Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

Shen Wangchuan wasn't particularly sensitive to other things, but he immediately noticed Xie Liuyan's gaze.

However, since they were inside the carriage, he was not as formal and serious with Xie Liuyan as he was in front of outsiders; instead, he was much more casual.

"What's wrong, Ayan?"

His gaze remained fixed on the unofficial history, but his mind drifted to Xie Liuyan, wondering why Xie Liuyan was looking at him.

"Nothing's wrong. Have you had any trouble adjusting to staying at the Regent's Palace these past few days?"

I thought Ah Yan was going to say something, but that's all?

Shen Wangchuan initially wanted to say no, but then he thought better of it and decided not to be too definitive.

He said in a teasing tone:

"Of course there are. The Regent's Palace has beautiful scenery, good people, and the only drawback is..."

He even sighed halfway through his sentence.

This piqued Xie Liuyan's curiosity, and he continued:

"What is it? Don't play riddles with me."

"It's just that this bed... is a little bit hard."

"I wish I could experience the bed that Ayan sleeps on someday. My hard bed makes my back ache after sleeping on it for a long time."

Xie Liuyan's lips twitched. He had thought Shen Wangchuan would say something, but it turned out to be this self-offering of his bedmate.

But he spoke with such confidence and righteousness.

After realizing what was happening, Xie Liuyan smirked coldly.

"The Regent's Palace is very large, with plenty of beds. It's one thing that you don't go back to your own bed to sleep every day, but you're always plotting something."

"Even if your back aches and your waist hurts, you should endure this suffering!"

Seeing that Ayan seemed angry, Shen Wangchuan quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Ayan is right. What's a little hardship compared to sleeping in the same room as Ayan?"

As for his plan to climb into Ayan's bed, it will come true sooner or later. He just needs to be patient and make Ayan happy. Further progress will be promising in the future.

Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, he will eventually win the heart of his beloved.

Seeing that he admitted his mistake quickly and sincerely, Xie Liuyan snorted and indicated that he would not pursue the matter further.

Shen Wangchuan, who had almost gotten himself into serious trouble because of his loose tongue, breathed a sigh of relief.

There's nothing I can do about it; that's just how he is. Back when the playboy was talking to Zhao Jue, he never held back his words.

They were just very close brothers, and they usually discussed things like gossip about court officials and food.

Now serving as Xie Liuyan's bodyguard, he has matured and become more composed, but his fundamental nature remains unchanged.

When he occasionally makes a tactless remark, Xie Liuyan keeps him firmly under control.

The carriage continued its journey, and Shen Wangchuan dared not utter another word. He held the unofficial history in his hand, but his mind was elsewhere.

He was originally thinking that he would be happy to be able to go back to the Shen family mansion to see his parents and reunite with his family.

He was even more pleasantly surprised that Xie Liuyan was able to return to the Shen residence with him.

But now that I've realized it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Shen family had always supported the emperor in the imperial court, and his father even regarded Xie Liuyan as a stumbling block on the emperor's path to seizing power.

Previously, because Xie Liuyan had told him not to leak the news, he had not told his father, Shen Qingcheng.

In fact, Xie Liuyan never had the idea of ​​ascending to the highest position.

On the contrary, the Zuo family, including Zuo Zhilin, one of the regents appointed by the late emperor, is the most worthy of vigilance.

If this news is told to his father, and the Shen family can cooperate with Ayan, wouldn't it be easier for Ayan to do what he wants?

After all, the road he was walking alone was far too long and too dangerous.

If given the opportunity, Shen Wangchuan would absolutely be willing to help Xie Liuyan share some of the burden.

Thinking this, Shen Wangchuan asked:

"Ayan, do you have any other plans for this trip to the Shen residence?"

"For example, collaborating with my dad."

“My father is a reasonable man and would never give you a hard time because of your status or previous political opposition. He, like Ayan, is wholeheartedly concerned about the people of Yun Kingdom.”

Xie Liuyan glanced at him and praised him:

"I don't usually see you react this quickly, but you guessed correctly today."

Even if Zuo Zhilin can delay, his health can't afford to deteriorate any further. The sooner he resolves this mess, the sooner he can get to Medicine Valley.

This sounds like a compliment, but it doesn't quite sound like a compliment.

Shen Wangchuan was unsure whether to be proud or frustrated. Did Ayan usually only see him as someone who was agile and quick-witted?

Is the brain not developed at all?

Sooner or later he will correct this through his actions.

While the two were talking, the carriage stopped.

Xie Yi's voice rang out from outside the partition:

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Shen residence. You may disembark from the carriage now."

Xie Liuyan sat up and, with Shen Wangchuan's help, left the carriage.

Outside the Shen residence, Shen Qingcheng received a message from the Prince's Mansion early in the morning, saying that the Regent Prince would be making a special trip to visit the Shen residence today.

Shen Qingcheng was both happy and apprehensive.

The good news is that with the arrival of the Regent, his youngest son, Shen Wangchuan, as a guard, will likely come along as well.

What terrified him was that he didn't know Xie Liuyan's purpose in coming here, since he had always been at odds with Xie Liuyan in the court and had never taken sides with him.

Then, thinking of his own foolish son still serving others, Minister Shen sighed deeply.

Sitting to the side, Zhao Wanrou, also known as Madam Shen, frowned in disapproval upon seeing this:

"Qingcheng, it's rare for Xiaoyao to come home. Why are you sighing like that? Is something bothering you?"

The affairs of the court were too complicated for Shen Qingcheng to explain to his wife, so he simply said:

"Of course I'm happy, but I'm afraid the prince's visit may not be well-intentioned. After all, since the late emperor's passing, the prince has never set foot in our Shen residence."

"Why would they suddenly want to come over now? There must be some secret behind it."

Hearing this, Madam Shen realized something. The two were talking in the hall when a servant ran in to report:

"Master and Madam, the Prince's carriage is almost at the Shen residence. Please make preparations as soon as possible."

"Alright, now is not the time to let our minds wander. Wanrou, come with me to greet them."

"Yes, husband."

And so, after Shen Wangchuan helped Xie Liuyan down from the carriage, the first thing he saw was his parents.

He suppressed his excitement and didn't pounce on Xie Liuyan immediately, but instead made sure everything was taken care of first.

Watching Shen Wangchuan skillfully assemble Xie Liuyan's wheelchair and then help him sit in it, Shen Qingcheng felt gratified.

Regardless, the prince did indeed help his son a lot, and he always protected Shen Wangchuan in the court.

My own good-for-nothing son is now showing signs of being able to stand on his own.

After Xie Liuyan finished tidying up, Shen Qingcheng and everyone bowed:

"Welcome, Your Highness, to the Shen residence. Your presence is an honor to our humble abode. It is windy outside; Your Highness, please come inside for a chat."

Xie Liuyan replied, "Yes, thank you for your trouble, Minister Shen."

Shen Wangchuan pushed his wheelchair and winked at his father who was walking beside him.

As he walked past the sign for the Shen residence, he sighed inwardly:

Ah, the Shen residence, it's been so long.
