His Rui

After exiting the Imperial Study room, Xi Ying just wanted to go to Xi Manor as soon as possible.

However, he had not expected to see Princess Wenling standing outside the Imperial study room as soon as he came out.

His face didn't change even a little bit. He behaved as if he never saw her and stepped forward to leave.

Princess Wenling was very hurt when she saw his cold and indifferent behavior. She had never put aside her self-respect for anyone else. But for Xi Ying, she was putting aside almost everything that was very important in a girl's life.

However, she still didn't seem to melt his cold heart.

Zhao Wenling suddenly felt very frustrated. She immediately ran forward and blocked Xi Ying's way.

The old nanny that had been standing behind the princess was satisfied seeing this. She informed the princess as soon as she got to know that Prime Minister Xi was here.

And the princess who was obsessed with Xi Ying came running to have a glance of Prime Minister Xi.

She glanced towards Eunuch Wang and saw that he also looked satisfied seeing this. Inside her heart, the old nanny was very sure that her master would also be happy with her.

After all, her work was to manipulate the princess and she was doing it very well.

"Prime Minister Xi"

Zhao Wenling who was standing in front of Xi Ying currently called out in a trembling voice when she saw Xi Ying's cold eyes.

Despite being very afraid inside her heart, she gathered her courage and said with hopeful eyes

"This princess wishes to have a chat with Prime Minister Xi."

Xi Ying's face didn't have any emotion as he said mercilessly

"This minister doesn't have free time. I have my wife waiting for me at home."

Princess Wenling flinched for a moment when she heard the word 'wife' from Xi Ying's mouth. She gulped the resentment that was boiling inside her heart and said with a tight smile.

"This princess is sure that Lady Li won't mind if Prime Minister Xi would spend some time with this princess. After all, this princess and Lady Li have been very good friends once in the past."

Xi Ying smiled coldly at these words.

He looked at Princess Wenling with a mocking and cold smile and said

"This minister knows very well just how princess had fulfilled that friendship with this minister's wife."

Princess Wenling's face almost went pale at these words.

For a moment, she thought that Xi Ying knew something that no one knew. That …it was she who had put the false blame on Li Rui for stealing her hairpin fourteen years ago.

However, the next moment she denied her own thought.

Xi Ying was just pretending to care for Li Rui.

Could he be so intimate with her that Li Rui will tell her the things from fourteen years ago?

Either she didn't want to believe this or she was too sure that An San would never lie to her. He had said that his master hated Li Rui very much.

So Xi Ying would surely not hate her for what she did to Li Rui.

With all these unreasonable or reasonable reasons, Princess Wenling very nicely stopped her mind and heart that had finally started working on their own.

Until now, she had just heard the nanny's words and done everything according to that. For once, she had seen something right through Xi Ying's words but illusionistic mind and her obsessed heart stopped her to see through them.

Maintaining a smile on her lips, she said

"Yes, this princess had always tried given importance to this friendship even though …Rui doesn't seem to appreciate it."

Princess Wenling sad sadly trying to gain some sympathy from Xi Ying.

Disgust flashed through Xi Ying's eyes seeing her acts. He couldn't help but want to pull out that tongue that took Li Rui's name.

His Rui was kind to even the people like Li Chen and Li Caihong …who did everything in their power to hurt her.

Li Chen hurt her in a way he doesn't know yet but for Li Caihong, he knew it. But Li Rui still gave that special ointment to treat the scar on her face.

And now this Princess Wenling.

Just because her young self had been afraid that Princess Wenling would be sad to live without having any friends in the Imperial Palace, she went against her father and made him allow her to come to the Imperial Palace.

However, the same princess hurt her in the worst way that was possible.

Xi Ying didn't even want to stay there anymore and look at the stupid princess' face. So he stepped sideways to leave again. However, Princess Wenling was again filled with frustration when she saw how he looked at her coldly and indifferently and now he was trying to leave again.

Her hand without thinking rose to grab Xi Ying's sleeves.

However, Xi Ying who noticed the princess' actions from the corner of his eyes immediately avoided her hand and looked at her sharply.

"Her Highness should stay within her limits. If not others, at least respect yourself."

'No other woman except Rui could touch him.'

Zhao Wenling's eyes were filled with tears when she saw his reaction to her touch. He could let Li Rui touch him with whom he was just pretending to destroy her clan but he couldn't let her touch even his clothes.

"You are so cruel, Xi Y…Prime Minister Xi."

Zhao Wenling saw how Xi Ying looked at her when she was about to call him by his name and immediately corrected herself.

However, his cold stare again filled her heart with resentment not for Xi Ying...but for Li Rui.

Why could she not get everything without even doing anything like Li Rui?

"Am I not beautiful like Li Rui?"

She suddenly whispered while staring at Xi Ying with tear-filled eyes.

It must be the reason, She couldn't deny that Li Rui was beautiful.

Perhaps that's why he let Li Rui touch him and even touched her even though he was just pretending.

However, Xi Ying's face remained expressionless at the imposed question on him. His eyes were filled with frustration because he just wanted to leave but the stupid princess was not letting him pass. The stupid question uttered by her only increased his frustration.

"Beauty is not everything, Her Highness."

He couldn't help but tell her coldly.

Steeping forward a little he looked at Princess Wenling with cold eyes and said in a voice that was only audible to princess Wenling and him.

"Even if you will stand naked in front of me, I will still not glance at your seriously. But she doesn't even need to do anything and can have all of my attention."

Princess Wenling stepped back as if she had been just hit by a big force.

She obviously knew who the other she was in Xi Ying's sentence.

She could not lie to herself any longer.

Xi Ying loved Li Rui.

He loved her.

Xi Ying's eyes remained indifferent seeing the princess' pale face. He was now not afraid that the stupid princess will try to harm Li Rui again.

The Emperor will not let her do anything now. He was very sure of that.

Hence, he indifferently walked away from there.
