Chapter 13 - Hold tight, don't let go

The conversation had finally ended.

Zhuo Qingyan was lying on the bed covered by a blanket, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

During the entire day, he was dragged around until he was half-dead, then he was half-dead carrying an extremely heavy thing, then he worked so hard to burn his brain until he was half-dead, and finally, there was a soul-stirring night assault.

If someone were to say that this day wasn't exciting, would they believe it? Anyway, she didn't believe it.

It could be said that this was the most exciting day of her two lives!

Towards Chu Yi Chen's doubts, she was truly powerless.

The instinctive reaction of a person was not something that she could hide just because she wanted to be a fool. It was a reaction that was faster than the speed of her body and faster than her brain.

Her first conversation today had added a few more points of doubt to her mind.

If what he said was true, then even though he knew his mother from an early age, what kind of relationship did she have to make this high and mighty prince condescend to marry a fool like her?

Even if she wasn't a fool, she was still just a concubine in the Shang clan. The difference in status was too big, making her unable to help but doubt him.

Even though the imperial edict was giving him a marriage, he could just throw himself into a side courtyard and ignore it. Yet, he just let her stay in the master bedroom. He could live under the same roof as her. That was a bit unreasonable …

Originally, she was not very good at this kind of thing. Her brain was wracked with pain, but she was still unable to make sense of it. Under this kind of drowsiness, she fell asleep.

However, before she even closed her eyes for a while, she suddenly felt that someone was standing beside her bed.

She immediately opened her eyes in alarm.

He saw Chu Yi Chen, dressed in an ink-black robe with her black hair draped over her shoulders and a colorful fur mask on her face.

In the middle of the night, she was the only one with mental fortitude. Otherwise, she would have fainted from fright a long time ago.

”Move in a bit!” Chu Yi Chen raised his head towards her.

”What?” Zhuo Qingyan did not move. She decided that if he kept going like that, she would give it her all!

”There will be someone coming to check in the morning. You aren't trying to expose us, are you?” Chu Yi Chen was naturally able to see her resolute expression, and his mood immediately became better.

”Ah?” ”Oh …” Although Zhuo Qingyan still did not understand, she still moved to give him a seat.

Chu Yi Chen picked up the quilt and laid down, covering her head as well. He leaned his head to the side and said, ”Let's sleep a little longer. After dawn, we still need to enter the palace to show our gratitude.”

”What?” ”Can you not go?” Zhuo Qingyan had been beaten inside out by his words, wasn't this just exposing her secret?

”No way!” As for this matter, he was also unwilling.

”But …” ”I … don't know anything …” Zhuo Qingyan helplessly closed her eyes.

”It's normal for a fool not to understand.” Once Chu Yi Chen said those words, he felt a bit of regret. Carefully peeking out from behind his mask, he looked at Zhuo Qing Yan lying on the side.

However, he noticed that this girl wasn't angry. Instead, her eyes lit up for a moment, and then she nodded her head with a smile on her face.

He relaxed, turned his head, lay back, and stared at the top of the bed.

”That... Your Highness, if I were to make a fool of myself in the palace, would I embarrass you? ” Zhuo Qingyan asked softly.

”Yes!” Chu Yi Chen said: ”But don't be afraid!”
