His Rui

Chapter 665 The Seventh Day

　　Ahhhh!

　　A scream sounded in the garden of the Imperial Chambers. 

　　Zhao Wang Lei who was getting ready inside his chambers frowned deeply. 

　　Eunuch Wang also looked toward the gardens. 

　　The maid who was helping him immediately bowed her head and said respectfully 

　　"This servant will go and check what is wrong, Your Majesty."

　　The maid left and when she came back, she had a deathly pale face. 

　　"Y…Y…our Maj…esty…there …there"

　　Eunuch Wang finished tying the belt on his master's waist and rebuked the maid

　　"Speak clearly."

　　However, the maid seemed to have lost her voice. 

　　Zhao Wang Lei looked very displeased seeing the stuttering maid. 

　　He didn't want to waste much time and directly walked toward the Imperial Garden. 

　　However, when he saw what was wrong there, his face was deathly cold. 

　　The whole Imperial Garden was filled with dead bodies. 

　　The bodies of his shadow guards. 

　　Eunuch Wang gulped when he saw his master's face. However, it was something that he had already expected. 

　　"Drag them out of the Imperial Palace. No one should come to know of this."

　　He heard his master saying coldly. 

　　Eunuch Wang understood who he was talking about. 

　　He was talking about the gardener who had screamed before and the maid who had come to check. 

　　He obeyed and soon did what was asked. 

　　"Clean this."

　　Zhao Wang Lei ordered and then left from there with a cold face. 

　　Eunuch Wang sighed and cleaned the Imperial Graden with the rest of the shadow guards. 

　　Even those who were left were now lesser than those who had died already. 

　　He couldn't help but feel unsafe suddenly. 

　　He had an intuition that his master would face very dangerous consequences if he didn't change his strategy. 

　　.

　　.

　　It was the seventh day of the treatment. 

　　A quite special day because today Li Rui was going to end the treatment and take out all the needles from the old master's body. 

　　It was during the afternoon that she did so. 

　　Xi Ying, Gu Li, Rong Ting, and the five physicians (leaving Physician Ruan) were inside the tent as they watched Li Rui taking out the needles. 

　　Li Rui took out the needles from the head first. 

　　Gu Li's eyes narrowed when he saw that the black spot that had been there a week ago disappeared slowly in front of his eyes. 

　　Not only he, but everyone else was watching this. 

　　They saw how the black spot traveled from the old master's neck (the right side of the neck) to his right hand.

　　Everyone had their eyes wide with shock and surprise. 

　　Though Xi Ying looked calm, he was also surprised to see whatever was happening. 

　　They saw Li Rui taking the knife and then suddenly making a cut on the old master's finger. 

　　Gu Li was surprised again but didn't stop her. He trusted Li Rui very much. He knew that she must be having some reason behind doing so. 

　　And sure enough, he saw some kind of black blood pouring out of the finger. It was not a small amount. So much black blood flowed out. 

　　Li Rui immediately collected it in a bowl. 

　　The old physician wondered silently why she was doing this. 

　　However, he didn't speak because he didn't want to disturb her. 

　　After the black blood stopped coming out, Li Rui tied the wound after applying some ointment.     

　　Finally, she took out the needles from the other part of the body. 

　　"Senior Brother"

　　Li Rui turned to look at Gu Li and said 

　　"You can now wash Master's body. Don't let the water touch the wound. Also, give him the same diet he had been having in the past week."

　　Gu Li nodded his head. 

　　It had been difficult to feed the old master because he had been lying continuously. Most of the content would not go inside but he would still make sure that he would have at least one bowl. Everything…from feeding to washing his master's body was his work and in his absence, he would make sure that only a shadow guard who could do it sincerely would do. 

　　Looking at his master's weak body, Gu Li would always feel distressed. 

　　He immediately ordered the cook to make a soup that the old master had been drinking in the past week. 

　　Li Rui left the tent with other physicians who were very exhausted.

　　"Rui, when should he wake up?" 

　　The old physician asked Li Rui as soon as they stepped outside the tent. 

　　The shadow guards who heard his question couldn't help but listen with their ears perked. 

　　However, they were bound to getting disappointed when Li Rui shook her head and said 

　　"I am not sure, Grandpa."

　　The old physician was surprised but then smiled sheepishly. 

　　"Yes, Yes. I am so foolish. That depends on one's body."

　　The old physician shook his head and went to his tent while the shadow guards looked at each other with disappointed faces.

　　However, they were surprised when they heard Li Rui suddenly saying

　　"He will wake up."

　　They turned to look at her with surprised faces. 

　　Li Rui smiled softly and said 

　　"I don't when but Master will wake up for sure. The poison is out already."

　　The confidence with which she said these words brought them also confidence and they couldn't help but nod their heads as if showing that they believed her. 

　　Li Rui finally went to her tent to check on her son. 

　　After some time, when Xi Ying came back to the tent, he found Li Rui asleep with their son on the bed. He smiled and silently walked to the bed without making any noise. 

　　He wanted to ask Li Rui if they should leave now. 

　　He needed to go to the Imperial City as a lot of things were pending. He still needs to find out who had poisoned her mother and if Zhao Wang Lei had made any other move. 

　　However, somehow he could guess that she would not want to leave before the old master would woke up. 

　　Xi Ying decided to wait for two days. If the old master still didn't wake up then he would have to talk to Li Rui about leaving the Youxio valley. 

　　He can't leave her here alone and he also can't stay here for long. 

　　With another sigh, he also lay down beside her and with his arm around her waist closed his eyes to sleep for some time.
