Chapter 704: The Stuck Zhao Wang Lei

Xi Ying didn't visit Xinhe Palace that day immediately. He didn't want to arouse anyone's suspicion on himself …, especially Zhao Wang Lei's. 

However, just when he stepped out of the Imperial Court, Eunuch Wang came running to him to inform him that the Emperor wanted to see him. 

Xi Ying hid the smile that was threatening to form on his lips and nodded his head. 

He, without making an excuse, followed Eunuch Wang to the Imperial Study who immediately asked him to go inside. 

"This subject greets Your Majesty."

Xi Ying stood in front of the table and greeted Zhao Wang Lei who immediately waved his hand and signed him to sit. 

Xi Ying could finally see the panic that the Emperor had been trying to hide in the Imperial Court. 

Though no one pointed his finger at him, it was natural for the guilty one to fear that his secrets would come out when the investigation would be done.
