His Rui

Chapter 541 The Merciless Lord Xi

"For the prestige of the Imperial Clan…"

Xi Ying sneered coldly again as he said those words in his cold voice.

His eyes on Qin Wenya were filled with mockery and one of his hands rested on his sword. His patience was really ending.

This drama…now he just wished to end it.

So just in a span of a few hours, Xi Ying's sword came out of its sheath for the second time and it again rested on the same neck.

"P…P…Prime Min..Minister Xi. What are you doing? This servant didn't do anything wrong now."

The old nanny who was shivering badly under the sword said with difficulty.

However, Xi Ying kept his sword in the same place instead with more force than almost made the nanny think that if she moved even a bit, the sword would cut her neck on its own.

"Tell everyone, seventeen years ago…who was it who had hidden the hairpin in Li Zhan's clothes during the banquet. Tell everyone the truth."

The old nanny's throat went dry and her wide eyes were filled with shock.

Even Princess Wenling who was standing silently until now was trembling all over. That incident…it had a great shadow over her heart.

Zhao Wenling still remembered that she had not been able to sleep for many nights after she had seen Li Zhan's dead body getting out of that large hall.

Li Rui's screams would ring in her ears and she had almost thought at that time that she would go crazy. If it had not been her mother, who had told her again and again that she didn't do anything wrong because it was Li Rui first who had betrayed her in this friendship, Zhao Wenling would have never recovered from that trauma.

Yes, it was Li Rui who had betrayed her.

It was Li Rui who had tried to take her life, who had tried to steal the limelight that had belonged to her so she did nothing wrong but show her place to her.

But how did Xi Ying know about that incident?

Her heart was filled with panic as she clenched her fists tightly to stay calm. But it proved to be very difficult.

The thought that Xi Ying knew everything made her wonder if he also knew that it was she who was involved in this planning. Princess Wenling's body went cold when she thought this.

Who told Xi Ying all this? She thought silently and without any effort, only one name came to her mind and that name belonged to Li Rui.

Yes, it must be Li Rui who told Xi Ying everything.

That bitch….

The guilt of wronging Li Rui for four years that Zhao Wenling had been feeling suddenly vanished away and her hatred for Li Rui returned again and with high force this time.

It was Li Rui who made Xi Ying hate her so how could she not hate Li Rui!

Inside her mind, Princess Wenling promised herself that once all this would finish, she would definitely kill Li Rui even if she would need to do it herself.

However, at this moment, what could she do?

The old nanny was trying to put up an act of being innocent.

"This old servant doesn't know what Prime Minister Xi is talking about."

The old nanny said firmly and put a confused expression on her face.

Irritation flashed through Xi Ying's eyes. He removed his sword from the nanny's neck making her heave a sigh of relief but the old nanny never saw the cold glint in her eyes.

A moment later, the old nanny was screaming wildly in the banquet hall rolling from here to there while holding her right hand in her left hand.

In front of everyone, Xi Ying had cut her pinky finger mercilessly.

The old nanny remembered that she had never suffered after she had entered the Imperial Palace.

In all her life after entering the Imperial Palace, she had never cried out with anguish and pain except the two times when she had been slapped by the princess.

"Prime Minister Xi"

Zhao Wang Lei's deep and cold voice sounded in the banquet hall.. It had a warning…a warning for Xi Ying to stop. However, Xi Ying didn't seem to hear it at all.

He looked at the screaming old nanny and picking the cut finger from the floor he said

"If you don't want it to be your hand next time then dare to pretend in front of this Lord again!"

"Prime Minister Xi"

Zhao Wang Lei shouted this time.

However, Xi Ying again ignored him shocking all the people.

"Now tell everyone what exactly had happened seventeen years ago. Everything…and by everything this Lord also means how you had framed this Lord's wife when it was you who had pushed the princess inside the pond."

Xi Ying's last few words were again a new revelation.

By now, people were shaking their heads as they wondered just how many people had schemed Li Rui. However, what they admired was how patiently Xi Ying was standing there and demanding justice for his wife.

Though he was behaving outrageously, this was the most merciful behavior you could expect from the merciless prime minister of the Xin.

If he had his way with these people, then according to his reputation, he should have killed all of them by now.

Zhao Wang Lei was left very furious by Xi Ying's outrageous behavior, Without thinking anything, he said coldly

"Guards, hold Prime Minister Xi down."

Xi Ying smirked coldly when he heard this.

Yi Jie looked panicked while General Li stood up from his seat and was about to say something when Xi Ying heard the sound of footsteps from his behind.

Even before those Imperial guards could surround him, he said coldly as he flashed his sword in front of them arrogantly.

"If you wish to lose your life then step forward."

Finishing his words, he then turned to look at the Emperor and said coldly.

"If Your Majesty wishes to make this banquet hall a battlefield, then this Lord would gladly do so because even this Lord's patience is ending now."
