His Rui

Chapter 701 Persuading Zhao Zhang Wei

　　Xi Ying had already expected the kind of silence after his words he was facing this moment. 

He looked at the second prince’s face calmly whose face was emotionless. It was a few moments later, Zhao Zhang Wei opened his mouth and said 

”Benwang will not let Prime Minister Xi do any such thing.”

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly. 

His smile was filled with provocation for Zhao Zhang Wei who thought that Xi Ying was trying to say that he couldn’t stop him as long as Xi Ying wanted to go ahead with his plan. 

And this was true to a great extent. 

Xi Ying had so many people on his side and a very good plan to make even Zhao Wang Lei on his side so he would face no problem in his plan. 

The only reason that he told Zhao Zhang Wei about his plan was that he wanted him to agree as well. Zhao Zhang Wei was his partner so he would like him to be aware of his plan and especially when it concerned his mother. 

However, Xi Ying didn’t appreciate Zhao Zhang Wei’s threat. 

Perhaps Zhao Zhang Wei seemed to realize that in face of Xi Ying’s politeness, he has been very rude so he changed his words. 

”Prime Minister Xi, Benwang’s one of reason to go against Zhao Wang Lei is revealing his true face to everyone. Benwang wants everyone to know that Benwang’s mother was killed by the same man who claims to love her unconditionally without any reason. So how can you expect Benwang to let you do such a thing?”

Xi Ying nodded his head in response to Zhao Zhang Wei’s words. 

”This Lord understands, Your Highness. However, it will be just temporary. This Lord will put all the blame on Qin Wenya for now and after we will achieve our purpose, we can always turn everything to the one we want. We can even blame that person for punishing the Empress for his own deeds.”

Zhao Zhang Wei frowned but Xi Ying knew that he was thinking about his words. So he continued 

”If we proceeded with this plan, the first prince will have one less and a very important person who can help him greatly removed from his side and we can use it for our benefit.”

A few moments later, Zhao Zhang Wei finally nodded his head and said

”Benwang will help Prime Minister Xi.”

Xi Ying smiled. He was relieved. Fortunately, it was not as difficult as he had thought. His thought about Zhao Zhang Wei also improved after this. 

The prince could listen to him with an open mind and also could take his suggestion without feeling any anger toward him. Unlike Zhao Wang Lei who would follow him but now he could see very well that every time he would be more guarded because of him showcasing the abilities that he had been using in the same Emperor’s favor for so many years in the past. 

After this, Xi Ying discussed his plan with Zhao Zhang Wei. By the time, he was finished Zhao Zhang Wei was also impressed by his ability to think of a plan that had no faults. 

Because the person who would be responsible for making this plan a success would be Zhao Wang Lei. Because if he didn’t then it would be he who would be harmed in the end. 

Everyone would come to know that it was actually Zhao Wang Lei who killed Noble Consort Shu. 

”What does Prime Minister Xi wants Benwang to do?”

Zhao Zhang Wei asked Xi Ying directly. 

Xi Ying was somewhat happy with his directness and willingness to help and he said 

”This Lord wishes that Your Highness will bring this matter to court. Afterward, this Lord will manage everything.”

After Zhao Zhang Wei agreed to help, Xi Ying stood up from the chair and turned around to leave. However, he had just turned around when he heard Zhao Zhang Wei calling him again. 

”Anything else, Your Highness?”

Xi Ying asked in confusion. 

It was only when he saw Zhao Zhang Wei’s blank expression again, that he remembered something from a few moments ago. He maintained a calm expression on his face and waited for Zhao Zhang Wei to say whatever he wanted to say to him.

Zhao Zhang Wei opened his mouth to say what he wanted to ask. However, what came out of his mouth was. 

”If possible, please bring Lady Li to meet Qingqing sometimes. She will be happy.”

”Ohhh…but that would be a little difficult, Your Highness. Rui is in her fifth month. This Lord can’t risk taking her out openly …especially to the Imperial Palace where there is nothing but danger for her.”

Zhao Zhang Wei seemed to have expected this answer already, so he didn’t argue.

He knew that Xi Ying had agreed to bring Li Rui to Xinhe Palace before only because Yi Huiqing’s life was in danger. 

This time, he would not bring her unless it was some kind of emergency. He just said it because he couldn’t say what he had wanted to say. 

Xi Ying saw that Zhao Zhang Wei was not saying anything so he spoke.

”If Your Highness has nothing else to say then this Lord will leave.”

Zhao Zhang Wei merely nodded his head and Xi Ying turned around to leave. 

His eyes were filled with a little bit of disappointment. 

Somehow he understood that Zhao Zhang Wei wanted to talk to him about his not-so-good relationship with his wife these days. 

However, he couldn’t bear to reveal this deteriorating relationship to anyone else. He didn’t want anyone to know that the things between him and his wangfei were not alright. 

Xi Ying sighed as he stepped out of the study room. 

According to him, Zhao Zhang Wei really needed some advice. He knew how to express his love when Yi Huiqing was unconscious by taking her for treatment to Yantun valley. He could do anything for her. However, he still didn’t know how he should make Yi Huiqing know of his feelings for her. 

However, before all this, Zhao Zhang Wei needed to understand that he indeed was lacking in this area and he needed to learn a lot…and for that, he first needed to understand that there was nothing wrong in bowing down his head sometimes. 

Since he had committed mistakes, he would have to bow down his head in front of Yi Huiqing many times.     

In other words, he needed to learn a lot…also before he would lose even without trying.
