His Rui

Chapter 539 Lord Xi Has Evidence

Princess Wenling shouted hysterically on hearing the old nanny’s words. 

Her heart and eyes were filled with panic when she glanced at Xi Ying and found him looking at herself with a pair of deep black eyes that were filled with coldness and indifference.

He already disliked her enough and the old nanny was just making the situation more worst for her. 

Princess Wenling could suddenly see that perhaps the old nanny was not as loyal as she claimed and showed herself to be. 

Just once she was put in a difficult situation, she betrayed her like this. 

She even was trying to put all the blame on her mother in front of everyone now. She was really very daring. 

Her heart was filled with anger thinking that before she was thinking of doing something to reduce the nanny’s punishment after all this. 

However, now the only thing she wish to do was slap her face until death. 

So she did so.

She stepped forward and raised her hand to slap the old nanny. 

However, just when she had raised her hand, she heard a deep cold voice sounded in the Imperial banquet hall.

”Guards, hold the princess.”

It was Zhao Wang Lei who ordered so. 

This time, he was left dissatisfied by the old nanny’s move. 

They still needed the princess. Though she was stupid, she was still useful to them. Princess Wenling was the only shield Zhao Wang Lei was using to cover himself while attempting to kill Li Rui so many times. 

It was only this shield that had saved him all this time and he still needed this shield…especially when Xi Ying was trying his best to protect Li Rui now. 

Just when he was thinking of setting everything right, the princess had started to behave like a shrew. 

Could she not tell that her being angry would only show everyone that whatever the old nanny was saying was true? 

The thing that she had to learn from Qin Wenya was this. She still looked so calm after everything. 

The Imperial guards held the princess before she could slap the old nanny The old nanny looked terrified and had closed her eyes.

However, when she didn’t feel any impact of the heavy slap on her face, she opened her eyes. A cold smirk formed on her lips when she saw the struggling princess held by the Imperial guards as she shouted.

”Leave me….leave me. I will kill her. Just a servant and she is trying to climb onto my head.”

The princess was angrier on seeing the smirk on the nanny’s lips. 

However, the nanny looked fearless as she continued to smile coldly and whispered 

”That is how you have always shut my mouth but today no one can stop me. I have done many wrong things while working under you and your mother. Today I wish to do one right thing at least.”

Eunuch Wang wanted to applaud the old nanny for the act she was putting in front of everyone while Xi Ying raised his eyebrows on hearing the old nanny’s words. 

Mockery flashed in his eyes but he still stood silent. 

Everyone’s time will come one by one. Those who are thinking that they are safe will soon come to know how wrong they have been. 

Xi Ying sighed as he suddenly what his beautiful and cute wife might be doing in Xi Manor right now. The thought made him want to go to Xi Manor right away and see her. However, he knew that right now it was almost near impossible. 

His presence here was necessary. The circumstances made him feel irritated because they were stopping him from meeting his lovely wife. 

He heard Qin Wenya saying again

”Your Majesty, the old nanny does not have any evidence and yet she is spouting rubbish against Bengong and the Princess. Requesting Your Majesty to punish the old nanny wisely. Lying in front of the great Emperor means death. Bengong hopes that Your Majesty would give her a befitting punishment.”

Xi Ying’s lips twitched on hearing this. 

Was Qin Wenya thinking that he will let it end like this and so soon? 

With a face that didn’t have any emotion, Xi Ying stepped forward and said in his deep cold voice. 

”Who said that there is no evidence? This Lord has the evidence that Her Majesty had hidden everything from Minister Xin four years ago with the help of her people.”

The banquet hall went silent for the umpteenth time again. 

No one could believe that Xi Ying really had the evidence. However, all of them also knew that Xi Ying must not be lying so almost everyone was starting to believe that Qin Wenya had really hidden the truth four years ago. 

Qin Wenya could also see this and hence her eyes went sharp as she looked at Xi Ying. 

She had thought that Xi Ying was on her side, however, the situation seemed to be different altogether now. At the same time, panic started to surround Qin Wenya’s heart. 

If Xi Ying was adamant about proving her wrong today, then would she really be able to save herself.

Qin Wenya forcefully calmed herself down and said calmly 

”What kind of evidence Prime Minister Xi is talking about?”

She was sure that she had not left any evidence. Even if Xi Ying had any kind of evidence, perhaps she can find some fault in it and then prove that that evidence was not valid. 

Thinking this, Qin Wenya had asked this question. 

However, when Xi Ying clapped his hand and an Imperial guard entered the Imperial banquet hall, Qin Wenya’s face went pale on seeing the person he brought with him. 

Everyone in the Imperial banquet hall was curiously looking at this new person but Qin Wenya could recognize the person at one glance. That was the, especially of her memory. 

She never forgot a face after seeing it once. 

Xi Ying really had evidence and she was really into big trouble!
