Chapter 555 The Restless Zhao Wang Lei  "Prime Minister Xi, are you sure that it was they who planned this attack?"

Zhao Wang Lei who was now seated on the sofa looked at the badly beaten convoy ministers asked Xi Ying in a cold voice. 

He looked angry and he was indeed angry on finding out that the so called proposal of treaty from the neighboring Empire was nothing but a pretence. 

In the reality, they were here for a revenge. 

Of Course, Zhao Wang Lei didn't care for whoever they planned to attack. The only thing that he could not accept was betrayal. 

He, the Emperor of Xin, was lied to by all these people. 

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xi Ying said without any hesitation lingering in his voice. 

His eyes looked no less colder than Zhao Wang Lei. Instead he was more angry than anyone else. After all, banquet was organized by him and hence the safety of everyone was also his resposinsibility. 

He has never face any sich situation before where someone else had been in danger just because of his one mistake.

On the other hand, the ministers in the convoy suddenly looked at each other after they heard the Emperor's words. 

Their eyes flickered and one of them raised his head despite the pain he feeling inside his body and said to Xi Ying.

"What evidence do you have to prove that it was us who planned the attack?"

Just after he finished his words. The other minister turned to look at Zhao Wang Lei and said 

"If Xin doesn't have any evidence then Xin can't keep us here in such a situation. The Emperor should know that we are ministers sent by a neighboring Empire. If we were treated harshly and His Majesty came to know about this then it would not be good for Xin."

There was a cold smile on Xi Ying's lips as he heard the words from the minister's mouth. His smile was cold but it surely had the mocking he felt for the said words.

At the same time, Zhao Wang Lei sneered coldly. 

"Do all of you not know who exactly will be in trouble even if your coward Emperor decided to start a war?"

The harsh truth seemed to slap the minister awake. 

Their faces that were already red because of being beaten went redder and they bowed their heads in embarrassment. 

Indeed their Empire didn't have any money to even start a war. Even if somehow they started it, there would not be any chances of their winning in any situation.     

Zhao Wang Lei obviously trusted Xi Ying. 

He knew that the young prime minister must be having some valid evidence to say that these ministers were involved in the attack. 

With all this, when he remembered that the prince of the enemy Empire was killed during the last war, he could feel that their Emperor must have chosen this cowardly way to avenge the death. 

"He did a very big mistake."

Zhao Wang Lei sneered coldly and after that, he said coldly.

"Put them in the prison. Zhen wants someone to inform their Emperor how his intelligent ministers were caught in Xin. After that, Zhen will decide their punishment."

Eunuch Wang nodded his head and called more Imperial Guards. The one who was already there and the one who came now dragged the ministres forcefully towards the prison. 

On the other hand, Xi Ying's face was a little calmer now. 

Zhao Wang Lei acted in this matter just as he wanted him to do. Perhaps there was still some rationality inside his mind that was making him realize that he was still the Emperor of Xin or perhaps it was something else that made him do all these that only a diligent Emperor would do. 

Xi Ying didn't really care. 

No matter how much Zhao Wang Lei would be good, even if he tried to change himself now, Xi Ying would not abandon his idea of killing him mercilessly. 

The pain inside his heart whenever he would remember his past life, his wife's and child's cold body …all of it was still there. 

Xi Ying knew that it was going to stay there …for a very long time or perhaps only vanish away with his death. 

And for this pain, the only person who was responsible was Zhao Wang Lei so how could he let go of this man so easily!

Even now, Xi Ying didn't want Zhao Wang Lei to stay calm. He liked to see him panicked, helpless, and restless. 

"Your Majesty, this Lord still has something else to say."

Xi Ying said calmly and Zhao Wang Lei immediately paid attention to him. 

Perhaps the Emperor thought that Xi Ying was again going to talk about the enemy Empire only and hence paid so much attention to him, however, Xi Ying proved Zhao Wang Lei wrong very soon. 

With his next words, he indeed snatched away Zhao Wang Lei's calmness. 

"This Lord had some doubts on the convoy's people already. This Lord had doubted their intentions since this so-called treaty was offered. So this Lor had requested the first prince to investigate the convoy's people."

Zhao Wang Lei's face was calm but Xi Ying still noticed how the robes around his sleeves wrinkled slightly. 

His fists were clenched tightly. 

Xi Ying was very satisfied in his heart. 

There was a different kind of satisfaction every time he would see Zhao Wang Lei trying to hide his panic. 

How long he will do this!

"Your Majesty, His Highness send his people to this Lord last night and assured this Lord that there was nothing that convoy's people were planning. He even said their only aim was to sign this treaty so that they can improve the situation of their Empire with the help of Xin. In other words,  they were helpless and unable to do anything against us. And now today this attack…Your Majesty, This Lord doubts His Highness' intentions."

And Zhao Wang Lei's face went taut. 

He silently cursed inside his heart. 

That foolish Zhao Zhuang Chen!

In the end, Zhao Zhuang Chen was still involved in all this.
