Huo Zhao was dissatisfied, but his body bowed respectfully to Huo Junhan. “Greetings, Imperial Uncle.”

Huo Junhan drank his tea by himself; and didn’t ask him to stand up.

Huo Zhao didn’t dare to move as he wished. He could only maintain this posture and not move at all.

Seeing this, Huo Yuntian cleared his throat. “Zhao’er, you’ve done very well with the things I’ve handed you these few times. I’m very gratified and want to reward you with something.”

Huo Zhao hurriedly turned around and said sincerely, “Father, my talent is average. I’ve been studying hard to share your worries. I’m happy to be able to help you now. I only hope that you can leave this matter to me in the future. 1 don’t dare ask for any other rewards.”

When Huo Yuntian heard this, he was overjoyed and couldn’t help but nod in admiration. “Yes… you really didn’t disappoint me.”

At this moment, Huo Junhan, who had been silent, put down the tea bowl in his hand.

The tea bowl made a crisp sound when it was placed on the table. He was shocked when he heard Huo Zhao.

“His Majesty praised you today. Prince Zhao, you’re even more energetic when it comes to happy events. You must be happy to have someone you love as your concubine.” Huo Junhan’s voice was low and pleasant to the ears. There were no ripples, but there was a faint sense of oppression.

Huo Zhao guessed what Huo Junhan meant and frowned calmly. “Thank you for your concern, Imperial Uncle.”

“I’ve also heard about your secondary consort. Although it’s an imperial decree issued by the Empress Dowager, as long as Miss Shen doesn’t mind this matter, there’s nothing wrong.” As His Majesty spoke, he kept observing Huo Junhan’s expression, as if he would immediately change the topic if he was dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Huo Junhan didn’t speak. He looked straight at the tea bowl in his hand, as if he hadn’t taken it to heart from the beginning to the end.

Huo Zhao took in the way His Majesty was afraid of Huo Junhan. An unknown anger gathered in his heart.

He had had enough of his father being so wary of Huo Junhan.

After he became the ruler of a country, he would definitely not be as cowardly as his father. He would definitely step on Huo Junhan and let this man understand the consequences of disrespecting the emperor.

“Father, don’t worry. Yaoyao is very loyal to me. Coupled with the fact that she and Linlang are sisters and don’t differentiate between us, she definitely won’t mind such a small matter,” Huo Zhao said confidently.

Huo Junhan took in Huo Zhao’s every expression, and a disdainful and cold smile appeared in his light-colored eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this moment, the chief eunuch outside the imperial study reported loudly, “General Shen requests an audience—!”

Huo Yuntian smiled and said, “Quickly invite General Shen in.”

The door of the imperial study opened and Shen Liu’an walked in quickly with a dark expression. When he saw Huo Yuntian, he knelt down with a plop. “Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Highness.”

“General Shen, there’s no need to be so polite.” Huo Junhan didn’t choose to ignore him this time. Instead, he nodded politely at Shen Liu’an.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Shen Liu’an’s posture, Huo Yuntian smiled and said, “Minister Shen, why do you have to give such a big bow as soon as you come over? It makes us seem distant. Someone, quickly give General Shen a seat.”

“I’m here today to ask for His Majesty’s mercy.” As Shen Liu’an spoke, he took out a dark green bag.

The small bundle looked inconspicuous, but the moment it appeared, His Majesty and Huo Zhao’s eyes burned..
