His Rui

Chapter 560 Yantun Valley

Yantun Valley was neither a part of Xin nor the part of the countries that were a neighboring country of Xin.

It was a valley amidst the mountains…the area that never any Empire tried to win over.

The reason was simple.

In Yantun valley lived a group of five physicians…physicians who could cure any kind of disease.

That was what everyone say about Yantun valley's physicians.

There was also a saying that those physicians could bring a dead person to life.

However, it depended on their will who they wanted to treat. The last person that Yantun valley had accepted to treat from the outside world was almost a century ago.

After that, many rich people had gone their with their loved ones who they wanted to get treated, however, those physicians never accepted those people.

When anyone tried to use the force, they were killed mercilessly. Many people of course had never come back from Yantun valley.

So the contemporary people only thought that there was only two outcomes a person would get after going Yantun valley.

Either they would get their loved one treated from those 'immortal' physicians, which had a probability almost zero, or they would lose their life and never come back again.

Slowly and slowly, people stopped going to Yantun valley and they would simply accept their fate when their family member would die.

That's why the outer hall of the Lantai courtyard which had only three more people except for Zhao Zhang Wei and an unconscious Yi Huiqing went silent at Zhao Zhang Wei's words.

Xi Ying looked at Zhao Zhang Wei with surprise-filled eyes.

It had been actually many years since he had last heard the name of Yantun valley. Perhaps the mention had been in one of the books he had read during his childhood. His father had told him many things about the place from the same book.

However, Xi Ying never thought that such a place really existed in this world.

If there was, then why was it not conquered until now. He believed that it was just some kind of rumor spread by someone that slowly became a legend in the books.

Xi Ying remembered even when he had asked his father whether this place really existed or not, his father had uncertainty-filled eyes and had said honestly.

'I don't know. I have never seen or heard anything about this place from anyone else except in the books.

After that, Xi Ying tried to find out more information from the books but every time he would find something, he would see that all of it was written by just one person and all the information was the same.

It said that there were five physicians in the valley and they had a few disciples who they were training.

In this world, nothing interested them except the poisons, medicines, and diseases.

They would only take a person inside their valley if the person was suffering from a disease that they have never seen before so that they would be able to learn something new.

In other words, the people they cured were nothing but an experimental body for them.

Though the person who had gone inside never came out because after going inside once, the person himself would not have any will to go out.

This used to make people wonder what kind of power the valley possessed.

However, for Xi Ying, this kind of magical valley never existed.

"Does Your Highness know where this valley is?"

Xi Ying asked the prince curiously.

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes flickered for a moment but then he said confidently.

"Benwang will find it."

Now, looking at Zhao Zhang Wei, Xi Ying felt that love could really make people go to any limit.

Just like he, who had been taught from his childhood that he and his clan was supposed to be loyal to the Imperial Clan, but knowing that the Emperor wanted the life of the person he loved dearly, he wished to kill the Emperor itself.

And Zhao Zhang Wei didn't know that Yi Huiqing was alright, he was ready to take Yi Huiqing to Yantun valley…a valley that no one knows where it was.

"And what will this Lord answer when someone will come and ask about Princess Consort and Your Highness?"

To Xin Ying's question, Zhao Zhang Wei replied icily with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Benwang doesn't care."

The only person he cared about right now was the woman in his arms.

Xi Ying could really understand Zhao Zhang Wei.

He looked towards Li Rui who still had a calm face and wondered when exactly she planned to tell Zhao Zhang Wei the truth.

At the same time, he wondered why she was lying to Zhao Zhang Wei.

She perhaps couldn't understand but he knew what might be Zhao Zhang Wei feeling on knowing that the woman he loved might no longer wake up.

It could be seen from the prince's face itself that had changed so much in just a few shichens.

"Your Highness."

It was Li Rui who stepped forward this time.

She held Yi Huiqing's hand and touched it softly as she looked at Zhao Zhang Wei.

"Elder Sister's hands are already cold. By the time, you will reach Yantun valley, she will already stop bre…"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Zhang Wei said to Li Rui coldly.

His phoenix eyes on Li Rui were sharp and cold as if he wanted to do nothing but strangle her for saying such words.

Xi Ying frowned and said coldly.

"Your Highness, please refrain yourself from speaking so rudely to this Lord's wife."

"Then ask her to stay out of this matter. If she can't help then she better stay out of it, Prime Minister Xi."

Zhao Zhang Wei finished and started to walk forward.

However, Li Rui who looked calm and collected blocked his way. This time, Zhao Zhang Wei almost raised his hand to push her away and Xi Ying's eyes flickered with coldness when he saw this.

The young prime minister stepped forward to save his wife. However, he suddenly saw Zhao Zhang Wei's hand halting amidst his actions.

His phoenix eyes were on Li Rui's slightly protruding stomach as he took his hand back.

The coldness in Xi Ying's eyes reduced to some extent.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhang Wei had enough rationality to see this.

On the other hand, he also saw that Li Rui's eyes softened for a moment. When Zhao Zhang tried to pass her again, she finally said

"I can save her but why should I save her?"
