His Rui

Chapter 758: The Panicked Zhao Wang Lei

His phoenix eyes flickered with rage. He never knew that Zhao Zhang Wei who knew everything was living under his nose alive.      

However, he also understood that he couldn't manipulate Zhao Zhang Wei. If the latter was so capable of hiding his true desires of hatred for so many years then he must be very intelligent and not a dumb man like his elder son.      

Zhao Wang Lei's sharp eyes suddenly looked at the others. His eyes sharpened more when he looked at Xi Ying.      

No wonder the young prime minister was visiting Xinhe Palace so frequently these days. He was so easily fooled by Xi Ying because he thought that the latter was always loyal to him.      

Seeing that Li Heng was also together with them, he couldn't help but wonder if Xi Ying knew more than what he should know.      

His fists clenched and bitterness flashed across his eyes when he saw his mother's cold and indifferent face.      

"Zhen had wanted to see Mother Empress for so many days…never had thought that would see her like this."     

The Empress Dowager stayed silent and never said anything.      

All of them seemed to know it. It only meant that all of them needed to be killed…except his mother. His mother had already known everything but never said anything. So Zhao Wang Lei didn't consider her a threat.      

He was after all her son.      

It could be that she took this impulsive decision because of her anger that had accumulated for so many years but she would never be brave enough to harm him.      

That was what Zhao Wang Lei thought.      

Zhao Wang Lei's phoenix eyes flickered with coldness.     

Perhaps because Xi Ying was paying attention to Zhao Wang Lei's every move so he noticed it immediately when Zhao Wang Lei flicked his finger.      

It was not soon that almost twenty to thirty shadow guards suddenly surrounded them.      

However, the Emperor was stupid if he thought that he had come here without any manpower.      

Zhao Wang Lei knew that.      

However, he also had a plan in his mind. In his eyes, amongst all these people, Xi Ying was capable enough to kill all his shadow guards.      

He was aware of how capable Xi Ying was. So he decided to go and attack Xi Ying himself. He had wanted to keep Xi Ying busy while his shadow guards would fight with the people that were on the other side.      

In his mind, he had already assumed that the people on other side would be less than he had. And more people would be from his mother's side.      

She still has the people who protected his father on her side to protect others. As for others, he didn't think they could bring many because he thought that they didn't have that much manpower. After all, the Empire rules didn't allow them to do so.      

However, Zhao Wang Lei was very wrong.      

As soon as he flicked his finger, Xi Ying also whispered     

"Attack."     

Not even a second took his shadow guards to fly out of the tunnel and attack the people who have surrounded the Imperial Chambers.         

Seeing that Xi Ying had already started, Yi Junjie, Zhao Zhang Wei, and General Li also ordered their men to attack.      

Surprised, Zhao Wang Lei was suddenly full of conflict.     

He realized that he seemed to have underestimated them. He couldn't help but panic for a moment.      

However, this was Imperial Palace. He suddenly calmed and started to kick everything around him to make as large a noise as he could.      

Soon the Imperial soldiers would come.     

Xi Ying smiled coldly when he saw his actions. He calmly walked toward the panicked Emperor.      

"No one will come."     

Xi Ying said coldly as he stood side by side with Zhao Zhang Wei who was simply enjoying this view. He wanted to see this panic in Zhao Wang Lei's eyes for so many years. The same panic and fear that he had seen in his mother's eyes that night.      

When Zhao Wang Lei heard Xi Ying's words, he didn't seem to believe him and continued to throw whatever was around him.      

However, Xi Ying was saying the truth.      

No one knew except him and his people that all the soldiers and Eunuchs in the Imperial Chambers and nearby corridor were given the food that was mixed with sleeping powder prepared by his dear wife.     

He had sent the powder rto Yun Weilan who gave it to Zhao Zhuang Chen.      

And the powder was mixed in the food by Zhao Zhuang Chen's people.      

They would not wake up for a long time.      

He was not a fool who would invade Imperial chambers and leave Zhao Wang Lei the way to gather people.      

That would make the Imperial soldiers leave only one way and that was to fight with them to protect the Emperor when they didn't even know that their Emperor didn't even find their life worthy.      

