Chapter 6

Find Out Who Drugged Shen Yaowei

Looking at Huo Junhan’s cold smile, Shen Yaowei had the urge to pounce on him and hug him.

In the eyes of the world, Huo Junhan was a cruel lunatic, but this man was the one who had given her a new life.

However, before she could move, Huo Junhan’s cold voice continued, “Yan Bei, take Miss Shen away.”

After saying that, he stood up and left.

A moment later, in the front hall of the bamboo courtyard.

After Yan Bei returned, he knelt in front of Huo Junhan and reported respectfully, “The Emperor sent someone to urge Master to attend the banquet again.”

“Did anything happen in the palace today?” Huo Junhan took a sip of tea.

“Master, Princess Baohua brought many people to the West Palace Room to look for Miss Shen two hours ago,” Yan Bei replied.

Huo Junhan’s eyes were cold. “Find out who drugged Shen Yaowei.”

“Yes!” Yan Bei received the order and left.

When Shen Yaowei arrived at the entrance of the imperial garden, the Hundred Flowers Feast was already halfway through.

Almost all the civil and military officials were gathered here. Some stood in groups to admire the flowers, while others sat in their seats to drink and chat. It was a lively scene.

She quickly scanned the banquet and saw Yu Linlang and Princess Baohua whispering to each other.

From her angle, she could just see the dark expression on Princess Baohua’s face. She was probably angry because she had not successfully caught the adulterer.

With a faint smile on her lips, Shen Yaowei casually picked a handful of purple-red flowers beside her.

While no one was paying attention, she quickly tore off a few petals and stuffed them into her mouth.

When she threw the flowers in her hand into the flowerbed, Liu’er, who was beside Yu Linlang, happened to notice her.

“Miss Yu, look, the Eldest Miss is back!”

Shen Yaowei saw Yu Linlang looking at her and felt uncomfortable. She walked into the imperial garden with her usual cute smile.

Yu Linlang looked at Shen Yaowei calmly. Jealousy flashed across her eyes for a moment.

Although Shen Yaowei was a fool, she was known as the number one beauty in the capital.

The peach-colored dress made her skin look smooth and her black hair was combed into two round buns that were embellished with red pomegranate gems. Her unpowdered face was beautiful and attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared at the banquet.

Yu Linlang subconsciously looked at Huo Zhao, who was sitting not far away.

Huo Zhao, who was wearing a gorgeous python robe, sat in the crowd. His handsome face was slightly dark as he looked at Shen Yaowei, but he could not hide his disgust.

Yu Linlang couldn’t help but feel happy. She looked deeply at the red mark on Shen Yaowei’s neck and lowered her voice to say to the maidservant beside her, “I don’t know where Yaoyao went crazy again. Look at that neck, it looks like it was bitten by something. Go prepare some itching medicine for Yaoyao to use later.”

Her voice was neither low nor loud, and Princess Baohua happened to hear it. She immediately revealed a thoughtful expression.

Shen Yaowei, who had just walked up to the Emperor, also heard Yu Linlang speak.

After her rebirth, her vision and hearing had become much more agile.

Lowering her eyes to suppress the coldness in them, Shen Yaowei bowed obediently to the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

“Little Yaoyao, I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you seem to have lost some weight. How did Shen Liu’an do things? He can’t even raise his daughter well?” When Huo Yuntian looked at Shen Yaowei, he couldn’t help but smile warmly.

Shen Yaowei looked at Huo Yuntian and smiled brightly. “Uncle Emperor, you’re ignorant! Skinny is the beauty of the capital now!”

Her childish words made most of the people present look disdainful.

Other than Huo Junhan, who did not know the etiquette of a ruler and a minister, only this fool from the Shen family dared to speak to the Emperor like this.

Huo Yuntian was about to ask Shen Yaowei where she had gone to play again when Princess Baohua’s voice suddenly sounded.

“Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have something to report!”
