Shen Yaowei looked forward to seeing Junhan when she returned. After nodding distractedly, she left the General’s Mansion and went straight to the courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard with her third brother, she bade him farewell and went straight to the small courtyard where Junhan lived.

However, when she walked to the small courtyard, she realized that it was empty and there was no aura of anyone. The huge courtyard looked especially cold.

Her expectations instantly turned into nothing. Helpless, Shen Yaowei washed up and obediently returned to her room to rest.

The next morning, in the imperial study.

Just after the morning court session, Huo Yuntian, dressed in dragon robes, sat upon the dragon throne, exuding an imposing aura. His gaze fell upon Qi Yuan, who sat beside him, calmly sipping tea.

Qi Yuan, as always, wore a light-colored robe, maintaining his calm and unruffled demeanor. The light in his eyes shimmered, and the noble and sacred aura emanating from him seemed to surpass even Huo Yuntian, seated on the dragon throne, making him appear even more radiant.

“Imperial Preceptor, 1 heard that the ghost race has been making a lot of moves recently. When the princes enter the palace, you have to come up with a foolproof plan. At that time, the Imperial Preceptor’s residence needs to be especially careful. Nothing must go wrong.” Huo Yuntian’s expression was solemn as he stared at Qi Yuan and slowly reminded him.

Qi Yuan’s expression was as calm as water. When he smiled, he nodded gently. “Please don’t worry, Your Majesty. However, His Highness Li isn’t here today. I wonder who Your Majesty plans to hand over the matter of entertaining the princes?”

As expected, Shen Liu’an didn’t see Huo Junhan. His eyes were filled with worry.

He wasn’t worried about His Highness Li.

After all, with His Highness’s strength, he could deal with anything at will, no matter where he went.

He was worried about his precious daughter. She had followed him to the entrance of the palace early in the morning before the sun rose in hopes of seeing His Highness Li. In the end, who would have thought that His Highness Li wouldn’t come? It was obvious that Yaoyao was destined to be disappointed later.

Shen Liu’an was immersed in his thoughts when Huo Zhao, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly took the initiative to speak.

Huo Zhao’s eyes were burning as he hurriedly said, “Father, I’m still young and need more experience. I’m willing to take the initiative to entertain the princes. Please give me a chance.”

Seeing Huo Zhao’s serious expression, Huo Yuntian pondered for a moment. “Alright. Since His Highness Li isn’t around today, I’ll leave this matter to you. This matter is important. You have to perform well and not disappoint me.”

Huo Zhao hurriedly agreed and quickly reported what he planned to do next.

Huo Zhao spoke in an orderly manner and made Huo Yuntian very satisfied. After reminding them a few more times, he let the three of them leave.

Thinking that Shen Yaowei was still waiting bitterly outside the door, Shen Liu’an and Qi Yuan hurriedly greeted each other before turning around and heading straight for the door.

Seeing that Shen Liu’an was in a hurry, Huo Zhao couldn’t help but take note. He asked the attendant beside him, “What’s the matter with the Shen family? Why is General Shen leaving in such a hurry?”

The servant lowered his head and replied, “I heard that Miss Shen is also here this time. However, for some reason, Miss Shen didn’t enter the palace to greet His Majesty. Instead, she has been guarding outside the palace.”

Huo Zhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled confidently. “Why else? It’s naturally for me.”

The servant looked up and met Huo Zhao’s confident expression. For a moment, he was speechless.

He really wanted to ask his Lord where he got his confidence from.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Huo Zhao thought of Shen Yaowei, and disdain appeared in his eyes.

Today, His Highness Li didn’t come. Shen Yaowei had always been entangled with him. If she wasn’t here to see him, who else could she be here to see?

Thinking that Shen Yaowei was actually so frank, Huo Zhao was in a good mood and quickened his pace..
