Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen leaned down, their noses touching, and he slowly opened his mouth.

"His ending doesn't mean mine is over..." He paused, looking as if he were observing Su Wuli's expression.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli's already flushed face turned even redder.

"It seems you don't quite understand your man's schedule..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli met Yu Chen's undisguised lustful gaze.

She then became unable to speak a complete sentence.

....................................

The next few days of filming were quite hectic, with very little time to rest.

That day, Su Wuli worked non-stop all night.

On the way back to the hotel, Su Yuan kept going on about today's arrangements, but she didn't hear a word; her mind was completely blank.

I went into the room, took a shower, dried my hair, and collapsed into bed.

The moment she opened her eyes, still half-asleep, she became fully conscious.

It was a bit bright, and she squinted, taking two seconds to adjust.

Then she realized she was dreaming.

She paused for a second, then glanced around the room.

It wasn't the same room Yu Chen had been in before; it felt very unfamiliar.

Just as I was starting to have doubts, I suddenly smelled the aroma of food.

Su Wuli followed the scent and looked in that direction.

Several dishes of food were placed on the low table by the window.

The chopsticks were placed neatly to the side, and the food was steaming slightly, indicating it had just been cooked.

She paused for a moment, then turned her gaze back into the room.

Then he saw Yu Chen sitting behind his desk.

Sunlight streamed in from the side, falling on him and bathing him in a pale golden glow.

At this moment, he lowered his eyes, holding a scroll in his hand, as if he were looking at something.

He didn't seem to notice her arrival.

Su Wuli stood still, without moving.

The confusion in her mind slowly faded, and something surfaced.

Suddenly I felt that something was wrong.

According to the previous pattern, she should be able to dream together only if she and Yu Chen fall asleep together.

It's daytime now, not nighttime.

And this room... isn't the same one as before.

Why did he suddenly change locations?

Why do you stay indoors during the day?

He is the regent; doesn't he have many things to do in the court?

She remembered that the young emperor in the novel had no real power; most decisions and orders had to be made through the regent, Yu Chen.

The more Su Wuli thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and something suddenly popped into her mind.

There was indeed a period in the novel where everything went smoothly for the main characters; they could do anything and it was all as easy as if they had a cheat code.

Some book fans online joked that perhaps Yu Chen was preoccupied with something and had no time for anything else.

contain?

Su Wuli's gaze swept over the untouched dishes on the table and over the unfamiliar room once more.

Furthermore, Yu Chen did not handle official business even in broad daylight.

She suddenly understood something.

Looking over, I saw that Yu Chen was also looking over, and then I put down the roll in my hand.

He beckoned to her, "Come here."

Su Wuli didn't move.

She looked at him and instinctively asked, "Why... are you in the house? Aren't you the one from before?"

It's only been a few days, how come...

After he finished speaking, Yu Chen fell silent.

Su Wuli couldn't help but ask tentatively again, "Outside... we can't get out?"

Yu Chen's expression changed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

He asked, "Who said that?"

Su Wuli didn't say anything, she just looked at him, and then at the dishes on the table.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Chen's face revealed no emotion.

Su Wuli hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down next to him.

"Why are you still sleeping during the day?"

Yu Chen glanced at her, but didn't explain why. He simply replied, "Mm."

Su Wuli didn't reply. She looked around and then at him.

After thinking for a moment, she cautiously asked, "Did something... happen to you?"

Yu Chen paused slightly.

"I've never seen you in this room before." Su Wuli's eyes darted around as she pointed to the surroundings.

"And aren't you... the Regent? You should have a lot to do, so why are you still indoors in broad daylight...?"

Yu Chen remained silent.

He just stared at her, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he finally spoke, "I'm locked up here."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was taken aback.

关？

She looked at him in disbelief, then at the closed door, and then at the untouched dishes on the table.

The scenes she had read in those novels flashed through her mind.

Court intrigue, political enemies' framing, and house arrest.

I knew he was the villain.

But when she heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

It's hard to describe the feeling, it's just... a bit stifling.

Su Wuli couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The novel was told from the protagonist's perspective, and the other supporting characters were not described in detail.

She really didn't know if it was the detailed plot between Yu Linxi and Yu Chen.

However, it now appears that Yu Linxi has begun to make his move...

Otherwise, Su Wuli really couldn't think of anyone else who could keep Yu Chen under house arrest here.

Although Yu Linxi did not have much real power, he was still the Yellow Emperor, recognized by all the people.

Su Wuli lowered her eyes and remained silent.

After a while, she looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly remembered something.

The things in dreams are all things that happened during the day in reality.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over the untouched food, and she couldn't help but ask, "Did you...eat during the day?"

Yu Chen followed her gaze and looked back at her face.

He spoke slowly, "I didn't eat."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli frowned. "Why aren't you eating?"

He paused slightly, then suddenly seemed to realize something, "Are you afraid... someone might poison me?"

Yu Chen didn't speak, but his eyes clearly flickered.

Realizing what she had said, she lowered her eyes and added softly, "I was just asking..."

The next moment, the man reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her face up.

"Just asking?" he repeated.

Su Wuli's eyes darted away as he stared at her.

"Then I'll answer casually," Yu Chen said slowly. "Yes."

She was stunned.

He released his grip on her chin.

"I'm afraid of being poisoned," Yu Chen continued, his tone calm. "There are many things I'm afraid of."

Su Wuli pursed her lips and remained silent.

Looking at the nonchalant look on his face as he said this.

I felt a lump in my throat again.

These words came out of his mouth lightly.

She couldn't help but recall the scene of his death in the novel, where the streets were packed with onlookers on the day of his execution.

Su Wuli lowered her eyes and stared at her hands resting on her knees.

"Well..." she began, her voice a little soft, "how long has it been since you last ate?"

Yu Chen replied, "From last night until now."

From last night until now? That means...

Su Wuli glanced at the food on the table.

There was meat, vegetables, and a bowl of soup.

They were still steaming hot, so they must have been delivered recently.

"And these..." she pointed, "are they really poisonous?"
