As soon as Shen Yan walked out the door, he heard these words clearly.
"Your Highness." The maids beside him bowed and opened the door.
Lu Wan heard it all clearly, turned around and thought to himself that as expected, if you mention the devil, he will appear. It really is true that you should not talk about people behind their backs.
"Why, you don't want to see me?" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and said deliberately.
Lu Wan thought to himself, what nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to serve a moody tyrant like you? He didn't show it on his face and said with a smile, "Of course not. I don't know what brought you here. Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome."
Shen Yan smiled and saw that she had washed herself clean, revealing her original appearance. She looked very elegant in a white dress.
I have to say that the Lu family bloodline is really good. Both Lu Baixue and Lu Wan are first-rate in appearance.
Shen Yan shook his head, wondering how he could compare these two people.
Thinking of Lu Baixue, he didn't know what to feel in his heart, he just felt that it was not as warm as before.
In fact, he didn't have any romantic feelings for Lu Baixue, but because she looked a bit like his sister, he felt extra pity for her.
As for this Lu Wan, she looked completely unrelated to him, yet she was very likable and made people want to get closer to her.
"What are you looking at, Your Majesty?" Lu Wan asked in confusion when she saw him in a daze.
Shen Yan came back to his senses and said, "Lu Changxin has taken the head of the other general and is on his way back to the capital."
Lu Wan nodded and said, yes, according to the date, he would be back the day after tomorrow.
However, when he came back, Princess Shen was already dead, but now he is still alive and well...
Lu Wan didn't know whether this could be considered a change, but under the current circumstances, Lu Changxin would certainly not break up with Shen Yan. If the two joined forces, they would be even more prominent. He was afraid that the Queen Mother would not let them go so easily.
"You must be careful with the Queen Mother. The journey back to the capital is dangerous. I'm afraid something might happen to him."
Chen Yan nodded and said, "I have sent secret guards to pick him up. I think we will be able to meet up tomorrow. Don't worry."
Lu Wan felt somewhat uneasy, as the development of the situation had gone beyond what he originally knew. History recorded that this queen mother was extremely cruel and extravagant, and there was no telling what she would do.
As he was thinking about it, he saw Shen Yan taking off his coat and lying on the couch.
"You...what are you doing?" Lu Wan asked.
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's late at night. I'm tired after a day, so I naturally need to rest."
Lu Wan was surprised and asked: "Why are you resting here?"
Go find your sister Snow White.
"The entire palace belongs to me. I can rest wherever I want." After saying this, Chen Yan moved further inside and patted the empty seat next to him.
"Princess, please take a rest too."
Lu Wan was stunned. What was wrong with this tyrant?
"Your Highness, go to sleep. I'm not sleepy yet."
Chen Yan turned over and said, "Although there are not many spies in the palace, there are some. It is your duty as the princess to sleep with me. Come up now, I will let you sleep well until dawn. If you don't force me to take action, then you will suffer."
Lu Wan's face turned red and white after listening to this, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that what he said made sense and could not be refuted. If people knew that they did not sleep together, it might arouse suspicion.
So she lay down with a red face.
After covering himself with the quilt, he suddenly felt the heat beside him. He could feel their skin colliding with each other through the thin fabric, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"Ahem." Lu Wan said, "How about I get another quilt."
"How can a husband and wife build it separately?" Shen Yan said without blushing or beating his heart.
In fact, there were quite a few people who slept in separate beds, but Shen Yan just wanted to tease her.
Lu Wan had no experience in this matter and didn't quite understand it. After hearing this, he couldn't refute anything and just moved gently to the outside.
If you move an inch away, the people around you will move an inch closer.
After so many times, Lu Wan could no longer bear it and cursed as he moved away: "You bastard, did you do this on purpose?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly lost her balance. It turned out that she had just reached the edge of the bed. Just when she was about to fall off the bed, a hand grabbed her tightly and held her in its arms.
Lu Wan's face was pressed against Shen Yan's chest, and a muffled voice came from above.
"I told you not to move around, but you don't remember it, do you?"
The two warm bodies leaned against each other tightly, and their thoughts were extremely chaotic. Lu Wan heard Shen Yan's gradually accelerating heartbeat and remained silent.
Shen Yan really wanted to know what she was thinking at the moment, but no matter how hard he listened, he couldn't hear anything.
After a while, Lu Wan pushed Shen Yan away with a red face.
"Sleep...sleep."
Shen Yan frowned as he looked at Lu Wan, who turned over and lay down with his back to him, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he turned over and fell asleep, and remained silent all night.
The next day.
When they got up and washed, they looked much more haggard than yesterday, as if they had not slept well.
Lu Wan stared at Chen Yan, wondering why they had to sleep together, making everyone unable to sleep well. Now she was satisfied.
Shen Yan glanced at him and said, "I will come again tonight."
Lu Wan was choked and turned away angrily.
Another guard came in from outside and whispered something to Shen Yan, who nodded and asked him to leave.
"The secret guards have met up with your elder brother. Your elder brother... has been injured."
Hearing this, Lu Wan turned around, frowned, and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
"It's nothing serious." Shen Yan walked over to sit beside him, "Now that the secret guards have arrived, no one can hurt him anymore."
Lu Wan stood up and said, "I hope so. I always feel that things are not going so smoothly."
Inside the palace.
The empress dowager looked through the memorials submitted by the ministers, revised a few words, then threw them aside and rubbed her brows.
Shuncai saw this and hurried forward to pour tea, and said, "Queen Mother, people are waiting outside."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Let her in."
Shuncai went out and led a palace maid into the hall. The palace maid knelt down and said, "You see the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said, "No need to be polite. Just tell me what you found out."
"Your Majesty, the princess next to Prince Shen is a little weird."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother finally raised her eyes to look at her, "What's strange?"
The maid lowered her head and said, "Through my investigation, I found that before Princess Shen got married, she went to a poetry party to play. At that time, she was accompanied by Miss Sun Xinran from Sun Wenxu's family. Although the two had never met, the maid who had served Miss Sun before accidentally bumped into Princess Shen. According to her, Princess Shen's previous stature was completely different from the one at the banquet."
"Really?" The Queen Mother looked serious.
The palace maid hurriedly said, "I confirmed it again and again, and sent someone to investigate, and found that it was true. At that time, Princess Shen was very angry and punished her. According to her, the Princess Shen she met before was about the same height as her, but at the palace banquet she was only slightly shorter than her father, which was really strange."
