His Rui

Chapter 739: Making A New Plan

Yun Weilan whispered and swallowed through her dry throat.      

Unconsciously, she relaxed when she saw Li Rui.      

Li Rui smiled softly and nodded her head. Then she bowed slightly, however, seeing her move, Yun Weilan immediately held her hands and said      

"No need!"     

When Li Rui stopped, Yun Weilan sighed in relief.      

"Lady Li is with child. Don't do this."     

Yun Weilan's voice was filled with concern when she said this. Li Rui's smile was still there and she said politely     

"Then Princess Consort must accept this one's greetings like this."     

Yun Weilan nodded her head and looked at Li Rui's baby bump. She had not known that Li Rui was pregnant. When Xi Ying saw her gaze, he frowned and said coldly.     

"Not many people know about this Lord's wife being pregnant, Princess Consort. This Lord hopes that it stays this way."     

Yun Weilan immediately understood what Xi Ying wanted to say and assured him that not a single soul would come to know of this matter from her.     

After that, she looked at Li Rui again. Her hands were still holding Li Rui's hand.      

Yun Weilan's eyes were very soft when she looked at Li Rui. She blinked the tears that had formed in her eyes and said with a soft smile on her lips      

"You are as beautiful as they say. I hope that talking informally doesn't bother you. "     

Li Rui was surely surprised when she saw that Yun Weilan didn't even use the honorary with her names as well, but soon she shook her head indicating that she didn't mind.      

Yun Weilan was joyous when she heard this.     

"I couldn't even thank you that day for saving Bo Jin's life."      

Li Rui again shook her head and said calmly     

"As a physician, it is this one's duty to save anyone in danger."     

Yun Weilan merely smiled not saying anything else. She was indeed grateful. She had seen that day during the banquet, how Li Rui was even ready to face the unreasonable punishment for saving her son.      

A moment later, she even said      

"In fact, I felt confident in revealing the plan to Prime Minister Xi only because of you."     

Yun Weilan didn't know where the courage had come from. She could only remember that she had thought about Li Rui, the woman who had selflessly saved her son's life, and hence she decided to inform Xi Ying of this plan.      

She felt as if Li Rui would again not let anything to her son.      

And here she was again!         

In her eyes. Li Rui was her son's lifetime savior.      

Perhaps Li Rui felt how emotional Yun Weilan was feeling, she held Yun Weilan's hands and tried to assure her     

"Hiss…"     

However, while doing so, she accidentally touched Yun Weilan's wrist and Yun Weilan hissed sharply.      

Li Rui frowned and without thinking anything, she rolled Yun Weilan's sleeve slightly. Her eyes went cold when she saw the dark red blue bruise on her skin.     

Xi Ying also noticed it. He seemed to remember something and suddenly his eyes flashed with realization.      

Why did Yun Weilan choose to come to him? It was because Zhao Zhuang Chen treated her worse than animals.     

Yun Weilan hurriedly cover her arm and no longer met eyes with Xi Ying or Li Rui.      

The bruise was four days old when Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't treat her nicely because he didn't have any reason to do so.      

She felt very awkward staying after this small incident.      

Yun Weilan hurriedly took out the paper from her sleeve and passed it to Li Rui.     

"Lady Li, this is the plan made by him."     

Yun Weilan said calmly and Li Rui took the paper.      

"Rest of the details, I will try to share as soon as I get to know."      

Li Rui nodded her head. Seeing that she was leaving, Li Rui suddenly held Yun Weilan's arm lightly and said in a firm voice     

"Princess Consort, Rui promises you that nothing shall happen to you as well as the young prince."     

Yun Weilan's heart which had been hanging on the thread for the past few days finally fell in right place.      

A tear unconsciously slid down her eyes and she nodded her head as she squeezed Li Rui's finers gently indicating how grateful she was for the mere promise.      

And after that, she finally left from there.      

.

