Chapter 514 An San Goes To Xi Manor

Xi Ying came out of the banquet hall after the Emperor left the banquet hall.

Standing inside the Imperial garden, he wondered what his next move should be. He needed to present the evidence but for that, he needed at least two of his shadow guards here.

One of them was already in Li Manor and the other was away to call the group of his shadow guards to come to Imperial City.

"Master, do you need something?"

X Ying came out of his trance when he heard a familiar voice.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. His eyes, however, went cold when he saw that person\'s face.

It was An San.

"What are you doing here?"

Xi Ying asked An San coldly.

An San bowed his head respectfully as he answered Xi Ying\'s question.

"This servant was monitoring Princess Wenling…following her to her courtyard as the master had asked me to do but then this servant saw the Master standing inside the garden and thought that the master might be in need of this servant. That\'s why I came here."

Xi Ying\'s eyes narrowed and he seemed to be thinking something.

He couldn\'t really trust An San.

In fact, he couldn\'t trust any shadow guard except An Ping, An Shing, An Su, An Si, and An Ju. Even these shadow guards of his, Xi Ying trusted only because he had tested their loyalty through different tests.

Still, Xi Ying took his own time now in trusting people. He had learned that sometimes his own judgment could also be wrong.

That\'s why Xi Ying didn\'t even ask for any help from Zhao Zhang Wei.

However, at this moment when he was lacking people on his side, he couldn\'t think of any other way. So after looking at An San coldly for a few moments silently, Xi Ying said suddenly in a very cold voice.

"Go to Xi Manor and ask An Shing to reach here as soon as possible."

An Shing and An Ju were in Xi Manor.

An Shing was left there to guard Xi Manor and An Ju was there solely for Li Rui.

Xi Ying couldn\'t bear to remove even a single person from their job because if anyone invaded Xi Manor then also, Li Rui will be in danger.

And that was also something that Xi Ying couldn\'t bear to do.

But he really wanted to end Li Na and Li Caihong\'s despicable game of staining his wife\'s reputation and spreading bad rumors about her again and again.

So Xi Ying thought that he could move only An Shing from his position as An Ju should be inside Xi Manor to protect Li Rui and Xi Ling.

An San\'s eyes flickered with disappointment when he heard his master\'s order.

He, of course, understood that Xi Ying wanted some work to be done but instead of telling him to do that work he was asking him to bring An Shing here.

An San lowered his head and with clenched fists, he said emotionlessly.

"Yes, Master."

After that, without saying anything, he left the Imperial Palace to go to Xi Manor.

Inside her chambers, Princess Wenling sat on the bed with a confused as well as the shocked expression on her face.

"Then did Li Rui really not plan anything four years ago…"

She whispered to herself in a low voice.

Until today, Princess Zhao Wenling has believed that it was Li Rui who intentionally messed up her plan that day. That\'s why she hated Li Rui so much.

She hated Li Rui because Li Rui dared to want the same man she wanted. Because she got the man she (Princess Wenling loved).

However, today after hearing Xi Ying\'s words, Princess Wenling suddenly thought that perhaps she really misunderstood Li Rui this time.

Li Rui had never stepped out of Li Manor after that incident of seventeen years ago. She knew it very well so… did it not mean that she had actually never seen Xi Ying before.

Princess Wenling inhaled sharply suddenly.

So it was because of Li Na and Li Caihong that her plan four years ago didn\'t succeed.

Li Na and Li Caihong…Princess Wenling suddenly twisted the hem of her dress.

Her eyes were filled with anger, coldness, and hatred.

If she could hate Li Rui because she had thought that Li Rui had planned all that then what were Li Na and Li Caihong!

They would certainly get what they deserved.

No! In fact, they would get more.

In some other part of the Imperial Palace, the convoy ministers from the neighboring Empires sat with each other inside a room.

One of them had a very serious expression on his face as he said

"Where are they? How could they still not reach here?"

The minister looked at the guard who stood there with his head bowed. The guard looked guilty as he raised his head a little and said

"My Lord, this servant really doesn\'t know why they are not here yet! This servant had planned really well and even had written a letter telling them strictly to reach on time."

The minister shook his head in disappointment with a somber face.

"This is not good! Your Majesty won\'t leave all of us if we don\'t succeed in our plan."

The other two ministers\' faces paled when they heard this and swallowed silently.

The real purpose of this visit to Xin was to kill the Imperial Prince whom the Emperor wanted to be his successor.

Since they also lost one Imperial Prince in the recent war, the neighboring Empire wanted to avenge his death by killing one prince from Xin.

And since Zhao Zhang Wei was assigned the task to welcome the convoy with Prime Minister Xi, the convoy\'s ministers thought that he was the prince they needed to kill.

After all, such tasks were assigned to the prince who was to succeed the throne to test his capability and ability.

And after seeing how the Emperor reprimanded Zhao Zhuang Chen in the banquet hall in front of everyone, their guess became more firm as no Emperor would scold the future Emperor in front of everyone like this.

So they have made a very nice plan to kill Zhao Zhang Wei in today\'s banquet but the people they needed to kill Zhao Zhang Wei have not reached the Imperial Palace yet.

So now they didn\'t have an inkling of what they could do!

"It\'s alright. We will wait. We still have some time."

One of the ministers said to the minister who looked serious and worried. The latter could only nod his head silently.

They could wait only. That was the only thing they could do.

Only the next half shichen would tell what will happen!
