Bab 399: Lord Xi's Confession (1)

That night, after Xi Ying came out of his study room with Li Rui, she suddenly asked him

"Ying, That physician…did you find out more about him?"

Xi Ying paused amidst his steps and shook his head lightly as he said.

"The only thing that An Si had found out until now is that he had been an Imperial Physician in the Imperial Palace and he had left the Imperial Palace by his own will."

They continued walking as Xi Ying held Li Rui's hand.

"But why did you suddenly ask this?"

He asked Li Rui curiously.

Li Rui licked her lips lightly and Xi Ying swallowed before looking away. His wife didn't know how her small actions aroused him and he fears to tell her sometimes fearing that she would think there always goes on one thing inside his mind.

"I feel that he can tell us something Important …especially when his leaving the Imperial Palace almost coincides with the time when Noble Consort Shu had died."
