His Rui

Zhao Zhang Wei was very shocked after he heard what Xi Ying said.

A part of him wanted to believe that Xi Ying was just lying. He wanted to believe that he was saying all this because, in the end, he wanted him to accept his second condition too, something...he was never going to do.

However, seeing the sad smile and longing-filled eyes of Xi Ying, he knew that Xi Ying was not lying at all.

Lady Li didn't really love him ...the kind of love Xi Ying wanted from her.

Zhao Zhang Wei looked away from the young Prime minister who came out of his trance and finally focused his attention on Zhao Zhang Wei.

"I had my son who made my wife stay, Your Highness. However, Your Highness doesn't even have that."

The words again hit Zhao Zhang Wei making him realize something more.

Xi Ying was very merciless. Zhao Zhang Wei could not help but think so as he raised his head to look at the young Prime minister's emotionless face.

"I still won't let her go."

Zhao Zhang Wei said firmly.

"Qingqing won't leave me. She might not like me now but she is still here. I will win her heart again. She won't leave me."

So that was how he had been assuring himself.

However, not only Xi Ying but Zhao Zhang Wei also knew that this was just a fake assurance.

If Zhao Zhang Wei was really so confident to make everything right between him and Yi Huiqing then why would he have such dreams in the first place?

"Does Your Highness think that Princess Consort Yi won't divorce Your Highness because she is afraid of having a bad reputation?"

Zhao Zhang Wei went silent at Xi Ying's question.

A part of him really thought so. And this was the only thing he thought was in his favor.

Getting separated from an Imperial Prince won't only stain Yi Huiqing's reputation but her clan's too.

It was perhaps too cruel that he was happy because of this but what could he do.

That was the only thing that was making Yo Huiqing stay or that was what he thought.

"That is not how a woman's heart is won."

Xi Ying whispered and then sighed.

If Zhao Zhang Wei went ahead like this then he didn't even know for how long Hi Huiqing will really stay in the Imperial Palace.

Till now, Yi Junjie had not done anything but Xi Ying was sure that if Lord Yi got to know what all Yi Huiqing had gone through in this Imperial Palace then he would do anything to make her sister leave the horrible Palace.

"Your Highness"

Xi Ying looked at Zhao Zhang Wei with a serious expression on her face.

"This Lord in the end just wants his wife to stay happy and since a part of her happiness lies in your wife's happiness then this Lord would do anything to make sure that she is happy as well. If you can't make her happy then there will be so..."

"Prime Minister Xi."

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with rage as he interrupted Xi Ying sharply.

However, when had Xi Ying feared anyone. Regardless of Zhao Zhang Wei's cold and sharp eyes, he continued

"Someone who will care for her happiness, unlike Your Highness."

"I do care for her."

Zhao Zhang Wei said firmly. He stepped closer to Xi Ying as he stared into Xi Ying's eyes coldly.

"She is my woman and I do care for her ...a lot. I don't need to prove that to anyone."

"Not even to her?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Zhang Wei questioned Xi Ying this time in reply to a question.

"She doesn't want to see my face. I have already pushed her away so far. Do you want me to go there and linger in front of her eyes when she doesn't wish to see me?"

There was a kind of helplessness in his voice. Though his words seemed to express his frustration, Zhao Zhang Wei was really seeking some advice from Xi Ying this time.

He was so intelligent.

Did he have some solution to this problem too?

"Yes."

Xi Ying said calmly.

He elaborated with the same calm face when he saw Zhao Zhang Wei looking at himself in confusion.

"You did some mistake and now when it is your turn to accept it you are just stepping away from her. You want her to stay but are you making any efforts for that?"

Xi Ying disregarded any courtesy and showed the mirror of reality to Zhao Zhang Wei.

He would actually be happier if Zhao Zhang Wei understood now and made efforts for this relationship.

From what he understood, Yi Huiqing really liked Zhao Zhang Wei. However, it was Zhao Zhang Wei's indifference and lack of any interest that hurt her. It was the fact that he hid the truth from her.

However, now Xi Ying could see that Zhao Zhang Wei must have some valid reason for hiding all this.

He didn't want to go there but he still could try to give some direction to Zhao Zhang Wei. If he really liked Yi Huiqing, then he should make efforts otherwise he should not assume that Yi Huiqing couldn't leave him.

Because if he wanted he could do anything.

Zhao Zhang Wei was really pondering over what Xi Ying said.

"She is hurt. She is still mourning her childloss but you left her alone. You say that you care for her. You want her to be happy but did you even try to show it to her? Did you ever make her feel that you really like her?"

" Did you even try to tell her that you really regret what you did?"

No!

Zhao Zhang Wei had only one answer to Xi Ying's almost every question.

He stayed silent as he continued to think over Xi Ying's words while Xi Ying let him think.

"This Lord will take his leave now. Hope your Highness gets better soon."

After saying this, Xi Ying left the Xinhe Palace while Zhao Zhang Wei was lost in his own thoughts now.
