His Rui

Chapter 557 Will Yi Huiqing Wake Up?

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't accompany Xi Ying when the latter went to Imperial chambers with the convoy's ministers.

He, instead, went to Xinhe Palace or more precisely Lantai Courtyard.

Lin Daiyu as told by Xi Ying was standing outside Yi Huiqing's chambers to stop anyone who tried to enter outside only.

Xi Ying didn't want anyone to know that Li Rui entered the Imperial Palace and treated Yi Huiqing.

After all, during the banquet, he had said that Li Rui couldn't attend the banquet because she was feeling unwell.

Especially if someone saw her and came to know that she was pregnant, then it might not be good for her.

Standing outside her mistress' chambers, Lin Daiyu kept her eyes everywhere.

However, her face went pale when she saw that it was Zhao Zhang Wei who was walking toward the entrance.

"Your Highness"

Lin Daiyu bowed her head when she saw Zhao Zhang Wei was in front of her. However, the prince didn't even acknowledge her greeting and tried to walk past her.

Lin Daiyu's eyes widened seeing this and she said immediately.

"Your Highness, this servant is ordered by Lady Li not to let anyone enter wangfei's chambers."

Zhao Zhang Wei's face that didn't look good already had a cold expression after he heard Lin Daiyu's words. He remembered that Li Rui had indeed asked him to leave the room when he was inside.

However, at that time, he had left silently because he also wanted to see the man who had attacked him but hurt Yi Huiqing instead.

Now he wanted to be by his wife's side and no one could stop him.

Lin Daiyu was scared when she saw his cold face.

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't even say anything and ignoring her words, he started to walk towards the entrance again when Lin Daiyu spoke again.

"Your Highness, Wangfei is without clothes inside. It is not appropriate for Your Highness to go inside."

Zhao Zhang Wei who had paused amidst his steps looked as if he had heard a joke. He scoffed a moment later and then turned to look at his wangfei's maidservant.

"What did you say just now?"

Lin Daiyu lowered her head silently when she heard his question. She swallowed when she heard him continuing.

"The woman who is lying on the bed inside the room is Benwangfei if you don't remember."

Lin Daiyu nodded her head and whispered in a low voice.

"This servant apologizes, Your Highness."

She also knew that her excuse to stop Zhao Zhang Wei was not valid but Lin Daiyu's heart was also filled with a little resentment for Zhao Zhang Wei. From the day, she had got to know that her mistress had been trying her best to avoid any kind of contact with the second prince, she had been trying to do the same.

Now today, when her mistress was hurt because of saving the prince, she felt very distressed for her mistress.

Perhaps she was too courageous or presumptous, but she wished that Zhao Zhang Wei would not even linger around her mistress anymore.

The only thing he had given to her mistress till now was pain.

So what was he doing here now!

However, Lin Daiyu also knew that she didn't have any right to express her presumptuous thoughts regardless of how much she cared for her mistress.

Helpless, she could only watch as Zhao Zhang Wei went inside her mistress' chambers.

When Zhao Zhang Wei stepped inside Yi Huiqing's chambers, he saw her lying in the same atet on the bed as he had left her. The difference was that now her clothes has been removed.

Her chest and lower part of her body was covered with a blanket and he could only see her naked shoulders telling him that what Lin Daiyu was telling him was indeed correct.

However, he didn't look bothered and stepped further inside.

His eyes flashed with surprise, fear, panic and shock when he saw that Li Rui was planting some needles inside Yi Huiqing's body.

This…Zhao Zhang Wei knew that this technique was called acupuncture and it was especially used to let the poison out of someone's body.

He had read this in a book but he also knew that acupuncture was not something that anyone could master.

He was scared that Li Rui would do something wrong and hurt Yi Huiqing.

The woman surely raised her head to look at him when she felt his presence. Zhao Zhang Wei saw a small frown on Li Rui's forehead and then without saying anything, she continued to do her own work.

Zhao Zhang Wei who was ready to stop her suddenly paused. Li Rui looked so focused and her every action looked experienced.

He gritted his teeth and stopped himself from stopping Li Rui.

He had seen how much Yi Huiqing trusted Li Rui. Perhaps he should trust his wife's trust once.

Zhao Zhang Wei's heart would always squeeze inside his chest and a deep frown would mar his face when he would see Li Rui planting a needle in some part of Yi Huiqing's body.

However, the woman didn't even blink her eyes as she did all this.

He tried to comfort himself by saying again and again that it was solely because Li Rui was very experienced in all this.

He stood there silently, never dared to make a single noise because he feared that he would disturb Li Rui.

"You…"

It was only when Li Rui suddenly made a cut on Yi Huiqing's finger, Zhao Zhang Wei couldn't stop himself from speaking.

He stepped forward to push Li Rui away from Yi Huiqing but then he saw a trail of black blood coming out of Yi Huiqing's fingers.

"It is the poison."

Li Rui told him calmly as she let the blood flow out in a bowl.

She would need to study the poison in the blood and then see if there would be any side-affects left in Yi Huiqing's body.

Zhao Zhang Wei surprisingly seemed to believe her easily this time. He stood silently as Li Rui removed the needles from Yi Huiqing's body one by one.

After all the needles were removed, Li Rui started to stand up from the bed.

"Is she alright now?"

Zhao Zhang Wei asked her immediately.

Li Rui stopped amidst her steps. She looked at Zhao Zhang Wei for a few moments silently and then said calmly

"We will get to know in half a shichen!"
