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

Chapter 596 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (15)

Shen Shuyi closed her eyes and unconsciously placed her hands on Li Zhan's neck, her warm breath carrying a sweet fragrance as it sprayed onto his neck.

Li Zhan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He scooped her up and lifted her to the ground. Looking at her adorable little face, his voice was low and husky, "Little princess?"

"Hmm?" Shen Shuyi opened her eyes and looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

Li Zhan looked into her alluring eyes and smiled, "You're really brave."

Shen Shuyi raised her hand to hug his neck, pulled him down, and rubbed her cheek against his cheek.

"That was all because of your indulgence, Your Highness."

After saying that, she quickly kissed Li Zhan's lips.

Li Zhan held her and rolled around on the bed kissing her. He accidentally pulled on the bed curtains, which fell down and blocked the candlelight in the room.

"Ouch, you bit me!" Shen Shuyi pushed him away.

Li Zhan chuckled softly, his hot, firm chest trembling slightly as he pressed himself against her, refusing to let go.

He felt that kissing the little girl in his arms was like finding a spring in the desert, which relieved his restlessness.

The man lowered his head and greedily sucked...
Shen Shuyi's black hair was spread out on the bed, and the gauze dress that Li Zhan had put on her earlier had long since come undone, revealing a light pink bodice.
Her feet, trapped under her skirt, were pinned down by Li Zhan, rendering her unable to move. She collapsed limply into the man's arms.

"My lord."

"Call me Jingzhan." Li Zhan cupped her face in his hands, his tall figure like dark clouds shrouding the bright moon.

A sweet fragrance filled the tent, and the girl's sweet murmurs, along with the delicate scent of plum blossoms, sprayed onto Li Zhan's neck. She nuzzled him affectionately, as if she were calling his name in a coquettish tone.

"Li Jingzhan, why aren't you kissing me?"

"You'll regret this." Li Zhan's deep gaze was captivating, and he showered her with delicate kisses.

……

……

The man's fair skin blended with a honey-colored hue, his exquisitely sculpted muscles bulging with exertion; the clash of softness and strength caused the canopy bed to sway violently.

Shen Shuyi felt like the bed was about to break, and she hurriedly called out to him in a hoarse voice, "Jingzhan, the bed, the bed."

Li Zhan looked at her beautiful face, his gaze falling on the red mark on her collarbone, and his heart beat faster and faster.

"Little princess, you still care about going to bed at a time like this."

Li Zhan admitted that this was the first time he had lost control, and he was even enjoying it.

In the middle of the night, Shen Shuyi reminded him helplessly, "Your Highness, you have to attend court tomorrow morning."

Li Zhan chuckled and kissed her cheek. "You can sleep all day tomorrow."

"You!." This bastard has gone mad.

……

The next morning.

Li Zhan, who hadn't slept all night, woke up with a handsome face that showed no signs of fatigue or tiredness, but rather radiant with energy.

Shen Shuyi felt as if she had been drained of her life force by a demon, and she lay limp on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

Li Zhan dressed in his court robes, came to the bedside, raised his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind the girl's ear, and then lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"After court, I will return to be with you."

After he left, Shen Shuyi slowly opened her eyes, then turned over and comfortably hugged the quilt.

System 66, which had been offline for a long time, was also brought back online at this time.

[Congratulations, host! Mission completion rate has reached 50%! We have some multi-birth pills here that can break bones!]
Shen Shuyi shook her head, "I won't eat yet."

This isn't the first time; even the Regent is quite adept at developing a taste for something new.

Shen Shuyi was right; Li Zhan, who was attending the morning court session, was indeed somewhat distracted.

His mind flashed between the image of the little princess's rosy lips as she drank wine, and the image of her slender, soft waist beneath his palm. Even more unsettling was the image of the girl in the tent beneath him.
In the past, after the morning court session, he would go to the Golden Palace to teach the emperor how to handle government affairs. Now he thought, why waste time on such an ungrateful person? So he simply rushed to the Prince's Mansion as soon as the morning court session was over.

