86 Huo Junhan, Don’t Do Something You’ll Regret
The black-robed woman looked pained. Her hood slipped off, revealing a beautiful face as pale as a ghost.
“I don’t want to hear any more nonsense from you. Get lost.” Huo Junhan grabbed the black-robed woman’s neck and threw her to the side.
The black-robed woman was thrown dozens of meters away by the casual and domineering power. Her body landed on the ground and smashed a hole in the flat ground.
“Huo Junhan, don’t do something you’ll regret.” After saying this, the black-robed woman watched as Huo Junhan raised his hand again. Her figure quickly turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Putting down his hand, Huo Junhan sank into the still cold spring water.
Perhaps only under extreme cold would his mind be completely clear, unlike today’s loss of control.
The night passed in a flash.
Morning sunlight poured into the room, illuminating the mess.
Yu Linlang suddenly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a smiling, handsome face.
Sensing that the sky was already bright outside, panic flashed across Yu Linlang’s face, and she started to get up. “Your Highness, what time is it? Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Huo Zhao pressed down on Yu Linlang’s shoulder and said indifferently, “Since it’s already too late, don’t be in a hurry to go back. The Shen family shouldn’t be in the mood to care so much about you now.”
“Your Highness is right.” Yu Linlang smiled weakly, her eyes extremely bleak.
“What did you want to say to me last night?” Huo Zhao kissed Yu Linlang’s face and asked softly.
He didn’t know who he was anymore.
Recently, he really wanted to be with Yu Linlang every moment.
He hadn’t seen her for a day, but when he saw her at night, he could not control himself.
At this moment, Yu Linlang thought of her motive for sneaking into Prince Zhao’s Manor in the middle of the night last night. She put on a solemn expression and said to Huo Zhao, “Your Highness, do you know why the Night Justice Bureau took over the management of the city patrol army and why they issued the ban?”
At the mention of the Night Justice Bureau, Huo Zhao sat up with an ugly expression. “After the court assembly that day, my father called His Highness Li and General Shen to the imperial study to talk. After the conversation ended, the Night Justice Bureau issued a series of orders. Even the Imperial Preceptor’s residence is now under the orders of the Night Justice Bureau. I don’t know the reason.”
The Night Justice Bureau was the most powerful knife in Huo Junhan’s hand. Other than the Emperor, no one else in the imperial court, not even the Empress Dowager, had the right to ask about it.
He had once wanted to infiltrate his forces into the Night Justice Bureau, but he had never succeeded.
Yu Linlang sat up and reached out to hug Huo Zhao’s shoulder. “Your Highness, is there an evil spirit in the capital?”
Huo Zhao nodded slowly. “A powerful evil spirit must have appeared. But why are you mentioning this? Are you afraid?”
“With Your Highness protecting Linlang, I’m not afraid,” Yu Linlang said softly. “However, on the day the ban was issued, a carriage that I’ve never seen before came from the Shen residence to pick up Yaoyao. I heard from the servants in the Shen residence that Yaoyao is going out to stay for a while. I’m just worried if Yaoyao will be safe.”
“Linlang, your heart aches for that fool.” Huo Zhao looked at Yu Linlang lovingly. “The Shen family has always treated Shen Yaowei as a treasure and will definitely protect her. You don’t have to worry.”
“Your Highness, I can’t be at ease without figuring out where Yaoyao went.” As she spoke, Yu Linlang’s expression became even more worried. “Your Highness, you also know that I grew up with Yaoyao and we have almost never been separated. In the past, Yaoyao would tell me wherever she went and let me go with her. But this time, Yaoyao left without saying anything.”
“If you want to know where she went, I’ll help you investigate.” Huo Zhao reached into Yu Linlang’s lapel. “Linlang, I don’t want to talk to you about that fool now.”
