His Rui Chapter 558 Is Rui Lying?

Chapter 558 Is Rui Lying? Zhao Zhang Wei's face didn't look too good after he heard Li Rui's answer.
His phoenix eyes were still red and his face had impatience. He himself didn't sense the anxiousness in his voice when he said
"The poison is already out so Qingqing should be alright now."
"No!"
Li Rui said calmly.
"If she doesn't wake up in half a shichen then there is no hope."
Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes went wide at Li Rui's words. The next moment, they were filled with anger and he stepped closer to Li Rui as he said in a threatening voice.
"Benwang dare you to say that again, Lady Li."
However, Li Rui didn't look afraid at all. She put her hand on her slightly swollen abdomen and stepped away from Zhao Zhang Wei calmly.
"Rui thinks that Your Highness is wise enough to control his emotions and not show his power on a Lady."
Zhao Zhang Wei opened and closed his mouth unable to say anything. He really wanted to do something…force Li Rui to say that Yi Huiqing was alright but he didn't really think that there was any way for doing that,
The woman didn't seem to be afraid of anything or anyone.
When he didn't say anything, Li Rui spoke again in the same calm voice.
"The poison might have already done its work, Your Highness. If it has not then Elder Sister would wake up in half a shichen but if it has then she might not wake up at all."
Zhao Zhang Wei suddenly stepped back. His each step was heavy and his eyes were slightly out of focus.
He didn't want to believe Li Rui's words but they also seemed to make sense to him.
His voice was persistent when he spoke the next time.
"But Xi Ying said that only you could treat Qingqing."
Li Rui went silent at these words.
Her eyes flickered with something before she spoke again not before she let out a sigh that was full of disappointment.
"Rui tried her best, Your Highness."
Zhao Zhang Wei's lips were parted slightly as if he wanted to say something else too but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Suddenly, he looked towards the bed and then Li Rui saw him walking towards the bed.
He held Yi Huiqing's hand tightly as he sat on the bed just beside her.
His other hand stroked Yi Huiqing's hair gently and Li Rui heard him say.
"She will wake up."
"I still need to make her happy. I still need to apologize for all the pain I have given her."
"I still need to live a long lifetime with her."
A smile graced Zhao Zhang Wei's lips and his voice was full of beleive as he whispered more likely to himself.
"She will definitely wake up."
Because if you didn't, then I will follow you in afterlife."
Li Rui didn't say anything and silently left with the bowl of black blood in her hands while Zhao Zhang Wei continued to sit by Yi Huiqing's side.

.
It was almost half a shichen later when Li Rui entered again Yi Huiqing's chambers.
Zhao Zhang Wei was sitting in the same position and he was still stroking Yi Huiqing's hair gently.
"Your Highness, it is already more than half a shichen."
Zhao Zhang Wei stopped stroking Yi Huiqing's hair when he heard Li Rui's words.
The smile that he had on his lips faltered for a moment and he raised his head to look at Li Rui.
A deep frown marred his forehead and he turned to look out of the window as if he couldn't believe that half a shichen had passed already.
However, even if he believed Li Rui, he still said
"She will wake up. She is just angry with me and hence taking her own time to wake up."
Saying this, Zhao Zhang Wei was about to continue whatever he was doing before but Li Rui said firmly making him halt amidst his actions again.
"No, she won't."
Lin Daiyu was now standing at the entrance but she could clearly hear Li Rui's words.
Her mouth was parted as she sobbed. She covered it as if afraid to make any noise but her tears didn't stop flowing out.
It was at that moment, Xi Ying entered Lantai Courtyard.
From the entrance only, he sensed that there was something wrong especially when he heard Lin Daiyu's sobs from outside.
His heart sank inside his chest and his pace quickened as he walked further inside the chambers.
Xi Ying only saw Li Rui's back from where he was standing.
"Your Highness, Elder Sister will not wake up now."
He heard her saying calmly and his body froze completely.
Xi Ying knew very well that if something happened to Yi Huiqing, then it would be his fault solely.
Yi Huiqing was never supposed to be in the Imperial Palace as Zhao Zhang Wei's wangfei from the start but it was he who started all this.
It was because of his lack of attention that Zhao Zhang Wei got attacked.
His eyes went towards the bed where Zhao Zhang Wei was sitting. His phoenix eyes were deathly cold as he stared at Li Rui.
Xi Ying's protective side immediately came out and he walked forward to step beside Li Rui.
However, Zhao Zhang Wei's cold gaze didn't waver and he said to Li Rui coldly.
"She will wake up. If Lady Li doesn't wish to stay anymore then you can leave."
Saying this, Zhao Zhang Wei turned to look at Yi Huiqing. His fingers stroked her hair gently as he felt so much sorrow inside his heart.
The sister for whom Yi Huiqing cared so much was saying these words so calmly today. His qingqing perhaps had never imagined this, right?
Was not he just the same?
He also never cared for her when she used to care for him.
His qingqing …she has suffered so much because of him and now even today she was here because of him.
Li Rui stayed there for a few moments and then she left the room again.
Xi Ying obviously followed her.
As he saw her checking the black liquid in a bowl, calmly, his eyes flickered suddenly and he said out aloud.
"Rui, you are lying, right? Yi Huiqing will wake up soon."
