Chapter 676 General Li Is Disappointed In Xi Ying
The Imperial Assembly ended too soon that day.
The Emperor left after declaring that he was not feeling well. The ministers expressed their concerns and bowed their heads as Zhao Wang Lei left the Imperial Court.
Xi Ying smiled coldly as he looked at Zhao Wang Lei's leaving back.
It seemed that his plan had worked.
The ministers started to leave the Imperial Court one by one and Xi Ying also stood up from his seat. However, he had just stepped outside when he heard General Li calling him again. He closed his eyes with a heavy sigh knowing very well that the middle-aged General Li was not going to leave him alone until he would not find out everything.
However, he would also not tell him anything.
There was a different pleasure in knowing something about Li Rui that even her dear father who claimed to love her the most …even more than him (Xi Ying) didn't know.
"Prime Minister Xi, this General Li wishes to have a conversation with you."
Xi Ying nodded his head and both of them exited the Imperial Palace together.
Almost a quarter of shichen later, they were sitting inside a pavilion where An Si had immediately arranged a private room for them.
"Prime Minister Xi"
Xi Ying raised his eyebrows when he saw General Li speaking as soon as they sat on the chairs.
"Where did you go with my daughter and Xiao Ling? You didn't even inform me before leaving the Imperial City. Did you ever wonder how worried I must be when I didn't know where were you with Rui…whether both of you with Xiao Ling is safe or not…"
Xi Ying looked at General Li seriously in response to his panic and anxiousness-filled words.
"No one can harm Rui when she is with this Lord, General Li. They would have to cross this Lord and this Lord doesn't need to mention that crossing this Lord to get Rui would be having this Lord's life which this Lord would not let happen."
Because he wanted to spend a long and happy life with Rui. He wanted to have children with her…see them growing up and then die in her arms with peace and contentment.
However, contrary to Xi Ying's emotional thoughts at this moment, General Li was thinking more practically.
He just asked Xi Ying directly.
"Where did you go?"
Xi Ying looked calm as he lied
"Did this Lord not already answer this question in the Imperial Court?"
General Li frowned rather deeply on hearing Xi Ying's words.
"You took her to a temple?"
"Yes."
General Li's eyes were suddenly filled with rage but Xi Ying looked calm. However, his calmness only angered the middle-aged General more.
"Prime Minister Xi, did you take Li Rui out of Xi Manor just to take her to a temple…even after you know what kind of threat on her life she has been facing constantly?"
Xi Ying didn't have any choice but to nod his head. He could understand that General Li was also thinking on the right lines as a father.
"I can't believe you."
General Li said immediately and Xi Ying immediately said
"General Li, the temple is very popular. Rui wanted to pray for our child there. So this Lord decided to take her there."
Xi Ying's reason however was the most unreasonable thing that General Li has ever heard.
"She will ask for the stars tomorrow. Will you give that to her?"
Xi Ying nodded his head without any hesitation.
"Of Course."
Though he didn't know what he could do about that, but he would try his best to find some method and bring them to her.
General Li sighed in exasperation. He looked at the man who seemed to be in life with his daughter stupidly.
He didn't know if he should be happy or cry because he was suddenly scared of Xi Ying's unconditional love.
Taking a deep breath, General Li tried the softer way.
"Prime Minister Xi, you need to understand. Rui likes to go out. But you and I know that it can prove dangerous to her life. You should not have taken her out. What if someone had attacked…"
These fears of General Li had only increased when he had come to know that attacks happened on Xi Manor as well as those shadow guards were able to invade Xi Manor successfully.
General Li could feel his hands going cold. All his life he had protected Rui very well by keeping her inside the manor.
He even married her to Xi Ying just because he knew that he would keep her safe. But the shadow guards attacked Xi Manor also…
He didn't know what to think.
Could even Xi Ying not scare them any longer?
"Both of us know who wants to kill Rui, General Li."
Xi Ying said seriously. He was trying to calm down General Li because he could see how anxious the latter was. Regardless of how much he cared for Li Rui, he still cared for her as his father. Also, Xi Ying knew that Rui would never want her father to worry about her. In the end, he was just looking out for his wife.
"Zhao Wang Lei didn't know where this Lord and Rui were. I had made sure that he would not get to know."
Xi Ying's words indeed calmed General Li to a great extent.
Indeed, Zhao Wang Lei didn't know where Rui was. The thought also reminded him of something that he had been thinking of for the past few days.
"This General is not able to understand why he is behind this General's daughter."
That was something that even Xi Ying wanted to find out so he didn't know what he should say.
It was General Li who spoke again looking at him with narrowed eyes as he spoke
"You mentioned the attack in the Imperial court, any reason behind this?"
Xi Ying nodded his head as he picked up the cup of tea from the table. After taking a sip, he smiled and told General Li
"To confuse him. This Lord needs some time."
Xi Ying wanted to find out who poisoned Yi Jie and after that, he still needed to do a lot of planning so he diverted Zhao Wang Lei's attention to something else that was completely meaningless.
Now Zhao Wang Lei must be wondering inside his chambers whether he, Xi Ying, knew who sent Youxio to attack Li Rui or not.
He was now doubting his loyalty but it was also necessary.
Because he needed a lot of time. In the time, Zhao Wang Lei will try to figure out the things, he would be ready with his plan.
