Bab 431: What Does Empress Dowager Want?

"What do you think, Rui?"

Xi Ying asked his wife calmly as he stretched out his hand and pulled her towards him. Li Rui, however, didn't say anything in response. Her eyes were towards the wall where the old physician was hiding.

She knew that Xi Ying was not unknown as he had not said anything important yet. Sure enough, the next moment he said

"How should we kill that old man? Should we hang him or cut his body with the sword?"

The old physician who was hiding behind the wall started to tremble fiercely. Because of his trembling legs, he soon fell down on the ground with a pale face.

There was silence in the garden for the next few moments …at least until the old physician gathered himself and came out from his hiding place. His face was red with rage and he pointing his finger at Xi Ying's face he said 

"Young Man…you …I have believed you. You can't back down from your words. How can you think of killing me now?"
