Chapter 696 Zhao Wang Lei Wants To Destroy Qin Wenya

　　Xi Ying had somehow imagined that Zhao Wang Lei woud not be in a great situation. However, sitting in front of the so-called might Emperor, he couldn\'t help but feel surprsied to see Zhao Wang Lei\'s state. 

　　It brought an immense satisfaction to Xi Ying\'s heart to see Zhao Wang Lei like this. 

　　However, Xi Ying maitained a calm and composed expression on his face. 

　　"Is everything alright Your Majesty?"

　　He asked calmly. 

　　However, Zhao Wang Lei didn\'t mind the lack of concern in the young prime minister\'s voice because he had always known that Xi Ying was like this to everyone. 

　　"Prime Minister Xi…"

　　Zhao Wang Lei pressed his temple as he spoke to Xi Ying. He looked completely worn out and exhausted. 

　　"You were right, Prime Minister Xi. It was Empress who tried to kill Sceond Madam Li."

　　Xi Ying didn\'t say anything in response. After all, he was alreday sure of this. Zhao Wang Lei continued

　　"The Empress….in the past few days, Zhen has realized that the Empress is no longer capable to hold her responsibilities, Prime Minister Xi."

　　Xi Ying raised his eyebrows. Somehow he understood where this was going. 

　　And sure enough, Zhao Wang Lei said

　　"Zhen wants to remove her from the seat of Empress."

　　From these words, Xi Ying also came to know that Zhao Wang Lei already knew about Qin Wenya knowing his secret. Otherwise, why would he think in this direction suddenly?

　　Though Xi Ying had already guessed this, he still behaved as if he was shocked and said 

　　"But Your Majesty, what about the Qin Empire?"

　　Zhao Wang Lei nodded his head and looked at Xi Ying calmly as he said

　　"That\'s what is troubling Zhen and that\'s why Zhen has called Prime Minister Xi. Zhen wants Prime Minister Xi to think of some solution for this problem." 

　　There was silence inside the Imperial study room for a few moments before Xi Ying nodded his head calmly and said 

　　"This minister wants a few days to think over this matter, Your Majesty."

　　Zhao Wang Lei immediately said 

　　"Prime Minister Xi has a whole week. However, after this week, Prime Minister Xi must come up with some solution. Zhen can\'t let an Empress who is attacking and trying to poison people in the Empire for her selfish interests. "

　　Xi Ying mocked Zhao Wang Lei inside his heart who was trying to remove the obstacle for himself in the disguise of the Empire\'s welfare. 

　　He also felt disgusted by him. 

　　So he stood up and said politely.

　　"This Lord will not disturb Your Majesty any longer as Your Majesty must be left with only a little time to get ready for the Imperial Court Assembly."   

　　Zhao Wang Lei was feeling a little relieved after Xi Ying had the hold on the matter. He waved his hand to dismiss Xi Ying and afterward, he asked Eunuch Wang to tighten the security around Qin Wenya\'s chambers. As long as Xi Ying does not find any way to remove Qiin Wenya from the way, he needed to make sure that no one meets Qin Wenya so that she would not tell anything to anyone. 

　　At the same time, Zhao Wang Lei remembered that Zhao Zhuang Chen had met Qin Wenya yesterday. Did he also know about all this? 

　　Zhao Wang Lei frowned as he thought that if Zhao Zhuang Chen knew that he would not have sat silent until now. That stupid prince couldn\'t hide anything and it has been proved from the previous times whenever he had planned something against Zhao Zhang Wei or Li Clan.

　　So Zhao Wang Lei dismissed his thought and finally went to his chambers to have a bath and got ready for the Imperial Court. 

　　.

　　Xi Ying didn\'t go to the Xinhe Palace after leaving Imperial Study room. He was thinking something as he sat inside the Imperial Court on his seat. 

　　A very good plan was forming inside his mind to destroy Qin Wenya. A plan better than the plan he had before and a plan that would help him in diverting Zhao Wang Lei\'s attention. 

　　The whole time during the Imperial Assembly he didn\'t pay much attention to what was being discussed. Even after the assembly ended, he didn\'t go to Xinhe Palace and went to Xi Manor instead. 

　　When he reached the Xi Manor and saw Li Rui, he had a wide smile on his lips seeing her something that Li Rui had been seeing less in the past two days after he had asked her if they could leave the Imperial City and go somewhere else. 

　　She smiled and said 

　　"Ying, did you go to Xinhe Palace? How is Jiejie?"

　　Xi Ying stiffened amidst his movement of embracing Li Rui in his arms and told Li Rui a moment later.

　　"Rui, actually I didn\'t go to Xinhe Palace."

　　Li Rui was surprised. She had thought that he would go to the Xinhe Palace today because he wanted to discuss the plan with Zhao Zhang Wei. 

　　But he didn\'t. 

　　"Is everything alright?"

　　She asked him and Xi Ying nodded his head immediately. 

　　"I want to discuss something with you…but after lunch."

　　Xi Ying said and Li Rui nodded her head. 

　　She was somewhat curious to know what Xi Ying wanted to discuss so she immediately asked Li Hua and Liu Lan to serve the lunch and then asked a maid to go and call Xi Ling. 

　　Xi Ying who sensed his wife\'s eagerness chuckled and asked her

　　"Where is Xi Ling?"

　　Li Rui sighed as she walked to the dining room with her husband.

　　"He is practicing."

　　Xi Ying was surprised and said 

　　"Until now?"

　　Li Rui sighed again and said 

　　"I had gone to call him but he said he wanted to practice swordsmanship. I could only let him do it."

　　Xi Ying kissed his wife\'s hand and said 

　　"I will talk to him."

　　He knew that Li Rui has a soft heart for their son…perhaps because she didn\'t see him for whole four years. That\'s why out of them he had to be the cruel parent sometimes. 

　　However, he could do that for her…happily.
