Chapter 695 Qin Wenya Provoking Zhao Wang Lei

　　Zhao Wang Lei’s eyes were so cold that Qin Wenya herself was startled. She had never seen him like this before. She gulped nervously when she felt the dagger on her neck moving more deeper. Her forehead started to cover with sweat slowly. Qin Wenya had never thought that there would come a day when she would be scared of Zhao Wang Lei. Perhaps this was what fueled her anger and her fear vanished suddenly. Raising her head, she looked at Zhao Wang Lei with equal coldness in her eyes and said 

”Think before doing anything, Your Majesty. Does Your Maajesty think that Qin Empire will leave Xin without any questions if Bengong was killed suddenly one night?”

These words brought Zhao Wang Lei out of his trance. 

He looked at Qin Wenya with anger but he knew better and so he removed his dagger from Qin Wenya’s neck. 

His fingers pinched her chin tightly, he asked her sharply.

”Speak Qin Wenya, how did you come to know of this and how much do you know exactly?”

Qin Wenya stared at him for a few moments in silence and then chuckled suddenly. She threw away Zhao Wang Lei’s hand from her chin. As she stood up, she messaged her chin gently and spoke

”Ha…Your Majesty, why do you think that this Empress will tell you about her sources after seeing how much Your Majesty wishes to kill this Empress?”

Zhao Wang Lei had a very strong urge to kill her then and there because to him, Qin Wenya seemed to be a great threat at that moment. 

He suddenly stood up from the chair, he was sitting on and then walked out of the inner hall. 

He was afraid that if he stayed, he would do something he would regret later upon. 

Killing Noble Consort Shu was eaasy years ago because she didn’t have anyone who could speak up for her. However, killing Qin Wenyya was not that easy. The woman had a whole Empire backing her up. He needed to think of some method to get rid of Qin Wenya. 

Qin Wenya who was now sure that Zhao Wang Lei would not do anythong to her followed him out of the inner hall with a bright and cold smile on her lips. 

”Your Majesty…”

She called out in a coquesttish voice as she followed him. 

The old Momo and Eunuch Wang who were standing outside the inner hall saw this scene and silently lowered their heads while Zhao Wang Lei had an emotionless face. 

Qin Wenya continued regardless of anything. 

”Your Majesty, won’t you stay for the night in this Empress’chambers?”

Qin Wenya asked innocently. 

Eunuch Wang shook his head as he felt his master’s overwhelming aura. 

He could feel that his master was very angry and the Empress was intentionally provoking him. 

He heaved a sigh of relief when they were out of the Empress’ chambers.

Though Zhao Wang Lei left Qin Wenya’s chambers silently that night, the fire of his anger had not calmed down at all. After he stepped inside his chambers, he destroyed almost everything kicking the things here and there in anger. He wanted to find out from where did Qin Wenya get to know all this. However, he didn’t have anyway because he didn’t even know where he should start from. If Qin Wenya knew about this, someone also knew about this. So he needed to finish both of these people otherwise he could fall into a great trouble. That night, he didn’t go to sleep but went to his study room. He brought out the map that he had asked Eunuch Wang to hide in the afternoon and laid it on the table. 

Zhao Wang Lei was emotionless throughout the night. 

He marked a few places with the brush in his hands. It was almost in the morning, he wrote a letter and then asked his shadow guard to deliver it to someone in the neighboring Empire. 

He had understood. 

People were slowly starting to come to know of his secret so he also needed to quicken his process of destroying the Li Clan and then getting Yi Jie.

The next morning, when Xi Ying entered the Imperial Court, he first went to Zhao Zhang Wei’s Xinhe Palace. 

There were two reasons behind his visit. 

One was to ask about Yi Huiqing’s health ..something that his wife wanted to know and the other was to talk to Zhao Zhang Wei about his plan of destroying Qin Wenya completely. 

That’s why he came early to the Imperial Palace.

However, as soon as Zhao Wang Lei got to know that Xi Ying was in the Imperial Palace, he send Eunuch Wang to call him to the Imperial Study room. 

So when Xi Ying was just at the entrance of Xinhe Palace, Eunuch Wang found him and then told him that Zhao Wang Lei wanted to see him. 

Xi Ying was surprised. 

He looked at the Imperial Guard who looked ready to go inside the Xinhe Palace and inform Zhao Zhang Wei of his arrival. 

Xi Ying waved his hand to dismiss him and said 

”This Lord will go and visit His Majesty then.”

The Imperial Guard bowed his head and took his place at the entrance to guard it while Xi Ying followed Eunuch Wang to the Imperial Study room. 

After all, after finding out that Qin Wenya had tried to kill Yi Jie, he would have tried to find out the why behind it and if he tried to investigate then he might or not have come to know that Qin Wenya knew his secret. 

In both situations, he would have felt restless. 

If he didn’t know why Qin Wenya wanted to kill Yi Jie, he would be restless and if he would come to know why Qin Wenya tried to kill Yi Jie, even then he would be restless. 

Xi Ying smiled coldly. 

He wondered what kind of storm the last night had brought to Zhao Wang Lei!   

But if somehow Qin Wenya had revealed his name, Xi Ying’s eyes flickered and his hand went to his sword, then perhaps he would have to finish Zhao Wang Lei’s story today itself. 

Only one of them would be able to stay alive today if this was the matter. 

With these thoughts, Xi Ying stepped inside the Imperial Study room.
