His Rui-Chapter 733: General Li Determined To Support Xi Ying

Xi Ying also didn't focus much in the Imperial Assembly that day.

He was thinking.

He was thinking about what should be the right time to implement his plan. He no longer wanted to wait to kill Zhao Wang Lei.

With all these thoughts, he left the Imperial Palace.

Coincidentally when he climbed down from the horse in Li Manor, General Li entered at the same time.

The servant took the reins of the horse from Xi Ying and took it to the stable while Xi Ying walked to General Li.

"General Li"

"Prime Minister Xi"

After both of them had greeted each other, they walked together further inside Li Manor.

Both of them were silent until General Li spoke

"I still can't believe that he is really planning something like this."

Xi Ying halted amidst his steps.

He looked at General Li and sighed lightly. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

He knew that just now General Li talked the way a friend would talk about his friend. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder just strong the friendship between General Li and Zhao Wang Lei must have been that General Li never thought of killing him.

Partially he knew that it was because of his ancestors' oath that he didn't kill Zhao Wang Lei but still, Xi Ying thought that their past also played a great role in this.

If he had been in the same situation then Zhao Wang Lei would not have been alive by now.

Even if he would have to carry the stain of the man who killed the Emperor and committed treason, he would not leave a man alive who was having such dirty thoughts regarding his wife.

"This Lord would not lie to you, General Li."

Xi Ying said calmly as he continued walking and General Li's response came immediately

"I know."

Then there was another long silence and when they were about to part ways, General Li asked Xi Ying

"You know when he is planning to implement his plan?" 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

That was the only thing he didn't know. Xi Ying sighed and shook his head in 'no'.

General Li looked grim when he saw this. After a moment, he suddenly had a determined expression on his face and asked Xi Ying

"Why don't we implement our plan before he would be able to do anything?'

Xi Ying's eyes flickered suddenly and he smirked.

Was he not thinking the same since last night?

Finally, both of them seem to agree somewhere.

When Xi Ying went to the room he was staying with his wife, he found her asleep. It was normal but still, he left the room quietly and asked Li Hua and Liu Lan if Li Rui was alright.

Only when Liu Lan informed him that Li Rui was feeling sleepy and that's why only she went to sleep, did he sigh in relief.

Li Manor was quite less dangerous for his wife since Li Na and Li Caihong were no longer there.

If that pair of sisters had been here, then Xi Ying would have never agreed to come here. In fact, when he had talked to General Li before coming to Xi Manor, he had specifically pointed out that he didn't want Li Rong around his wife.

His shadow guards were also told that they were to be more careful when Li Rong was around his wife.

The food was also tasted by Li Hua or Liu Lan and also tested by the old physician before Li Rui had it.

His wife was also a very capable physician and Xi Ying knew that she would not let anything happen to her because their child's life also depended on her.

He didn't want anything to go wrong because of some people's malice.

This child …it was his and Li Rui's dream.

Li Rui didn't see Xi Ling's childhood and he wanted her to experience what she couldn't do before and he wanted to see her while doing all that.

In the Delan Palace, Zhao Zhuang Chen had a thoughtful expression on his face. In his hands was the letter that had been handed to him by Li Qiang.

"Your Highness. Is your proposal still open for this minister?"

Zhao Zhuang Chen read the letter again.

The proposal that he had put forward in front of Li Qiang flashed in his mind again.

'Minister Li will be the head and General of the military in Xin once Benwang ascends the throne but for that, this minister wishes Minister Li's unconditional support. Even if Minister Li would have to go against his brother, he should not hesitate to do so if accepted Benwang's conditions.'

At that time, Li Qiang had not answered him. However, since the former never tried to contact him again, he thought that Li Qiang didn't accept his proposal.

So he had also not bothered him again.

However, today…

Zhao Zhuang Chen felt slightly doubtful as he looked at the letter in his hands. He didn't know if he could believe Li Qiang or not.

Why would he suddenly decide to involve himself in his plans?

After much thought, Zhao Zhuang Chen wrote a letter and was about to call for his shadow guard when he stopped suddenly.

He suddenly remembered that he heard some ministers talking in the Imperial Court that Xi Ying was staying in the Li Manor.

So his shadow guards must be there as well.

However bitter it was but Zhao Zhuang Chen had to accept that Xi Ying had much more capable shadow guards than he had. So he couldn't send the letter to Li Manor otherwise he might get caught.

Since he didn't know whether Xi Ying was really on Zhao Zhang Wei's side or not, it was not wise to take risk.

Thinking this, Zhao Zhuang Chen decided to wait for tomorrow. Just a few moments later, he ordered the maid to call Yun Weilan.

However, a long time passed but Yun Weilan didn't come.

Impatience flickered in Zhao Zhuang Chen's eyes. He was about to shout for Yun Weilan again when she finally entered.

"Where were you?"

Zhao Zhuang Chen asked immediately and Yun Weilan looked at him for a second before she said

"This wangfei just returned from Yun Manor, Your Highness."

Zhao Zhuang Chen's eyes flashed with realization and he immediately forgot all his anger. Eagerly he stood up from the bed and walked to her

"What did your Father say?"

"Father…"

Yun Weilan paused for a moment before she said

"Agreed."

Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't look surprised. He had actually known that Yun Weilan's father would agree. The man was too greedy. The greed and the benefits he could as the father-in-law of an Emperor would be able to make him agree.

He knew it very well.

However, he still didn't talk to Minister Yun on his own because he didn't want to take any risk.

What if Minister Yun had refused and told his plan to someone else! He would have been declared a traitor in Xin.

That's why he sent Yun Weilan to her father. Even if Minister Yun decided to do what he had not thought of him doing, it would be Yun Weilan who would be implicated…he could back away and say that both of them were framing him at any time and they would have no evidence to prove anything.

However, now he knew that Minister Yun was also with him, Zhao Zhuang Chen was relieved.

"Good, Ask him to find some time to come and meet me. Benwang will discuss the plan with him."

Yun Weilan bit her lips when she heard that.

Seeing that her expression was slightly weird, Zhao Zhuang Chen frowned and asked

"Is something wrong?"

Yun Weilan seemed to be contemplating whether she should tell him or not, however, she knew that she would have to tell him so she said

"Father refused to meet Your Highness in the Imperial Palace."

"What?"

Zhao Zhuang Chen asked with a confused expression on his face and Yun Weilan explained in a low voice

"Father said he can't afford to be seen with Your Highness by anyone. So it would be better if Your Highness would send any message to him through this wangfei. Any kind of help would be provided by him like this."

Zhao Zhuang Chen's face went black and he flew in rage at these words.

How could he not understand what Minister Yun was trying to do by this! The clever and greedy minister wanted gains but didn't want to take any risk.

He wanted to ensure his safety in case, he, Zhao Zhuang Chen got unsuccessful in his plan.

Zhao Zhuang Chen wanted to curse Minister Yun loudly but seeing that Yun Weilan was standing there in front of him, he controlled himself.

He tried to comfort himself that getting support in such a situation where he didn't have anyone on his side was also not a bad thing.

He needed people to carry out his plan and he could ask Minister Yun to help him in this regard.

"Alright, then Benwang would write a detailed plan and some requirements on a paper. Bring it to Your Father."

Relief flashed in her eyes when Yun Weilan saw that he agreed with the proposal.

"This wangfei will do as Your Highness will say."

She said sincerely.

Soon after she left Zhao Zhuang Chen's chambers while the former got busy drawing out his plan details for Minister Yun.
