Chapter 694 Qin Wenya In A Great Trouble

　　Qin Wenya was surprised when late at night, she was shaken awake by her maidservant. She looked at the old momo with a deep frown on her forehead and said 

”Why did you wake up Bengong?”

She had slept very late because she couldn’t sleep after whatever happened in the day. Most of the time she spent thinking about what should she do ahead. 

However, the only way she could come up with was to follow whatever Xi Ying had told her in that letter. And according to Qin Wenya, it was nothing difficult. 

She just needed to hide at any cost that it was Xi Ying who told her all this …otherwise he will reveal to Zhao Wang Lei that it was Zhao Zhuang Chen who had planned the attack on his dear son Zhao Zhang Wei. 

Qin Wenya came out of her thoughts when the old mom told her.

”Your Majesty, His Majesty is here to see you.”

Qin Wenya’s eyes widened and then flickered. 

Zhao Wang Lei was here…why? How? 

What was he doing here? It couldn’t be that he found out …

Qin Wenya shook her head immediately and immediately climbed out of the bed. She wore her robe hurriedly and then walked out of the sleeping chambers to where Zhao Wang Lei was waiting to see her. 

A moment later, when Qin Wenya stepped inside the inner hall of her chambers, she saw Zhao Wang Lei sitting around the round table. Behind him, Eunuch Wang was standing silently. 

She couldn’t help but feel furious when she noticed how even after she had approached the table, Eunuch Wang never kneeled down to pay respects to her. 

Zhao Wang Lei smiled coldly when he saw her glaring at his Eunuch. He knew very well what was going on inside her mind but he never asked Eunuch Wang to kneel down to her. 

He didn’t even ask Qin Wenya to sit. Instead, after a few moments of silence, he said in a commanding tone.

”Leave.”

The old Eunuch as well as the old momo left the inner hall. 

Qin Wenya couldn’t help but feel a little more nervous wondering if what she had guessed was really true. 

She smiled a little nervously at Zhao Wang Lei as she walked around the chair to put her arms around his shoulders.

”Did Your Majesty finally remember this Empress?”

Zhao Wang Lei didn’t say anything as he felt her lips nearing his ear, His face stayed emotionless as he felt her hand going downwards his chest. Just when it was going too lower than his liking, he asked her coldly.

”Was it you who drugged the elder daughter of the Yi Clan?”

Qin Wenya paused amidst her actions. Her body somewhat stilled. She was scared but still with all these emotions she couldn’t help but noticed how Zhao Wang Lei called Yi Jie the Eldest daughter of the Yi Clan instead of calling her Second Madam Li. 

Resentment roared inside her heart. This man…she had given him so many years yet here he was …he had been using her all along.

In that resentment, she intentionally said with a cold smile on her lips. 

”The eldest daughter of Yi Clan…the one who is married to the second prince or the one who is married to General Li, Your Majesty?”

Zhao Wang Lei’s cold smile also disappeared. 

His eyes flickered. He would never call Yi Jie the eldest daughter of the Yi Clan because he knew that Xi Ying was more intelligent than his liking. 

He intentionally used these words in front of Qin Wenya because he wanted to find out something. And with the way he knew her like the back of his hand, he already got his answer. 

His hand went to hold her hand on his body and with one move, he pulled her to his front such that she was on his knees with her chin in front of his face. 

Qin Wenya’s eyes were wide with shock and anger. 

They were more turbulent when she felt the cold metal against her neck.

”You…”

”Ssh…”

Zhao Wang Lei whispered signing her not to even open her mouth.

”Speak only when we ask you to, Qin Wenya. Otherwise, Zhen will cut your tongue today.” 

More anger flashed in Qin Wenya’s eyes. How could he talk to her like this! But the fear didn’t make her say these words out aloud.

Zhao Wang Lei was a little satisfied that he had finally tamed her. Still having his dagger against her neck, he looked into her eyes and asked coldly.

”Now tell me, why did you poison Yi Jie?”

A large part of Zhao Wang Lei’s heart wished that it was not what he was thinking because he knew that it was then he would be in great trouble. 

His heart sank inside his chest when he saw Qin Wenya smiling coldly, and then she said the words he had feared the most. 

”Is that how much you love her? You just came here to ask me why I tried to kill her, huh?”

There was a long silence after what Qin Wenya said. 

Zhao Wang Lei’s lips were trembling and his phoenix eyes were filled with deathly coldness. He put more force on the dagger making Qin Wenya close her eyes and frown because of the pain she was feeling. 

”Now speak how did you get to know about this?”

Just how many more people knew about this? Zhao Wang Lei wondered inside his heart which was filled with panic. 

However, Qin Wenya was now faced with another conflict. Because she couldn’t answer this question of Zhao Wang Lei. 

Otherwise, Xi Ying would destroy her son’s future. 

Even if Zhao Wang Lei turned against Xi Ying after this, Qin Wenya knew very well that Xi Ying was still very powerful to destroy Zhao Zhuang Chen. Also, she would only be informing Zhao Wang Lei of a chess piece that was never his but had invaded his territory deeper. 

She would never want that. 

Since he didn’t want to make her son the Emperor then she would also not tell him ever that Xi Ying was against him. 

So Qin Wenya smiled calmly and said 

”This Empress has her own sources, Your Majesty.”
