His Rui Chapter 518 Who Is Li Rui?

Chapter 518 Who Is Li Rui?

"F**k, is there something wrong with my eyes?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Gu Li, can you see the same thing I am seeing?"
The three shadow guards who were watching the fight of their leader with An Ju said to each other one by one.
They looked completely confused.
Their faces had a kind of expression that made them look like a person who had something inside his throat that he didn't know whether he should swallow or spit out.
After all, what they were seeing was very hard to digest for them.
"Why is Master not attacking at all?"
The shadow guard name Gu Li asked in confusion as he saw his master defending against An Ju's attacks but not trying to fight at all.
Even An Ju looked frustrated as she continued to attack but her sword never touched the man she was trying to attack.
"We can't know what is going on inside Master's mind."
One of them said while others nodded their heads agreeing with his words.
"I think we should just go inside and finish the work while Master is playing with this kid here."
The three agreed on this suggestion immediately and then flew inside Plum Courtyard.

Li Hua was startled when three people suddenly appeared inside the garden of the Plum Courtyard.
Her eyes widened as she remembered the previous attacks and immediately went to step in front of her mistress.
Li Rui who was kneeling in front of the plants with the old physician kneeling by her side also noticed the presence of new people.
Her eyes had no emotions as she slowly stood up from the ground. Her hand reached inside her sleeve when Li Hua stepped in front of her and she took out her dagger quietly.
"Wh…what is going on?"
The old physician who was kneeling on the ground stuttered because of the fear. He could feel the dangerous cold aura from the shadow guards' bodies and he knew that something was not right.
The three shadow guards smirked behind their masks seeing the chaos their presence has created and they asked coldly
"Who is Li Rui?"
Li Rui's eyes flickered when she heard her own name on their lips while Li Hua swallowed. The old physician narrowed his eyes as he looked at the shadow guards after hearing Li Rui's name.
Seeing their masks and black clothes …combined with the dangerous aura their bodies emitted.
Now he was Li Rui's physician…basically the only physician who knew about her pregnancy in the whole Imperial City so he unconsciously felt a protectiveness inside his heart for the young woman.
So even though he was very afraid inside his heart, the old physician stepped forward and said to the shadow guards.
"I am Li Rui…what do you want? Tell me."
The shadow guards' lips twitched as they looked at the old man.
They looked at each other clearly, understanding what was going on. One of them stepped forward and walked around the old physician in circles.
The old physician could feel the sweat forming behind his back. He almost screamed when the collar from the back was suddenly grabbed and he heard the cold voice of the shadow guard.
"Old Man, don't try to become a hero and obediently tell us where the 'woman' named Li Rui is."
The shadow guard focused more of his attention on the word 'woman'.
The old physician gulped as he realized his mistake. He was a man and the shadow guards of course knew that Li Rui was a woman.
However, he still didn't want to tell them about Li Rui so he gathered his courage and told them.
"She is outside…you should go to her room. It is on the right side of this g…"
"Tsk…"
The shadow guard tsked coldly interrupting the old physician amidst his words.
When they were out just now, a servant had told them clearly that Li Rui was inside the garden.
And the shadow guard knew by seeing the sacred face of that servant that he was not lying.
The servant had even peed inside his pants so he would of course not lie to them unless he wanted to die.
However, the old physician looked scared but he could easily tell from his face that the old man was lying.
"You really like to become a hero."
The shadow guard left the old man's collar too suddenly because of which the old physician suddenly fell on the ground.
"I am scared, old man, that you will have to spend the rest of your life on the bed only."
Saying this, the shadow guard raised his leg coldly and was about to kick the old man when he heard a cold and indifferent voice.
"Stop!"
Li Hua's eyes widened when she realized that the voice came from behind her and it obviously belonged to Li Rui.
"No…"
She whispered as she shook her head. However, by the time she could stop her mistress, Li Rui had already stepped forward from behind.
Li Hua swallowed and sweat formed on her forehead as she saw her mistress' cold and indifferent eyes on the three shadow guards.
"I am Li Rui. What do you want?"
The shadow guard whose leg was still raised in the air didn't kick the old man and put his leg on the ground.
His cold eyes looked at Li Rui suspiciously while his two companions did the same.
However, their attention was diverted when another woman stepped in front of Li Rui and said suddenly
"No, she is lying. It is me…I am Li Rui. She is Li Hua…she is my servant. She is lying to save me. Don't believe her."
Li Hua said firmly and she immediately heard her mistress' cold voice from behind.
"Li Hua…"
However, Li Hua stood in front of her mistress, completely covering her from the shadow guards' eyes.
If they wanted to harm her mistress then they would have to kill her first.
