The number one rebel of the Great Wu

"Your Highness! Please don't be angry; anger will harm your health!"

Chen Changgeng pretended to be nervous and reached out to help her.

Shen Qingci was even more agitated now, her face flushed red, and she wished she could strangle Chen Changgeng on the spot!

What a jerk! How dare he harass me like this in broad daylight!

His intentions are despicable!

"Your Highness, I did gain something, actually."

"Today I found a reason to come and see Consort Ling, but Consort Ling happened to be out of her room."

"I used a little trick to find some evidence, and I will present it to Your Highness after I have finished my research."

"I just don't know why, not long after I left, Consort Ling's courtyard caught fire."

"I am truly wronged. It seems that the mastermind not only wants to destroy the evidence, but also attempts to frame me."

"Please, Your Highness, see the truth!"

"Alright, quickly examine that evidence."

"As for the arsonist, I know it wasn't you. After all, someone as shrewd as you wouldn't do something so stupid."

Shen Qingci gave a soft snort.

Although Chen Changgeng's words just now were extremely disrespectful to her, his master.

But from another perspective, it also completely convinced Shen Qingci of his loyalty.

Chen Changgeng is right. Even if we take a step back, he is carrying her child.

Could he betray or deceive himself at this time?

Having seen Shen Qingci off and having already checked the answers, Chen Changgeng felt relieved.

Now everything is ready.

At this moment, if anyone were to report to the Crown Prince or Crown Princess, the arsonist would be Chen Changgeng.

The next second, in Shen Qingci's mind, he would be labeled a villain who "framed Chen Changgeng".

The consequences will definitely be dire!

It took two hours to extinguish the fire.

Once the fire was completely extinguished, the small courtyard where Consort Ling had lived was burned down to just a few frames.

The entire courtyard, including the palace maids and eunuchs, was burned to ashes.

The crown prince was devastated; he had finally found a woman who could bring him pleasure, and now she was gone.

This matter has indeed caused quite a stir, and even the palace has sent people to inquire about it.

Seeing that the Crown Prince was unharmed and that the only person who died was Consort Ling, whom even the Emperor did not acknowledge, the matter was thus swept under the rug.

After all, tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday, so even the biggest matters can only be put aside until after the birthday.

By the time Chen Changgeng returned to the janitor's room, it was already very late.

Pushing open the door, I saw Azi sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.

In front of the bed was a huge wooden tub, steaming hot.

After fighting the fire for so long, Chen Changgeng was covered in soot, and his face was covered in a mixture of sweat and soot, making him look like a mud figure. He was extremely dirty.

What he needs right now is a good wash!

Unexpectedly, Azi had prepared something so thoughtful for me.

It seems that her attitude towards me has changed quite a bit while I was away!

Azi opened her eyes slightly upon hearing the sound.

"Don't misunderstand, my sister asked me to prepare this for you."

"If you feel embarrassed, I'll go outside and wait."

After saying that, Azi stood up.

"Can't you just wipe it for me?"

"You wish! I'm not your slave!"

Azi immediately glared at him with her beautiful eyes, grabbed a towel, and threw it into the bathtub.

As they walked towards each other, just as they brushed past each other, Azi suddenly stopped.

He then suddenly grabbed Chen Changgeng and stared at him with a hostile expression.

"What's wrong again?"

Chen Changgeng looked puzzled.

To everyone's surprise, Azi narrowed her eyes and moved closer and closer until their faces were almost touching.

She took a deep breath, and the next second, her jade-like fingers accurately found the soft flesh on Chen Changgeng's waist and pinched it hard!

"You smell like another woman!"

Chen Changgeng was dumbfounded!

This woman's nose is so unique!

It's true that I didn't have time to take a bath after leaving Consort Ling's place.

But I had spent two hours putting out the fire and sweated so much that I was practically turning into a smoky old man.

There's no way the scent of rouge could still be left!

"You've asked the wrong question!"

Chen Changgeng felt a pang of guilt.

Azi clenched her fists tightly; at that moment, she felt like killing someone.

"It tastes cloyingly sweet and rich; what kind of vixen is this?"

"During the days you were gone, did you visit brothels?"

Chen Changgeng was stunned.

It's true that I went to Mianyue Tower by myself, but I didn't stay for long at all, and there was no intimate contact.

It could only be Consort Ling...

No, you woman, are you born in the Year of the Dog?

"I am going to a brothel, but it's for official business, and I will not do anything reckless."

"If you don't believe me, ask Xiang'er about Miss Yuzhu tomorrow, and you'll understand."

Seeing Chen Changgeng's confidence, Azi pursed her lips, clearly believing him.

He immediately raised his hand and ripped off Chen Changgeng's belt with a "plop".

"Go in!"

"I'll wipe it off for you. I won't allow any other woman's scent on you!"

"Thump!"

Chen Changgeng was viciously pressed down into the bucket by Azi.

"Be gentle, you're going to rub my skin raw!"

"See if you dare do it again!"

"No other women's scent is allowed, does that mean only your scent is allowed?"

"Shut up!"

"Pfft!"

Another splash, followed by gurgling and then a splash.

Ah Zi's voice, filled with near-madness and rage, rang out.

"You actually dragged me into this!"

"I'll strangle you!"

……

I don't know if Azi was deliberately using this to throw a tantrum at Chen Changgeng.

After I made her fuss in the water for a while, she calmed down a lot.

However, taking a bath alone turned into a two-person affair, and inevitably, something happened in the end.

Although Azi was still somewhat reluctant, this matter would help her regain her strength, and even if she disagreed, her younger sister Ayuan would be eager to send her off.

The final result is the same.

She reluctantly accepted it.

That night, Azi slept exceptionally well, as did Chen Changgeng.

The next morning.

A-Yuan woke up early, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and snuggled in Chen Changgeng's arms for a while before getting up to help Chen Changgeng change his clothes.

Today is His Majesty's birthday, and the entire Crown Prince's residence was bustling with activity before dawn.

The Crown Prince prepared congratulatory gifts and sent them out box after box. Shen Qingci also got up early to dress up.

When Chen Changgeng got up, the Crown Prince's entourage was already ready to depart.

"Little Gengzi, why are you so late?"

Crown Prince Xiao Lie was about to get into his sedan chair when he saw Chen Changgeng rushing over in a panic, and he immediately frowned.

Having experienced yesterday's events, Crown Prince Xiao Lie is clearly not very interested in them now.

Chen Changgeng smiled and replied a few words, then moved to the back of the line and followed.

I just hope that Crown Prince Xiao Lie won't cause any more trouble at the birthday banquet.

After all, he had already prepared the birthday wishes for him, and all he had to do was read them aloud.

Surely... something else can go wrong?
