The young eunuch was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak. He looked weakly at Shen Yaowei, who was sitting on the seat beside him.
The Empress also felt the young eunuch’s gaze. She followed his gaze and looked at Shen Yaowei.
In contrast, Shen Yaowei looked exceptionally calm. She slowly stood up from her seat. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
A hint of fear appeared in the Empress’s eyes at a visible speed. “So it’s Miss Shen… 1 heard that His Highness Li returned to the capital yesterday. Why didn’t Miss Shen enter the palace with His Highness Li today?”
Shen Yaowei knew very well that Her Majesty wasn’t afraid of her, but of
J unhan. She smiled calmly. “J unhan has other things to do. He might have to wait until the next time to come and pay his respects to His Majesty. Today, His Majesty sent his father-in-law to bring me into the palace. 1 wanted to accompany His Majesty more, but 1 didn’t expect the hornet’s nest on the tree to suddenly fall when I went to draw…”
Seeing that Shen Yaowei had reached the end, she shook her head and sighed helplessly. The Empress looked at her with a complicated gaze. “In that case, everything that happened in the imperial garden just now was an accident?”
Shen Yaowei’s expression was as usual. She stared at the Empress and asked, “Does Your Majesty have any other opinions?”
The Empress choked on Shen Yaowei’s words. After clearing her throat, she said, “That’s not what 1 meant. It’s just that this accident happened too suddenly. Neither 1 nor my sisters expected it.”
“It’s the same for me. 1 wonder how His Majesty’s injuries are,” Shen Yaowei said as she watched Imperial Physician Qi walk out of the inner hall.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Miss Shen.” Imperial Physician Qi didn’t dare to ignore Shen Yaowei and quickly knelt down to pay his respects.
The muscles at the corners of the Empress’s mouth twitched violently. She stared at Imperial Physician Qi and asked, “Imperial Physician Qi, how’s His Majesty’s condition?”
“Your Majesty, His Majesty was attacked by hornets, and his injuries are very serious. He has been bitten dozens of times from head to toe. His entire body is swollen now. Although the thorns in his wounds have been cleaned out, the poison is still there. The pain and itch are unbearable.” Imperial Physician Qi couldn’t help but sigh when he mentioned Huo Yuntian’s injuries.
“Is there no way to relieve the pain?” Shen Yaowei asked.
Imperial Physician Qi pondered for a moment in embarra.s.sment and said, “We’ve used all the methods we can, but this poison can only be slowly resolved over time. Be it taking medicine or applying medicine, it’s actually not very effective…”
“In that case, 1 and my sisters will have to take turns serving His Majesty,” the Empress said. She glanced at Shen Yaowei and had a headache. “Miss Shen has also suffered a lot of shock today. Why don’t you return to the residence first? Someone, escort Miss Shen out of the palace.”
Shen Yaowei didn’t refuse. She nodded calmly, then turned around and left without looking back.
On the way out of the palace, Shen Yaowei was in a good mood. After returning to the courtyard, she packed her luggage and waited for the night to arrive.
That night.
Outside the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, Shen Yaowei had changed into a fiery red outfit. She carried her luggage and looked at the Shen family in front of her with a helpless smile. “Father, Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I’ll always follow the Imperial Preceptor when I go to the Ghost Abyss this time. You don’t have to worry about me so much.”
“It’s good that you know that you have to follow the Imperial Preceptor.” Shen Liu’an sighed. Then, he looked around but didn’t see Huo Junhan.. “Yaoyao, won’t His Highness send you off this time?”
