Shen Yaowei’s eyes were filled with monstrous anger and killing intent. Huo Junhan followed her gaze and wasn’t surprised to see Huo Yuntian.

Huo Yuntian strode towards the dragon chair and didn’t notice anything wrong.

A bad guess filled Huo Junhan’s heart. He slowly held Shen Yaowei’s hand.

“Yaoyao, you’ll get hurt if this goes on. Let go of me and be good.”

Only then did Shen Yaowei take a deep breath and lower her eyes to hide the pain in them. She leaned her head gently on Huo Junhan’s shoulder and said in a soft voice, “Junhan, Huo Yuntian killed my mother.”

Huo Junhan’s eyes darkened.

Sure enough, she knew.

“I’ll avenge you. It’s not time yet, Yaoyao. You have to trust me.” Huo Junhan slowly tightened his grip on Shen Yaowei’s hand and whispered in her ear in a voice only she could hear.

Shen Yaowei nodded gently and opened her palm, interlocking her fingers with Huo Junhan.

Huo Yuntian had no idea what had happened between the two of them. He sat on the dragon throne and saw Huo Junhan at a glance. A smile even appeared in his eyes. “1 haven’t seen you in a long time, Your Highness Li. Today, you’re finally here.”

Huo Zhao had long taken part in the small actions between the two of them. He stood up and cupped his hands. “Father, the three princes have been waiting outside the hall for a long time. They’re just waiting for Father to summon them.”

Huo Yuntian was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, “We can’t let the princes wait for long. Someone, summon them.”

“Prince Gongren, Prince Zhennan, and Prince Zhenbei have arrived!”

Shen Yaowei had already adjusted her condition. With everyone, she looked at the three princes who were striding over.

The three princes were all middle-aged men over 40 years old. Prince Zhennan and Prince Zhenbei were brothers to begin with. They looked 70% to 80% similar, and both of them were powerful and majestic. They were like two small mountains escorting Prince Gongren, who was in the middle of them.

Compared to the other two princes, Prince Gongren looked very gentle. He was wearing a peacock blue court dress and looked elegant. He exuded the elegant temperament of a mature man.

At a glance, the appearance of Prince Gongren was extremely bewildering.

Shen Yaowei wasn’t deceived by appearances, and she was well aware that Prince Gongren was the most formidable of the three princes. In comparison, Prince Zhennan and Prince Zhenbei seemed to have fierce looks but lacked substance.

“Your Majesty, 1 and Prince Zhenbei have joined hands to present a congratulatory gift to Your Majesty. Please accept it!”

As Prince Zhennan spoke, four attendants walked in behind the two of them. They pushed a mahogany cart covered in red cloth and stood behind the two lords.

As Prince Zhennan gave him a look, one attendant raised his hand and lifted the red cloth, revealing the pure white shell on the cart.

The shell was open and stuffed with a soft brocade cloth. On it were two luminous pearls the size of a baby’s fist!

The Night-Luminescent Pearl was dazzling, and its lustrous surface emitted a seven-colored light, successfully causing everyone to exclaim.

“Hahaha, good. Prince Zhennan and Prince Zhenbei are too considerate. However, I’m even more curious. What surprise did Prince Gongren prepare for me?” Huo Yuntian saw that Prince Gongren didn’t speak the entire time and looked at him meaningfully.

Prince Gongren said respectfully, “Reporting to Your Majesty, I’ve prepared a better gift for you. I offer my blessings today. May Your Majesty’s country be safe and prosperous.”

Just as everyone thought that Prince Gongren had only sent him a few blessings, an ethereal spirit’s voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Shen Yaowei followed everyone’s gaze and saw a girl in a long dress with dazzling silver accessories walking in slowly with a jade flute in her hand..
