บท 438: The Big Secret

Half a Shichen later, when Xi Ying and Zhao Zhang Wei came out of Empress Dowager's chambers, both of them had serious faces.

Both of them were lost in their thoughts.

It was Zhao Zhang Wei who broke the silence between them first. He had a humorless smile on his lips as he said 

"Benwang can't believe that Zhao Wang Lei did such a big blunder and it had been hidden so nicely for so long."

Xi Ying didn't say anything but the cold smile on his lips was enough for the agreement with Zhao Zhang Wei's words.

Xi Ying's eyes held mockery, irony, and many other emotions as he remembered Empress Dowager Xin Jian's words.

"He killed the man Aijia has loved for my whole life."

It had taken Xi Ying a moment to understand what actually the Empress Dowager was trying to say.

The man she loved...was it not the previous Emperor?

Was Empress Dowager really talking about the previous Emperor?
