His Rui

Chapter 538 Qin Wenya’s Fall

Whispers started in the Imperial Banquet hall just after the old nanny stopped speaking. 

Qin Wenya’s face didn’t have any emotion. 

Now not even fear could be seen on her face. 

Xi Ying wondered what the mighty Empress was thinking right now. Was she really thinking that she would be able to save herself even after this?

If she was, then soon she was going to get to know that she was very very wrong. 

Qin Wenya calmly stood up from her seat amidst those whispers which were silenced down as soon as people saw her standing up. 

They wanted to hear what she will say. 

After hearing all this, it was obvious that the reputation of the Empress will lower, and hence same will happen with the reputation of the Imperial Clan. 

Li Rui deserved justice four years ago not right now. 

Though she still got it, what was the benefit now? 

Li Na was sentenced for the rest of her life but Li Rui had still borne the stain on her reputation for four whole years. 

It was none other than the Empress who stopped Li Rui from getting the justice she deserved. 

Who will be able to put their trust in the Imperial Clan again if the Empress could also do this?

”All of this is a lie. This old nanny is telling lies. Your Majesty…”

Turning to look at her dear husband, Qin Wenya spoke very calmly though her inside were burning with fire. 

How could she not see what Zhao Wang Lei was trying to do! He was trying to make her fall on her face in front of everyone! He was trying to reduce her power in Xin!

Qin Wenya promised herself that once she would deal with the current circumstances she would show Zhao Wang Lei the consequences of whatever he was doing right now. 

He was perhaps too confident in himself right now but she will show him that he won’t be able to move even a strand of her hair without her will!

This throne belonged to her son and the power that an Empress should have in an Empire, she would always have more power than that. 

”Your Majesty, Bengong believes that Your Majesty will only take a decision on the basis of some evidence.”

”Whatever this old nanny is saying are merely words. She doesn’t have any evidence for what she is saying.”

The people inside the Imperial banquet hall nodded their heads at this while the old nanny had her mouth parted in shock. She indeed did not have any evidence. 

How could she have any evidence all of a sudden!

The old nanny opened and closed her mouth as she tried to form words but could not let a single one out from her mouth. 

She was trying to remember the name of the village where that maid was sent by Qin Wenya. However, her old memory did not help her in anything. 

  This was not good!

Only by putting all the blame on Qin Wenya, she would be able to save herself today. The old nanny knew this. 

She was just a servant so she could not and did not have any power to deny the order of an Empress and hence she was not at any fault in whatever she did. 

That was what the old nanny was going to do. 

After proving that it was really Qin Wenya’s fault, even if she was given any punishment, it would surely be very less than she would have gotten in the usual circumstances. 

However, now how she will prove that it was really Qin Wenya who had hidden everything and though it was a lie, it was Qin Wenya who had asked her to hire someone to kill Li Rui. 

Qin Wenya was also very miffed on thinking that the old nanny was putting false blame on her. 

Yes, she had hidden the incident four years ago but she had never hired any man and never had asked the old nanny to hire someone to kill Li Rui. 

So she knew very well that the old nanny was trying to trap her. 

Only now she was able to see whatever Xi Ying was saying was really true. The old nanny was really one of  Zhao Wang Lei’s people. 

And she put a snake on her daughter’s side. 

Now this snake was trying to bite her also. 

However, Qin Wenya wondered whether it was Zhao Wang Lei who had asked the old nanny to hire someone to kill Li Rui and if he had, then why did he want to kill Li Rui!

Qin Wenya’s thoughts were messy but she was clear with one thought she needed to save herself at any cost. 

So with a calm face that only an innocent person would have in such a situation, she said 

”Your Majesty, Bengong has not done any such thing. Why would Bengong hire someone to kill Lady Li? What kind of enmity does Bengong have with Lady Li?” 

”Because Princess Wenling likes Lord Xi. It was not once, that Her Majesty and even Princess Wenling had hired so many people to kill Lady Li so many times, however, every time Lord Xi’s shadow guards would protect Lady Li and Lady Li will come out safe.”

The old nanny said immediately before Qin Wenya could give any other excuse to save herself. 

The people had their eyes wide on hearing this. 

Everyone had always thought that it was Princess Wenling who suffered in all this. She had affection for Prime Minister Xi for so many years but one incident snatched Xi Ying from her. 

However, who knew that the same princess who claimed in front of everyone that Li Rui was her best friend regardless of what happened years ago, the same princess was planning to kill Li Rui behind her back…behind everyone’s back. 

The eyes looking at Princess Wenling became slightly strange now. 

Inside his heart, Xi Ying found everything very ridiculous. 

Here, everyone was trying to save themselves. These people were not seeing that while doing all this, they were letting all their secrets out one by one. 

However, he won’t stop them from doing all this. He will just watch silently and then in the end, he will benefit from their loss. 

He would get justice for his wife whom they had always tried to harm. 

He would get justice for his Rui!
