His Rui Chapter 191 - Managing A Bunch Of Fools

Chapter 191 - Managing A Bunch Of Fools

Xi Ying asked An Ju to stand outside the room and don't leave Li Rui alone.
After that, he went back to the banquet.
Despite how much he wished to lie beside Li Rui with her in his arms, he also needs to find out the bunch of fools to use this kind of cheap tricks with him.
After entering the banquet hall, he sat on his seat.
The banquet had started again after the little Prince was checked by Imperial Physician Xu again who assured the Emperor that Zhao Bo Jin was really fine now.
The Emperor had declared that a thorough investigation would be done to find the person who has drugged the prince.
After that, the little Prince was taken to his chambers.
After a few moments of looking around the banquet hall, Xi Ying picked the chopsticks and ate some food from his plate.
When he had swallowed down the food, he raised his head again to look around the banquet hall very casually.
No one could guess what he was trying to do or what he was thinking as his cold and indifferent eyes lingers around the banquet hall.
A moment later, he suddenly stood up from his seat with a frown on his forehead.
And then he left the banquet hall again.

Inside the banquet hall, Li Na eyes brightened when she saw Lord Xi going getting up from his seat. She looked at Li Caihong sitting beside herself whose all attention was on the stage.
"Caihong."
She leaned down and whispered in her sister's ear.
"Yes, Elder sister"
Li Caihong replied without moving her eyes away from the stage.
Li Na shook her head with frustration and glanced at the exit doors. She needs to follow him as soon as possible otherwise all of her hard work would go in vain if she let him go to Li Rui at this moment.
"Caihong…"
She gripped Li Caihong's arms hard enough to make her hiss in pain.
With a frown, Li Caihong looked at her sister finally who didn't care for her pain at all, and whispered hurriedly.
"I need to go somewhere. Manage here if someone asks for me."
Li Caihong's eyes widened when she heard her sister's words and she asked
"Is Elder Sister implementing our plan?"
Li Na just glanced at her sister once and then nodded her head in a hurry while looking at the entrance again.
"Ok, then don't worry about here. Caihong will manage everything."
Li Caihong assured her sister and Li Na sighed in relief.
She finally stood up from her seat and left the banquet hall without being noticed by anyone from her family while Li Caihong continued to enjoy the performance again.
As soon as Li Na stepped outside the banquet hall, she saw Xi Ying's fading back and immediately followed him.
While following Xi Ying, she didn't even notice where she was going.
It was an empty hall surrounded by empty rooms.
When she was finally a few steps away from Xi Ying, she couldn't help but blush thinking of what she was going to do with this cold and indifferent man a few minutes later.
Hasn't the drugged Li Rui had thrown herself in Lord Xi's arms and hence became his wife?
Now, she has drugged Lord Xi and she was ready to give herself to him at this difficult moment.
Wouldn't Lord Xi be moved when he would realize that she has sacrificed her chastity for him selflessly? As for the plan of drugging Lord Xi…she would put all the blame on Li Rui.
Once this happens, Lord Xi would have to take her responsibility and hence she would achieve her purpose.
She has planned everything perfectly already.
Li Na's heart became excited as she thought of her joyful future. Her pace fastened to reach near Xi Ying as soon as possible.
However, the next moment she suddenly felt heavy pain in her head and everything in front of her eyes went blur.
And after that Li Na was lying on the floor unconscious.
From behind the wall, An Si, in his eunuch's clothes, stepped out with a goofy smile on his lips. He then walked towards Li Na and bent down.
Indifferently, he removed Li Na's long and beautiful hair from her neck and then took out a needle from her neck.
When he raised his head, he saw his master turning around and walking towards him.
"Master"
An Si greeted Xi Ying while Xi Ying looked down at the unconscious Li Na with cold eyes.
He raised his head and looked at An Si.
"Do you know what you need to do?"
An Si nodded his head firmly and said
"Yes, Master. This servant will do his job right away."
Xi Ying just grunted in acknowledgment and then left from there.
'Let's see the second fool now.'
--------
Li Rui opened the door of her room with no sleepiness on her face and saw An Ju standing outside the door.
She didn't have any habit of sleeping in the daytime and hence she couldn't sleep for a long time no matter how much she tried.
An Ju bowed her head when she saw Li Rui.
"My Lady"
Li Rui nodded her head in acknowledgment and asked
"Where is Lord?"
An Ju lowered her head and said
"Master is inside the banquet hall."
An Ju didn't notice her finger clenching her skirt when she said these words but Li Rui noticed it. Her eyes were still calm as she was silent for a moment and then said
"Then we should also go there. Let's go."
Saying this, she turned around to close the door while behind her An Ju raised her head swiftly and shouted
"No"
Li Rui paused amidst her action and turned to look at An Ju again with raised eyebrows.
"Why not?"
An Ju composed her expression and said respectfully
"My Lady should rest. Master has ordered this servant to make sure that My Lady takes enough rest."
Since An Ju's head was lowered she didn't see the coldness in Li Rui's eyes.
"Are you sure that your Master has asked this to you? Because I am feeling as if you were left here to keep an eye on me."
