His Rui

Chapter 525 Yu Wei Giving Up Slowly And Slowly

A few moments later, Zhao Wang Lei entered the banquet hall with Empress Qin Wenya. 

Qin Wenya’s eyes went to look towards Yi Jie. 

Anyone with eyes, if they will look carefully at Yi Jie then they would be able to notice that slowly and slowly her face was going pale. 

It made Qin Wenya believe that the drug that had been fed to Yi Jie was finally starting to take its effect. 

She smirked as she stepped towards the throne with Zhao Wang Lei. 

He would not even get to know when his beloved woman will leave this world in her sleep tonight. 

On the other hand, Zhao Wang Lei was also looking toward Xi Ying. 

Seeing Xi Ying’s usual cold and indifferent face, he looked a little relieved as well as smug. 

Xi Ying was still here. It only showed that the young prime minister still didn’t know what was going on inside Xi Manor. 

At the same time, Zhao Wang Lei was also a little anxious. 

By this time, he should have already gotten the news that Li Rui and Xi Ying’s son, Xi Ling were killed. 

However, he tried to comfort himself with the fact that perhaps Youxio’s shadow guards were too lazy to come so early to report. 

Maybe they will come back a little late. 

However, never did the thought that this time also his plan would fail came to his mind. Because he had a belief in the Youxio organization. 

With these thoughts, Zhao Wang Lei stepped towards the throne. 

As soon as he was seated, he looked at Eunuch Wang who immediately looked at the front and said in a loud voice 

”Your Majesty wants Second Young Miss Li and Third Young Miss Li to be present in the banquet hall as Prime Minister Xi had demanded.”

Sitting in her seat, Li Rong was shocked when she saw her daughters entering the banquet hall a few moments later. 

Her red eyes went to look at Xi Ying who was coldly looking at Li Na and Li Caihong. 

No one knew when but Xi Ying had sent a message to the Emperor saying that he wants Li Na and Li Caihong to be present in the banquet hall. 

And Zhao Wang Lei completed his wish. 

After all, he just wanted Xi Ying to stay busy in all these matters so that he won’t even get any time to think about Xi Manor and find out what was going on there.

Li Na and Li Caihong still looked confused about whatever was going on. 

Li Caihong’s face was covered with a cloth but she could feel everyone’s eyes on her. She despised it as she knew what they were trying to see. They wanted to see her ugly face and then mock her. 

Her fists clenched tightly as she stepped back in fear. 

She had not wanted to come to the Imperial Palace in the first place. 

However, the Imperial guards and those mamas forcefully dragged her to the carriage. Li Na was already excited to go to the Imperial Palace. She never wondered why she was suddenly called amidst the banquet when she had been banned to enter the Imperial Palace.   

The only thing she cared about was that she would be able to see Xi Ying by going to the Imperial Palace. Hence she had readied herself very well. 

Seeing Li Caihong’s struggle, she had been afraid that she would lose this chance so she manipulated Li Caihong’s mind very nicely. 

’If you go there and win everyone’s sympathy then they will hate Li Rui even more. The rumors are already widely spread. Your going to the Imperial Palace will make the situation worse for Li Rui and perhaps she would give that ointment to heal your face under this pressure.’

Li Caihong easily agreed with Li Na’s words.

Regardless of how much Li Caihong tried to become clever in front of her sister, in the end, Li Na was her elder sister who had manipulated her mind for so many years. 

So she knew very well what nerve exactly she needed to press to brainwash Li Caihong’s mind.

So this was how both the sisters finally reached the Imperial Palace with different expectations in their hearts. 

Li Na immediately grabbed Li Caihong’s hand when she noticed that she was stepping back. She didn’t want to be thrown out of the Imperial Palace because of Li Caihong’s stupidity. 

”This maiden greets Your Majesty.”

Both the sisters kneeled down on the floor and greeted the Emperor. 

As soon as Li Na stood up after completing the greeting, her eyes started to look around the large banquet hall. 

She was looking for Xi Ying and sure enough, when she found him, her eyes brightened even though his face looked completely cold and indifferent as he stared at the front without glancing at her. 

Sitting with his family, Lu Jianye had been staring at Li Na since she had entered the banquet hall. 

His eyes observed her each and every action including how she looked for Xi Ying first in the large banquet hall. 

That brightness…only he had it in his eyes whenever he would look at Li Na but she had in it her eyes when she looked at Xi Ying. 

What did it mean? 

In some part of his heart, Lu Jianye already knew the answer!

It was just that, he very nicely moved away from his eyes and pressed down that thought. 

He was not ready to accept that he loved the wrong person and the person who deserved his love never lied there. 

Yu Wei was silently looking at all this. 

Her eyes were red as she saw Lu Jianye lowering his head. 

Was he finally regretting it? 

She remembered how coldly he had walked away from her when she had tried to tell what kind of person Li Na was. 

He had even threatened her that he would not accept her as his concubine if she said all this in front of his parents. 

Even now, she could not see any hatred for Li Na in Lu Jiany’e eyes.

Was his love so great? 

She wondered silently and suddenly felt a little tired. 

It was tiring to love one person for so many years and then find out that he never loved you…that you were so easily abandoned by him. 

Yu Wei wished nothing now but happiness for Lu Jianye but she didn’t know whether she really wanted to fight for her own love anymore or not.
