His Rui

Chapter 602 Who Is Mi Luan?!

Gu Li's eyes flickered with confusion when he heard Li Rui's demand.

Did her husband not know already who sent them to kill his wife? Then why was she asking him this question?

However, a moment later, the confusion vanished away from his eyes when he saw Li Rui's calm eyes. It seemed that Prime Minister Xi never told his wife who wanted her life.

In fact, now Gu Li was also very curious as to why Zhao Wang Lei wanted to kill Li Rui. What will he get by killing Li Rui?

Before he had never pondered over these questions because he just wanted the money after doing his job. He didn't care who and why Zhao Wang Lei wanted his people to kill.

However, the powder that he found with Li Rui made him curious about her.

Especially when she said that it was she who made it.

There was a guess inside his heart but he was not sure whether he was right or not. But his questions could only be answered by this woman.

Gu Li came out of his trance when he heard the little shadow guard with whom he had fought outside Plum Courtyard speak coldly.

"Did you not hear what My Lady said just now?"

Gu Li smiled lightly. He really like this young boy and was thinking of taking him away once he would get free from here.

He still didn't know that An Ju was not a boy but a girl.

When An Ju saw him smiling instead of answering her mistress, she was furious and looked at Li Rui.

"My Lady, leave this matter to me. I will make him answer My Lady's all questions without having you give anything to him."

At these words, Gu Li raised his eyebrows while his companions looked at each other in amusement. They knew very well whatever may happen, whatever kind of torture anyone of the will go through, not a single one of them would utter the name of the person who had sent them.

After all, it was their rule.

Li Rui looked at An Ju who looked ready to kill Gu Li and said calmly.

"You leave from here."

"But, My Lady…."

An Ju was shocked by Li Rui's words. How could she dare to leave Li Rui alone with Gu Li! However, Li Rui told her calmly.

"He won't harm me."

Li Rui turned to look at Gu Li as she continued

"After all, if he tried to harm me then he would never get his answers."

Gu Li's eyes sharpened but he couldn't help but admire Li Rui for recognizing his need to get the answers. She was right.

If she gave him his answers then he would not need to take any kind of job of killing people to collect money.

Since he wanted his answers, he assured Li Rui.

"My organization never kills pregnant women."

An Ju scoffed when she heard this. Ignoring this, Gu Li continued

"Even the day before yesterday, we were just going to take you with us. We don't kill pregnant women and children."

Li Rui's eyes flickered as she observed Gu Li's body language keenly. A few moments later, she nodded her head and again asked An Ju to leave.

Though An Ju disappeared from there she stayed around. She still could hear whatever Li Rui and Gu Li were talking about.

"I will tell you."

Gu Li said to Li Rui and Li Rui silently focused all of her attention on him. On the other hand, the other three shadow guards were shocked at hearing their master's words.

How could he break their rule of not revealing the name of their clients! However, everyone had that much understanding. They knew very well that if their master would never do anything without knowing its consequences.

If he was taking such a big step just to know something then that something must be of great importance.

"The person who hired us to kill you…He is the Emperor of Xin, Zhao Wang Lei."

Just when Gu Li finished his words, the door of the room opened abruptly and Xi Ying entered in long strides.

Li Rui whose eyes were filled with confusion and shock turned her head to look towards the door. Everyone did the same.

Xi Ying looked relieved when he saw that Li Rui looked alright. His cold eyes then went to the tied Gu Li.

Li Rui was surprised to see that Xi Ying had returned from the Imperial Palace so early. However, more of her attention was still on what Gu Li told her just now. She turned her head to look at Gu Li again.

"But why would His Majesty want to kill me?"

She couldn't help but blurt out the question inside his heart never noticing how Xi Ying who was about to walk towards her suddenly stopped amidst his steps.

His body was stiff as he looked at his wife and then at Gu Li.

So she knew now that it was Zhao Wang Lei who tried to kill her! Xi Ying didn't know what he should say. He himself didn't tell Li Rui anything about this matter but now that she came to know about this from someone else, he only felt guilty inside his heart.

"I don't know."

Gu Li told her honestly. Just when he was about to ask the questions from his side, Xi Ying called out to his wife stiffly

"Rui"

Li Rui turned her head to look at Xi Ying again. She frowned when she noticed that his face didn't look too good.

Slowly she stood up from the chair and stepped forward in his direction but Xi Ying was faster than her. He covered the distance between them and soon was holding her hand in his.

"Are you alright?"

She nodded her head knowing very well that he must be known to whatever happened in the morning.

Gu Li's eyes flickered with impatience when he saw the husband and wife's interaction. Without any hesitation, he interrupted them and said to Li Rui

"Now it is your turn to abide by the deal."

Hearing his words, Li Rui turned to look at him. She nodded her head calmly and asked

"Then what do you wish to know?"

"The same question."

"The answer is the same. It was I who made that powder."

Gu Li's eyes flickered with confusion but a moment later, he suddenly thought of something and asked

"Then from where did you learn it?"

Li Rui looked confused as to why he wanted to know all this. But she told him honestly.

"It was I who discovered that powder. Every herb in it is planted by me. It was made by me solely."

Gu Li surely looked shocked again. His eyes again observed Li Rui's face.

How could this be possible!

That boy had said that only he knew how that powder was made!

Perhaps his patience was vanishing now, so he directly asked Li Rui.

"Do you know a person named Mi Luan?"

And Li Rui's eyes sharpened instantly.
