Xi Ying suppressed the rising iron taste inside his heart with very difficulty. He would always feel like coughing out red blood whenever he remembered that day.
Ever in his life, he had thought that he would do so many foolish things. Not only did he trust blindly the wrong person who was none other than his shadow guard. He even did help a man who could cross any limit for his selfish and sick mind.
The Emperor of Xin … he was using his own people to get a woman whom he should not desire at all. She was a married woman …a woman who was living very happily with her family for so many years.
Xii Ying came out of his trance when he heard General Li saying something.
"You will not tell anything to anyone, not even Rui."
Although General said these words while looking at him, Xi Ying thought that the middle-aged General was more likely assuring himself.
"Are you scared General Li? Are you scared of what Rui will think about you if she really gets to know everything?"
Xi Ying asked General Li with a mocking smile on his face.
He chuckled mockingly again when he saw General Li avoiding his eyes. Shaking his head, he sighed and whispered
"Do not worry, I will not tell her anything."
General Li looked at Xi Ying with a surprised face. He had not expected him to agree so easily. However, Xi Ying was not finished yet.
"I will not tell Rui anything …not because I am accepting your words but because I don't want her to see her father's selfishness whom she had obeyed unconditionally for so many years."
Xi Ying saw General Li's eyes getting cold again but he didn't care at all and continued with what he had actually wanted to say.

At this moment, Li Rui was walking towards the hall of Li Manor that had the common study room.
She sighed as she remembered her mother forcing her to go and look for her husband. She knew the truth. Her mother was actually telling her to go and look for her own husband (General Li) who was her father also.
Li Rui nodded her head when the guards standing at the entrance of the hall greeted her. She stepped inside the hall and walked further inside towards the common study room.
Just outside the door, she paused suddenly.
'What if he was inside …what will she do then?'
As she thought this, her hand went to push the door a little and now she could clearly hear the conversation going inside the room. She had wanted to go inside immediately but she paused again when she heard the content of that conversation.
It was Xi Ying saying something to her father.
"General Li, the real purpose of this visit was to tell you that now I will go against the Emperor."
Li Rui stepped back slowly but she never left from there. Standing at the same place, she continued to hear Xi Ying and her father's talk or it was an argument.
"What do you mean by that?"
General Li asked exasperatedly getting another shock.
Xi Ying still looked indifferent as he said
"It is the time to change the Emperor. The current Emperor is no longer capable to hold that place and I will ensure that he leaves the throne. I don't care what I would have to do for that…even if it comes to killing him by my hands I will not care."
"You can't do that, Xi Ying."
General Li said loudly as he stepped forward
This time, Xi Ying looked at the middle-aged General coldly and General Li instantly understood the meaning behind those cold eyes. He changed his words patiently and said
"You can't do that, Prime Minister Xi. I can't let that happen and Prime Minister Xi also knows it. It is my and my clan's responsibility to safeguard Imperial Clan, especially the Emperor. My ancestors... they have sworn to protect him so Prime Minister Xi if you do any such thing then you will be going against Li Clan."
General Li tried to make Xi Ying understand in the best possible way.
He thought that because Xi Ying had feelings for Li Rui he would never want to go against Li Clan.
However, when he raised his head he saw that Xi Ying was not even looking at him. He seemed to be looking somewhere.
General Li followed the direction Xi Ying was looking into and his face went cold when he saw a silhouette through the doors of the study room.
Anger and panic flashed in his eyes.
He was about to step forward and see who it was when his arm was grabbed and Xi Ying signed him to stay silent.
"Rui"
Whispered Xi Ying in a very low voice and saw the fear flashing in General Li's eyes.
'Of course, he would be afraid.' Xi Ying said mockingly inside his heart.
He was afraid to fall in his daughter's eyes.
However, he didn't know why he told General Li something that made General Li's fears sweep away.
"She just came."
Xi Ying whispered again in a very low voice that was audible only to him and General Li.
His eyes, all the while didn't leave the shadow of that silhouette.
'Perhaps his wife had never eavesdropped before or she would have known that her shadow could be seen through the door as she stood there.'
Xi Ying's eyes shone with amusement as he seemed to have found something which Li Rui doesn't seem to be capable to do.
However, General Li who saw his expression felt annoyed.
Ignoring General Li's annoyance filled eyes, Xi Ying continued
"Rui doesn't me, General Li."
Xi Ying said as he looked at the shadow of that thin figure.
'That day she also had heard something like this and she decided to trust Princess Wenling's words. He wondered if now she would trust him.
Wasn't she capable of finding whether a person was speaking truth or was telling a lie?
That day also, she was right…because in Princess Wenling's eyes the words she said were the truth.
But now, he was also not lying. Then she should trust him…right?
With this thought, Xi Ying continued to say whatever he had inside his heart to General Li.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Xi Ying suppressed the rising iron taste inside his heart with very difficulty. He would always feel like coughing out red blood whenever he remembered that day.
