Look for Ninth Imperial Uncle
“I dreamed that Mother was crying. She came to tell me that she was killed…” Shen Yaowei said softly, looking straight at Huo Yuntian.
In her previous life, she had only found out not long before she died that her mother had not died of illness and had been murdered.
In her previous life, she had no chance to help her mother take revenge. In this life, she had to find the real murderer who had killed her mother.
Huo Yuntian loosened his grip on the chopsticks and they fell to the ground.
Shen Yaowei frowned when she saw this.
At the side, Eunuch Bao Fu hurriedly brought clean chopsticks over and handed them to Huo Yuntian.
“I’m full,” Huo Yuntian said slowly and stood up. “I’m going to the imperial study. Yaoyao, you can play in the palace for a while after breakfast before going back.”

Huo Yuntian looked at Shen Yaowei deeply and turned to leave.
Shen Yaowei stared at Huo Yuntian’s back as he left. An undetectable dark light flowed in the depths of her dark eyes.
When Huo Yuntian’s back disappeared from her sight, she turned to look at Zi Yun. “Zi Yun, I’m full too. Let’s go take a stroll.”
In the past, after Shen Yaowei entered the palace, she would often play in the palace for a few more hours before returning, so Zi Yun did not think too much about it and agreed readily.
However, when Shen Yaowei walked to the bamboo forest near the imperial garden, Zi Yun could not remain calm.
“Miss, what are you doing here?” Zi Yun knew very well that it was the famous forbidden area in the palace right ahead.
“To look for my Ninth Imperial Uncle,” Shen Yaowei said confidently.
Zi Yun was speechless.
Did her lady really not know how terrifying His Highness Li was?
Yesterday, she had gone to His Highness Li’s residence during the day and immediately had a nightmare when she slept at night.
“Miss, I think we should go back. His Highness Li doesn’t like others barging into his forbidden area.”
“I’m not just anyone!” Instead of stopping, Shen Yaowei quickened her pace.
Zi Yun looked at Shen Yaowei’s stubborn back and stroked her forehead. She followed her with a tragic mood.
After a while, the two of them arrived outside the bamboo forest.
Yan Bei was standing at the door of the small courtyard with a frown. When he saw Shen Yaowei, he was momentarily stunned.
“Miss Shen?”
Shen Yaowei waved at Yan Bei as a greeting and smiled sweetly at him. “Is my Ninth Imperial Uncle inside?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYan Bei turned to look at the wooden house in the bamboo courtyard and frowned even more.
His master had suddenly fallen ill today. Then, after forcefully coming here, he had locked himself in the wooden house.
He did not know what was going on with his master now.
“Miss Shen, my master is not feeling well…” Yan Bei said after some hesitation.
Shen Yaowei instantly became nervous.
She knew that Huo Junhan had a hidden illness. Almost every three months, this hidden illness would relapse.
It was said that when Huo Junhan’s hidden illness relapsed, he would lose his mind. He was cruel and bloodthirsty, even more terrifying than a demon.
“Miss, since it’s not convenient for His Highness Li to see us, let’s go back first…”
Zi Yun was about to pull Shen Yaowei’s hand when Shen Yaowei quickly passed Yan Bei and rushed into the small courtyard.
“I want to see my Ninth Imperial Uncle. No one is allowed to stop me!”
Yan Bei was about to stop him when a bold thought suddenly flashed across his mind and he stopped.
Perhaps Miss Shen was really his master’s medicine.
