After leaving Xinhe Palace, Xi Ying finally went to the Imperial Study room.
He smiled coldly when he saw a panicked Eunuch Wang waiting for him at the doors of the Imperial Study room.
Without even asking Xi Ying knew that he was the only reason behind the old Eunuch's panic. After all, the old Eunuch sighed in relief when he saw him and immediately lowered his head.
"Prime Minister Xi."
Eunuch Wang respectfully bowed his head contrary to the arrogance he had earlier in front of Xi Ying. The old Eunuch ha thought that just because he used the Emperor's name to show his own arrogance on him then he would be able to suppress Xi Ying.
However, despite living in the Imperial Palace for so many years, the old Eunuch didn't know that until today the Emperor himself has not been able to suppress Xi Ying then how he, a mere servant of his master, could do this courageous task.
Xi Ying ignored the feeble attempt of Eunuch Wang in apologizing to him.
He knew very well about Eunuch Wang's foxy behavior.
If the master was so selfish and cunning then the servant couldn't be so pure. As Xi Ying remembered this, he also remembered how An Si had told him that Eunuch Wang and that old nanny were the close servants of the Emperor.
Xi Ying's eyes snickered suddenly and the cold smile on his lips widened suddenly.
'How could he miss such a good opportunity?'
With the last cold and indifferent glance on Eunuch Wang, Xi Ying finally stepped inside the Imperial Study room. He immediately noticed the Emperor sitting on his chair across the study table as he wrote something on rice paper with his brush.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xi Ying said very normally as he entered the study room and stood in front of the busy Emperor.
Zhao Wang Lei's phoenix eyes narrowed a little before he raised his head and smiled.
However, seeing the forced smile on his lips, Xi Ying immediately understood that the Emperor didn't like that he came so late. He was very happy with this outcome.
For now, Xi Ying knew that he could only do these small things to not let this Emperor live peacefully. But one day, he will surely avenge everything he lost in his life because of this man.
Even standing in front of such a disgusting man without being able to kill him was very suffocating but he had no other way.
Regardless of being powerful or not, Zhao Wang Lei was still an Emperor, and killing him in the daylight in front of the Emperor in the end, was a regicide.
He finally was living a happy and peaceful life with his wife and son. He was not stupid to commit such a mistake.
"Did this minister make Your Majesty wait for a long time?"
Xi Ying asked with a polite smile …a smile that didn't have any humor. A smile that represented that he was not satisfied with something.
His smile had a purpose and the purpose was achieved soon. Because Zhao Wang Lei also understood that something had dissatisfied the intelligent and young Prime Minister.
As if Xi Ying didn't feel that his smile was enough, he even said
"Actually, this Minister was on his way to meet Your Majesty but suddenly remembered that High Highness, the second prince didn't attend today's Imperial Court meeting. So this minister thought of visiting him. This minister has already been invited by His Highness to Xinhe Palace many times, however never really got the opportunity. So this minister thought that there was no better opportunity than today."
With these few words of his, Xi Ying already told the Emperor that he had gone to Xinhe Palace. He knew that the Emperor will get to know about his visit to the Xinhe Palace sooner or later. Instead of letting him doubt his loyalty, later on, it was better to explain himself already.
He had a reason.
The old Eunuch tried to be arrogant in front of him so he was dissatisfied and hence he intentionally came late.
Zhao Wang Lei also understood this. He was very angry after understanding everything. He was angry seeing how arrogant Xi Ying was being in front of him. However, he clearly knew how much he needed Xi Ying so he couldn't ignore this thing and asked generously
"Did something happen? Prime Minister Xi seemed to be dissatisfied with something."
"Nothing, Your Majesty. Actually, this Lord had told Eunuch Wang that this Lord will be in front of His Majesty in a few moments but it seemed that His Majesty was in a hurry. So Eunuch Wang insisted that I accompany him immediately to the Imperial Study room. However, the work that this Lord was doing was also very important."
Xi Ying paused for a moment. Looking at the Emperor's face, he observed each and every expression on his face and continued
"This Lord was actually trying to find out from General Li as to why Minister Li didn't attend today's Imperial Court meeting …especially when his son is going to the borders today."
Sure enough, Zhao Wang Lei's eyes flickered immediately, and seeing his reaction, Xi Ying's eyes went colder.
"Did Prime Minister Xi find out anything?"
Hiding the coldness inside his heart, Xi Ying shook his head with the regret clearly visible in his eyes as continued
"Unfortunately No, Your Majesty. Eunuch Wang said that His Majesty immediately needed this Lord to be present there, so this Lord had to leave from there and come here as soon as it was possible."
Zhao Wang Lei frowned deeply after hearing these words. He never told Eunuch Wang to ask Xi Ying to come to the study room hurriedly.
He thought that the old Eunuch spoiled everything. With Xi Ying's ability, he would have been able to find out everything from General Li especially now when General Li trusted him so much.
He was immensely dissatisfied with his old Eunuch's actions.
Xi Ying looked at the deep frown on the Emperor's forehead that clearly expressed his displeasure and he was very pleased seeing this.
To make Zhao Wang Lei weaker, it was very important to remove all his loyal people from his side.
This was the step that he would take to destruct him.
However, this process could only occur slowly. Today was the first step and there would be more opportunities in the future, he was very sure of that.
Thinking this, Xi Ying immediately tried to divert Zhao Wag Lei's attention and asked him
"So how did Your Majesty remember this Minister?"
Zhao Wang Lei immediately came out of his trance and then signed Xi Ying to take the seat on the chair that was placed in front of him just across the study table.
Zhao Wang Lei was silent for a moment as he stared at Xi Ying's expressionless face. Xi Ying wondered silently what was going on in the cunning Emperor's mind and he soon got to know.
"Did Minister Xi undergo any attack a day ago?"

After leaving Xinhe Palace, Xi Ying finally went to the Imperial Study room.
