His Rui Chapter 367 - Two Different Letters

Chapter 367 - Two Different Letters

In the end, Xi Ying had to take his son with him to his wife and now his room also.
He couldn't refuse him after Xi Ling said
"Xi Ling never had Mother for all these three years. Now Xi Ling had her, Father doesn't let Xi Ling sleep with her. A few years later, Xi Ling will grow up and then Xi Ling will not be able to sleep with Mother. Father is so cruel ….waaah…"
These broken words said by Xi Ling when registered by Xi Ying, he could not really say anything.
Because they were true.
Because of him, Xi Ling couldn't see his mother for all these three years and now he was again being selfish.
While taking Xi Ling to their room, Xi Ying thought that it will be alright.
He could not become intimate with Li Rui for the time when she was pregnant and if Xi Ling stayed there then perhaps it would also help him in having some self-control.
Otherwise seeing Li Rui's eyes almost makes him wish to lose all his control and love her the way he wants to do.
So it is good to let Xi Ling stay in their room until she gives birth. After that, he would ensure that the brat sleep in his own room.
And anyway, when the brat would be sleeping peacefully, he could always steal some kisses from his wife.
Thinking this, Xi Ying finally reached the room with Xi Ling in his arms.
So that's how Xi Ling became successful in melting his father's ice-cold heart.
Xi Ying sighed remembering the events from last night.
However, his thoughts came to a full stop when his gaze fell on Li Rui's face. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing evenly indicating that she was in a deep sleep.
He forwarded his fingers to touch her cheek lightly. He looked in a kind of daze wondering how this woman could make his heartbeat speed up every time he saw her.
Even his heart feels full whenever he thought about her.
Rui was his life or perhaps something more than that.
'If only there was a word to describe this feeling' Xi Ying sighed inside his heart.
He kissed his wife's forehead softly and then reluctantly left the room.

Sitting inside Lantai Courtyard, Yi Huiqing stared at the letter in her hands.
Her lips were pressed in a thin line.
It seems that Empress Qin Wenya went to the Imperial Study room last night and requested His Majesty to punish Zhao Zhang Wei more gravely.
However, this more gravely was really grave or not, Yi Huiqing couldn't decide.
The Emperor has actually ordered the Second Prince to invite First Prince to his courtyard to have an apology dinner.
And the one who will make all the arrangements for this dinner would be her…the wangfei of Xinhe Palace.
It was not unusual that the Emperor sent the letter to her. After all, it was something that is her responsibility as the wangfei of the second prince.
However, Yi Huiqing also knew that the reason behind this fight was perhaps her.
The only reason behind this doubt was that Lin Daiyu had told her that Zhao Zhang Wei shouting 'Qingqing'.
From what she could remember, Zhao Zhang Wei had perhaps called her by this name quite a few times.
So Qingqing in his mouth could be her.
The Emperor must have known everything but he still asked her to make the arrangements for the dinner.
What was His Majesty's purpose behind this?
It couldn't be that because she was the reason behind the two princes' fight so the Emperor wants her to be the one who would do everything to make the relations between the two princes better.
Or perhaps it was to make her remember that she was a woman.
A woman who became the reason for the fight between two princes.
So, in the end, it was she who would have to bow her head and ask for an apology from the First prince in place of her husband.
Or maybe it was completely something else.
She was not unaware of the Emperor's plans about Yi and Li Clan. Perhaps the Emperor wanted to reduce her power in Xinhe Palace by making her head bow in front of the first prince.
Reading all the blames the letter put on her so-called husband, Yi Huiqing's lips couldn't help but twitch.
It seems that the dog-man would not let her live peacefully.
During this dinner, she would have to see his face also. Yi Huiqing couldn't help but cry inside her heart.
However, the helpless her could only ask Lin Daiyu to make the arrangements for tonight's dinner.
It was the Emperor's order. Even if she was on her deathbed, she would have to go there and suffer.
She could do nothing.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei was currently sitting inside his study room.
He had also received a letter. However, the letter he received was completely different from what Yi Huiqing received.
In his letter, it was written that Zhao Zhuang Chen was to come to his courtyard tonight and both the princes would extend the hand of friendship at least if not brotherhood.
Zhao Zhang Wei scoffed as he threw the letter away. The letter slid down from the study table and then fell on the floor.
Eunuch Zhang who saw his master's actions had a terrified expression on his face.
He quickly picked the letter from the floor and then folded it very carefully.
The letter was sent from the Imperial Study room and had an Imperial seal indicating that no one could refuse to obey this order.
Eunuch Zhang sighed lightly when he saw his master's cold face.
The young Eunuch has now started to understand that his master was completely different from what he showed to others.
In others' eyes, he was the most gentle and easygoing prince.
However, Eunuch Zhang knew that his master was completely opposite to that. The young Eunuch only came out of his thoughts when he heard his master saying
"Benwang is not attending any such dinner."
