The number one rebel of the Great Wu

In a secluded part of the Crown Prince's residence, in the miscellaneous affairs room.

Inside the courtyard, Manager Wang was comfortably reclining in a rattan chair, looking completely at ease.

Meanwhile, the eunuchs beside him were massaging his back and legs, each with a fawning expression.

"Manager Wang?"

Xiang'er led Chen Changgeng in, and upon seeing this, she frowned.

In this shack room, Manager Wang is the local tyrant. Anyone who steps into this place has their life in his hands!

Hearing Xiang'er's call, Steward Wang didn't even lift his eyelids, playing with the leather whip in his hand, and opened his mouth in a muffled voice.

"Do you know what kind of place this is?! The eighteen levels of hell within the Crown Prince's palace!"

"No matter who your master was before, once you're here, you'd better act like a subservient grandson!"

"Even if you get out, don't be smug. You never know when you might offend your master and end up back in, understand?"

Manager Wang's warning was deliberately meant for Xiang'er to hear.

Xiang'er also went into the errand room once.

That time, Steward Wang saw that Xiang'er was pretty and wanted to force her to do something filthy. Fortunately, the Crown Princess returned to the mansion and rescued Xiang'er in time.

He was secretly delighted to see Xiang'er come again!

Chen Changgeng stood behind Xiang'er and saw that Xiang'er's delicate body trembled upon hearing the sound, and her face immediately darkened slightly.

Seeing the lewd look in Steward Wang's eyes, he already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

That old eunuch actually had designs on Xiang'er!

"Manager Wang, you've misunderstood."

Xiang'er huffed angrily and immediately raised her voice.

"This is Xiao Gengzi. He was originally the Crown Prince's study companion, but he was punished and sent here for a minor offense."

"He might leave tomorrow, Manager Wang, you'd better take it easy!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang's eyes flashed with displeasure.

"What? There's no such rule in our janitor's office."

"You were punished by your master and now you expect me, the steward, to serve you like a grandfather?"

"No way!"

Instead of getting what he wanted, he was even arrogantly rebuked by Xiang'er.

Manager Wang's face immediately darkened, and he glared at Chen Changgeng with eyes as sharp as knives.

"New guy, it just so happens we still have over thirty chamber pots that haven't been cleaned."

"We won't make things difficult for you; we'll give you one night!"

"I'll check tomorrow morning; if there's even one that's dirty!"

Manager Wang sneered and rolled up the leather whip in his hand.

"This thing I have isn't just for show!"

"you……!"

Seeing that Steward Wang was not only unafraid but also deliberately acted arrogantly, Xiang'er immediately turned pale with anger.

Chen Changgeng remained completely calm and instead gave her a mysterious smile.

"Sister Xiang'er, don't be angry. This old man can't do anything to me."

"Not only can he not do anything to me, I can also teach him a lesson and avenge Sister Xiang'er!"

"Really...really? You can't do anything like that!"

Xiang'er looked worried, but in the end she gritted her teeth and advised.

"Forget it, you'd better behave yourself. At worst, you'll suffer a bit, but just don't cause any trouble."

"I'll plead with the Crown Princess later, and you'll be released in a couple of days!"

Xiang'er knew perfectly well how capable Steward Wang was.

She was afraid that this young Gengzi was too foolish and wouldn't be able to defeat the other party!

Chen Changgeng smiled mysteriously and gave Xiang'er a reassuring look.

As for hardship, Chen Changgeng couldn't bear any of it.

All that's needed is for the Emperor to review it tomorrow, and then the Crown Prince will come running to him eagerly.

If this Steward Wang dares to lay a finger on me, then I can expect to lose my head!

……

After a short while, like drinking a cup of tea.

The back door of the janitor's room creaked open, and Chen Changgeng poked his head out before quickly slipping out.

After Xiang'er left, Steward Wang called a lackey to lock Chen Changgeng in the outhouse, thinking that the smoke from the thirty-odd chamber pots would kill him!

Little did anyone know that Chen Changgeng had no intention of working at all. He quickly pried open the back window, sneaked out, and headed straight for the Crown Princess's palace.

Meanwhile, in the Crown Princess's palace.

Inside the bath, a misty haze filled the air.

Shen Qingci slowly removed her clothes and stepped into the warm pool water.

Her stunning figure and jade-like skin were on full display at this moment.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single maidservant to be seen in the entire bath, so no one was there to appreciate it!

Shen Qingci always disliked being served while taking a bath, all because of a secret she carried!

Since ancient times, a woman with a white tiger body has been considered unlucky in marriage.

Therefore, she was strictly forbidden from speaking about this matter since childhood.

Fortunately, she and the Crown Prince had always been at odds, and even though they had been married for so long, they had never consummated their marriage, which is why this secret has been kept until now.

Ripples spread across the water's surface, and Shen Qingci, looking melancholy, unconsciously stroked her flat stomach with her slender fingertips.

"Squeak!"

A soft sound suddenly came from a window in the distance.

Shen Qingci looked up in surprise, quickly pulled a thin veil over the water, and immediately rebuked him in a cold voice.

"Who?"

"Don't you even know the rules for my bathing!"

An awkward dry cough came from outside the screen.

"So, Your Highness is taking a bath. I'll go out and wait for you right away."

Chen Changgeng stood behind the screen, the misty water vapor carrying a faint fragrance wafting over.

Through the gaps, you can see petals floating in the pool and half a snow-white lotus root arm.

"stop!"

"Why aren't you staying in the janitor's quarters? Who gave you the right to trespass into my bedchamber!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci clenched his fist tightly.

She recognized Chen Changgeng's voice immediately!

At this moment, Shen Qingci had no idea what he had seen. If he were released, this secret would be exposed...

This could implicate the entire Shen family!

Chen Changgeng gave an awkward smile, but inwardly he was already cursing.

He secretly sneaked into the Crown Princess's palace, intending only to collect a debt and then return.

Who knew I'd stumble upon such a melodramatic scene!

"Your Highness, please calm down. I just wanted to ask you for some money."

"Right now, I've been demoted to the menial office and have no money to bribe officials, so I'm really worried."

There was a moment of silence behind the screen, followed by a soft rustling sound.

A blurry figure stood up from the bathtub, grabbed a few pieces of clothing, and hastily put them on.

Shen Qingci's cold voice rang out again.

"Come in."

Chen Changgeng walked in quickly with his head down, and immediately noticed her long, slender, snow-white legs and her jade-like feet.

Shen Qingci's graceful figure immediately came to mind.

Such temptation made him unable to resist swallowing hard.

Seeing this, Shen Qingci felt much relieved.

He simply opened his mouth slightly and tentatively asked a question without making a sound.

"Why are you looking down?"

"Am I that ugly?"

"Raise your head!"

Chen Changgeng was slightly taken aback, then suddenly looked up.

Since you've put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony!

Clearly, Shen Qingci hadn't expected him to actually look up, especially with that ardent and direct gaze, devoid of any hint of malice.

This startled Shen Qingci, and her face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment!

"You! You audacious lackey! You're so lecherous, you actually dare to raise your head!?"

Shen Qingci had just come out of the bath, and although she had put on several pieces of clothing, the wet clothes were already clinging tightly to her skin.

That exquisite figure, coupled with a few perfectly placed pieces of transparent clothing...

What's the difference between this and being seen naked?

In the Crown Prince's residence, Chen Changgeng was nominally a minor eunuch.

But only Shen Qingci knew that he was actually a normal man!
