Chapter 644 Leaving Xi Manor
It was early morning.
Xi Ying sighed as he looked at the servants carrying the things and putting them inside the carriage.
"Yay…yay…"
He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound only to find his son jumping around in the outer hall of Plum Courtyard.
He sighed again.
The brat had woken up early morning and got ready as if he was afraid that if he woke up late then he and Rui would leave him here despite his mother having already promised him that she would take him with her.
However, the young prime minister didn't know that his son trusted his mother but the person he didn't trust was his father which meant him actually.
Though Xi Ying looked a little upset with whatever was happening as he was still not so sure about everything, a small smile still graced his lips when he saw his son jumping around in excitement.
It had been days since he had seen him like this last.
He wondered if he would have seen him like this if he had not been reborn.
He was not so in favor of taking Xi Ling with them but he couldn't refuse after hearing his words yesterday.
He felt lonely in this huge Manor. Xi Ying remembered that his son had said these same words to him once when he had to leave for the border once for a few days.
At that time, he had been stubborn and insisted that he should take him as well there. However, he had scolded him and then left the next day even before he woke up.
That was the only way he had at that time.
He couldn't really take Xi Ling with him and he didn't have the courage to face his crying son in the morning when he had to leave so he left when he was sleeping.
However, when he heard him saying those same words yesterday, he didn't want to behave the same way again this time.
Or perhaps it was because after whatever Li Rui shared with him about how she used to feel so suffocated in her huge Li Manor, he didn't have any courage to refuse his son's demand.
Had he not been doing the same?
Xi Ying had wondered suddenly.
He could count on his fingers of one hand, the time Xi Ling had gone out of Xi Manor since he had been born. He never took him out of Xi Manor.
His son must be feeling the same way.
Perhaps that's why Li Rui accepted his wish so easily. She could easily understand him so he as a father should also understand his son's wishes.
He would never want his son to feel the same way Rui had felt in her childhood. He had called General Li a bad father for not looking out for Li Rui's wishes so would he not be a hypocrite if he did the same today?
"My Lord, everything is ready."
Xi Ying came out of his trance on hearing the voice of the butler.
He nodded his head acknowledging the butler's words and said coldly
"Inform Madam as well."
"Yes, My Lord."
The butler couldn't enter the courtyard so he sent a maid inside to inform Li Rui while Xi Ying went to his study room.
He also needed to take at least twenty or more shadow guards with him to protect his wife and son just in case they got attacked on the way.
.
.
.
A Chichen later, they were finally ready to leave.
Outside the courtyard, Li Rui was standing with her son and her husband as she spoke to Li Lan who had red eyes.
The girl had become closer to her in the past few months.
"My Lady, why don't I also go with you?"
Li Rui smiled softly and Li Hua who was standing beside her said instantly
"You don't worry. I will be there to serve My Lady. Someone needs to be here to take care of the courtyard as well."
"Then why don't you stay here?"
Liu Lan whined and glared at Li Hua.
Li Hua rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
Liu Lan also stepped back knowing very well that she couldn't take much time.
The sun had not risen yet but they wanted to leave the Imperial City before it would rise so they didn't waste much time.
So they started their journey.
Xi Ying with his wife and son sat inside one carriage.
There was one more carriage that had all the herbs and medicinal plants that Li Rui thought could be needed to treat the old master. Li Hua sat inside that carriage.
It was going to take them almost two days to reach where the other shadow guards were taking care of the old master.
Gu Li and his shadow guards stayed around with Xi Ying's shadow guards who were guarding the carriages hiding in the shadows on their way.
Though he could leave first with his shadow guards as he had already given a rough map to Xi Ying about where they needed to go, Gu Li didn't want to leave.
After knowing that Li Rui's life was in danger, he couldn't bear to leave her alone on such a long journey though she had so many shadow guards and as well as her husband who was said to be the most capable martial artist in the four empires.
Gu Li would have preferred if they had used Qingqong. Because that way, they would have reached early but he was well aware that it would not be good as Li Rui was pregnant.
So he adjusted to this mode of traveling though he had never taken so many days in one journey except the one to Yantun valley.
At night, when they stopped inside an inn to have dinner, Gu Li smiled as he looked at Li Rui eating the wontons with relish.
She had specifically asked for them as she was craving to eat them. The restaurant beside the inn didn't have them so Gu Li had to wander around the whole village to get a bowl of wontons.
He chuckled when he remembered how bright her eyes had been when she had looked at the bowl of wontons.
Pregnant women are like that only.
The lady of the inn owner had said and he smiled more.
He was realizing that his protectiveness and brotherly affection for Li Rui had only increased after he had come to know that she was a girl.
