Li Yuanche looked at Shen Wangshu with gritted teeth, his eyes seemed to be about to spit fire.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? I just accidentally knocked over the cup." Shen Wangshu lowered his voice, his expression calm as water, without a trace of panic.
Li Yuanche narrowed his eyes and was about to say something, but Lianzhi's voice came again from downstairs.
"My Lady? What happened? I am here."
Listening to Lian Zhi's slightly anxious voice, Shen Wangshu raised his eyebrows and smiled at Li Yuanche, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, are you not going to leave yet?"
"you……"
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Li Yuanche's eyes. Finally, after glaring at her fiercely, he turned around and left the room quickly.
Shen Wangshu watched his back disappearing outside the attic, a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
Then she turned her head and looked downstairs. Lian Zhi was hurried upstairs with a lamp in hand, with a look of deep worry on his face.
"My lady, are you okay?"
As soon as Lianzhi entered the room, he saw the broken teacup on the ground and hurried forward.
"It's nothing. I was just a little thirsty. When I got up to pour some water, I accidentally knocked the quilt over."
Shen Wangshu smiled to cover up his previous strange behavior, and Lian Zhi naturally did not become suspicious.
"Let me see your hand. Is it okay?"
She examined it anxiously, muttering as she did so, "I was so worried, thank goodness you're okay."
Seeing Lianzhi so worried about herself, a warm feeling ran through her heart.
This maidservant had served her all the way, and she had long regarded her as a family member.
She reached out and took her arm, smiling and saying, "I'm fine, aren't I? Okay, go and get some rest. We can have someone come clean this place tomorrow."
"But…"
"It's okay, don't worry, I'll be careful. It's late at night, and I don't want to disturb too many people, understand?"
Lianzhi hesitated for a moment and finally compromised.
"Very well then, I will go down now. But my lady, you must be careful not to get hurt by these debris."
Although he compromised verbally, Lian Zhi was still worried. When he left, he roughly cleaned up the ground before leaving, for fear that Shen Wangshu would be hurt accidentally.
Seeing Lian Zhi also retreat, Shen Wangshu finally relaxed completely.
Thinking back to the scenes just now, she felt very annoyed.
Li Yuanche will definitely not give up if he doesn't get the result he wants.
Even though she refused to admit her relationship with Prince Chen and he couldn't do anything to her, he would definitely use this matter to threaten and harass her in the future.
Therefore, we still need to find a permanent solution.
Maybe it was because they parted on bad terms that night, or maybe it was because he was too busy, but after that night, Li Yuanche stayed quiet for a few days and didn't bother Shen Wangshu for a while.
The emperor, the prince and several ministers who accompanied them were also very busy. The old emperor seemed to be very angry.
I heard that the south was suffering from severe flood disasters, and the relief silver sent was hijacked halfway. This was a huge shame for the court.
So, we have been discussing countermeasures these days.
But for Shen Wangshu, it was better if no one came to her, and she would be more comfortable living alone.
It’s just that I seem to have a loss of appetite recently, feel dizzy and nauseous, and even have a slight fever at night.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better? How about I ask Doctor Chen to come and take a look?"
Lianzhi was worried. She had been guarding Shen Wangshu for the whole day. From morning till now, her mother's face looked very bad.
