Chapter 2

Save Yaoyao

In the bamboo forest of the imperial palace, Shen Yaowei dragged her warm body and staggered forward.

She did not expect the Reincarnation Dagger to be real. She had indeed been reborn at the age of 16, the day the emperor decreed a marriage between her and Huo Zhao, and the day she was drugged by Yu Linlang.

In her previous life, she was just a silly person. After being drugged, she kept her innocence under the protection of her maidservant. However, because Princess Baohua sent someone to catch her cheating, she ended up with a bad reputation.

From then on, she went from being a fool in the eyes of the world to a shameless fool.

At the thought of this, a cold glint flashed across Shen Yaowei’s eyes.

Suppressing the burning pain in her body, Shen Yaowei heard footsteps coming their way and quickly got up from the ground.

There was a high chance that Princess Baohua had brought people here.

A look of determination flashed across her flushed face. Shen Yaowei quickly turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

“Stop.”

Before Shen Yaowei could take two steps forward, a fierce man’s voice sounded from behind.

Shocked, Shen Yaowei staggered and almost fell to the ground.

“Who dares to barge into the forbidden area of the Jade Bamboo Forest?!”

The voice didn’t sound like one of Princess Baohua’s lackeys.

She turned her head slightly. The first thing she saw was a shadow guard dressed in black.

It was Yan Bei, one of Huo Junhan’s men.

Shen Yaowei’s breathing quickened as she looked behind Yan Bei impatiently.

A slender figure entered her sight, and Shen Yaowei’s eyes immediately turned red.

Instinctively, she covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out.

A slender white figure stood behind Yan Bei. His long black hair was unbound and his slender figure made him look a little weak, but the aura around him made people afraid to profane him.

It was the living Huo Junhan!

However, the current Huo Junhan did not look like a tyrant.

Because of his hidden illness, Huo Junhan could not be exposed to the sun for a long time. His skin was pale, his thin lips were slightly pink, and there was a faint coldness between his eyebrows.

Perhaps Shen Yaowei’s gaze was too hot. Huo Junhan, who had been lazily lowering his eyes, finally looked up at her.

At that moment, Shen Yaowei covered her mouth. Huo Junhan saw her red eyes and frowned silently.

When Shen Yaowei saw Huo Junhan looking at her, tears flowed uncontrollably.

She would never forget the scene of Huo Junhan hugging her skeleton and being devoured by the flames.

It was good to see him again.

Shen Yaowei took unsteady steps toward Huo Junhan, but she was stopped after two steps.

“Your Highness, this is the young lady of the Shen family. It’s said that she’s as smart as a seven or eight-year-old child. I’ll…”

Yan Bei recognized Shen Yaowei, but before he could finish, Shen Yaowei had already pounced on Huo Junhan like an agile little beast.

She was so fast that in an instant, she had already hugged Huo Junhan.

“Ninth Imperial Uncle, save Yaoyao… Yaoyao feels terrible…”

In her previous life, she was already used to calling Huo Junhan like how Huo Zhao addressed him.

Her soft voice was sobbing, making it obvious that something was wrong.

At the same time, a strange sweet smell mixed with the girl’s unique body fragrance wafted into Huo Junhan’s nose.

Huo Junhan’s Adam’s apple bobbed and his body froze on the spot.
