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

Chapter 607 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (26)

Chen Junliu was struck dumb, and went into a state of madness.

His face darkened. "This is the State of Chen. My surname is Chen, while yours is Li. What right do you have to usurp the throne?!"

Li Zhan snorted and stared at him intently, "Once I sit on the dragon throne, changing dynasties will not be difficult."

Chen Junliu's eyes were filled with panic. Was he really powerless to turn the tide?
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he laughed maniacally.

"Oh, right, and Shen Shuyi too!"

"Li Zhan, you're quite capable; you actually managed to turn her against you."

"You two were planning to get married, but I'm afraid she won't be your bride, hahaha."

Chen Junliu laughed maniacally.

Li Zhan frowned slightly, a blood-stained longsword resting against his neck. "Explain things clearly."

"Otherwise, I will grind you to dust."

"Hahaha—you want to kill me?" Chen Junliu roared.

"You don't want to save Shen Shuyi anymore?!"

He staggered to his feet and looked at Li Zhan, "With your abilities, you probably already know that Shen Shuyi is an assassin in my secret guard camp. You also know the methods of controlling assassins. If you kill me, then no one can cure the poison she has been poisoned!"

"Only I have the antidote!"

Li Zhan kicked him to the ground, pressed his long sword into his neck, and blood immediately flowed down.

"Hand over the antidote."

"Li Zhan, as long as you lead your troops away to guard the border, I will hand over the antidote so that you can be reunited."

"Hmph." Li Zhan snorted lightly, "Foolish."

"Men, tie him up and torture him to extract a confession."

Which member of the pampered royal family could withstand torture?

Chen Junliu's breath hitched, and he burst into a tirade, "Li Zhan, you'll die a horrible death!"

"To be recorded in history, to be infamous for eternity!"

Li Zhan sheathed his longsword. "How history is written will be decided after I become emperor."

Chen Junliu was utterly dejected. Li Zhan was extremely arrogant and didn't care about what others said at all. If he had known this would happen, he would have been better off not returning to the country!

After being tortured, Chen Junliu handed over the antidote in less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Zhan returned to the Regent's Palace as quickly as possible. He felt that the entire palace was quieter than ever before, so quiet that it frightened him.

His face was somber, and he was filled with regret for having been cold to her these past few days and for spending every night in the study.

He should hold her while she sleeps, even if she is an assassin or a killer!

"Squeak-"

When the door opened, Li Zhan felt inexplicably unsettled until he saw the person lying peacefully on the bed, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shuyi." Li Zhan walked over quickly, wanting to pull the person on the bed into his arms, but when he turned her over, he saw that there was blood at the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, and she was curled up.

"Medicine, antidote, take it quickly." Li Zhan felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he held the person in his arms.

Shen Shuyi looked at the man in front of her with a blank expression. "Li Zhan, you're back."

"Don't talk yet, take your medicine." Li Zhan put the medicine bottle to her lips.

Shen Shuyi drank the medicine as instructed, saying, "It's so bitter."

"I'll go get you some candy." Li Zhan rummaged through the cabinet and found the candy jar. Luckily, he knew that Shu Yi loved candy, so he usually had someone buy a lot of candied fruit to keep on hand.

Li Zhan fed her the candied fruit, then pulled her into his arms. Looking at her pale face, his heart ached.

That damned Chen Junliu!

The girl in his arms didn't say a word, her eyes closed as if she didn't want to talk to him.

Li Zhan took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead. Shen Shuyi pushed him away, "I'm fine, you can go now."

"Shuyi, are you still blaming me?" Li Zhan, who was always arrogant, lowered his head at this moment.

He held her tightly, afraid to let go, lest she disappear if he did.

"I'm just an assassin, what right do I have to blame you?" Shen Shuyi took the antidote and felt much better.

Li Zhan felt a pang of heartache upon hearing her words and hugged her even tighter.

“Your Highness, you smell of blood. I don’t like it.” Shen Shuyi lowered her eyes. “The smell of blood reminds me of the days when I lived on the edge of a knife.”

Li Zhan realized he had returned too hastily, still wearing his armor, which was stained with blood.

"Okay, Shuyi, wait for me a moment."

Li Zhan quickly took a shower and came back. He changed into clean clothes and went to the bedside to hug the person.

Shen Shuyi ignored him, but then she saw him sitting on the bed, letting her head rest on his lap, and gently stroking her long hair.

"Shuyi, I'm going to be the emperor. Will you be my empress?"

Shen Shuyi did not respond; he muttered to himself.

"Once the political situation stabilizes, I'll take you away from the capital to travel. Don't you always complain about not being able to leave the palace?"

"Don't worry, even if you become empress, you can leave the palace at any time, as long as... as long as you come back."

“Come back to me, Shuyi.”

Even with her eyes closed, Shen Shuyi could imagine the expression on Li Zhan's face as he spoke each word.

Moreover, System 66 just gave a notification.

[Congratulations, host! Li Zhan's favorability towards you has reached 100%! You only need to have a child with him to perfectly complete the mission!]
Shen Shuyi said, "No rush. He used to call me 'little maid' and was so fierce to me. I have to get my revenge."

Don't spoil men too much; if they need to be tough, don't hold back.

Moreover, she's the kind of person who holds grudges and seeks revenge; getting back at her would be easy.

She can't just say that he's just being stubborn and soft-hearted, and that he loves her, and then she'll accept the man's past misdeeds.

When Li Zhan saw her fall into a deep sleep, he was so frightened that his whole body tensed up, and a wave of panic surged up inside him.

Could there be something wrong with the antidote left by Chen Jun?!
But he had already tested the poison on the two imprisoned maids, and only gave it to Shuyi after confirming it was safe.

"Somebody come!"

"Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Li Zhan held her tightly, his hands trembling.

If, by any chance, something really happens to Shuyi, what's the point of him living?

He held her limp body tightly, looking at her pale face, "Shuyi, you can't be hurt!"

Shen Shuyi fell into a coma, but she was still conscious and could see everything around her even with her eyes closed.

Who told her to have a system that loves gossip?

The 66-degree light screen was projecting onto Li Zhan, and she could see his nervousness and how tightly he was holding her hand.

The imperial physician said the poison had been neutralized, but the coma was related to emotional imbalance; the body's Qi was not flowing smoothly, leading to an emotional breakdown and coma.

It is necessary to soothe the liver and relieve depression, harmonize the heart and spleen, and replenish qi and blood to restore the balance of body and mind. In short, it is necessary to resolve the knot in one's heart.

Li Zhan felt increasingly guilty as he listened, realizing it was all his fault for not trusting her, which had led to her depression.

Shen Shuyi thought this imperial physician was quite capable. Everyone said she was depressed and in a coma, so could she take this opportunity to cause some trouble?

Having overheard his host's thoughts, 66 couldn't help but speak up: "Dear host, even if you wanted to be emperor, Li Zhan would probably flatter you with open arms."

"Being an emperor is too hard, I'm not going to do it."
