Chapter 534 What Will Zhao Wang Lei Do?

"Your Majesty"

Minister Xin glanced at Xi Ying and then at the Emperor before he said

"Your Majesty, this minister completely agrees with Prime Minister Xi. All of us are loyal to the Empire, towards Your Majesty, and towards the Imperial Clan. However, we do love our families also."

The ministers nodded their heads at Minister Xin\'s words.

"Your Majesty, if only one is ensured that his family is safe and secure in the Imperial City while he is away to complete his duty for the Empire, he can completely dedicate himself to his job."

The sounds of agreements echoed just after Minister Xin finished his words.

Zhao Wang Lei\'s fists were again clenched inside his sleeves.

His face was still emotionless and when the Imperial banquet hall gained its silence again, he finally said.

"Zhen can understand what Minister Xin is trying to say, however, Zhen doesn\'t think that this day is appropriate to discuss such matters."

Zhao Wang Lei just wanted to stop Xi Ying from doing something. He thought that once the banquet would finish, he wo7uld again discuss this matter with Xi Ying, and then by making some kind of deal, he would be able to stop Xi Ying from revealing the stupid princess\' deeds in front of everyone.

However, Minister Xin was making it difficult for him.

How could Xi Ying not see what the Emperor was trying to do!

He smiled coldly and suddenly looked towards the ministers of the convoy. With the same kind of smile lingering on his lips, he asked them coldly whether they had any problem if he wanted to get justice for his wife today only.

The strange smile on Xi Ying\'s lips combined with the cold voice in which he asked the convoy\'s ministers this question, it almost seemed as if he was threatening them.

The convoy\'s ministers were left angry by his arrogance, however, they also knew that at this moment, agreeing with Xi Ying was in their favor also.

So they shook their heads and one of the ministers even stood up and told Zhao Wang Lei that there was no need to feel embarrassed.

Such matters were common in every Empire but it was very important to sort them out so that no one would ever dare to commit such mistakes again.

The ministers of the Imperial Court applauded the convoy\'s minister for his wise words and then everyone finally concentrated on the Emperor.

Zhao Wang Lei was stuck now. He was feeling very angry inside his heart but he didn\'t have any way to vent.

Helpless, he could only nod his head while Eunuch Wang announced that Xi Ying could proceed with whatever he had wanted to say.

Xi Ying nodded his head. With the cold smile still lingering on his lips, he revealed what Zhao Wang Lei was trying to hide.

Sitting beside Zhao Wang Lei, Qin Wenya was watching everything silently.

She wondered who this other person was because, in her eyes, Xi Ying would never reveal her daughter\'s deeds in front of so many people. Zhao Zhuang Chen and Qin Wenya had unconsciously started to believe that Xi Ying was on their side from the day Xi Ying had revealed Zhao Wang Lei\'s true intentions to them.

So she thought that Xi Ying would not do this to her daughter.

And hence she couldn\'t understand anything.

It was only when Xi Ying opened his mouth and said

"Your Majesty, this man here as I said, was hired by someone to kill my wife, Li Rui. The person who had hired him to do this was none other than…"

The small pause seemed to be very long to a few people and this included Yi Jie whose heart was restless to know who this other person was.

At the same time, General Li also looked forward to the answer. He knew that the person must not be the Emperor as Xi Ying would not reveal Zhao Wang Lei\'s name just like that.

"Princess Wenling."

Gaps echoed in the Imperial Banquet hall as soon as Xi Ying revealed that person\'s name.

At least hundreds of pairs of eyes suddenly turned in Princess Wenling\'s direction, who already had a pale face under Xi Ying\'s cold and sharp pair of eyes.

He knew …he knew everything!

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Xi Ying already knew everything including how she planted her people in Xi Manor.

Her whole body went cold as she opened and closed her mouth in order to say something but couldn\'t let out a single word.

"Prime Minister Xi"

It was Qin Wenya who tried to say something to save her daughter. Princess Wenling also turned to look at her mother.

She would have appreciated her mother for speaking in her favor at such a moment if the circumstances would have been different …if only she didn\'t know that she was in her current circumstances because of the same mother.

So she found Qin Wenya\'s voice only annoying at this moment.

She saw how her mother looked toward her father hoping for any kind of help from him but her father also had a cold and indifferent face just like Xi Ying.

Princess Wenling\'s heart sank inside her chest suddenly.

With the same emotionless face, she heard his father asking Xi Ying

"Prime Minister Xi, do you have any evidence for what you speak of ?"

The whispers inside the banquet hall continued while everyone again waited for Xi Ying\'s answer.

Xi Ying smiled coldly in response and said

"Your Majesty, this man here claims that he was hired by Princess Wenling. What more evidence do you need?"

Seeing that the Emperor was looking at the man, the guards raised the head of the man who was about to collapse on the floor if not held by them.

Another guard suddenly poured water on the man\'s face, making him open his eyes abruptly and then try to gulp the air in a huge amount suddenly.

He looked confused for a moment when he looked at his surroundings but when his eyes fell on Xi Ying, they were filled with horror.

He was afraid or more precisely terrified.

As if facing death would be better than facing Xi Ying.

Xi Ying ignored his fear and stepped forward in his direction making the man want to crawl away from him.

But neither did his body have that power nor did the Imperial guards loosen their hold on him.

His whole body was shivering when Xi Ying stopped in front of him and smiled coldly.

"Tell them everything."

And he swallowed that did nothing to comfort his already dry throat.
