Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 585 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (4)

The next day, before dawn, the steward led his men to the gate of Li Zhan's bedroom.

The palace servants on night watch quickly stopped the person and gently shook their heads.

Uncle Fu beckoned someone over to ask, "Has the Prince not gotten up yet?"

"No, the princess is still inside."

Uncle Fu's eyes widened; this was something he had never seen before.

He knew the prince had trouble sleeping, but the prince never missed a time to get up, especially since he had to attend the morning court session today.

The palace guard tentatively asked, "Shall we go in?"

Uncle Fu shook his head. "Wait a little longer."

The prince has a temper, and he rarely gets a good night's sleep these days, so who dares to disturb him?

The sun was about to rise.

Everyone present became anxious, wondering whether to go in or wait, or they would miss the morning court session if they didn't get up soon.

Uncle Fu had no choice but to have the young eunuch who usually served the prince bring in water.

The room was very quiet, the curtains were still hanging, and only a few figures could be vaguely seen without moving.

Shen Shuyi was already awake when the person pushed the door open and came in; she didn't know if Li Zhan was awake or not.

She opened her eyes and saw herself nestled in Li Zhan's arms, her head resting on his arm.

It must be because the pillow was too high and she wasn't used to sleeping on it, so she ended up sleeping on Li Zhan's arm instead.
Li Zhan was once a great general, tall and slender, making her appear particularly petite nestled in his arms.

Just as she was about to roll off Li Zhan's arm, she suddenly sensed the man's slight movement, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

When Li Zhan opened his eyes, he saw that the little princess was fast asleep, her head resting on his arm, her innocent little face facing him.

He felt his arm go numb, so he raised his still-mobile hand and pinched the little princess's delicate nose.

Shen Shuyi wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but she could hardly breathe. She didn't expect this person to be so childish as to wake her up in this way. Why didn't he just push her away?

She opened her eyes, staring blankly at the man beside her.

"Good morning, Your Highness."

Li Zhan was genuinely amused and said, "Who told you to sleep in my arms?"

Shen Shuyi seemed to only then realize that she was resting her head on the Regent's arm. She hurriedly backed away, almost bumping into the wall behind the bed.

The next moment, she leaned closer, pressing against Li Zhan's chest, looking as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Your Highness, I fell asleep last night, and perhaps because I felt you were warmer, I snuggled up to you."

Li Zhan felt his arm was still numb, and saw that the person in his arms was still restlessly pressed against him, with her little hand even trying to touch his chest.

How audacious.

"Go down."

Shen Shuyi didn't move, and said sweetly, "Your Highness had a headache last night, it's still early, why don't you rest a little longer?"

"I'm not required to attend the morning court session?"

Shen Shuyi gently pressed her palm against his firm and muscular chest, and said with a stiff neck, "Who doesn't know that Your Highness has acquired a beautiful woman? If you go to court early, people will think you're not capable!"

Li Zhan immediately felt the numbness in his arm disappear; it was his head that was numb, otherwise why would he have been talking nonsense to her so early in the morning?

"What does the little princess know about being powerful or not?"

Shen Shuyi gently stepped on Li Zhan's long leg with her small, fair feet. "I know, I looked at a lot of erotic pictures before I came to Lu. None of the men in the pictures are as handsome and strong as Your Highness."

Li Zhan felt the little princess's restless feet moving upwards, which stirred a sense of unease within him.

He had only been injured, and the imperial physician diagnosed him as infertile, but he still had normal sexual function, especially in the early morning.

But the little princess recklessly started a fire.

A pair of jade-like arms wrapped around his neck, and she climbed up on top of him, looking at him with her beautiful, clear eyes as she spoke.

"Your Highness is wise and mighty, you must not let others look down on you."

Even though Li Zhan was not interested in women, he was still shocked by Shen Shuyi's intimacy and wild words.

Not to mention women, even court officials and the emperor dared not say a word to him, for fear of angering him. But this little princess from Lu was petite and charming, yet incredibly bold.

Li Zhan's large hand gripped her slender waist. "At the palace banquet, you said you admired me. Was that true?"

The person in his arms blushed instantly, and all traces of the audacity he had displayed earlier vanished.

Shen Shuyi said nervously, "Of course it's true. The prince is so handsome and powerful, it's not surprising that he likes you."

Li Zhan chuckled and tightened his grip on her waist.

"The little princess only knows that I have immense power, but she doesn't know that I don't care about the royal family. I can control everything and I'm ruthless and cold-blooded, killing people without hesitation."

Everyone feared him, saying he was a demon who had crawled up from hell.

Back then, when thousands of troops marched through the city, he was trapped in a lonely city. Everyone thought he had died on the battlefield, but he fought his way back.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" The man's deep, cold gaze fell on the girl.

Shen Shuyi raised her soft little hand and gently massaged Li Zhan's head.

"I've always thought Your Highness is very capable."

"I like powerful people, I like your immense power."

She discovered that Li Zhan didn't actually resist her closeness.

Everyone else was afraid of him; he was a jinx. But Shen Shuyi didn't care at all. She served him as he should and said sweet words to him as she pleased.

This, in turn, made Li Zhan feel that she was "honest".

The servants waiting outside heard faint voices coming from inside, and Uncle Fu gestured for the eunuch to go in.

The young eunuch pushed the door open again and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, would you like me to help you with your washing and grooming?"

Shen Shuyi was still sitting on Li Zhan's lap, and she continued to massage his head, noticing that Li Zhan's eyes were still closed.

She deliberately said, "Your Highness went to bed late last night and needs to rest for a while."

The young eunuch realized that the morning court session was approaching, and that getting up now was already too late, but if he didn't get up soon, he would miss the session.

"Your Highness, what about the morning court session?"

"Get out," Li Zhan replied with his eyes closed.

The young eunuch wisely left, closing the door behind him.

Outside the door, Uncle Fu stared wide-eyed.

The prince has never been in such a situation before. Everyone says that the prince is a great villain, but no one is more diligent than the prince.

Most importantly, the prince actually slept with a woman.
Uncle Fu quickly told the guards, "Keep a close watch, no one is allowed to go in and disturb the prince's good time!"

It's a good thing that the prince finally has someone who cares about him.

As for missing one or two morning court sessions, it doesn't matter to the prince!
Inside the palace, in the Taiji Hall, Chen Junliu scanned the area below and frowned when he didn't see Li Zhan.

Where is the Regent?

The palace attendant who was reporting hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the Regent has not yet entered the palace."

Chen Junliu's face darkened. "Send someone to check if he's ill."

Soon, the messenger returned, and the people from the Regent's Palace said that the Prince had not yet gotten up and would not participate in the morning court this time.

Li Zhan was arrogant, and the people in the Regent's Palace didn't take the emperor and court officials seriously either.

The court officials whispered among themselves, saying that Li Zhan was obsessed with beautiful women and was incompetent in governing the country.

Chen Junliu should have been happy to see this scene. Shen Shuyi was originally sent by him to Li Zhan's side to seduce him and make him so infatuated with beauty that he never relinquished power in the court.

This will also allow all the officials to see the true face of Regent Li Zhan.

But for some reason, he felt uneasy whenever he thought of Shen Shuyi's face.

Of the three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, none could match her stunning beauty.