After reaching Li Manor again, Xi Ying was looking at the detailed plan that Yun Weilan had given to him the whole time inside the room.      

When Li Rui had removed all the accessories she walked to the bed to Xi Ying's side and whispered     

"What are you thinking?"         

In the middle of the bed, Xi Ling was deeply asleep.      

Xi Ying sighed as he put away the plan and then looked at his wife.      

"Zhao Zhuang Chen just needs more people to get success in his plan. He wishes to kill Zhao Wang Lei by using the secret passages of the Imperial Palace to enter Zhao Wang Lei's chamber. The passages…I think that he came to know about that from Qin Wenya, however, how did Qin Wenya came to know about them is another matter completely."     

Li Rui frowned as she sat on the bed beside Xi Ying.      

"I don't understand one thing."     

She whispered in a low voice and Xi Ying paid her his whole attention as she spoke next.      

"If he wants to kill Zhao Wang Lei then we can just let him do it. Would it not be good? We would not have to dirty our hands."     

Li Rui looked at Xi Ying curiously after finishing her words.      

Xi Ying smiled suddenly however, his smile didn't have any humor.      

"Let someone else kill him? That is out of the question. Rui. It would be me who will kill Zhao Wang Lei with my own hands."     

A fire burned in Xi Ying's heart and the fire of revenge in his eyes as he remembered his past life.      

Everything he, his Rui, and his son had faced in their past life was graver than what he was giving to Zhao Wang Lei.      

He was giving him a simple death.      

The man should be grateful for that.      

When Xi Ying noticed Li Rui looking at him with a blank face, he composed himself. However, he told her the truth in simple but not scary words.      

"He had attempted to kill you so many times. He would have been doing this still if I had not made him feel stuck. Now he is afraid that if he attacked again then he would be found out as he didn't have the princess to shield himself. Qin Wenya whom he used as a shield to protect himself from the last attack or rather I should say I let him use Qin Wenya, was also gone. However, not any longer he could do so and he knows that."      

Xi Ying paused for a moment before he suddenly whispered coldly     

"You remember I was attacked a few months back …when I had gone to the border?"     

Li Rui nodded her head, It was when she and Xi Ying were not on good terms. Xi Ying had told her that he had been attacked during his journey.      

Xi Ying smiled coldly as he told Li Rui     

"That attack was also planned by him, Rui. He had wanted to kill me because he had thought I was of not any use of him any longer. After all, I had already given him a very strong plan to destroy Li and Yi Clan."     

Li Rui's face was blank for a few moments before her eyes suddenly went cold.      

"Then we will kill him."     

She said suddenly in a cold voice.      

Since her head was lowered, Xi Ying couldn't see her expression. However, it was the same expression Li Rui had when she had killed the shadow guard who had killed Li Mei in the forests.         

Her people…no one could harm them!      

If they tried then they would just leave this world.

The next morning, Xi Ying woke up early and then went to practice swordsmanship.      

Nearby. General Li was commanding his soldiers who were also practicing. He appointed someone to look at everyone and then walked to Xi Ying.      

Xi Ying noticed General Li coming in his direction, however, didn't stop for a long time. General Li waited patiently.      

The middle-aged General even clapped when Xi Ying had finished.      

Xi Ying was calm as he walked to General Li.      

There was silence between them for a long time before General Li asked him     

"Did Prime Minister Xi think about the plan again?"     

Xi Ying nodded his head slowly and General Li was relieved.      

"The plan needs to be changed."     

Xi Ying said slowly.      

Now there were many reasons behind it.     

Xi Ying looked at General Li and said      

"Let's meet in the study room tonight, General Li…after dinner."     

General Li didn't have any problem with that and agreed.      

And Xi Ying left from there.      

They needed to implement their plan before Zhao Zhuang Chen could do so. Because he wanted to see when Zhao Wang Lei would breathe his last.      

Only then will his heart that had been burning in the fire of revenge would calm down!
