章 686: Zhao Wang Lei's Doubts About Xi Ying

The study room was filled with nothing but an ear-piercing silence.

Zhao Wang Lei looked at Xi Ying with an emotionless face. On one hand, his mind said that Xii Ying's investigation could not produce a wrong result while another part of his mind contradicted by saying that why would Qin Wenya try to kill Yi Jie!

And that was what he asked from Xi Ying. 

"But Prime Minister Xi…why would Empress do something like this?"

Xi Ying smiled a little mysteriously. He shrugged his shoulders with his eyebrows raised and said 

"That is something that only Your Majesty can find out, after all, this matter concerns the people living in the Imperial Palace where this Lord's hand doesn't reach as long as Your Majesty's does."

Xi Ying lied calmly. 

In fact, he wanted Zhao Wang Lei to find out that Qin Wenya knew everything. So that he would himself lay out the plan to punish Qin Wenya for her over cleverness.
