章 716: Trying To Find Comfort

"This minister's wife stays worried about Princess Consort Yi after the attack. Since this minister doesn't want her to come out of Xi Manor, this minister goes to Xinhe Palace sometimes and ask about Princess Consort health from His Highness."

Xi Ying calmly told the excuse he had prepared beforehand to Zhao Wang Lei. 

Since he had already expressed that the child in Li Rui's belly mattered to him a lot, Zhao Wang Lei would not feel suspicious because in his eyes, he was doing all this for his child's health not for Li Rui. 

Sure enough, Zhao Wang Lei seemed to be satisfied with his reason and nodded his head. 

Xi Ying glanced at him coldly for one last time and then finally took his leave. 

He left Imperial Palace soon. 

Making sure that Qin Wenya would not make any chaos was now Zhao Wang Lei's problem. After all, he would not want the former to reveal his secret in fury and fear of getting beheaded in the very near future.
