Chapter 572 Zhao Wang Lei\'s Thoughts

As Zhao Wang Lei walked through the dark corridors of the Imperial Palace in hurry with Eunuch Wang who held the lamp for him, he couldn\'t help but thank his mother silently inside his heart.

When he had killed that old physician, he had also ordered to destroy this garden but it was his mother\'s message sent to him that stopped him from doing so.

At that time, he had thought that he had already disappointed her enough, the only thing she was asking from him was that small garden to be kept and take care of, he could grant that small wish of hers so he let that garden stay in the Imperial Palace.

When had he thought that he would need the same garden one day to save the life of his beloved woman? He never wondered how General Li and Xi Ying knew about the garden.

He was just thankful that they knew about the garden so that they could come here. Otherwise, he would have perhaps killed everyone in this Empire and then himself.

Yi Jie was his bottom line. In front of her, everything was forgiven as well as everything could be destructed by him.

As Eunuch Wang waited for the door to get open, after knocking thrice Zhao Wang Lei took out the paper from his sleeve.

As soon as a head peeked outside the door, he forwarded the paper and said coldly.

"Bring this herb carefully out for us."

The person was obviously startled when he saw Zhao Wang Lei. It took him a few moments to recognize Zhao Wang Lei but when he did, his eyes went wide and he immediately opened the doors wide and said

"Your Majesty, this servant welcomes Your Majesty in this hum…"

"Stop this rubbish and do what you have been asked to do"

Zhao Wang Lei said coldly and the man who was about to kneel stopped abruptly. A moment later, he immediately vanished with the paper from there to get the asked herb.

It was a few moments later when Zhao Wang Lei was about to go inside himself and check that the man came back.

"Here it is, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wang Lei nodded his head in satisfaction seeing the herb properly placed in the large pot.

Eunuch Wang forwarded his hand to hold the pot from the man but Zhao Wang Lei stopped him and held it himself.

He was afraid that someone would spoil the herb. Xi Ying had told him that every part of this herb was needed to cure the poison.

And just like that, he walked back to his chambers quickly.

General Li was filled with relief when he saw Zhao Wang Lei stepping inside the chambers. He immediately walked to him and tried to take the pot from him.

However, Zhao Wang Lei avoided his hands and said coldly

"What if you spoiled it?"

The words made General Li\'s eyes cold and he couldn\'t help but whisper sharply.

"That\'s something that I should say to you. After all, you have always spoilt everything."

As he said this, General Li took the pot forcefully from shocked Zhao Wang Lei\'s hands. The proud Emperor must have never expected General Li to talk to him like this … especially after so many years.

However, General Li was not finished yet and continued

"Don\'t forget that she is my wife and my wife is my life. I will care for this pot more than anyone else can."

Saying this, General Li walked back to Xi Ying and said hurriedly.

"Let\'s leave, Prime Minister Xi."

Xi Ying nodded his head and soon General Li left the Imperial Palace with Xi Ying.

In a daze, Zhao Wang Lei walked toward his bed. General Li\'s words rang inside his ears again and again. Slowly, his eyes started to go red and his fists were clenched tightly.

He was breathing heavily as he questioned himself whether it was really he who spoilt everything! However, even if he did, he was already a long way ahead of thinking if he had done everything right or wrong.

Zhao Wang Lei suddenly clapped his hand thrice and a shadow guard appeared in his chambers a few moments later.

"Your Majesty."

The shadow guard kneeled down on the ground and greeted him.

"Follow Lord Xi and General Li. If they are going to Xi Manor then go to Xi Manor and report whenever you notice something strange."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The shadow guard obeyed without any question and soon left Imperial Chambers while Zhao Wang Lie continued to sit on his bed with a cold face.

.

.

All his way, Xi Ying felt someone following him. He wanted to check who it was but he also knew that he didn\'t have that much time.

So he decided to check it after reaching Xi Manor.

But on reaching Xi Manor, he realized that it was none other than Zhao Wang Lei\'s shadow guard. After some thought, Xi Ying didn\'t say anything to the shadow guard but he ordered An Shing not to let the shadow guard inside the Manor.

After that, he and General Li went to Plum Courtyard.

Liu Lan was standing at the entrance of the Plum Courtyard. She almost screamed in delight when she saw Xi Ying and General Li.

She didn\'t even need to ask if they had brought the herb. Liu Lan just knew that if it was his master then he would never come back unsuccessful.

"Here, give this to Madam."

Xi Ying took the pot from General Li and then gave it to Liu Lan.

Liu Lan held it carefully and went to the room, Li Rui was treating Yi Jie neither too slow nor too fast.

The sun had already risen in the sky and General Li and Xi Ying were still standing outside the room, Li Rui was inside with Yi Jie.

The door of the room finally opened after two whole shichens and Li Rui stepped out of the room.

Both of the men immediately looked at her waiting for her to say something. However, she had just stepped outside and whispered

"Ying…"

Her eyes suddenly started to close. Sensing that something was not right, Xi Ying hurriedly forwarded his arms to support her body that was about to collapse on the floor.

"Rui…"

And then Xi Ying\'s shout sounded in the Plum Courtyard.
