Chapter 387 - 387: Your Majesty, It’s All My Fault
“Alright, i’ll help you too. Yaoyao, it’ll be dawn soon. I’m going to the palace to see His Majesty. Do you want to come with me?” Huo Junhan mentioned Huo Yuntian, and a cold glint flashed across his light eyes.
Shen Yaowei was still intermediate with her disappointment and didn’t notice Huo Junhan’s fleeting emotions.
Like a wheedling kitten, she hugged Huo Junhan and rubbed against his chest. “I don’t want to go.”
Not to mention that she wasn’t in the mood to go to the palace to smile, just His Majesty’s recent actions made her feel disgusted.
She didn’t want to see His Majesty hugging a woman who looked like her mother and flirting with her in front of her.
“Then 1’11 bring you some desserts on the way back. What do you want to eat?” As Huo Junhan spoke, he raised his hand and hugged Shen Yaowei.
Hearing the word dessert, Shen Yaowei’s eyes finally lit up again. She said expectantly, “1 want to eat rose crisps and peach blossom dew. 1 want rose crisps that are freshly baked. It’s the sweetest and most delicious!”
Looking down at the little gluttonous cat in his arms, Huo Junhan was in a good mood and agreed.
After coaxing the girl in his arms until she fell asleep, Huo Junhan turned to look at the rising sun outside the window and wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
It wasn’t until Shen Yaowei fell asleep that he put her back on the bed. After tucking her in, he stood up and strode away.
The carriage was already prepared outside the General’s Mansion. Huo Junhan quickly entered the palace.
Outside the Noble Consort’s palace, Huo Junhan stopped in his tracks and looked up at the extravagant palace in front of him. He asked coldly, “Why isn’t His Majesty at the morning court at this hour?”
It was still early. Logically speaking, His Majesty should still be in the morning court discussing state affairs with the ministers.
After the morning court assembly, His Majesty would go to the imperial study to eat. Then, he would start to deal with the court affairs for the day. He was definitely not still in the harem at this time.
The eunuch leading the way broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground with a plop. “Your Highness, His Majesty hasn’t been feeling well recently, so he hasn’t gone to the morning court assembly for a few days. It’s all thanks to Your Highness’s care that he gradually recovered…”
When Huo Junhan heard such a despicable excuse, a cold smile appeared in his eyes as he strode into the Noble Consort’s palace.
At this moment, Huo Yuntian happened to rush out of the inner hall.
Huo Yuntian, who was still wearing yellow pajamas, looked at Huo Junhan awkwardly. “Why is Your Highness so early today?”
“The morning court session should be ending soon. Your Majesty, it’s getting late.” Huo Junhan didn’t need to bow. He stood tall in the hall, and the invisible pressure released from his body was enough to make people tremble.
Huo Yuntian’s expression stiffened.
At this moment, Bai Wuxia slowly walked out of the inner hall.
Compared to the previous prayer ceremony, Bai Wuxia’s appearance today was exceptionally luxurious. Her head was adorned with precious pearls, and her embroidered shoes were even embellished with pearls from the East Sea. She wore a light blue dress that complemented her slightly disheveled hair bun. With a faint blush on her cheeks and a captivating gaze, one couldn’t help but wonder what pleasurable activities transpired in the inner chamber before their appearance.
“Your Majesty, it’s all my fault for making His Highness wait. I especially came out to apologize to His Highness.” Although Bai Wuxia apologized, she walked straight to Huo Yuntian and hugged his arm..
