41 What is the Ninth Imperial Uncle’s Disease?

“General Shen, may I ask when I bullied Shen Yaowei?” Huo Zhao asked with a dark expression.

Instead of saying that Shen Liu’an’s whip had landed on his body, it was more like a slap to his face!

Shen Liu’an swung his whip again.

This time, Huo Zhao was prepared. He judged the trajectory of the whip and dodged to the side.

!!

In the end, Shen Liu’an had completely predicted his move. With a flip of his wrist, the whip drew a beautiful arc in midair and landed on Huo Zhao again.

Another bloody mark formed on Huo Zhao’s body as his expression twisted and he groaned in pain.

This time, the guards surrounding Shen Liu’an drew their swords and pointed them at him.

Seeing that Huo Zhao was sweating from the pain, Shen Liu’an sneered and said, “Yaoyao was wronged at the palace banquet. As her fiancée, you bullied her by not helping her.”

Huo Zhao did not expect Shen Liu’an to look for him because of this and was also fuming.

“I’m Shen Yaowei’s fiancée. When she encountered a problem, she didn’t come to me for help, but went to look for His Highness. She doesn’t care about her reputation, but what about my pride?!”

Shen Liu’an was almost amused by Huo Zhao. He pointed his whip at his face. “Prince Zhao, don’t you know how you treat Yaoyao? Have you ever helped Yaoyao when she was wronged? Don’t you know why she didn’t look for you?”

Huo Zhao was speechless again, and he could only look at Shen Liu’an with a gloomy gaze.

If someone else was shouting in front of him, he would definitely kill them immediately.

However, this person was Shen Liu’an, whom he could not afford to offend yet.

Half of the territory of the Northern Kingdom was conquered by the Shen family.

It was not that Shen Liu’an could not tell that Huo Zhao was angry but did not dare to say anything. He put away his whip and said coldly, “Prince Zhao, if you really think Yaoyao is not worthy of you, you can enter the palace and ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement. It’s not like my daughter has to marry you. However, if you’re unwilling to cancel the engagement, but dare to treat Yaoyao badly and let her suffer again, I definitely won’t let it go as easily as today!”

With that, Shen Liu’an turned around and strode away.

Killing intent emitted from his body, and no one dared to stop him.

Huo Zhao watched as Shen Liu’an left. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

He would definitely repay this humiliation double in the future!

…

Even when night fell, Shen Yaowei still did not wait for Huo Junhan to wake up.

“Miss Shen, eat something first,” Yan Bei said to Shen Yaowei, who was lying in front of the soft couch, as he placed the food on the small table.

Shen Yaowei kept staring at Huo Junhan and said to Yan Bei without turning around, “Thank you, but I’m not hungry yet.”

Yan Bei walked behind Shen Yaowei and glanced at Huo Junhan, who was lying on the bed.

Huo Junhan’s face was still pale, his eyes were closed, and he was frowning slightly.

“Miss Shen, do you think my master is scary?” Yan Bei asked softly.

Shen Yaowei shook her head without hesitation.

Yan Bei could not help but smile. He was not sure if Shen Yaowei would understand his words, but he could not help but say, “My master’s illness has acted up much quicker than before. Every time the illness ends, my master will fall into a deep sleep. Once he wakes up, he’ll be okay.”

He would be okay.

These words made Shen Yaowei’s heart tremble slightly.

“What illness does the Ninth Imperial Uncle have?” She could not help but look up at Yan Bei.
