Shen Shuyi blinked and admitted it openly.
"Because I like you, Your Highness. You are so close to me, so I blush naturally."
They were very close, so close that Li Zhan could clearly see the girl's long eyelashes and smiling eyes.
He suddenly had a bad mood, which was to make her cry...
"Stop talking nonsense and come over here and give me a head press."
Shen Shuyi quickly crawled in front of him, then sat astride his legs and raised her hands to rub the dog man's head.
For several days in a row, Li Zhan got up late.
Chen Shuyi is not to blame. Except for the first night when he was drugged, he was never drugged again.
Shen Shuyi quietly opened her eyes and looked at the man with his eyes closed beside her.
She suspected that the guy did it on purpose.
Deliberately not attending the morning court.
She still remembered that yesterday several court officials, or Li Zhan's staff, came to his study to discuss things with him.
"66, those staff members should have come to invite Li Zhan to attend court yesterday, right?"
[Host dear, you guessed right, 66 even secretly recorded it. Do you want to know what Li Zhan is up to? Want to take a look?]
Before Shen Shuyi even looked at the screen, she guessed, "I guess Li Zhan wants to teach the Emperor and the Empress Dowager a lesson."
The court really couldn't function without Li Zhan. Chen Jun knew too little about state affairs during the years he stayed in Lu as a hostage, and he had not received any training as a crown prince. He was completely overwhelmed when he suddenly became emperor.
Empress Dowager Liu was of humble origin and had never been involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty. She also wanted to seize power for her family, and only cared about profit when doing things, without caring about the lives of the people.
Li Zhan's refusal to attend court was exactly what they wanted, but it also caused even greater trouble.
At first they hoped that Chen Shuyi would seduce Li Zhan and make him neglect state affairs, but now they realize that they are incompetent and many things will be difficult to handle without Li Zhan in the court.
"Let's see. Li Zhan hasn't woken up yet."
She was bored in the palace. She ate and slept every day. She also had to pretend that she could not understand the Chen language. Many local vernacular books were unreadable.
Time goes back to the day when the staff went to the study. The gray-haired military advisor Xun, who was in the lead, worked beside Li Zhan when he was a general and spoke more directly.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, if you don't come to court, the court will be in chaos and several important matters will be impossible to decide."
Li Zhan put down the book in his hand and said, "Half a month ago, I went on an inspection tour and encountered an assassin on my way back. This assassin was most likely the work of the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
"I rested for a few days to warn them."
"I have announced to the public that I have caught a cold. Please don't worry. Wait for someone to invite me to court. I can put off those matters for a few days."
After hearing Li Zhan's explanation, the staff finally felt relieved and asked again, "I have found a lot of evidence of corruption and abuse of power, and I can capture the ministers who are loyal to Your Majesty in one fell swoop."
Chen Shuyi felt that Li Zhan was a very vindictive person, and it seemed that Chen Junliu had offended him.
Chen Junliu wanted to kill Li Zhan, and Li Zhan also wanted to get rid of this useless emperor.
Maintaining a sleeping position was a bit stiff, Shen Shuyi moved and felt her head crushed on Li Zhan's arm.
She was afraid that she would sleep numb again, so she quickly and quietly rolled down, burying her head in Li Zhan's chest. Li Zhan's arms were on top of her head, as if he was holding her in his arms.
Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for a while, she heard a noise outside.
Uncle Fu's voice came in, neither loud nor soft.
"Your Majesty, the prince has not yet stood up..."
Chen Junliu walked past him and went straight into the inner hall. "I heard that the emperor's uncle was ill, so I came to see him."
He was the emperor and there was no place he could not go. Moreover, he brought the imperial physician with him, saying that he wanted to treat the regent.
The bedroom was extremely quiet, the bed curtains had not yet been drawn, and it seemed that the person inside had not yet gotten up.
Chen Junliu seemed to want to see clearly how many people were behind the bed curtains. "Uncle, are you feeling well?"
Li Zhan has always been alert and woke up when Chen Junliu pushed the door open.
Chen Shuyi seemed to be woken up, opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her hazily.
She snuggled into the man's arms, as if she had not slept enough.
"Your Highness, the servants in your house are so unruly and noisy. They should be dragged out and sold..."
Li Zhan raised his hand to push her head away a little, otherwise the little princess would go too far and push open his clothes and stick to his chest.
His voice was hoarse from the morning as he spoke, "You're still a little maid, and you're selling people out right away. How can that be justified?"
"Prince~" Shen Shuyi snuggled into his arms and muttered, "I am a maid, but I am also the maid on your bed..."
Outside the bed curtain, Chen Junliu, who didn't dare to get too close, heard the conversation between the two.
He was so angry that his face turned blue, and he became even more angry when he thought that Shen Shuyi was sent to Li Zhan by him.
It looked like he would have to send someone over to give her a good beating.
This is ridiculous!
On the bed, Li Zhan was suddenly touched by her where he shouldn't be. He hissed softly, "Behave yourself!"
Chen Junliu outside could no longer control himself. He raised his voice, "I heard that your uncle was unwell. I have brought the imperial physician here. Please ask your uncle to let the physician take your pulse."
Li Zhan frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, this is the Regent's Palace."
Chen Junliu's face turned pale and blue. "I'm just concerned about you. You haven't been to court for several days."
"I will naturally attend court when I recover from my illness. Your Majesty, please do not worry about me. Your Majesty should focus on state affairs and read more memorials."
Li Zhan's hand fell on the girl's waist and he whispered in her ear.
"Little maid, who did you say you were going to sell out?"
Shen Shuyi buried her head in his arms awkwardly, "Your Highness, you are teasing me again!"
Chen Junliu looked very unhappy and left with a wave of his sleeves.
Li Zhan just wanted to give Chen Junliu's faction a warning, and two days later he got up refreshed and prepared to attend the morning court.
Shen Shuyi curled up in bed, watching him get dressed.
Li Zhan looked at the lazy cat on the bed and beckoned, "Come here."
Shen Shuyi slowly got up and came to him barefoot, "Prince, what's wrong?"
"Help me tie my belt."
Shen Shuyi picked up the belt and moved closer, taking the opportunity to hug the man's narrow waist while tying the belt.
She looked up at Li Zhan and said, "I'll wait for the prince to come down from court for dinner."
After saying that, she took advantage of Li Zhan's inattention and raised her heels to kiss his chin.
Shen Shuyi's ears turned red and she quickly got back under the quilt, fearing that he would settle the score.
Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, looking at the bulge in the quilt, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
Shen Shuyi took a nap and then got up to have breakfast.
Looking at the table full of rich breakfast, she was in a good mood. Suddenly, the maid who served her came over.
At the beginning, she brought two palace maids from Lu State, one named Cui'er and the other named Zhu'er. They were both shadow guards sent by Chen Junliu to monitor and support her.
Seeing that no one else was around, Zhu'er said coldly, "Chen Shuyi, you crossed the line today. Who told you to disobey His Majesty?"
