The noble families sitting around soon noticed the commotion going on around the Li family and also guessed what was going on.
The Emperor raised his hand and the performances on the stage stopped instantly.
With a frown, he looked towards the front seat where every member from Li family was standing at this moment while the Empress, Qin Wenya suddenly noticed that Xi Ying was still inside the banquet hall.
Her eyes flickered and she glanced towards the seat where her daughter should be seated however didn't find anyone.
Panic flashed in Qin Wenya's eyes and she hurriedly asked the maid standing behind her to go and look for the Princess.
On the other hand, Zhao Wang Lei glanced at Eunuch Wang and the old Eunuch immediately stepped forward and asked in a loud voice.
"General Li, Is everything alright?"
Eunuch Wang saw a Young Eunuch standing and looked at him without any emotion on his face.
The young Eunuch at least had learned the palace rules by now. Feeling Eunuch Wang's gaze who served the Emperor, on himself, he stepped forward and lowered his head.
"May Your Majesty live long. This lowly one greets Your Majesty."
After paying respects to the Emperor, the young Eunuch continued
"Your Majesty, this one was asked to bring General Li to the Lianxin hall. The matter is related to the Li family's daughter."
Lianxin hall was the hall that was surrounded by the guest rooms and where all the noble families were staying according to their rankings.
"What happened to Lady Li now? "
Zhao Wang Lei asked with a face full of displeasure.
"Zhen just wants to celebrate one festival with his subjects and their families peacefully but this small thing seems to be near impossible."
Everyone in the banquet hall lowered their heads when they saw that the Emperor looked very upset and displeased.
It was only Li Caihong who couldn't seem to wait and interrupted this silence
"Second Uncle, we should hurry there. We should go and look if Elder Sister is fine."
The Empress, Qin Wenya was although worried about her daughter, she was observing everything.
How could she not see that Li Caihong's worry was just a pretense?
Her eyes flickered and she saw that Xi Ying was sitting alone and her fists trembled with excitement.
Was it Li Rui whom the Eunuch was talking about?
She glanced at Li Caihong and seeing the brightness of the girl's eyes she suddenly thought that what she was thinking could be right also.
Approval flashed through the excited Empress eyes as she looked at Li Caihong.
If the things were really the way she was thinking them to be, then the situation would only create something best for their upcoming plans.
Now, even if Wenling could not make Lord Xi sleep with her, she would have a chance to come out and take Li Rui's position.
At least her daughter would have more right and more respected in everyone's eyes and hence would be more deserving to be a main wife.
Qin Wenya glanced at Zhao Wang Lei who looked upset for some reason and hurriedly stood up from her seat.
"Your Majesty, since the matter is related to General Li's family which is one of the high-ranked noble families in our Imperial court and the banquet is organized by Princess Wenling, this one wishes to go and see what happened to Li family's daughter."
Zhao Wang Lei looked at the Empress silently for a few moments.
His face was still cold but in the end, he finally said
"Since the Empress says so, Zhen will accompany you. After all, Li family daughter's Li Rui has saved our grandson's life today."
Sitting on his seat, Xi Ying really wished to roll his eyes seeing everyone acting with so much dedication.
'wishes to see what happened to Li family's daughter…Zhen will accompany you…"
Isn't it already clear what kind of situation they would see a girl in?…especially when a Eunuch came running like this and he was not told to say anything in detail.
They are trying to act like a fool thinking inside their hearts that they are very smart.
When the Emperor stood up from the throne, everyone else also stood up from their seats.
Zhao Wang Lei walked ahead with Qin Wenya followed by Eunuch Wang and everyone else followed them.
Walking a few steps away from the Emperor and Empress, Yi Jie eyes were filled with panic and tears. She looked back and saw Xi Ying walking behind them without any expression on his face.
A frown marred his face as she held her husband's sleeve making General Li look at his wife's face.
"Heng, Lord Xi…he doesn't look worried at all after hearing that something happened to Rui. I thought that he…he cared for our Rui."
General Li also looked back and saw a lazy expression on Xi Ying's face and his own face went cold.
'Could it be that he really trusted the wrong person with his daughter?'
General Li thought for a moment inside his heart. However, he couldn't agree with his own thoughts.
There was something inside his heart that told him not to worry about Rui as long as Xi Ying was by his daughter's side.
Turning back to look at his wife's face, he patted her cheek and said
"Maybe it is not something so exaggerating. You know how people make every small thing in the Imperial Palace something very big."
He tried to comfort his wife although he was also very worried inside his heart.
However, Li Caihong who was walking behind her second uncle and second aunt also heard her second Uncle's words. She frowned and said immediately after General Li finished
"How can Second Uncle say something like that? Second Uncle should remember the incident of four years back. That time, it was truly something big. Elder Sister lost something which is very precious to every girl. What if this time also…"
