His Rui

As soon as Li Rui finished writing the prescription, Xi Ying took the rice paper from her hand and threw it in Imperial Physician Xu's hands who immediately grabbed it with a wide smile as if Xi Ying was throwing some kind of treasure to him.

Yun Weilan just stood two steps away from Li Rui silently. She wanted to thank Li Rui again properly but Xi Ying didn't let anyone come close to Li Rui and turned to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Xi Ying wants his wife to rest for some time. Xi Ying hopes Your Majesty will understand."

Qin Wenya, Zhao Zhuang Chen, and Princess Wenling had pale faces as they looked at Li Rui.

Although Zhao Wenling was informed by her people that Li Rui used to change the poisonous medicinal paste sent to Li Rui's son every day, she never knew just how Li Rui came to know that medicinal paste sent to her son by the physician residing in Xi Manor was poisonous.

It was only today that she had found the answer to her question.

Although his son was saved, Zhao Zhuang Chen did not have much of a good expression, instead, his face was black as he looked at Li Rui whom Xi Ying had hidden behind himself completely..

He could feel people's gaze on him in every few seconds.

It could be said clearly that they thought that it was Yun Weilan who made the right decision at a right time and forced the Emperor himself to go with her decision.

And he…he was just a stupid prince who already had lost the title of the crown Prince and now would have lost his son because of his foolishness…

All of this …all of this was because of that woman, Li Rui, and Yun Weilan.

There was so much anger inside his chest but he didn't know just how he could let it off.

Qin Wenya opened her mouth to say something but before she could even utter what she wanted to say she heard Zhao Wang Lei raising his hand and saying.

"Zhen understands Minister Xi's wish. Send a few Imperial servants to serve Lady Li."

Xi Ying didn't say anything else and held Li Rui's hand. With his wife, he left the banquet hall ignoring General Li's glares at himself.

Looking at his back, Li Na and Princess Wenling, clenched their fists but soon they composed their expressions thinking of something.

As soon as Xi Ying left, the banquet hall was filled with whispers. Everyone finally saw the little prince lying on the couch whose face was just a little pale now compared to the bluish look more than half an hour ago.

"So Li Rui really treated the Young Prince?"

"It seems so. Look at his face. Also, didn't you hear she was saying that the little Prince would wake up within an hour?"

"Woah, I had thought that Li Rui was just a snobbish and arrogant woman…especially when she said to Madam Wen that she doesn't have any skill. However, now it seems like that she knows something that none of us knows."

The group of girls talked, talked, and talked just like before.

However, one thing had changed without everyone notice.

This time there were a few people who were not talking bad about Li Rui.

The wind of the Imperial City was now changing slowly.

-------

Li Na and Li Caihong heard other people praising Li Rui and felt very angry.

"Elder Sister, this Li Rui …when did she become so skilled? Could it be that nothing really happened to the Prince and he was alright but Li Rui pretended as if she had a cure that could treat the Prince and hence became great in everyone's eyes?"

Li Na rolled her eyes at Li Caihong's foolish assumptions.

"Caihong, sometimes you should bother to use your brain."

Li Caihong pouted at her sister's words and heard her continuing.

"Don't worry about this. Just leave everything to me. It is because she has gained something to back her. We just need to replace her and get that person on our side."

Li Caihong looked confused but Li Na didn't bother to explain. She just whispered

"Look ahead"

In the front, the scene was a little different.

General Li sighed as he looked at the shocked faces of everyone in his family.

"This…Heng, how did our Rui treat the prince?"

General Li really didn't know just how he should answer his wife's question. Not only Yi Jie but everyone else in his family was looking at him with a confused face.

He sighed and whispered tiredly.

"Yi Jie, we will talk later."

He was worried at this moment that this new revelation about Li Rui would bring more danger to her. Inside his heart, he could not help but blame Prime Minister Xi for putting him in this predicament.

"Father, I have listened to you for fourteen years. I have tried to understand you and kept quiet. Let me do what my heart wishes …just this once, please."

General Li rubbed his face in frustration as he remembered his daughter's words.

If only that stubborn man would not have fed his sweet talks to his daughter then he was sure that his daughter would never have disobeyed him.

"But Second Brother, how did our Rui treat the little Prince?"

General Li raised his head to look at his younger brother, Li Jiang looking at himself with a confused face.

General Li's face didn't have any expression as he looked at Li Jian who understood that he was just asking the same question as his sister-in-law.

"Second Brother, I mean… although all of us know that our Rui has always been interested in medicines…she was not that skilled, right? Then how did…"

General Li was now very bored of hearing the same question again and again so he silently glanced at his brother.

Li Jiang shut his mouth silently when he saw this older brother was glaring at him with narrowed eyes indirectly asking him to shut his mouth.

So he did.

However, inside his heart, he couldn't help but complain.

If only first brother was here then his second brother would have to tell everything without being asked again.