Despite the opposition of the emperor and several court officials, Li Zhan insisted on sending troops to the Qiang Kingdom, ignoring all attempts to persuade him to surrender.

The emperor was furious that a large army had already been assembled and set out to attack the Qiang Kingdom. He was so angry that his face turned ashen. Li Zhan did not say anything at the morning court session, and then left the court on his own. The emperor could no longer contain himself and summoned the court officials who supported him to the Golden Palace for a meeting.

Having felt so stifled for so long, Chen Junliu could no longer hold back and voiced his grievances:

"The Regent is too arrogant."

"How can matters of national importance be treated so lightly!"

A trusted minister chimed in, “Your Majesty is right. The Regent is indeed becoming increasingly lawless.”

"Where does he leave the people after taking the initiative to start a war? What if we go to war with the Qiang Kingdom and are defeated?"

"With his reckless and arbitrary actions, the world will sooner or later descend into chaos, and the common people will suffer."

After venting his frustrations, Chen Junliu dismissed the court officials and returned to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to his mother.

Empress Dowager Liu was in a bad mood, pinching her brow as she asked Chen Jun to sit down.

"Your Majesty, please sit down and say a few words to the Empress Dowager."

Chen Junliu looked apologetic. "Mother, I was incompetent in dealing with Sister Changqing."

When the Chen army invaded the Qiang Kingdom, the first person to die was undoubtedly Princess Changqing, who was sent to marry a foreign ruler.

"This is not your fault." Empress Dowager Liu lamented her daughter's death, but what concerned her most was the Regent's overwhelming power.

Now the army is under Li Zhan's command. If Li Zhan were to rebel, would the mother and son still have a chance to survive?

Empress Dowager Liu thought of the secret guard who had substituted for her in the marriage, "Did Princess Xuanhua, whom we placed in the Regent's Palace, succeed?"

Chen Jun came to his senses. Since Shen Shuyi entered the Regent's Palace, she hadn't sent anyone to deliver messages to him. He could only contact her two maids on weekdays.

Every now and then, the maid would send a message to the palace, saying that Shen Shuyi was very much favored by Li Zhan.

In other words, Li Zhan has been poisoned with a slow-acting poison.
"Don't worry, Mother, this bodyguard is very loyal."

"Hmph." Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were icy. "Emperor, you should also give her a warning. If it weren't for her, would Changqing have been implicated and sent away for a political marriage?"

"Yes." Chen Junliu nodded slightly.

Empress Dowager Liu was still not satisfied. "Keeping such a vixen around is only a disaster. Once she has completed her mission, kill her."

If such a vixen were to enter the harem, there would be chaos and unrest.

This time, Chen Junliu did not nod, but said, "Mother, I will make arrangements. I will find a way to meet with her next month when I go to Jiucheng Palace for summer retreat and give her my personal instructions."

He already knew Shen Shuyi's thoughts; she would be willing to go to hell for him.

……

When Li Zhan returned to the mansion, Shen Shuyi had just woken up. She felt sore all over, as if her body was falling apart, and she didn't want to get out of bed at all.

She squinted as she turned to the side and saw Li Zhan walking towards her step by step. The man sat down on the edge of the bed and gently pinched her cheek. "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry?" Shen Shuyi frowned. "I don't have the strength to get up. It's all your fault."

Li Zhan helped her up, then held her in his arms. "Shall I have someone bring in some food?"

"No."

"Then I'll carry you out to eat."

"All right."

Shen Shuyi quickly washed up and went to the dining hall. She saw that there was still wine on the table, but she dared not touch a drop.

Li Zhan picked up a piece of crispy fish and put it in her bowl, saying, "Eat more, you don't have much meat on you."

Shen Shuyi blushed and glared at him, "You're disgusted that I touched you last night!"

Li Zhan took a sip of wine and chuckled, "I'm still quite energetic."

"Your Highness, I'm still in pain." Shen Shuyi ignored him and slowly savored the fish in her bowl.

After finishing his meal, Li Zhan wiped his mouth and said casually, "I'll apply the medicine for you during your afternoon nap."
