Chapter 571 The Scared Emperor "What kind of help?"
Zhao Wang Lei asked coldly. Though his face was calm, Xi Ying could clearly see the panic and wariness in his every action. This made Xi Ying feel a little amused.
So Zhao Wang Lei was actually wary of him even though he had not shown any signs of being disloyal to him.
'Was it not why he had planned to kill you?' Xi Ying mocked inside his heart.
In fact, Zhao Wang Lei had always been wary of him. It was not only today. Since the day he had shown intelligence like his father, Zhao Wang Lei had been like this. At some point, Xi Ying remembered how his father sometimes used to tell him he had been a good friend of the Emperor.
But he had always used 'had been'.
Xi Ying wondered if Zhao Wang Lei ever considered him as 'the son of his dear friend'.
Putting a full stop to his thoughts, he looked towards the shadow guard who was still inside the room and said to Zhao Wang Lei.
"Your Majesty, he needs to leave from here. Only then this Lord can talk to you regarding whatever this Lord is here."
Zhao Wang Lei frowned clearly not liking what Xi Ying said. With a calm face, he told the young prime minister.
"Prime Minister Xi, you should be aware that this is not safe for an Emperor. Invading Zhen's chambers is already a big crime. You are still standing here safe because of Zhen…"
Zhao Wang Lei couldn't complete his words because General Li soon interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, the matter is regarding this General's wife. Requesting Your Majesty to hear this General once."
Xi Ying couldn't help but applaud General Li for his words inside his heart. In fact, he was here with this plan only. He knew very well that as long as he mentioned Yi Jie, Zhao Wang Lei would readily hear him.
And sure enough, the Emperor's eyes were first filled with surprise and then with a momentarily panic. Without thinking anything, Zhao Wang Lei looked at his shadow guard and said
"Leave."
The shadow guard was surprised by his master's order and said
"But Your Majesty."
However, before he could finish his words, Zhao Wang Lei ordered him coldly.
"Leave unless you wish to get beheaded by Zhen."
The shadow guard could only leave after hearing these words and Zhao Wang Lei immediately looked at General Li.
He was about to ask him 'what happened to Yi Jie' when his eyes suddenly fell on Xi Ying. No, he needed to talk calmly, If Xi Ying noticed his eagerness regarding Yi Jie then his secrets might be in danger.
So first, Zhao Wang Lei composed his expression and then looked at General Li calmly as he asked
"General Li, what is the matter?"
Xi Ying stood silently and let General Li talk to Zhao Wang Lei.
"Your Majesty, this General's wife has been poisoned during the banquet yesterday."
Zhao Wang Lei's eyes flickered with shock.
His Yi Jie…she had been poisoned in his own Imperial Palace. Who dared to do this! Zhao Wang Lei was so furious that he wished to destroy everything in the Imperial Palace.
But the little bit of rationality kept him reminded that right now there was a more important thing than this.
"How is she now, General Li?"
Now even if he wanted, Zhao Wang Lei couldn't hide the panic and fear in his voice but Xi Ying easily pretended not to notice it.
"Not well, Your Majesty. The poison she was fed is very rare and fatal. It has already started working inside her body. We have only a shichen left."
General Li eyes were red as he said all this. Only he knew how scared he was inside his heart. It took him all his strength to stand straight and say all this. Because at this moment, he wanted nothing but to stay by his wife's side.
"Then why did you come here alone? You should have brought her here to let the Imperial Physician Sun check her."
Zhao Wang Lei looked as if he was snarling like a beast at General Li.
Xi Ying was left surprised by his behavior but General Li didn't look surprised at all. It was as if he had already expected such a reaction from Zhao Wang Lei.
General Li looked at Zhao Wang Lei with a cold face and said
"I have my daughter to treat my wife, Your Majesty. The thing is that we need an herb to treat Yi Jie. A herb …that can only be found in the Imperial Palace."
Zhao Wang Lei looked a little calm when he heard General Li's first few words. He knew after the Mid Autumn Banquet festival that Li Rui was very capable of treating people's diseases and curing the poison.
Imperial Physician didn't have any cure for Zhao Bo Jin as well as Yi Huiqing's poison. Though Zhao Zhang Wei spread the news that it was Imperial Physician Sun who treated Yi Huiqing, he was not a fool to believe this news.
He had a doubt that it was Li Rui who treated Yi Huiqing. But since Yi Huiqing's matter was completely unrelated to him, he didn't care. The only thing that had bothered him was that Li Rui was still alive.
But at this moment, Zhao Zhang Wei couldn't help but think that it was good that Li Rui was alive. Because it was only she who could cure Yi Jie.
When Zhao Wang Lei heard General Li's last few words, he started to climb down from the bed as he asked General Li.
"What kind of herb do you need?"
Xi Ying searched his robe and took out a paper. He passed the paper to Zhao Wang Lei after a thought. There was no harm according to him.
Zhao Wang Lei also wanted to save Yi Jie.
"Wait here. Zhen will come with the herb soon."
Zhao Wang Lei said coldly and then without even wearing his Imperial robe, he left the Imperial chambers quickly.
