His Rui

Chapter 529 The Scared Enemies

It was only a few moments later when Princess Wenling had stepped inside the banquet hall with the old nanny again. 

However, her face was slightly pale when she appeared in front of everyone. 

Her eyes had a dazed look as she looked towards the throne where Zhao Wang Lei and Qin Wenya were sitting. Her body didn’t seem to have any strength as she started to walk towards her seat in a daze. The old nanny followed her silently. 

However, both of them stopped amidst their steps when they heard Xi Ying saying to the Emperor coldly. 

”Your Majesty, This Lord had called this man here because after his brother’s death, this man tried to harm this Lord wife…in the Imperial Palace only.”

Xi Ying finished as another round of gasps echoed in the Imperial Banquet hall. 

People looked at each other while Zhao Wang Lei presented a very nice cold face as if whatever Xi Ying was telling had made him very angry. 

Xi Ying’s heart was filled with rage on seeing this as he was very sure that Zhao Wang Lei already knew about this. 

How could he not about this when he had that servant of his, the old nanny by the princess side who gave him each and every detail of what the stupid princess was doing. 

It was infuriating how he had to make the same man give justice to his wife who wanted his wife’s life. 

However, he would also pay. 

Xi Ying assured himself. 

Zhao Wang Lei would definitely pay but before that he would remove all those people who were trying to harm Li Rui. 

At the same time, he will destroy one of his pawns today. 

Xi Ying’s cold eyes looked for the princess in the large banquet hall. He frowned when he didn’t find her on her seat.

She was supposed to be here when he would reveal her ugly face in front of everyone. The woman who had given his wife the most terrible memories of her childhood was supposed to be here to have the worst memories of her life, he was going to give her.

Xi Ying turned to look at the front again and decided to wait for a few moments to reveal the princess’ deeds. 

”Your Majesty might be wondering why this Lord gave two documents of aphrodisiacs purchase and when these sisters used the second dose.”   

The curious people immediately have their ears perked to hear the answer. Indeed, they wanted to know the answer. 

”It was during the Mid Autumn Banquet Festival. However, during the last banquet, their target changed, and th…”

Li Na’s face went pale and she immediately started to shout before Xi Ying could say anything. 

”No….no…he is lying. It is that b***h Li Rui who is forcing him to do so.”

As she said bad things about Li Rui, she stepped forward again with a pale face and looked at Xi Ying with pleading eyes. Now she finally was getting to know just how merciless Xi Ying was. 

Because he looked at her with cold eyes as if he wanted to kill her right then and there and then he signed the Imperial Guards to hold her down and shut her mouth. 

The Imperial Guards of course first looked towards the Emperor who also nodded his head with a frown on his forehead clearly displeased by Li Na’s behavior.

And hence like this, Li Na’s mouth was kept shut as Xi Ying told everything. 

How she tried to drug him and then sleep with him during the banquet. But since he already knew about her plans beforehand, he made her fall into her own trap. He made her have those drugs and then threw an Imperial Eunuch inside that room with her. 

Eunuch Wang who was standing a few steps away from the throne had anger-filled eyes when he heard Xii Ying’s words. 

So his nephew was really innocent in this matter. 

He really wanted to slap Xi Ying’s cold face as he remembered how he had to send his nephew away from the Imperial Palace when he clearly had such a great chance of staying here and serving the next Emperor. 

Eunuch Wang had thought that once his nephew would start to work in the Imperial Palace, he would then call his whole family to the Imperial City, and soon his whole family would start to have a good way of living. 

The temptation of this had made him meddle with those documents of Eunuch’s selection process and even though his nephew who was not qualified to enter the Imperial Palace because he was his relative entered because of Eunuch Wang. 

Only one person from a family could become the Eunuch in the Imperial Palace. 

It was done to protect the Imperial Palace from the invasion of Eunuch from the same family who could try to behave ruefully and arrogantly because of having the small power they were given on the Imperial Palace’s chores. 

Another Eunuch could only be selected from the alternate generation and hence Eunuch Zhang had to change his nephew’s clan’s name in the documents secretly though he took Zhao Wang Lei’s permission for that. 

However, Xi Ying spoiled all of his plans. 

But, what could he, as a mere Eunuch, say despite how much he wanted to lash out? 

And if he really tried to say something against Xi Ying then he was now afraid that Xi Ying already knew about him meddling with those documents and revealing it in front of anyone. 

Now everyone including Zhao Wang Lei was a little scared of Xi Ying. 

Just how much and how did Xi Ying know all this when he was not even here in the Imperial City when all this happened!

Could it be that he was more powerful than they had thought? 

Little by little now, Xi Ying was filling his enemies’ minds with fear of him…and he was really enjoying this. 

Because he knew very well what was going on inside their minds. 

It had taken him a great thought to reveal that he knew everything because he knew this kind of questions would be raised. 

But they would never get their answers because it was his wish whether he wanted to answer them or not. 

Because he was answerable to only his wife and no one else.
