His Rui

Chapter 582 Who Poisoned Yi Jie?!

After finishing the meal, Xi Ying exited the dining room with Li Rui while General Li carried Yi Jie back to the room they were staying in.

Yi Jie refused him a lot as she felt very embarrassed because of being carried like this but General Li didn\'t listen to her at all.

After he could no longer see General Li and his wife, Xi Ying looked at his wife walking beside him and suddenly bent down to pick her up in his arms.

"Ying…"

Li Rui gasped as she tried to put her arms around his neck. She looked completely surprised and startled.

"Relax"

Xi Ying whispered as he started to walk toward their room.

Li Rui also felt very shy but she didn\'t say anything.

Looking down at his wife, who silently listened to him, he felt his heart going soft and asked her

"Do you feel pain at that place?"

It took Li Rui a moment what he was talking about but when she understood, her face immediately went red.

Xi Ying chuckled deeply as he suddenly leaned down and nuzzled his nose against her nose.

"How can you be so cute, Rui!"

Li Rui blinked her eyes unable to understand from where did he find her cute!

"No…"

She whispered softly and then looked at anywhere bit at him. Understanding her embarrassment, Xi Ying didn\'t ask any other questions and just entered the room.

After making her lie down on the bed, he said strictly.

"Now rest until I wake you up myself."

Li Rui obediently nodded her head. She also knew that her body needed rest. As long as it concerned her child, she would never take any risk.

Xi Ying smiled as he pressed a kiss on her forehead and then waited for her to go to sleep.

After he felt her even breathing, he finally left the room.

"No one should disturb the Madam while she is having rest."

He instructed Li Hua.

After that, Xi Ying went to the living room to find his son reading the book he had given to him. He was satisfied to see his son so focused.

Silently, Xi Ying walked toward him and suddenly picked him up in his arms.

"Father…"

Xi Ling gasped and then smiled.

Putting his arms around his father\'s neck, he nuzzled his nose against his father\'s cheek lovingly.

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows sensing the sudden change in his son\'s behavior.

\'So the brat would only get on the right path by the punishment…\'

He pondered inside his heart silently. However, soon he was proved wrong when Xi Ling leaned back in his arms and asked sweetly

"Father, Can Xi Ling meet Mother now?"

Xi Ying\'s lips twitched in amusement as well as in amazement.

\'A dog\'s tail could never go straight\'.

"No"

He said mercilessly and smiled when he saw his son\'s smile vanishing. In the end, he was also his father so when he saw his son\'s eyes filled with sadness, he told him the truth.

"Your mother needs rest, Xi Ling. Last night, she went unconscious because of exhaustion. It is not good for her and the baby\'s health."

Xi Ling\'s big black eyes immediately went wide and he said immediately.

"Xi Ling knew that there was something wrong. That old man had been heaving so suspiciously since this morning. Lingering around mother\'s room continuously and asking Sister Li Hua how is Mother now."

Xi Ying was surprised on hearing his son\'s words.

"The old physician was wandering about Rui\'s room?"

He asked his son who nodded his small head vigorously and said

"Yes, Father. He even cursed Father when Sister Li Hua told him that Father was inside with Mother."

Xi Ling wrinkled his eyebrows trying to remember something without even noticing his father\'s cold face.

"What did the old man say? Yes! …Father he said that Father doesn\'t know the meaning of the word \'restrain\'."

"I see."

Xi Ying spoke with a cold smile on his face.

"But how is Mother now, Father?"

Xi Ling asked his Father. Xi Ying let down his son and said in a neither too gentle nor too cold voice.

"She is alright now but she needs rest."

Fortunately, Xi Ling was a sensible child and immediately nodded his head as he said

"Then Xi Ling won\'t disturb Mother."

"Good."

Xi Ying said with satisfaction. He was about to ask his son about the book when his eyes fell on the man standing at the doors of the living room.

His eyes flickered and he looked at his son.

"Go and play for some time."

Xi Ling was very happy about being permitted to play and immediately ran away from there, fearing that his father would change his mind and suddenly hand him some other book to read.

As soon as his son left, Xi Ying looked at the man standing at the doors of the living room and called out.

"An Ping"

An Ping walked to stand in front of his master and bowed his head respectfully.

"This servant greets My Lord."

Xi Ying acknowledged his greeting and then asked coldly.

"Did you tell them to reach here as soon as possible?"

An Ping raised his head and this time smiled as he told his master.

"They are already here, My Lord."

Xi Ying\'s eyes flickered with surprise and then with relief.

"In Xi Manor?"

He asked his shadow guard who answered.

"Yes, My Lord."

Xi Ying was satisfied. He was about to leave with An Ping when General Li entered the living room and looked at him.

"Is everything alright, General Li?"

General Li nodded his head and looked at Xi Ying\'s shadow guard. Seeing this, Xi Ying signed An Ping to leave and finally looked at General Li waiting for him to say whatever he wanted to say.

"Prime Minister Xi, do you doubt anyone …any person who wished to take Yi Jie\'s life?"

General Li had been thinking for a long time …actually since the last night itself but he couldn\'t really come up with any name.

So he couldn\'t help but ask the young prime minister this question.

Xi Ying actually found many people dubious and Li Rong was also included among those people. But he didn\'t say anything to General Li.

"No, General Li.

General Li was disappointed on hearing this but Xi Ying assured him that he would surely find out whoever did this. General Li merely nodded his head. Just when Xi Ying was about to leave, he turned around to look at General Li and said seriously.

"General Li, did you really wish to kill dethrone Zhao Wang Lei with me?"
