Chapter 699 Xi Ying Tells Li Rui His Plan

　　Inside the silent study room, Li Rui\'s voice was quite clear and audible as she whispered 

　　Xi Ying hummed as he also sat on the chair placed beside his wife\'s chair. 

　　"How are you so sure?"

　　Xi Ying smiled. 

　　He told Li Rui that the old nanny knew all about this and An Si hypnotized her and came to know of this. 

　　"Though I am not sure where exactly he had buried them inside the garden, we still have enough information to proceed with this plan."

　　Li Rui, however, didn\'t look convinced. 

　　"Even if it is true that he buried both of them inside the Imperial Garden, why would Zhao Wang Lei help us in revealing such a big piece of information to everyone. The place might be somewhere that we can use to blame Qin Wenya as it is her hall in the Imperial Palace but Zhao Wang Lei would not let us reveal this because he had clearly announced years ago that Noble Consort Shu was dead and he had buried her body on his own without letting anyone know. If we revealed it, he will be a liar in people\'s eyes and hence he will never allow us to do this."

　　Xi Ying smiled again. 

　　"You are right but what if we create another story that will make him great in people\'s eyes."

　　Xi Ying\'s cold eyes flickered as he continued 

　　"As much as I have understood that man by now, he would never stop us in that matter."

　　After all, his reputation was also the greatest thing in his eyes. Was not that why he was scheming indirectly for so many years. Otherwise, as an Emperor, he could have executed General Li publicly and then have Yi Jie in his harem very easily. However, that would have made him look like an Emperor who was blinded by his lust…something he would never want to mention in history."

　　When Xi Ying told his plan to Li Rui further, her face went more serious. 

　　After a few moments, when he had finished, Li Rui was looking at him silently. Xi Ying frowned in confusion as he asked 

　　"What is wrong, Rui?"

　　Li Rui shook her head calmly and answered 

　　"I just got to know today why they call you the most intelligent and clever strategist."

　　Xi Ying stilled at those words. He looked into his wife\'s eyes trying to know if it was something that made her feel disgusted with him. However, it was a little difficult for him to find an answer in her eyes merely. 

　　Xi Ying felt a little nervous. He couldn\'t help but ask her.

　　"Rui, you don\'t dislike me because of that, right?"

　　Li Rui was caught off guard by Xi Ying\'s question. She blinked silently for a moment wondering why he came up with this thought. 

　　Then after a few moments of silence, she spoke softly 

　　"It is true that I don\'t like scheming. Lying, creating false stories…"

　　Xi Ying\'s heart sank when he heard these words. He lowered his head as his eyes dimmed and he breathed deeply so that he would not show mistakenly what he was feeling. 

　　However, he was also caught off guard when he heard Li Rui continuing. 

　　"But… somehow I don\'t dislike it when you do it."

　　Xi Ying raised his head almost swiftly to look at Li Rui again. Li Rui was smiling now. 

　　Her hand went to rest on his hand that was placed on the table and she whispered

　　"After all, you are not doing it to harm someone innocent. You are doing it for me, for my clan…"

　　"And for us."

　　Xi Ying completed her words. 

　　Though Li Rui smiled in confusion, she didn\'t ask him why he said the last few words. However, Xi Ying knew why he said that. 

　　Because if he didn\'t destroy Zhao Wang Lei then the latter would destroy him and his family. So he was just putting his everything to protect his family who was his life as well.

　　.

　　"Did you inform Father about this plan?"

　　Li Rui asked Xi Ying as they stood up from the chair. Xi Ying held her hand to help her and shook his head in \'no\'. 

　　"Not yet. I first wish to talk to the Second Prince about this plan."

　　Li Rui nodded her head. She remembered the anger and coldness in Zhao Zhang Wei\'s eyes when that day in the restaurant, the latter had been talking about Zhao Wang Lei. 

　　She and Xi Ying had concluded that Zhao Zhang Wei\'s hatred for Zhao Wang Lei was mostly because Zhao Wang Lei killed his mother. Though they were yet to know, how Zhao Zhang Wei came to know about this. 

　　"Will His Highness agree?"

　　  Li Rui asked Xi Ying. A part of her could already predict that Zhao Zhang Wei would not agree so easily. Though she had met him only a few times, she somehow could predict that Zhao Zhang Wei would not see the profit of removing Qin Wenya from their path but he would see that their plan would increase the prestige of Zhao Wang Lei …the man who had killed his mother. 

　　She even heard Xi Ying sighing and saying

　　"I had also been thinking about this."

　　Li Rui smiled and turned a little to look at him.

　　"Is that why you didn\'t go to Xinhe Palace?"

　　Xi Ying hummed in agreement. They were almost near the door when Xi Ying chuckled and said 

　　"The Second Prince is somehow intelligent but as well as stubborn man. I need to prepare myself to make him see that we would be getting much more after we will be done with this plan than we will lose."

　　Li Rui smiled calmly. She agreed with her husband on that. 

　　Zhao Zhang Wei was a good man. There was no doubt in that. Seeing that he was ready to take her Jiejie to Yantun valley that day without caring for his own life, she knew that somewhere he perhaps had feeling feelings for her Jiejie. 

　　However, the ego that he had inherited because of the royal blood hid that side of him for so many years. She wondered if he will ever learn that if he stayed that way, those days were not far when he would completely lose her Jiejie because slowly and slowly …her Jiejie was now learning to live without him.
