Chapter 575 Xi Ying Has Gone Crazy?!
Chapter 575 Xi Ying Has Gone Crazy?!
In the Imperial Palace, the servants had started to do their daily chores.
However, the doors of the Imperial chambers didn\'t open daily. Eunuch Wang knew already that Zhao Wang Lei couldn\'t be disturbed after whatever happened last night.
Since today the Imperial assembly was not going to be there as it was just the next day after the banquet, Eunuch Wang decided not to knock on the door unless his master comes out on his own.
He stood obediently outside Imperial Chambers waiting for his master.
On the other hand, inside the Imperial chambers, Zhao Wang Lei was sitting on the bed in the same position.
Even the shadow guard who suddenly appeared inside the room was surprised when he found him sitting in the same position.
However, hiding his expression, he quickly kneeled down and greeted respectfully.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Wang Lei\'s body was taut as he looked at the shadow guard. His fists were clenched tightly when he asked him.
"What is the news?"
"General Li\'s wife is alright now, Your Majesty."
A few words washed away all the sadness, panic, and fear that Zhao Wang Lei had inside his heart for the past few shichens.
A few moments later, he found his voice again and asked
"How did you find out?"
"General Li himself came to find this servant and asked me to go back to tell His Majesty this news. General Li also asked to thank His Majesty in his stead."
Zhao Wang Lei\'s face was blank for a few seconds as he whispered
"Li Heng…"
But then the next moment, he scoffed coldly and said
"Leave."
The shadow guard left from there and Zhao Wang Lei also got up from the bed to do his jobs as an Emperor.
---------
The sun had already risen in the sky.
The rays fell inside the room lightening it up a little.
Li Rui was lying on the bed inside the same room. Her long eyelashes fluttered slowly showing that she was about to wake up.
Slowly, she opened her eyes once but closed them again when she couldn\'t get used to the brightness of the room.
"Mother…"
However, when she heard the soft and familiar voice, Li Rui couldn\'t keep her eyes closed for even a moment longer. She immediately opened them again and looked at the bedside.
"Mother…"
Xi Ling called out softly as his hand went out to hold his mother\'s pinky finger. He had a bright smile on his lips as he asked
"Mother, have you rested properly?\'
Li Rui smiled at her son. Inside her mind, the memories of what had happened before she had gone unconscious started to return little by little.
"Young Miss, you are awake."
Li Hua who had entered the room with hot charcoal to make the room warm immediately walked toward the bed.
She put the bucket of charcoal on one side and then walked to stand in front of her mistress.
"Young Miss, do you feel unwell? Or any kind of pain?"
She seemed to be very anxious as she didn\'t even take a breath as she hit her forehead with her own palm and said
"I should just call the old physician here to check the young miss."
Saying this, Li Hua turned around to leave the room when Li Rui stopped her and said
"No, there is no need."
Li Hua was about to argue when she heard Xi Ling asking her in a confusion-filled voice.
"Sister Li Hua, what happened to Mother? Why do you want that old man to come here and check Mother?"
Li Hua bit her tongue immediately.
Young Master woke up early and came running to find his mother. Li Hua told him that Li Rui was resting and he should not disturb her. She knew that telling Xi Ling that her mistress collapsed would not turn the circumstances into anything good.
Xi Ling was however a very sensible child. He obediently sat by her mistress\' side and didn\'t speak a single word.
But now she mistakenly spoke all this in front of him.
"That young master…I…"
"It is nothing, Xi Ling."
Li Rui said softly.
"Just the regular check-up to assure that your sibling is fine."
"Ohhh"
Xi Ling nodded his small head and then immediately said that he would go out and ask that old man to come here and check on his sibling.
As soon as Xi Ling ran out of the room, Li Rui asked Li Hua.
"Where is Ying?"
"His Excellency, Young Miss…"
Li Hua sighed as she started to tell her mistress that Xi Ying had found out about the shadow guards who were tied in the guest room from the old physician.
After that, he was very angry and ordered them to be beaten up until his next order.
Li Rui got down from the bed as soon as she heard this. She didn\'t know why but she wanted to see him as soon as possible.
"Young Miss…"
Li Hua tried to stop her when she saw that her mistress was trying to go out of the room.
"Miss, you still need to rest."
However, Li Rui shook her head. She picked up the shawl lying on the bed and draped it on her body.
"I am alright. Don\'t worry."
After saying this, she left the room and Li Hua could only follow her helplessly.
As soon as Li Rui stepped out of the room, she first went towards the guest room where those shadow guards were tied. However, when she opened the door, she didn\'t see Xi Ying anywhere.
There were only An Si and An Su inside the room who were beating those shadow guards.
Li Rui frowned slightly when her eyes suddenly fell on the blood trickling down a shadow guard\'s forehead.
She looked away immediately and covered her mouth. Felling the bile rising in her throat, she scrunched her eyebrows.
Li Hua immediately understood and picked the bowl from the nearby table.
Caressing Li Rui\'s back gently, she put the bowl in front of her and said
"Young Miss, are you alright?"
Fortunately, Li Rui didn\'t vomit out anything. Looking at the shadow guards who still had the wooden rod in their hands, Li Hua felt furious and said
"Can\'t you see that Young Miss is not feeling well? Stoop beating them already."
Surprisingly the shadow guards didn\'t refuse and obeyed Li Hua\'s words. After all, Li Rui was pregnant with their master\'s child. Her comfort was the first thing they would want.
Both of them threw away the wooden rods and stepped out of the room as Li Hua took Li Rui away towards the living room.
Soon An Ju also came there with the old physician.
"Girl, you are awake? Good…your husband would have chopped me alive if you had not woken up in this shichen. That irritating fellow…sigh."
Li Rui, on the other hand, was confused.
"I didn\'t feel anything last night at the sight of blood."
The old physician somewhat understood what happened just now and said immediately.
"It happens sometimes, Girl. Don\'t worry. But what are you doing here? Your body needs rest. Go and have rest."
Just as the old physician finished his words, General Li entered the living room.
Seeing Li Rui in the living room, his eyes flashed with relief and he immediately walked toward her and said anxiously.
"Fortunately, you are awake, Rui. Your dear husband had gone crazy. Go and stop him. He is going to the Imperial Palace to kill Zhao Wang Lei."
