บท 88: A Father's Selfishness

The next day Li Rui woke up very late. The three maids didn't wish to disturb her peaceful sleep.

Even when General Li returned from the Imperial Court to Li Manor, she was on the bed.

Back in his courtyard, Yi Jie was pacing outside when he returned.

"Heng…"

Yi Jie called her husband when she saw him.

"What are you worrying about?"

General Li asked seeing the frown on his wangfei's forehead.

"Rui…Heng, what happened yesterday inside the Imperial Palace?"

A sigh of relief escaped General Li's lips when he saw that she didn't know anything.

"Nothing happened. Just a little fight between Princess and Li Rui. I have told His Majesty that Rui will not go to Imperial Palace for a few days."

He comforted her with his lies.

Yi Jie frown smoothened at her husband's words.

"Oh…"

After coaxing his wangfei, General Li went to his daughter's courtyard only to hear from the maids that she was still sleeping.
