The Most Despicable Manly Woman

As soon as Chu Chang Ge let out a cold shout, Dan Tai Huang knew she had been discovered! Adjusting her expression until the smile on her face was no longer obvious but not too despicable either, she stepped out from behind the tree. Walking up to Chu Chang Ge, she spoke, "First Prince of the Chu State, Our Emperor has sent this servant to invite you to the Imperial Study to discuss important secret matters!"

Chu Chang Ge looked at the woman dressed in a maid's uniform. He saw her features were as delicate as a painting, with cherry-colored lips. Her long hair reached her waist, and her slender waist looked like it could be encircled by a single hand. She was truly a stunning beauty! She didn't look like a palace maid at all. Moreover, her lively eyes were darting around, clearly plotting something! Though suspicious, he remained calm and spoke, "Go back and report that this Prince will be out shortly!"

Dan Tai Huang hadn't expected to escape this ordeal so easily; the other party didn't even ask why she was hiding behind a tree eavesdropping. Since she could avoid disaster, she naturally nodded quickly, turned around, and left.

After she had walked a distance, Chu Chang Ge frowned, paused for a moment, then smiled as brightly as spring and gave an order, "Follow her secretly. Don't let her notice!" Everyone in the world knew that he, Chu Chang Ge, was a profligate dandy who never concerned himself with court affairs. Why would Huang Fu Xuan look for him in the middle of the night to discuss secrets? There was definitely something wrong!

The attendant glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, if you think there's something wrong with her, why did you let her go?"

"This Prince has never liked making things difficult for beauties! Why so much nonsense? If I tell you to go, then go!" He immediately fanned himself and sauntered into the bedchamber.

The attendant looked at his back speechlessly. What "never liked making things difficult for beauties"? He had clearly set his heart on pursuing another beauty! If this reached the Chu State and the old ministers found out, they would... Sigh! Anyway, His Highness was already used to being accused!

...

After leaving Chu Chang Ge, Dan Tai Huang calculated that only Jun Jing Lan's bedchamber remained! She hesitated at the entrance for a long time, several times stepping forward but not daring to enter. That monster was very shrewd; she didn't want him to recognize her voice the moment she spoke to his servants!

At the same time, she heard a series of "Awoo woo woo..." crying sounds from inside. Her lips twitched. Was that "Master Xing" still crying?

Despite the persuasion of Xiao Miao and the palace servants, Master Xing only cried louder!

Next, Jun Jing Lan's indifferent voice drifted out, "Have you cried enough?"

"Awoo woo ng..." Not enough!

"You're not young anymore. In a few days, I'll find you a female wolf so you can have a few cubs for me to play with!" Another sentence followed.

"Awoo woo!" Don't want to!

"Or perhaps a female fox?"

"Awoo!" Still don't want to!

"Do you still want to cry?" Jun Jing Lan asked lazily.

"Hic... hic...!" No!

"Stop crying and I'll apply the medicine," Jun Jing Lan said with satisfaction.

Outside, Dan Tai Huang felt her scalp tingle. Although she didn't know why having cubs could make Xiao Xing stop throwing a tantrum, she understood that there truly was no problem in this world that could stump that monster. She had better not go in and look for trouble! After all, the people she had already notified were enough to make Huang Fu Xuan lose face!

Thinking of this, she turned and left.

As she walked a few steps, the man with narrow eyes glanced toward the outer courtyard, the corners of his lips curling into an interested smile.

Seeing this, Xiao Miao asked, "Master, what is it? Is someone outside?"

"Mm! Someone. A beauty!" So she wasn't here to bring him diapers?

...

After finishing her business, Dan Tai Huang returned to her bedchamber for a good night's sleep. For the rest of the night, she was the only one who slept well!

Dan Tai Ji, hearing from his hidden guards that she had gone out to do "good deeds" and had even provoked the Chu Prince—that world-renowned profligate dandy—had a headache for half the night!

Chu Chang Ge's attendant, who was tailing her, was intercepted halfway by men in black. The First Prince of Chu lost track of the beauty and tossed and turned for half the night!

The princes and nobles of various countries were notified by a mysterious maid who passed messages to their servants, causing them to fix their attire and rush toward Huang Fu Xuan's Imperial Study, staying in a standoff for half the night!

Jun Jing Lan leisurely listened to his servants' reports on the matter. Recalling the woman who had stood in his outer courtyard for a while, he understood everything instantly. In a great mood, he took care of Xiao Xing until midnight!

As for Huang Fu Xuan. He had been squatting in the latrine for a long time when a voice suddenly came from the door, "Your Majesty?"

"What is it?" Filled with a stomach full of grievances, Huang Fu Xuan asked. The person outside didn't sound like one of his own!

"Cough... cough cough... Prince Ye sent this subordinate to deliver some toilet paper!" The hidden guard spoke while stifling a laugh. Honestly, this was hilarious! After saying that, he handed the paper in, gritting his teeth hard. If he laughed out loud, the Emperor would surely skin him alive!

Huang Fu Xuan reached out and took it, his face grim as he solved his problem and stepped out.

Seeing Xiao Xuan Zi unconscious on the ground along with the tray, Huang Fu Xuan asked the man in black, "Did Royal Uncle say who did this?" In his memory, he knew Royal Uncle liked to sit on a tree not far from the Imperial Study every night until midnight, regardless of rain or snow; this habit never changed! So it wasn't strange that he could send someone to save him.

As Huang Fu Xuan asked, the image of a certain despicable woman flashed through his mind. Calmly and without wasting words—in this world, the only person who could do such a thing and have such audacity was her!

The man in black coughed and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Prince does not know either! That girl... did not look like someone from Dong Ling!"

"Was that woman very beautiful?" Huang Fu Xuan asked coldly.

The man in black recalled Dan Tai Huang looking up at the Prince, revealing her stunning face, and nodded, "Yes! Very beautiful!"

"Were her actions extremely despicable?" Huang Fu Xuan asked again.

The man in black's lips twitched. Being able to steal toilet paper while someone was in the latrine was enough to prove her despicability, wasn't it? Thinking this, the man in black nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Extremely despicable!"

"Did some of her movements look like a man's?" Huang Fu Xuan followed up.

Thus, the man in black thought of that woman leaning against a tree like a big boss after succeeding, slapping her thigh and laughing hysterically. He nodded again, "Yes! She's clearly a manly woman!" *Hmm, the term 'manly woman' is quite good! How did he think of such an accurate word? He's truly creative!*

While the man in black was feeling self-congratulatory, Huang Fu Xuan had basically confirmed it was Dan Tai Huang's doing again! His golden eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he didn't forget to order, "Today's matter must not be told to outsiders!"

"Yes!" the man in black replied, his expression suddenly becoming pained and hesitant.

Huang Fu Xuan saw his furrowed brows and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Your Majesty... before this subordinate arrived, that woman had already dressed as a maid and notified the princes of various countries to come and watch you..." *So even if I don't tell outsiders, eighty percent of them already know!*

Hearing this, a mouthful of blood surged up Huang Fu Xuan's throat, nearly spraying out!

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health!" The man in black quickly stepped forward to support him.

Huang Fu Xuan steadied himself and ground his teeth, uttering one name: "Dan! Tai! Huang! Just you wait for me!"