Because if he did then he would have never entered into such a deal with the Emperor of the neighboring Empire.      

Zhao Wang Lei also seemed to realize that what Xi Ying was saying was true soon because no one entered the Imperial Chambers even after so much noise.      

"Eunuch Wang"     

This time he simply shouted, however, no one came.      

While Xi Ying and Zhao Zhang Wei gave him enough time to realize that he was stuck here and he didn't have any way other than to die from their hands.      

Zhao Wang Lei watched as his shadow guards were killed one by one.      

His phoenix eyes went colder with every passing second and he looked at Xi Ying with clenched fists in anger.      

"Prime Minister Xi, attacking an Emperor and invading his chambers like this…you can be charged for the treason. Li Heng and Yi Junjie…you should also know the consequences your clan will face because of this."     

Zhao Wang Lei said coldly as he looked at General Li and Yi Junjie while saying his later words.          

General Li and Yi Junjie didn't say anything in response. It was Xi Ying who chuckled coldly at Zhao Wang Lei's words and said      

"You should not worry about us at this moment about yourself."     

Xi Ying said coldly and Zhao Wang Lei's anger increased when he heard his words.      

The young prime minister was not even bothering to use 'His Majesty' now.     

His eyes flashed suddenly and he looked at his few left shadow guards and shouted suddenly.      

"Go to Xi Manor and Li Manor and don't leave anyone alive."     

He had only this way to say this to his shadow guards because he was surrounded. His shadow guards heard him and tried to leave the Imperial Chambers.      

However, Xi Ying didn't even need to order because his shadow guards soon caught Zhao Wang Lei's shadow guards alive and killed them.     

The Empress Dowager stood silently a few steps away watching all the bloodshed. Her eyes were calm and her face had an indifferent expression.      

It was Xi Ying who had a face that screamed that he could kill anyone …, especially Zhao Wang Lei.      

"You still dare to think of attacking this Lord's Manor, Zhao Wang Lei? So daring of you."     

With these words, Xi Ying took out his sword and attacked Zhao Wang Lei.      

Everyone was left surprised by his sudden action but they didn't stop him.      

It was obvious that Xi Ying was very angry because of Zhao Wang Lei's order just now.      

Even the thought of someone attacking Xi Manor where his wife and son were alone without him made Xi Ying wish to destroy this whole Empire.      

Did he really think that he would let things go the same way as they went in his past life?      

Xi Ying's eyes were covered with a thin layer of frost. Zhao Wang Lei was not weaponless.      

The moment he had seen Xi Ying and others inside his chambers, he had quietly hidden his sword behind him on the bed. Hence when he saw Xi Ying's sword, he immediately picked his sword from the bed and started to fight with Xi Ying.      

As an Emperor, he obviously was a capable swordsman. Xi Ying was not surprised by his skill.      

However, he was still more skilled than Zhao Wang Lei at such things.      

With his one swift move, Zhao Wang Lei couldn't hold the sword any longer and the sword fell down to the ground a few steps away.      

His hand was bleeding slightly.      

Zhao Wang Lei looked at his sword, his bleeding hand, and then at Xi Ying with rage.      

"Xi Ying! You are an ungrateful b****d. Zhen gave you so much freedom and respect in this Empire and you are repaying Zhen like this."     

The words again made Xi Ying laugh coldly.          

"You gave me the freedom and respect?"     

He stepped closer to Zhao Wang Lei and looked at his face coldly as he said      

"It was this Lord who won it. My father, my ancestors, all of them have always worked hard for it."     

"And they were loyal to Imperial Clan."     

Zhao Wang Lei shouted in rage interrupting Xi Ying.      

At his words, Xi Ying was only filled with more anger. He felt more and more disgusted with Zhao Wang Lei.      

"If you think that this Lord will be loyal to you when you are scheming this Lord for so many years then you are very wrong, Zhao Wang Lei. For a person like you, this Lord only has one punishment and that is death."     

And Zhao Wang Lei was shocked again.      

He had never imagined that Xi Ying knew about his schemes.      

But how did he get to know about all this!
