His Rui

Chapter 563 Lord Yi And Zhao Zhang Wei’s Conversation

Zhao Zhang Wei asked Yi Junjie coldly who had his hand on Yi Huiqing’s wrist now. Zhao Zhang Wei knew that he was perhaps trying to check whether the pulse was weak or strong. 

Yi Junjie took his own time in standing from the bed and never looked at Zhao Zhang Wei from beginning to end. 

This made Zhao Zhang Wei furious. 

If it had been someone else who had entered instead of him, then people could have started to talk bad about his qingqing. 

Yi Junjie was Yi Huiqing’s brother so he could accept it but what people will see is that he was not her brother who was related by blood. 

Yi Junjie finally stood up from the bed and looked at Zhao Zhang Wei. 

His eyes didn’t have any respect and he didn’t greet Zhao Zhang Wei as he stood in front of him a few moments later. 

”Your Highness, this Lord had gone to meet His Majesty.”

Zhao Zhang Wei frowned hearing Yi Junjie’s words. He couldn’t understand why Yi Junjie was telling him this. Just like Zhao Wang Lei, he also thought that Yi Junjie had gone to see Zhao Wang Lei because he had wanted the Emperor to find some suitable physician to treat his sister. 

Zhao Zhang Wei only thought that Yi Junjie still don’t know that Yi Huiqing was free from the poison now and hence that’s why he was talking about this. 

He thought to inform him about this. However, before he could open his mouth he heard Yi Junjie continuing

”This Lord requested His Majesty to grant either the divorce or separation between Your Highness and Princess Consort Yi.”

Zhao Zhang Wei’s lips were still parted because he had wanted to tell Yi Junjie that Yi Huiqing was alright. However, after hearing Yi Junjie’s words, he suddenly went silent as he didn’t know how he should react. 

It took him a few moments to register what Yi Junjie said just now. 

His mind went blank and then slowly and slowly as the words registered in his mind, his eyes started to fill with rage. 

A few moments later, Zhao Zhang Wei finally found his voice and said coldly

”What did you say just now?”

However, Yi Junjie didn’t look afraid in the slightest.

He informed Zhao Zhang Wei beforehand because he didn’t want any obstacles later. Now he would make sure that his sister would get free from this man who could give her nothing but pain.

”This Lord wants his sister to separate from Your Highness.”

”Yi Junjie!”

Zhao Zhang Wei’s eyes were filled with so much anger as if he wished to kill Yi Junjie through his eyes only.

”Who are you to take such a decision!”

He questioned 

Divorce or separation…he never ever thought of these words regarding his and Yo Huiqing’s marriage even when everyone said that he should marry someone else because Yi Huiqing was not bearing him any child.

However, when all this happened, Zhao Zhang Wei never realized that Yi Huiqing had actually made her own place inside his heart from a very long ago. 

Otherwise, had it been any other woman in place of Yi Huiqing, he could have easily married someone else, and had it been any other man in place of him then he would have taken three or four wives by now. 

Not to have a child because Zhao Zhang Wei already knew why Yi Huiqing couldn’t bear him a child but to enjoy something a lustful man wanted to enjoy. 

It is just that it took him very long to realize this. 

There was no one in the Imperial Palace who could love him selflessly like Yi Huiqing and hence he felt awkward, and dubious, and took a long time to accept it. 

Long enough that he made Yi Huiqing tired. 

Yi Junjie was looking at Zhao Zhang Wei with a ridiculous smile on his face. In his eyes, the second prince looked nothing but ridiculous right now. 

”I am her brother.”

Yi Junjie said confidently but Zhao Zhang Wei soon retorted. 

”Not blood-related.”

”Doesn’t matter.”

Yi Junjie had expected such a response already and said indifferently. It didn’t matter that he was not related to the Yi Family by blood, They were his family since the time he had come to Imperial City with his uncle Yi.

And Yi Huiqing was his sister.

”I am, of course, more qualified than Your Highness because at least my sister has never suffered because of me and doesn’t wish to get away from me.”

The words Zhao Zhang Wei are like a heavy rock. Though he knew what Yi Junjie said was right, it was still difficult to accept. Did he really not have any right to his wife? 

Zhao Zhang Wei felt very irritated by Yi Junjie’s confidence and said in annoyance.

”Lord Yi, do you know that your mannerless words can put in you deep trouble? Benwang can ask the Imperial Guards to put you inside the prison for speaking to Benwang like this.”

Zhao Zhang Wei said with a cold smile on his lips. 

He wanted to see the fear in Yi Junjie’s eyes. He wanted him to say that he was wrong in bringing up such a thing. 

However, the cold smile on Zhao Zhang Wei’s lips and mockery from his eyes vanished when he heard a soft voice suddenly

”Elder Brother”

Slowly Zhao Zhang Wei turned his head to look behind Yi Junjie…towards the bed. Joy flashed through his eyes when he saw that Yi Huiqing was finally awake. 

”Qingqing”

Zhao Zhang Wei whispered softly and started to walk towards the bed but Yi Junjie who was standing near the bed was faster than him. 

Yi Junjie couldn’t help but frown when he noticed the eagerness of the prince. It made him wonder why he was pretending to be caring towards his sister so suddenly. 

”Huiqing.”

Yi Junjie sat on edge of the bed and stroked his sister’s hair …just like he used to do when she used to fall sick in childhood. 

At that time, Yi Junjie would silently sit by the bedside and look after Yi Huiqing. The Yi Family members were helpless because no matter how much they tried he would not get up from there. 

The same thing he used to do with Li Rui whenever the latter would fall sick. He would go to Li Manor and stay there until Li Rui would get better. 

”Elder Brother…”

Yi Huiqing’s voice was a little hoarse and crooked and she could speak in a very low voice. 

”I am alright.”

Yi Huiqing said softly. She could see that he was concerned about her. 

However, after finishing his words, Yi Huiqing said suddenly.

”Elder Brother …should leave now.”
