His Rui

Chapter 587 Making A Request To Zhao Wang Lei

A shichen later, Zhao Wang Lei was taking the letter from the head of the Imperial Guard that was sent to him with a confused face.

However, when he opened the letter and read it, his face turned black and blue.

"Requesting Your Majesty to help this Lord find out who poisoned Second Madam Li during the banquet. This Lord wishes Your Majesty to just help this Lord in this matter because this Lord wishes to deal with that person on his own …unless he runs away again from His Majesty\'s clutches."

It was the last few words written in the letter that made Zhao Wang Lei very furious.

Indirectly Xi Ying taunted him for having such an incapable and lazy Imperial Guards who couldn\'t stop a criminal from running away. Though they sealed the Imperial City gates immediately, but even after that, they couldn\'t find Li Caihong in the whole Imperial City.

Zhao Wang Lei also understood that Li Caihong must be in Xi Ying\'s hands now otherwise he would not have sat silently. It could be seen from the way the young prime minister was taunting him.

Zhao Wang Lei\'s face was very cold as he dismissed the head of the Imperial Guards.

After that, he said to Eunuch Wang.

"Find out who poisoned Yi Jie!"

Eunuch Wang knew the importance of this person to his master so he immediately bowed his head and said that he would find out everything soon.

Zhao Wang Lei tore the letter into his hands. Xi Ying\'s threats or taunts didn\'t matter to him at all. It only made him realize that his thought of getting rid of the young prime minister after achieving everything he wanted to achieve was very right.

As for finding out the daring person who was courageous enough to poison Yi Jie in his own Imperial Palace, he was obviously going to find it out whether Xi Ying had asked him or not.

And how he would deal with this person, only he knew!

At the same time, Xi Ying stepped out of his study room.

All of his shadow guards who saw him stepping out kneeled down on the ground. It was obvious that they were already done with all the jobs they had been assigned to do.

Xi Ying was satisfied.

"Rest for tonight. From tomorrow, we shall start the real work."

"Yes, Master."

The shadow guards said in chorus and Xi Ying again assigned a few shadow guards the job of guarding Xi Manor and asked An Shing to rest for tonight.

After all, this was done, he finally went to Plum Courtyard.

"Where is Madam?"

Xi Ying asked the maid who answered him.

"Madam is with Young Master inside his room."

Xi Ying nodded his head and started to walk toward his son\'s room. However, when he was on his way, he was blocked by General Li.

"Where are you going, Prime Minister Xi?"

An irritated expression could be seen on Xi Ying\'s face but General Li just smiled.

"Seeing Prime Minister Xi\'s expression, this General feels that Prime Minister Xi must be missing this General. Let\'s have some talk."

Hearing this, Xi Ying\'s eyes were filled with disgust.

It was impossible that General Li didn\'t know that he was going to see his wife. However, he was intentionally trying to take him away and waste his time.

He couldn\'t help but ask the middle-aged General.

"When are you leaving for Li Manor, General Li? Second Madam Li is doing well, right? And if she is not, then she can stay here but this Lord thinks that General Li should not stay away from Li Manor for so many days."

General Li\'s lips twitched when he sensed how eagerly Xi Ying wanted to send him away. However, a moment later, his eyes brightened and he said with a smirk on his lips.

"Prime Minister Xi, did you not say this Manor belongs to my daughter as well? Then how can you ask me to leave?"

Xi Ying rolled his eyes coldly and was about to say something when he saw his wife entering the living room with his son so he just closed his mouth.

However, General Li who was waiting for his reply felt suspicious and turned around. When he saw his daughter, his eyes flashed with an understanding and he looked at Xi Ying with mockery.

Without any hesitation, he walked toward his daughter and said with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Rui, your husband is asking me to leave Xi Manor."

Xi Ying\'s eyes were filled with shock. He had never expected that General Li would tell this thing to his wife. He looked at his wife who was now looking at him calmly and breathed deeply.

"Rui…General Li misunderstood. I was just asking him whether it will be good to leave Li Manor just like that. Your third uncle also left for the borders a few days back and your elder uncle is not in the state of managing everything. General Li is also here…so I was just telling you that if he wished he could leave Second Madam Li here in our care and leave for Li Manor."

Xi Ying finished with gritted teeth as he looked at General Li.

The only reason he was controlling his anger was that General Li was Li Rui\'s father.

General Li also looked a little bored after Xi Ying explained his words so nicely. However, Li Rui\'s face was very serious now and she said to her Father

"Father, Ying is right."

General Li looked a little startled while Xi Ying sighed in relief.

"Father should indeed go to Xi Manor."

General Li also looked serious now as he knew that his daughter would not say it without any reason.

"What happened, Rui?"

Li Rui looked at her father for a few moments. She was sure that he didn\'t know anything. She looked down at her son who had been standing silently and asked him to go back to his room.

Xi Ling was very obedient to his mother and immediately left from there though he didn\'t wish to leave his mother.

Li Rui looked back at her father and told him.

"Father, Li Caihong ran away from Li Manor this morning."

And General Li\'s eyes went blank hearing this.
