Standing up from his seat, Xi Ying smiled coldly.

Indeed, the Emperor was wise. Because he thought that his decision would never be in favor of Li Clan, he made her tell his decision first already knowing that others would follow him.

Now all these schemes no longer surprised Xi Ying. Seeing how the Emperor was using his own son for his selfish motives, Xi Ying thought that he does not even have any right to complain that the Emperor was using him.

He really doesn't understand that why General Li was bent on being loyal towards such a man just because he was the Emperor.

He alone could snatch the throne from the Emperor but he knew that he would also have to fight against General Li and that would, in turn, made him against Li Rui, which he doesn't want.

He never wants her to stand against him. He wants her to stand by his side, always.

Looking at the curious faces of the ministers, Xi Ying sighed and opened his mouth to tell his decision.

"Your Majesty, this Minister agrees with …."

The pause seemed to make everyone restless but Xi Ying enjoyed it fully.

Looking towards the two princes, he smiled sincerely. One of them was already smirking in victory thinking that his decision would be in favor and the other was standing calmly with his usual gentle smile on his lips as if the victory and defeat never matters to him.

"the second Prince's opinion."

And the smirk from Zhao Zhuang Chen's lips disappeared instantly.

For a moment, surprise flickered in Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes but he soon composed his expression to one that was of complete calmness and a lazy indifference.

Zhao Zhuang Chen's hot glare was fixed on the young prime minister but he didn't seem to mind it. Without giving any explanation, Xi Ying calmly sat down on his seat. His eyes were cold and carried indifference.

He could feel the Emperor's cold gaze on himself but he remained calm.

After he had told his decision, the outcome was somewhat predictable. Zhao Zhang Wei got more ministers on his side than Zhao Zhuang Chen.

"Since the ministers of the Imperial Court want to go with the second Prince's opinions, Zhen orders Minister Xin to give the Li Clan ancestral book to General Li."

So after this long discussion, the book of war strategies finally went to General Li's hands.

The Emperor dismissed the Imperial Court after that.

Just as Xi Ying stepped out of the Imperial Court, he was blocked by General Li. Looking at the cold-faced General Li, Xi Ying smirked.

"What? General Li, please don't tell this Lord that you have come to fight with me just because I didn't go according to how the dear Emperor, to whom you are so loyal, wanted me to."

General Li narrowed his eyes at the young man in front of him who was also his son-in-law.

"What are you planning behind my back?"

Xi Ying chuckled and said

"General Li, either you're a fool or you think that this Lord is a fool. If this Lord is planning something behind your back then Why would I tell you everything? Just because you are asking me…hm? "

General Li's lips twitched in anger when he saw the playfulness in Xi Ying's eyes. Taking a deep breath to calm his anger down, he asked directly.

"Have you done something that made even the Crown Prince hate me?"

He asked Xi Ying seriously.

He had noticed the Crown Prince's hateful gaze towards himself.

Why would the Crown Prince suddenly want to go against him? General Li didn't understand even a bit.

He had been waiting for Zhao Wang Lei to leave the throne so that Li Clan would no longer be in any danger but his dear son-in-law was not making anything easy for him.

Just as General Li asked this question, Xi Ying noticed Zhao Zhuang Chen talking with a minister who spoke in his favor. He was looking towards him and General Li.

He, of course, knew what was going on in the foolish prince's mind seeing them together. But he smiled provocatively at the already irritated prince because of his defeat.

General Li noticed his smile and turned to look at the person whom he was smiling at but when he saw the person his fists clenched and he looked at Xi Ying with pursed lips.

"Prime Minister Xi…"

He had just started when Xi Ying placed his hand on his shoulder and stepped closer to whisper in his ear. All the while, he was looking at Zhao Zhuang Chen with a smile.

"General Li, Let this lord show you some light. Even if this Lord has not done anything, believe me, he doesn't like your face even a bit. So relax a bit and leave everything to this Lord."

In fact, General Li didn't even know that the Crown prince was involved with General Yun in framing him. The two conditions were made by him. He never told anything to General Li.

He would be a fool if he told General Li all this because he already knew that the General would try to stop him from doing this and Xi Ying doesn't want any obstacles in his plan especially and old General.

Taking a step back, when he saw that General Li wanted to say something, he didn't let him and said

"Now, Now General Li don't get so anxious and don't make this Lord feel the same. This Lord's wangfei is waiting for him at the home, so now with or without your permission, this Lord is leaving." 

After that, he turned around to go out of the suffocating Palace but was again stopped by Eunuch Wang.

"Minister Xi, Your Majesty demands your presence in the Imperial Study room."

"Sure, this one will be there in some time." said Xi Ying and waved Eunuch Wang to go away.

'Everyone is silently planning to keep him away from his wangfei. Xi Ying muttered under his breath.

The next moment he heard General Li's voice from his behind.

"Minister Xi, does my daughter even wait for you?"

Xi Ying's fists clenched when he heard a snicker from his behind.

"Well, this General doesn't about that, however, my Wangfei is waiting for me in my Manor."

Standing at the same spot, Xi Ying saw General passing by his side and his trembling shoulders because of his laughter.

'The stinky General. He is just jealous of me.'

Xi Ying muttered again and then walked to the Imperial Study room with an extra coldness lingering around him.
