His Rui

Chapter 532 Yi Jie Speaks For Li Rui

”Your Majesty, however, Li Caihong threw away that ointment because she didn’t want anything from my daughter…because she despised my daughter.”

Yi Jie revealed and gasps sounded in the banquet hall.

So the whole story was this. 

People looked at each other. Their minds had the same thought. 

Those rumors were just a half story. 

”Your Majesty, Li Caihong threw away the ointment and when she got to know that the same ointment could perhaps heal her face, she sent her mother to Xi Manor …to ask my daughter for the ointment again. This one doesn’t understand that if my daughter already showed her generosity once by giving the ointment to heal Li Caihong’s face even after she knew what these two sisters planned against her, why is she being shamed like this just because she refused to give the same ointment for the second time …when her first act of generosity was never appreciated.”

Yi Jie raised her head high. Her hands were trembling but she clenched them tightly. 

It was perhaps the first time she was speaking like this in front of the Emperor but she suppressed the fear inside her heart thinking that it was for her daughter…she needed to do this for her daughter. 

”In fact, I am proud of my daughter. I am proud that she didn’t let anyone step on her face again.”

Perhaps because of nervousness, Yi Jie forgot to use this one and spoke as ‘I’ but no one really seemed to mind this. 

Because they were too lost in hearing whatever she was saying. 

”The one who wants to harm my daughter’s chastity, who had always despised her so much, who didn’t even leave her husband and used such dirty ways to get my daughter’s place, doesn’t deserve her mercy.”

”That was all I had wanted to say.”

Yi Jie bowed her head again and then went back to her seat silently. 

When General Li held her hand, he frowned, feeling how cold they were. The anger inside his heart disappeared and was replaced by worry. 

”Are you alright?”

Yi Jie just nodded her head in response. She was actually feeling a little dizzy but she thought that it was merely because of the nervousness she was feeling because of speaking so freely in front of the Emperor. 

She didn’t know why but every time she would even think about the Emperor, the only thing she would be able to feel was fear. 

The endless fear. 

She shook her head and paid attention to the ongoing matter while General Li held her hands in his hand…trying to warm them. 

Xi Ying didn’t say anything after Yi Jie had walked back to her seat. 

He just silently looked toward Zhao Wang Lei. A wave of disgust washed over his heart when he saw a dazed look in Zhao Wang Lei. 

The disgusting Emperor was still fantasizing inside his mind about an already married woman. 

Zhao Wang Lei was indeed a sick man. 

To bring him out of his daze, Xi Ying said coldly and loudly. 

”Your Majesty” 

Sure enough, Zhao Wang Lie came out of his trance, and Xi Ying continued 

”No one else knew about First Madam Li going to Xi Manor except her daughters, Your Majesty. This Lord hopes that this thing is enough to make it clear that it was the Li Sisters who spread these false rumors about this Lord’s wife.”

Inside his heart, Xi Ying was now getting a little frustrated. Just to prove them wrong person wrong he had to do so much. 

In his whole life, he had perhaps never spoken so much in the Imperial Court. It was rather easy to just abduct Li Na and Li Caihong and then torture them till they will breathe their last. 

However. Xi Ying didn’t know whether his wife would appreciate his move much or not. 

And hence no matter how much he desired to torture these pair of sisters, he could only control himself and choose a way, his wife won’t have any problem with or so he wished.

Because he still didn’t know whether Li Rui would get angry at him because of this, today’s stunt of his.

Perhaps Zhao Wang Lei also sensed Xi Ying’s impatience and hence he didn’t delay this matter anymore.

He also thought that this much time should be enough for Youxio’s shadow guards to kill Li Rui and her son.

So he announced

”Zhen punishes Second Lady Li with the life sentence.”

Li Ring’s whole body went stiff when she heard this.

Blackness swept across her eyes telling her that she was soon going to lose her consciousness.

However, the last bit of rationality kept her awake.

She wanted to hear whether Xi Ying has destroyed her younger daughter’s life also or not.

Zhao Wang Lei didn’t ask Xi Ying for what punishment Li Caihong will get instead he announced on his own

”Third Lady Li will be sent to the nunnery.”

And that was when Li Rong collapsed down on the floor.

Her daughters’ lives have been destroyed by Xi Ying.

The Emperor himself had announced these punishments and hence she couldn’t do anything.

Li Qiang immediately stood up from his seat and ran towards his unconscious wife who was held by the Imperial Guards.

Zhao Wang Lei just glanced at the duo before he looked at Xi Ying as if nothing happened and asked

”Is Prime Minister Xi satisfied with the punishment Zhen has decided?”

A thoughtful look could be seen on Xi Ying’s face that made Zhao Wang Lei. Just what does he think of himself.

He was the Emperor so Xi Ying should blindly say yes to him and then thank him for the justice he had served him.

However, Xi Ying had always been like this. Even Zhao Wang Lei knew this. This was not the first time he was behaving like this.

He wouldn’t really agree to something until he was really satisfied regardless of who was standing in front of him.

It was after a few moments, Xi Ying finally nodded his head and said

”Yes, Your Majesty. This Lord is satisfied with the punishment that Your Majesty has given to Third Lady Li. Many thanks for doing the justice.”

Zhao Wang Lei sighed in relief unconsciously.

Fortunately, Xi Ying agreed otherwise if he had refused and asked him to change the punishment then Zhao Wang Lei didn’t know what he would have done.

In the end, he also knew that he would have to agree because he needed Xi Ying’s help to achieve what he wanted.
