After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

Xiao Guizi's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud. "Your Highness, I had no such intention. It's just that I've never served anyone during a bath before, and I was afraid that my clumsiness would offend you."

Qin Yichen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. "Get up. I want you to serve me today. If you do not perform well, I will teach you."

Xiao Guizi looked helpless and had no choice but to stand up shakily and go to prepare hot water.

Inside the room, Qin Yichen sipped fragrant tea and ate snacks, much like the readers who had gone up to the third floor.

Not long after, a soft knock was heard on the door, after which Qin Yichen gave his permission.

Xiao Guizi lowered his head, held the water bucket tightly in both hands, and carefully pushed open the door and walked in.

He skillfully and quickly poured hot water into the bathtub and neatly arranged all the necessary items. After doing all this,

He tiptoed up to Qin Yichen, bowed slightly, and whispered, "Your Highness, everything is ready. You may take a bath now."

However, even Xiao Guizi himself did not realize that the words he spoke at this moment contained a slight, uncontrollable tremor.

Upon hearing Xiao Guizi's words, Qin Yichen slowly stood up. His tall and slender figure appeared exceptionally upright, and his every move exuded an innate noble temperament.

Then, he walked leisurely towards the bathroom at a relaxed pace.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Guizi's face immediately turned bright red, like a ripe apple. He quickly turned away, as if afraid of seeing something he shouldn't have.

Just then, Qin Yichen suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Xiao Guizi, and said with a slight smile, "Come here and help me change my clothes."

These few words, though brief, seem to possess an irresistible authority.

Xiao Guizi trembled slightly upon hearing the order, but still slowly turned around.

However, his eyes remained fixed, as if frozen in place, and he dared not raise his head to look at Qin Yichen even once.

Qin Yichen stood tall and straight in front of the bathtub. He tilted his head back slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Then he slowly opened his broad arms, like a noble bird waiting to be served.

He frowned slightly, parted his lips, and urged with a hint of impatience, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help me change my clothes. Do you expect me to do it myself?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guizi trembled violently and hurriedly stepped forward, his face plastered with a fawning smile, repeatedly saying, "Your Highness, please calm down, I'll be right there, I'll be right there..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his trembling hands and carefully began to undo Qin Yichen's belt.

But after taking off his long gown, Xiao Guizi couldn't bring himself to do it.

Just then, Qin Yichen suddenly reached out and pinched Xiao Guizi's chin, forcing him to look up and meet his gaze.

"Hmph, she really is a girl."

Qin Yichen sneered.

I had always thought that Xiao Guizi looked too much like a woman, and her demeanor also revealed a girlish manner.

Today's test exposed its flaws.

Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Xiao Guizi tearfully begged for mercy, "Your Highness, please spare me. I had no choice but to disguise myself as a man and sneak into the palace."

Qin Yichen released his hand. "Considering you meant no harm, I will not expose you, but you must serve me well in the future."

Xiao Guizi nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yichen opened his arms again, "Help me change my clothes!"

This time, Xiao Guizi didn't refuse, although his movements were a little awkward and clumsy.

Qin Yichen slowly released his grip on the other person's chin, staring intently at the person before him, and said in a deep voice, "Considering that you have not shown any obvious malice, I will not expose you for the time being."

"However, from this day forward, you must serve me wholeheartedly and without the slightest negligence or disloyalty, or you will bear the consequences!"

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

He was in no hurry to interrogate Xiao Guizi about the reasons for doing so.

Firstly, it was out of consideration for her status. After all, how could someone who could become the adopted son of the Grand Eunuch have such a complex background?

If her purpose in doing this was to gain the tacit approval of the Qin Emperor and for Ye Buqun to carry it out, wouldn't he be potentially drawn into an unforgivable vortex?

Secondly, they knew that even severe torture wouldn't yield any information, so why bother?

In any case, judging from the current situation, Xiao Guizi has no ill intentions towards me.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guizi nodded repeatedly as if he had been granted a pardon, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness. I will serve you wholeheartedly, even unto death!"

As she finished speaking, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.

Qin Yichen turned slightly and opened his arms again, like an eagle about to spread its wings and take flight.

His tall and straight figure, coupled with his magnificent attire, made him appear even more imposing and awe-inspiring.

"Help me change my clothes."

Qin Yichen gave the order in a calm tone.

This time, Xiao Guizi dared not hesitate or refuse in the slightest.

Although her movements were a little awkward and somewhat clumsy, she still carefully stepped forward, reached out her hands and gently unbuttoned Qin Yichen's clothes, taking them off one by one.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Guizi kept his head down and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of accidentally angering Qin Yichen.

Xiao Guizi only breathed a sigh of relief when Qin Yichen stepped into the bathtub and immersed his entire body in the water, but her little face was still flushed, spreading to her ears, making her look extremely cute.

Before her heart could fully settle, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly drifted over: "Come here and scrub my back!"

The voice seemed to possess an irresistible magic, causing Xiao Guizi's body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

This can be considered Qin Yichen's first guess about Xiao Guizi's obedience.

Xiao Guizi bit her pink lower lip tightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage and slowly moved towards the bathtub.

Each step felt so heavy, as if the ground beneath my feet was not smooth, but rather a series of sharp blades.

Having finally reached the bathtub, Xiao Guizi stretched out her slightly trembling hand and gently picked up the soft towel draped over her shoulder.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then carefully dampened the towel and gently placed it on Qin Yichen's broad, sturdy back.

At this moment, Qin Yichen closed his eyes tightly, and his handsome face appeared even more mysterious and charming under the misty water vapor.

He leaned leisurely against the edge of the bathtub, fully enjoying this rare moment of relaxation, exuding a lazy and comfortable aura.

Just then, Qin Yichen seemed to suddenly remember something and casually asked, "By the way, what's your real name?"

This question struck Xiao Guizi like a thunderbolt, instantly making her already tense mood even more flustered.
