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

Chapter 602 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (21)

Seeing her like this, Li Zhan felt heartbroken. He comforted the person on the bed whose eyes were slightly closed and whose eyelashes trembled.

"The imperial physician said your fever has subsided, but you're feeling down. Shuyi, are you unhappy? Don't you like staying in the palace? I'll take you back to the palace tomorrow."

"I've noticed you haven't been eating much these past few days."

Shen Shuyi didn't speak, but lowered her eyes, her beautiful eyes instantly losing their luster, looking lonely and helpless.

Li Zhan pulled the person into his arms, "Have you suffered any injustice?"

"Shuyi, you can tell me."

Shen Shuyi pressed against his chest and lowered her head slightly, "No, you're so powerful, who would dare to wrong me?"

Li Zhan grabbed her arms with both hands and pulled her up in front of him.

"Shuyi, look me in the eye and say it again."

When he looked at Shang Shuyi, he saw that her eyes were already red, her bright eyes were full of grievance, yet she stubbornly held back her tears.

"Everyone says I'm a maid in the royal palace, that a princess shouldn't be ashamed to serve someone like that, that I have no status or title, and that I should just jump into the river and commit suicide."

As she spoke, her body trembled slightly and her voice was choked with sobs.

Li Zhan's breath hitched, and he exuded a violent aura.

He pulled her into a tight embrace. "Shuyi, I never treated you like a maid."

"But... it's not a good situation for me to stay in the Prince's mansion without any official status, Your Highness. How about I move out?"

Li Zhan held her tightly with one arm and pressed her head against his chest with the other, soothingly whispering in her hair, "Shuyi, don't go anywhere."

"Right beside me."

It turns out she had suffered so much injustice; those rumors and gossip had made her depressed.

I used to think she was happy every day because she ate well and slept well, but I never imagined she was so wronged inside.

And all of this is thanks to him.

It's all his fault.

Li Zhan gently stroked her head, "Shuyi, do you like me?"

Shen Shuyi raised her head, her wet eyes looking at him.

Her ears turned red, and she lowered her head, her voice barely audible, "A little, I suppose. What about you?"

Li Zhan held her in his arms and kissed her cheek.

"Of course I like you, otherwise why would I sleep in the same bed with you every day?"

When he looked at Shen Shuyi, his eyes held tenderness, passion, and a strong possessiveness.

Shen Shuyi snuggled closer to him, then looked up at him with clear eyes.

"But...but I don't dare to like the prince anymore, after all, my status is too awkward."

"Your Highness, I've decided I still want it."

"Well"

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zhan silenced her with a kiss.

Li Zhan kissed her, holding her fingers tightly. The man opened his eyes, his eyes filled with wildness, like a wild beast poised to pounce, ready to devour its prey at any moment.

Shen Shuyi was breathless from his kisses, "Ugh, what do you mean by this?!"

"I will marry you."

She was taken aback by Li Zhan's unexpected words. "What?"

Li Zhan looked into her beautiful, misty eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "My little princess, I want to marry you and make you my queen."

"To be Li Zhan's only wife."

Shen Shuyi's heart raced, her eyes flashing with surprise and then with trepidation. Finally, she asked the question she had been struggling with for so long.

"If I weren't a princess, would you still marry me and make me your queen?" "As long as it's you, that's fine. Shuyi, I love you as a person, not your status." Li Zhan confessed, gently stroking Shen Shuyi's long hair.

Shen Shuyi wrapped her arms around his neck, raised her head, and pressed her lips to his thin lips.

Li Zhan lingered, his heart pounding, and they kissed for a long time before finally separating.

"I want to marry you as my queen and protect you for the rest of my life, but if you stay with me, we will never have any children."

"Just staying by your side is enough." Yeah, right.

However, her sweet words did make Li Zhan smile broadly.

The man cupped her face in his hands and showered her with tender kisses.

Shen Shuyi parted her lips slightly, hugged his neck tightly in response, and felt the temperature on his thighs getting higher and higher.
The man had large hands, and when he exerted force, the veins in his arms would bulge out, making him look very powerful.

Shen Shuyi's kiss moved downwards, gently touching his Adam's apple.

Li Zhan's Adam's apple bobbed, his heart trembled, and he was completely thrown into chaos.

He pressed down on the back of Shuyi's head, and kissed her again, drawing the person in his arms into a state of surrender.

Li Zhan straightened up, took off his clothes while looking into her eyes, and suddenly leaned in close.
"Hmm!" Shen Shuyi didn't expect him to be so direct.

Upon hearing the shouts, Li Zhan immediately felt guilty.
Shen Shuyi sat up using his arms and pushed against his chest with her hands, saying, "You're not allowed to move!"

She braced herself against Li Zhan's chest.
Li Zhan's body tensed, his hands gripping her waist, wanting to help her, yet also wanting to look at her.
The woman's long hair was loose, swaying with her movements, and a few strands even obscured her flushed face.

But it couldn't stop what was in front of it.
Li Zhan's warm palms grasped and felt the slender waist.

He thought the little princess was too wild.

At the same time, he was going crazy.

Just as she stood up, Li Zhan grabbed her waist and flipped her over.

The next moment, a violent storm broke out.
Shen Shuyi had long since lost her energy and could only drift along with him.
……

……

Shen Shuyi lay limply on the bed, all her pent-up emotions gone. All she wanted now was a good night's sleep, a hearty meal, and to kick the man next to her off the bed.

Li Zhan held her, pressed his forehead against hers to catch his breath, then happily kissed her red lips, looked at her tenderly, and then...
……

Upon returning to the Regent's Palace in the Imperial City, Li Zhan instructed his steward, Uncle Fu, to hand over the reins of the household to Shu Yi, formally announcing his intention to marry her as his princess.

The Regent's Palace was making grand preparations for the wedding, and the news spread throughout the capital.

Many people find it hard to believe that the powerful regent Li Zhan would marry a princess from another ethnic group, especially since when Princess Xuanhua was sent to marry him, he had boasted that he would have a princess from another country as his maid.

It hasn't been that long, and this is already a slap in the face.

The Regent's wedding was a grand affair. Even before the wedding date, he planted wintersweet trees, which Princess Xuanhua loved, throughout the city. By the time the wedding took place in winter, the wintersweet trees had already bloomed.

Inside the palace, in the Golden Hall, Chen Junliu had just finished processing the memorials when his trusted ministers arrived.

The leading minister shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, the Regent's marriage is too much of a fuss; it's simply a waste of resources and manpower."

"What happened?" Chen Junliu asked in confusion. Recently, after finishing his work in the court, he was also caught up in the intrigues of the harem. Consort Wan suffered a massive hemorrhage during childbirth, resulting in the death of both her and her unborn child. Noble Lady Qi accidentally fell from the artificial hill into the pond and drowned. All of these incidents had saddened him for quite some time.

The court officials presented the memorial impeaching Li Zhan. Chen Junliu glanced at it, and the more he read, the uglier his expression became.

The Regent's wedding was even more extravagant than his coronation ceremony!

Isn't this a slap in the face to the royal family?

Chen Junliu gripped the memorial tightly. Such a wasteful person was unworthy of being a subject. He had to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible!

In his opinion, Shen Shuyi was probably going to betray them, otherwise why would she have taken so long to complete the mission?

He needs to kill Li Zhan in one fell swoop, and the autumn hunt next month will be a good opportunity.
