Shen Li went upstairs and returned to her bedroom, not to brush off Lily, but because she was indeed feeling a bit sleepy.
The temperature was just right, the sun warm, and there was no better time to take a blissful nap than now.
"Huh..."
Shen Li heaved a sigh and lay down on the noble concubine's couch.
Sleepiness came over her quickly; the butler and Situ had spent the whole morning discussing the dinner party with her.
To say there was no pressure would be a lie; if it weren't for the pressure she was currently facing, she would have chatted with Lily for a bit longer.
Only... when she couldn't find a way out of her own predicament, she really felt that she was running out of energy.
"Let's talk about it after I wake up," Shen Li said to herself, and soon fell asleep.
In her sweet dream, it was as if all troubles had disappeared, she didn't know what she dreamed about, only that it felt wonderful.
Until...
"Ah!!!!!"
A scream of extreme agony.
