The banquet was filled with whispers after Xi Ying revealed a truth that no one knew.
A silent sob escaped Li Rong's lips as she wondered what would happen to her daughters after this.
She, of course, knew that the situation could no longer be turned in her daughters' favour.
Lu Jianye, on the other hand, frowned when he heard Xi Ying's words. He was more irked when he saw that Li Qiang and Li Na's mother, Li Rong didn't say anything to oppose Xi Ying.
Why was this?
Were they scared of Xi Ying?
His fists placed on his knees clenched tightly.
What exactly does Xi Ying think of himself? Did he think that by staining Li Na's reputation he could free his own wife from the bad reputation?
If it was really this then he would not let it happen!
Li Na was going to be his wife soon. He couldn't let anyone stain her reputation. His parents were already very opposed to this marriage and he didn't want any more difficulties in this marriage.
So without any hesitation, Lu Jianye stood up from his seat and said to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xi is blaming this one's fiance. This one wishes to know if Prime Minister Xi does have any valid evidence to prove whatever he said is really right. Otherwise, Prime Minister Xi better not use his position and bully the people who are scared to say anything against him."
Lu Jianye's father was glaring at Lu Jianye as he heard his son saying this and that to Xi Ying.
How could he stand against Prime Minister Xi! Lu Jianye's father thought inside his heart!
Did his foolishson even know that the young prime minister he was opposing right now could destroy their clan so easily?
If Lu Jianye's father was not so worried of being scolded in between the ongoing argument and getting punished then he would have surely stopped Lu Jianye.
His son was a member of the Imperial Court but he was not so he was more scared of getting punished.
Xi Ying, on the other hand, raised his eyebrow in surprise. He wondered whether Lu Jianye was really stupid or it was just because this stupid love of him was new for now.
Could he not see at all or he had intentionally blinded himself just so that he could stay tempted by the beauty of Li Na who had such an ugly heart.
He had never thought that Lu Jianye was this brave.
Zhao Wang Lei looked at Lu Jianye as if he was looking at him for the first time.
Slowly and slowly, he seemed to recognize Lu Jianye but irritation still lingered in his eyes as he said
"Has everyone forgotten that speaking without being allowed in front of Zhen is a punishable act in the Imperial Palace?
The words clearly expressed the Emperor's anger.
Lu Jianye, Li Qiang, and Li Rong who were pulled by her husband immediately fell down on their knees.
"Apologies, Your Majesty."
The three of them apologized respectfully. Only Xi Ying continued to stand straight with a cold and indifferent expression on his face.
Zhao Wang Lei's cold eyes were filled with anger and his fists were clenched but he could do nothing.
It had been him only who had given so much freedom to Xi Ying.
At this moment, Zhao Wang Lei seemed to realize this and he regretted it immensely. He should have kept Xi Ying under him.
Now with so much freedom, Xi Ying had raised his head so high that even he seemed to be suppressed by him even though he was the Emperor.
The wheels of his mind turned faster and he kept thinking of something by which he could harm Xi Ying…or at least make him regret standing in front of him like this so arrogantly.
And soon he came up with the idea.
His phoenix eyes almost brightened but he needed to leave the banquet hall to implement this idea.
Zhao Wang Lei licked his lips and looked at Xi Ying as he asked
"Prime Minister Xi, as Minister Lu asked you…do you have any evidence for whatever you are claiming?"
"Yes."
Xi Ying said immediately.
"This Lord can present the evidence here in the Imperial Court. However, this Lord wants Your Majesty to promise that Second Young Miss Li and Third Young Miss Li will be punished according to whatever punishment this Lord will decide."
The people in the banquet hall looked at Xi Ying with parted mouths and slightly widened eyes.
How could he ask for such a thing from the Emperor!
It was solely the Emperor who had the right to punish anyone for their deeds.
So how could Xi Ying ask for such a right from the Emperor himself!
Li Rong's eyes were wide and she looked shocked. Tear after tear fell down from her eyes. She desperately wanted to speak and stop this. However, every time Li Qiang would look at her with a blank face, she would go silent and don't say anything.
Even Zhao Wang Lei looked shocked and infuriated at Xi Ying's demand.
"Prime Minister Xi"
His voice was cold as he continued
"Do you even know what you are using from us?"
In the answer, Xi Ying nodded his head without any hesitation and said
"Of Course, this Lord does, Your Majesty. This Lord knows that this demand might be a little too much to grant. However, this Lord doesn't think that there is anything wrong with this Lord's demand."
Xi Ying's eyes flashed with longing as well as despair as he remembered how Li Rui had lived those four years in Xi Manor. If that misunderstanding had not been created between them then she would not have suffered so much.
She would have been able to see Xi Ling's childhood as he grew up from a newborn baby to a three-year-old child.
He…he had not missed four years of their life that they could have spent together and happily and perhaps by now he would have already made her fall in love with him.
All these dreams that he could already imagine inside his mind made him feel more furious at Li Na and Li Caihong.
"In fact, it should be Rui who should be deciding the punishment for Li Na and Li Caihong."
