Chapter 655: The Clock Tower (Part 1)

With one hand, Ren Baqian held the hand of the empress. With the other hand, he carried a stack of boxes that were tied together. A large number of cakes, candies, and wine were packed inside.

As the light began to warp, the view of the palace bedroom in front of them became dim.

Subsequently, they saw a bespectacled lady in armor standing a short distance in front of them. She cupped her fists and greeted, "Your Majesty."

The pair of red alloy framed glasses enhanced the femininity of Xin Zhe.

"Why are you waiting here?" the empress asked, set her hand free from Ren Baqian, cut the string that tied the boxes together, and opened the box at the top, which was full of candy.

"Your Majesty, Great Xia has invaded again!" Xin Zhe said solemnly.

Great Xia had been preparing for a few months, and the empress had known about it. Even Hong Wu had started preparing, so the empress wasn't surprised to hear this news.
