His Rui

After Xi Ying and Li Rui left the banquet hall, some people even came to General Li and asked him indirectly about Li Rui\'s sudden show of skills but General Li avoided talking about this matter very wisely.

In the end, they could only leave with a smile but disappointment in their heart for not getting to know about something they were very curious about.

Sitting on the front, First Madam Li suddenly turned her head to look at her daughters who were sitting in the back seats.

But she frowned when she only saw her younger daughter Li Caihong and not her elder daughter, Li Na.

She looked around once more at everyone in her family but didn\'t find her daughter and hence she stood up from her seat.

Walking towards the back seat she shook her younger daughter\'s arm who was busy watching the performances on the stage.

"Caihong, where is Li Na?"

Li Caihong was confused for a moment she looked at her side and then at her mother…and then she suddenly remembered something.

"That…mother...Elder sister…she went outside to breathe in some fresh air."

Li Rong\'s face relaxed a little but she still had a frown on her forehead.

"Then, why did you let her go alone? You should have told me and I could have arranged for someone from family to go with her. How long has it been since she has left?"

Li Caihong tried to remember and thought suddenly that many performances have passed since her sister had left the banquet hall.

At this thought, she also started to worry about her elder sister.

At this moment, she saw Xi Ying entering the banquet hall alone.

\'Perhaps Elder sister is still working on our plan.\' thought Li Caihong.

So she looked at her mother and said

"Mother doesn\'t need to worry. Elder Sister has gone outside just a few moments ago. If she doesn\'t come back in some time then I will go outside and look for her."

However, as soon as Li Caihong completed her words, a Eunuch came running inside the banquet hall. Looking around the front seats, he ran towards the Li family.

He bowed his head in front of General Li and said with a face full of panic

"General Li, Your family\'s daughter, Miss Li… "

The young Eunuch hesitated for a few moments and only said in the end.

"General Li needs to come and see with his own eyes."

Although Li Caihong and Li Rong were standing away, they heard the Eunuch\'s words very clearly and Li Caihong\'s eyes brightened suddenly.

\'It seems that Elder sister has done her work…now it was her turn.\'

Li Caihong hurriedly stood up from her seat and with a face full of worry.

"Elder Sister, what happened to Elder sister Li Rui?"

She asked hurriedly.

Xi Ying who was sitting just a few steps away from the Li family heard the commotion and then Li Caihong\'s words.

He sneered coldly inside his heart.

The Eunuch just said \'Miss Li\' and she took Rui\'s name by herself. However, he pretended as if he did not anything.

An Su had caught the Imperial Palace\'s maids who were bribed by the daughter of Li family, Li Na and the Princess.

One of them was arrogant thinking that since she worked for an Imperial princess; he won\'t be able to do anything with her and hence was not ready to say anything at all.

In the end, she had to tell him everything under the torture of his shadow guards and it was the same trick that Princess Wenling had used four years ago.

Xi Ying couldn\'t help but think that the princess was too stupid to think that he would let her drug again.

However, the other maid was too desperate to save her life and hence told him everything.

She confessed how Li Na and Li Caihong had planned to drug Li Rui since the start with aphrodisiacs.

The aphrodisiacs, what kind of drug it was …Xi Ying knew very clearly.

If any normal person takes it then he or she would lose their mind and would start to wish for body contact without caring for anything else.

He could guess very clearly what kind of intentions they had.

However, Li Na found the maid this morning and suddenly asked her to drug his food, not Li Rui\'s.

Although he doesn\'t know the reason behind this sudden change of plans, Xi Ying had enough reason to do what he was doing right now after knowing that Li Na and Li Caihong even thought of harming Li Rui again.

Before he had been silent because he thought that Li Rui must have some reason for not revealing the truth of her sisters in front of her family regarding the incident of four years ago but this time, he couldn\'t.

According to him, if they were given leverage like this then they would gain enough courage and try to harm Li Rui again and again.

Hence Xi Ying wanted to put an end to this pair of sisters\' vicious thoughts in one go.

Now seeing Li Caihong pretending even after she had seen him entering the banquet hall…it seems that she never knew about her sister\'s sudden change of plans.

Well, that was good in a certain way.

The more drama Li Caihong will create, the more both the sisters will feel pain when they will fall on their faces.

Everyone in the Li family had not thought that it was Li Rui who the Eunuch was talking about. They had thought that it was anyone amongst Li Caihong and Li Na. However, when Li Caihong took Li Rui\'s name then all of them thought that it was really Li Rui whom the Eunuch was talking about as the Eunuch didn\'t deny it.

But no one knew that the young Eunuch who had brought the news to them was new in the Imperial Palace. Before entering the Imperial Palace, he had never stayed in the Imperial City. So how could he know who was Li Rui or who was Li Na.

He was just sent by someone else who asked him to inform the Li family about this immediately and that\'s what he did.

Yi Jie stood up from her seat when she heard that something happened to Li Rui.

Her hands went cold as she remembered what had happened four years ago and her sight unconsciously went to her right side where she saw Lord Xi sitting alone.

General Li\'s face was not much better.

He also looked sideways and saw Xi Ying sitting comfortably. His eyes narrowed and he hurriedly said to the Eunuch

"Lead the way."
