free?"

"I thought it was the Empress who admired my good looks and kept me by her side every day." Bai Qinchen chuckled, looking lewd.

Chapter 403 Teasing Empress Zhu Yue'e

Zhu Yue'e was stunned when she heard Bai Qinchen's teasing, and stared blankly at Bai Qinchen.

To outsiders, the women of the Zhu family were cold and aloof, with a cold and aloof personality; very few people dared to look them in the eye.

Even the men of the Dai royal family dared not treat them rudely and had to be very polite to them.

Over the years, Bai Qinchen was the first person to dare to look her in the eye and say such offensive things. Zhu Yue'e was stunned for a moment.

Little did Zhu Yue'e know that of the four daughters in her Zhu family, three had already been completely consumed by Bai Qinchen, leaving only her. How could Bai Qinchen possibly be afraid of Zhu Yue'e?

Zhu Yue'e was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Her pretty face instantly turned ashen, and she said sternly, "You scoundrel! I am the Empress, how dare you spout such nonsense! Do you believe I will sentence you to death?"

"Look, he's getting impatient!" Bai Qinchen said with a grin, showing no fear of Zhu Yue'e.

Zhu Yue'e took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger and calm herself down. She said, "Bai Qinchen, do you really think I wouldn't dare to punish you?"

Zhu Yue'e was unsure whether she had found a personal bodyguard or a little devil who could drive anyone crazy.

"Oh!" Bai Qinchen shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

Oh? I'm so angry, anyone else would have been terrified and begging for mercy, but Bai Qinchen didn't react at all and still doesn't take me seriously.

"Are you so sure I wouldn't dare kill you?" Zhu Yue'e squinted at Bai Qinchen and asked in an icy voice.

Zhu Yue'e rarely experiences emotional fluctuations. She usually maintains a calm and composed attitude towards everything she encounters, and even when facing formidable enemies, she always appears to be in complete control.

But Bai Qinchen was the only one who made her feel a crazy urge, wishing she could tear him to pieces immediately.

That bastard deserves a beating!

I didn't notice it yesterday, so why is it so glaring today?

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have agreed to let my sister Zhu Yueying make Bai Qinchen her personal bodyguard.

"Your Majesty is joking," Bai Qinchen said with a still-joking expression. "Your Majesty is a noble lady who holds the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Xia Empire in your hands. How could you kill me for a mere piece of candy?"

"It's not because of the brittle!" Zhu Yue'e said angrily.

Because of her anger, her chest heaved violently, and her face turned bright red, making her look quite alluring.

"Then what was it about Her Majesty the Empress?" Bai Qinchen tilted his head, blinked his bright eyes, and asked curiously.

Zhu Yue'e took a deep breath and tried to speak in a normal tone: "Because I want to kill you, you must die, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qinchen's face lit up with a bright smile, revealing two rows of white teeth, and he said, "Just because I'm handsome?"

As he spoke, Bai Qinchen struck what he considered a very dashing and handsome pose.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yue'e's forehead immediately creased with several black lines, and she almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Is this guy really Bai Qinchen, the one who led Blue Tyrant Academy to the championship?

How can you be so shameless? So narcissistic?

This completely shattered Zhu Yue'e's worldview.

Zhu Yue'e stared at Bai Qinchen with her beautiful eyes and suddenly realized that Bai Qinchen was indeed quite handsome. His handsome features exuded a masculine aura, giving him a unique charm that made people feel close to him.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you haven't really fallen for me, have you?" Bai Qinchen suddenly leaned closer to Zhu Yue'e and said with a smile.

Zhu Yue'e woke up with a start, her delicate body jerking backward, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she glared at Bai Qinchen, saying, "Bai Qinchen, how dare you mock me!"

If outsiders saw Zhu Yue'e's expression, their eyes would probably pop out in surprise.

Who would have thought that the dignified Empress Zhu Yue'e would blush and become shy like a little woman?

"Since Her Majesty the Empress wants to kill me anyway, wouldn't it be a waste for me not to make a fool of myself?" Bai Qinchen chuckled, completely disregarding Zhu Yue'e's anger.
