Zuan was completely dumbfounded. He actually thought about it carefully, and frogs really don't hop around wearing pants. What a logical genius!

He followed the sound and noticed a fat man pointing at several eunuchs and scolding them by the pool in front of him. The eunuchs were all lying on the ground, like Ouyang Feng practicing his toad kung fu.

However, judging from their worried expressions, they were clearly forced into this situation.

The fat man had a round face, and his eyebrows revealed a hint of not being very smart.

"Who in the inner palace is so arrogant?" Seeing him scolding the eunuchs like he was scolding his grandsons, the eunuchs could only kowtow and beg for mercy, and none of them dared to resist.

After carefully examining the fat man's clothes, I noticed they were apricot-yellow with faint dragon patterns on them.

Could it be the emperor?

Zuan immediately rejected this guess. If the strongest person in the world looked like a mentally challenged child, then everyone else might as well buy a block of tofu and smash their head against it.

A thought struck him as he recalled the rumors he had heard about the Crown Prince. A man who could freely enter and leave the harem, wearing a yellow robe that resembled a dragon's robe, made his identity self-evident.

On the way, Chu Chuyan mentioned to him that the Crown Prince's name was Zhao Ruizhi. Zu An thought to himself, "How could he not be mentally challenged if his parents gave him such a name?"

"Hey, you little eunuch over there, come here quickly." Just then, the Crown Prince saw Zu An and waved to him.

Zuan was speechless. "How do I look like a eunuch when I'm so tall and strong?"

But since we have nothing else to do now, it wouldn't hurt to take the opportunity to learn more about this crown prince.

So he walked straight over.

The other eunuchs stared at him intently: "How dare you! Who are you to trespass into the inner palace?"

The prince did not recognize the other party, but they knew very well that the person in front of them could not possibly be a eunuch, could he be an assassin?

However, with so many skilled warriors in the palace and such tight security, how could an assassin possibly get in?

They were worried that the other party was the son of a minister who had been summoned to the palace, so they dared not directly call him an assassin.

Just as Zu'an was about to explain, the fat man retorted, "Shut up! Which frog can talk?"

The eunuchs looked distressed and quickly shut their mouths tightly.

The fat man continued, "Where are the pants? The frog isn't wearing any pants; it's taken them all off."

Zuan added, "Not only were the frogs not wearing pants, they weren't even wearing clothes."

The fat man was overjoyed, feeling as if he had found a kindred spirit: "You're right, how come I didn't think of that? Little Xu, Little He, take off all your clothes."

The eunuchs glared resentfully at Zu An. This kid is really good at kicking someone when they're down. If I ever get a chance, I'll make sure he gets what's coming to him.

Anger level from eunuch Xu Kun +444!

Anger from the eunuch He Te increased by 444!

From...

But they couldn't disobey their master's orders. They knew their master was capricious, or rather, to be precise, he had no concept of good or evil.

There was a companion who had not offended the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince, on a whim, ordered his guards to drag him away and beat him half to death. In his view, this was not evil; he just wanted to test whether a stick or a human bone was harder, purely for fun.

Of course, overall the Crown Prince treated them fairly well, but they had to go along with his strange way of thinking. Anyone who didn't have the sense to read the room or didn't go along with him was basically long gone.

Seeing several eunuchs awkwardly starting to undress, Zu An was speechless. The sight of eunuchs undressing was truly an eyesore; it would have been better if they were palace maids.

Strangely enough, the prince was surrounded by eunuchs, and there wasn't a single palace maid among them.

As he looked around, he casually asked, "Why are you making them jump like frogs?"

The fat man pointed to the frogs in the lotus pond next to him: "Oh, I just passed by here and heard a chorus of frogs croaking. I asked them if these frogs were croaking on their own, or if they made them croak to flatter me."

Zuan blinked, and it took him a while to figure out the difference between "them" and "them" in his mouth. He was amazed; this guy's thought process was truly unique.

He followed up by asking, "So what was their answer?"

The fat man pointed to one of the thin eunuchs and said, "Little Xu said that these frogs will start croaking when they hatch in the spring."

Zu An thought his answer was correct, but then the fat man continued, "This is outrageous! When they saw me coming, the frogs' croaking wasn't to greet me. So I punished Xiao Xu by making him imitate frog croaking to greet me, but he just couldn't imitate it. So I made him hop like a frog."

Zuan: "..."

He swallowed hard, then looked at the others and asked, "What about them?"

The fat man replied, "Oh, I asked Xiao Hezi later, and he said that of course they sent the frogs to flatter me."

Zu An thought to himself that since Xiao Xu had already tried a wrong answer, it would be foolish for the others not to change their answers: "Then why were they also punished by you?"

The fat man replied angrily, "I was initially quite pleased, but then I wanted to hear more of the frogs' flattery, and they couldn't get the frogs to croak anymore. Isn't that just lying to me?"

Zuan: "..."

The commotion you all are making here has startled the frogs, causing them to run away and stop croaking.

He glanced at the eunuchs with pity. They were truly pitiful to have such a master; no matter what they answered, they were always wrong.

The eunuchs seemed to understand what he meant, and they nodded in deep agreement, thinking that finally someone could understand their suffering.
