His Rui

When Xi Ying stopped speaking, Yi Junjie's face didn't have any emotion.

However, his stiff posture and blank face was showing just how shocked he was. A few moments later, he swallowed and asked Xi Ying

"Are …you sure that it is the truth?"

So many revelations together have shocked Yi Junjie…

The Emperor had killed one of his consorts…putting that aside, there was doubt that he was not the chosen candidate for the throne in the first place.

He might have killed the previous Emperor and then himself became the Emperor.

"Unless the Empress Dowager is lying…everything is true."

Xi Ying spoke indifferently. In fact, he didn't doubt whatever he had found out until now. Zhao Wang Lei could really do so.

That man could do anything to get what he wanted.

To get that, he won't even care for the people who stood by his side and always worked for him, respected him and god knows what other things did.

He himself was a great example.

Yi Junjie was again silent for the next few moments. A few moments later, he said with a confused face

"Then what are we supposed to do now? Zhao Yuang Rong is already dead. Zhao Wang Lie had already ruled for so many years. Everyone already takes him as the Emperor of Xin. Her Majesty, The Empress Dowager …she should have come out with this truth long ago. Now suddenly she wanted to go against her own son. Lord Xi, don't you think that it is very suspicious."

Xi Ying nodded his head. He had thought the same after he had come to know of this secret.

"This Lord had asked her the same question but Her Majesty said that previously Zhao Wang Lei's plans didn't have any strength. However, this time he was planning something big."

Yi Junjie frowned. He was still confused with everything.

"Still….what can we do? Are we supposed to tell everyone how he stole the thrown from Zhao Yuang Rong? Who will even believe us? After so many years, there will be no evidence that can help us."

Xi Ying smiled lazily as he looked at Yi Junjie.

'It seems that Lord Yi had never done something that is wrong in other people's eyes.'

Who said that they were going to tell all this to common people? Was not it already obvious that they were going to kill Zhao Wang Lei?

How could Yi Junjie not see this!

Still, to enlighten the na?ve Lord Yi, Xi Ying told him.

"We will kill him …the same way he killed the previous Emperor. We will kill him."

Yi Junjie's eyes widened with shock.

"Have you gone insane?"

Yi Junjie suddenly stood up from the chair making the chair fall down on the ground. His eyes were sharp and cold as he looked at Xi Ying and said

"You will be accused of treason if you did that. But this Lord doesn't care about that.? Lord Xi should still remember that Rui is your wife in such cases, not only the accused but his whole clan is executed publicly.? This Lord would not let her go through that."

Xi Ying looked at Yi Junjie with equally cold eyes.

He was very curious to know as to why Yi Junjie thought that he didn't know all this already.

Yi Junjie was very angry on seeing Xi Ying's indifferent face.

"Lord Xi, this Lord is telling you today. If you really wish to do such a thing then first sign a separation document with Li Rui. I won't let you put her life on danger."

Xi Ying's eyes narrowed and they looked colder than before.

He didn't like how Yi Junjie was talking to him about Li Rui …as if he didn't have any right on Li Rui. Ignoring the urge to kick Yi Junjie out of Xi Manor, Xi Ying said coldly

"If this Lord didn't do this, then Rui's life is already in danger."

Yi Junjie looked confused again Xi Ying elaborated in the same cold voice

"Those attacks on Rui…they were planned by Zhao Wang Lei."

It took Yi Junjie again a few moments to register what Xi Ying just said.

Zhao Wang Lei wanted to kill Li Rui, but why?

He had always thought that it was the princess who had sent those shadow guars to kill Li Rui.

"This Lord is yet to find out why he is doing this?"

Xi Ying told Yi Junjie before he could question her 'why'.

"Now Lord Yi, this Lord will tell you one thing. Rui's life matters to me more than you can ever think because this Lord is nothing without her."

Yi Junjie silently looked at Xi Ying's firm eyes when Xi Ying said this.

Was Xi Ying so capable of lying because he couldn't really find any sign that he was lying…or perhaps he was not even lying in the first place!

Yi Junjie really hoped that it was the latter. He doesn't want Li Rui to face any more pain or suffering.

The silence lingered inside the room for a while until Yi Junjie said suddenly.

"Then this Lord will find out more about this matter."

Xi Ying's eyes narrowed again but he didn't say anything as he pondered over what Yi Junjie said.

It should not be any problem if he let Yi Junjie investigate this matter, right? On his side too, he could continue the investigation. At least one of them will find something out.

A few moments later, he nodded his head accepting Yi Junjie's wish to investigate. Yi Junjie was satisfied and stood up to leave.

He didn't want to wait anymore to find out more about all this. Now that he knew who was the person to plan all those attacks, he didn't want to be irresponsible and give that person another chance to attack Li Rui.

Yi Junjie was about to say that he was leaving when Xi Ying spoke before him.

"It will be better if Lord Yi finds out everything sooner. After all, it is not only Rui's life that is in danger. Our unborn child is also in a very dangerous situation."

And Yi Junjie's whole body seemed to have frozen after hearing these words.
