Chapter 586 Where Is Li Caihong?

It was evening now.

Xi Ying was sitting inside the study room. His table was free of books but a long map was laid on it.

The map of the Imperial Palace.

His cold eyes looked at the map intently but his calm face couldn't help anyone else to guess what exactly was going on in his mind.

At the same time, the door of the study room was knocked.

Xi Ying didn't even raise his head as he asked

"Who is it?"

"Master, it is An Shing."

"Step inside the room."

Xi Ying ordered coldly and An Shing soon stepped inside the room. He finally raised his head and walked across the table to stand in front of his shadow guard whose head was lowered and asked coldly

"What's the matter, An Shing?"

"My Lord, the head of the Imperial Guards from the Imperial Palace is here."

"Ohhh…"

Xi Ying's face didn't change at all and the next moment, he waved his hand and said

"Let him inside."

"Yes, Master."

An Shing bowed his head and left from there. Xi Ying turned around and picked the map from the table and folded it completely.

After that, he put it inside one of the books from the rake.

At the same time, the door of the study room was knocked again.

Xi Ying didn't acknowledge the person outside immediately. He picked the same book and then sat on the chair with it open in his hands comfortably.

Only after that, he ordered coldly

"Enter."

Sure enough, it was the head of the Imperial Guards. Xi Ying recognized him very well.

The man's head was lowered but whether it was because of fear or respect, it was unknown. However, he was feeling fortunate when he didn't stammer while saying his next few words.

"Greetings, Prime Minister."

Xi Ying grunted in acknowledgment and asked coldly.

"What brought you here to this Lord's Manor?"

There was surely something about his aura, his cold voice. The head of the Imperial Guards thought inside his heart. Even if he wanted to say his next few words with his back straight, he couldn't do so.

"Prime Minister Xi…actually…"

The man swallowed before he continued again

"Actually this morning, the guards went to Li Manor to send Third Lady Li to the monastery as it had been decided. However, the third Lady Li ran away this morning. My men…they tried to find her everywhere in the Imperial City but they couldn't find her anywhere."

The man paused thinking for a moment about what his next words should be. A few moments later, he continued

"This one apologizes for the irresponsibility of my men."

The man closed his eyes and sighed in relief. His head was lowered so Xi Ying couldn't see all this.

However, he himself couldn't see how the prime minister sitting on the chair was smiling coldly.

"Ran away…."

His words but neither cold nor warm making the man wonder whether he would be kicked by him or not.

However, Xi Ying just asked him one question and that was

"How is His Majesty doing?"

The man was a little confused by this question. It took him a few moments to arrange his words and say

"His Majesty is doing very well, Prime Minister Xi."

As if feeling that it was not enough, the man continued

"His Majesty regrets deeply that Imperial Guards couldn't find Third Lady Li anywhere and hence sent this one to apologize to Prime Minister Xi."

"What's the need for an apology?"

Xi Ying said with a cold smile on his lips, however, the head who couldn't see this was relieved inside his heart. It seemed that this matter didn't matter that much to Prime Minister Xi as he showed in the Imperial banquet hall that day. He knew these noble families very well.

Perhaps Prime Minister Xi was also putting a show in front of Lady Li's parents. However, all of these things were not something that he should care about.

He merely wanted to leave Xi Manor safely today.

"This one is grateful to Prime Minister Xi for showing this mercy."

"Can you do a work for me?"

Xi Ying again said something that the head had not expected. However, he hurriedly nodded his head and said

"Yes, Prime Minister Xi."

Xi Ying smiled and then took a paper and brush. He scribbled with the brush for some time and a few moments later, he passed a letter to the head and said

"Here take this to Your Majesty."

The man stepped forward and took the letter from Xi Ying. He put it inside his robe and said

"Prime Minister Xi, this one will take this letter to Your Majesty safely."

Xi Ying nodded his head without looking at the man. His eyes were already on the book that was in his hands. Seeing this, the man understood and decided to take his leave.

After the man left, Xi Ying clapped his hands and soon An Shing stepped inside the study room again.

"My Lord."

"Where is she?"

Xi Ying asked An Shing coldly.

An Shing's face didn't have any emotion as he said

"In the stables."

"Good."

Xi Ying nodded his head.

"Keep an eye on her. Don't let her run away from Xi Manor. Don't let her run into Madam and transfer her to some other place in a few days. Also…don't give her anything to eat or during until my last order."

"Yes, My Lord."

An Shing obeyed and Xi Ying waved his hand to dismiss him. The shadow guard left from there.

Xi Ying smiled coldly as he focused his attention back on the book.

He had already known that Li Rong might try to attempt something like this so as soon as his shadow guards had come to the Xi Manor, he sent a few of them to Li Manor.

And as soon as Li Caihong stepped out of Li Manor, they caught her.

The stupid Li Rong didn't know that Li Caihong staying at the monastery was the safest option for her daughter.

Now in the eyes of everyone else, her daughter had already escaped, so even if he killed her no one would find anything.

And how could he let such a woman linger around freely who had so much poison inside her heart for his wife!

That would simply be a stupid thing to do especially after whatever he had learned from yesterday's incidents.
