His Rui Chapter 205 - A Very Deep Misunderstanding

Chapter 205 - A Very Deep Misunderstanding

Outside the room, Imperial Physician Xu smiled tightly seeing that they were in front of Second Miss Li's room.
He clearly was displeased that they reached in so less time.
He had thought that he would talk to Lady Li and try to find out how she learned a rare thing like acupuncture but it seemed he had lost this opportunity.
Imperial Physician Xu sighed.
Inside his heart, he had already decided to make the life of that person a living hall who had decided that Second Miss Li will live in this room.
Working on some medicinal paste given by his master inside his practice room, Sun Chao sneezed suddenly. Unknown to the upcoming trouble which he had created for himself unintentionally, he just sniffed and then continued his work.
"You will stay here. I'll go inside and see her."
Li Rui said to An Ju who didn't seem to agree with her decision.
"But My Lady…"
Li Rui looked at Imperial Physician Xu and said
"Elder, Can you please tell Rui how is the security of Yao Yue hall."
Imperial Physician Xu was not stupid to not know that Li Rui was asking him this because she wants her maid to stay outside.
If Imperial Physician Xu had decided something then he would cross every limit of shamelessness to get it.
Since he had already tried to flatter her so much….why would he hesitate to help her here?
"The security of Yao Yue hall…My Lady, you might not believe me but I can assure you that without my permission, even a single leaf does not try to move in Yao Yue hall."
The three of them were standing under the sky and there were many trees around them.
So An Ju who heard Imperial Physician Xu's words looked at one of the tree and scoffed seeing how its leaves were swaying without any fear.
"All these leaves…"
She pointed towards the swaying leaves while looking at Imperial Physician Xu who also followed the direction of her finger cooperatively.
"Ask them to stop moving right now. I wish to know just how does Imperial Physician Xu give them permission to move and stop moving."
As soon as An Ju finished her words, Imperial Physician Xu's face went bright red…unknown whether it was because of anger or humiliation..
Imperial Physician Xu looked at An Ju's face to see if there were any signs of mockery there however he couldn't find any.
An Ju was still looking at him solemnly as if waiting for him to do what she had just said.
Even Li Rui couldn't help but look at him once.
Imperial Physician Xu's had an incredulous expression on his face as he looked at An Ju and said
"Girl…have you ever heard the word 'proverb'?"
An Ju frowned and nodded her head remembering that An Si had asked her the same question before. The difference was very small in An Si and Imperial Physician Xu's question.
An Si had called her a 'boy' and Imperial Physician Xu called her a 'girl'.
Imperial Physician Xu saw that she was nodding her head and he felt very angry.
"So are you trying to make me mad by asking such a stupid question."
An Ju frowned and Li Rui already knew that An Ju was not doing any such thing. Even if she was trying to do such a stupid thing, then according to her she would not gain anything. So she didn't want to exceed this matter.
Imperial Physician Xu also didn't seem to have any wish to involve himself in such a stupid talk so he said in clear and direct words.
"It is guarded very strictly, after all, there are so many precious poisons and medicines to protect in Yao Yue hall."
Although Imperial Physician Xu said so, An Ju just didn't want to leave Li Rui alone as she was ordered by her master and Rui could see this very clearly.
So Li Rui turned to look at Imperial Physician Xu and said
"Can elder accompany Rui to meet her sister?"
Imperial Physician Xu who was more than eager to spend time with Li Rui immediately nodded her head. Without giving any chance to An Ju to oppose Lady Li, he opened the door of the room and indicated Li Rui to step inside first.
Li Rui stepped inside the room followed by Imperial Physician Xu.
Without looking back at An Ju's , she said
"The door will remain open. I will call you if I need you."
"Yes, My lady."
An Ju nodded her head like a hen pecking her chicken. Although she was still dissatisfied, remembering Li Rui's cold behavior from yesterday, she knew that she should remain satisfied with this small privilege.

Li Na was lying on the bed that was placed in the middle of the room. Li Rui stepped closer to the bed and found that she was sleeping very deeply and peacefully.
"My Lady we needed to make Second Miss Li asleep before to find out whether she had been drugged with any suspicious drug or not."
Imperial Physician Xu explained hurriedly when he saw Li Rui looking at Li Na with a very serious face.
Li Rui nodded her head and then looked at Imperial Physician Xu.
"The, did Imperial Physician Xu find anything?"
Imperial Physician Xu went silent when he hear Li Rui's question. After all, this was not something he could reveal in front of anyone like this.
Li Rui had also asked very casually and she had not expected Imperial Physician Xu to answer her question.
However, the next moment, she saw a rice paper in front of her eyes. On the rice paper, a single words was written very elegantly.
"No"
Li Rui was surprised to see that Imperial Physician Xu answered her question. She had never expected Imperial Physician Xu to answer her question.
She moved her eyes away from Li Na and looked at Imperial Physician Xu only to see him looking towards the door.
She followed her gaze and saw nothing but an open door.
"Elder, is there anything that is wrong?"
She asked him in a whisper.
Imperial Physician Xu looked at Li Rui with approval in his eyes.
She was a smart lady. She understood the situation and asked her question in a very low voice despite not knowing what the problem was.
The next moment, he nodded his head very seriously. He picked another rice paper from the bedside table. With the brush in his hand, he wrote something on that rice paper.
A few moments later, he showed the rice paper in his hands to Li Rui.
"My Lady, your maid is a martial artist…and I can see that she is a very strong one. So this old man is afraid that she will hear me. Ha…"
Imperial Physician Cu smiled nervously when Li Rui looked at him with blank eyes. A moment later, she lowered her head and read ahead.
"This old man is afraid that she will go and tell Lord Xi who will go and tell the Emperor. Although the Emperor had always tolerated this one seeing that this one has a rare talent in the field of medicines…this one still can't afford to have the highest one in the Xi to be angry on himself."
Li Rui nodded her head in understanding.
She indicated to Imperial Physician Xu to give the brush in her hands who gave it to her immediately.
"How does Elder know that Rui's maid is a martial artist? Has Elder also practiced martial arts?"
Imperial Physician Xu was now standing a step away from Li Rui so he read what she wrote.
When Li Rui raised her head to look at him, he proudly nodded her head hoping that he would get to see a little respect in her eyes for himself.
After being defeated by a woman, that too so young, there was no way that Imperial Physician Xu's ego would not get hurt.
Because of this hurt ego, he could not even ask Li Rui to teach him the acupuncture directly.
He wanted her to be the first person to say that she wants to teach him this skill willingly.
As much as it sounded unreasonable, Imperial Physician Xu had always been like this for everyone.
However, his hopes crashed down when Li Rui just folded the paper in her hands and put it inside her sleeve. She didn't even glance at him again.
Instead, she moved towards the bed, Li Na was lying on and sat by her side.
He saw her taking Li Na's pulse.
A moment later, he saw that Li Rui removed Li Na's hair from her neck and looked there with a very serious and concentrated face.
However, he saw nothing except a red mole on Li Na's neck
After that, Li Rui covered Li Na in the same way how she was covered before and stood up from the bed.
Imperial Physician Xu saw Li Rui going out of the room without any expression on her face when his own face was full of confusion.
Imperial Physician Xu didn't understand anything but Li Rui had already found what she was looking for.
Someone really plotted against Li Na and in her mind, she had already concluded that it was her so-called husband, Prime Minister Xi.
