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

Chapter 587 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (6)

Shen Shuyi blinked and readily admitted it.

"Because I like you, Your Highness. You're so close to me, it's natural for me to blush."

They were very close, close enough that Li Zhan could clearly see the girl's long eyelashes and her smiling eyes.

He suddenly felt a terrible urge to make her cry.
"Enough with the nonsense, come over here and press my head down."

Shen Shuyi quickly crawled in front of him, then straddled his lap and obediently rubbed the dog man's head.

For several days in a row, Li Zhan woke up late.

Shen Shuyi shouldn't be blamed for this; she only used a sleeping potion on him the first night and never used it again afterwards.

Shen Shuyi quietly opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her who had his eyes closed.

She suspected that the guy did it on purpose.

He deliberately skipped the morning court session.

She still remembered that yesterday, several court officials or Li Zhan's advisors came to his study to discuss matters with him.

"66, those advisors must have come yesterday to invite Li Zhan to court, right?"

[Host, you guessed right! 66 even secretly recorded it. Do you want to know what Li Zhan is up to? Want to take a look?]
Before Shen Shuyi even saw the screen, she guessed, "I suspect Li Zhan wants to teach the Emperor and Empress Dowager a lesson."

Without Li Zhan, the court really couldn't function. Chen Jun had little understanding of politics during the years he was a hostage in Lu, and without any training as a crown prince, he was completely flustered when he suddenly became emperor.

Empress Dowager Liu came from a humble background and had no prior experience with the affairs of the previous dynasty. She also wanted to seize power for her family. When she did things, she only cared about her own interests and had no regard for the lives of the common people.

Li Zhan's refusal to attend court was exactly what they wanted, but it brought even more trouble.

Initially, they hoped that Shen Shuyi would seduce and bewitch Li Zhan, causing him to neglect state affairs. However, they now realize that they are not capable enough, and many things are difficult to handle in the court without Li Zhan.

"Let's see, Li Zhan hasn't woken up yet anyway."

She was bored in the palace. Every day she ate and slept, and slept and ate. She also had to maintain the appearance of not being able to read the Chen script, so she couldn't read many local stories.

Rewind to that day in the Imperial Study, where the head strategist, Xun, with his graying hair, had served by Li Zhan's side when Li Zhan was a general, and he was known for his directness.

He immediately asked, "Your Highness, if you don't attend court soon, the court will be in chaos, and there are several important matters that cannot be decided."

Li Zhan put down the book in his hand. "Half a month ago, I went on an inspection tour and encountered an assassin on my way back. This assassin was most likely the work of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

"I am taking a few days off to warn them."

"I will tell everyone that I have caught a cold. Don't worry, wait for someone to come and invite me to court. Those few matters can be postponed for a few days."

After Li Zhan explained, the advisor was finally relieved and asked, "I have found a lot of evidence of corruption and embezzlement. We can take down the ministers who are loyal to His Majesty in one fell swoop."

Shen Shuyi thought that Li Zhan was a very vengeful person, and it seemed that Chen Junliu had offended him.

Chen Junliu wanted to kill Li Zhan, and Li Zhan also wanted to get rid of this useless emperor.

Feeling a bit stiff in one sleeping position, Shen Shuyi shifted her position, feeling her head pressing against Li Zhan's arm.

Afraid of waking him up again, she quickly rolled down quietly, burying her head in Li Zhan's chest. Li Zhan's arm was above her head, as if he were holding her in his arms.

Just as she closed her eyes to take a nap, a commotion broke out outside.

Uncle Fu's voice came in, neither too loud nor too soft.

"Your Majesty, the Prince has not yet risen."

Chen Junliu bypassed him and went straight into the inner hall, saying, "I heard that my uncle is ill, so I came to see him."

He was the emperor; there was nowhere he couldn't go, especially since he had brought the imperial physician with him, claiming he was there to treat the regent.

The bedchamber was extremely quiet; the bed curtains had not yet been hung up, and it was clear that the person inside had not yet gotten up.

Chen Junliu seemed to want to see clearly how many people were inside the bed curtains. "Uncle, how are you feeling?" Li Zhan was always alert and woke up as soon as Chen Junliu pushed the door open.

Shen Shuyi seemed to have been woken up, and opened her eyes, looking at the man beside her with a hazy gaze.

She snuggled closer to the man, as if she hadn't had enough sleep yet.

"Your Highness, the servants in your household are truly unruly and noisy. They should be dragged out and sold off."

Li Zhan raised his hand and pushed her head away a little, otherwise this little princess would take advantage of the situation and rub against his clothes, pressing herself against his chest.

His voice was hoarse from the early morning when he spoke, "You yourself are still a little maid, yet you're already talking about selling others off. What kind of logic is that?"

"Your Highness~" Shen Shuyi snuggled into his arms, muttering, "Even if I'm a maid, I'm still a maid in your bed."

Chen Junliu, who was outside the bed curtains and didn't dare to get too close, overheard their conversation.

He was so angry that his face turned ashen, and the thought that Shen Shuyi was someone he had sent to Li Zhan's side made him even angrier and more frustrated.

It looks like he'll have to send someone over to give her a warning.

That's outrageous!
On the bed, Li Zhan was suddenly touched in a place she shouldn't have, and he hissed softly, "Behave yourself!"

Chen Junliu outside could no longer contain himself. He raised his voice and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is unwell, so I brought the imperial physician with me. Please have the physician come and take your pulse."

Li Zhan frowned slightly. "Your Majesty, this is the Regent's Palace."

Chen Junliu's face turned pale and then red. "I'm just concerned about you. You haven't attended court for several days."

"I will naturally attend court once I have recovered from my illness. Your Majesty need not worry about me. Your Majesty should focus on state affairs and review the memorials."

Li Zhan placed his hand on the girl's waist and whispered a question in her ear.

"Little maid, who did you just say you were going to sell?"

Shen Shuyi buried her face in his chest sheepishly, "Your Highness, you're teasing me again!"

Chen Junliu looked very annoyed and turned to leave.

Li Zhan only wanted to give Chen Junliu's faction a warning, and a couple of days later he got up refreshed and ready to go to the morning court.

Shen Shuyi nestled in bed, watching him get ready.

Li Zhan looked at the lazy cat on the bed and beckoned, "Come here."

Shen Shuyi slowly got out of bed and came to him barefoot. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Help me fasten my belt."

Shen Shuyi picked up the belt and pressed herself against him, taking the opportunity to hug the man's narrow waist while tying it.

She looked up at Li Zhan and said, "I'm waiting for Your Highness to finish court for dinner."

After saying that, she took advantage of Li Zhan's inattention and stood on her heel to kiss his chin.

Shen Shuyi's ears turned red and she hurriedly burrowed back under the covers, afraid that he would hold her accountable.

Li Zhan paused for a moment, looking at the bulge in the bedding, a strange feeling passing through his heart.

Shen Shuyi took a nap before getting up to eat breakfast.

Looking at the abundant breakfast on the table, she was in a good mood when suddenly the maidservant serving her came over.

She brought two palace maids with her from the State of Lu, one named Cui'er and the other Zhu'er. They were both shadow guards sent by Chen Junliu to monitor and assist her.

Seeing that no one else was around, Zhu'er spoke coldly, "Shen Shuyi, you have overstepped your bounds today. Who gave you the right to disobey His Majesty?"
