The next day, before dawn, the butler brought people to the door of Li Zhan's bedroom.
The palace guard on night watch quickly stopped the man and shook his head slightly.
Uncle Fu waved someone over to ask, "Is the prince still awake?"
"No, the princess is still inside."
Uncle Fu widened his eyes. This was something he had never seen before.
He knew that the prince had trouble sleeping, but the prince never missed the time to get up, not to mention that he had to attend the morning court today.
The night watchman asked tentatively, "Do you want to go in?"
Uncle Fu shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."
The prince has a bad temper and it is rare for him to get a good night's sleep in recent years. Who dares to disturb him?
The sun is about to come out.
Everyone present became nervous. Should they go in or wait? If they didn't get up now, they would miss the morning court.
Uncle Fu had no choice but to ask the eunuch who usually served the prince to bring in water.
The room was very quiet, the curtains were still hanging, and only vague figures could be seen standing still.
Chen Shuyi was already awake when someone pushed the door open. She didn't know whether Li Zhan was awake or not.
When she opened her eyes, she saw herself nestled in Li Zhan's arms, her head resting on his arm.
It must be because... the pillow was too high and she wasn't used to sleeping on it, so she ended up sleeping on Li Zhan's arm...
Li Zhan was once a great general with a slender figure. She looked particularly petite when nestled in a man's arms.
She was just about to roll off Li Zhan's arms when she suddenly felt the man move slightly. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
When Li Zhan opened his eyes, he saw the little princess sleeping soundly with her head resting on his arm, her innocent little face facing him.
He felt his arm go numb, and raised his still-movable hand to pinch the little princess's nose.
Chen Shuyi wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but she could hardly breathe. She didn't expect this man to be so childish as to use this method to wake her up. Wouldn't it be better to just push her away?
She opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her blankly.
"Um...Good morning, Your Majesty."
Li Zhan was so angry that he laughed, "Who told you to sleep in my arms?"
Chen Shuyi seemed to have just realized that she was resting her head on the Regent's arm. She hurriedly stepped back and almost bumped into the wall behind the bed.
The next moment, she leaned over again, pressed against Li Zhan's chest, looking like she had not woken up yet.
"Your Majesty, I fell asleep last night, and I probably thought you were warmer, so I leaned against you."
Li Zhan felt his arm was still numb. Seeing the person in his arms still clinging to him restlessly, her little hand even wanted to touch his chest.
How audacious!
"Go down."
Shen Shuyi didn't move, and said tenderly: "Your Highness, you had a headache last night. It's too early now, why don't you rest for a while?"
"I don't have to attend the morning court?"
Shen Shuyi placed her palm quietly against his firm and muscular chest, stiffening her neck and saying, "Everyone knows that the prince has a beautiful woman. If you go to court early, others will think you are not very capable!"
Li Zhan suddenly felt that his arm was no longer numb, but his head was numb. Otherwise, why would he talk nonsense to her so early in the morning.
"Little princess, do you know what is powerful?"
Shen Shuyi's small, white, and tender jade foot gently stepped on Li Zhan's long legs. "I know. I looked at a lot of spring pictures before I came to Lu State. The men in the pictures were not as handsome and strong as you, Your Highness."
Li Zhan felt the little princess's restless feet moving upwards, which made him feel a little restless.
He was just injured, and the imperial physician diagnosed that he would not have children, but his reactions in that area were still normal, especially when he woke up early.
But the little princess was setting fire unscrupulously.
A pair of beautiful arms wrapped around his neck, and she climbed up, looking at him with her beautiful, clear eyes as she spoke.
"My wise and powerful prince, you must not let others look down on you."
No matter how much Li Zhan didn't like women, he was still shocked by Shen Shuyi's intimacy and wild words.
Not to mention women, even court officials and even the emperor did not dare to say much when they saw him, for fear of angering him.
But this little princess from Lu was petite and lovely, but she was very brave.
Li Zhan's big hands grasped her slender waist. "At the palace banquet, you said you loved me, but is that true?"
The person in his arms blushed immediately, no longer showing the arrogance he had in telling lies just now.
Shen Shuyi spoke nervously, "Of course it's true. The prince is so handsome and powerful. It's not surprising that she likes him."
Li Zhan chuckled and tightened his grip on her waist.
"The little princess only knows that I am extremely powerful, but she doesn't know that I don't take the royal family seriously. I have absolute power, and I am ruthless and murderous."
Everyone was afraid of him and said he was a Shura who had climbed out of hell.
Back then, thousands of troops passed by and he was trapped in an isolated city. Everyone thought he had died on the battlefield, but he fought back.
"Why aren't you talking?" The man's deep and cold eyes fell on the girl.
Shen Shuyi raised her soft little hand and gently rubbed Li Zhan's head.
"I always think that you are very powerful, Your Majesty."
"I like powerful people, and I like your overwhelming power."
She discovered that Li Zhan was not actually resistant to her closeness.
Others were afraid of him because he was destined to be alone, but Shen Shuyi didn't care at all. He served them when they were needed and said sweet words when they were needed.
This actually made Li Zhan feel that she was "honest".
The servants waiting outside heard faint voices from inside, and Uncle Fu signaled the eunuch to go in.
The young eunuch opened the door again and asked in a low voice, "My Lord, would you like me to help you wash and dress?"
Chen Shuyi was still sitting on Li Zhan's lap. She continued to massage his head and saw that Li Zhan still had his eyes closed.
She deliberately said, "Your Highness went to bed late last night and needs to rest for a while."
