Chapter 554 Yi Junjie\'s Request From Zhao Wang Lei(2)

Zhao Wang Lei had never expected that Yi Junjie would request something like that. He had thought that he was here to request him to look for some suitable physician who would be able to treat his sister. And for that, he even had a ready speech.

Who for more capable than the Imperial Physician!

If he knew someone who was more capable than him, then he should look for that person on his own!

However, after hearing Yi Junjie\'s wish, he was tongue-tied.

Separation …who had even dared to demand separation from him for the marriage that had been arranged by him, the Emperor!

No one has ever dared to do so.

The old Eunuch by Zhao Wang Lei\'s side sensed his master\'s displeasure and said to Yi Junjie.

"Does Lord Yi even know what he is talking about?"

"Yes."

Yi Junjie said fearlessly ignoring Eunuch Zhang\'s feeble attempt of making him change his words.

Zhao Wang Lei\'s eyes flickered when he saw this.

Seeing that the old Eunuch was about to say something else, he stopped him by raising his hand and then looked at Yi Junjie.

"Why does Lord Yi have such a wish …at such a moment when your sister is lying on the bed? Does she know how you are trying to ruin her marriage?"

"No, she doesn\'t. Princess Consort Yi is unaware of all this but this Lord is sure that Princess Consort will be equally happy with this decision."

Yi Junjie said confidently.

In front of his eyes, flashed Yi Huiqing\'s lost eyes when he had seen her confessing that day her children were poisoned and killed by someone else.

And Zhao Zhang Wei knew this all along but never bothered to tell her the truth.

Yi Junjie came out of his trance when he heard Zhao Wang Lei speaking coldly.

"Zhen would not grant any such wish."

Zhao Wang Lei said coldly and then waved his hand to dismiss Yi Junjie.

"Your Majesty…"

Yi Junjie had wanted to say something else too but Zhao Wang Lei interrupted him and said

"Lord Yi should know that such matter can\'t be discussed until Princess Consort is present here herself."

That was also true.

Yi Junjie knew this and hence he could only go silent. His lips were pressed in a thin line as he slowly turned around to leave.

However, inside his heart, Yi Junjie was determined that as soon as Yi Huiqing would woke up, he would bring this matter up again.

Today his sister was fighting with death because of the same man who was the reason for all his suffering.

Yi Junjie was now determined not to let his sister in this relationship that was only giving her pain any longer.

Behind him, Zhao Wanng Lei scoffed coldly.

His thoughts were completely different from Yi Junjie because he never expected that Yi Huiqing would really wake up again.

What separation…there would not come any need of that.

Now he wished that Yi Huiqing would really do that otherwise if Yi Huiqing really woke up and recovered her health, Yi Junjie would bring this matter up again.

And then perhaps he would have granted his wish.

Heaving to grant the divorce to a couple who were arranged by him, it would be humiliating for Zhao Wang Lei because that would be accepting that his decision of marrying Yi Huiqing and Zhao Zhang Wei was incorrect.

Zhao Wang Lei\'s mood soured with these thoughts.

The next moment, he looked at Eunuch Wang and said

"Any news from Xi Manor?"

However, his mood only got worse when Eunuch Wang shook his head.

"Send someone to check what is going on."

Eunuch Wang immediately nodded his head and left to do the said job.

However, he had just left when he came back. Zhao Wang Lei frowned and said

"Why did you come back?"

Eunuch Wang was panting as he told his master.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xi found out who was behind the attack?"

"What?"

Zhao Wang Lei immediately stood up from his seat.

His eyes were filled with panic. Actually, the only person who he could think of was behind this attack was ZhaobZhuang Chen. If Xi Ying really found that this attack was done by Zhao Zhuang Chen, then all of his plans would become a mess.

Zhao Wang Lei knew that.

"Is he outside?"

Zhao Wang Lei asked immediately. The only thing inside his mind was that he needs to stop Xi Ying.

He needs to stop Xi Ying from telling this to anyone else.

"Ask him to enter!"

Zhao Wang Lei said and sensing the hurry in his voice, Eunuch Wang departed.

Soon Xi Ying entered the Imperial Chambers. However, he was not alone.

With him entered a few Imperial Guards who were dragging three men inside.

Zhao Wang Lei frowned as he tried to recognize who these people were. However, their badly beaten faces and lowered heads made him unable to do so.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Xi Ying greeted the Emperor with a bow and a cold voice. After that, he looked at the three ministers and said

"Your Majesty, these three …it was they who had planned this attack. That attacker was hired by them."

Zhao Wang Lei frowned.

He only thought that these three were also Zhao Zhuang Chen\'s people. So Xi Ying had found out or not that the attack was planned by Zhao Zhuang Chen.

To know how much Xi Ying knows, Zhao Wang Lei asked him.

"Who are they, Prime Minister Xi?"

"They are ministers from convoy who were sent from Qin."

And hearing this, Zhao Wang Lei\'s eyes went wide with surprise and shock.

Indeed, now he looked at the three ministers, they were indeed from the convoy.

But they looked almost unrecognizable from the state they were currently in.

Just how did Xi Ying beat them!

Zhao Wang Lei thought inside his heart as he tried to compose himself.

However, he never knew that it was not Xi Ying who did this.

It was the second Prince, Zhao Zhang Wei who was responsible for the current state of the convoy ministers.
