His Rui Chapter 556 Was Yi Huiqing Alright?

Chapter 556 Was Yi Huiqing Alright? The Imperial chambers were silent.
Zhao Wang Lei's face didn't have any emotion but inside his heart, he was thinking about what should he say to Xi Ying. He couldn't let Zhao Zhuang Chen's reputation go lower than it already was.
After all, after him, he wanted him to ascend the throne.
Only then he would still be able to have some power over Xin and achieve what he always wanted to have.
To have Yi Jie by his side, he would need power even after he would leave the throne, and that power…he would only be able to get if Zhao Zhuang Chen, who didn't have any mind, would ascend the throne.
The throne would belong to him but it would be his mind that would be working behind him because, by that time, he would have killed Xi Ying…the only person who could see behind these schemes of his.
However, Zhao Wang Lei didn't know that Xi Ying had already made his son against him by engraving in his mind that Zhao Wang Lei favored Zhao Zhang Wei and wanted him to become the next Emperor.
He was only thinking one thing.
'If people came to know that Zhao Zhuang Chen schemed to kill his own brother with the enemy empire then it won't be good for him.'
Then Zhao Zhuang Chen would not be able to ascend the throne regardless of how much sincere his efforts will be.
"Perhaps Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't find anything, Prime Minister Xi."
Zhao Wang Lei said after a few moments.
But who was he kidding! Xi Ying was not going to stop so soon!
"But Your Majesty, His Highness investigated so deeply that he even knew what was the situation of the enemy Empire. How could he not know what were they planning!"
Zhao Wang Lei was tongue-tied after this.
In fact, he was already sure inside his heart, that Zhao Zhuang Chen must have hidden it from Xi Ying even if he knew about the plans of attack during the banquet.
However, he couldn't really let Xi Ying know this.
Zhao Wang Lei was again silent for a few moments before he sighed and told the young prime minister.
"Prime Minister Xi, Zhen will investigate this matter deeply. Zhen would not let go of the people who were involved in all this. After all, a princess consort had lost her life in this attack."
Xi Ying scoffed inside his heart silently as he heard Zhao Wang Lei's solemn words.
He was already so sure that Yi Huiqing was going to die. Indeed, Zhao Wang Lei never cared whether Yi Huiqing was going to die or live.
Such a person never deserved to become the Emperor.
For an Emperor, every innocent life in his Empire should be precious but to Zhao Wang Lei, even the people he should be caring about were not precious to him.
Outside, Xi Ying smiled politely and bowed his head before saying
"Then Your Majesty must investigate deeply. If Your Majesty wishes, this Lord can provide some help to Your Majesty."
Xi Ying coldly laughed inside his heart when he saw anger flashing across Zhao Wang Lei's eyes.
Zhao Wang Lei was angry because Xi Ying's words indirectly indicated how incapable his people were of investigating things,
Even if they were capable, now Zhao Wang Lei didn't even have enough manpower on his side.
He still forced a calm smile on his lips and said
"Sure, Zhen will tell Prime Minister Xi if we needed any help."
Xi Ying smiled brightly …one that could make any maiden in Xin dazed and then bowed his head again to take his leave.
He closed his eyes and chuckled in satisfaction when as soon as he stepped outside, he heard a loud bang.
Perhaps in anger, Zhao Wang Lei has kicked away the table that was placed in front of him.
His ears were sharp as he was a martial artist so he could hear the sound very clearly even though a normal person should not be able to hear it.
Soon he saw Eunuch Wang running outside.
With a worried face, Xi Ying asked Eunuch Wang
"Is everything alright, Eunuch Wang?"
Eunuch Wang was startled for a moment perhaps because he had not expected to see Xi Ying still standing outside the chambers.
Xi Ying, of course, saw the coldness passing through the old Eunuch's eyes as the old Eunuch tried to answer calmly.
"Yes, Prime Minister Xi. His Majesty is just in a bad mood. After all, someone from the Imperial Palace was going to lose her life today."
Xi Ying raised his eyebrows and then nodded his head.
"This servant will take his leave then, Prime Minister Xi."
Eunuch Wang said as annoyance flashed through his lowered eyes when he saw that Xi Ying was still not moving away.
Xi Ying again nodded his head and said 'sure'. He smiled as he saw Eunuch Wang making his way out of there.
He tried to guess where the old Eunuch was going.
Perhaps to Delan Palace!
Xi Ying smiled coldly.
When he was having such a great mess on his side, how could he let Zhao Wang Lei's side sit still?

Xi Ying sighed as he started to walk back to Xinhe Palace.
The urge to see his wife was again starting to rise.
Li Rui was like a drug to him that he never wished to leave. If he would not see her every few hours, won't embrace her small body in his arms, he would always feel that something was amiss.
Xi Ying was not worried about Yi Huiqing. He just knew that as long as Li Rui was still there she would never let anything happen to her elder sister.
And hence everything on his side was still in control.
Perhaps Xi Ying had so much confidence in Li Rui and that's why when he went back to Xinhe Palace and sensed the depressing atmosphere, he felt very shocked.
