His Rui

Chapter 800: The Scared Xi Ying



Chapter 800: The Scared Xi Ying

In the Imperial Palace, everything was good between Zhao Zhang Wei and Yi Huiqing.          

At least that was what Zhao Zhang had wanted to think.      

He had not talked about that evening again, though he would every day confess his feelings to his wife.     

It would be once before he would leave in the morning and then before sleeping at night.      

In the morning, he would kiss her forehead before leaving and she would not resist.      

Perhaps because servants were present there.      

However, he didn\'t try to find out.      

And at night, he would tell her that he loved her …when she was asleep.      

There was no doubt that Zhao Zhang Wei was scared that he would irritate Yi Huiqing if he confessed his feelings again and again.      

She had confessed to him that she still loves him.      

Since then, he had been trying to make sure that it stays that way. He would not want Yi Huiqing to despise him for forcing himself on her.      

One such evening, he was seated inside his wife\'s chambers when his Eunuch came running and told him that his presence was needed somewhere urgently.      

Zhao Zhang Wei frowned but nonetheless left hurriedly not before assuring Yi Huiqing that he would be back soon.      

With an expression on her face that said \'I don\'t care\', Yi Huiqing continued to read the book she was reading. However, Zhao Zhang Wei knew that she had heard him.      

So he left. It was on his way that Eunuch Zhang told him that Princess Wenling had stopped eating food as she was protesting against the way she had been locked inside her chambers.      

Currently, the princess was unconscious and the physician had declared that if she didn\'t eat anything then soon she would be dead.      

Zhao Zhang Wei\'s steps faltered for a moment.      

In front of his eyes flashed the moments when Zhao Wenling had saved him from Zhao Zhuang Chen.      

It was perhaps once or twice she did that.      

But he remembered it clearly.      

When he reached her chambers, he saw that her face was indeed very pale and she looked very thin.      

Zhao Zhang Wei didn\'t have brotherly feelings for Zhao Wenling.      

However, as he thought about the two times when she had saved him, he couldn\'t help but think that he should repay.      

So he ordered that when she would up she should be informed that she could wander around the Imperial Palace.      

However, she was not allowed to go outside the palace.      

The maidservant did as she had been ordered to do.          

When Zhao Wenling woke up, she was informed of the same. Happy, she had her food and then got ready to go outside and meet her mother and brother.      

It had been many days since she saw them.      

In the beginning, she had thought that slowly her father\'s heart would melt and she would be freed.      

However, so many days passed, and nothing, as she had thought, happened. In the end, she could only think of it this way.      

Fortunately, she was freed from this detention.      

In the end, her father still cared for her.      

With these thoughts, Zhao Wenling got readied and then told her maid that she wanted to go and see her mother.      

However, the maid\'s face went awkward when she heard this.      

It took the maid a few moments to tell Zhao Wenling everything.      

After hearing everything, Zhao Wenling\'s face was paler than what it had been like a few shichens ago.      

And then the next moment, she collapsed.      

.     

.     

.     

The princess was freed.      

The news soon reached Xi Ying\'s ears.      

Obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Zhang Wei\'s decision, Xi Ying went to the Imperial Palace to talk to him.      

"Your Majesty, this Lord\'s wife is with child. Who will take the responsibility if Princess decided to do something crazy and harmed this Lord\'s wife!"     

Zhao Zhang Wei sighed and assured Xi Ying that nothing like this will happen.      

He had already put two shadow guards around Zhao Wenling.      

And Zhao Wenling no longer had anyone to help her.      

Xi Ying was still frowning but he also thought that perhaps Zhao Wenling was not as dangerous as before.      

An San was already locked by him so there was no one to help her.      

Thinking this, he left the Imperial Palace.      

However, even after dinner, his face didn\'t look good.          

L Rui knew what he was upset about. She couldn\'t help but sigh helplessly and told him that he need not think much.      

Zhao Wenling might be a princess and she might have done many things in the past. But it was only because she had people backing her up.      

Now there was no longer anyone to back her up and she was not brave enough to do anything crazy again.      

Xi Ying realized that Li Rui was right.      

Because the next day, the princess requested to the Emperor to send her to some village where she could spend her life peacefully.      

Zhao Zhang Wei didn\'t refuse this request.      

He arranged a very far village for her and sent two maids who were to assure that Zhao Wenling would never linger around Imperial City again.      

That was how Zhao Wenling left the Imperial City.      

The days were peaceful in Xin now.     

The newly won region was slowly starting to transform under Xi Ying\'s development plans.      

In almost three months, Xi Ying had made sure that more than half of the people had an assured source of living.      

There was just one problem that Xi Ying couldn\'t solve.      

The region had many prevalent diseases because of this he had to ban ordinary people from other regions to step inside the new regions.      

Many physicians were sent there to cure people. With this, Xi Ying also sent many servants from Xi Manor to go there and clean the new region thoroughly.      

That was something that Li Rui suggested him.      

Xi Ying could only wait for the results of his input.      

Exactly three months later, Li Rui felt pain in her belly.      

It was the night time and she was sleeping when she suddenly felt the pain. She had birthed Xi Ling before she understood that it was the time.      

Immediately, Li Rui held Xi Ying\'s sleeve and woke him up.      

Xi Ying woke up instantly. He lightened the lamp hurriedly and seeing his wife\'s face full of sweat, he knew that it was time.      

His body went stiff as he saw the painful expression on her face.      

"Rui, it will be alright."     

After saying these few words of comfort, Xi Ying shouted for Li Hua. When Li Hua came and saw her mistress she immediately went to call the midwife.      

The whole Xi Manor was awake in a few moments.      

With the midwife, the old physician also came running.          

Xi Ying was pushed out of the room while the midwife tended to Li Rui.      

"Father, why is Mother screaming?"     

Xi Ying tore away his gaze from the door of the room and looked down at his son.      

His heart was beating fast inside his chest and he was feeling very afraid but when he saw his face full of panic, he had to calm himself down and comfort him.      

"Your Mother is going to give birth soon, Xi Ling."     

Xi Ling frowned more deeply when she heard this. He had never heard his mother screaming before.      

His eyes were full of worry as he asked again     

"Is she in pain?"     

"Yes."     

Both Father and son looked at the door with the same expression.      

"Your Mother has gone through the same pain when she birthed you, Xi Ling. You are ought to respect and protect your mother throughout your whole life."     

Xi Ying told his son firmly while the latter nodded his head vigorously.      

Xi Ying was trying his best to keep himself calm as he stood outside the door. He tried to keep talking to his son but his eyes went blank when the screams inside the room stopped suddenly.      

Slowly, he looked at the door and frowned deeply.      

He remembered when she was pregnant with Xi Ling, the scream had stopped only when she had given birth.      

But this time, he didn\'t even hear the scream of the child.      

The next moment, Xi Ying dashed towards the door.      

He could hear the old physician\'s shout from behind but he didn\'t care.      

With one push, she threw open the door and looked towards the bed.      

Xi Ying suddenly realized how it felt to have your whole world going still when he looked at his unconscious wife on the bed.      

Her face was pale and she was not moving at all.      

The midwife had a deep frown on her face and she was trying to wake up Li Rui.      

However, Li Rui was not responding at all.
