Chapter 699: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 59

After the relevant people were imprisoned in the Sky Prison, the surroundings returned to silence. Shen Lang stood where he was. When he thought of Si Wanyi, he felt itchy all over his body, as if countless ants were crawling on him.

Chen Lang: "Ask the kitchen to boil some water. I need to take a bath."

The bucket was filled with hot water, and Shen Lang buried himself under the water. The hot water was changed bucket after bucket, but Shen Lang did not stop.

Shen San, who heard the news, stood outside the screen with a worried look on his face:

"Sir, your wound is still recovering. If you keep soaking it in water, it will become inflamed and infected. I was also wrong about what happened last night. If you are really angry, just punish me and stop torturing yourself."

The more Shen San thought about it, the more resentful he became. He hated himself for not staying last night, giving Si Wanyi the opportunity to take advantage of him.

Shen Lang was buried in the bucket, and the sounds from the outside world were not very clear. He faintly heard Shen San speak, but he had no intention of understanding what he was saying. His mind was full of thoughts about how Changxi would react if she knew about this...

He soaked in the water and became more and more panicked the more he thought about it. Even when he was surrounded by forces from all sides and his life was hanging by a thread, he had never been so panicked.

Shen San talked to himself for a long time, but when he saw that Shen Lang didn't respond at all, he began to panic.

"Sir? Are you alright?"

“………”

Shen San's face turned pale, and the scene of Shen Lang fainting in the bathtub appeared in his mind. He immediately took a step forward and rushed inside.

Chen Lang emerged from the water, his eyebrows and nose dripping with water. "How can you be so reckless?"

Shen San immediately lowered his head: “I know my mistake.”

Chen Lang sat in the tub: "Go ask someone to change the water."

Shen San frowned: “Sir, this is already the sixth bucket of water.”

Chen Lang would not allow any argument: "Change it if I ask you to."

Shen San looked at his pale lips, and felt sorry for him. He mustered up the courage to speak:

“…Sir, I know I can’t persuade you, but Doctor Shen worked so hard to save you. If you ruin yourself like this, wouldn’t it be a waste of her good intentions?”

Shen Lang's dark eyes fell on his face: "Are you threatening me?"

"I dare not, but I cannot let you torture yourself."

After repeated words and threats, Shen Lang finally got up from the bathtub. He changed into a dark blue robe, and as soon as he walked to the bed, his face darkened.

"Someone, throw away the mattress and quilt."

After saying that, he felt it was not enough.

"Throw away the bed too."

His subordinates knew that he was in a bad mood, so they quickly moved the bed out and replaced it with a brand new mahogany bed.

Chen Lang stared at the new bed, the nausea still surging in his heart. Thinking of Si Wanyi's coveting of him, he felt like a poisonous snake was wrapped around him, tightly constricting his limbs, and swirling wetly from head to toe...

Thinking of this, he even felt that the air in the room became foul.

"Change my room."

After explaining the follow-up, Chen Lang went to the study alone, took out a yellowed candle from the drawer, placed it on the candlestick and lit it.

The candlelight flickered, and the pungent smell of burning fat was faintly wafted into the air. Shen Lang's originally irritable expression finally calmed down.

………

It was already strange enough that Shen Lang had not appeared for the entire morning. When lunch time came and Shen Lang still had not appeared, Quan Jiu realized that something was wrong.

She grabbed a random guard and asked, "Where are your masters?"

The guard was bewildered: "I don't know..."

In desperation, Quan Jiu went to find Shen San.

"I checked the bedroom, and there was no one there. Where did he go?"

Shen San’s scalp was numb, the person he least wanted to see now was her.

"My Lord...should be...in the study."

Quan Jiu was very perceptive: "Why are you talking so strangely?"

Shen San wanted to cry but had no tears: "I'm thinking about the task that the adults gave me, and my brain is a little slow."

He didn't dare to say a word about Si Wanyi's affairs. Even if he wanted to talk about it, it was not his turn to speak.

Quan Jiu: "I'll go take a look."

………

study.

Quan Jiu pushed the door open and saw the half-burned candle, she frowned slightly.

"Why light a candle in broad daylight?"

The first time Chen Lang saw her, he tensed up all over. When he saw her trying to reach out to take down the candle, he hurriedly stopped her.

“Don’t touch!”

Quan Jiu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air: "What's wrong?"

Shen Lang avoided her gaze and blew out the candle: "Candlelight is dangerous."

Quan Jiu narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and lowered his arms calmly:

"I'm not a child anymore."

Normally, when Shen Lang heard these words, even if he didn't tease her, there would be a smile in his eyes, but today he looked dazed, and the curve of his mouth was particularly forced.

Thinking of Shen San's reaction, Quan Jiu took the initiative to step forward and put his arms around his neck.

"You should really look in the mirror and see how ugly you look."

Chen Lang's limbs were stiff, and his face was serious: "Changxi, I want to tell you something..."

He spent the whole morning struggling over whether or not he should take the initiative to tell her about Si Wanyi.

All the people in the East Factory were his people, and he blocked the news in time, so the news did not leak out. If he did not tell her actively, she could have been kept in the dark for her whole life.

Chen Lang thought about hiding it from her, not because he didn't dare to admit his mistake or had other intentions, he just didn't want to make her angry. Such a disgusting thing should be left to him alone.

"What's wrong?"

Quan Jiu looked into his eyes.

Shen Lang pursed his lips before telling her what happened last night. There was a barely perceptible uneasiness in his eyes.

"It was my fault that I failed to protect her. It's all my fault. You can be angry, but you can't just walk away."

He knew that she had a strong personality and was afraid that after she found out about this, she would immediately break off relations with him and leave.

"I do feel a little uncomfortable."

Quan Jiu tells the truth.

Shen Lang's face turned pale in an instant.

Quan Jiu: "But it's not directed at you, but at Si Wanyi. I agreed to keep her in the mansion. To be honest, I am also responsible for what happened today."

Shen Lang's heart finally settled down, his rationality returned, and his expression eased slightly:

"I've had her imprisoned in the Sky Prison. She won't have the chance to come out and cause harm again."

Afraid that she would misunderstand what Si Wanyi had done to her, Shen Lang pondered for a moment and added an explanation:

"Si Wanyi is the emperor's servant. She did what she did last night just to gain my trust. I'm just a eunuch. She can't even get enough of me to be disgusted. There's no way she would touch me..."

In order to make her believe that there was nothing wrong between him and Si Wanyi, Chen Lang revealed his wounds in a calm tone.

Ordinary women would not get too close to eunuchs for fear of tarnishing their reputation, let alone Si Wanyi, who has been famous for a long time and prides himself on being noble.

Quan Jiu felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "What's wrong with eunuchs? I just like this."

Shen Lang felt a slight warmth in his heart and pulled her into his arms:

"Just trust me."

Quan Jiu rested his chin on his shoulder: "Where did she touch you?"
