After the Princess Consort left, Shen Wei forced herself to stay alert and accompanied Prince Yan through dinner. Having suffered such a calamity today, she was both mentally and physically exhausted and fell asleep early that night. She didn't even practice her calligraphy.
Prince Yan lifted the deep blue bed curtain and looked at Shen Wei, who was lightly asleep on the bed. Her small face was pale, and even in sleep, she seemed uneasy, like a frightened kitten. In Prince Yan's mind, he couldn't help but recall the words the Crown Prince had told him:
"Yuan Jing, never underestimate the cruelty of women in the inner chambers."
"You know their faces, but not their hearts."
A gloomy expression appeared on Prince Yan's handsome face.
