"Don't take Xi Ying to Empress Mother's chambers ever again without our permission."
Zhao Wang Lei said this but instantly regretted the choice of his words. He sighed heavily a little disappointed in himself as he was noticing that he was panicking too much these days and in that panic, he was losing his composure and doing many mistakes.
This was not good for him.
He can't do mistakes. One mistake could lose him everything he had now and everything he wanted to get in the future.
He breathed deeply and when he looked at Zhao Zhang Wei again, he was not surprised to see the confused expression on his face.
Zhao Wang Lei thought for a moment and finally came up with a reasonable reason.
"Zhang Wei, Empress Mother has just come out of isolation. She doesn't like to talk with people too much. Zhen doesn't want her to feel annoyed and then go back to live in isolation. And Prime Minister Xi…you should know how he is. He is too straightforward so Zhen is afraid that he will say something that Empress Mother would not like."
Zhao Zhang Wei's head was lowered as if he was thinking over Zhao Wang Lei's words.
But in truth, his eyes were filled with mockery.
Zhao Wang Lei could really lie very well. He thought inside his heart.
And when he raised his head, he had a look of understanding on his face and said
"This one understands, Your Majesty, This one indeed has been at fault and deserved this punishment."
Zhao Zhang Wei smiled in guilt as he pressed the wound on his forehead.
Zhao Wang Lie was relieved to see that Zhao Zhang Wei understood what he had wanted to make him understand. He asked him not to tell anything about this meeting to Xi Ying for one last time and then waved his hand to dismiss him.
"Put some ointment on your wound."
He said to Zhang Zhang Wei before the latter left the room.
Zhao Zhang Wei immediately thanked the Emperor for his care and then left the Imperial Study room. On the other hand, Zhao Wang Lei was now lost in other thoughts.
If Xi Ying didn't like Zhao Zhuang Chen so much then he would surely try that Zhao Zhuang Chen doesn't become the Emperor.
Zhao Wang Lei sighed. He actually doesn't care who will become the next Emperor. He had all the arrangements made of himself.
He had a place where he would take Yi Jie and live the rest of his life with her peacefully…somewhere no one would be able to disturb them…where she would not have to face any trouble and like a queen.
They would have their own small family.
A small smile graced Zhao Wang Lei's lips as he thought of all this. However, his eyes were filled with a craziness that could be seen from a naked pair of eyes.
Zhao Wang Lei was crazy for Yi Jie. This craziness was not new. It had been there for years but it has only increased only for all these years so much so that he was now ready to sacrifice such a big Empire he had managed for so many years just for a woman he wanted to get.
Was it love or his obsession? Only the time could tell.
But for now, Zhao Wang Lie had to put a full stop to his imaginations when Qin Wenya's face flashed inside his mind.
If Zhao Zhuang Chen doesn't become the next Emperor then he knew that Qin Wenya would not sit idly. Qin would surely destroy Xin.
Again, he didn't care but the fight between the two Empires would surely create troubles for the life he was planning after leaving the throne.
So what should he do?
Should he make Zhao Zhuang Chen the next Emperor and go against Xi Ying or he should make Zhao Zhang Wei the next Emperor and go against Qin Wenya and hence the Qin Empire?
Again killing Xi Ying and then making Zhao Zhuang Chen the next Empire seemed to be a better option to Zhao Wang Lei.
But how could he kill Xi Ying?
Zhao Wang Lei sighed in frustration as he thought about this new problem now.

Xi Ying reached the Xi Manor.
His mind was still filled with everything he got to know in the Imperial Palace. However, as soon as he got down from his horse, he forgot everything, and the urge to see his wife got stronger than anything.
It was strange how he could not live without seeing Li Rui after every few hours.
A small smile graced Xi Ying's lips as he stepped inside Xi Manor.
"My Lord, Lord Yi is in Plum Courtyard."
Xi Ying halted amidst his steps when he heard An Shing's words.
In Plum Courtyard…does it not mean that Yi Junjie was with Li Rui?
His eyes went cold and he asked
"What is he doing there?"
An Shing bowed his head and answered his master.
"This servant doesn't know about that, My Lord."
Xi Ying's face was emotionless and he immediately started to walk towards Plum Courtyard. Was it weird that he didn't like the fact of Yi Junjie and Li Rui being in the same place?
Xi Ying, however, didn't care if it was weird or he was being too possessive.
There was only one person in this world whom he loved so much and he only cared about that person…his Rui.
Inside the Plum Courtyard, Xi Ying's eyes roamed restlessly to find his wife's figure.
However, the living room he was standing inside was empty.
Xi Ying sighed and walked towards the room that was just beside Li Rui's room... the room that now belonged to him too as he had never spent a single night out of Plum Courtyard for so many days now.
Xi Ying opened the door of the room without even knocking on the door. He just knew that Yi Junjie must be here.
Last time too, when Yi Junjie was here after Li Mei's death, Li Rui and Yi Junjie had talked in this room only.
Xi Ying composed his expression before he pushed the door open. He knew that he couldn't show much anger and frustration in front of Li Rui otherwise she will find out. Though he had told her the last time that he didn't like Yi Junjie, he didn't want her to feel that he was trying to stop her from meeting her Elder Brother …something that he really wanted to do.
However, when the door opened and Xi Ying saw the scene inside the room, his eyes went sharp and cold.
